Dear Peter, It's wonderful having someone around now who can share the responsibility of describing essential meaning! :-) And you have done it so well!!! I suspect that the differences in how we describe this thing will benefit everyone -- those who don't understand my wording will surely benefit from yours and vise versa. >> 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 perceived 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. << Indeed. It's a matter of which voice you focus your attention upon. One of these voices is the foundation of the art of psychometry in which one "reads" the past history of an object.
