Article-I.D.: tekecs.814 Posted: Mon Apr 11 10:16:58 1983 Received: Tue Apr 19 01:43:48 1983 References: sdccsu3.478 ~~~ beginning of quote ~~~ To the searchers after metaphysical meaning, I address the following definition: 'Truth': That which is non-Zero. -- Gumby the Meddler (Eric J. Wilner, sdcsvax!sdccsu3!ee163cz) ~~~ end of quote ~~~ Interesting. Where did you get that? Here's what I have as a followup (no explanation or reason): Truth: (1) That which is NOTHING. (2) That which is EVERYTHING. Reality: (1) That which is a lie (not TRUTH, see truth). (2) That which is SOME-THING (not NOTHING, not EVERYTHING). Everything that I just said is a lie. There is only one truth, and there are many truths. I am serious, and I am not. Everything I say is significant, except when it's not. As a followup to my followup (and to answer some other questions) a few more quick definitions: God: see TRUTH. Mind: see REALITY. Self: see GOD. Randal L.
