Hello Mary --
The smaller the particles are that you can detect, the smaller the
particles are that you detect - ad infinitum down the rabbit hole
so to speak. These physicists were basically predicting the failure
of their own discipline to be able to ever achieve the absolute
answers it seeks.
In a previous post I made this statement. What muddies the water
between the Social Level and the Intellectual is the same thing that
muddies it between the Social and the Biological; namely that all
three exist thanks to Subject-Object Logic. ...We are immersed
in it and we owe it a great debt, but is it right? Just because it is
fundamental to biological survival, does it follow that that's the way
the Universe really is?
Yes...because that's what existence is. The universe is not Reality but a
relational space/time system that is only our experiential representation of
it. The inter-level "muddied water" you refer to is not experiential
because the levels are intellectual constructs (classifications of sensory
data) rather than "experience" per se. You express gratitude for
"Subject-Object Logic", but you have left the cognitive self out of this
analysis. There would be no S/O or SOL (to use Bo's term) without
subjective awareness. You owe your thanks, not to S-O logic, but to the
Uncreated Source which made you a free agent of value
I would argue that we are immersed in the value of Essence (Absolute
Reality) which we experience as a physical universe (i.e., the world of
appearances as viewed subjectively). That these appearances constitute
"objective reality" is a subjective precept that follows experience and
involves intellection on the part of the observer. Since the form and
attributes of objects are constructed by the individual self
(value-sensibility), it follows that the remainder of what you've written is
true,
The physicists were undeterred. Though willing to admit the inadequacy
of their area of science to achieve a fundamental understanding of the
nature of the Universe, they could not offer another alternative to
reaching
that understanding. The science is good, the results valid and
verifiable,
and many useful and interesting things are learned from it; yet following
that
subject-object path to infinity will not result in ultimate answers - and
even they are aware of that.
We are all immersed in SOM and so believe it to be all there is. But we
are approaching the point in particle physics where SOM interpretations
of the nature of the Universe are failing to provide the answers we seek.
Instead of reassessing the validity of the SOM model, however, we are
doggedly pursuing funding for ever bigger and more highly energetic
accelerators in hopes of finding particles even more fundamental than
those already discovered.
We do not really believe that the Universe is made of Quality. We pay
lip service to this idea while continuing to build particle accelerators
in our
backyard. This is because SOM is in our DNA. SOM (or more precisely
SOL) is the engine for the Biological, Social, and Intellectual Levels.
The
Intellectual Level is separated from the Social only by the nature of that
which it values. It is all SOL all the way down and we will be unable to
understand the answers we seek, or even know the right questions to ask,
until "the SOM/SOL veil is lifted from our eyes" as they say.
As long as we have eyes that see, and a brain that reasons, we shall only
know reality as subject-object existence. We may speculate, theorize, or
logically postulate a greater Reality, but this will never be realized as
direct knowledge or factual truth.
