Re: Mind's Eye Re: Search for meaning

James I am amazed at how much i do not  know or understand  ,,sigh but that is understandable considering as my view are very close to pantheism. (expansion and evolution) ..  

I read your link  and am not sure how to respond,,  me I would walk away from that person.

Happens to me all the time too Allan. I also ran right into pantheism by an offshoot, well my main new discovery was something I haven't read before (which is a nice surprise) called 'neutral monism' that sounded very familiar, as does Taoism, panpsychism, animism and the lot. This eventually (today) lead to something that sounded like a little bit of everyone (recent comments made), mostly a reflective or loose commentary about Animism and Personhood but mostly for 'fun' reading:

The personhood concept is interesting to me, as I haven't had the concept to aid my own experiences, need to reflect on what my mind is doing before becoming attached.

Strangely I was looking up some odd information..  I was looking  up something because of a news item  and stumbled across pantheism,  in reading it.  I was amazed the parallel of beliefs.. and the evolution of ideas. Things in the world have to change and if they don't they die..  sometime slow painful deaths.. lol  (bad comment deleted)

when some idea disagrees with the RC church is it is a heresy ,, and kill the heretics..  what if in reality they are the heretics ??

    "old" meaning ever gone?  Or merely integrated into the new?

        sound (it's dull).  Mostly, I find human meaning derived from
        inadequate knowledge based in language hostile to inquiry.
         Most human life is clearly meaningless and to do with habit
        and a few, often peevish emotions and desires, generally
        directly biological or cultural.  My questions would be about
        invention and imagination that allow new meaning.
