Talk:2012-02-16-Life Itself

Hello Jerry, and thank you for this lesson! I had one question of a technical nature, and that is could it be that the term "allusive" was intended to be "elusive"? However subtle the difference, it seemed important enough to ask you to take a second look at the matter.

Life Itself > 3rd paragraph As your Urantia Book.. > it remains allusive (or elusive?)

allusive |əˈlo͞osiv| adjective (of a remark or reference) working by suggestion rather than explicit mention: allusive references to the body.

elusive |iˈlo͞osiv| adjective difficult to find, catch, or achieve: success will become ever more elusive. • difficult to remember or recall: the elusive thought he had had moments before.--rdavis 20:33, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

elusive it is

It's all very elusive at times as I have/retain little memory of the transmissions and have to read them anew; but that's fun too. Jerry--rdavis 23:49, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Jerry-

Thanks for clarifying! You can be sure to find a sympathetic ear in me when it comes to missing minutiae in the machine of language. With text, the closer we look, the more perfection eludes our grasp. Perhaps this is a way we are always pointed to The Source within us more than anything we can see around us.

As soon as the server comes back online after being knocked out by perhaps a storm, I will amend the record and note this exchange in the discussion page.

Gratefully,

Rob--rdavis 23:49, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
