the world as given
the world of facts
the outside
is one dimensional in the sense that it is present in space and time
what I should do
is to ask a projective question
it is to go beyond the given facts
to think beyond
the given facts cannot therefore provide an answer
they are the basis for the question
but it's the question
the asking
this is a feature of consciousness
(the tree does not ask - the stone is not concerned)
this pins morality as a concern of -
an act of consciousness
the thing is though -
the reason for morality is the world as given
the world of facts
(no facts - no such world - no question)
so any answer to the question - what should I do?
projects - a world of facts
projects a state of affairs
we can't say -
what is - the thing to do -
we say what is the right thing to do - the good thing to do
'right' and 'good'
are not magical terms - or terms with no meaning - they are not 'is' terms
- however they are not
and this is important - non-natural
they are projections
they are as natural as mind - as consciousness
and you will see this unless you want to regard mind as other worldly -
a ridiculous notion
the mind is in the natural world
therefore -
a fact of the world is the projection of consciousness
it - if you like - needs to project in order to function
projection is a purely natural function of consciousness
the language of morality is not language of the given
it is projective language
