| Posted 1/31/2003 11:03 AM (GMT -6) | | Hello ousia. I bet you have something "of substance" to contribute to this board. I don't know why Modes assumed you were gay (homoousia ) but we want to welcome you into any discussion you'd like to participate in. (Okay, that was corney...but heh).

Doc: Okay, that was really really bad. Poor ousia. This is cruel and unusual punishment for a new comer. I' m surprised our board moderator let it stand. Tom's time in purgatory just got longer.
What I'm wondering is whether how the persona ousia reveals on this board relates to other persona (hypostasis, prosopon) ousia manifests, and is, in other contexts. This question invariably leads us to reflection on how ousia relates to himself/herself ad intra, and how this ad intra[/i[ relationality is manifests in ousia's ad extra relationality.
Be forewarned ousia... not all of our threads are this deep or profound. I just don't want you to set your sites too high.

Tom: God is allowing me to consider time spent on this site in lieu of purgatory. For every joke of Doc's I read and laugh at, my time in purgatory is lessened.

Tom: What is more, can we relate meaningfully to ousia if we believe that he/she is essentially unknowable? Do his/her posts reveal his/her true nature, and should we admit that self-contradictory claims regarding ousia might sometimes be required because of the nature of Internet communication? Did ousia have to "empty" him/herself in any sense of the word of the exercise of any attribute? Hmmmm?

Doc Since its just you and me left here good buddy, I can say this: If only you would get TO KNOW ousia instead of trying to KNOW ABOUT ousia, you wouldn't be so inclined to limit ousia to the narrow confines of your temporal/spatial internet categories. You'd rather accept that ousia both is and is not manifested in the kenosis non-kenosis of his/her internet dialogue non-dialogue. And when I say all this, I'm NOT claiming anything ABOUT ousia, but just reflecting the great tradition of knowing ousia.
You know I know you know.
