>Dear Mr. Tim Rohrer:

>I have read and learned much from your web pages. Since you summarize
>of the content as well as analyze it, I who have only time for glosses
>of great authors can list a few more names that I am aquainted with.
>
>I'd know I read all your web pages if there weren't a get-rich artist
>sharing your name. Scares me no recent dates, you might not be there.
>Anyway, you being a philosopher, teacher, author, up on metaphors and
>paradox, I have a deal for you: The grail on a silver platter, no cost!
>
>
>Here are three quotes of yours relevant to what I will tell:
>
>I want to consider just one of Heraclitus' many paradoxes. That is the character 
>of the logos, which Heraclitus simultaneously asserts is common to all humankind 
>and ignored by most of us.

>Instead, what he does claim is that his art is "an ancient one, but like those

>attention.

>I thought I might find on the web some tool or method for discovering and
>proving the fit of any metaphor, but it seems to be yet a young art, not
>computable at the moment. But I have been working years on one deep topic.
>If you could take it up or pass it along to someone, I'd appreciate that.
>
>The first, simple issue is that I have a set of referents sufficient to
>explain the etiology and paradox of the Christ type. But I'm no author.
>The gist of the matter is that the word of god is a reflexive speech act.

>Please read it here, just 18 Kb, 3200 words:

>The paradox of Heraclitus logos will be clear upon knowing the referents.
>What still remains deep after 'connaitre' is the apeirion/aletheia/eidos.
>This is the 'savoir' or the gnosis of transcendental truth, to be lived.
>You will see that my account of some insights point out such an apeiron.
