« An Omniscope of Limitation »
Tuesday, June 7, 2011 Like a hot potato we pass the one and only breath around the circle, just in time for one’s need to inhale, just in time for one’s readiness to live. Circus of existence.
Is this 3d rock from the Sun big enough to generate “theories of everything”?
Of course not: a subset cannot supersede a Set, a part cannot reason as a Whole.
But is there a Whole?
Of course not.
Why not?!
Because to be is to have limitations (i.e. boundaries). A Whole, however, in order to be, in order to satisfy the logical prerequisites of existence would have to be without boundaries (i.e. boundless, unlimited).
But is there something like that?!
Of course, not. After all, the question of what exists is a question of perception: a limited mind (such as mine or yours) can no more grasp the unlimited than a whale can swim through an ear-ring hole. Hear me yet? Not yet?! Understand: a part (you, me) cannot think like a Whole.
But is there a Whole?
