What is postmodernism?

[A.W. Bowman]

LOLOL pelathais - I love it! Truly I do!

Back in the 50's and 60's I was a wannabee philosopher. The references you used in your posts brought back fond memories of personal and formal studies and discussions that transported me into the realms of "Dimension X" and "One Step Beyond" (for those of you who might remember these old radio programs). Later in the 60's,while trying to develop a more comprehensive world view, I worked at integrating the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and the two "theories" of relativity, and other such concepts into a coherent scheme. In truth, those were fun days. But, alas, I had to allow those days to give way to the more concrete necessities of earning a living. I never became good enough to support myself (or a family) following after esoteric pursuits. So, I stuck my head up and beyond the clouds and became a systems engineer with a specialty in space flight operations.

Now, in my later years, I am simply a disciple of Jesus Christ, sharing some of what it is that I think I know about a few elements of spiritual knowledge. I guess I have come full circle, but my original starting point has also shifted in time, space and in substance, so now I am again left in a void, searching again for that one point of light that might bring understanding.

In my youth I despised the book of Ecclesiastes - now, it is one of my favorites.

Again, pel, thank you. I really enjoyed that trip back into time - and, yes, I still apply some of the principles and methodologies I learned back then (plus a few new ones) to my studies today. The difference between then and now? Today I attempt to apply more wisdom and less enthusiasm in conducting, and sharing, my studies than I exercised in my youth. History will determine which approach produced the best results.
