"When people trapped in their deductive minds use
the word 'dualism' they are usually referring to
a mistaken belief that they have, that magicians
believe there is one material universe full of
kickable things, and there is also a second,
different, spook alternate reality, connected to
this one by silver cords or whatever. That makes
two universes (they figure), so they say the
magicians are 'dualists' - believers in two
universes. Of course the magicians believe no
such thing. Instead they believe that there is
this, single material universe, which contains
kickable things that are arranged in patterns
which are also found in this material universe.
Where else could they be? The magicians believe
that the patterns are 'more material than
material itself' - that the patterns govern the
kickables to the extent that the kickables are
like shadows of the patterns, and the material
properties of the material universe are found in
the patterns rather than the superficial
kickables. It's because the people trapped in
their deductive minds can't see the patterns that
they assume the magicians are talking about...
like... somewhere else."
Pattern recognition, folks. It's found in the
patterns.
I wonder how many magicians there are. From where
I sit looks like most of 'em are in hiding.
More.
