Ideas And Matter Are The Same

There is this old Taoist story, about a sidewalk seller of goldfish. He sits there every day, has done for years and years since the guy telling the story has been a young child - but he (the person telling the story) can never recall the man ever having sold any fish.

And so of course one day he (the man telling the story) wonders - well, but how does this old man keep doing this? He makes no money from selling the fish and sure, every now and then someone throws him a small coin...

Eventually he goes up to the old guy sitting there with his face well-hidden under his large hat - and looks inside the two buckets, one on either side.

Two fish that do not move.

One bucket has silver-colored fish and the other bucket has golden-colored fish. And they seem to be headed one side in this direction, while the other side has them seeming to swim in the opposite direction. Except they are not moving at all; they are there in suspended animation in crystal clear water that is also completely still.

He reaches downwards and dips a finger into the water, but yes, it is water.

The fish do not move. Nothing is moving. That is why the old man sells no fish.

End of story.

Ideas and matter - material things - are the same composite substance. They are just in different boundary state conditions.

Material things seem to move but in reality they do not move as much as ideas are able to move - they are gelled up, and form around shapes and densities and discrete kind: liquid, gas, fiber, mineral, metal, rock.

I mean they are just shoes!

Ideas are like the Egyptian pyramid - they are all composed more or less of the same or similar substances, but they line up underneath each other, in strata from purest to least pure in mathematical order.

What is 'mathematical order' itself if not an idea? It is an Eternal Form. One of several though not limitless ones.

What gives things the semblance of 'limitlessness' is iteration - which is another one of the pure Eternal Forms.

Inferior thinkers always ask 'what is energy? Isn't energy necessarily different from matter?'

No. Energy is an effect of the Universal Field, which itself is the highest Eternal Form stretched out and in which there is dynamic tension.

The Eternal Forms have no meaningful real resistance applicable against them and can move freely throughout the Universal Field. The Universal Field is therefore the container of them all.

However the Eternal Forms can and do have partial resistance against them when wells of dense conditional boundary state places appear in what you can say is the grid or matrix of the Universal Field (some location in the Field; but not of the Field).

This is just wine...

While most religious systems propose that there is some ultimate superior one single thing, or identity, or substance, or intelligence that is 'better' than every other thing and rules everything, this is not correct. There is only one whole and complete thing - of which intrinsically as the identity of the thing itself, there are a number of other necessary things present each of which is inexorably linked and literally part of the whole and its substance.

Thus, 'the Holy Spirit' is when some human person, merely thinks in exactly the same way as the Eternal Forms and the Universal Field does. Harmony is one of the Eternal Forms. 

And so the absolute link between human and deity is Harmony.

A material thing which is obvious to your senses does not last forever.

An idea though, does or can do and it also can 'disappear' and then re-appear.

The problem for people who cannot abide this description is that they are able to perform no practical examples in which the power of their own explanations out-gun the power of the Eternal Forms when some human harmonizes their thinking with those.

The fuel for performing miraculous actions in the material world, is the answer to the basic question: 'Why are things attracted?' 

It is a very fundamental thing.

Remind me one day to make a movie 'Fundamental Instinct' though. Though then again...

Maybe not.

I am not interested in changing the world here.
