Kosta: How do you know what is "spirit" or what is "divine"?

D-fendr: How do you know when I say "love" you and I think of the same thing?

That's a cop out answer if I ever saw one. Your answer, which is also something I asked you, doesn't address my question how do you know what is spirit or divine.

I thought it a good answer because it is a good question.

If you and I are talking about love, how could we know if we are talking about the same thing?

I suppose we could throw up our hands and say: “it’s possible we’re talking about two completely different things, so let’s shut up about it.”

We could say: “well, since it could be two different things we’re talking about, whatever it is can’t really be at all.”

But if we didn’t choose either of those, and we still wanted to know whether when I say “love” you and I think of the same thing, what else could we do?
