Inner field already suggests a division between inner and outer, subject and object. Plato: The sun ... not only furnishes to those that see the power of visibility but it also provides for their generation and growth and nurture - though it is not itself generation. ... In like manner, then ... the objects of knowledge not only receive from the presence of the Good their being known, but their very existence and essence is derived to them from it, though the Good itself is not essence but still transcends essence in dignity and surpassing power. (509b) When [the soul] is firmly fixed on the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent it apprehends and knows them and appears to possess reason, but when it inclines to that region which is mingled with darkness, the world of becoming and passing away, it opines only and its edge is blunted, and it shifts its opinions hither and thither, and again seems as if it lacked reason. (The Republic bk. VI, 508d; trans. Paul Shorey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Shorey ) During his day, Plotinus and Neo-Platonists used the term to hen which translates has the One. This signifies a reality that is neither two-ness nor oneness. Rather, it was his linguistic pointer beyond divisional concepts, whether founded upon empirical sensations or discursive thinking. Plotinus says: From none is that Principle absent and yet from all: present, it remains absent save to those fit to receive And in 6.9.8 the Supreme as containing no otherness is ever present with us; we with it when we put otherness away . We are ever before the Supreme but we do not always attend: While Perennial Philosophy is useful for breaking the fixity of conceptual views, in the minds of people without direct transmission of the foundational dimension of these traditions, it ends up as a summary.Inner-field versus outer-field is already the basis of most human concepts and delusions. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long wrote: Buck, I don't think the forces that are destroying us are forces outside of us. It may seem that way but that is perhaps the most dangerous illusion and or delusion of all. We are all three: victim, perp and rescuer too. So we need a different kind of revolution IMHO. Yes, The Revolutionary Power of the Collective Modern unified field theory supports the perennial philosophy of all major cultural traditions that there exists a transcendental field at the most fundamental level of natural law, which can be directly accessed as the silent transcendental level of the human mind.

Are we as nations to go on like rats trapped in a conditioning cage, reacting the same way decade after decade? Or shall we step out of the cage into the transcendental level of our own consciousness and grow up into enlightened human beings, rather than continuing to resort to destroying and killing? This is the choice we have right now. -Buck in the Dome You need to realise, Buck, that the 'transcendental field' is everything you see before you, touch, taste, smell, and feel. Climate change IS the unified field. There is no choice now. We have to wait a while until it sinks in how devastating climate change is going to be, and finally the rats in the cage will have that dim bulb of recognition light up in the skull, and then perhaps you will see the behavioural changes necessary to address the situation even though by then it will probably take a millennium or more for any corrective action to have effects. http://ncadac.globalchange.gov/download/NCAJan11-2013-publicreviewdraft-fulldraft.pdf

Make haste! Make haste! We have the science and we know our experience. Make haste before it is too late.

The most important thing for people as they go along is to make use of their time while on this planet. Often in natural history of great suffering has come revolution. We are in an age of great spiritual revolution. Are you with us? The whole purpose of life is to gain enlightenment. Nothing else is significant compared to that completely natural, exalted state of consciousness. So always strive for that. Set your life around that goal.

Hundreds of studies have shown that experience of transcendental consciousness breaks the chain of conditioned reflexes coming on from past behavior, as seen in reduced addictive behaviors of all kinds, decreased prison recidivism, and reduced behavioral problems in inner-city children.

AND pubic lice are the latest on the growing list of endangered species. Does the EPA know about this? I hope PETA will be coming out with a, Be brave, don't shave, or possibly, If you pluck, you suck, or how about, Why bring the planet closer to oblivion?

He is such a doomsday merchant. The human species, led by white Europeans and Euro-Americans, has been on a 500-year-long planetwide rampage of conquering, plundering, looting, exploiting and polluting the Earth Actually, we've been doing it a lot longer than that, since the end of the last ice age at least. You can follow the path of man round the world and see the mass extinction of prey animals all the way. And then there's deforestation and the damage to land from farming. I'm sure our unbalancing act will end up with a wake up call for our descendants, hope they listen better than we did! The Myth of Human Progress Posted on Jan 13, 2013 By Chris Hedges Clive Hamilton in his âRequiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Changeâ describes a dark relief that comes from accepting that âcatastrophic climate change is virtually certain.â This obliteration of âfalse hopes,â he says, requires an intellectual knowledge and an emotional knowledge. The first is attainable. The second, because it means that those we love, including our children, are almost certainly doomed to insecurity, misery and suffering within a few decades, if not a few years, is much harder to acquire. To emotionally accept impending disaster, to attain the gut-level understanding that the power elite will not respond rationally to the devastation of the ecosystem, is as difficult to accept as our own mortality. The most daunting existential struggle of our time is to ingest this awful truthâintellectually and emotionallyâand continue to resist the forces that are destroying us. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_myth_of_human_progress_20130113/
