Future: Looking into the Void - Arthur Sherman
Date: 5 June 2010
10am - 12.30pm
Chair: Pauline Martin
‘It is absolutely amazing how little most people reflect on numinous objects.’ C.G. Jung
‘Each fact is internally related to its future.’
‘Take away the future and the present collapses.’ A.N.Whitehead
‘The present is the past, dreaming is the present, a void is the future.’ Hindu scripture
Our interest in psychological past and psychological present is founded on an abiding assumption of psychological future. Is future so difficult to look at and speak of because of its numinosity---blindingly obvious? In speaking we say more than we know, in thinking we think more than we think, in surviving we are always more than surviving. Is this ‘more than’ the only future we know when looking into the void, the subject becoming object, the future becoming subject? That is, from this ‘known’ do we construe our survival? Is future perhaps one of the self's ultimate symbols, or hallucination? These are some of the questions I shall be reflecting on and discussing.
