Look, do you think that's news to me? I already know you're not kidding.
How could I make sense to someone who dwells in an alternative, or "second reality"? -- Seriously.
Then why do you keep pinging me?
I feel sure a_perfect_lady is perfectly sincere in saying this. And so it's probably not too helpful to suggest that the reason for "the failure to communicate" is that she is a denizen of a Second Reality — a thing she's probably never even heard of before in her life.
Perhaps it would be more helpful to say that a_perfect_lady has got the "horizontal extension" down. But she doesn't imagine there is a "vertical extension."
Science excels along the "horizontal" spatiotemporal concept. But the "vertical" involves a concept of time that is foreign to direct sense perception/observation, and thus is not accessible by scientific methods.
The "vertical extension" deals with immaterial aspects of human existence, experience — and knowing. Man has both extensions. That's because he is comprised of both matter and spirit: He has a material body; but more, he "is" spirit, psyche, mind.
Just trying to get on the same page here....
Must run for now, but will look in again later!
Thanks for the pings, dear Matchett-PI!
