[SA] Put another way, since you seem to cautiously step back to what might be mystic, which is fine and dandy on your part, nothing wrong with such an approach. I don't really know where the "too mystical" comment comes from on your part though.
[Krimel] I am sorry if I gave the impression that I seem to "cautiously step back" from mysticism. I had hoped to make it clear that I thumb my nose, turn my back and walk away from it. At a philosophy club meeting in Boston last week the topic was naturalism and mysticism. It was interesting because the naturalists seem agreeable to the idea that mystics have meaningful personal experiences and the mystics seemed to agree that these experiences probably offer nothing definitive to say about the nature of reality. Even I could buy that. There are no doubt very nice health benefits to be obtained from martial arts, yoga and tai chi exercises. I don't doubt for a second that meditation and relaxation have a positive impact on mental health. But the same can be said about tennis and speaking in tongues. [SA] I'll set it up this way to help you understand. You can ask, "What is Quality?" or "Is this Quality?" and the answer is situational, depends on what your referring to. Your get a static answer, but the question remains into the next situation/experience. [Krimel] Well, in a word, no. If you ask "Is this Quality?" you get a situational answer. If you ask "What is Quality?" You get, "Mu." My point was that the first question can be answered the second can't. [SA] Haven't met anybody that knew everything. [Krimel] I offered up a quote not long ago. I forget exactly how it went and where I got it but it went something like: "It is not possible to know everything about anything but it is possible to know more about anything."
