"Something has to be there..."

But is it a 'thought'.

For instance, a person may 'experience' an epiphany, wherein he 'sees' a connection between everything - 'The Allness of the Oneness', or contrapuntally, 'The Oneness of the Allness' kind of hooey.

Millions of words have been written and spoken about these sorts of 'mental events', but only meta-statements about such utterances can have any sense.

I'll stick with Mr. W., on this issue. ;^)

And Pascal has said, as has been pointed out recently, "The heart has its reasons that reason knows not."
