Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01016)

Hi John
I must admit that I struggle with theological treatise especially those that use parabels etc for elucidation.  Even though I don't get all the scientific data, I found his (Dobsons) theories to be understandable and saw a lot of what HPB said concerning the Universe.  I believe it is these sidewalk astronomers that are the true visionaries.  I was wondering if Dobson and Leon are on the same page, but as I said I am unable to compare as Leon's ABC Theory is still as yet not assimilated as a working model by my limited brain function.  My mind says YES, but my brain says CANNOT COMPUTE!    

Cheers
Cass

            Cass,

   Thanks for the Dobson post and comments. You know when I was reading the 

various segments I had the thought that certain dialogues he made in what you 

posted was very familiar to me and it wasn't Astronomical and it tickled me and 

I wondered if Dobson might have been reading over my shoulder lol! At any 

rate I will put a Dobson excerpt that stimulated it all and then links and you 

can make your own comparison.



>>That problem was handled by some ancient physicists whose word for the



Universe was Jagat, The changing. But they were smart enough to see that since



change is seen against the changeless, there must be something underlying the



changing Universe that is not in space and time, and therefore undivided,



infinite, and changeless. There question then was: "How do we see



change?" And they said, "It can only be by mistake." So they



studied mistakes, and they said that if one mistakes a rope for a snake, the



length and diameter of the rope must show in the snake. That is, the 

undivided,



the infinite and the changeless must show in our physics. That might explain



gravity, electricity, and inertia. But why, if we see a duality or a 

plurality,



doesn¢t the undividedness show through and shut it down? Perhaps it is



because we see an electrical duality within a gravitational plurality, and 

they



keep each other up. This wouldn¢t be interesting, of course, if it didn¢t 

show



up this way in our physics, but it does. <<



>>If the changeless didn¢t show through in our physics, we wouldn¢t have



inertia. If the infinite didn¢t show through, we wouldn¢t have electricity.



And if the undivided didn¢t show through, we wouldn¢t have gravity and the



attraction between opposites. Also, if the duality didn¢t keep up the



plurality, we wouldn¢t have the atomic table. And if the plurality didn¢t



keep up the duality, we wouldn¢t have atoms at all. That¢s how I see it.<<
