Subject: RE: BS: Is!!!! From: Bunnahabhain Date: 12 Sep 05 - 04:58 PM "Is", under the folk process has been misheard and transcribed from the proto-indo-european word "kangaroo", as can clearly be seen in the 47th verse of the long and obscure ballard, "the sailor who is given permission to marry his lass, she doesn't die in childbirth and he isn't called away to war on the way to church"... |

Subject: RE: BS: Is!!!! From: Amos Date: 12 Sep 05 - 05:05 PM Here comes a schism On this side "Ism" ALways wild and making free On that side, Being, Who say its freeing, To give up Is and simply Be. It's quite confusing They both want choosing And their assertions are profound To find the _best_ path, Wheter East or West path Simply spins your head around! IS or BE, Be ir Is, Makes my brain cells start to fizz HE who is not busy Being May just be an Issy being! Which of these is truly freeing? Which is freely True? Be or Is, Is or Be, Some say it's all one to me, IF your life is loud and whizzing, You seem apt to prefer Ising But if your soul just loves pure Seeing You might like to go for Being A |
Subject: RE: BS: Is!!!! From: GUEST,Jon Date: 12 Sep 05 - 05:12 PM Go ahead. Argue about it. Argue about Is or It, LH? If you must insist on starting these controversial threads, you should at least make it clear what it is or what it isn't you are waffling on about. |
Subject: RE: BS: Is!!!! From: Bill D Date: 12 Sep 05 - 05:13 PM The Higher Pantheism in a Nutshell" Algernon Charles Swinburn One, who is not, we see; but one, whom we see not, is; Surely this is not that; but that is assuredly this. What, and wherefore, and whence? for under is over and under; If thunder could be without lightning, lightning could be without thunder. Doubt is faith in the main; but faith, on the whole, is doubt; We cannot believe by proof; but could we believe without? Why, and whither, and how? for barley and rye are not clover; Neither are straight lines curves; yet over is under and over. Two and two may be four; but four and four are not eight; Fate and God may be twain; but God is the same as fate. Ask a man what he thinks, and get from a man what he feels; God, once caught in the fact, shows you a fair pair of heels. Body and spirit are twins; God only knows which is which; The soul squats down in the flesh, like a tinker drunk in a ditch. More is the whole than a part; but half is more than the whole; Clearly, the soul is the body; but is not the body the soul? One and two are not one; but one and nothing is two; Truth can hardly be false, if falsehood cannot be true. Once the mastodon was; pterodactyls were common as cocks; Then the mammoth was God; now is He a prize ox. Parallels all things are; yet many of these are askew; You are certainly I; but certainly I am not you. Springs the rock from the plain, shoots the stream from the rock; Cocks exist for the hen; but hens exist for the cock. God, whom we see not, is; and God, who is not, we see; Fiddle, we know, is diddle, and diddle, we take it, is dee. |

Subject: RE: BS: Is!!!! From: Wesley S Date: 12 Sep 05 - 05:19 PM I've heard from an excellent source that "The Great I Am" has shortened His name to "Is" for convenience. |
Subject: RE: BS: Is!!!! From: Bill D Date: 12 Sep 05 - 05:32 PM I thought IS and WAS added up to "HAS BEEN"...but since the whole is-ness and was-ness has become a matter of busi-ness, I am bemused by the whole thing. |
