cryptic- it's too easy and makes too much sense simply to say - yeah, I got the joke - I was yankin your chain?
I don't get that. You get some satisfaction from appearing mysterious?
Excuse me, tangent -
quoting Lash - Statistics class--over forever--June 29, 2006--the day mathematical-type things disappear from my milieu.
And the rains came down...
tension flooding away.
ok, back to arguing..
No, not mysterious intentionally. It just struck my fancy to make that observation, because so many people quote it as though they really think it could happen.
Well, gee, edgar (whom I virtually never or maybe possibly once ever disagreed with on some of these matters) some words are very small. Words could happen.
Besides,
I think some monkeys are smartish.
All Ball...
osso!! Numbers and functions and asymptotes and probabilities are evaporating fom my poor tired haid. I am so blissful.
My world will be a whirling gale of Literature and Creative Writing..... <floats away on a cloud...>
I see I've posted off course again.
Carry on, nurses.
You consider that personal?
"It's not mysterious" is personal toward you? Explain how.
Edgar spoke for himself, and I edited my post. Nevermind, Lash.

Lash, how do you propose you and I (for instance) avoid getting into personal tit-for-tats?
If this is an outcome to be desired (and my understanding was that it was, for you and I), I thought we'd achieve it by directing our comments toward the subject matter of the thread.
It appears to me that the last posts you offered here have had not much other motive but to needle me. Are we still going to avoid getting into that, or are we only going to avoid it when you feel like avoiding it?

While you're neverminding that, nevermind this.
As I see it, a true "spiritual awakening" (e.g., enlightenment) is something the beneficiary would not be aware of. Therefore, I see no point in discussing the topic.
Nature is my religion and I do get what might be called spiritual awakenings at times when I see something so exquisitely beautiful that it takes all my senses and fills them with life and light. With nature though, there is no religion in the punishment sense of the word--heaven or hell--nature isn't moral or demanding to be worshipped, it just is. That is all I need.

You seem to have a point to make in your posts here, Lash. It seems to be something about me. I love to talk about myself as much as the next person, and I'd love to engage you on whatever it is you're trying to say with your posts here - can you state it clearly?
It's really not that mysterious. I am reading the thread and responding based on my opinion of what I read, or my own experiences.
What part don't you understand?

Oh thank you, Di. I am always happy when I am the occasion of someone being spiritually awakened.
Unfortunately...sometimes it causes me to stop being spiritually awake...or "awake" at all.
