HAND.jpg (18083 bytes)The only thing that is lacking in this world, is the way home. And that entails Ending the Age of Dead-End-Technology and Begin the Age of Meaningful Life-Fulfillment. This cultural Redesign implies purposeful forms such as the symbols to be be able to communicate to that end and all the technical and organizational systems humans have built in reality to be reframed accordingly. This is requiring to start with the primary building blocks for what is useful in everything man-made and recognize it was either created by a Creator or evolved through various processes from mot basic Creations. It seem man is capable to create his own virtual reality in his mind beyond that within his neuronal substrate. Again there is a question as to what/who triggers those virtual building blocks, e.g. the onset of our hunches, thoughts and feelings. The fact is, we can and unavoidable will thereby give meaning to what is and we have to bear the consequence of doing so. That brings us to the underlying substantiality, which when given meaning changes reality. This happens in any technical device; its design gives a certain meaning to certain laws of physics as the players of an orchestra do via their instruments. Then the question arise which "note sheets" have to be redesigned so that the orchestra plays "better"....

Animals cope in their innate meaningful and sustainable way with their environment. However, man's relationship to the world is fragile! Often it is not clear who really rules; the one with the symbols of the ruler, or the one that seems to be ruled, or neither of them at all. Humans can seek orientation beyond life, to cope in their self-made, now threatened world. Most seek it in the world itself and its trends, some turn to higher authorities, others find it in factual reality, as if that could be the cause of the tangible reality's ever changing shapes and shadows...

Conventional science has focused on modeling the tangible reality of the world and man's possibilities within it. It studies what can be perceived and measured, and not what is, impacts and creates. This reduces us to dealing with closed systems. Both our experience and modern physics show that closed systems are limited and limiting to such a degree that they lead to an increase of entropy, the scientific expression for disorder, and thus become self-destructive. Conventional science is based on information the human mind can manipulate, rather than on finding orientation about how to live meaningfully. Cultivating our need for manipulation without developing our need to express and sustain meaning, leads to chaos. To the same degree as that happens in such cultures based on thinking catastrophes, what is, among others real people, become irrelevant . But to then conclude that life and the universe are paradoxical just because we have started with a paradoxical mental framework is actually the dead-end of conventional science! It produces the end-technology that now threatens to bring humanity to an end, at ever more increasing speed. Modern Science opened the door to making use of physical energy and up to where it can generate global consequences. More and more people thus got access to more and more energy up to the point of endangering life on earth. This is a disturbing fact from which conventional science cannot save us. It can at best inform us by what principles the symptoms spread.
