It is way to easy to get caught up in a nihilistic thought experiment that looses it's connection with what's relevant.

Unfortunately...that which is represented as being direct and personal...often does not ring true to me...and does not seem to be connected with what's relevant...leaving me with my nihilistic thought experiments and other nepharious devices such as the masturbation of the mind. I suspect that a lot of "direct and personal" experiences involve deceptive and malevolent entities. So I'll pass on most of that. Oh wretched man that I am. I really don't enjoy doing this. So why do I do it? Maybe it's sort of like the guy who hits his head against a brick wall...because it feels so good when he stops! Maybe I should stop. Maybe I will.
Namaste
