Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 L.E: For thousands of years there have been a few of us that have tried to describe what we are, how we work, how we run, operate, think, etc. In all that time, with all those words, what we are has stayed about the same. The words and talking changed nothing, added nothing, improved nothing. And here we are with more and new words by the professors, philosophers, academics, spiritual teachers, and the As We Are stays about the same. Such futility, yet what an interesting game for those who want to play it and think, how grand I am for being so skillful to be winning this game and being king of the hill. And as usual, small groups of those seeking power and influence use the new words to capture positions of superiority over others. See how a small group of jews captured authority over the tribe. See how a small group of christians captured authority over europe, see how a small group of muslims captured authority over arabs, and on and on. Now there is fuzzy logic, fuzzy wuzzy, fuzzy buzzy. Trying to capture the truth with new words. Reality cannot be captured by words or verbal dictators who think because they can endlessly talk they deserve power over others. Fidel Castro talks for hours as he sits in power over cuba and cubans. Even on this list, there are the big mouths full of words trying to dominate the discussion, control the environment of minds that participate. Futile, dangerous.

" attempt' is a good and judicious description Mats, of this utter failure at communicating anything whatsoever. " The words and talking changed nothing, added nothing, improved nothing. " .........yes I can see this is true. " And as usual, small groups of those seeking power and influence use the new words to capture positions of superiority over others...........'fuzzy wuzzy, fuzzy buzzy'..Trying to capture the truth with new words. " .....yes ok now I see who's 'attempting' to do that. " Reality cannot be captured by words or verbal dictators " .......nice attempt again at capturing some Reality " Fidel Castro talks for hours as he sits in power over cuba and cubans.
