J.R., your writings are getting more and more mystical. I have asked you
before, and I must ask you again: Have you added science to your list of
useless hypotheses? You seem to be finding more and more ways to come to
conclusions while bypassing critical thinking, scientific method, and the
like. You almost seem to have the mystical expectation that "truth" will
just be known to you, and that attempts to find the truth will fail.

You sometimes seem concerned that people miss your points. I think this is
because nobody can understand what you are talking about. The above
sentences seem to be more like a religious stream-of-consciousness rather
than a discussion with someone else. You seem to be referencing implied
concepts with your words that only you seem to know about. They are not
explicitly included in your postings.

To be honest, I cannot fathom your reality where you experience direct truth
without thought, consciousness or mind. It is always interesting to read
your posts, but I have the constant feeling that I must be missing
something. Do you have a reference for your belief system, or a webpage, or
a name for the world-view you espouse?
