the other night on 2.2g of dxm i thought of perhaps the only statement that is false when expressed in human tongues, but true when believed with eternal faith.
"god is that which cannot be defined."
then i blacked out and my friends took me to the ER.
Sorry that you ended up in the ER...but that's a huge dose of DXM.
The first sentence reads like it was composed in a dissociative-induced haze (i.e. it contains a conviction expressed without logically coherent idea), but the statement, "God is that which cannot be defined" is a fairly common assertion, particularly in Eastern Religions. The latin word, dēfīnīre, means to limit or set bounds to, which is not possible if God is boundless.
It reminds me of the first few lines of Tao Te Ching:
The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.
is not the eternal Tao.

of all particular things.
Happy Holidays PD folks!
