You have avoided the question.
What does "non referential" mean?
What about possible metaphysical and NEW philosophical interpretations of the
meaning of life?
I have evidence of a non-physical aspect of reality. So does the Catholic
Church, the Christian Science Church, and the Association for Research and
Enlightenment (A.R.E.). Are you ignoring that evidence?
I have observed that the academic community, as a social group, has
maintained a bias against any belief in a non-physical reality, even
though they have no evidence to support this belief. There are no
published papers proving that there is no reality beyond the physical.
And now I think you are starting with the premise that no such thing
exists, and therefore how can you possibly discuss it. And therefore
people that believe in such things must be deluded ??? Is that how your
thinking goes?
And yet at the same time, I'm sure you are aware that there are intelligent
and rational people like myself who believe in the existence of a
non-physical aspect of reality and claim to have seen evidence of it. How
do you reconcile that with your belief system?
Just one more question: In the Venus Project, are you tolerant, do you
respect, people who hold that the metaphysical is an important component
of life?
