تجنب. القتل والاغتصاب واستعباد الآخرين Avoid; murder, rape and enslavement of others -----Original Message----- From: archytas <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 6:21 PM Subject: Re: Mind's Eye Re: Presence Equafinality is a word most have not heard, yet just means there may be many roads to the same outcome. Id, ego and super-ego are just terms from Freud and various origins in religion and literature (Attic tragedy, Goethe, Shakespeare). Some receive 'I think therefore I am' as 'clever', others mistrust the grounding, even of doubt, in this glib form of philosophy based on "presence". Like Allan, some have it that this wordy-merdey is just a form of dominating presence itself. Science can easily beat people up by asking them to integrate, differentiate, work out vectors, draw curves from data and even do and record some simple measurements. If Gabby and I met (and the bullets missed), we would have to speak in English for me to understand as my German is even more schoolboy than the rest of me. Unless blind, most of us could look down a microscope and see Brownian motion (bits from pollen grains buffeted by molecules), but most of us lack the language to understand this (one does not see the molecules or the physics of a potential pathway to the stars). Tony's tent is not a bad example of a tensor system (Einstein - but the ideas come from how bridges stay up), though guy-ropes need some slack as I remember. "With respect to many, if not most issues, there exist significant differences of opinion among individuals who seem to be equally knowledgeable and sincere. Individuals who apparently have access to the same information and are equally interested in the truth affirm incompatible perspectives on, for instance, significant social, political, and economic issues. Such diversity of opinion, though, is nowhere more evident than in the area of religious thought. On almost every religious issue, honest, knowledgeable people hold significantly diverse, often incompatible beliefs." "Alston suggests that our inability to describe the elements of religious-mystical experiences from a phenomenological point of view does not imply that they lack a distinctive phenomenology, or that they fail to be directed at some mind-independent reality, in rather the way that sense experiences are. We lack a relevant vocabulary, he argues, because we cannot construct any simple correlation between a range of “stimulus conditions” for mystical perception and the kinds of experience which are likely to arise under those conditions. And therefore we cannot refine a vocabulary for the description of mystical experience by replication of relevant conditions and renewed attention to the phenomenology of the experiences that occur under those conditions. By contrast, there is no difficulty in general in specifying the phenomenology of an experience of, say, turning one's face into a breeze, because it is easy to recreate the stimulus conditions for such an experience, and we can therefore attend repeatedly to the character of the experience. And since others can also do this, we can establish a public language for the description of such experiences." It all gets wordy-merdey pretty quickly and many are not good with words or other forms of representation. Sue is just back from work and my heart skipped a beat (not really of course) and yesterday Max swam the river to get to a family of deer on the other side. I thought I might have to rush across to save the deer from harassment, but the lad just looked, seemed to chat and came back. A snake told me he wasn't a serpent (well, he actually told me that with different HOX genes he would have fingers to make the appropriate gesture to artists for there aeons of misrepresentation). It is true snakes could grow legs if we could manipulate their HOX genes. The rest is not something we should be silent on. I can explain the HOX set-up in detail. The mystic is more difficult. In fact, the detail of presence, is overwhelming.
