%INCONCEIVABLE 770802
To some of us there are real possibilities which are
inconceivable to us and so tend to be impossible for us.
Our language, experiences, concepts, assumptions, culture,
traditions, biases, prejudices, etc. may make some
possibilities inconceivable and so impossible. It is not
that we consider them, and with regret conclude that they
are not possible. We can not even consider inconceivable
possibilities---they are blocked from consideration. If
their realization depends upon our conception of them,
then they are to us impossible until we become free to
conceive them. Even if their realization does not depend
upon our conception of them, our perception of their
realization may depend upon our being able to conceive
them---and therefore we may be blind to their realization
when it occurs.
The identification of today's inconceivable
possibilities is a difficult task. It involves the
transcendence of the powers which in positive and negative
ways block our ability to conceive new questions, new
answers, new way, new realities. Such powers tend to be
inconceivable themselves---and so hidden from view. They
may be detected only by indirection in terms of their
effects.
The detection of inconceivable possibilities may be
promoted by the consideration of phenomena which baffle
our traditional perceptions to the extent of offending our
traditional sensibilities. Such offense may be a sign of
internal tension between our perceptual framework and the
phenomena which is the occasion for offense. The offense
may be a pointer to inconceivable possibilities---
realities which we through emotional immaturity may fear.
Perception of such realities may require emotional growth,
language development, cultural changes, examination of
assumptions, exposure of biases, new experiences, new
concepts, etc. The blockage perceptions and conceptions
may technical or non-technical.
It is difficult to distinguish between what is
impossible and what was inconceivable but is now
fantasized. We may wish for that which was blocked from
our perception and also continues to be impossible. Making
something conceivable does not automatically make it
possible. The price of any actual realization may be too
high.
