Ah, yes. Not that I would dream of continuing a philosophic discussion, but is not that which is perceived to be truly truth a matter of faith (faith that it is truly true, not a specified faith)?
For - how do you establish a truth is true? Even solids are full of air, after all. Though we may start each day afresh it is with an acceptance of existing language, clothes, diet etc. Of course it may be that none of that is true.....

Is it possible to live in this world without a belief - not change beliefs, not substitute one belief for another, but be entirely free from all beliefs, so that one meets life anew each minute? This, after all, is the truth: to have the capacity of meeting everything anew, from moment to moment, without the conditioning reaction of the past, so that there is not the cumulative effect which acts as a barrier between oneself and that which is. http://kfa.org/teachings_fear.htm "... meets life anew each minute?" i do that ;o) that happens a lot as you grow older... Tim: Yeah, I've started to notice it in me, too. :-) So the ideal is that people should be "stateless"? Like a browser? :-) Not to start a philosophical discussion, but I'd submit that "truth" has the capacity to outlast any cumulative effect of conditioning, if it is truly truth; and that the ideal human condition is not so much to be free of beliefs as to examine beliefs, lay aside those that are false, and keep those that are good. Look at all the energy we expend trying to overcome the shortfall of stateless browsers...without some sort of continuity, all we can do is present information. I'd like to have a long one-on-one conversation with Krishnamurti. :-) Tim ___________________________ Tim Furry Web Developer Foulston Siefkin LLP 316.291.9712 ____ .
