Q. Are there aspects of life that we cannot perceive?
John Foster 1/15/01
A. Not aspects of our lives... but
aspects of the life of the universe certainly. Our lives are made up of
our conscious & sub-conscious perceptions. A sub-conscious perception is
when another part part of the self , other than the conscious mind (ie:the
body or the soul), percieves something. If no part of us percieves it ,
it is not part of our life. There are things we can't percieve that are
beyond our experience though & that realm of existence is still legitimate,
though not part of our own.
It's kind of like "if the tree fall in the forest & no one is there
to hear it, does it make a sound" idea. I don't think the tree does
make a sound if nothing hears it. Sound is two parts, one part transmission
of impulse, the other part reception of impulse. If the impulse is not recieved
it's not sound. POTENTIAL for sound existed, but not actual sound.
I want to know about your religious beliefs.

Glittering, severe frost is illuminating.
Asking what it is,
The body is cut in half.
Which line is most important?
Nine bows." -Ansho
