Mysticism

In a mystic viewpoint of reality, there is no duality. This thinking runs in seeming direct opposition to the SOM thinking, but we will show that because the universe is probabilistic, the opposition between Logical Positivist (SOM) and mystics is really at a 90 degreeness to each other.



Mystic Model of Reality

Here we have a model of reality according the the mystic viewpoint. Inside the two circles is contained all awareness of reality, while outside lies all the unknowns we are unaware of. There is a basic unity to reality, yet because of the way we interact with events at a 90 degreeness instead of an action/reaction 180 degreeness, the mystic model seems to better accomodate observed reality in terms of subjective perceptions, or in terms of the observer being unable to separate from the object being observed, than does the SOM model.

In the mystic model, both subject and object are dependent upon one another for existence, which is clearly shown.

In the mystic model, many problems that exist in SOM disappear. There is no longer a multiple-minimum problem as multiple structures do indeed exist within reality, as the mystic model shows very clearly. But we have no framework into which we can place our knowledge of the universe around us.

It is confined within the model itself, leaving the observer to deal with what is by its very nature, a chaotic universal mess!

By incorporating the mystic model into a model for MoQ, we are again solving many problems inherent in the mystic model. We are not making it better, but we are expanding our awareness by putting it into a conceptual tool for learning, just as MoQ is not better than SOM, but rather an expanded view of it.
