the history of religion in two sentences.
People used to believe in 'the soul' as they believed in grammar and
the grammatical subject: people said that 'I' was a condition and
'think' was a predicate and conditioned — thinking is an activity and
a subject must be thought of as its cause. Now, with admirable
tenacity and cunning, people are wondering whether they can get out of
this net — wondering whether the reverse might be true: that 'think'
is the condition and 'I' is conditioned, in which case 'I' would be a
synthesis that only gets produced through thought itself.

No mystery there, Bub -- It's a small black hole, which I dropped into a
"parking orbit" between the third and fourth spheres of the inner earth.
I did so without affecting the orbit of the Moon, and restored the spin
of the Earth's core at the same time -- which had been altered by an
early HAARP experiment which is what knocked Planet X into a
hypereliptical route *outside* the planet in the first place.
If you want an excercise to get you in the proper frame of mind on this,
visualize the Earth as a Binary System, keeping in mind the concept of
"stars" as gravity wells. Contemplate the rythmic flux of Solar and
Lunar tides as an Extemely Low Frequency carrier wave. The sense of
Gravity is, IMO, the "sixth sense". You should reach a point where you
sense two pyramidical constructs of sensory apparatus -- the
ears/eyes/pineal construct and the nose/mouth/throat chakra.
I'm quite Sirius.

That describes those bits of reality. It defines them. Without
defining them, language can't refer to them, not even if you call
referring to them "noting" them. Not even if you say it really really

The things I cannot see.
A
A definition is a description, although a description may not be a
definition. The set of conditions called "definition" is a subset of the
set called "description". So, while you can have a description without
having a definition, it doesn't work the other way around.

Things which you describe as that which you cannot see. That's a
description, but not enough of one to make it a definition of those things.
Also a cure for kidneys. Probably wouldn't be all that popular, except

No, it doesn't. I am not sure what you are trying to say, it's not
clear what "which" refers to, using incomplete sentences when we are
trying to talk about language is a bad idea.
I think you are trying to say that what I have said clearly states
that defining and describing are different in 'this context'.
But that is definitely not what I have stated. To say "That describes
those bits of reality. It defines them." is to say that describing
and defining are the same thing. I am using "that" and "it" at the
beginning of the two sentences without otherwise assigning a meaning
to them, which implies that they are referring to the same thing. I
think it should be clear that "it defines them" without any further
expansion in that context is implying that "describes those bits" and
"defines them" was intended to be two ways of phrasing the same thing.
It should be a moot point though, because what you are saying is that
what I said was different from what I meant. It should be fairly
obvious that was not what I meant, because your point is bringing it
up was to attempt to point out that it contradicted my overall
meaning.
Arguing what the other person you're talking with -really- means by
what they say is not a good idea.
***
In any event, I think you are really missing how simple the point is
here.
What this boils down to is that you are saying that you can refer to
things without referring to them. Think about it, that is inherent in
what I originally said, so if you have any point, it is necessarily
equivalent to that.
The irony is, you are playing a convoluted language game to try to
both refer to a thing then, using language, define that reference as
something other than a reference.

The point you are trying to make *is* simple. It's also wrong, and that's
the part *you* keep misunderstanding. It's not that people don't understand
what you're trying to say; it's that they know you're wrong and you don't.
Or is this another case in which you'll try to escape an admission that
you're wrong by claiming you're actually just trolling?

a size that fits your big headed view of the world. You treat every
topic on this ng like your own pink inflatable blow up doll and attempt
to screw the thing into obscenity like it was a bitch on heat.
Apache.
>Archi and Zappy baby are totally correct in their
>own unique ways but you are definately off base by a mile.
I'm afraid that's not really true.
It's not just a nitpick with semantics. In fact, it's a fairly
important philosophical point that it is not possible to separate
reality from our description of reality. A lot of people's
assumptions about what's real and what isn't and what is possible and
what isn't have their basis in an inability to separate their
description of reality from reality itself; and doing so is extremely
difficult because we are strongly strongly trained to treat our
description of reality as corresponding to reality.
This is why many philosophies, especially Zen, play what seem to be
such strange anti-games with language. They are attempts to break
that brainwashed one-to-one correspondence of language with reality.
After Archangel's last post, I just give up on it. Tom, in fact,
summed it up perfectly, IMO. Archangel is making a description of a
thing and saying it isn't a description of the thing. It's simply
wrong, wrong in a clear and obvious way. It's frustrating on Usenet
that if two people keep arguing, then generally people assume they are
both right. Really, I suppose it's why I tend to argue ad infinitum
with somebody who says "the sun is purple" or something just patently
wrong. I can't stand to see somebody carry a point succesfully simply
by persistence. "The sun is purple". "No, it isn't". "BOYS, you're
BOTH RIGHT, have a HUG".
I'm not trying to be a jerk or make fun of you, but rather the trend
on usenet in general.
For the most part anyway, I have given up trying to carry on serious
conversations on usenet. I do, at times, when something spontaneous
like this comes up which I find interesting. But I used to try to
actually carry on serious discussions primarily, and they would always
turn out like this. Sometimes I wish there were judges like the
ancient Greek Sophists who you could call on who would simply look at
a thread logically and make a ruling. As it is though, it seems to me
that in general the people who are most likely to be wrong are also
the most persistent.

People in Cyperland. The Freemasons and Thelemites in the United States
Federal Govfernment have been altering my posts. Once they changed a
prayer I put online to the Almighty Father YEHOVAH and changed it to a
prayer to the violent demonic hindu goddess Kali. Once they tried to
cover up the evidence i posted from a Masonic site that revealed that
these Freemasons are Satanists by modifying the contents of the post i
posted but later when i protested that the contents had been changed in
my post and told them i had a printout of the original contents and
also posted to www.freemasonrywatch.org the real contents they changed
my post back to what it was previously. Dick Cheney the vice president
of the USA is a Freemason. Just now they changed a post about my son
and took out the statement where i said; "My Male Offspring is
YEHOVAH's Battle-Axe!". Since these Freemasons and Thelemites and other
occultic orders can alter the contents of things on the internet then
they have destroyed their opertunity to prosecute anybody of wrongdoing
on the internet. I am very astute and I am not so stupid that i
couldn't remember that I clearly put the statement in my post saying;
"My male offspring is YEHOVAH's Battle-Axe!"

*Apache looks sadly at Zapanaz and passes him a Cadbury's cream egg*
You see - it's nice golden sugar cream inside and chocolate outside,
but that's not what you ask the lady for at the store. If you've ever
had a Cadbury's cream egg, you'll know what I mean. If you haven't
then it's just a description to you, of a piece of reality you haven't
came across yet:-)
I understand your point about descriptors of reality, and it's a very
important point. You absolutely and definitively cannot go properly
mad, seeing God, and raving about how 'nothing realy matters', without
knowing this intimately. And let's face it - going a little mad is
much better than Cadburys cream eggs, and better than sex even.
However - explorers without maps are just lost people wandering around.
Worse - they are impossible to teach!

But every topic in this newsgroup really is an inflatable doll, though not
always pink. (Isn't "inflatable blow up" an unnecessary redundancy?) They
are all playthings. Anyone may amuse themselves with them in any way they
wish.
I always find it hilarious when a person accuses me of "obscenity" while
spewing out a raunchy sex fantasy of her own.
Have you any idea how ridiculous that makes you look?
It seems to me to be the height of stupidity to suggest that because I note
I cannot describe something because I cannot see it, is actually describing
it.
But hey. It drew Tom into making yet another stupid comment so perhaps it
wasnt completely useless.

If this were really the point and it was simply badly made then I accept the
clarification and agree. With the einsertion of the word 'our' immediately
before the first occurrence of the word 'reality'. Since our own reality is
often a unique subset of the possible interpretations of the reality we
perceive this is justified.

Agreed, except for the brainwashing bit. What often appears to be
conditioning is simply that one has not yet learned to think objectively and
independently. Brainwashing implies malice, agenda and purpose.

Good God. This from Mr Adhominem himself... still, the Mr Reasonable act
either shows he is hurting and feeling all insecure about something or the

earlier) has been refreshed. Now lets see... which is it?

I don't think 'brainwashing' implies those things, I didn't mean it
that way anyway.
For that matter, we couldn't survive without that 'brainwashing' or
cultural conditioning or whatever we call it. Maybe when I was 14 or
so I resented cultural conditioning, but while I still see it as a
thing to be transcended, I don't think there is any 'conspiracy' to
it, it's essential to being anything at all.
If you want to see a really good explanation of this, get "Branford
Marsalis: The Music Tells You", a Maysles brothers documentary about
Branford Marsalis, and really pay attention to what he says about
freedom and structure in jazz music. IMO it extends to life in
general, it gave me a mini-epiphany when I saw it the first time.
