Ham: I think you're both applying labels injudiciously to what should be regarded as either an objective or a philosophical approach to understanding.
Ron's assertion that universal experience is "sanity", whereas subjective experience is "mystical" is an unnecessary distortion of these terms, since both kinds of experience are common to sane and insane people. Aren't you simply saying that shared experience leads to knowledge "by consensus", while proprietary experience cannot be universally validated? Unless you're talking about paranormal experiences, such as seeing the face of Mary on a grotto wall, there's nothing particularly "mystical" about art or religious concepts, or the affects these values have on the individual. Ron: Art and religion have had profound impact on the values of my individual. Have you never experienced awe or ecstasy? never saw a painting that emoted a feeling? a piece of music that made you weep with joy? Small wonder you need Essentialism.
