"Innerways"

Posted on Apr 8th, 2008 by Itlandm : Conscientious Observer Itlandm

A while ago I wrote for myself a piece of how a youngs person near the middle of the century would look back at our time. It was surprisingly fun, and even my English was different. One of the most interesting concepts, which I had never heard of before, was "Innerways". To the imaginary future person, it was a very real and everyday concept.  From the way he used it, I got the impression that it was like the spiritual practices of the world religions, but with the mythic context taken away and set aside as optional, only the techniques and processes being taught as a mandatory part of public education.

Fast forward to today, when for the first time in my life I find a webpage (http://love-or-money.com/literature/innerways.htm) that actually uses the word "innerways" and explains the concept. It is a bit different from the way my imaginary future person used it, the webpage is more complicated, but recognizable.  It is mildly disturbing (but not unusual to me)  to find such a connection. Causality reversed:  If I had not used the world "innerways", I would not later have googled it and found out that it existed.

I know I have never seen it before, because it is in the middle of my interests and I would have squeed over it, bookmarked it, thought about it and written about it.  Actually I'm doing that right now.
