"...as I have mentioned before to Bill.."

well, yes...a time or two.

"...the apparent solidity of things.."?? as opposed to the non-apparent realms you have mentioned a few times? ;>)

I am quite content with whatever 'higher qualities' I have being recognized and appreciated, no matter what their ultimate being-ness might consist of. I just see no purpose in positing realms that are hard to pin down, when we can, like Dr. Samuel Johnson, just kick this realm to verify it. ☺

"the most elevated adherents of many philosophies..... assert..." appeal to authority?

Many of them now assert just the opposite. *shrug*
