MYSTERIOUS AMBASSADOR: And how do
you measure that? A measuring device is
an imposed rigid frame. This
imposed rigid frame of your world, is employed as the reference
for measuring both position and
motion. But if you measure the position you can‟t measure
the motion, and if you measure
the motion, you can‟t measure the position. If one of your
good police officers were to stop
me as I was coming here and ask, “Do you know what
incredible speed you were going
at?” I would say no, but I do know where I am. (Laughs
uproariously. No
one else laughs)
EUGENE: Glad you are amused.
MYSTERIOUS AMBASSADOR: Look, there is no such thing as a rigid frame in nature,
only a continuously transforming
energy distribution. You in the macro world have equipped
your anthropocentric eyes which
are also ego-centric eyes with lenses that impose a rigid
reference frame that does not exist in nature.
The subtext of what I am saying
is that there has been a
curettage of certainty. Out of
this comes the principle of indeterminacy. That is correct, I‟m
arguing for what you might term a „new belief
system‟; the religion of uncertainty
MYSTERIOUS AMBASSADOR: When you look up at the stars you are looking at the past.
This is not some airy-fairy
abstraction but a vital and inescapable aspect of your world. The
star is there and I am here is an
exaggerated example of you are there and I am here. The
same principles apply even as I
am looking at you...
.
MYSTERIOUS AMBASSADOR: There is
no such thing as now. Even as I look at you
„You‟ have changed since the
light that now reaches my eye was reflected off you. I see you
as you were slightly in the past.
I use „past‟ as an accommodating convenience, for there is no
such thing as „time‟. I am in accord with Mr
Einstein on that.
MYSTERIOUS AMBASSADOR: In my view you have no „thisness‟ and in my view you
should stop wasting your time
looking for this „essence‟. For the „essence; of „subject, self, I‟
„reality, is impenetrable and you
should stop seeking it. So many more interesting things to
do.
