Conclusions Flashcards
Metaphysical views and complexity theory - compatible?
Metaphysical views are compatible not only with each other but also with complexity theory, they can be melded together into a seamless whole. Consciousness as the ground of being or fundamental awareness.
What is the link between the Platonic Ideal and nonduality?
The realm of the Platonic Ideal is the nondual realm of pure awareness before any single split into subject-object duality.
From nonduality - space-time - what are the steps to duality, thereby creating the fabric of existence?
Space-time, being rich in energy, erupts into quantum foam. The entities arising from here interact with each other, self-organising, springing up into subatomic particles, atoms, and molecules, into the whole material universe.
In what order was there consciousness and the universe according to complexity theory?
If the fundamental root and foundational nature of all existence is awareness, then the universe in its entirety and in every particular detail is nothing but the contents of that awareness. Yes, “we are stardust” but even before that we are pure Consciousness, pure awareness.
What would be two key benefits from the compatibility of science, philosophy and metaphysics?
Integrates knowledge from all three available sources and is inclusive. This inclusiveness serves as a platform for all manner of cross-disciplinary investigations, fertilisations and emergent surprises.
Examples of cross-disciplinary study?
Research into paranormal psychological phenomena such as out-of-body experiences, pre recognition, remote viewing and near-death experiences. Health and healing such as acupuncture, energy healing and Ayurvedic medicine. A possible foundation of untapped human potential.
What misapprehensions and delusions are we under?
It is our misapprehension that each of us is an unimportant cog in an unfeeling, non-living universe.
It is our collective delusion that we are separate and alone.
It is our training that causes us to forget the innocent sense of connection.
Complete this quote: “You are this body and you are these molecules…”
“You are this body and you are these molecules, and you are these atoms, and you are these quantum entities, and you are the quantum foam, and you are the energetic field of space-time, and, ultimately, you are the fundamental awareness out of which all these emerge, Planck moment by Planck moment… Our best, most modern sciences and philosophies confirm such perceptions to be accurate and true.”
