Jon A, I detect a prebit of irony in your note.
Although I respect Peirce's ethics of terminology and observe his recommendations when they are appropriate and realistic,I also know that most of them have died on the vine of common sense. If Peirce had owned an automobile, he would have called it an autokineto. Greece is the only country in the world that uses the word 'autokineto'.

I have the fondest nostalgia for my Be Here Now days when we all cleansed the Doors Of Our Perceptions at every available opportunity and strove to attain the Purity Of Thoughtlessness. And yes, a bit or prebit of meditation now and again makes for a healthy mind. But been there then, did that when, and I know where it ends - the science unsigned is not a true science.
