So simply by not assuming we are the pinnacle of creation and acknowledging that, for example, a dog really does have more accurate smelling ability and an eagle a greater ability to see, and imagining what that would mean for us or keeping that in mind, we come to an appreciation of ourselves as a part of Nature, not a ruler of Nature; just as in our understandings of the realities-subjectivities-feelings of other humans led us to know that we are not rulers of other people; just as our understanding of other cultures have led us to know that one culture is not better, superior to, or more dominant over another.

The conclusions from all this understanding is that our sciences are important in establishing facts and reality, but the ones they come up with are only relative to our species, not necessarily to any other species, and not necessarily do they give us a true idea of What Really Is.

Scientific Arrogance Is Laughable

You think this is irrelevant to know? Well, to give just one example, think of all our forays into space and our imaginings of other beings from other than this planet. If you take the perspective that I am encouraging here, you will notice how astoundinglyโ€ฆ

True Knowledge Begins Exactly Where Arrogance Ends

But, you say, how can we do that? How can we know the way another being or life form, other than human, might view Reality? We cannot. But the point is we are more likely to come up with something truer than what we already know when we at least try to do that. And trying to do that means starting with dropping the presupposition, the arrogance, that humans have a superior and more real understanding of Reality. And when we do that, simply that alone, we already find we have a much expanded understanding of what is really Real. For even what we are able to know about other species shows us some of the ways they see things differently than us. So simply by not assuming we are the pinnacle of creationโ€ฆ

Biological Transcendence

It follows that to understand truth beyond our biologically  constituted realities ... to be able to get an idea of what reality  might be for entities and life in general and not just humans, we  would need to stand inside a paradigm of understanding that would  apply to all species โ€” both known and unknown. We would need  to take a stance on the foundation of a trans-species perspective โ€”  that is, what is true for all species, not just humans. This is what  science says it is attempting to do, but it actually does not. Because  we have found that sciences can only look in areas that we as  humans ahead of time have an idea that something might be. In  other words, science is an extension of our senses. So to do more,  we have to expand our imagination to include what might be the  perspectives of other species ... other planetmates. This is what we  our doing with our planetmate consciousness ... our Planetmateโ€ฆ

โ€ฆculture to be able to truly view the world through the lenses or worldview of those born into another culture. 

However, here again, we can have a better understanding of each culture and can even compare cultures somewhat when coming from the perspective of our common human biology. For all cultures have to relate to the nature of our body and its abilities, senses, and capabilities. All cultures make constructions about, around, and from the particular biological frame that humans have, so cultures can be compared at least in relation to those commonalities of humans. This means more than just that cultures can be compared in relation to biological realities like birth and death, for it is even important and instructive to compare them to more basic realities of human biology such as pain, pleasure, happiness, liberty, and so on. All humans feel and have concepts about these things. However, we see how non-absolute these realities are as soon as we look at the realities or consciousness of life forms other than human. Can we truly say that a lizard has a concept about liberty or happiness? Can we say that an amoeba or bacteria feels freedom or the lack of it.

We find that in doing this reversal, some startling things are revealed. To begin, from the perspective of each greater awareness, each more limited perspective becomes understandable and the different ones of those perspectives can be compared. For example, it is difficult for one individual to truly understand another. However, standing within a knowledge of psychology in general we have a better understanding of another and we can compare one individualโ€™s reality with another and come up with meaningful and true conclusions, even comparisons and evaluations. That is, indeed, why we have the science of psychology in the first place.

But at the level of cultures, a similar thing happens. Anthropologists come necessarily to the conclusion that another culture cannot truly be understood by someone standing in a different culture. Just as one individual cannot exactly understand anotherโ€™s reality, it is even more impossible for someone from oneโ€ฆ

When this is reversed by various methods, and the brain is itself inhibited from its task of reducing awareness so that โ€œMind at Large seeps past the no longer watertight valve, all kinds of biologically useless things start to happen.โ€ โ€“  Aldous Huxley

โ€œBiologically Useless Things Start to Happenโ€

Our sciences have led us to learn that what we call reality is what we have found to be useful for us as a species, but that it is not necessarily what is True and is certainly not all that is true or real. So we find that the Reality of It All or the All That Is gets reduced down from what it is to the snippet of it that we have found to be biologically useful.

But if we wish to know not merely what is practical but what is actually True or Reality, we need to go way beyond the smattering of facts thrown up by our ordinary senses and the sciences that are extensions of them. There are levels of that diminution of Reality โ€” from All That Is down through what the individual knows to be true. So to know what is True, we need to reverse those reductions in true understanding.

Our Knowledge Is Useful, Not Revelatory

Our combined efforts in psychology, physics, biology, and anthropology have led us to an impasse. We have been led to conclude that our view of reality is symbolic. We have learned, above all, not what to know, but that we know not ... that is to say, that we are incapable of truly knowing.

So, if we cannot know, why then bother to know anything? We seek to know because it is useful to our biological survival to know. That which we โ€œknow,โ€ in our most refined science and in our daily lives, is that which is, or has been, in some way useful to the biological existence of our species.

"Each one of us is potentially Mind at Large. Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe. But in so far as we are animals, our business is at all costs to survive. To make biological survival possible, Mind at Large has to be funneled through the reducing valve of the brain and nervous system. What comes out at the other end is a measly trickle of the kind of consciousness which will help us to stay alive on the surface of this  particular planet."

We will see shortly that means that the way we come into the world โ€” our conception, womb life, and birth โ€” create the foundations upon which all our other perceptions are built, and these being unique to humans mean that humans will be the only species seeing the world exactly the way we do.

Further, while focusing on our biology as a basis for understanding what is fundamental about humanness, we are able to compare cultures in relation to that biology, though not in any other way. What we will see this means is that while we cannot compare cultures for the most part โ€” this is called cultural relativity โ€” we can compare them in terms of certain things all cultures share which have to do with the fact that all humans have the same kind of body and biological history: An example of that would be the way cultures deal with birth, specifically the pain of it.

Only by Leaving Can a Fish Know It Lives in Water: Biologically Constituted Realities Summary and A Call to  End Scienceโ€™s Culture War

Biologically Constituted Realities Summary

What I am saying here in Part One, โ€œReality, Human and Otherwise โ€” Biologically Constituted Realitiesโ€ is that basically our sciences have shown they cannot determine what is real, let alone measure it, because they are extensions of our senses which are themselves imperfect. So we cannot really know what is real. Further, we find that just as culture creates our reality for us, that prior to that our biology creates the reality upon which culture can build. This means that we are able to understand what is human reality at least, though not ultimate reality, by looking at the only reality that all humans share โ€” our biological one.
