LMNO...that's what I was trying to express. Also was trying to impart my reverence for those perceptions, however limited.

terrain big personality, me little personality encapsulated in terrain.

...therefore, litte personality cannot describe terrain.

So, stop describing, and start creating.

I agree. Describing the territory means applying labels to bits of the territory "That IS a tree" "That IS a creek" etc. Once we humans decide what something IS it becomes much more difficult to consider that thing as possibly something else.

So, describing the terrain while only seeing it from the 'little personality', means that we might be applying the incorrect labels. Applying the incorrect labels, means we might have a harder time changing our minds about the territory later.

I read the prison awhile back.

Preferred the golden sphere idea if you can't tell.

Been trying to steer my ship away from cynicism and towards reverence/divinity.
Not that they are mutually exclusive or anything. (look at tgrr for christs sake)
Found out my system can only handle just so much bile is all.

""...therefore, litte personality cannot describe terrain."" May it strive to embody it within your framework?

Worshippers becoming aspects of that which they worship.
Guess I'm trying to create myself.

Solution: Close inspection and reflection of terrain. Continual worship? (I just know someones gonna hate my terms)

True.

I've seen some react to it cynically though.

I said "precludes" but I really should have said (and meant) whatever the best word is for "necessarily comes before" or "preludes" or whatever. I'm slightly drunk, no excuse.

Requires?

In systematics, no sense can be made until the species are given names, are properly described. Only then do patterns become clear.

Bile is optional. Some people choose to use it, some people choose not to use it. I think for me, the GSP and the BIP are the same, except in how the individual chooses to perceive them. If they see themselves as a prisoner, then they're playing in the BIP, if they see themselves as a passenger then they're playing with the GSP. Either way they're limited in their perception and their experience...

Not sure where you're going with that.

Continual inspection and reflection of what we perceive as the terrain maybe?
