There are three forms of knowledge.
The first is intellectual knowledge, which is in fact only information and the collection of facts, and the use of these to arrive at further intellectual concepts. This is intellectualism.
Second comes the knowledge of states, which included both emotional feeling and strange states of being in which man thinks that he has perceived something supreme but cannot avail himself of it. This is emotionalism.
Third comes real knowledge, which is called the Knowledge of Reality. In this form, man can perceive what is right, what is true, beyond the boundaries of thought and sense.
Scholastics and scientists concentrate upon the first form of knowledge.
Emotionalists and experientialists use the second form.
Others use the two combined, or either one alternatively.
But the people who attain to truth are those who know how to connect themselves with the reality which lies beyond both these forms of knowledge...

Shorties
"Shorties" - a word for my about-to-be-materialised thoughts (can't think of anything better to name this)
Sometimes we can't concentrate on one thinking, yet can't not think at all too. So, ok - I've been thinking, that if I'd make a note of any allusions to the thoughts-to-be, then maybe, just maybe, I'll come back to think them over again...
-Can we call us – greedy for having too much desires?
-If you don’t have it all because you’ve hammered in your head that you can’t have it all anyway, that’s, excuse me, simply not good enough.
Nostalgia
Was reading...re-reading my svetik's dd...a nostalgic seizure...made me sad a bit...we love the past when it's gone...why is that?...Funnily enough, I am now finding that despite of my proud statements, that I have changed a lot since then, there are still so much of svetik left in me. A could just copy&paste some of my earliest entries without editing and sign up under them again with no hesitation.
Anyway…there is time for the past, but there is life in the present. And so – why don’t just live it? [*shrugs]
Strange days passing by…Sad days, days of a lot of thinking, recollecting, just reflecting…Almost everybody noticed how low the spirit around DDLand has become…Really need some sort of shake off, cyberparty or something to lift up, to let forgive, to let forget, to get happy…Life should go on, otherwise it won’t have any sense to it…
