Shifting.

[wolven7]

I've notice, recently, that a lot of people have shifted out of the focus of my life. By either my fault, or theirs, or, of course, the combination of efforts, or lack of efforts. I think i'd like to fix that. Email, call, IM, etc., if you want to, and i'll do the same. If, however, you don't want to hear from me, feel free to not do any of the above and, if and when i do, tell me to go away.

In other news, my Zen& Shinto professor called me a Perennialist, the other day... Which, of course, i don't feel is completely fair, to either myself, or the doctrine of Perennialism. Perennialism holds that, no matter the differences in method, all religions, and spiritual doctrines are trying to express the same thing. That all things aim toward a greater over-all Truth. Which i kind of agree with, of course. Where i differ, really, is that i think the Point is that it springs from the same thing, which is eternity, Infinity, whatever. Ultimate Truth, according to most perennialists, is a Very Certain Thing. It is a one truth, which has definative parameters, or rather it would, if we were ever able to fully grasp it. So... Yeah.

I think that the title bugs me, more than anything, simply because it's... limiting. Omnism.

Later.

Doesn't pereniallism imply that there's one of those who's seeing it right, as well, and everyone else's view of things is myopic or off?
Omnism. I likes. I think I've heard you use that before, it just never registered.

I don't remember tht being a part of perennialism, so much as Pluralism. Another interesting set, in it's own right, and one I could almost fully follow. Like everything. Heheheh.

As to Omnism, i'm glad you like it. I think i may have said, in face to face conversation, i remember Speaking it, before, but not typing it. And yeah... The shades of connotations, in the word, and the slight irony makes it Very appealing, to me ^_^
