That sounds like cue for an old thread "What Light is That?" How do we know what light we have? How are we able to identify the various natures of those various lights we possess? As I recall it was a difficult question. There are many lights. Indeed almost every entity that I have ever met has had some light of its own. a406.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=esononmas&action=display&thread=260

What was the light to which you referred?

In this thread I referred to the light of the mind - informed by new data.

There are Chinese traditions of emperors using unicorns to determine guilt. Such unicorns must have been smaller than the one attached to the outside of Noah's Ark. This is not new data. "One of the most enduring unicorn legends comes from China. The zhi, or xie zhi, was a one-horned mythical beast that could separate the innocent from the guilty. One story tells of a xie zhi who lived in the courts during the early Han dynasty (~200 B.C.) and assisted officials in their trials. It was said that the zhi would spare the innocent, but would gore the guilty through the heart." Subsequent to that post you admitted unicorns had no physical existence.

Oh dear. I hope you did not invest too much money on my statement.
Meanwhile, which types of unicorns was I referring to when I said that they are not physical? I dare say I was referring to the white and black unicorns that can be seen on Earth (white) and in the Solar System (black).
As for the Chinese unicorns, they are reported as physical but I have not seen them and do not know to which taxon they may belong

So you DO still maintain the material or physical reality of unicorns!?

On the one hand you claim the universal agreement on the properties of unicorns somehow proves their existence. On the other hand you cite example of "unicorns" from around the world which, when considered, are seen to be very different mythological creatures: Some flying, some not; some milky white; some green (or, you claim, black); some with horns, some without; some with silky coats and manes, some with scales; etc., etc. Indeed, their identification as "unicorns" is attributed to Westerners. Go figure.

Among others you had been talking about the Chinese unicorns.

If only I could recover the mens rea I might be able to defend myself. Oh well, such severity in the craft.

Pinky, this is just for you.. I dreamed a dream last night... Sitting on a wall above me was a man with a big grey cat (cheetah size and shape). I said hello to both of them, the cat responded but jumping down to my level and curling up beside me. As I was patting it I noticed it had stripes across its back just like a tiger I could kick myself now for not remembering to check his eyes out.

I am informed that the post in question infringed upon the principle of brotherly love Since when am I required to love you here? I simply pointed out that mens rea literally meant guilty mind, observed it made little sense in this context and wondered if it might have been a Freudian slip.

You should speak to the Boss about that.
And by the way your Latin translation is incorrect.

Literally "the mind of the accused". Generally in criminal law there needs to be intent. Hence the mind of the accused needs to be identified in order to establish guilt.
In the view of some it seems to be that to be accused is to be guilty.

From the above link.
Running mens rea through Google translate gets guilty mind.
I suggest readers try their own search.

A Latin dictionary might be better: Reus (Translation Accused) Main Forms: Reus, Rea, Reum - Hence mind of the accused.
What a lot of effort goes into chasing personalities. Are there not better investments of your time?
