Forgive me, but I'm still not sure I understand.
If it's 'non physical', does it interact in any way with the natural world (aka reality)?
If so, why would you consider it 'non physical'?
If it doesn't interact with the natural world, why would you speculate it's existence in the first place? based on what?
Thank you for taking the time to answer, I appreciate it.
Speculation true, in the sense that such could not be read on a meter and must by logic be cognised in the functional imaginatory processes available to an intelligent consciousness such as ours, though the ability to conceive of such possibilities is not necessarily proof of their reality.
However, there is circumstantial evidence to allow for a hypothesis, such as the very fact that birds murmurate in such a fascinating manner.
This could be thought of in the Goethean method of training observation and thought, such as Goethe did with his Metamorphosis of Plants conceptualisation where observation of natural phenomena allows one to build a larger picture of natural functions -- in his case the archetypal plant -- those functions not readily available to the discursive mind, which seeks to apply the principles of primary qualities (Locke) to the processes giving rise to the secondary qualities, yet ends up following Kant and renders both primary and secondary qualities to subjectivity, . However, that is merely a philosophical stance and not a decisive conclusion. And clearly I disagree :)
It's good mental exercise to speculate on higher order functions of organic processes based on patterns and relationships, and my experiences indicate to me that there are non-material energies interacting with the material world. Like life, which my philosophical approach considers prior to material processes.
What do you think the interactive process is allowing flocks these complex coordinated flight patterns? Thanks for the discussion.
Underlying non-physical intelligence, somehow they are all in communication vis a vis their flight patterns... was just speculating.
