Or does the tree of life dream Gaia?
I had an interesting discussion today with a friend. We debated which came first, the Universe or the Idea of the Universe.
If you believe the idea came first then you must consider weather there is a dimension outside our Universe where the idea came from, a Ur-Universe if you will. If you believe the Universe evolved without the idea then you have to consider that our physical world is forming out of nothing. To put it another way, is the base reality of our world thought or concrete matter? And which came first? Before you answer this question for your self, consider that our human minds are thought not matter. Science can look into how the brain works and see all the ion-gates, synapses and neurons...but we have no idea what patterns are flowiing through this 'machine' and how. The contents of our minds is an abstraction, as software is abstraction inside a computer. So, you could say, we are just thoughts. We are Meta. That makes me wonder if we have more in common with our art than our bodies. More in common with dreams than with reality.
So I wrote a poem today which I really liked. And I wanted to do a piece of Art to display it with. I started this piece and it ended up nothing like what I started out to do. As I added each element new potentialities present themselves and before I knew it I was in a very different mode of expression. So I can't show you the poem, Maybe tomorrow.
Oh and one more thing, like the Universe, this piece is not done yet.
cheers
