THE SCULPTURE OF BEING
By Jim Hapax
Being is an ever-shifting sculpture of space and solid,
positive and negative, and we humans enact
presentile and absentile forces on it, one to add new
mould, definition, and “obvious things of existence” ,
and these are the presentile forces, and the other
force to carve away from, to create emptiness,
clarity, and potential - absentile forces.
Thus the sculpture shifts its definitions and
potentials in every dimension. It is impossible that
anyone can see the full sculpture of being, for as we
look upon it, we also look out of it. Everything with
being is being and immersed with it, inside and out.
I was personally rather unfair about the scientific
method, believing it to hoist itself higher than being
itself, to purport itself to be a separate and central
template of how conducts and affairs about the
sculpture of being should be, managed and regulated,
presenting itself as separate from the sculpture,
, while undoubtedly still being part of it. However, I
was wrong.
Good science, in principle, is an absentile process of
dogma, or fake or false discovery of the world. While
its manners are still indifferent to the non-objective,
it is certainly a strong weapon against ‘bad
subjectivity’ or ‘rogue subjectivity’, such as cosmo-
theological theories that the universe began 6,000
years ago, or that homosexuality grants you eternal
damnation.
Of course, you cannot test the scientific method with
the scientific method, because you would have to test
it with itself. But in this sense, science is not a
presentile nature of being at all, not really - but seeks
to absentile certain rigid and superstitious tremors in
the mind. This also means that as a the carving tool
of the principles of science may find itself
comfortable as nestled within the sculpture of being
which it carves, it is also entirely comfortable with
carving itself. And if we look at the evolution of the
practice of science, this is certainly true to many
degrees.
