I wasn't really thinking along those lines Marsha. That book by Ellul changed my thought patterns on Truth vs Reality; he formulates it exactly opposite the way you did. I was seeking dialogue and communication for better understanding. Dialogue was my point. Dialogue is my point.

It helps when you are in such an abstract activity as metaphysical discussion to remain grounded in real things. It's just a philosophy of mine. I notice you ascribe to the same sort of technique or where does shelled peas and lunch you mention in the post I first responded on have any long-lasting metaphysical importance? > And since the subject of these posts makes "your eyes sorta glaze over", > why did you think you could creatively add something of interest to the > topic? > I didn't say the subject makes my eyes glaze. I said people who wanna think and talk about reality beyond thought and language make my eyes glaze over. Self contradiction always makes my eyes glaze over. Self contradiction cloaked in appeal to authority makes my eyes glaze over and my brain see red. And I did not "think" I could add anything of interest to our dialogue. I was interested and I responded like a flower turning to the sun. Intrigued, I write.
