Geo Mobus\u2019 post on his blog \u201cQuestion Everything\u201d, on \u201cWhere is the Economy Going<\/a>\u201d left little to question but that the choices for the physical economic system we\u2019ve called home for a couple centuries is either down or faster down. <\/em><\/p>\n

It does seem true enough, comparing the beliefs that led us to our present global impasse, and deep denial of how different the present physical world really is from those beliefs. But there are also other questions. This is a response to the ideas of \u201cGaryA\u201d and \u201cFlorifulgurator\u201d yesterday, about other things to do than cling to our dead end.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>_______<\/p>\n

Good questions\u2026. The idea of a \u201cmass sea change of some kind\u201d, a religion that\u2019s not a religion\u2026\u201dimmersion rather than separation with nature\u201d is something that could be curiously hidden in plain sight.<\/p>\n

It might be a matter of becoming part of nature\u2019s intelligence as a physical act, as a way to overcome our flawed mental constructs of how nature works. Immersion seems to help, but is easily derailed by the our habit of converting the physical subjects studied into theories, and so losing sight of the originals.<\/p>\n

That only seems avoided by leaving your theories incomplete, and finding a way to retain the questions you wouldn\u2019t have had time to explore, the openings to unexplored paths in the road map.<\/p>\n

You see the other solutions to the growth problem demonstrated all the time that way. They\u2019re in the deep mystery of the natural systems that grow explosively to a point at which they change form, and mature to perfection instead of ripping themselves to pieces or disrupting and depleting their environments.<\/p>\n

The catch is not that how they do it can\u2019t be studied well enough to imitate. It\u2019s needing to keep the open questions as you go, and getting lost if you strip them away to make things more explicable. If you can maintain your contact with and curiosity about the physical subjects themselves in that way, not reducing them to images, one can watch where the net energy goes that gives natural systems their self-steering capability.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d need to find a community of people curious about the possibility of looking to the physical world for the \u201ctrue religion\u201d and for not finding it in just a more ethereal images. You could say it\u2019s in \u201cthe unending meditation\u201d of \u201cbeing here\u201d if that softens the jolt a bit.<\/p>\n

It seems to involve separating our information and cultural realities from the independent realities of their physical subjects, in order to fully enjoy the richness of useful questions nature\u2019s physical intelligence raises, and to give our rich mental experience a more reliable connection.<\/p>\n

That double step of separating our mental realities from our physical ones, leading to a better way to connect them, makes most everyone I know turn and run, though\u2026 That\u2019s a bit of a problem. It\u2019s the subject I write about though, and find a minute growing audience for.<\/p>\n
