All along we are stuck in the paradigm where the mind owns the body, where the mind is seen as whole and the body part.
When we have a body owner paradigm the body is whole and the mind is part.
By flipping the paradigm many problems dissolve. What once were hard problems become easy ones.
When I say “my mind” I no longer mean the owner is that of a souls or spirit but the owner of the mind is the body.
The owner of the mind is the body. I can no longer say my body either.
“Property is theft.”
Universals are without matterspacetime. Particularly obvious is the timeless nature of universals. The fact that “they” are unchanging means they also must not have spatial location, for if they did they would be particulars. And by not being particulars they are without substance.
Universals do not exist in reality.
But “where” then do they reside? To hold a universal is for a matter-body to have such a thought. Universals are a process of the body. Someone or something must hold on to the conceptualization of universals.
When that body ceases to hold those thoughts, it either has forgotten them or has perished.
You do not find universals in reality. They mapped into the reality by a body in reality.
Reality is being, and not be.
Language is not a reflection of reality, but a reflection of our minds and our concepts.
Consider a reality without either matter, space, or time. Such a reality can only ever be a considered reality (conceived) and not be reality as such. We observe the inviolate-ability and interdependence of matterspacetime, both as seeing it and accepting it.
An object that is orange has the property of reflecting all red wavelength and some green wavelength while completely absorbing blue wavelength of light.
Properly speaking, an object is not orange, but has the property of reflecting and absorbing certain wavelengths of light.
Without light this property is not a something to be concerned with.
We often mistake the light for the object.
An object which absorbs all blue light but reflecting all red and one-quarter of green light will produce the sensation an object say is orange.
But let us make it clear—the light is always the same combination of reflected red and green light with the absorption of blue light by an object that makes the object appear to be orange. Nothing materially orange can be found in the orange, and nothing materially orange can be removed from the the object to be its own object “orange”.
All the way down all we find is light or energy.
Is the orange in the complete darkness of my refrigerator still orange?
Does it have a colour, or is it merely a linguistic trick?
There are particulars and the entire set of unique particulars.
Everything in between are universals.
There is nothing more specific to particulars and nothing more general to the set.
All that is necessary for philosophy is the experience of reality. All the answers are there.
