Your mind has an idea of what "fire" is, mine has a different idea. >> << Let's dispense with definitions. Let's dispense with the word "fire," and even the CONCEPT of "fire." Let's dispense with every rational thought, and enjoy things as they ARE, not as how they're defined. At this place we walk together as One! >> Tim in a preceding email: << To apply these practically, the engineer uses the formulas, but simply leaves the infinity symbols out, drops them! How's that for denying reality? >> How can we not stick to definitions using words, you ask... Formulas are like words, by leaving out the 'infinity' symbol out of the formulas the 'practical engineer' closes the world he wants to design from reality. A layer of illusion is created between his closed world of though and reality. Same goes for words, as we make them static entities of syntax. Why dispense when one can open? Such a process may look as a fire, until only the pure essence is left. Antoine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
