“Every human being has the right to answer life’s basic questions for himself or herself, and a large part of our trouble is that we make do with other people’s answers.” R.F. Mackenzie
Hunter in Inverness
R.F. Mackenzie had a huge impact on my life, unknown to him, or until recently myself.
I picked up a book entitled A Search For Scotland, a book sitting on the bookshelf in the guest room in my mother’s home.
The former headmaster of Summerhill Academy a progressive and controversial school that operated in Aberdeen, Scotland, Mr. Mackenzie writes about the finding of self through understanding one’s community lineage.
In a day and age that sings the praises of ancient Gurus and Teachers as the adjunct of Enlightenment, it is refreshing to read an emphatic call to self-discovery and Self-understanding from a Brit.
My recent years of training has been as a guide to others in their quest of Self. This book puts a refreshingly British view on the trip. Sounds strange? I encourage you, dear reader, to read a little of the book, then stop. Ponder. And ask yourself. “Who am I?”
I would love to hear your answer.
