[FRIAM] This makes me think of this list...

[glen]

IDK. It's useful to remind oneself how batshit everyone (including oneself from years ago or years from now) is. It's only frustrating when you're, as Steve put it, high on your own supply. It's funny. At the salon, when I manage to repeat back some batshit perspective one of the participants extruded onto the table, well enough such that the person who extruded the guano honestly believes I "get it" ... my closer friends looking at me like I've been body-snatched, etc. When that happens, I can't help but wonder why these people are all so convinced of their own views.

People are just weird. It's not a campaign slogan. It's the truth.

So any child in one of those Other Cultures already has an understanding of Reality that all of us Westerners are incapable of achieving because we grew up in the absence of Wisdom Traditions.  It kind of reminds me of the Krell in whatever film it was.  (Forbidden planet?)

I have to accept that it is true, since he has told me that he has an apprehension of Reality, but that it could not explained to me, because that’s not how those apprehensions work.  Hopefully the Noema mag will provide further input, when I can get time to read it.
