Jdlaw, thanks, I was checking it out at
you tube on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6G3-Zc9mtMIt seems that it revolves around the same basic foundations of inquiry, like multiple unity at different levels. Almost all the writers on the topic notice how separate areas of knowledge, like philosophy, religion, science, psychology, and so on merge into a coherent view, that there is order and unity in the supposed chaos.
For example, a
person, is a
unity that is made up of a
multiplicity of atoms and molecules, chemical dna, and so on.
I would like to refer to a mind boggling, albeit a crude anthropomoporhic grasp of consciousness. Though this "noosphere," or by many names extends beyond our physical universe, I would like to point at our own "thinking plan
et." I mean this in the philosophical sense of "DEMIURGE," in that we are the "
et" being sculptured from invisible idea(s).
“In Einstein’s vision, the universe is like an organism in which each part is the manifestation of the whole” (Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind p 76).
“Bohr was convinced that complimentary was relevant not only to physics but also to psychology and to life itself” (Deciphering the Cosmic Number p 102).
If we can consider the mathematician physicist, Wolfgang Pauli's dream illustration his "countries mandala" that can be found in a wonderful collection of letters between himself and Jung we can notice how he explores the collective unconscious ("u-field" for physicists), and collective consciousness as if similar to an individual "I" dreaming.
In the table above, the "FITS" or "SIFTS" are the basic functions of the psyche that is used in the Jungian school of psychoanalytics.
I was fortunate enough to talk with Dr. Ira Progoff, Depth Psychologist in the 1970's. He was one of Jung's favorite students. He was kind enough to flatter me as having a good technical grasp of the subject.
In his book,
Synchronicity, Jung and Human Destiny, from an original manuscript that was heavily edited by Jung with handwritten notes in the margins, Progoff suggests that we compare Einstein, Bohr and Piere de Chardin's "noosphere" with Jungs
cu and synchronicity.
Now imagine that analogous to Pauli's exclusion principle, or in Mandlebrots fractals an individual jumps into another coherent collective level, a sort of
Ultra
Human. I we can consider our perception of the 'present' as narrow, but with an
Ultra
Man
Psychology with a personality, may have enveloped all of our time.
According to Jung, "the unconscious personates."
We should keep in mind that
persons are not words, nor are words things. However, if we consider the discussions between Pauli and Jung, particularly here, that Pauli had been initiated into philo linguistic symbolism occurring in his dreams. Both analyzed the manifestations in terms of what names like "
Spiegler" meaning "REFLECTOR" and "
Auctor" which Jung says can be "auctor" (actor), we get a sense of how a unity where like dna is to a person, articulates as a sort of "thinking plan
et."
Here is a sonnet that I composed in 1981. By 1983, it was very close to this one posted, with less than a handful of changes to compact syllables. These are full of irony, "coincidences" regarding names, etc. I had sent a copy to Dr. Progoff in 1984. One was faxed to Dr. Mortimer Adler Chicago office in 1983.
Dr. Mortimer Adler tried to correct my spelling of NOOS, by insisting it was NOUS. But that was because he is a tarzan Aristotlean philosopher.
Theologian Bernard Lonergan, in his
Truth and Method provides some insight into how we can interpret names.
Many writers have pointed to the world as a classical stage, a living dream. Mythologist Joseph Campbell suggested that we get past the physical view of the world to see it as a poem (interview with Bill Moyers).
That means that we each observe 'the holy cosmic play' differently. German scholar Hans Georg Gadamer in his
Truth and Method, points out that all is expressed in the play, but that not all spectators will see all of the meanings.
In a sense, this "
noospeak" is a sort of "
ju de nom class coincidences" (from French "
jeu" and "
jeux" meaning "play," "game," "match," and "set.")
I hope this makes some sense to help envision a sort of mind boggling consciousness that operate in
patterns
across
time.
