Politics

So deeply disconnected

While sharing some ideas on the ResearchGate site, I wrote the following:

“Now that we have met with paradox we have some hope of making progress.” [Niels Bohr]

I go further and argue that if the theory you are considering (e.g. to explain consciousness) is not at root a paradox, then it is a limited truth.

And no, we can never fully comprehend these paradoxes of life -- such as finite within the infinite, consciousness within a deeper collective-unconscious, part within whole, individual within oneness.

If you think you've fully understood any of the above paradoxes, you've simply demonstrated a bias of focus towards one side.

The power of the reciprocal test

Recently enjoyed a few email exchanges with a well-meaning, good-natured friend.

The communications included ideas concerning "God".

Now, as I have found in many such "arguments" there are entrenched views that aren't often swayed by counter-arguments -- here's one example where simple straight-forward reasoning didn't change this person's belief one bit, it seems.

Be that as it may, there is a very helpful technique that enables one to see the bias in beliefs.

Fascinating politics

Submitted by The Belief Doctor on

The current hung-parliament situation in Australia is a wonderful catalyst for reflection on the deeper rhythms and energies of life. The fact that there have been similar hung-parliaments in the democracies of U.K and Canada is also a telling indicator of deep changes in the psyches of people around the world.
