Man and His Isims... in the Social Imagination ~ Part Two!

If you read over the list posted yesterday, I am sure you can find yourself among the isims. How fun, right? What is funny, most people will think that their isim isn't an isim or isn't a problem for someone else or should not be listed among those 'others'; because, theirs is the right one.  Man is always trying to explain himself and his existence. However, its more than that.

Man is trying to identify with something/someone greater than man and man is trying to escape the world around him because it smells of decay ... or entropy to say the least. And, he cannot agree with what he sees because something in him tells him different. What is that? Something in every man tells him that death and decay are a lie or that such inevitable breakdown of his reality is a waste.

Eternity is what makes more sense. The eternal flame 'light' that never languishes. This is much more agreeable to man. Now, for the man who knows the source of that truth that lies within his soul, there is no need for isims. Though one may argue that absolutism is seeking a truth that must be true in all places and in every moment. Why not... it seems to fit with non-locality* and the double silt particle experiment*.

Let's look at eternity. It is anti entropy ... its the quality of eternal light and why not. How much sense does eternal darkness make and could we even imagine it??? Its the one thing we could all agree on and certainly what we all desire to agree on, seek to agree on and are even determined to agree on. But, something seems to get in the way of such agreement.

What is that? Its isims. Excuses for our inability to agree on the one thing that we could all agree on. And, if we do, then what. Yes, then what? Well, that is a problem and our isims perpetuate such a problem. The problem is if we agree then what is the source of such agreement. After all, agreement on anything means that there is a source of information from which our agreement flows.

Of course, over the years, many have agreed on this or that isim even puffing themselves up because of their agreement. But, it was only their agreement on an idea that had and has nothing to do with the truth what they truly seek to agree on.  Even as I write this, I think that people hang onto their isims out of the desperation to agree and the desperation of fighting a losing battle with entropy.

If only they could agree on the truth of all reality the battle would be won...and the isims would halt for what purpose would they serve?




* ~ In theoretical physics, quantum nonlocality is a characteristic of some measurements made at a microscopic level that contradict the assumptions of local realism found in classical mechanics. Moreover, quantum nonlocality is a property of the universe that is independent of our description of nature. That sounds like a 'truth' that cannot be subjected to untruth and for me that is an absolute. 

* ~ In modern physics, the double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles;
