Like when I look at myself from my cat's point of view. Or my Cabin in the Mists from a stranger's point of view. Or the day's date from another calender's point of view.
Gold is too ostentatious, and copper is too utilitarian, so is silver the most spiritually fashionable metal?
A lady friend of mine in the jewellery business told me that silver crosses and anhks and other common religious patterns always sell better than gold versions of the same design. She believes it’s because gold is not spiritually fashionable, and never has been (my wife thinks it’s because more clothing options happen to match with silver than gold). It could also be that silver is much cheaper than gold… I would like to explore the idea of a spiritually fashionable metals.

I think someone can be very well educated but I would not always refer to them as an intellectual.
There are people that I have known who are not well educated formally but are well read and have self-studied and fall into the category of intellectual.
I think that intellectuals look beyond the educated word in their reasoning and their thinking.
There are people that have many degrees but are still hidden within a "box".
As human beings and we are always operating on faith since we never know what the future has in store for us.
When we pressed the elevator button we wait because we have faith it will come. Based on this statement we should make a distinction between three kinds of faith: below reason, within reason and above reason.
The usual connotation of the word refers to the first kind of faith: below reason, meaning that we’ve been told something and we believe it without verifying it. This is the religious approach to faith.
