Unique Mind & Mark Baker:
Thank you for sharing that! That is information that I have never come across before!
Kind of reminds me of symmetry:
Symmetry in physics has been generalized to mean invariance—that is, lack of any visible change—under any kind of transformation, for example arbitrary coordinate transformations. This concept has become one of the most powerful tools of theoretical physics, as it has become evident that practically all laws of nature originate in symmetries. In fact, this role inspired the Nobel laureate PW Anderson to write in his widely read 1972 article More is Different that "it is only slightly overstating the case to say that physics is the study of symmetry."
From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry#Rotoreflection_symmetry
An example of this is where negative values in an equation do not alter the equations solution. Possibly the most famous application is Feynman's diagrams from quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the theory that all the universe's matter is a single electron bouncing back and forth through time.
Now if one thought about that it would truly mean "all were one", as in non-dualistic enlightenment, from a purely matter perpective.
I recall the LRH reference where the physical sciences had far out stripped the humanities and this began the query of "why", and "in what way". From here the natural path to walk is to realize that the advancement of the physical sciences are pivotal with the great cognitions that properties and states that were previously thought to be different were actually the same thing.
As in:
celestial motion and terrestial motion - these were unified by Newton to be the same, this launched the laws of physics and the age of classical physics
electricity and magnetism are one thing - electromagnetism - sets the groundwork to establish the constant of the speed of light
space and time are actually one thing - spacetime
matter and energy are equivalent - e=mc(squared)
...on and on to the point that theoretical physicists no longer look for anything but symmetries and then extropolate the corresponding law of nature. This has postulated the theory of everything as the unifying of the four forces of nature. These are the "business" of the physical sciences.
What are some of the "businesses" of the humanities?
One would be ethics. Another morals, another justice, perhaps law may be another?
What would happen to the humanities if they underwent similar unifying revelations as the physical sciences?
I then looked at ethics, morals, justice and law to see.
If non-dualistic enlightenment were to occur then ethics, morals, justice and law would unify, much like the 4 forces of nature under the unifying theory of everything, and here's how.
In a state of enlightenment there exists no lack and in its place there's a state of fulfillment and abundance. There is no separation. It is a transcended state that transcends the overt-motivator sequence, cause and effect, etc. It transcends MEST.
One does not steal from oneself, rape oneself, knowingly decieve oneself for the purpose of something for nothing. In a state of fulfillment there's nothing to steal - no promise of gain or threat of loss so no need to rape or deceive.
In this state ethics, morals, justice and law probably wouldn't even exist. No one would need to "keep their ethics in" because that implies to not selfishly act upon a perceived tempation to drop below fair exchange. If one were totally fulfilled there would exist no tempation - one would already possess everything.
Under a true unified theory there may not exist the four forces of nature.
For instance gravity. It implies a separation from matter, energy and space to exist - perhaps even a separation of time. If these things were to be unified then gravity itelf may prove to be an appearancy.
If fact, the more we know about the physical universe the more we know that it's not there - and this is extant under the current big bang theory of cosmology. This theory itself is problematic - google search "top 30 problems of the big bang". Perhaps as we learn more about the universe we'll as-is even more! (Null Physics, as in
http://www.nullphysics.com/, is a recommended read.)
Going back to the humanities the more we apparently learn about the ego the more it's not there. Take a bed sheet and cover it with sand. From below push up the fingers of one hand and what will appear would be 5 distinct linen entities standing in the sand. The sand would represent the physical univers, the linen the ego and the hand would be you. Pull off the sheet and there's only you.
At any rate it is true for me that factual truth is universal and is instantly agreed upon by all...it transcends age, sex, health, wealth, status, religion, language, intelligence, beauty, aptitude, geographical location (space), time, philosophy, opinion, belief, etc., as in "2+2=4". No matter where you go in any of the mentioned positionalities 2+2 is always 4 (excluding calculus
).
This is why physics is physics no matter where you go.
People are united by truth and divided by fallacy.
Anywhere that people are divided there is fallacy and to the degree that they are divided then to the degree fallacy exists.
Democrats vs Republicans, Democracy vs Communism, Black vs White, Man vs Woman, Psychiatrist vs Scientologist, NAZI vs Jew, Cowboys vs Indians, Spy vs Spy (ha ha)...
When one looks at all these opposing forces one can see that they all want and don't want the same things and these truths are universal. Everyone wants security, health, wealth, happiness, fulfillment, love, education adn they don't want murder, crime, loss - they merely argue on how to go about it as in Democrats vs Republicans.
The ultimate separation is death = the ultimate fallacy.
At the top of the scale of emotion we have "us" - at the bottom we have "vs". Anything that is "vs" is at the bottom of the scale of emotion.
To transcend these it to reach for and attain truth. This is healing. This, followed to its end, is non-dualism. This is divine.
In reality, truth even transcends "truth vs fallacy" in that no one can argue factual truth. It is self-evident and everyone will instantly agree with it, as in "2+2=4".
