World Soul

[9/6]

The world soul is, perhaps, better expressed as monopsychism, but here I wish to speak of our connection with the world soul.

I start from the Wheeler-Feynman notion of the One Electron Universe. IOW, the reason for the identity of electrons, and other elementary particles, is that there is only one of each. The universal electron appears multifariously, because it is actually just circulating in time. In the W-F theory, it is bouncing back and forth in time. According to the Dirac theory of the electron, the positron is an electron moving backward in time. That would require that there appear to be equal amounts of matter and antimatter. But on the circulatory, CTC, closed timelike curve, the same electron can just be recirculating in the closed-loop, Ouroboric world.

As a practicing/professional idealist, I don't wish to give too much air-time to things atomic. But I will, as often, be most appreciative of the our physicist genii, who provide us with such wonderful metaphysical metaphors.

It is not sufficient to say that you and I are chips off the old Block. We are the old Block, or each of us is timesharing the once cosmic Monad, which is recirculating through us. There is only one soul. Thus is redemption guaranteed.

The world, then, is a tapestry. Our recirculating soul is the warp, and the world is the woof. This is Indra's net, or Indra's necklace where each pearl is reflected in all the others. There is also the panoptic version of Indra, where we are each of her myriad eyes.
