Materialism (championed by Darwinists) makes reason Impossible.

I am indeed remiss. I'd been watching your count as it got closer and then ended up missing it completely.

Well done, my friend.

Akhenaton: Aepervius is the smart one; I can't even spell "meaningless human artefacts".

Begin with something simpler.

“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.” (Winnie-the-Pooh)

Like, say, "Akhenaten"?

Everyone is treating it like a riddle.

For context, Falkowski said there are no truths. I gave an example of what I regarded as a true statement. If Falkowski is right then it cannot be a true statement. I asked why it was not true.

You managed to point out the gap that exists between what people say they believe and what they really believe. Nobody replied that the statement is not true because it cannot be because there is no such thing as a true statement.

It was against everybody's reality testing.
Verbal vs. real.
Point well made.

Excuse me while I call my dog.

No usable thumbs, doncha know...

Um , no.

Your teachers have failed you.

Would you like to name a principle of mysticism?

 

[tsig]

Would you like to name a principle of mysticism?

Using words to hide the meaning rather than communicate plus a feeling of superiority because you are privy to the mysteries of the universe.

 

[dafydd]

Would you like to name a principle of mysticism?

Making up vague,meaningless phrases like 'beyond the event horizon of the formless'. Name one benefit that mysticism has brought to mankind.

Using words to hide the meaning rather than communicate plus a feeling of superiority because you are privy to the mysteries of the universe.

The language of mysticism is entirely phatic.

I think you've made a spelling mistake.

David certainly has spelling issues.

It must have a meaning to you as you keep writing it, or do you keep repeating meaningless nonsense.

 

[punshhh]

Using words to hide the meaning rather than communicate

The meaning is a mystery, like the truth and the purpose.

plus a feeling of superiority because you are privy to the mysteries of the universe.

A good dose of humility would cancel out that pitfall, while not canceling out the thought process.

 

[punshhh]

interdependence
transitory nature of reality

Yes interdependence is a fact of the situation, however the process is individual to each person.

The transitory nature of nature yes, not necessarily reality.

 

[Lothian]

The purpose is no mystery. It is just a member of the Delphinoidea family similar to a dolphin but with with shorter beaks and flattened teeth.

Contrary to evidence.

You must be moving in the wrong circles, have you not experienced the power of humility in over-riding the wims and foibles of the ego?
