[UA] The IC, Nature, the Mind and Fringe Science

[R. Menzi]

     Below is a tibbit from an amazon.com review of
one of Rupert Sheldrake's books.  Somewhat relevant
for a sideways angle of approch to introducing the IC
and the recreated universe.  The connection was
swimming around in the back my head, but I that
question of what people belive brought it into the UA
context.  Anyway, it might be interesting to have
people tracking down the IC through the way the world
works.

.... Consequently, he picks on the notion of a "field"
within whose boundaries he presents his case for the
morphogenetic experience and causative formation, not
noticing that this conception itself is designed to
bolster the laws of inertia which are now some three
hundred years old and still unrevoked.

Consequently, he is blind to the role that death plays
in the structure of reality and within morphogenesis
itself, merely noting that dead languages or
unfamiliar languages can be learnt faster than
gobbledegook or invented languages never spoken
before. Furthermore, it suffers from a flaw that was a
criticism of the platonic Forms in that Mr Sheldrake
thinks that new fields arise with the formation of new
ideas. He does not consider that, in the event of a
field existing, it is just as capable of being
switched off!
