this is a workbook -- fun!


the primacy of form
technical scientific introduction to the finding of science and art's own philosopher's stone.


All manifest being consists in elementary particles, these constitute the evident evidence of being, which itself consists in the evident evidence of itself

where the different substances and elements only differ in the different forms and arrangements of elemental particles....  

Mineral particles become life in their reformation into  double helixes, or lead becomes gold in the mere rearrangement of photons electrons and neutrons.  The number of particles changes for each element, but the exact same number and type of particles can be rearranged to create totally different elements.  

One may say that sub-atomic particles and molecules are different from entities like chairs and human bodies, that they constitute matter, but are not matter, but then, if so, what is matter?  Scientifically speaking, matter may look different to us from atomic particles, but matter still consists in and is nothing other than those particles and in their different arrangements. 

What you see is what you get, but what you measure and weigh is not what you get.  Measurement and weight do not exist. (See website called the theory of relativity in words of four letters or less)  Something is bigger or smaller than something else, nothing is big or small, as everybody now knows, but still people dote on the quantifiable, and all the thinkers in the world, I will argue, have nothing more to add to, but just more to obfuscate our understanding of what it is we are dealing with by being beings and when indicated, how to take the reins and where they are..  

Form cannot be quantified, it is known through vision and other senses.  You know it in identifying with it, and the act of doing so -- the bridge is a wedge -- affirms without exaggerating your difference from it --   

a difference in form that is concommitantly and inseparably a difference in substance -- same particles or things, different atomic structures or forms.

Every philosophy known and respected overlooks what the philosophy is talking about, overlooks the bottom line discernible nature of each thing or idea each word sentence paragraph document represents -- not form or substance, but form/substance or being as arrangement -- - each element and compound a miraculous transubstantiation of the same particulate matter.  

Ignoring, tantamount to denying, this essential self-evident, irreducible actuality and all that it implies, and implicitly or explicitly basing everything said on something else or, more likely, aggressively asserting the lack of any basis whatsoever, what the whole of the philosophy represents amounts to some monstrous hodgehodge that is easy to believe just happened by chance, evolved stronger, sharper, meaner, faster to survive and win as it pushed out a form that could cobble up a teetering scaffold to get a view of its horrible self from above, just as it found many masks to justify itself in the overwhelming pride of having so strenuously crawled up to a view slightly above itself -- a reason to live and deify oneself and species above the common dregs of being.   

All this derives from not attending to the first premise, what everyday actually experienced things and ideas --  ideas or memes mirror the nature of things quite perfectly --  do these words signify?  

The particles of which we consist as much as hover in the Star Trek transporter -- this more than a mere metaphor more accurately illuminates reality than any venerated philosophy, ALL of which is relatively if not absolutely out of touch with it -- 

until, beaming down, we take form and become what we are, life or mere matter, gold or lead, where what we are determines what we can and cannot do.   It might even determine what we will do.  It certainly deeply affects how we do it.  

It is lowdown home wisdom and popular psychology become pretty irrefutable scientific data based theory that in identifying with a practice, we automatically perform in it with all of our being.   Effortlessness begins to win over effort.  As when a Stradivarius almost plays itself, or a BMW almost drives itself before being programmed to do that.   

Popular psychology frees an ego to pursue its own transcendence for  egotistical or maybe rarely other reasons or empowers superhuman altruistic feats for whatever reason just by noting that whatever you convince yourself you are you start to become it, and everybody sane applies common sense to these practices, including monitoring the difference between what they want to believe and what they are able to believe about themselves.  

Here we not only encourage identifying with something one probably wishes to be -- good beautiful and true -- however veiled that wish might be, but with what actually is, the good beautiful and true itself, or optimized form -- in both the limits and capacities that form allows, demanding the efforts and inspiration needed to create and reveal it.

East West North South face the center and move toward this convergence since the first dispersal of humanity.  The Middle East is the Middle East and the Middle West is the Middle West, but all roads lead to the Middle Middle.  All roads lead to Rome, well, actually, to Florence, the only city recognized by official psychiatry as a dangerous vortex whose art (form, the primal category) systematically stripped of all exterior criteria repeatedly drives people stark raving mad -- that is, sane.  

Trembling, swooning, or fainting before these consummate works of pure art built on the bones and long of the gospel tooth, people become briefly disabled until they shake off the effect, which they must do as soon as possible, because the perception that threw them off the given tracks would keep derailing them.  

At the center of this vortex lies what throws of all other criteria but that of truth itself, science and art's own philosopher's stone.

There is a rebirth and an image of rebirth. It is certainly necessary to be reborn through the image of Resurrection. The image must rise again through the image. The bridal chamber and the image must enter through the image into the truth: this is the restoration. This power the apostles called "the right and the left."  

(Gnostic) Gospel of Philip, Codex II, 3
