Hey Rocky, watch me pull an autobiography out of my hat...
Again?
Nothin' up my sleeve....
I shall now close my eyes, stop my ears, withdraw all my senses, I shall
even efface from my thinking all images of corporeal things; or since that
can hardly be done, I shall at least view them as empty and false. In this
manner, holding converse only with myself and closely examining my nature, I
shall endeavor to obtain, little by little, better and more familiar
knowledge of myself. I am a thinking thing, i.e. a thing that doubts,
affirms, denies, knows some few things, is ignorant of many, that loves, that
hates, that wills, that refuses, that images also and senses. For as I
before remarked, although the things which I sense or image are perhaps,
apart from me, nothing at all, I am nevertheless certain that those ways of
thinking, which I call sensings and imagings, in so far as they are no more
than ways of thinking, pertain to me. In those few words I have summed up
all that I truly know, or at least all that I have thus far been aware of
knowing.
Whoops, interesting looking hat; but I'm not buyin' it.
Now here's something we hope you'll *really* like...
