Dear Hugh and list readers,
I am to trying to decipher this one. For all that it may be worth I don't think that the medium conveys something of power. If it does it is only latent power.  Information is all that we work with.  Nature has the power.  All we are doing is inputing the information with various homeopathic potencies.  Of course there are various way to do this through different mediums.  To draw an analogy of homeopathic potency with a computer.  The computer has the potential but without the information and programs it is nothing.  Similarly nature has the potential power and we feed it the information in the form of a homeopathic potency to achieve the effect we want. In fact we can draw an analogy that the whole physical world can be describe as a giant computer feeding us information through our physical senses to our brains and that the physicial world does not really exist in this sense.

Dear List Readers, (and please someome send me the info to resubscribe to SANET, as this post should go out.)

We seem to be laboring under two different paradigmal ideas. One is that the medium conveys something of power--which it does. This is expressed in the inverse square law where the potency diminishes in the inverse square of the distance from the source.=Light and its behavior from source, dispersing to the extremes, etc..

The other paradigm, too often obscure, is that the medium conveys something of information.--which it does. This is expressed in the fact that once an insect steps in a spider web it is caught, and the whole game plan changes from that moment from one side of the medium to the other.

Modern computing shows just how dependent we are on the informational status of what we think we have in our computers as power.

RETHINK

We must never forget that all of nature conforms to the same laws as prevail in our computers and in our (outdoors) fields. I grow spinach, lettuce, fine herbs. How do they know to be so exquisite, so robust, with so little rainfall!? I'm programming this information in, non-verbally, of course. I don't know how finely I can do this but very, very equisitely, I'm sure. We all do this to varying degrees.

Nature, as it happens, is intensely informational, as is shown by natural responses to various homeopathic potencies--which contain only patterns, nothing else of compelling power more forceful than water!

With homeopathy we are not levering the blocks of matter around with wedges of various force, but rather we are coreographing the ballet of how woods meets right-of-way, and field rotates with meadow, and how in the midst of this market gardens and neighborhood dairies can exist--and, please, let's forget the idea that more intensive regulations will protect us from the mega-dairy problems.That's a comforting fiction for sophomores and freshmen. The real envronment should be one we can live with one hundred years back and one hundred years forward. We know people this old so we should require this of our environmental standards.

In any event, we seem to be working with both sets of beliefs, power AND information. Sometimes it seems like power vs. information. I don't suppose there need be any conflict.

Is there?

Well, there seems to be, and I think we are all guilty to whatever degrees--don't set oneself up for sanctimony. I think this is an issue worth looking at. We work everyday with both sets of beliefs, and somehow that isn't causing major crises.


I sure had a lot of difficulty with people understanding how I can put the map of a property with it's boundaries drawn in the well of my field broadcaster and expect the broadcast to conform to those boundaries as marked.


But is there really any conflict? Maybe we can live with this as is, but I believe we should start looking at every thing we deal with from BOTH sets of view for while and see what suggests itself.

I invite responses of every sort.

Several people have told me I should read William Tiller, a physisist from Stanford, U. in this regard. But his book was sold out at ACRES. I'll catch up onthis later. It looks like this is an overlooked dichotomy that has kept a lot of folks wallowing in the swamps of half-reason.

Best,
Hugh Lovel
