You've summed it up magnificently, David.  My only reservation is that we 
should be careful about how we use "imagination".  A dream world,. like the 
Land of Oz. can be imaginative, but it's pure fantasy.  I prefer 
"intuition", because it involves intellectual deduction based on logical 
principles.

Also, logical reasoning is valid only insofar as it is applied to relational 
systems, which means we can't make logical statements about an 
undifferentiated source that transcends dimensionality (i.e., space/time 
relations)  In that sense, "truth" for man is always relative.  Any 
description of Essence, for example, is impossible because we can't 
"abstract it from experience."  But we can define it hypothetically as 
unactualized potentiality.  Or, as Cusanus theorized, "the absolute 
coincidence of all contrariety."

Since I saw no criticism or challenge in this post, can I assume that you're 
in agreement with the fundamental concept of my metaphysics?

Essentially yours,
Ham
