What on earth did you edit out of THAT erudition, Catsy?!!
Name change (to protect the innocent)
I spelt "Edenic" "Edemic", grow. Totally different meaning.
I was considering posting this--but even I couldn't quite absorb a philosophical treatis on the Post-Edenic loss of experential integrity:
"Put this way, it is a substantive thesis that perceptual experiences have phenomenal content. But there is good reason to believe that they do. The basic reason has been articulated at length by Siewert (1998). It is plausible that perceptual experiences are assessable for accuracy, in virtue of their phenomenal character. Intuitively, by virtue of their phenomenal character, experiences present the world as being a certain way. My experience of a red square in front of me has a certain phenomenal character, and by virtue of this phenomenal character, the experience places a constraint on the world. The world can be such as to satisfy the constraint imposed by the phenomenal character of the experience, or such as to fail to satisfy the constraint. This is to say that the phenomenal character determines a condition of satisfaction for the experience, one that is shared by any experience with the same phenomenal character. This condition of satisfaction will be a phenomenal content."
David J. Chalmers.

"Paraclete" is the English form of the Greek "parakletos" or "comforter, advocate, intercessor." It is used in the original Greek of the New Testament and is understood to refer to the Holy Ghost.
Thank you, Wikipedia!
Catscan ---that was indeed lovely. I've tears in my eyes...But what on earth is meant by IN virtue of?!?
And does that mean that satisfaction is phenomenal, both in content and in character??
Paraclete = athletic shoes having one clete each in right and left shoe respectively.

You outlaw you Catsy.. I love that.. How bout we change her name to Catsy? LOL
Oh Catsy!!! We so love bad women!!! You are so good at keeping me on my toes, besides who else would know what a paraclete is. I was sure that would get your attention, it's always fun to throw words around and see who responds. It tell's a lot about people. You and ZZ's are such a blast to hang out with. Haystack I like that name CATSY, C A T S Y hmmmmm! Yes I like it.
I have to confess.. as soon as I saw Paraclete, I ran to Webster's Dictionary.. It said "Holy Spirit" and it warmed my heart, knowing you like I do.
