Eigenwelt as a Quantum Hybrid

The Orthodox Christian has forms tautological/axiomatic comprising the Scriptures, the Creeds, and the Testimony of the Church (Saints and Fathers.) The actual world where one lives, moves, and has being (cf. Acts 17:28) in a 'space' likely to be radically different from the world presented in the Axioms.


This means that we have a formal system with narrow categories, a 'fauna with two forms, a dragon and a unicorn' from which we have to christen a non-conforming world. This is a quantum resonance hybrid model par excellence. Thus we have quantum logic to aid us in this betimes harrowing protocol.

Our job becomes one of reclaiming/redeeming our world from the seeming paradox thus presented. An imaginable exemplar would be the GI in Viet Nam whose job is to store bombs, and at Christmas season having to listen to a radio blaring Christmas carols and other holiday music. Keeping with this seasonal/holiday message, a parallel condition exists for the 'normal' Christian who must try to process something sacred out of a religious holiday which in secularity seems to contradict the core religious intent. A third example-- pertaining to my condition-- thus presented last in this paragraph-- would be the Christian subject to psychosis who must transform profound religiosity from its formal elements into the seeming 'Welt' appearing as heresy-- the 'normal world and its medications.'

I call the paradoxical message of the Axioms a 'music': I want to improvise an acceptable 'dance' to the music. Someday then I shall be able to say, "I believe; helpest thou my unbelief" (cf. Mark 9:24.)

This for me is a PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION-- a matter of taking the manure 'ore' of my profane reality and transforming it into acceptable compost (not gold, as the alchemists claim) but a 'psychology' [soul-talk] as C.G. Jung would have it.

Thus, let me work to redeem my Welt (Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt) as a Christian product amenable to The Axioms!!!
