*** The Symbolic World

With Matthieu Pageau we discuss symbolism in the creation story told in Genesis and how it relates to consciousness, the problem of self-reference and how true symbolism usually appears in a fractal structure of microcosms and macrocosm.
The problem of science and rationality is that by emphasizing materiality and reason it often struggles with the paradox of self-reference and self-causality, just as it struggles with the problem of the justification for hierarchical structures of value. These two issues are related through the fact of consciousness and self-awareness. Though science struggles to include the consciousness of the viewer in its general calculation, this is something that is done very well in traditional cosmologies through a series of self-replicating patterns which are embedded into each other somewhat like a fractal pattern.
(*0da15217*):: Taking a cue from the first few minutes of this video, I reworded a little of what Jonathan was saying
The Trinity is a Self-referential loop, in the sense that ultimate authority cannot appeal outside itself for justification, or ultimate reality cannot be dependent on anything else.
As the God moves out into the world, He creates a coherent structure of representation.
Therefore at the beginning of all things (including reason and logic) there is a self-referential loop. The skeptic is a skeptic because he seeks to avoid this inevitability.
