In my mind there is a parallel between the relationship Zanders refers to as the central self/calculating self and what I call the wave and the particle.
Here is my concept which I see reflected in his writings.
As humans we exist in two forms: the wave and the particle. The wave's the form from which are consciousness comes and we're all connected to. It is the energy of our souls. The particle is the particular part which gives us a concrete form.
Zander urges us to have more faith in the wave/central aspect of reality. This is the place Plato champions as the contemplative realm - where the pie is always whole, for ideas are eternal. The calculating/particle self is empirical and becomes dust, so why not gravitate towards the eternal?
I find your posts so thoughtful Mark and appreciate the connections you're able to make to the course. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on the wave and the particle.
ReplyDeleteWhy the inclusion of the cotton field photo? I know you have a poignant reason...
PS - I missed the video this week!
