Bruno last night I dreamt that my cat had divided itself into two cats. Both cats were clones and happily running about and interacting. I could see both and was discussing with some friends the puzzle of why only some people, like me could see the constant clonage of things living. During the dream I had the amazing perception that this was happening to all living objects and it was as logical and certain as anything perceived during the day with eyes wide open. Also amazing - the "belief" that this is happening to macro (living) objects persisted in my brain for about a half an hour after I woke up. Clearly, translating into English your "amoebas" is having a profound effect on my unconscious mind. This also highlights for me the mysterious nature of "belief". As you mention, early on in the thesis, we can believe no matter what falsity while we are asleep and dreaming. The occasional powerful dream like this one that penetrates the awake conscious mind shakes the very foundations of what we consider to be "reality". What then, is the value of paying attention to the dreaming mind in this odyssey of "The Fabric of Consciousness" we are all hypnotized by at this time? PS - expect to post to this thread an instalment of the continuation of the translation by tonight - am being extremely careful to get it dead right to avoid any ambiguities. regards, Kim Jones People often confuse belief in a reality with belief in a physical reality - Bruno Marchal http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/ Email: kmjco...@mac.com kimjo...@ozemail.com.au Web: http://web.mac.com/kmjcommp/Plenitude_Music Phone: (612) 9389 4239 or 0431 723 001 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
