![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To whom would you open your deepest reality? To which approach would you be most likely to reveal your authentic nature? Would you open most deeply to the suitor-the epistemology, the way of knowing-who approached you as though you were essentially lacking in intelligence or purpose, as though you had no interior dimension to speak of, no spiritual capacity or value who thus saw you as fundamentally inferior to himself (let us give the two suitors, not entirely arbitrarily, the traditional masculine gender) who related to you as though your existence were valuable primarily to the extent that he could develop and exploit your resources to satisfy his various needs and whose motivation for knowing you was ultimately driven by a desire for increased intellectual mastery, predictive certainty, and efficient control over you for his own self-enhancement? And imagine that you are being approached by two different epistemologies-two suitors, as it were–who seek to know you. But for the purposes of this thought experiment, let us imagine that you are not the disenchanted mechanistic universe of conventional modern cosmology, but rather a deep-souled, subtly mysterious cosmos of great spiritual beauty and creative intelligence. Imagine, for a moment, that you are the universe. ![]()
