Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ... The meaning of a word is its use in the language. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free. Everything has been figured out, except how to live. One of Einsteins objections was that " God does not play at dice with the universe. " Bohr responded: " Quit telling God what to do!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yupper, Roberto, The reason for that being...living and life can only occur in the present. And the present presents itself in the eternal now. That must be enacted without any past thinking of 'how to be'. Hence no book to ascertain how to live. However, the story we are currently writing: our own life, is one where we fill in ALL our own blanks with the actions, reactions and contractions and expansions of being with which we consciously choose when we become aware of being able to consciously choose.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 " Trust is about whether we keep our word. Period. And most people don't learn this - that they must be almost perfect about this in order to be trusted - until after they've experienced some serious relationship problems along the way.
