I remember back in the last century, watching a programme, and there was a very brief reference to the Druze, stating that they read all the spiritual and religious works of the world, proceeding from this background according to some kind of spiritual synthesis characteristic of them.
I liked them a lot, on the basis of what I saw.
This century, when they came up, probably through a Facebook link to an article, I discovered that they originated from India, and from Vedanta, which I thought was interesting.
If God is an attempt to approximate explanatory conceptualisations, as Stephen says, is that relation reciprocal, are explanatory conceptualisations attempts to approximate God? If that’s the case, then conceptuality and the divine are caught up in a structures of mutual approximation, proceeding according to asymptotic shifts towards identity coincidence.
Ultimately, the theoretical scenario involved, is a Platonist delimitation, according to the figure of the idea.
One can rise up beyond the play of asymptotic shiftings and mutual approximations, seeing that all of these occur according to ‘frames of reference’. The entire realm of metric determinations arises through duality, dualisation (dual eyes), the theoretical assumption of a changeless point of determination from which to produce cultures of measurement, of the other elements and tendencies of change, distinguishable from the changeless point, according to the opposition of change/non-change.
However, the selection of framing is arbitrary, anything can fulfil the function of ‘changeless point’; likewise, anything can fulfil the roles of elements and tendencies of change. The production of all of these occurs through application of available epistemological possibilities, and is contingent upon those.
The epistemology occurs through initial acceptance or assumption of instrumental duality. Due to the preponderance of instrumentality and its habits, other theoretical possibilities become obscure, due to lack of the necessary practices and developments constituting the shared basis of clear communication.
