Platt to Andre:
What I meant by transconceptual is knowledge beyond definition,
beyond words, "undifferentiated without conceptual distinctions." It
refers
to our meta-sense, a higher form of understanding that recognizes the
beauty of the Parthenon and the truth of Godel's Theorem, a tuning fork
in the brain than hums when we stumble upon something of
exceptionally high quality -- like the MOQ.
Andre:
Thanks for this Platt. Is this 'knowledge beyond definition'
similar/the same as our intuitive 'sense' (of the
aesthetic/harmony/beauty/Quality) or for that matter, non-algorithmic
understanding?
Cheers
Andre
Hi all. I've been having a huge problem getting the list, as my provider
insists on calling it spam and deleting it. I may have the problem worked
out, but no guarantees, so if I disappear again, you'll know why. I did
want to respond to this though. I changed the subject, as it seemed
appropriate.
Specifically: The Baghavad Gita says that, "The mind is the slayer of the
real." While I like the idea of the mind as a tuning fork, I wonder if the
resonance isn't a result of an arbitrary processing done by the mind? This
would also explain the 'knowledge beyond definition' problem, in that since
our minds are unique, much like snowflakes (in more ways than one) we also
perceive differently. Those differences manifest much like the
superposition of quantum physics, I think. Once we perceive something as
having quality, we establish that quality while eliminating anything about
it that doens't have it.
This feels too obtuse even to me, but it "feels" right. Comments?
