Induction:
1. Admission to an institution.
2. Knowledge of general laws gained through experience of particulars.
3. The production of an electromagnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body.

In the beginning was the Word...

...He said, "Let there be Light," and there was Light....
...
How you are fallen
from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! ...You said in your heart, 'I
will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on
high...
Light. The Positive. Yang.

The
First Communion is Baptism - induction into the church by washing away
the primordial sins of independent Being and Knowing – the sins of our
Exile from Eden through partaking in Forbidden Fruit. Exile through our primordial communion with Other.
Communion is being one with god. In Christianity
this is through partaking in the blood and body of Christ. It is carnal
knowledge of the Logos Incarnate. So that we can give ourselves
over to God and become one Mind, one Spirit, one Body. To release our finitude in Infinity. To relinquish our subjectivity to Other. To return to Eden.
The Miracle is Creation. But Creation is the communion of Male and Female.
Abrahamic
Monotheism recognizes only the Male: the Presence, the Light, the
Exposition. It denies the Female: the Absence, the Dark, the Mystery.
Western
science and engineering in general, and logical positivism in
particular, is the ultimate expression of monotheistic metaphysics. It
exposes all. It conquers, controls and recreates nature in the image of
Man's Will. It explicitly aims to destroy all mysteries and
metaphysics. To uncover all, to completely eliminate all subject and
thereby expose the pure Object. And it thus Decides all in binary,
digital, mechanical, automated, external, artificial intelligence. The Pure Intellect. It
is the Cult of Other. The Cult of Man. The Fetish of the Phallus. It
is the triumph of Pure Ego as Super-Ego. It is the superiority complex
sprung from the fear of the unknown – fear of the Feminine and loathing
of the inferior Self. It is re-creation of the male through subjugation and denial of the female. It is the creation of god in Man's Image. It is Hubris.
The Tao is Yin and Yang. Complementarity of Opposites. Dynamism of Figure and Ground. Affirmation of Both.
Buddhism is Neutrality. Freedom through Dynamic Stasis. Mutual cancellation of opposition. Affirmation of Neither.
Selflessness in Christianity and Buddhism
The
Selflessness of Christianity is exclusive and authoritarian. You are
Chosen or not. It is the denial of subjectivity in favor of the
Ultimate Other. It is communion in the complete denial of subjective
identity and thus of consistency. It is the forlorn love of the abandoned child. It is Image Worship without Love.
The
Selflessness of Buddhism is inclusive and empowering. You choose
yourself. It is the affirmation of self and other in the recognition of
common subjectivity. It is communion in consistent incompleteness. Is
the mutual love of an equal friendship. It is Love without image or Worship.
Buddhism may be the anti-religion. The freedom of transcendental immanence. Now.
In this Life. The religion of Being Self. The religion of Knowing,
Believing and Being Nothing. The Presence of Absence and Absence of
Presence. All and Nothing. Of being full because of being empty. The
fertility of Openness. The Way of Becoming.
Induction....
Logos
