Response to the Logician: 070903:

Part VI of VI

Logician: … Don’t worry it’s normal used by millions from the “shamans” of old to the “Pharisees” of the new, and the “charlatans” of the modern, all in a bid to impose their personal understanding of the world forward before others. If you can’t explain it, it is therefore divine or has a bit of the divine in it, that understanding has lead to more deaths then all the bombs ever dropped in history. Logically there is a part of every living thing that cannot be defined in a neat little sentence or phrase or word, and just what that is, is not for one individual to EVER define, thus taking away the mystery that is life and love and therefore (maybe) a combination of the two may possibly be. There can be a billion wonderful expressions attached to the question of life and love, so why the Hell should they be reduced to a few, let’s call them, popular phrases, which over time change no matter what.

Djs: Truth is truth and does not ‘change’ over time. Our perception of truth may change as we grow to understand reality but that does not change truth, what it changes is simply our perception.

Logician: …Because I can believe in your teachings, …

Djs: I would take this as a compliment if I didn’t know you ‘believe’ in everyone’s ‘beliefs’, ‘rational dialectics’, statements, arguments, conclusions, morals, ethics, fundamental premises, … As you say: Everyone is ‘right’.

Logician: … basically because I can understand all the aspects of it, I can also choose not to believe in it, as I have found, as I have, in all other teachings, huge holes in their theories of the reasons for everything and they clouded it in religious dogma and the ever present “divine” card played at every table when the “chips are down”. …

Djs: I hope this exchange helps to clear up some of your perceptions.

Logician: Don’t take what I’ve written personally, …

Djs: The dialogue is interesting and no personal affront is taken.

Logician: … if you do then you are not ready for what you thought you could achieve. Hey, you could be right after all and everything I have just written is false. It doesn’t mean I’m wrong though, and you still could be seriously wrong and on the verge of starting yet another “belief-krig” …

Djs: I do not know how a ‘belief-krig’ could start from this site since the concept of ‘belief’ is not the foundation of this site.  

Logician: … that could quite easily result in an early exit of the human species from this planet, but who am I to tell you anything?

Djs: The point of this site is to bring us as individuals and a species to a new level of understanding regarding reality and our role within reality. This site does not act as a catalyst for our demise.

The point is to prepare us to respect the uniqueness of the individual as opposed to verbalizing the individual being unique but taking actions to force the individual to conform.

The point is to prepare us for an interaction with life forms outside our planet.

We have a choice. We can either attempt to understand reality and understand our role within reality or we can, out of fear of offending anyone, simply say ‘everyone is right’.

Logician: So, Mr. Shepard, may I thank you yet again for your reply.

Peace, Love and Respect
