1. recognize that reality is, in a sense, wonderful. And avoid deflating descriptions of that which fills you with wonder (example of such a description would be to describe culture in a manner that fails to take into account the use of symbols). 2. seek to understand 1 without resorting to the fantastic or fanciful. 3. be open to the possibility that reality is greater than you can imagine (in other words, openness to mystery).
