    Ugh, I hate Plato's Theory of Forms... IMO: its responsible for more ignorance (from outright abuse to mildly annoying pseudo-intellectualism) than any other idea in human history.

      It is useful when taken as a model - I can generally identify a "chair" because I have a mental concept of "chair" that is not related to any specific chair.

      When taken as a description of literal reality - there is an ideal form of "chair-ness" somewhere out in Lala Land - it leads to absurdity.
      Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        Re: THE RANT THREAD!

        This is a rant,abbreviation's for something with no definition of what they mean. There are some internet ones I know,but to assume everyone knows what Acdljg means(Made up BTW) is kinda hard to deal with. I might suggest in the main site section a LIST of internet and I guess pagan terms that show up with just letters. I have had to do Google searches a lot for this,please define or spell out what you mean..

        This is an example,and not even sure it is a pagan one.

          SEO = search engine optimization.

          It's tricks to make your website turn up on the first page of Google results.

          One of them is: splatter your web address everywhere possible, which is why (I think) people aren't allowed to post links here until they prove they're real people, and not SEO monkeys.

              For all intents and purposes SEO = spambot. If you see it then odds are it has a short life expectency. UICubic still has a post because I have a test I want to run later.
              life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

              "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                  Three out of every seven Mormons are actually spambots. I know this is true because I heard it on Rush Limbaugh.

                      You'll like the way the word "Squibs" is starting to appear on the net and be used. I've seen it more on facebook in some usages but never really sure if it's being used in the Harry Potter aspect of a non-magical wizard born into a magical family or as a fuse / explosive. Of course on the pagan sites one never encounters a non-magical wizard / witch / etc they all descend from blood lines or are natural witches.

                        So people are indulging in more nuanced delusions of grandeur on the net? Also, lineaged/natural practitioners have been more than a little over hyped by pop culture. There's nothing inherently wrong with choosing a path instead of being destined for it.
