I agree, Ed, and thanks for the observation. I have read Zajonc’s books and recommend them. He is evolving a physics of qualities and is someone to watch out for. The book you mentioned is a pragmatic manual of how to train awareness to tune into the subtle ranges of our senses and this overlaps considerably with Wolfgang Smith’s project. He is a radically Platonist Physicist. A similar research is conducted by Dr. Ibrahim Karim, an architect using ancient Egyptian Temple Science to develop a physics of qualities . When I have finished his books I can make a recommnedation to the Cafe.
Modernism is mired within wobbly Cartesian assumptions, setting the stage for an AI fiasco, a wave of alienated robots replacing us, spawning nihilistic thought forms that have locked us into an abiotic, anti-rhythmic system . Coomunicating alternatives is not easy. And this impasse has turned rapidly into what might become another world war. The good news is that the news is so bad more people might be open to change their outlook. Look what has happened in Germany this last year. It makes you dizzy.
During this time of collapse, I’m looking for thinkers who have, like Bernardo and McClintock , crossed the line, and created different maps for newer territories. This is what Steiner embodied in his program of Spiritual Research over a century ago . I’m hopeful that our small salon can amplify and intensify what these thinkers are bringing forth and can resonate with a vast undeground movement. If we are lucky we can obsolesce a deadly physicalist paradigm which has blocked our human human intelligence for a long time. A Physics of Qualities which Wolfgang outlines could be of use in this struggle but I don’t insist. I’ve ordered his recent book and will do a report. Matt Segal in this skilled interview gives Wolfgang a chance to articulate a Neo-Platonic vision. By the way, I’m open to reading the McClintock bio orany of the Zajonc books. I want to study people who have crossed over and broken the rigid boundaries established by the physicialist, reductive mind. A new way of knowing our Being is happening already. This is a pivotal moment in human history. Let’s make the most of this rare opportunity.
