Dear Scott, >From my experiences with essential meaning, when one percieves essential meaning, there is no real *core* to is as there where. Essential meaning reflects the totality of the thing that is being percieved. As such, you have the perception of dimension, colour, history, and so forth permeating that essential meaning. In other words, essential meaning seems to consist of a near infinite set of datum that, when it is percieved as a whole, can only be done so intuitivly with the right side of the brain. What Rawn calls a voice or a personality of essential meaning, is more akin to a finite set of datum that is taken from the totality of essential meaning. Generally speaking, this *voice* is something that is percieved logically with the left side of the brain. Moreover, there are a number of voices that can be derived from essential meaning. Some of which speak louder than others. Love and Live well, Peter Reist
