195212 2003-11-30 05:39:00 Yo Beet. A brief explanation. As you know, there can be two or three conversations going on in a thread. Tom posted asking if we are the sum of our thoughts and ideas?

This idea was originally developed by a French philosopher, Rene Descartes, in the 17th Century. He said:

"I think, therefore I am"

Descartes ideas are often referred to as "Cartesian" as in Cartesian Dualism.

I freely confess Tom lost me with the "realm of parts" post although I think he is saying you cannot ever know another person or what makes them who they are.

Anyway, the "artesian" is a pun on Cartesian. Monty Python had a famous song about philosophers. Lourdes is famous for its healing holy waters.

Finally, I have to agree with Tom that inner peace would either be illusory, or represent the cessation of thought. Without conflicting emotions, ideas, physical reactions, we would be automata. Incidentally this is how Descartes regarded animals.

We haven't actually defined inner peace. I think the best we can hope for as fragile human beings, is a sense of balance and fulfillment. That would be close enough to inner peace for me.

195214 2003-11-30 06:24:00 I hope you aren't drowning in Artesian water. This would tend to indicate that underground water is seeping in to your place.

Hang on a minute I'll chuck you a lifebuoy ( not the soap ) :-)
