False! There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, of them 600 million can read, and for every single one of them a mental idea forms when they see the squiggle "God", otherwise they wouldn't be able to read, and not one of those mental ideas is of the multiplication table. And yet you claim to be mystified why you are misunderstood! John K Clark Our minds reify not only our sensorial streams -- as the brain manufactures our experience of a seemless stable "reality" (thus providing animal life, so endowed with an evolutionary advantage) -- but our brains also reify the symbolic streams of spoken and written language (plus other systems, such as say peano arithmetic etc.). What we perceive as being our being is that which emerges out from our brains vast reification engine of reality. Our own reality, is, within each of us, that which our brains have produced -- in a pre-conscious, self-emergent, highly chaotic, noisy mental consensus generating process, of which we are mostly blissfully unaware of. The brain is a fascinating and fantastic reality re-manufacturing network. God emerges in each mind.... reified in the manner in which that mind-net has become "learned", and pre-consciously habituated (internally or as a result of externally injected cultural beliefs). So much of what we think we think we think, is an outcome of pre-conscious habituation. Each of our brains is an invisible wizard conjuring up our very own hi fidelity sense of being.... including in this magic trick, each of our own smug sense of ourselves. -Chris de Morsella -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
