The essence of meaning

The essence of meaning is to be in the world as human. It is not to capture (begreifen) or grab the world. The meaning unfolds in the world. It is a feeling of knowing (zu kennen) as a creative expressiv being. Part of this creativity is to feel the essence of the world. This proves itself by what human care about, when we chooses the essential from what is not worth preserving.

Funeisme and big data

Funeisme is the scientific quest of turning the black box white. To reveal everything about the human life by endless descriptions of what is. We have accepted a theory of knowledge that is no longer interested in the essences, but in the informational complexety. Big data is the new oil, but Ireneo Funes died young. This scientific dead end is alien to all earlier thoughts and will expand in all directions. A superficial absolutism without separating the meaningful from the meaningless.

Truth and Mystery

Truth is about what is firm and essential on earth. What is unchangeable is the mystery of the earth. The truth is part of the mystery, or; the mystery is part of the revelation of eternal truth. For instance, the revelation of Pythagorean theorem. By turning the truth away from the firm and essential, we have turned the truth against the mystery of the earth.

The scientific understandig of truth removes the phenomenon from the mystery of the earth, away from revelation and the eternal. The truth is left to describe the changing earth, expressed as probabilities. It is this kind of truth Cioran calls boaring.

Of all times, human as expressed a lot of belives, but not many truths. As more we express, the more infrequent the truth may apear.

Theory is not Alchemy

Jørn Bjerre skriver: ”Denne uddannelsesalkymistiske tanke – at udvikling handler om at smelte teori om til praksis – er igennem hele læreruddannelsens historie blevet brugt til at sætte nytænkning i stå.”

The idea that practice is to do what we in theory is thinking, is an obstacle against new ideas and action. Theory is not alchemy. Theory can not turn lead into gold, bring human into paradise, make human immortal, or turn practice into a unchangeable existence.

Life is

‘Life is not a problem to be mastered or maybe solved
Life is something beautiful to be tempted and evolved

Life is digging ditches while the rain pours slowly down,
or staying in the flow, from your laughter at a clown

Life’s enjoying food while the autumn storms sets in,
or sitting close to fire, the warm sensation on your skin

Life is not to be hunted like a 100 inches deer
to transform it all with words about benefit so clear,
but taken calmly care of, like a drawer with his coal
like these precious little words is soothing for your soul

That’s the way it is,
Nothing more to say
Then you keep your emotions
as the engine of your brain
