General Epistemology
THIRD PART: METAPHYSICS
III-1 Consequences of the two previous parts: Metaphysic.
Without taboos, we are free to speak about metaphysic. The existence of our material universe can only result from metaphysical facts, and not the contrary.
III-2 Imaginary numbers: To build an existing house with bricks which does not exist.
Recall about imaginary numbers and how they are used to build existing things with things that does not exist.
Even in mathematics, one can never demonstrate something in an absolute way. Everything exists only in relation with an indemonstrable basis, which often contains a paradox. Such a situation allows us for a creative freedom. Examples.
III-4 What does «to exist» mean?
To generalize the previous chapter to our material universe, them to all universes, which can all be interpreted as a logical chain of causes and effects, able to generate a «space» and a «time» completely equivalent to ours.
III-5 Do matter and universe really exist?
The basic mistake of science is to define all that exist as what one can observe with sensory organs. So one cannot understand why this observable universe does «exist», why it is «concrete» when others should be «abstract». What does mean «matter» in the modern physic point of view. Criticism of naïve physic, of positivism. How do the sensory organs work, leading to the feeling of «concrete existence». Peculiarly nasty death delivery to the notion of absolute material existence.
A series of postulates. A consciousness existing in another «abstract» universe can be conscious as us and experience the same «concrete reality» as us, thus demonstrating that our universe is also a logical self-generated system no more «real» than another. Levels of reality. Stable existence of our universe.
III-7 Concrete test: and if we go and see?
Without any physical mean to test our hypothesis, we must try to find a mean to observe what may happen in other universes. Consciousness experiments may produce such a mean. A crazy and messy experiment. A wiser Tibetan experiment.
III-8 Generalizing: physical universes, psychical universes, conscious principle.
As well as physical universes can exist (recall) it can exist psychical universes. Nature of the conscious principle, without supposing something mysterious which explains all. Psychophysical universes©.
Il existe différentes sortes de phénomènes qui sont des processus d'autogénération logique. Certains sont purement logiques, comme un programme d'ordinateur. D'autres sont la conscience, qui peut parfois exister dans des états spéciaux. l'étude de ces états peut démontrer la théorie, et mener à des applications fantastiques.
Parapsychological facts, if they exist, get a rational explanation through this theory, as well as being a valid proof of it. So it is scientifically correct to undertake an objective study of them. If we consider the consequences in terms of happiness and even of life, it is all the more humanly very important to study them. Such facts also make firm the existence of an immaterial conscious principle, against the scientistic reductionistic view.
III-11 Does anybody have his own individual truth?
One can admit that various peoples may have different ways to perceive
and apprehend the world. Such differences can be shared among us all.
But we cannot admit that «everyone have his own truth»!
