A Greg and Lindsey and Marcus and Sitara Production
A Poet’s Theory of Knowledge
A two-tanka series inspired by connection to the collective consciousness
Glancing at Lori’s (Ravyne Hawke) random words Saturday prompt for this week, just having read Matthew’s Carl Jung, and the realm of knowing beyond knowing with Sitara (Lindsey) reading over my shoulder, a Depeche Mode YouTube list loop pedaling (ode to Joseph Lieungh), in an aha moment (bridge to Dr Mehmet Yildiz) we knew I had instantly visualized the entire 10-chess-moves poem in our mind’s eye even though I didn’t prove it till I opened up jules - Miz Mindful’s “Be Mindful” creative cauldron and chicken scrawled it into physicality. That’s a big bang!!
Marcus invites you Take shelter in our ideas Endorse you need not Solve many situations Virtue of awakened mind
Today’s position Hiccups spill forth from your gut Notice the remarks Introduce new path to truth That’s a healthy addiction
A Few Author’s Notes
- A couple of days ago I published
Matthew’s essay:
In a famous quote from an interview with the BBC the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung was asked if he believed in God, he responded “Now? It’s difficult to answer… I know… I don’t need to believe, I know”…Science by necessity limits kinds of personal or subjective truth or knowledge, allows us to only speak of truth as the empirical….However, Jung clearly, like many others recognised that such an approach is not enough. To build an entire worldview on such an epistemology is shallow, if not impossible. Beyond this is a realm where other kinds of truth must be encountered…Clearly science has its profound use when it comes to forms of knowledge, but it is also not enough to integrate us into a meaningful world of truth. There must be a place for us to step out of analytical reasoning as a way to truth, and find that strange place that Jung cannot quite call ‘belief’.
I commented:
I wish I had read this before I published the other day my essay calling for the marriage of science, spirituality and philosophy. … I may go back in and add references to your piece or I may build a shorter follow up piece citing and quoting yours.
This is the latter.
