Hi I've been a fan of Sam and Max for a long time now (played the game when I was somewhere around 12--can't believe my dad let me what with all the semi-adult humor and all the great language looking back hehe) but anyway I recently heard of the cancellation of the 2nd which is disheartening but I'm glad there are still fans such as yourselves around!

Oh, and Skinkie, you owe yourself one of your arms ;) Damn, I'm so perfectionist.

 

I could go along with that, but I'd rather just say any mistakes I made were done on purpose and therefore not mistakes :¬:. It'd be best if nobody questions this logic. Best for all of us. Well all of us who would like to keep our limbs.

Hesychastic: keeping silence; soothing or quieting. It comes from Hesychasm, or a "mystic" sort of prayer done by mystics quite a while ago on the eastern orthodox side of things religious. It would probably be easier to employ the word "quietistic" which, if you need, should be in a good unabridged dictionary.

Mango: I'm quite interested in your limb regrowing factory. There is an entire industry of people who bombard my e-mail daily with offers of 'extension' who would be utterly put out of business by it...

 

:max:

 

The Hesycasts were expelled by Czar Peter the great, hunted down by freemasons and finally finished off by the communist Soviet Union early in the last century. Which is why it means 'silent' nowadays.

 

The Hesychasm is a feature of mystic philosophy in the modern world. The intensely introspective mystic (e.g. the little chinese guy in a cave staring at the wall for nine years) will come face-to-face with an abyss of the mind. When a mystic realizes the illusory nature of the phenomena which create all reality, the unreal nature of existance itself reveals itself in stark and radiant blank horror. If he is not careful, he can become 'stuck' in this point of view and renounce the entire universe altogether; such people are occasionally found starved to death, cross-legged on the floor with a disturbed expression on their face.

 

To escape the Hesychasm, the mystic must willingly force his way through this mental state and return to the 'real' world of causal phenomena. This trick is really quite simple--once the mystic finds this unreal 'sameness' of it all, he must reinvest himself into the illusion of life by seeking those aspects of things which are special and unique.

 

So, the mystic can travel from the real world to the Hesychasm, and back again. :dozey: Or he should bring a revolver into the cave with him. Say, who brought whiskey?

That in which is not yours, shall not be changed on a whim.

 

In other words, what ZoomRabbit just said, doesnt apply to Jesters word, get your own word if you cant be hesychastic on this forum.

 

Oh, and Jester. Thats one damn good definition if there ever should be one. I wonder if there is a way to get it published in the dictionary...

Another, albeit more obfuscatory, way of exacerbating the challenge of random word identification would be to abjure the more obvious choices of vocabulary in favor of words which illate nondefinition. The english language is replete with many such extraneous palebera, including the wide universe of obscure iatric words like sphygmomanometer, abcpsia or bariatrics...

 

Forgive my empyreal allocution. :max: If this elucidation has put anyone in a swivet, I beg them reconsider before defenestrating the computer. Have an orrery!
