		<description><![CDATA[There are two kinds of knowing &#8211; experience and understanding &#8211; and the confusion between them is the cause of all sorts of trouble for any thinking person. Experience is the knowing of things. It appears to our senses simply as what is there  without us doing anything. It is immediately and directly present to awareness with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=evolutionaryphilosophy.com&amp;blog=6391849&amp;post=2157&amp;subd=evolutionaryphilosophy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

At least that is what Ralph Waldo Emerson learned from Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Emerson used the term the Over-Soul to express this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=evolutionaryphilosophy.com&amp;blog=6391849&amp;post=1964&amp;subd=evolutionaryphilosophy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
