Frankly Solid, I found your use of "oversight" to describe your erroneous attribution to Voltaire to be somewhat pleading. Jeepers. I knew the quote, used the quote and missed the name of the dead guy who said it and still you analize why. Sometimes I am in a hurry, I am a busy guy, so it goes. No pleading, my knees are not dirty. Your philosophical discomposure seemed in such sharp contrast to the moralistic and lecturing tone of your post that "oversight" seemed rather inappropriate. More projection on your end and that makes perception. I do not intend to lecture or moralize. That is what and how you read it from apparently a defensive posture which makes perfect sense based upon the premise of your thread. If you re read my posts with an open mind you may sense a different meaning, that IS my intention. I haven't listened to a lot of Pink Floyd. What do you recommend? That you have a party and invite over friends or acquaintances. Let your hair down, have a drink or two to loosen up the critic. Play some upbeat fun music that you might not otherwise listen to. Relax the intellectual part of your mind enjoy the moment no matter how it goes. Drink in the ecstasy of just being alive in a moment without racing forward or backward in mental time to figure it out or compare it to anything. Love and accept your self exactly as you are, you are perfect, we just don't always get to drink of our own divine aspect because we tend to get stuck in a take of our self that is usually steeped in some form of negativity. Deal with that and accept your self anyway. You may just glimpse moments of real joy and happiness. Those are attributes of the bliss of real being. Here and there a glimpse, a moment of clarity without judgement or a search for meaning and in time more and more clarity and peace while being emerges into awareness. Yeah, it is work. But oh what you'll see with a proper intention. Some of the things PFloyd describe- without the need for hallucinogens. You are very sharp and very intelligent. You are impressive in that you question God's reality vs. present views already here before you were born onto the stage. You are right. God is not anthropomorphic but can appear as such and does have real presence. That needs to be experienced. You have already, many times. Moments of presence, peace, joy, knowing, acceptance. Remeber, Paul was a zealot against Christians before his encounter on the road...look what happened to his attitude as a result of experience. And though I am Christian I am not pushing it in this example nor advocating that it is an exclusive path. That one comes to KNOW we are ONE with it all is what Jesus demonstrated. Come to that place any way that works for you and you will know as well. 'I take a bottle of wine and go to drink it among the flowers we are always three counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering Moon. When I dance my shadow dances with me. When I sing the Moon listens to me in silence. When all festivities are over the guests must depart. This sadness I do not know. For when I go my shadow goes with me and the Moon follows me.'
