In the beginning...
#68
RE: In the beginning...
We definitely basically agree.

yes. it (all science understanding) is woe fully incomplete now. But we need to be careful with "qualitative" analysis with things like " it is beautiful". Or "I felt it speak to me".

"kenosis" if fine. IE, release your preconceived notions and truly see the world as it is. It is the basis for psychology today to help people help themselves. I do think the universe may speak to us. We are not a clean slate. There is no possible way for that to be true. I have evidence to support this stance.

what is "sustentation"? I put forth it is inputs to your brain from what is around you. I also put forth that the brain is so complex (10^14 ish reactions a second) that one area of the brain can input to another area of the brain. And we "sense" that it is from "somewhere else". we have to be aware that this is a possibility. The word "discern" comes to mind.

I also think that that universe's particles may be in states that would classify as an organized information transport sytem. I see it in earth biosphere, so maybe we can extend it, or not. Jury still out on that. But it is reasonable to extend it.

now let's investigate this Kenosis thing a tad more.
I think that we could know the states of all the particles in your brain. And understand how these particles interact we could predict what you would find "beautiful" and what you would not. I also would suggest that if we knew enough, we could change your brain state so that you would find something beautiful that you did not before the state change. Like, "you now like liver on pigs intestines" for lunch type a thing. I use the god helmet as evidence that this "kenosis" is possible
