Of course, the whole is often described as 'the sum of the parts', but
without an understanding of the whole, how would one know, if there
was nothing to compare it with? Denial of the whole is a common
reaction, and yet our group and individual "search engine" is
constantly ticking.
How could anyone possibly know what the brain was, if only pieces were
found? How can anybody understand life by the same reasoning, whether
here or on some distant planet?
If there were "holistic" answers, what would it take for the seeker to
find them?
By constantly dissecting?
It is only when imagination is consciously activated (as Einstein
clearly appreciated), to 'imagine' what the 'whole' is, can one start
to piece together.This is where information mutates to confirmation.
I know this sounds like the construction of fantasy, but it is
absolutely not.
It happens 'unconsciously' of course, where it is referred to as gut
feelings, inspiration or intuition', but there comes a time in each
persons life, that curiosity of the source of such stimulus overtakes
the very subject matter being searched.The search always was and
always will be about self awareness.
This stage is known as spiritual awakening.Spiritual is a holistic
description, but is often looked at through the eyes of religious
dissectors, chasing 'bits'.And we all know how 'bits' collide and the
net result .At least that is, when dark matter is understood.
To play with words, Hawking now talks of 'imaginary time' His
discovery stopped at 'black-hole-istic'. "One small step for a
cosmologist-one huge leap for his "I".
