You're soaking in it, Madge.

The problem seems to be more one of answers than questions. It is perfectly valid, but extremely difficult, to live in a space where you have no answers.
But don't mistake that for accepting the pat, simplistic answers that the mental authorities give to us and then claiming you're on neutral ground.
For instance, the GDP (to use a recent example) is a bullshit number. People believe in it, but it doesn't really mean very much other than the fact that people believe in it. What seems to most people to be "real reality" is far far from it and contains more "magick" behind it than is acknowledged.
So maybe a good beginning is to realize that we've already "faked" a lot of things, and undo those.
De-construction is a better, easier path to begin with than re-construction sometimes.
