Beyond concepts

The world of concepts detaching from the reality that had seemingly been its origin, is not the end. When retreating totally from the world of concepts, a link to reality remains, there is a potentiality in the concepts that is still effective in giving future place in the world. As in Pauli’s dreams, concepts from modern physics are not simply describing something actual (the configuration of particles), but are also describing a journey of the spirit.

In what follows in my personal story there is also an understanding about the use of concepts in science in general and especially modern physics.

In the telling of my journey using the same conceptual parameters as modern physics or in Pauli’s dreams providing the framework for his spiritual journey, something essential is being touched upon. There is clearly some other avenue open to the way concepts are used in physics that takes one into, rather than away from, the light of one’s human presence.

There is a dimension of darkness, of the unknown and of mystery, into which we can drop, where chance is the guide of a way, journey, process of individuation. This dimension of darkness is transparent to the relating of events of chance to illuminate a composite path of possibility for those who enter. The domain of possibility one enters in surrendering one’s own certainty relies on a possibility and chance, not yet evident, to realise the illumination of a unity that lives in the happening.

There is something more basic in the relatedness of concepts that can guide the being to express finiteness with regard to wholeness. These concepts are not about thought prescribing for the world a predictable form; they are about the actuality of experience arriving at the far shore of existence.

The freedom of concepts is in their ability to mediate the knowing of meaning against the challenge of emptiness. So the true concept, elicited from the book of nature most skilfully, has within it both the key to destruction and the way to meaning. The concept mediates the world that destroys itself and thus obliterates the richness of experience, or the world stands as whole realisation of meaning through the concept.

The focus of happening has to reside between the zero and the one, able to reference both the zero of the east, and the one of existence of the Greeks. The only way to do this is to experience the zero of the east in the relation to one of the Christian God and the unity of matter inherited from the Greeks.
