this email answers ken, david, glove, struan, paul, ken again, and finally
fintan:
hi, ken:
everything you explained makes sense to me! there is even something you say
that reminds me of Jung's Answer to Job:
<With the injection of human sentience into the picture the operation of
Dynamic Quality became subject to being changed by human sentience.
lithien:
Jung said that human consciousness affects the collective unconscious which
i equate with Dynamic Quality. what do you think? am i far off in this
supposition?
dear david, you said:
<Don't blame Hegel.
lithien:
i cant help it. i pull for the individual all the time, even when i know we
have to have order in society or else we'll have chaos. *S
dear glove, you answered me:
<It is not possible to put boundaries around death, in my opinion.
lithien:
It is so hard to imagine death that i was just trying to make myself feel
better. Einstein's theory is so comforting!
dear struan:
i was surprised at the vehemency of your message regarding Islam. i think
maggie was just quoting what Pirsig said regarding what Islam
fundamentalists extremists believe about the West. they are capable of
stereotyping just like we are. of course, you are right in that Islam is a
religion not a culture and that theyre many other Islam nations which are
not arabic. but, all religions are social institutions and as such would
feel threatened by any culture that would put more value on the individual
intellect than on societal control. the good of the many against the good
of one. do you remember that quote from pirsig?
dear paul:
i was thinking of your paper on the subjectivity of Quality today when i
heard this quote: "There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so".
Hamlet
can you use it?
ken posted again before i could finish this e, he added:
<Those "Truths" which did not contribute materially to the line of physical
evolution were discarded and the "Truths" which offered the line of least
evolutionary resistance were pursued. The result was the universe as we
understand it now.
lithien:
i would add that mutations played a very important part in this "line" of
Truths since depending on the changes occurring in the environment, they
offered viable alternatives which helped shape our universe today. the
lines may have zig zagged considerably instead of being straight.
fintan! how appropriate i love Wuthering Heights, you say:
<Heathcliffe and Cathy from Wuthering Heights are proof of the proposition
by Jung that there is a woman within the man and a man within the woman. The
Animus and Anima.
lithien:
those two certainly were each other's kindred souls.
Heathcliff of Catherine: "I cannot live without my life! I cannot live
without my soul!"
im done for today!
