[MD] is-ness

[Ron Kulp]

Ron,

    Maybe if Ham had some more poetry in his life, he could make his
endeavor sound as beautiful as you did here.  But he avoids this "making
sense" stuff to what he subjects as mere poetry which is a lower form of
intellectual species.  The heart could add some color as you did below
and actually make his effort not only more understandable but more
alive.


SA,
Perhaps Ham has been fortunate enough to lead a relatively high quality
life. He does not see experience as anything special, I think the
experience of living is mystical. I had a long time to contemplate
nothing-ness,
I used to obsess on thoughts of suicide. When one gets to a point where
all
is meaningless and pain and thoughts of the extinguishment of self is
contemplated you address a central value and realize you have a choice,
to be or not to be. Once you make that choice it becomes a whole nother
ball game.

At least it was for my own experience. That was the day I became a "free
agent" .
