Daily Comment

I don't know if everything that can be said has been - although, if time and space are illusions, it is true.

Nonetheless, I know that on this material plane, this adventure in illusion, I haven't said everything I want to, or thought everything I need to.

Expression is a goal in itself, as is becoming open to others' thoughts and ideas.

No matter how faulty (and, again, illusory) our perceptions are, they're still the preferred and accepted medium of interpersonal communication. Less than perfect, less than complete, what else do we have?

Which reminds me of the old, pre-disco BeeGee's tune, 'Words': "It's only words, and words are all I have..." (click to play, with words)

Of course, words aren't actually the only means of communications - there are many others, some situationally more effective, few that are as reliable. Oft-times miscommunication, no matter what the media, is only that: Bad communcations.

Which is the problem with sense-based anything: Too much filtering, too much ego-based interference.
