    Re: T.o.N. (Theory of Nothing)

    heres a short rendition(exerpt) from Tim's book appropriately relevant to this very moment.

    What we experience depends on how we think. You are reading this article right now. It's easy to take that for granted, as if there were nothing remarkable about it. But free yourself from your habitual assumptions, think in a more expansive way, and you will see that what is happening in this moment is quite extraordinary. I am inscribing black marks on white paper in my here-now and you are interpreting them in your here-now. And via some mysterious process no one truly understands, ideas which are forming in my mind are also arising in your mind. Two human beings are meeting across time and space.
    So here we are - you and I - communing in the nowhere-notime of the mind. I am writing this article to invite you to share my enthusiasm for some extraordinary ideas with the power to transform confusion into wonder, the mundane into the miraculous, the numbness we call ‘normality’ into a state of awakened enlivenment. Because changing how you think will change how you feel. And when you really understand these ideas you will feel very good indeed.

    Thank you sweetie.

    Save time for play.
    simplicity = nature we are part of that nature ..
    nature is her own rule .. perfect self evident wisdom ..
    doing gets done = us being doing
    no need for analyze in ... just be to enjoy this now moment ..
    before it passes away ..
    before you're very eyes ..

    Re: T.o.N. (Theory of Nothing)

    In Conversations with remarkable people Fritjov Capra, an "Analytical Physicist" writes.
    "My continuing association and intensive discussions with Geoffrey Chew, together with my studies and practice of Buddhism and Taoist philosophy, have allowed me to become completely comfortable with one of the most radical aspects of the new scientific paradigm---the lack of any firm foundation. Throughout the history of Western science and philosophy, there has always been the belief that any body of knowledge had to be based on firm foundations. Accordingly, scientists and philosophers throughtout the ages have used archetectural metaphors to deiscribe knowledge. Physicist looked for the "basic building-blocks" of matter and expressed their theories in terms of "basic" principles, "fundamental" equations, and "fundemental" constants. Whenever major scientific revolutions occured it was felt that the foundations of science were moving. Thus Descartes wrote in is celebrated Discourse on Method:

    "In so far as [the sciences] borrow their principles from philosophy, I consider that nothing solid could be built on such shifting foundations."

    Three hundred years later, Heisenberg wrote in his Physics and Philosophy that the foundations of classical physics, that is, of the very edifice Descartes had built, were shifting.

    "The violent reaction to the recent developement of modern physics can only be understood when one realizes that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from under science."

    Einstein, in his autobiography, describerd his feelings in terms very similar to Heisenberg's:

    "It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built."

    It appears that the science of the future will no longer need any firm foundation, that the metaphor of the building will be replaced by that of the web, or network, in which o part is more fundamental than any other part.
    Chew's bootstrap theory is the first scientific theory in which such a "web philosophy" has been formulated explicitly and in which he agrees that abandoning the need for firm foundation may be the major shift and deepest change in natural science.

    Self enquiry is the only test that need be done, but then for one who thinks as you do, maybe that would be an impossibility, where's your true sense of "discovery", try it on yourself, the proof is in the pudding.
    Don't knock it until you've tried it Lloyd.
    That's only fair, equitable, and impartial, isn't it?

    I find your assumption unremarkable and without foundation.
