Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Interesting idea. (One's access to er Reality?)
(Great second line here, but you'd have to have seen Laugh-In, for it to work.. ;-) Don't think logic will be of much help here.

Some would say: the 'communications are all around us'. (So would I.) Seems to be a matter of perspective.

It's the idea of Language, of written words = 'in our words', as if from a similar critter and a similar er mammalian nervous system: that is where the worldwide trouble began. A current embodiment is 'the personal God' <2-way> 'conversation with this entity'. I can see the appeal. But it has consequences for all.

People kill people over other people's interpretations of alleged Words direct from God. People invent 'favored tribes' meant to inherit 'promised real estate'! (Lots of junk-DNA in all those Words from on-high, when we get through with imagining.) Rest case on basis: this model hasn't worked, just creates Wars. Like today's.

(Particularly annoying when someone avers, "The Entity 'says' thus". Y'know?)

Words have some astonishing usefulness; poetry can capture what prose can't. They don't however, tell us anything about the Mystery - except what we want to hear.

What reads't thou, Hamlet?
words.. words..


Cheers,
A.

Now as to your sig.. ;-)
New LRPD: Thisisyour brain on bad interior design.Any questions?
New 'Twas a heads up only.
I just didn't think you should dismiss Norm's (and my) opinion of God's Message quite so readily. That's all. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, Ashton. (-:

My sig would take too long to explain unless you've seen "The Wings of Honneamise" a few times. Perhaps in another thread...? It is oddly appropriate, however, though perhaps not quite in the way you think.

"All around me are nothing but fakes
Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

New Nahhh. Prime Directive states clearly,
Don't spit in the soup
Everyone's got to eat


(Some just think the okra's slimy, and like to play with it)
