     When  a  child  grasps  a  new  reality  the    child
instinctively seeks a wide variety of perceptions  of that
reality; touching,  tasting, hitting, shaking, turning and
viewing.   Only  by apprehending  the  new reality  in all
these various ways does the child gain a full awareness of
it.  Each way  gives a differing perspective of the nature
of the new reality.

     When  a  person has an awareness of a new reality and
wishes  that self and other might have a mutual  awareness
of  that  reality---an  analogous  process  is  essential.
Through open and honest dialogue it  may  be  possible  to
develop  a  mutual  awareness  of the new  reality.    The
dialogue  will involve a strange language  appropriate  to
the  new reality.  It will involve attempts at pointing to
realities  corresponding to the differing perspectives  of
the new reality.

     Pointing  to realities will often NOT involve logical
arguments, especially if the realities are NOT essentially
logical in nature. If the self finds the other not free to
see the new reality, logical arguments will be of no avail
in  efforts to help the other receive the  freedom to  see
the new reality.  At best self can point to the reality as
well  as  possible  from  the perspective of the other. If
self is unaware of the state of consciousness of the other
this is difficult if not impossible.  The best that can be
done  in  such a case is to offer for consideration a wide
variety of pointing to reality  in the hope that the other
may be moved to at least look in that direction.   In such
a case it  is inevitable that there will be redundancy and
repetition. Yet without such  redundancy  and repetition a
full appreciation of the reality may not develop.

     In order for scientists and  non-scientists  to  help
each  other  gain  a  mutual  awareness  of  and  a mutual
understanding of each other and  the  broader  reality  in
which  they participate,  it will be necessary for them to
call to each other's attention that which they perceive as
real and as worthy of their finite attention.
