Jonathan and squad,
I have just been reading your post of yesterday where you referred to
your post of the 12th.
I have been hanging back lurking because I thought my ideas were not
mainstream enough to fit the discussion.
First let me say that I am a thorough Logical Positivist as far as I can
hang on to that position. However, there is a time when. to my mind, that
becomes impossible.
I am referring to the "Big Bang" and where it all came from in the first
place. I seem to lose all hold on rationality when I get back that far. All
else seems to make sense, or at least be capable of explanation, after the
initial beginning.
With these thoughts in mind I do not think of the first level as being
the chaotic. It seems more logical to me to designate it the mystical
level. Perhaps there should be another level to follow the mystical level
which we could designate the Physical level or some such since it seems to
me that after we mystically establish the beginning then all else follows
logically. Applying Chaotic to it seems wrong because, although it would be
difficult to work out the chain of events, the process smacks of logic. It
would be a similar chain of events to the workings of the current mind
which, it seems to me, cannot be called mystical just because we sometimes
can't follow our own train of thought.
So I think that the only mysticism involved in our situation is the
beginning. Ken
