This is a talk on Personal Integration. Scholars in the past have split the examination of knowledge into three parts: ontological, concerned with the things that are sensed; logical, concerned with the thoughts that we have about these things, or the ‘thinks’ of the things; and the third has been humorously called ‘moral’. Moral means how to keep the walls up in any system whatever, including a human being.i.e. “that which enables one to hold oneself together.” Eugene draws a hand as a mnemonic and places these on the fingers: ontological on the little finger, logical on the index finger, the ‘action upon the thing’ on the ring finger, the will on the thumb, and the ‘word’ on the middle finger, because the word is the mediator. “The word is the sound symbol which you use an act of will to signify a thing upon which you intend to act in some manner, formally, to change the situation.” This gives five operations: a will to think of a word, to control an action on a body. In ancient times, the ‘will’ and the ‘word’ were kept as sacred, religious concepts and not advertised
“In the beginning was the word.” In Genesis: “And God said:” “The word ‘light’ signified to the Ancients…understanding, comprehension, seeing reality as it is.”
(He now draws the hand as an animal, walking, the head represented by the extended, middle finger, the ‘word’.) The word is the ‘logos’, which means ‘ratio’ and dialectical structures because it contains L, ‘lambda’ and G, ‘gamma’. Lambda =intelligence=light and gamma means the content of that intelligence. There is Absolute subject, pure consciousness (S) and the predicate is always implied in the subject (S=Pnth) but (S=Pnth+S) Why? Because the predicate can never exhaust the subject. “Because when we predicate, when we say something rationally, we abstract from total reality.” Total reality is always more than we can abstract from it.
