I’m fascinated that Max Plank, goodness my words here can’t adequately describe- I will try here , abandoned fixed and immutable for ALL - as he discovered with the quantum- it was impossible to ‘nail’ down anything as the other variables are in constant change- hence probabilities were as close as could be noted, so it is with all of creation!

Arthur Bentley was on a very similar tack with his essays ‘inquiry into Inquiry’. His collaboration with John Dewey ‘Knowing and the Known’ Useful Procedures for Inquiry’ tackles this same problem noting the inadequate use of language 1949 I think it was published.

Thank you for the post.

The quest for certainty runs deep. My own of course included. I’ve done thinking experiments on my self as I’ve abandoned ‘a quest for certainty’

With attention for about 15 yrs now

resulting in my return to living in the entirety of environment- difficult for me to articulate- the separation was established early in life - lots of self delusional dissolving along the way.

I’m wondering these days if a human could be raised without this separation perception that is culturally ingrained?

I’m hopeful- ❤️

Indeed, one is convincingly offered reality in which apparent individual, separate and self-regulating entities are an illusion. But in this 5 senses-based mechanistic reality one needed to develop understanding of the way of things through the definition and separation of individual entities. Thence through a process of logical and unfettered integration of the association of things could we arrive at a deeper understanding of the dynamics 'behind the veil'. My current perception of things is that the entire extended universe of matter-energy is indeed the manifestation of the Greater Creative Consciousness (GCC) which intentionally has manifest our individual consciousness potential with its co-creatorship function. Co-creatorship is a fundamental function within each consciousness whereby the wave collapse of superposition (energy potential) is converted into matter - but yet always retains its connection with energy superposition. Thus separation is an illusion. Additionally, I would contend that we are all fractals of the GCC, sharing similar values. And by fulfilling our need to co-create we contribute to the need of the GCC to support expansive co-creatorship. I believe that every single entity is integrated into the fabric of universal consciousness such that each is a hologram reflecting the flux of the entire universal dynamic at that specific point in time.
