Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Now I don't have any citations handy, but I've heard this said: As seen from the waking state: in the waking state, time is present and space is present. In the dream state, however, time is present but space is not present. Time seems to be the harder one to "kick." Space is sublated first. --Greg At 02:36 PM 6/1/2004 -0400, Benjamin wrote: >Also, nobody really answered my reason for saying that space is more >of an illusion than time is, but that's OK... > >Hari Om! >Benjamin > > > > > >Discussion of Shankara's Advaita Vedanta Philosophy of nonseparablity of Atman and Brahman. >Advaitin List Archives available at: http://www.eScribe.com/culture/advaitin/ >To Post a message send an email to : advaitin >Messages Archived at: advaitin/messages > > > Links > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Namaste Sri Sadananda, When you begin the study of science you don't replicate the history of cosmological thinking such as 'all is air/fire/or a mixture of the elements and neither do you begin with the uncertainty principle or the notion of quantum locality. Most likely you take off from the middle of recieved common sense and whether you like it or not there is implicit in that philosophical attitudes and doctrines. I think it is not too fanciful to suggest that when you dig deep to discover the structure of your knowledge you will discover the Lockean type assumptions which underpin the scientific paradigm of knowledge. There is no tabula rasa (clean slate) as Locke made out; sensations, qualities, shapes, textures etc arrive on to a conceptual schema which can be both learned and structural. My point - you don't have to have heard of Locke to be Lockean any more than you need know about Keynes to be a market forces economist, things just naturally arrange themselves into those, as you suppose, natural patterns. Best Wishes, Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
