It occurs to me that a few people on this forum are not familiar with E-Prime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime)..which is a pity as
It seems likely that the principal software used in the human brain consists of words, metaphors, disguised metaphors, and linguistic structures in general. The Sapir-Whorf-Korzybski Hypothesis, in anthropology, holds that a change in language can alter our perception of the cosmos. A revision of language structure, in particular, can alter the brain as dramatically as a psychedelic. In our metaphor, if we change the software, the computer operates in a new way.

My sons name was chosen to honour both R.A.Wilson whom 'I' had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with, and Aleister Crowley. What a combo, R.A.W are my son's initials. E-Prime, is fine, if you've the time, to look at the world through eye's not your own but misted. We are all one ,but it is so much less fun, to screw when you're really wanking....

But sure, the 'is' of identity should be apparent to any whom look at it, unfortunatley...most people don't seem to see beyond a Tavistock nirvana and run nilly-willy about navel gazing.
