Czesc again;
Er...I don't feel outwitted at all,
I'll get to that in a minute...
You're definitely not the
oldest on the list, there's at least 3 intheir forties, I think most are in the
20's range, if you really want everyone's age just go www.creedlist.com -
most of us have profiles there.You definitely don't seem like a "dinosaur" at
all, and I don't really see the need for
the exclamation point - what does age have to do with the
mind?
Where you said: "knowing
that there is no universal meaning to life you
can create your own personal meaning to it and who knows maybe this is
the actual meaning
to our lives," that's close to what I meant by quoting "...only
in acceptance of mortality will you learn the secrets of
immortality..." So we're close to the same wavelength there. But
just
because I have an
interest in transcendentalist discussion doesn't
necessarily denote any belief on my part in transcendentalism. To sum upwhat I had said
before, if I can't see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or feel it, it is not there. But that in no
way negates my asking "what is real?" I
merely acknowledge that we can never be entirely confident in saying that anything is real.
It is just my personal belief that what is real is that which can be seen, heard, smelt,
tasted, or felt. However, I open my opine to questioning by others because
I am still not entirely
confident in saying that those are the only parameters of reality.
However, that is
the most convenient definition for it that I can conjure. So, working with my
denotation, I ask - what do you mean by supernatural senses? Are you implying that
we have some sort of sensitive psionic abilitythat
allows for clairvoyance or empathy or some form of sixth sense? Intuition you say? Well, you missed Jim's and
my long discussion on dreams and intuition and such, but my
basic idea is that intuition is just conscious recall of
subconsciously realized ideas. I stand with Nikola Tesla in the
department of psionics.I
don't ratiocinate that there are any parallel universes, and if there are, what does it matter? It does not affect
mankind primvm dvm, ergo why worry about it primvm
dvm?
And "olden lay" isn't a person
(ha!), it just means "lyric/poem/narrative
of a former age." What I mean is that 'tis a
(presumably) old
poem-type writ called "The Voice of the Raven." The author is unknown, so I can't quote a person, and
"olden lay" sounds pray cool anyway.
Anyway, dobranoc for now, see
ya'round.
