Some refer to Grandpierre’s “spiritual” as the "intelligence" side of existence and refer to the physical universe as the "nature" side of existence — the intelligence side creating and perpetuating the nature side. The mind creating the universe with humans straddling the two as the focal point, for what it's worth.
Some refer to Grandpierre’s “spiritual” as the "intelligence" side of existence and refer to the physical universe as the "nature" side of existence — the intelligence side creating and perpetuating the nature side. The mind creating the universe with humans straddling the two as the focal point, for what it's worth. Very interesting insight, Consort. It seems to come close to Dr. Grandpierre's own view. In a private communication, he wrote:
"In my opinion, "Universe" (with capital letter) refers to material+vital+noetic universe; "universe" [with no capital letter] refers only to the material universe; and Cosmos is in deep relation to the Universe, in its concept, the relations, the order, the beauty and the moral world order are emphasized. Therefore, although life is substantially (but not completely) outside of (material) space and time, it is not outside of Cosmos, and not outside of the Universe, but [only] outside of the universe."
