> Hello Glenn, An overdue reply to this.
Not at all, Sam! Your reply has had many beneficial effects:
-- Asking my opinion by name made me feel good, and welcome.
-- It helped me to know if my delurking post was a taken as
some shot over the bow, or as a pebble dropped into an abyss.
-- It made me buy and start on Lila, our admission ticket.
Reaching page 110 today, I wonder if anyone felt bad when,
at page 100, Phaedrus, our hero truth seeker, strategizes,
"He'd better not tell her he'd already had breakfast"?
I would go into this more: It resonates on my home front.
Your essay on the possibility of unmediated experience,
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/elizaphanian/unmediated.htm
is the very topic I hope to contribute and explore here.
To what extent you explored my web site, you would know
that I had a psychosis in 1976, arising, in my opinion,
from a moment of direct gnosis: an unmediated experience
that exceeded my capacity then to tolerate, understand or
distribute such non-intuitive(*), a priori(*) knowledge.
(*)A layman with an Internet acquaintance to philosophy,
I have to remind myself why I used these terms, by citing
this one of several interlinked philosophy expositions:
http://www.friesian.com/immedi-1.htm
Non-Intuitive Immediate Knowledge
To defend my insights from a totalizing psychologizing
perspective, I must demonstrate that they convey things
I could not conceive of from my then naivete, such as
foreknowledge or correctly positioned mythic knowledge.
These evidences would be signs of transcendent idealism:
tapping non-analytic propositions, or truths, beyond my
ability to generate them by my experience, and therefore
evidence of God, or at least, some QM sharing mechanism.
Yours truly,
Glenn Scheper
