| Our Motto: Turning
Ideas Into Realities
You
may have noticed that in our motto we describe realities as being plural.
Here is a word about that from our master, Robert Anton Wilson:
"Reality"
is a word in the English language which happens to be (a) a noun and
(b) singular. Thinking in the English language (and in cognate Indo-European
languages) therefore subliminally programs us to conceptualize "reality"
as one block-like entity, sort of like a huge New York skyscraper, in
which every part is just another "room" within the same building.
This linguistic program is so pervasive that most people cannot "think"
outside it at all, and when one tries to offer a different perspective
they imagine one is talking gibberish.
The
notion that "reality" is a noun, a solid thing like a brick
or a baseball bat, derives from the evolutionary fact that our nervous
systems normally organize the dance of energy into such block-like "things,"
probably as instant bio-survival cues.
Such
"things," however, dissolve back into energy dances -- processes
or verbs -- when the nervous system is synergized with certain drugs
or transmuted by yogic or shamanic exercises or aided by scientific
instruments. In both mysticism and physics, there is general agreement
that "things" are constructed by our nervous systems and that
"realities" (plural) are better described as systems or bundles
of energy functions.
So
much for "reality" as a noun. The notion that "reality"
is singular, like a hermetically sealed jar, does not jibe with current
scientific findings which, in this century, suggest that "reality"
may better be considered as flowing and meandering, like a river, or
interacting, like a dance or evolving, like life itself.
