In Search of Hidden Meanings

We have already talked extensively about meaning and we have argued that the meaning of Meaning is the essence of everything, and that existence oscillates between Meaning and non-Meaning. Meaning allows for intention, and intention creates a pathway towards a final meaning, an Omega-point of all meaningfulness.

Nevertheless, the path of Intention is never clear, rather it is chronically obscured by possibility and distraction, as well as by the opaque nature of Meaning itself.

Meaning is therefore always enigmatic and elusive. It is shy (like Nietzsche’s Truth) and carefully guards its form. Looking for it, one can easily stumble on an ersatz form of it. Likewise, it is easy to manufacture substitutes for it – meanings that can support an intention rather than finding the intentions that came from the meaning.

To uncover Meaning and meanings, it is necessary, however, to investigate the essence of intentionality.

When we talk of Meaning (with a capital M) we refer to the meaning of everything – which is the meaning of the universe. To find this Meaning we must examine the universe’s intentionality. This can only be done by speculating on cosmological facts (all intentionality can only be understood speculatively – and to have any claim to veracity that speculation has to be based on a speculation based upon scientifically verified data).

Intentionality has its horizons, but to find Meaning we must develop our investigations in a way that allows us to see beyond those horizons. Objectivity can only be achieved by elevating our view in order to see beyond the normal perspective of vision. The same is true of time as well as spatial dimensions. There are both future and past horizons to see beyond, as well as lateral horizons that inhibit our understanding of the present. Just as all intentions have horizons they are equally all susceptible to uncovering.
