Dear Cogitator,
Your piece of writing was very interesting to say the least. All the theory you have described rings true in many cases. You seem to suggest everyone must be more truthful and seek out the truth. I agree with you. I also liked the section in your piece of writing where you explained main groups in society don't accept new ideas into their group. I agree with you entirely on this. Main groups in society tend to have norms that are accepted as part of the group, however this leaves them ignorant and inflexible to change. It also leaves them open to make mistakes because of their narrow minded behavior. Your piece of writing suggests we should seek out the truth, which i find mainstream society tends to bend for its own uses and satisfaction. I am a loner and an individual. Your piece of writing has sure struck the right chords for me. Your piece of writing is well written, the vocabulary is excellent. You know exactly what your talking about. Overall a brilliant piece of writing. Well done!
Kind Regards,
Cory4

Comment from Norbanus
What a powerful idea you've expressed here:
'groups that have something in common very seldom allow new thoughts'
As someone once said 'It's really hard, for a person to gather new information, if they already know everything at the start.'
Nicely shown.

Comment from juliaSjames
"Truth will eventually enter. Let it happen."
I love these words. Time after time, long after I've puzzled over something, the meaning will come to me; perhaps when I'm brushing my teeth!
In my opinion, this is one of your clearest and most impacting writes, John.
Thought provoking of course. That's a given. But written with sincerity and confidence.
I hope it makes a difference and encourages readers to probe more deeply into their inner space. To this end, you might wish to add a reading list and/or pertinent websites to your author notes.

I am thinking of making this the introduction to a collection of essays in a future book. I have learned much from you and others about clarifying my message. Thanks for the participation and valuable comments...John
Comment from rama devi
Bravo for this outstanding, lucid essay on important and relevant spiritual perspectives and insights. I resonate with the way you think, my friend!
This essay is well organized, smoothly paved and with smooth transitions from one paragraph to the next.
Superbly articulate voicing, with many memorable and meaningful lines. My favorites:
Cognition means to KNOW and recognition means to know again.
Every commonality we recognize in others must be contained within ourselves or else we couldn't re-cognize it.
We have to use reflection to find our cognition.
We create our universe as our conscious knowledge allows. If we prevent new understanding to enter our mind, no progress will be made.
If we recognize evil, we are echoing evil.
To me, this metaphysical universe is the software I call the Grand Operating Design. The physical world (hardware) and the spiritual world (software) must coexist for us to recognize our universe.
Grand
Operating
Design
What a great name for G.O.D.!
Brilliantly articulated:
Our brain's left hemisphere is digital and identifies particles as forms. The right hemisphere interprets waves as emotion and is where Agape and compassion reside. If we do not use both sides to contemplate truth, we will fall short of understanding.
Nicely voiced:
If we recognize this to be true, it is the Nirvana of Buddhism, The Heaven of Christianity, the Paradise of Islam and the Peace of Mind all people want.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope many read it and ponder...
Love,

Thanks again. From the feedback I get, it is not yet simple enough for many, but it definitely has impact. Agape will live...John

Big message, and one that is very much true. All the pieces are there and always have been. Now, it's just a matter of both brains and all the parts to work together. Thanks for the pleasure of another great read. :-)

Comment from wordsmatter2me
I learned a lot from your short study. One message I will remember is what you write about the word Evil spelled backwards is live. I have read the books of Dr. Dyer and seen the movie Star wars yet your message is so powerful and so simple told in looking for our inward heaven.

Thank you so much for your review. You will find my portfolio has many essays. This one will probably wind up as the intro to a book of essays...John
Comment from Njorgensen
I recognize the truth and strength of this message. The power it uses to explain something so abstract and concrete
serves to inspire introspection, hopefully for all who read it. Whether the reader agrees with your words or not, it cannot be denied that it is insightful and well-written.
