<p>Somewhat, GS sees time as multi-dimensional, not sure as to set 'arrow' or linear...</p>
<p>and you're absolutely right, out of all the thinking Korzybski did in GS he forgot that people would confuse it for other things, but... maybe it was on purpose lol, when I first started studying GS I thought it had to do with speech and communication, verbal skills etc., then it started blowing my mind when I found out it was hiding a secret behind a name ;)</p>

<p>I think one aspect of G.S. is that I seem to see a distinct arrow of time in their model. Does that (time) really exist in the Model of GS?</p>

<p>I had to look up "General Semantics." (bad term kinda.. easy to confuse with other things).</p>
<p></p>
<p>It is a good point. It does look applicable here. Doesn't quite fit. Satan confused the issue, but G.S. would say it was an enhanced knowledge. Rather depends on perspective too much.</p>
<p>rather, the deeper truth would have to Satan's truth. </p>

<p>Anybody ever studied a bit of General Semantics? It's something to do with words and perceptions and how we can't see the extent of our realities because there is something that can always be perceived beyond what we understand.. I was interested in seeing that it shared a bit of the 'veil' and Cli(Klee) idea in Kabalah. Just a thought.</p>

<p>I just remembered... Pink Floyd's album "The Dark Side of the Moon" has a song on it called "Eclipse". It is a rather heavy Occult song. One should listen again to the song if anyone failed to notice that. "Sun" is the illumination of Mind.</p>
<p>one of my favorites.</p>

<p></p>
<p>occult is an old Astronomy term (Astrology actually) for hidden. Something between you and the object you are viewing that blocks the light (usually temporarily). like: an occultation will occur between star xyz for 15 minutes while asteroid TUV passes in front of the star.... stuff like that. Kinda a cool term. So... Occult is a Science word.</p>

<p>I would agree that messages or meaning are delivered in a manner that spans many levels of understanding (different audiences). I still disagree with the idea of hidden though. I am sure that we have all had experiences that delivered information at a certain level of understanding at the time of the experience, and on further review (as our understanding expanded) the same experience yielded more in-depth information over time.

I am sure that we have all had experiences that delivered information at a certain level of understanding at the time of the experience, and on further review (as our understanding expanded) the same experience yielded more in-depth information over time. The in-depth information was there for us the whole time, I don't see it as being hidden, it just required a different perception or understanding to recognize it.</p>
<p>I feel this is how information works. There is power in the understanding of information, and as with everything having an equal potential for help as harm, without an understanding of the level of responsibility needed to not harm ourselves, we tend to overlook or not recognize the information we are not prepared to handle.</p> Not a problem at all <g>…tag:theosophy.net,2014-01-31:3055387:Comment:1327592014-01-31T05:08:21.765ZJohnhttps://theosophy.net/profile/JohnEMead
<p>Not a problem at all <g>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I basically agree with you. However, we usually are dealing with words written by humans (supposedly of good intent and somewhat enlightened) and there seems to be a tradition of writing to two audiences at once. One Esoterically and another Exoterically. That is where hidden is usually found.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think Paul has left for a while to do some soul-searching (or other term), and will probably return later (I hope).</p>
