<h1>Work with the NavBlock</h1>
<div class="container"><p class="parabox">¶{{#counter:in1}}</p>Don't expect {{apts}} to be encyclopedic, a compendium of knowledge about things. If you're interested in up-to-date knowledge about <i>what something is</i>, look in Wikipedia. Come to {{apts}}, not to know about <i>the world as it is</i>, but to think about how you intend to live in a world imbued with meaning, significance, value, import — <i>the world of our intentional lives</i>.</div>

<div class="container"><p class="parabox">¶{{#counter:in1}}</p>This interest in intentional life, our personal agency, informs the way we work with the NavBlock. What you see now is not the tip of a topical hierarchy allowing you in a few quick hops to hit the topic you want. Intentional life does not primarily concern identities; rather it involves agency. The NavBlock works as a set of controls. You'll always find it at the upper right of every page — the driver's seat from which you steer wherever you go. Key elements are five questions basic in our thinking about intentions — why? who? what? how? where/when? They surround a link to tools, digital resources that we can use in seeking to fulfill our intentions.</div>

<div class="container"><p class="parabox">¶{{#counter:in1}}</p>Our intentional lives involve each of us as a whole persons, and on {{apts}} the NavBlock stands continually at hand with which we each of us can and should work the whole site as whole persons. We do not seek set items of information — bingo, be gone! The intentional life continues, sustained by curiosity, aspiration, hope, interest; spurred by need, concern, anxiety; directed by discernment, purpose, value; attracted by beauty, joy, and love.</div>

<div class="container"><p class="parabox">¶{{#counter:in1}}</p>In a life of study, we try to form ourselves and express what we can can should become in the community of peers. The NavBlock enables {{apts}} to facilitate that effort.</div>
