Scott replied:
I would guess that "Johanna Climacus" was taken as a female counterpart to
Kierkegaard's use of Johann Climacus as a pseudonym (which is in turn a
reference to St. John Climacus).

C'mon guys. Is this some kind of trivia contest for philosophy geeks or
what?Do you have really have something to say about that amazing trip (and
its relationship to the MOQ) or are you just trying to create the impression
that you do?
Doesn't it remind you of the peyote scene in Lila?
Doesn't it remind you of the time you tripped?
Do you suppose there were SOME who know the difference between biological
pleasure and mystical experience, as this author seems to? How many hippies
really saw that difference? Do you?
Can the MOQ be understood by one who never had such an experience? Its where
metaphysics and actual experience meet, no?
Yea, I'm egging you on. The posts are thin these days and I need something
to read. ;-) But seriously, I'd like to see some posts on the topic. Surely
someone has some thoughts?
