How many examples of this are known to the Reader?

Please reply with your experiences of this theme as you've witnessed it.


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid

Prehaps RP,we could all pretend not to catch on to this little aside,and take on a "word".

Consider CHAOS! Consider
How
Actual
Order
Sustains.=Chaos,within this concept,word,universal law and order
are sustained! Is it then Chaos,or order that rules?




regards michael.


Humilty,coupled with boldness,surprises truth to
reveal herself?

Hey Michael!
I like the way you did that. Clearly, you undestand intuitively or have read the book (Maybe both?)

Thanks
