Great piece here and I really like and appreciate your take on the whole article.

"that the truest way to live is by feeling our way through foundational problems instead of intellectualizing them, and that ultimately we have to make our own prizes instead of accepting those presented by an unhealthy society."

These words struck me the most... I will definitely write it somewhere and keep it with me.

Same for me as well. The process has to be embodied, integrated, felt all the way through.
