henceforth a normal human being?

"In many primitive mythologies God is the sun (the presever of life). Ever notice how the ankh resembles both a man and a cross? I suspect that the primitive mind was mostly concerned with survival. In primitive tribes fear of not surviving was assuaged by shamans who taught certian rituals and rites as effective intercessors with the spirits of environmental food supplies. This is not to say that mythology amounts to lies, ; it is to say that mythology included the questions and answers about survival that were available at the time.
These questions and answers evolved into religions. The shaman became the priest who answered in cumulative tenets of belief. When the spirits of environmental objects no longer spoke to us, God did, said the Church. See Julian Jaynes on what happened when God no longer spoke to patriachs and prophets.
Christianity, for me has importance, not in its historical debates, schisms and bloodshed, but in seeing the teachings of Jesus as going contrary to egocentic, individualistic or separatist tendencies we all seem to have."

i borrowed the quote in coming down from a pedestal one may perhaps have climbed on.
does that compensate for ongoing discomfort where nothing can be known?

cannot or must not? ~~~~ but thanks, kind migrant worker.


all paradigms thoroughly removed before shifting.

Re: The New Phrenology

"Dark, Satanic mills!" Burns exclaimed, noting conditions of factory workers during the acceleration of the Industrial Revolution. Yet few of us, looking back at the human costs of production would relinquish the goods out of empathy for the plight of those who produced them. Few did so back then. Few would do so now. Those of us who are not particularly pecuniarily endowed will shop at Wal*Mart even upon learning how manufacturings' invasion of China is done under human conditions quite like those Burns (and Blake) found apalling.
Lakoff's "The Political Mind" examines current American politics from an ethical point of view and looks to cognitive science to tell us why we think the way we do--as if knowing how we think will somehow prompt us to favor empathy over expediency.
Human brains have developed to the point of allowing us to have options for what we think and do. Heaven and utopia allow no such options. Perhaps the thought of these could move us into acting more humanely toward each other; but, so long as we have options, the social conditions we describe as good will continue to coexist with and interact with those we descrbe as evil.
We get what we get because of majority rule and , wanting what we get and the rewards of preoducing what we want.

danke.

Did you know...

... that today is the birthday of the Nannarrup Hoffmani? In
2002, scientists announced the discovery of a new species in
New York City's Central Park, an 82-legged centipede. The
species is the first new species to be discovered in Central
Park in more than a century. It is, possibly, the smallest
known species of centipede. Um... happy birthday?

Today's Inspirational Quote:

"Although there may be nothing new under the sun, what is old
is new to us and so rich and astonishing that we never tire of
it. If we do tire of it, if we lose our curiosity, we have
lost something of infinite value, because to a high degree it
is curiosity that gives meaning and savour to life."

-- Robertson Davies
