Ow this is cool Rob, love it..;-)
Robert O'Neill replied
Thanks Zoe, just a bit of fun—or revenge. or whatever. Last week, or so, the BBC declared they had scanned the Loch and there is no ‘monster’ lurking in the depths.

wonderful to keep the romance alive, ah where wid we bee without Nessie.. warms every Scottish heart.
Robert O'Neill replied
Yes, the old monster gives the tourist industry a helping hand. Where would we be without it?
Also, wanted to have a sly jab at debunkers—boring buggers.
Walter Colvin

They are wrong..
There is “a monster” in Lock Ness.. and inside each heart.
As for many there are Lords… Gods…. Fairies… Gohsts… Spirits coming from Nowhere…
Life after Death… and an evanescent Soul…
Who cares?
I love the pictre… I feel afraid of diving.. of water profound…. buthere… he seems to be in such amiable companionship.. that it feel warm and lively.
Rosa (thanks for your entry on my Circle Game …)
Robert O'Neill replied
Tanks for the view Rosa. Bit of fun, but I also wanted it to be a comment on debunking/materialism (metaphysical naturalism).
With limited knowledge, materialists make great pronouncements about the life and universe, upholding modern dogma and orthodoxy. Only a materialistic world view can be contemplated.
Debunkers often claim to have science on their side, but any information they cannot disprove, they will just ignore. Thus their world view is very limited, but they claim it is everything.
I feel that one day, these debunkers and materialists will be in for a shock.
Hopefully, the picture above symbolizes this.
Take care Rosa
Rob
And once again, thank you for taking the time to give an extended comment.
Also, as you say, the myths and stories of the past are often symbols for the things that exist within us, of changes of life, the struggles of life etc.,

I have seen the documental about Lock Ness scanning.. or one very likely. I have understood how the lake was created.. what sort of specimens had been proved to lie there and what their original migration into was. i have heard about the manifold possibilities and “encounters” that several people had had along the time. And the more I heard and saw… the more I knew that the work itself was not trying to disrepute the existence of Nessie and family..even it may seem so… but an emergency for the soul to obtain nourishment for what there inside had been born.
I have read many things…sometimes beyonder my own intellectual capacities..but insisted again and again on them for they too, were calling my attention about how the world is.. was.. will be…or it seems to exist. I have found that right now Science and Spritituality are coming to a relationship that is no longer a discrepancy..a dualism but an encounter of the Taoist kind in which the Yang…meant to represent reason….formulation…paradigms..naked prooving…etc…at the utmost and purest of it give way to wonder… awe….acceptance of a intellectual void….humbleness before the misterious…..reachness to the change and flooding of Life…respect and love. this late representeng the Ying. And so…they dance around the axis…feeding themselves mutually and giving birth to a constant new life.
Debunkers are simply unconsious beings. Ignorant..and for this reason afraid. They will fundamentalize and in the worst…of emotional moves…despise. They can be very near of the frontier of a fundamentalist…a sort of Inquisition if something would become too menacing to their own shortness. And the materialists are something that is is shown in many parables… stories…even in the Bible..as when St. Thomas though he see with his own eyes that Jesus is there.. reborn…he demands to put hisnfingers into his side wound..just to be sure… you see?
Now that sicentifically is been shown that our brain is continually cheating our sensorial system.. even it controls it and that not everything “is” as we see it.. and that is mostly anything for our eyes capacities are short just to get the world “objected”...and that what we hear is not what there isnreally sounding around us…and that we may even be keep feeling and suffering from an amputated limb though it is notlonger in our body.. what can they say? Is our body less poetic…less awsome… spiritual less love deserving by that reasons?. Not for me….the more I know…they more they teach me…the more I observe through the “whole-soul”...the more I feel the profoundity , mistery, grandeur, and whatever you name Life..Apart from than I suffer the miseries and enjoy the blessings as always. Part of my manhood.
Well ..I have talked a bit too much. I get enthusiastic. You have opened a sort of “Pandora”´s box….i the good sense, of course. And gettting lengthy and confusing forms part of its containing.
Have a good…very good Sunday.

Robert O'Neill replied
Thanks for the extended comment Rosa. I really appreciate it. I agree completely with what you say. Like you, I find the debunkers desperately seeking security from the possibilities that lie out there. If they can construct a universe that functions to their ideas and rules, then they hope not to worry or be confused.
So, that monster is waiting to get them when they dive.

Aye. That monster, what ever it is, is lurking down in the belly of Loch Ness, claiming the lives of all of those who have “drowned” in its frigid waters. Have you read The Loch by Steve Alten? It suggests that the monster is actually a subspecies of something like an anguilla eel, which inhabit the Loch itself.
Pete Katsiaounis
Really awesome. Great sense of depth. Love it.
