Under Weigh~

The New Year is now firmly "Under Weigh". This is a nautical term that means to WEIGH anchor an put a vessel in motion. 

When I was a freshman in college I was very interested in a number of things other than the forced interest of 'hard' classwork, notably learning to pilot an airplane and sailing. 

The school I attended actually (at the time, and no longer) had a Small Boat Handling and Piloting class, along with a sailing class. As a result of taking these classes I gained a Coast Guard Inland Waterways ticket, and learned to sail boats with single sail and sloop rigs. As part of the class we went to Newport Ca. four times in the semester to learn coastal sailing, and the boats were just tied up to the dock. We did, however, have to learn how to set an anchor in a near shore situation such that the boat would not be carried onto the shore and damaged, and also how to 'weigh' and stow the anchor so that we could put the boat under sail.

It is literally impossible to put a boat (or ship) under sail without knowing how to 'un-set' the anchor from the sea bed. In fact, if you set the sail into the wind without weighing anchor you can actually capsize a boat that does not have a weighted keel. Bad news.

If we start to seach for truth in this new year without having first removed the anchors of predetermined paradigms that weighs down our Intellect it will be impossible for us to find the truth we are searching for, and set our 'boat' of truth in motion.  The paradigm that is most difficult to pull up is the idea that we have NOT been fooled into believing lies as if they are the truth. This concept is so heavy that it is nearly impossible for us to 'weigh', and we must 'slip' the cable and let the anchor go. 

Resolve that in this new year you will let go of those things that prevent knowing truth!
