Eh???? Am I supposed to understand that, or does it have a private meaning only revealed on a “need to know” basis?
Does this comment represent an elevated knowledge, a “higher truth” know only to a few, which has been acquired on some mystical higher plane of existence? Do those who are "in the know" see themselves as a privileged class elevated above everybody else by their higher, deeper knowledge of others who are participating in this thread?
Note: the preceding wording is not my own, but instead comes from a Wiki discussion of the characteristics of Gnosticism, a early belief system labeled as a heresy by the developing Christian church. Which is not to say that participants here have a religious belief system that they express in their daily lives, but that this philosophy seems applicable to the post quoted above.
