Do I get a cookie if I can guess what you mean?

Read more closely and you'll make an important correction to your interpretation of what I'm doing. I know you feel 100% that you reflected back the point i was making, but you did not. You can do this. I sort of need to see at this point that you really can pivot and start afresh. OK :) Starting a...

Yea right. "My intuition is true intuition, your intuition is false intuition". The end of philosophy. I didn't say ours was "true", but that you are failing to understand what Cleric even means by "intuition" or higher cognition. All of your responses to him are born ...

Only when the images on which we concentrate feel completely and tightly in-phase with our thinking activity, we can say that they are completely our own creation and thus they tightly reflect the thinking gestures that we perform This is what it was.
