Beautiful! Wherever did you get this statement, or is it yours? Can you
point me to a source that speaks of an "Essential Triad"?

And what if TWO of the elements stand alone -- say, existence and
nothingness? Does nothingness count in that instance? Does nothingness count 
anyway?
Can existence be considered a dichotomy of "being" and nothingness?

As you see, you've struck something of vital interest to me and my thesis.
If you can elaborate on this CI concept, you'll find me a willing listener.

Many thanks, Joe.

Essentially yours,
Ham


Hi Ham and all,

The Logic (Language) of Contradictory Identity was first introduced by Scott 
Roberts on the List. For example:

I first heard of LofCI from Scott.

>From Gurdjieff I accepted the law of three: every manifestation is comprised 
of three forces.

Bodvar Skutvik on the list in his analysis of the intellectual level 
produced SOL The Language (logic) of Subject Object. To me that indicated a 
formulation of conscious evolution, and cosmic evolution as proposed by 
Maurice Nicoll in The New Man.

The three terms Essence, Nothingness, Existence were proposed by you.

I am a gadfly, not an original thinker.

Joe
