And, yes, do read Darwin...it is, as you might have guessed, about nature's intelligence--and our fractal existence... stuff to ponder.

I finally dug out an old email from my friend Jean Detheux and found this very interesting interview:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.madhattersreview.com/issue4/interview_detheux.shtml" REL="nofollow">Mad Hatter Interview</A><BR/><BR/>Well, it's an interesting interview, but what is REALLY INTERESTING is Jean's animated art. Absolutely unique. We have 'abstract music', abstract painting, but only NATURALISTIC MOVIES/FILMS. Why have all film makers got stuck with imitating 'real life' ONLY? OK, there might be some psychedelic or whatever exceptions, but the rule rules: nothing but people and conventional plots.<BR/><BR/>Now, take a break from your busy tour and look at Jean's calming and/or exciting videos.suwedenjinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634349410511313952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-16613483918319766672008-07-14T00:54:00.000-07:002008-07-14T00:54:00.000-07:00...

I got it... :) yes, a living and thinking universe in all aspects of things.... a fractal universe, wondrous and magical because we will never know it all. And we don't need to ... and yet, perhaps on some level we DO "know" it already... in my upcoming book, "Splintered Universe" I dealve in all of this, about --verses in a fractal sort-of parallel existence. You'd like the book.<BR/><BR/>p.s. when--IF-- I ever get 3 hours to spare, I'll certainly look up the mini-series.<BR/><BR/>Nina (the Kanada-jin)Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-16496707897054900632008-07-13T15:09:00.000-07:002008-07-13T15:09:00.000-07:00"A living and thing universe"should of course have..."A living and thing universe"<BR/><BR/>should of course have been<BR/><BR/>A living and thinking universe<BR/><BR/>Sloppy Swede!suwedenjinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634349410511313952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-66250392732084558412008-07-13T15:07:00.000-07:002008-07-13T15:07:00.000-07:00Hello again,Charity?!?!

So you got the Sweden part right: a person from Sweden. Looking at your profile I can tell that you are a Kanadajin, i.e. a person from Canada - or Canada-Person if you prefer - and so on. Still no prize :-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, "The Physics of Angels" is one - ahem - hell of a book title. I read a few pages on Amazon.com and it sure would be nice to have a copy. OTH, I am currently reading a "trialogue" between Sheldrake and two other mind benders. It's called "Chaos, Creativity and Cosmic Consciousness". Very wild and interesting stuff. In case you want to look go to amazon via http://tinyurl.com/5cajr9.<BR/><BR/>Nice that you have the Elegant Book. In case you have three hours to spend looking at the mini series made from the book go to <BR/><BR/>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html<BR/><BR/>Greene is not only an inventive physicist, fantastic author but also a great "TV host". Very entertaining with spectacular special effects. Almost like SF! :-)<BR/><BR/> <I>... of interconnectedness and "intelligence" in all things ...</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, I think that's right on the spot.

Oh, you said there wasn't one... ah well... <BR/><BR/>As for Greene's Elegant Universe, I have the book and had begun to read it. Fascinating, isn't it? I agree that Rupert Sheldrake is a courageous fellow...this stuff is risky for a scientist to pursue (reputation-wise) so I give him much credit in following the intuitive side of himself. We definitely need more of that kind of imagination in science. Yes, I love the titles he comes up with...The Physics of Angels... NEAT!...The Inner Life of Atoms and Molecules... hmmm, suggestive of "living" of fractal existence... of interconnectedness and "intelligence" in all things... and harkens back to some of the ancient Eastern teachings and those of our own native First Nations peoples...Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-71059166922183045902008-07-13T00:10:00.000-07:002008-07-13T00:10:00.000-07:00Thanks for your reply, SF-girl.Now, I have looked ...Thanks for your reply, SF-girl.<BR/><BR/>Now, I have looked more closely and read the article in Quest Magazine. His one hell of a brave guy, this Rupert!<BR/><BR/>I've had a quartet of conversations between Sheldrake and Ken Wilber on my computer for several weeks but I am a reading person, not very good at listening on long (phone recorded) tapes .... <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.kenwilber.com/blog/show/431" REL="nofollow">"The Inner Life of Atoms and Molecules."</A>is a rather neat title, isn't it??<BR/><BR/>Talking about the inner life of particles: Have you had time or opportunity to watch the TV-ification of Brian Greene's "An Elegant Universe"? If not, do it! His two books are amazing in terms of explaining science - physics - to us not very familiar with stuff like that. Not that I am <B>totally</B> ignorant - since I read some Quantum Physics Explained (for Dummies) Books in the 80's - but it's such a rapid development in this area, that it's hard to keep up.<BR/><BR/>Just a note on the translations offered from the neat widget: The good news are that your blog is translated into acceptable Japanese - tonari no gaikokujin - even if it is more like a foreigner coming from another country 国. 外人 (gaijin) also means foreigner, but doesn't put the same emphasis on COUNTRY. <BR/><BR/>The bad news are that the rest of the translation is more than funny :-) It breaks apart in the end of the headline (金曜日機能) where Friday (金曜日) is correct, but the feature part (機能) is NOT what you had in mind: "function" of a machine or organism! The correct word for (a news, article etc.) feature is most likely 特別記事。("likely" since I don't have access to my dictionary right now). Now you can send your complaint to Google :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW: I missed an "n" in suwedeNjin when I signed the previous comment. Now when you learned about various "jins" in Japanese you can perhaps guess what SUWEDEN-jin means? No prize, though.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://suwedenjin.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">suwedenjin</A>suwedenjinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634349410511313952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-67302092077801651212008-07-12T16:56:00.000-07:002008-07-12T16:56:00.000-07:00You're welcome to the template and stuff, Suwedeji...You're welcome to the template and stuff, Suwedejin...

Metaphysics and science still grate among most in both camps and seemingly do not wish to mix...but somewhere in that mele, a dance has begun. And it's an interesting one...Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-38448890107700351152007-12-14T12:43:00.000-08:002007-12-14T12:43:00.000-08:00A fine post full of intelligent theories to consid...A fine post full of intelligent theories to consider.
