"spiritual" as the stuff we can conceptualise, above and beyond physical reality... and also as an aspiration towards the ideal - What a great illustration!

It is so perfect, it glows golden.<br /><br />This is numinous, because it is perfect. I dont know if other beings can visulise a perfect triangle, i think its a human thing to do.<br /><br />Now, when it comes time to draw the "perfect triangle" we get out our straight edge ruler, pencil, little plastic protactor, and draw happily away.<br /><br />Now it might look perfect, but i can assure you it isnt. The sides will always be a little longer and different to each other, the angles will be plus or minus 60 degrees. The triangle's perfection is dependent upon the accuracy of the measurements made. It is a human creation, imperfect. We can visualise it perfectly, but we CANNOT describe it, on paper, perfectly.<br /><br />That we can at least think of, and aim for, perfection, in geometry, is a spiritual thing.stuart mawbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666404095446453825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253824019426659573.post-3753953777645624822012-11-20T19:33:51.742+11:002012-11-20T19:33:51.742+11:00Hey, Sam!

And in understanding that interconnectedness we can learn to understand and then love our fellow man (nod to the J man). I agree that questions on meaning and significance are still a profound part of being human but I tend to gravitate towards the celebration and experience of being human. I try not to get too wrapped up on the questions (even though that is the focus of my current posts) and focus more on this mind-blowing experience of simply being. <br /><br />Welcome back.<br />~Sam M.~Eruessohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685225014024766175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253824019426659573.post-84754273659012326632012-11-19T20:21:54.615+11:002012-11-19T20:21:54.615+11:00DOUG!!!!

Much as I know the identity and origins of that "something" are up for debate - I can't shake the feeling that it is important.<br />Thanks for adding your thoughts! xxKerry Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051264598690393719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253824019426659573.post-60896549406188053822012-11-19T20:14:41.961+11:002012-11-19T20:14:41.961+11:00I'm still here and have been wondering what wa...I'm still here and have been wondering what was up with you.<br /><br />You ask a difficult question. It is hard for me to answer because I was raised in an very intense form of religious belief. There seems to be no way to totally free myself from the impact that had/has on my psyche.<br /><br />If you want to speak of my personal intuition, it just seems that as I have lived my life I have felt an awareness of internal pointers to the idea that life is not purposeless but has meaning and teleology, that it is not haphazard and accidental. This would be hard for me to explain, and may even be totally psychological.<br /><br />I have a deep sense of conviction that there is an "ultimate reality" that is probably beyond description and even full comprehension at this point in my existence. At the very least, I think we are all small specks of intelligence in what seems to be an enormously larger and more intelligent thought.<br />Doug Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027574195522869708noreply@blogger.com
