Xeno, I don't understand it as a statement of logic. I understand it as a koan,
a statement meant to take the mind beyond logic to a deeper truth. I find there
is a level of life where all contradictions exist together. It is beyond
thought and feeling. I sometimes call it knowingness, but resonance might be a
more descriptive word.

That is of course Share, a logical contradiction; hence, false. A statement
like this acts as a metaphor for a certain way of understanding how the
universe runs, provided you can penetrate the metaphor for its real
significance. What has determinism? What has free will? Since they are
diametrically opposed in function, what could this mean, if it means anything
at all? Since the statement is literally untrue, why does it feel right to you?
Is that feeling correct, or is it based on some hidden assumption which allows
you accept a falsehood.
