A theory of reality

November 23, 2013 — BarryK
My old blogs were mostly used for Puppy development, so I stayed away from posts about philosophical/religious and political topics. Sometimes I veered onto health and social issues, but only briefly.

It was a question of wearing my Puppy hat, and staying on-topic. Deviating onto other topics, especially philosophical/religious and political, raises emotions -- and that would be too distracting from the central purpose of those blogs.

But not now, I am unleashed!

Of course, I am now going to have to expect some heavy criticism. I will moderate, but will only delete a comment if it is insulting, obscene or extremely vulgar. Flame wars will be truncated. Polite constructive criticisms are welcome.

To get the ball rolling, here is a real humdinger. "A theory of reality" is a separate document, as it is too big to insert into this blog. However, feedback is welcome here.

Remember, even if you read it and think that I have totally lost the plot in my old age, polite constructive criticisms please.

Faith"ozsouth"Agreed, aside from the I's perception lies faith, in many
directions. Isaac Asimov expressed similarities in thinking.
As I age, I find deep thought increasingly confusing, and
find faith (in Christ, in my case) my only light and security.

ozsouth, yes, I agree with you. Indulging in intellectual models of "reality" is alright, but only to a certain extent.

Personally a day spent wandering spontaneously through the woods is of more value to me than the most refined of cultural or technical activities. Forgive me for saying this but I thought your “visit to Tom Price” was one of the most significant and meaningful of your many accomplishments. Not that I am not grateful for Puppy Linux, frankly it just “feels right” using it.

is the only non-construct.

Even the separation between
Inner-Universe and Outer-Universe
is a construct.

Meister Eckhart (1260 - 1328, supposed)

BEATI PAUPERES SPIRITU
(extract)
"If I had wanted to, neither myself nor any thing would be, and if I wasn't, God would not be more. That God is God, I am the cause; If I wasn't, God would not. But it is not necessary to understand this."

Life is one,
and travels across universes
like waves across
an infinite ocean.


is God a Typo too ?

"That God us help to live eternally."
[There ? but, God, your world.....? ]

Is the word "tree" the thing it describes or not ?
