First, let me say how much I'm looking forward to this series. You're covering some extremely fascinating stuff here and I can't wait to read from your perspective on the subject matter.

I like your approach to Platos allegory of the cave. I like the idea that the "true world" is something that can be accessed by a means of perception. The majority of us undoubtedly live in the cave, which is also accused by your perception. Depending on how you see the world, as well as yourself in relation to the world, determines whether or not you reside inside or outside of the cave.

In regards to the analogy of the chariot and the two horses (read more on "thumos" if you haven't already) it's absolutely paramount to give balance to the two forces (passion and reason) pulling the driver (you) in order to move forward successfully.

Allow passion to pace ahead too far and you risk losing yourself to unbridled creative energy, which can prove to be deadly in its explosiveness and unpredictability.

The same is true for allowing reason to take too much of a lead. If you do, you run the risk of becoming to cautious and never taking opportunity when it is presented to you, becoming stagnant.

Followed, upvoted, and resteemed! If you have a moment, consider checking out my latest piece here and let me know what you think! : )

Again, very much looking forward to your future work!
