UNCERTAINTY

well, i am relatively certain that in my current mood uncertainty is just fine with me. however i pose that in another mood it would be completely unacceptable. with this in mind we can certainly say that uncertainty is constant. but then again there are concepts that should remain patently certain all of the time. for instance simple math should remain constant. will 2+2 ever equal 5?. I am sure (or not quite sure) that some theoretical physicist could explain that 2+2 does in fact equal 5 and also that lee harvey oswald had to have done it based on the earth's rotation. but things are certain enough for planes to fly (usually), flowers to grow each season, and water to boil at a certain temperature. but these are not absolute in the ultimate. at some point all laws may cease to exist.

CAUSALITY

it is interesting to observe a cause and then the effect. but maybe more interesting to to see the effect before the cause. this seems a paradox but my belief is that there are different laws at a subatomic level than at our everyday level (newtonian level). the yogi, not the scientist may better help us with this paradox. the yogi has attuned his consciousness to other states of awareness -- states where time does not exist at all. and without time it would then be completely feasible for a cause and an effect to exist simultaneously. and at some point an observer may direct his attention to an effect before he notices the cause.

WEIRD

well me being somewhat of an authority on this subject i can certainly comment. everything is weird if viewed from a rigid perspective. when i was a young lad i thought raw fish was as about as weird as it could get -- my perspective was limited. i did not realize that food i ate everyday could be strangely bizarre to someone unaccustomed to it. eggs? unhatched chicken embryos? it even seems weird to me! weird = unfamiliarity. so the universe is not so weird.
