Lewis - First - ( Is there anything beyond thoughts ? ).

[Guest guest]

I wanted to re-address " Is there

anything beyond thoughts ? " .

 

But, then, I got afraid that it might

result into a potentially long and in

" my POV " , " nonsense dressed up a great

philosophy " from Lewis. Which, then,

might result into a response from ac,

then Lewis and after going through the

series of about 10-15 messages, it will

end where it started.

 

So, I was not sure, if I should reply.

 

In my POV, Lewis either has a Great

addiction to " keep talking " , " keep

debating " . He seems to 'simply want' to

keep ...the talk going. What is being

talked and why seems to matter much

less but if just the talk keeps going

the main objectives seems to be

fulfilled.

 

Probably, this current 'habit',

'addiction' is the result of 'idle'

time that he mentions and perhaps,

spiritual lists are currently his

favorite ...PASSTIME.

 

I am NOT criticizing this habit or

behavior. I surely know many people

who are this way and are greatly

comfortable and enjoy being this way.

In fact, their discomfort comes when

they are ... " Not talking " . Talking for

them seems natural. An effortless

relief - what gets talked is of very

little significance, ...lie, truth,

fantasy, philosophy ...keep talking,

that's all.

 

However, I tend to take talk as

honest, truthful expression or honest,

truthful, sincere inquiry.

 

 

Again, I am NOT claiming that the

second approach is better or superior.

I have ran into problem enough number

of times to know that it is quite

....foolish and hazardous to assume that

people are talking that way.

 

 

I also don't want to sound critical of

Lewis. Lewis shows great patience,

great tolerance and is very

accommodating, restrained and

respectful in his communication.

 

 

That said, I do believe that Lewis's

style of talking is quite different and

might result in frustration and

disappointment for people who think of

talk mostly as an honest, sincere way

to reach somewhere (an agreement, new

info, discovery ) and not just

to keep talking.

 

 

By replying to this message, I

fear that I might end up in self-

looping thread that can potentially

take lot of time and go nowhere.

 

With this big " sorry " , let us begin ...
