I would have liked to comment on some of your articles but you still have me blocked. This blocking of my comments seem to become a trend. Do you consider me an agent of the Dark lord? I'm in the middle again! Neither welcome in the abyss or the clouds of furry bloggers or political asylums. Either... Sign in to see full entry.
Lost Cause
People who are not capable of correctly discerning their dependence on others for their own views and livelihood cannot be expected to remotely understand an all inclusive view such as panentheism.

It feels pretty silly
to try and explain consciousness to consciousness. Consciousness is a given. It is the necessary prerequisite for understanding.
