Principles in Focus

“ Wor ds are a lens t o f ocus one's m ind.”

“ Realit y … Reason … Right s … Rom ance”

“ To t he Glor y of Man”

*

Ayn Rand (1905-1982)



The Philosopher Hero

A teacher , a leader , a pr ot ect or ,a sim ple m an of calm in t ensit y;

A gent leman of Tr ut h , Cour age, and Honor ;

A man in t ouch and at peace,

wit h h imself and t he wor ld;

A poet who speaks of

Har m ony, Wholeness, In t egr it y, Just ice, Fr eedom;

No one who m eet s him r em ain s unchanged.

He m oves people t o r ise

above t he cir cum st ance t hat t r aps t hem…

And r egain t he vision of li fe as

Benevolence, Enchant m ent , and Advent ur e.



The pr eceding por t r ait was extr act ed fr om a post t o an int er net

for um in a t h r ead t hat was discussin g t he 19 70 s series, "Kun g Fu"

(about a Chinese-Amer ican Shaoli n pr iest , Kwai Chang Caine, movin g

t hr ough t he lives of people in west er n f r on t ier Ameri ca). A r eader was encour aged by t he wor ds t o creat e f r om t hem what she called “ a

t ext ual obj ect ” , because she saw it as “ a por t r ait of a very f in e

hu man being” . She want ed t o f r ame t he wor ds in such a way t hat

she could f ocus on t hem and dr aw fr om t hem “ a mo t ivat ion, an

encour agement , and a st atement of i dealism ” .

What follows is a ser ies of fr ames of ar t ist ic ph ilo soph y: set t ings of

principles in focus, portraits of fine human be-ing —movements of

lif e in love wit h lo gic and light .

The wor ds are sim ple and bold, but in t heir sim pli cit y and bo ldness,

when read slowly and carefully —t he t r ut h is shar p and clear : easier

t o t hink about —put t ing th e mind in focus and t he hear t in

harmony…

Religious Philosophy

I ’ve r ead a few books r elat ed t o t he “ phi losophy of r eligion” , such as

Religion wit hou t Revelat ion by Julian Huxley, Hero wit h a Thousand

Faces by Joseph Campbell, and The Rom ant ic Manif est o by Ayn Rand.

I ’ve given as mu ch t hou ght t o t he essence of r eligion as I have t o t he

essence of ph ilosoph y, in t he 30 + years sin ce I fi r st r ead Rand ’s The Fountainhead.

I didn’t know it t hen, but r eading The Fountainhead was an intense

and l if e-changing, “ r eli gious” exper ience for me, as well as on e of

phi losoph ical enl ight enm ent . The catalyst was t he har mony o f t he

r om ant ic ar t and r ati onal, object ivis phi losophy in Rand’s novels.

Ever since t hen, m y li fe’s jour ney can be descr ibed m ost ly as a

r eligious object ivist ” one, alt hou gh I ’ve never belon ged t o any

par t icular r el igion o r chu r ch.

Those of you who h ave r ead The Foun t ainhead may r ecall t h e scene

where a client (coached and manipulated by Toohey), when

per suading Roark t o bui ld a religious t emple, r emar ked t hat Roark,

who d idn ’t believe in God, was “ a deeply r eli gious man—in hi s own

way” (par aph r ased). I would say t hat I , t oo, am r eligious sim ilar t o

t he same way Roark was. I do not believe in “ God” , “ fait h” or an

“ aft er lif e” , as t hose ideas are com monly defined—but I do believe ina “ per fect being” , a st ate or qu alit y of pu r it y, un it y, and who leness—

of consecr ati ng and at t aining th e hi ghest ideals of l if e.



For me, it ’s not “ God” who is t he sup r eme being, laying down t he

law, lor din g over m e and t o whom I must give obedience. The

ult im ate absolu t e for me is r ealit y: all t hat which is, is what i t is; t he

being of all beings is being it self . And t o live by t hi s absolu t e being,

t his obj ect ive r ealit y, is m y ult im ate pur pose. Thus, t he highest ,sacr ed value for lif e is obj ect ive t r ut h—bein g t r ue to what i s r eal—

wit h t he cor ollar ies of honest y, ju st ice, and cour age, of achievement ,

beaut y, and joy.

I r egard “ r eligion” as if i t wer e t he emot ional-mot ivat ional

coun t er par t t o t he int ellect ual-validation al aspect of l i f e whi ch isone’s philosophy. Like philosophy, religion also serves to integrate

one’s lif e int o a consist ent and m eaningfu l whole. The wor d

“ r eligion” et ymologically r elat es t o t he idea “ t o bind t oget her” .

“ Holy” r elat es t o t he “ whole” . “ Wor ship” r elat es t o a st at e of

wort hin ess, of h aving wor t h. I n sho r t , t o be r eligious, for me, is t o

ho ld one’s lif e as being ho ly, bein g sacr ed—t o be wor shipped as t heult imat e value sought —t o l ive t hat whole l ife wit h dedicat ion, t r ut h,

int egr it y, and pur pose.
