Mmmm-mmm scotch.
You’ve got me thinking in several different direction--it’s nice, thank you!
I can be quite stubborn too. But when I think about, I feel that this might be fairly ubiquitous--like part of a human being might be. Of course, I haven’t met nearly anyone, compared to all the people on the world, but I seem to feel that people can be stubborn in many different ways, and each one displays this in their own pattern.
Pattern--like personalities, I suppose. And perceptions. Patterns of seeing, thinking, feeling, acting, and etc.. One empty pattern unfolding into an infinite self-similar pattern. But yes, the limits of this. In cultivating the ability and discipline to become, as you say, an "applied schizophrenic," each role or personality appears as a finite patter--each is distinct. But (I feel you mean this more metaphorically, so excuse a more literal reading), how can it be "a crazy person"? It seems to me that to anchor a sense of sanity to any singular or finite group of patterns is a judgment or assessment from an attachment to that pattern(s). Thus, it misses out on a part of order within chaos: that of self-similarity/self-reference with respect to an unfolding empty pattern. In other words, it defines a sense of sanity at the exclusion of itself, but is itself all things.
And BAM! We hit a contradiction/singularity/generator. So there is something to be said for integration. Although I do feel that this too would eventually get us to a similar sort of phenomen... |
