We would like
to borrow a
concept from the
late Rod
Serling.
It is the word
SIGNPOST.
But instead
of a signpost to
the Twilight Zone,
our signpost
will point to
MEANING.
|
|
|
Signpost is a
great word.
It is a symbol
or sign pointing
to something
else. The
signpost doesn't
point to itself
for that would
be absurd
leading to
nowhere.
The signpost
points to an
ultimate place
and destination outside
itself. |
|
|
In the computer world
the icon points to a
software program which
provides a certain
function: click on the
icon and Microsoft Word
opens. The icon
isn't the software
itself, but simply
signposts to the
software. The icon
by design points to
something larger than
itself.
|
|
|
Our mission is to
discover the signposts
to meaning. What
are the signposts to
meaning? The
analogy of the jigsaw
puzzle illustrates the
point. |
|
|
Any
single piece of jigsaw
puzzle fits into place
within the big-picture.
It can be a piece of
sky, a piece of ocean or
perhaps a piece of
earth. Alone the
jigsaw piece loses its
meaning. Not until
fitted inside the
big-picture does the
piece reveal its meaning. |
|
|
Are human beings piece
of the big-picture?
If the jigsaw pieces point to
the big-picture of
meaning, particulars to
universals, matter to
form, hardware to
software, brain to mind,
and stars to galaxy;
what do homo sapiens
point to if anything? |
|
|
Modern man and woman, we
argue, unconsciously search for
order, symmetry and meaning with every word,
thought and action.
But what is meaning?
What is the big-picture?
That is what
Technoprophecy
is all about. |
|
|
Think of every word of
Technoprophecy
as part of a sentence as
part of a paragraph as
part of a chapter as
part of a story.
Words like pieces of a
jigsaw puzzle create
the big-picture of the
story wherein the
story's meaning
unfolds for the reader. |
|
|
Everything
that makes up the cosmos
(total theoretical number of atoms
in the universe =
1 X 1079 atoms) is a
subset of the
big-picture pointing to
meaning. |
|
|
A
signpost therefore
points to something
bigger than itself.
That something in turn
points to something even
bigger until it finally
points to the
fundamental something -
the big-picture called
meaning. |
