Explorers are seekers, question askers, answer listeners, conjecture framers and testers, pattern finders, song makers. Without reverence, awe and wonder, life is pointless. This is something the explorer knows, though e may never give it words. Resonance is the expectation of magic. It opens the spirit for reverence.
Magic is fusion, in real doing, of wonder, sensitivity, intensity, and integrity.
Quest is an aesthetics governed pattern of explorations chosen in expectation that they will increase the density of magic, and so intensify resonance. When magic is absent, resonance is improbable. Being comprises all aspects of the universe which lie beyond our awareness but which affect our awareness. Without respect for Being, magic is improbable. The life of the explorer is made of cycles of conjecture and refutation, bringing successes, failures, and new questions.
