re. planning

A person just argued with me about planning. You need a plan, etc. as if reflective expressionism contradicted the concept of planning. Two thoughts. One is that the mind that does not reflect, works in mutual exclusivity. This was a perfect example of a person who has to have either/or choices. A menu from which to choose. In many respects, it is like the educational system that tests intelligence in the form of multiple choice tests. There is always a right answer and several wrong ones. I never understood that concept of evaluation. Talk about boiling complexity into simplicity to make the world easier. It is no wonder that the education system bores the hell out of the intelligent, and condemns the poor performers. Purely a system built for getting people to follow "normality", unless one is strong enough to question correctness.

The second thought is that planning is just as arbitrary as the results desired from the plan. A plan is great if the plan is founded in the natural self from which it was born. Otherwise, it is a plan for futility that will lead to nothing greater than what already exists. Spinning wheels come to mind. The essence of reflective expressionism is that a plan will evolve by itself when you allow the mind to follow and support purpose for being. You can write down the plan if you wish, but personally I find it mundane.

Laughing...that is why I used to write papers, and then write the outline from the finished draft. It was a waste of my time, but I had to write the outline.
