[owl of Minerva]

This ancient conversation about motion took place before “In the beginning was the and the Word was with God and the Word was God.”

In light of this new insight, if infinity, a part of which vibrates creating sound, which creates waves which are vibrating fields, it is only that which vibrates that creates motion and is in motion. Motion in turn creating a trinity of fields, consisting of the Ideational; (magnetic field), energy; electrical field, elements; (elemental field). The elemental field is the only field visible and accessible to the five senses. The organs of sense connecting the objects of sense through sense consciousness. This could be perceived as dual without actually being dual.

Then wherein lies the illusion? It is likely that the illusion is perceiving the finite as external to the Infinite rather than internal; contained within It. There cannot be anything external to the infinite, as it would not be infinite if there were. If the concept of finitude is just that, a concept, not an actuality, that is the illusion. The finite being manifest is its finitude, if its vibration; motion ceased; not vibrate, it would cease to exist.

It would be interesting to think of the ancients processing today’s perspective, They might wonder what vibrates, what is vibration, or what is a field. We in turn might wonder if, as in the physical world; our visible elemental universe, where there is a macroscopic universe with microscopic entities if the same holds true for all fields? A multiverse of at least three modes, one for each vibrating field, each predating the other. A science fiction fantasy, or possibly credible scientific fact?

"I have the list. A Mr. Tim at 9:10 AM," said Karen. "Lemme see," Saul wanted to check for himself. "It's not Mr. Tim, it's Mr. Tom," clarified Saul. "I don't think so Saul. It's Tim," Karen protested. "Nope, it's Tom," Saul was adamant. "Tim", "Tom", "Tim", "Tom", the back and forth showed no signs of terminating ... "Hello, is this Dr. Henle's clinic?" a voice inquired. "Yes," Saul answered. "Hi, I'm Tam, I have an appointment."

[owl of Minerva]

Where reason fails intuition works. For the many until the real shows up, in the fullness of time, it is a tossup.

Then they are smacked in the face with it. Reality that is. Always there. Always waiting. Ready to arrive, to be admitted into comprehension when the mind settles down.
