FM>  DO> Then again,  "Why NOT you?"

FM>         That's ONE way to handle it.  Declare a question that points
FM> to the limitations of Man one that has no meaning.  If you're
FM> satisfied with that, you have certainly solved a problem with,
FM> perhaps, flawless logic.  But ARE you satisfied?  Perhaps so.  The

It is wise to keep in mind that you may be more important to you than 
you are to the universe as a whole.  Also, I would ask, is there really 
any ME to attach all this importance to?

FM> only thing I can assure you is  (and Marx knew this, too) that no
FM> matter how many times the question is prohibited as "not scientific"
FM> Man will continue to ask it because it is meaningful in, if  nothing
FM> else, showing him his limitations as a PARTICIPANT in Being (the
FM> Shaft), not OUTSIDE of it on an Archimedean point so that he can
FM> OBSERVE it as a totality and pronounce scientific measurements. I
FM> grant you that proud man doesn't often LIKE that truth.

FM>         That question did NOT PROVIDE me with a set of propositions
FM> to be conveyed from a mountaintop to my fellow man.  As a matter of
FM> fact the voice that Moses heard calling him to lead his people to
FM> freedom was, as whoever had the experience expressed it, BEYOND the
FM> world without even a proper name.

FM>         I can hear your laughter echoing down the corridors.

Maybe you can, maybe it's the echo of your own laughter at realizing 
just who the joke is on.
