What is attitude to incoherence? Covering up?

We say thought is part of the dance of the mind.

..dance of the mind will affect the brain.

Metaphysical questions affect the brain more than most others because what is true of everything has a powerful affect. Words like always, forever, never, and so on are terribly powerful. They’re used in popular songs because of their power. But they are metaphysical notions.

Therefore, we have to say what is the right attitude to metaphysics. I say metaphysics is part of the process. It’s the dance of the mind. In metaphysics the mind is creatively trying to achieve harmony, but when it gets stuck then it achieves disharmony.


 I should have stated that this is a proposal; not a truth which I am stating. What I have said about all of this is a proposal also into harmony. But just to say I am not putting it as a final truth, but rather it’s the best thing I can see for the time. And that might well be subject to change. We will never get a final — I can’t see us getting a final solution to this question. The dialectical process will go on


 You fold
up a sheet of paper, turn it into a small packet, make cuts
in it, and then unfold it into a pattern.  The parts that
were close in the cuts unfold to be far away.
With an
old-fashioned television set that's not adjusted properly,
the image enfolds into the screen and then can be unfolded
by adjustment.

In classical mechanics, movement or velocity is defined as
the relation between the position now and the position a
short time ago.  What was a short time ago is gone, so you
relate what is to what is not.  This isn't a logical
concept.  In the implicate order you are relating different
frames that are copresent in consciousness.  You're
relating what is to what is.  A moment contains flow or
movement.

That is an example of the implicate order:  Meaning enfolds
the whole world into me, and vice versa-that enfolded
meaning is unfolded as action, through my body and then
through the world.  The word hormone means "messenger,"
that is, a substance carrying some meaning. 
Neurotransmitters carry meaning, and that meaning
profoundly affects the immune system.  This understanding
could be the beginning of a different attitude to mind-and
to life.
