[MD] meaning, awareness and understanding

[kgt83dr at yahoo.com]

Anyone who’s been here for any length of time begins to see that certain topics
recycle more than others.
  
Several current threads appear to be connected in that they ask the question
which came first?  What's much less fuzzy are the answers.  The arguments are
very definite.  Step away from the source of everything, whether God, Dynamic
Quality or Essence, and you find arguments that say meaning proceeds from
something less indefinable but no less elusive, e.g., Grace, pre-intellectual
awareness, actualized Essence (sorry Ham if I got this wrong).  The only thing
they have in common is their claim to an overarching explanation.  Or do they?
  
When I began writing this I wanted to address what I saw as different
explanations for the existence of meaning.  And then it occurred to me that the
different explanations I was seeing may not all be addressing the same thing.
  
Meaning, awareness and understanding?  They're not the same thing, are they?
  
Thinking out loud,
