Sabbatical

I’m announcing here an extended sabbatical from blogging so that I can concentrate on a question that’s been haunting me lately:

Would a better understanding of the unity of mind and nature speak at all to how we might better live in this world? And, specifically, what would it say about learning?

This is a huge question. I am literate in several areas, but a rank novice in others. For starters, I expect to traipse across the nature of time; the quantum enigma; Goethe’s way of science; Bohm on wholeness; Buddhist concepts of time-being and mind-nature; the Batesons on the epistemology of the sacred; Wittgenstein’s investigation of language.

Sounds far out doesn’t it? Definitely. But so much fun, even if nothing comes of it.

I’ll be lost in the confusion of learning and thinking for a long time I expect. Hence the sabbatical. I’m afraid that if I tried to write blogs throughout this process, that they might be totally inarticulate. When I have something that seems worth saying, I’ll write again.

If anyone has any suggestions about source materials, I would be very grateful for your recommendations.

Thanks, Gary
