Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 The basic problem of the human being is that he wants to see the whole picture, both the phenomenal picture and the non-phenomenal picture, with his limited intellect. It's like a little screw wanting to know the whole machine. Heisenberg, who originally stated the principle of indeterminacy,says "The very attempt to conjure up a picture of elementary particles and think of them in visual terms is wholly to misinterpret them." But that is precisely what the human intellect wants to do. The human intellect wants to find out. And in trying to find out, it creates problems. So, until the human intellect accepts that all it can do is to go along with nature, the human intellect will never be able to understand nature. And that is at the level of phenomenality. So how can the human intellect hope to see the source from which this phenomenal world has arisen? Conversations with Ramesh S.
