>That comes After< -- the inception of a miniscule capability at --
Didja ever catch, in the '80s on PBS - a Brit wag's show, [link|http://www.amazon.com/Bonos-Thinking-course-Edward-Bono/dp/0563165006| De Bono's Thinking Course] ?? A *proof* that you Can! 'teach. thinking.'
Typ accompanying 'members' on his 'show' were aged ~8 to 80; random 'problems' were tossed out: audience was to contribute "angles of view" (A synonym for 'scale and relativity' I wot, then and now.) Fascinating to watch / partake.
Once a tyke has an intro into the Problem: that of the Mystery {sigh} ~ "why is there Anything, At All?"
Then [and Only then]
the fatuous bafflegab which (even on on into the sublime, very-occasionally)
- is the Stuff of religio warz -
can be seen for what it is,
(and, even in one warring faction's own fav symbolism! to boot):
a Tower of Babel / the Blind leading the Blind - while tithing the masses for the chance to hear their imaginitive guesses / buy their fancy robes.)
Etc.
See? (yet)
FIRST comes: the capacity to discern!
NEXT: may come (in some special cases) actual insight,
possibly even rough communication of that insight [don't count much on that]
-- if each one has first read The Tyranny of Words, thus appreciates just how many blab-words are bound to enter into Any 'religion' topic.
LASTLY: all who have, in this way, come to see the anatomy of the 'Issue'; those thus prepared -- can enjoy a decent belly laugh at, What Fools these mortals Be.
