new discovery of theoretical math that connected up via a long and emotionally challenging process with twenty years of zen. it seems that i have had an insight into the root as it it were and the role of mathematics as a descriptive language that is amazingly flexible and clear and am now in hot pursuit of solving the theory of everything or t.o.e. by inventing a new math borrowing concepts from einstein and dogen (13th century zen master). i had an underlying insight connection in my early days of dogen study and put together a missing link for me that connected the zen stuff to the way stuff is, etc...
recently, while playing around with some strange loop stuff of godel (heavy math dude; not heavy in the since of physical mass but heavy in the sense of contribution to the field) and a little discussion of calculus in the kitchen with my roomie some consciousness shift happened and all of sudden i am playing the best chess of my life, whipping my best friend who in the last twenty plus years, i have lost far more than i have won. as it is, i identify some shift in my understanding of what math is and what it describes. as i am learning to focus on this nebulus "nature of mathematics" thing, i find that whatever it is that math describes and what zen points to through it's own sort of methodological pedagogy of realization and enjoying life along the way makes sense to me in a more tangible and applied way that i find is functioning as a golden key that i am taking out for an intellectual and have fun make more money sort of a spin.
in addition to math and physics stuff, there are a couple of other areas that i want to invest more energy. a big one for me is education. as it has taken me 40 years of observation and learning and teaching to start to figure some stuff out, it seems that we can change the pedagogy, curriculua and structure and methods of teaching and learning. the other area that i am uncovering some understanding about is in the areas of schitzophrenia and adhd and other such occurences. i think there is some misunderstanding as to what is going on there and i have some insights. i am a baby in the research phases of all of these fields but i have some new underpinning insights that i am honing.
anyway, nuff 4 now.
