Thank you for your thoughts. Metaphysics are "the first principals of things". The two extremes are Plato's thought that the forms, archetypes are beyond human experience, and Kant's theory that only the experiential is real. My position connects the two extremes (as mediators are likely to do) and I assert that "the first principals of things" must include the physics of our experience in this universe as one with all the other knowing allowed to us. I maintain that our experiential understanding is intrically interwoven with the Forms and Archetypes, ie. one with but not equal to, of the same essence, but not the absolute same as the totality. In depth philosophy the ice is as thin as in depth psychology. We must walk carefully, but we must walk. Thank you, my friend.
