Bernd-- I always appreciate the deep discernment which you bring to a discussion!
Thanks for the reminder that metaphors from one field to another are evocative, not causal. They may lead us in valuable new directions, but cannot be givens. Did I hear you accurately? You wrote: << In that last point I am with Artur when I am in my everyday critical reflective mood/trance (like now and here) probably because of my training as physicist, but seem to be with Harrison, Chris... when I am in meditation, or having my rattle-voyages and so getting into spriritual trance >> I believe that you have described two distinct states of consciousness, both natural to human beings and both important--and the world looks very different from inside each of these states. I guess my challenge is to expand myself to where I can some way hold these two states within my one self.
