The author intuits that the goal of this essay contest question is to shed possible light on a practical, if not totally new, line of thinking, with improved understanding about existence. As complicated, vast and accomplished as human knowledge is, and our explorations have achieved, it is indeed possible we might have missed some other “essential(s)”, and that once we become alert to them, we can move beyond the seeming re-iterating set of ideas that traditional perspectives and perceptions have us mired in, with unresolved problems and problematic conceptual disjunctions, to break out from that set of un-resolved issues, and advance humanity and sentience beyond temporary recursive inertia.
