In Edgar's defence, try telling a door-post, or a one day old baby, or a person in a coma - "Just This" - and see if they Awaken. So the intellect is needed to both live and set the conditions for awakening, but toreally live we have to go beyond the intellect into intuition and awareness. 2 plus 2 = 4. But what does 4 equal?

One-up-man-ship Did never steal THIS show. Generosity and consideration Are a far more wholesome ration. But Clarity, Honesty, and help, Come not from a whelp. To raise a point and then depart Is the misplaced throwing of a dart. To live to lie another day, is the cellulose Philosophy of a bale of Hay. --J.
