Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra – Knowledge ‘out there’ since over 30 years

I just found this book again in a used bookshop and, in case you did not read into it, yet, I recommend it highly…What also struck me was that it was first published in 1975. – My deepest respect to Fritjof Capra (http://www.fritjofcapra.net/).

This is from Chapter 2 Knowing and Seeing:

…The natural world, on the other hand, is one of infinite varieties and complexities, a multidimensional world which contains no straight lines or completely regular shapes, where things do not happen in sequences, but all together; a world where—as modern physics tells us—even empty space is curved. It is clear that our abstract system of conceptual thinking can never describe or understand this reality completely. In thinking about the world we are faced with the same kind of problem as the cartographer who tries to cover the curved face of the Earth with a sequence of plane maps. We can only expect an approximate representation of reality from such a procedure, and all rational knowledge is therefore necessarily limited.

Reflections

What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization?

Derrick Jensen

I already posted something on him, but I thought you might just enjoy a talk…

Call the problem ‘Civilization’

Do you believe that this culture is going to undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living?
What if you live in the most destructive culture ever to exist?
What if that culture refuses to change?
What do you do about it?

‘When he was on trial for his life in Jerusalem part of Adolf Eichmanns defense was that nobody had ever told him that what he was doing is wrong…’

These are questions and a statement by Derrick Jensen, author of Endgame, The Culture of Make Believe, and A Language Older than Words.
Personally I suggest: Read Endgame II – it will clarify your point of view or make you realize that you had none.

http://www.derrickjensen.org – info, his books…
http://www.endgame.org – great research site

for the german readers who made it up to here:
Sein letztes Buch (Endgame II) heisst: Das Ökomanifest und ihr findet es hier.

Sharing info on mushrooms/mycelium

The mycelium infuses all landscapes, it holds soils together, it’s extremely tenacious. This holds up to 30,000 times its mass. They’re the grand molecular disassemblers of nature — the soil magicians. They generate the humus soils across the land masses of Earth. We have now discovered that there is a multi-directional transfer of nutrients between plants, mitigated by the mcyelium — so the mycelium is the mother that is giving nutrients from alder and birch trees to hemlocks, cedars and Douglas firs.

About what we have been taught

Enjoy this quite profound, elaborate and challenging information, which could be summed up by the following statement:

Reductionism is dead!

- and, well, reductionism is what our science is based on, is the way we perceive and think is based on -

We are at its funeral right now. …

So welcome to a new…year!…
