Doctrine of Conductivity & Vestigial Vessels
The whole idea that you're an isolated ego in a meat-suit living in a mechanistic material world is not scientific. Your body is a bridge for sensation, your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, touch the external world and structure your internal world. You're the external world (as within, so without). The internal-external myth is an intellectual illusion, thinking and being cannot be separated. Man abstracted nature from the total field of existence so he could organize 'things' inside the space-time continuum. Objects or things create their own space and time, likewise your perception of reality bends around being present. Being present creates an information bias. We're nodes in an evolutionary scheme of 'things,' helping a primordial consciousness divide and express itself. This thread (like all forum threads and communication in general), as microcosm of the whole thing-in-itself, illustrates how we live for each other, and how our thoughts behave accordingly.
"Way out in space, and way out in time. Billions of years ago, you were a big bang, but now you're a complicated human being. And then we cut ourselves off, and don't feel that we're still the big bang. But you are. Depends how you define yourself. You are actually--if this is the way things started, if there was a big bang in the beginning-- you're not something that's a result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are." -Alan Watts
“If you want to stay in for the long haul, and lead a life that is free from illusions either propagated by you or embraced by you, then I suggest you learn to recognize and avoid the symptoms of the zealot and the person who knows he is right. For the dissenter, the skeptical mentality is at least as important as any armor of principle.” -Christopher Hitchens
You talk about people that you don't know,
You talk about people wherever you go.
You just talk, talk too much.
You talk about people that you've never seen,
You talk about people, you can make me scream.
You just talk, you talk too much.
The epistemological value of any dialectic or cognitive pattern/program must be defined through a spectrum of perception/reality. Any self-perceived individual node plugged into reality must compare and contrast ideas which occur inside the total field of awareness. As a node, we proceed to abstract a relative perspective on life. As a system of thought, atheism is the other end of theism, and likewise the political left is the other end of the political right. Your perspective is a relative interpretation of the perceived happening you're experiencing. Take away theism, you eliminate atheism; take away the political right, you eliminate the political left. Fragmentary or compartmentalized reason is fallacious, because all pieces constitute a whole. Self-aware individuals abstract their identity, and what they think they know, from an all at once happening. Who, what, where, when, why, how- become scientific approximations through a series of serious analysis, yet all quantities and qualities must be compressed expressions of the eternal present filtered for a system of human communication. The eternal present itself is beyond comprehension and compression, because its qualities and quantities are invisible to the involved observer engaged with the living interval of existential experience. Science will never understand or explain the undivided whole of a simultaneous 'happening,' because science itself is enfolded in the investigation of the interplay between 'things' inside the 'happening' as it unfolds, therefore it will never be able to 'see' the 'happening' for what it is or from any perspective other than a living perspective.
