after a wilfull week off,
i would offer another pass at the perceptual issues in some of the Master's
comments.
:" etheral MATTER as being an intellectual reality but
later statements imply that the vibrations of this matter exist:"
yes. to exactly the same degree...which to say, as an intellectual reality.
as i cited recently around here, thisd is a view utterly consistent with
eistein, who said pretty much exactly the same thing..that intellectual
realities allow us to form constructs with which we describe our apprehension
of nature.
an overly simple example of this might be if i ask u to show me "one".
u may show me one apple, one pear, one universe...as examples of an
intellectual reality called "one". but you can neither show me "one" nor build
a world view without its existence.
and i offer this an a personal view, neither overly right nor wrong, as to
what the Master is referencing by "materialism".
there is a chicken/egg issue as to whether "one" comes into being by means
of apple, pear, universe, or whether apple, pear, universe come into being--by
means of some Incomprehensible Intent--as a side effect of there being "one"
and thus possibly being "two" etc.
the materialist, as i read the Master, confuses how with why, and insists on
his confusion being truth. the "fundamentalist" or whatever makes the same
mistake backwards.
the religious seek to understand how their understanding of the "how" gives
them the ability to enhance their performance in according with the "why".
