To Stop the Hardening

Kaluza-Klein (Invisible Architecture III) by Dawn Meson


Gallery: Dawn Meson
by Raven Hanna

From cave paintings of bison to Monet landscapes, artists have studied and interpreted the natural world. Dawn Neal Meson, a San Francisco artist, has taken this theme one level further, or, rather, many orders of magnitude smaller.

The subjects of Sum Over Histories, Meson's latest series of acrylic paintings, feature aspects of nature at the particle physics level: colliding electrons, multidimensional surfaces, entangled particles, and string theory. Her goal is to illuminate invisible worlds, unseen and unseeable. Through these works she answers her own question, what can art contribute beyond photography?

The Relief of Burdens

Realistic or imaginative? This detailed bust, titled 'Solon' (National Museum, Naples) is technically more sophisticated than anything produced in Solon's own time. Most of the ancient literary records, from which history derives its knowledge of Solon, were also constructed long after his death.

Solon (ancient Greek: Σόλων, c. 638 BC–558 BC) was an Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and Lyric poet. He is remembered particularly for his efforts to legislate against political, economic and moral decline in archaic Athens. His reforms failed in the short term yet he is often credited with having laid the foundations for Athenian democracy.[1][2][3][4]

Our knowledge of Solon is limited by the lack of documentary and archeological evidence covering Athens in the early 6th Century BC.[5][6] He wrote poetry for pleasure, as patriotic propaganda and in defence of his constitutional reforms. His works only survive in fragments. They appear to feature interpolations by later authors, and it is possible that fragments have been wrongly attributed to him (see Solon the reformer and poet). Ancient authors such as Herodotus and Plutarch are our main source of information, yet they wrote about Solon hundreds of years after his death, when history was by no means an academic discipline (see for example Anecdotes). Fourth Century orators, such as Aeschines, tended to attribute to Solon all the laws of their own, much later times.[7] Archeology reveals glimpses of Solon's period in the form of fragmentary inscriptions but little else. For some scholars, our 'knowledge' of Solon and his times is largely a fictive construct based on insufficient evidence[8][9] while others believe a substantial body of real knowledge is still attainable.[10] Solon and his times can appear particularly interesting to students of history as a test of the limits and nature of historical argument.[11]



Seisachtheia (Greek: seiein, to shake, and achthos, burden, i.e. the relief of burdens) was a set of laws instituted by the Athenian lawmaker Solon in order to rectify the wide-spread serfdom and slavery that had run rampant in Athens by the 6th Century BC, by debt relief. Under the pre-existing legal status, according to the Aristotelian Constitution of the Athenians, debtors unable to repay their creditors would surrender their land to them, then becoming hektemoroi, i.e. serfs who cultivated what used to be their own land and gave one sixth of produce to their creditors. Should the debt exceed the perceived value of debtor's total assets, then the debtor and his family would become the creditor's slaves as well. The same would result if a man defaulted on a debt whose collateral was the debtor's personal freedom.

The seisachtheia laws immediately cancelled all outstanding debts, retroactively emancipated all previously enslaved debtors, reinstated all confiscated serf property to the hektemorioi, and forbade the use of personal freedom as collateral in all future debts. A ceiling to maximum property size was also instituted regardless of the legality of its acquisition (i.e. by marriage), meant to prevent excessive accumulation of land by powerful families.

Emerging from the Chrysalis

The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego consciousness extends.... All consciousness separates; but in dreams we put on the likeness of that more universal, truer, more eternal man dwelling in the darkness of primordial night. There he is still the whole, and the whole is in him, indistinguishable from nature and bare of all egohood. It is from these all-uniting depths that the dream arises, be it never so childish, grotesque, and immoral. Carl Jung


The Basic Writings of C.G. Jung, by Violet S.de Laszlo


You form your perceptions of things, and from the data accumulated, you make a decision about what you believe in. How much more dynamic is this "quality of thinking" once you recognize the place from which all information can be drawn, and then, is specific to what you had enquired and lived during the day?

In Culture:The Ancient Greek word for "butterfly" is ψυχή (psȳchē), which primarily means "soul", "mind"


So this is the basic assumption about what Pure land represents while central to any design of an liminocentric structure, is the idea that you are coming ever closer to the very essence and quality of all of one's thinking. It's truth. You are then connected to the universe in this way, and such probable outcomes become the exact exchange in effect of those same decision making processes.

The Basic Writings of C.G. Jung, by Violet S.de Laszlo

In rising above dualisms while I had demonstrated a physical action and sought to reveal it's cause and effect, it is the understanding too, that such thinking can be manifested in the mental structure to hide the extensions leading to these polarizations. Knowing full well now, that what ever your stance embroiled in the dance, it is evidenced that you yourself can contain the seed of the other, while discussing the fate.

The Lagrangian



I also showed how easy for the mind to manoeuvrer through the trappings of gravity as it can propel itself through space. The idea of a photon description of the very colourful world of gravity in this way is aware of the locations of these "tunnels" as one can move with utmost speed. See that any deviation, could send the mind into the very locations that one has sunk further then, to then use that momentum to skip onto a further destination, once learning to be free.

Such thinking then is to become embroiled within the context of "any orbit" to realize this has become the gravity with which all thought shall become detained as it See's the evolution of it's future, according to which planet it rests.

So too it is of any mind that returns to that dualism that the journey will be cut short. By it's very nature the mind and it's thought contain the elements of gravity as if seeking to move as fast as one can, with out the restriction of resistance that this thought process holds. It endeavours that each thinking mind is capable to free themself of those thought forming locations. Those locations, that having skipped previous is the enlightenment of the dualism that contains the revolution of thinking.

Rising Above the Duality

The Tao of heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who do not have enough. Man’s way is different. He takes from those who do not have enough to give to those who already have too much. (verse 77. Tr. Gia Fu Feng)

Gia-Fu Feng (1919 - 1985) was prominent as both an English translator (with his wife, Jane English) of Daoist classics and a Daoist teacher in the United States, associated with Alan Watts, Jack Kerouac, The Beats and Abraham Maslow.

He was born in Shanghai in 1919 into a fairly wealthy family of some influence. His father was a prominent banker, one of the founders of the Bank of China; his mother died when he was 16. He was educated privately in his own home in the classics of the Chinese tradition and in private boarding schools. He was for several months tutored by the wife of the British Consul-General. His family members were Buddhist. For the springtime holiday, they travelled to the ancestral tombs in Yu Yao, in Chekiang Province, for the spring festivals. During the Japanese Occupation, Gia-Fu went to Kunming in Free China to complete his Bachelor's Degree at Southwest Associated University in the liberal arts. Gia-Fu once commented that he had become a millionaire three times in his life, giving his money away each time. The first time was when he worked for the bank in Kunming.




Xiuzhen TuThis is the Yin-yang symbol or Taijitu (太極圖), with black representing yin and white representing yang. It is a symbol that reflects the inescapably intertwined duality of all things in nature, a common theme in Taoism. No quality is independent of its opposite, nor so pure that it does not contain its opposite in a diminished form: these concepts are depicted by the vague division between black and white, the flowing boundary between the two, and the smaller circles within the large regions.

Secret of the Golden Flower

Chinese Taoists believe this bright image has close relation to the "Original Essence", "Golden Flower", and "Original Light" . If the practitioner sees the Mandala, that means he/she see part of "Original Essence", and he/she are entering the beginning level of the immortal essence. In the book of Wilhelm's translation, he describes some of the pictures of the Mandala.


Some might know of my references to the Mandala throughout this blog and more specific the understanding of what the "Pure land" means. If you had never known of what the Koan symbolizes then how would you know to understand that the communication of that "very essence of quality" is transmutable to another human being in it's most pure from?



The Golden Flower is the Elixir of Life (literally, golden ball, golden pill). All changes of spiritual consciousness depend upon the Heart. Here is a secret charm, which, although it works very accurately, is yet so fluent that it needs extreme intelligence and clarity, and complete absorption and calm. People without this highest degree of intelligence and understanding do not find the way to apply the charm; People without this utmost capacity for concentration and calm cannot keep fast hold of it.

This is a photograph of author and philosopher Robert M. Pirsigtaken by Ian Glendinning on the eve of the Liverpool conference of 7th July 2005.
What is in mind is a sort of Chautauqua...that's the only name I can think of for it...like the traveling tent-show Chautauquas that used to move across America, this America, the one that we are now in, an old-time series of popular talks intended to edify and entertain, improve the mind and bring culture and enlightenment to the ears and thoughts of the hearer. The Chautauquas were pushed aside by faster-paced radio, movies and TV, and it seems to me the change was not entirely an improvement. Perhaps because of these changes the stream of national consciousness moves faster now, and is broader, but it seems to run less deep. The old channels cannot contain it and in its search for new ones there seems to be growing havoc and destruction along its banks. In this Chautauqua I would like not to cut any new channels of consciousness but simply dig deeper into old ones that have become silted in with the debris of thoughts grown stale and platitudes too often repeated.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Part 1 Chapter 1.(Bold added by me for emphasis)

This article is more about what Robert Maynard Pirsig accomplished. What I had learnt as I came to realize what the value of thought I had taken from the reading. I had already read a lot over the years, and it was that reading that brought it together for me, so that now I can describe what I feel needs to be done.

The title of this post is specific in that the Tao here is the realization that we can constantly move in this relation. Is still to remain part of the earthly state of existence, as the "square" shows in my model of thinking.

Here in this mandala it is interesting to see how such a construction of the diagram becomes focused. Foursquare. If you look at the pyramid and us being over top of, then we can keep this in mind. The Seal of Solomon or Star of David is a symbolism of a kind that warrants the mind to think of involution and evolution. The central location is the place of the heart. Those six smaller triangles then become what?:)

Central to this evolution of the thinking, and the rising above this duality, is to recognize "the Heart" in this relation. It is the idea of the quality that must come into one's thinking to see that what transpires after the distinction of such dualism is to become part of the quality of the new thinking mind. Then the thinking mind has been raised in a "energy configuration" that holds all thoughts to a transforming hierarchy within the pyramid, as a colour of gravity depiction and ascension, as possible in each and every person.

The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego consciousness extends.... All consciousness separates; but in dreams we put on the likeness of that more universal, truer, more eternal man dwelling in the darkness of primordial night. There he is still the whole, and the whole is in him, indistinguishable from nature and bare of all egohood. It is from these all-uniting depths that the dream arises, be it never so childish, grotesque, and immoral. Carl Jung


The very image at the bottom of this blog page again is a type of koan that was given to me "in literal form" to come to understand it's message. I pass it onto others so that they might consider it's message. It is about life, and about the transformation to a spiritual person. This is a necessary recognition of when we choose to "rise above that dualism" to become situated in the heart mind.

This is also the time when we take the earthly design, and move over top of the pyramid, to see that what lays before us is a recognition of the cyclical nature that dualism enfolds into the living of, as a human being. One needs the heart in order to rise to the higher principals of the intellect, taking that energy and transforming it into new thought processes. So then the pyramid then becomes a dynamical model of the human body and mind.

To ever get the sense of this momentum of opposites transforming into the one other is to realize that a pressure exists on the forearm. IN this contact a oppositional force will cause the realization that if you were empty, no resistance, to allow that opposing movement to move forward. You allow it to become centrifugal, as if, in a rotation, to return the force back onto itself.

Such momentums are the things which propel my own mind through the vast journeys of space on a imaginary spaceship, that while in the Lagrangian mode, one can understand how such rockets can travel with the least amount of energy expedited.

Such an exchange is the idea then that the economy in caught in this kind of action of dualism?

    The World of Information

    I suppose the body to be nothing but a statue or machine made of earth, which God forms with the explicit intention of making it as much as possible like usDescartes' Views on the Pineal Gland


    (click on image for larger version)

    Computationally, how is it that the world can see information in this way and not think the basis of the economy cannot be thought "subjective" from a developmental robotic point of view?(the design of this information transfer does not currently exist)

    You see, how instantaneously a virus could over take all areas of research to have it do the bidding of those that know well the resource needed to manipulate, is the resource monetarily that is readily available to them. How appealing such imagery to have it planted in the mind and explode with all it's meaning?

    I do not have to tell you what that is.

    Figure 5. The Worm According to Mondino (view from above). In this view of the brain from above, the label “worm” (“vermis”) is applied to the choroid plexus in the lateral and third ventricles, just as in Mondino's Anothomia (Berengario da Carpi 1530, fol. O3r).

    So this is more the idea that the energy of the sun can be transformed in that "energy of leaves" and how is it fluidity passed through out the whole system(the tree) if one did not understand the "cloud of thinking and body of thought" can enforce endocrinology to do the masters bidding?

    Most certainly I do not want anyone to think this is a "Pseudo-Science" that one can apply to an Illuminate, and think this is what such a body of thought here is assigned to in that body of thought that a secret society works with below the radar.

    It is a legitimate question about how wo/men think that the body is a machine, and how it's functions can exist as "apart from the the mind" as it breathes according to it's own plan? A robotic structure, that given the right programing and theory will apply the logic accordingly without the passions and emotions of human beings. A some how highly recognized version of the masses being worked b such simplistic switches which have been supplanted by the neuronal switch the robot had been designed with.

    See:When It Comes to Photosynthesis, Plants Perform Quantum Computation
    Plants soak up some of the 1017 joules of solar energy that bathe Earth each second, harvesting as much as 95 percent of it from the light they absorb. The transformation of sunlight into carbohydrates takes place in one million billionths of a second, preventing much of that energy from dissipating as heat. But exactly how plants manage this nearly instantaneous trick has remained elusive. Now biophysicists at the University of California, Berkeley, have shown that plants use the basic principle of quantum computing—the exploration of a multiplicity of different answers at the same time—to achieve near-perfect efficiency.

    Biophysicist Gregory Engel and his colleagues cooled a green sulfur bacterium—Chlorobium tepidum, one of the oldest photosynthesizers on the planet—to 77 kelvins [–321 degrees Fahrenheit] and then pulsed it with extremely short bursts of laser light. By manipulating these pulses, the researchers could track the flow of energy through the bacterium's photosynthetic system. "We always thought of it as hopping through the system, the same way that you or I might run through a maze of bushes," Engel explains. "But, instead of coming to an intersection and going left or right, it can actually go in both directions at once and explore many different paths most efficiently."

    In other words, plants are employing the basic principles of quantum mechanics to transfer energy from chromophore (photosynthetic molecule) to chromophore until it reaches the so-called reaction center where photosynthesis, as it is classically defined, takes place. The particles of energy are behaving like waves. "We see very strong evidence for a wavelike motion of energy through these photosynthetic complexes," Engel says. The results appear in the current issue of Nature.

    QUANTUM CHLOROPHYLL: Sunlight triggers wave-like motion in green chlorophyll, embedded in a protein structure, depicted in gray here, that guides its function. GREGORY ENGEL

    Employing this process allows the near-perfect efficiency of plants in harvesting energy from sunlight and is likely to be used by all of them, Engel says. It might also be copied usefully by researchers attempting to create artificial photosynthesis, such as that in photovoltaic cells for generating electricity. "This can be a much more efficient energy transfer than a classical hopping one," Engel says. "Exactly how to implement that is a very difficult question."

    It also remains unclear exactly how a plant's structure permits this quantum effect to take place. "[The protein structure] of the plant has to be tuned to allow transfer among chromophores but not to allow transfers into [heat]," Engel says. "How that tuning works and how it is controlled, we don't know." Inside every spring leaf is a system capable of performing a speedy and efficient quantum computation, and therein lies the key to much of the energy on Earth.

    So the question is then raised. Who is the Master that sends the messages to the body of thoughts which governs and disseminates information accordingly to a world view? Is it that "one foot soldier" who takes his order unquestionably and supplants his choice for a product in the future according to the description of the government which holds office, and seeks to implement there own plan to deal with the economy in a way that is most suitable to a "consumerism by their design" which shall over see any such plan to implement a corporate world view under a government agenda???

    It is by such understanding that any existing culture orientated world view of world design is nothing more then an attempt to usurp the freedom of empowered thinkers to choose to buy "which product?" "My logic" saids, you will "not survive" if you think otherwise. That might help adjust one's thinking according to the some Darwinian theory of an economic application?:)

    Distortions of Reality

    Pure land: Painted 19th century Tibetan mandala of the Naropa tradition, Vajrayogini stands in the center of two crossed red triangles, Rubin Museum of Art

    Pure land

    Mandala in Buddhist iconography, especially sand mandala are 'pure lands' and may be understood as nirmanakaya, as are all murti, thanka and sacred tools that have consecrated, dedicated and the 'deity' (Sanskrit: ishtadevata) invoked and requested to reside. Some namkha are pure lands. According to Nirmanakaya (as tulku) theory, nirmanakaya spontaneously arise due to the intention, aspiration, faith and devotion of the sangha.


    How many would actually understand what I am saying if they themself had not recognize how such model building can be seen in relation to what the Pureland Represents "inside" and not as some symbolic state of the political ideology that a psychopath would adorn and assigned as symbol of perspective in society according to their meaning to be transposed to society. Even then my own words are suspect, while I ask that what the pure land represents is to focus on what the story on stage is talking about, or what the symbol represents internally.

    Ring of Power by Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.


    Empowerment means then to wake up and see how deep these interpretations can go and is about the self in terms of the society in which they live. It is not about individuality and how it sets according too, but of the larger perspective of humanity that it recognizes there is a deeper voice that resides in their own being that is good. Not to have it supplanted with and forgoing of the power to determination as to a course of action in life to be able to choose.

    ***


    Would we assign "Plato's Dialogues" or "Sir Francis Bacon's Shakespearean plays" to such examples of what might be transmitted to society by the author?

    Ring of Power by Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.

    Many people set the stage for what is to be transposed to others, that this language is inescapable as to it's meaning, and further, given the insight that was first found of value, as it rests within ones mind can be found to lead to a understanding that is so clear for another person, their is no room left for doubt.

    Temenos (τέμενος,[1] from the Greek verb τέμνω "to cut"; plural: temene) is a piece of land cut off and assigned as an official domain, especially to kings and chiefs, or a piece of land marked off from common uses and dedicated to a god, a sanctuary, holy grove or holy precinct: The Pythian race-course is called a temenos, the sacred valley of the Nile is the Νείλοιο πῖον τέμενος Κρονίδα, the Acropolis is the ἱερὸν τέ The concept of temenos arose in classical Mediterranean cultures as an area reserved for worship of the gods. Some authors have used the term to apply to a sacred grove of trees,[2] isolated from everyday living spaces, while other usage points to areas within ancient urban development that are parts of temples.[3]

    A large example of a Bronze Age Minoan temenos is at the Juktas Sanctuary of the palace of Knossos on ancient Crete in present day Greece, the temple having a massive northern temenos.[4] Another example is at Olympia, the temenos of Zeus. There were many temene of Apollo, as he was the patron god of settlers.

    In religious discourse in English, Temenos has also come to refer to a territory, plane, receptacle or field of deity or divinity.



    Such model building while so far from the reaches of the average mind, such plays and stories of mythic proportion have been chosen more to illustrate "without that doubt" as to the course the psychological failings of the individual, are see it played is out in front of them. What witness is the mind as it journeys to such states that it counts for itself all that is done, so that it may assess it own self as to what course of action shall lead to what future?

    A child of a broken home who grows up to become, and what has this imprinted on a mind that is flawed as to it's reasoning when the adult cannot escape their own history? What is the healthy mind that cannot discriminate and hold in perspective an elevated view of their own life, that they had decided to remove themself from the repetitive rote system of, and sleepy ways of uncaring?

    They must learn to "know themself" and care about themself.

    ***




    I ask you then. Shall I play the role of the magician, and for all appearance sake assign any of you to the solidify state of existence that is conceptually created so that you are it? States of confusion exist, so that one can ask themself where it is they belong, and if aligned with this or that view, how is it you are that.

    You are so much more then what concepts are applied as a rule. Do you want to solidify your position? Do you want to be "judge and jury" and assign others?

    If I say I am "set c" in a diagram that is representative of entanglement to the relationship associated in Transactional analysis then what is "set c?"

    All Possible Outcomes?

    I must say to you that in my case I am asking of Calabi Yau's, can have some predictability to how universe selection is accomplished and thus any steady development in mathematics pushing that landscape to credibility?


    This entry is for representing a point of view much clearer then had been previously demonstrated in the following links shown below at the bottom of this post.

    Phil:
    I wouldn’t exactly say that the evidence presented on its own would not have been enough, yet rather that it became more quickly evident and compelling as the speaker was relaying his findings and conclusions while reliving for us his ‘eureka” moment you might say. This has the learner trade places with the discoverer as to experience the moment. Anthony Zee had the same effect on me in the book I have mentioned. Where I am certain you are correct is that despite the abilities of the teacher if one is not open to things in these ways they will never be sought to be enjoyed. This for me is the difference in simply learning a fact and realizing a truth.




    Of course I like humour and in this context, it can show another side to the coin to show that while it has a quality to it in that humour, it also has a science consideration in structure as well. The Aristotelean arch is representative here then of the moment that the climax is reached, as if telling a story about, and we know very well its meaning.

    It is the assessment of a "body of thought" that arranges itself around a progressive point of view, that while matter forming in retention times of those smaller peaks of the classroom it became the written word of the orators. You see, smaller peaks versus written transmission of the idea.

    Pg 191, Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe, by Leon M. Lederman and Christopher T. Hill

    That this place can reside in the thinking mind is a quandary of sorts knowing full well the probabilistic outcome ensures that the direction, after critical thinking, is the way in which the mind comes to see itself as it rests in the valley below. Conceptually the thinking has formed.

    Pg 200, Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe, by Leon M. Lederman and Christopher T. Hill

    ***


    You see while some are expanding their physical horizons, it is of note that I see they had been expanding their mental one too. Some have comment on the flexibility of an intelligent mind to traverse across the globe of that same thinking mind, to expand the relationships that are psycho relevant in an metaphorical relation to contract it to a humour of a kind, and a hence a deeper meaning.

    See:Backreaction-Power Spectrum

    So in all aspects while we see this relational pictorial chart it is in relation to the potential I see, that any mind might have settled down to a state to have caught the jest of the revision so that its relevance can been seen in that same relationship to the universe at large.

    So the peak in this case is a rendition of the unstableness of the pencil in relation to Cosmic inflation. That any mind might come to this position is to recognize that it has found the fastest route to the understanding of the symmetry of this universe and that th energy contained here is although unstable it is found to be expressive.

    Awareness of the Conditioned Response



    created at TagCrowd.com




    Some words in that Tag Cloud have been changed to reflect my own body of thought.

    Words, as a "body of thought and thusly, jargon" that removes one further away from?

    How is it one can "look past this" to see the "quality of the good?" While it is only to appear as more rhetoric speaking, and a decay from the essence what of that place is. Where the high mountain spots reveal "a clarity of mind" after ascending. Which can oversee such valleys? Represents in some unconscious actions of a painter or writer at work, a unsurmountable problem with life in the challenge ahead?

    While lacking a description it had become symbolic, that what was speaking, was a more artistic envisioned capability to express what is needed to be faced. That this unsurmountable can indeed be defined in terms of an objective and goal, to symbolize accomplishment and clarity to mind, once having consumed all the information.

    A word newly coined in the hope it will become accepted.

    This may be thought a useful invention, one that’s particularly relevant to World Wide Words — coiners often submit linguistic inventions in the hope that they might be promoted and become a settled part of the language.

    The difference between a protologism and a neologism is that the latter has actually been used somewhere, even if only once, while a protologism exists only as a suggestion of a word that might be used.

    Wikipedia says that it was coined by Mikhail Epstein, the Professor of Cultural Theory and Russian Literature at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and that it was first used in 2005. It’s from Greek protos, first, plus logos, word, but might equally be taken to be an blend of prototype and neologism.

    As protologism is quite often used within the Wikipedia community, it is itself no longer a protologism, but has ascended to the status of jargon.
    World Wide Words

    How is it possible to transform "any thinking" if it has been alloted to only "in the box thinking. Conflict and fear, as if, always contained to the fight or flight response? If all thought was crystallized to "reactionary forces" that would conduct our own thinking to a trial by trial induced basis as a continued response?

    We set the tone. We set the thought process accordingly. What memories reside then in the thinking framework, called your own body of thought?

    Neologism

    A neologism (IPA: /niˈɒləˌdʒɪzəm/; from Greek neo 'new' + logos 'word') is a newly coined word that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream language (which can take up to a generation[1]). Neologisms are often directly attributable to a specific person, publication, period, or event. The term neologism was coined in 1803.[2]


    So attempts are made to free the way one has always done things. To "shock" the system as to alter it's course of pre-conditioned thought and provide for new opportunities for expression. This entails then some familiarity with what has always been the mode of thinking, that would allow for a new and trans formative change to exist in the potential of any human being.

    Neologisms in literature

    Many neologisms have come from popular literature and tend to appear in different forms. Most commonly, they are simply taken from a word used in the narrative of a book; a few representative examples are: "grok" (to achieve complete intuitive understanding), from Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein; "McJob", from Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland; "cyberspace", from Neuromancer by William Gibson; "nymphet" from Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.

    Hunger then, becomes the understanding that all information that currently exists, exists to provide for the potential to develop the quality of mind for the good and to prepare it for that change.

    On Creativity and Perception

    David Joseph Bohm
    (December 20, 1917, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania – October 27, 1992, London) was an American-born quantum physicist who made significant contributions in the fields of theoretical physics, philosophy and neuropsychology, and to the Manhattan Project.

    Bridging science, philosophy, and cognition

    Bohm's scientific and philosophical views seemed inseparable. In 1959, his wife Saral recommended to him a book she had seen in the library by the world-renown speaker on life subjects, Jiddu Krishnamurti. Bohm found himself impressed by the way his own ideas on quantum mechanics meshed with the seemingly-philosophical ideas of Krishnamurti. Bohm's approach to philosophy and physics receive expression in his 1980 book Wholeness and the Implicate Order, and in his 1987 book Science, Order and Creativity. Bohm and Krishnamurti went on to become close friends for over 25 years, with a deep mutual interest in philosophical subjects and the state of humanity.

    Dr. Terrence Webster-Doyle's work was greatly influenced by Bohm's insights into conditioned thinking. His books Thought as a System, as well as On Dialogue helped create the basis for Webster-Doyle's BioCognetic Peace Education series understanding how thought can falsely define one's perception of reality, and therefore can create conflict, within one's self and hence outwardly in society.

    The Differences

    Phil:....yet more importantly it is only in difference that often times much is learned.


    IT is appropriate that such a point( self evident) in terms of "differences" is brought forward here for introspection, as a "inductive recognition of our journey's into society and our pursuance of understanding it's structure." This allows us to move forward under a new paradigmatic model for consideration attempts of what shall be introduced back into that same society. One will be able to see "the list" from which this first entry speaks too. It goes beyond the page 200. The Title in which I had given this exercise was based on the page number 63, hence the title, "63:Six of Red Spades


    Thomas Kuhn

    However, the incommensurability thesis is not Kuhn's only positive philosophical thesis. Kuhn himself tells us that “The paradigm as shared example is the central element of what I now take to be the most novel and least understood aspect of [The Structure of Scientific Revolutions]” (1970a, 187). Nonetheless, Kuhn failed to develop the paradigm concept in his later work beyond an early application of its semantic aspects to the explanation of incommensurability. The explanation of scientific development in terms of paradigms was not only novel but radical too, insofar as it gives a naturalistic explanation of belief-change. Naturalism was not in the early 1960s the familiar part of philosophical landscape that it has subsequently become. Kuhn's explanation contrasted with explanations in terms of rules of method (or confirmation, falsification etc.) that most philosophers of science took to be constitutive of rationality. Furthermore, the relevant disciplines (psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence) were either insufficiently progressed to support Kuhn's contentions concerning paradigms, or were antithetical to them (in the case of classical AI). Now that naturalism has become an accepted component of philosophy, there has recently been interest in reassessing Kuhn's work in the light of developments in the relevant sciences, many of which provide corroboration for Kuhn's claim that science is driven by relations of perceived similarity and analogy to existing problems and their solutions (Nickles 2003b, Nersessian 2003). It may yet be that a characteristically Kuhnian thesis will play a prominent part in our understanding of science.


    Now you must know this is an extract of a process that was presented to me in context of this book by Thomas Kuhn. I do not know if any can follow along. As I mention in a previous comment to Phil, it was more to the idea of the beginning of a "inductive process" in recognition of the Aristotelean arch that this example of Bacon and Plato was to recognize how such a method was to be used to project themself forward in time, while existing as the individuals they were. They needed to see beyond the boundaries of self encumbered, to see that the sun shined as a fixture in the ideal, and in this aspect, knew it to be, that such an ideal can exist too in an ideal state.

    "I was the justest judge that was in England these last fifty years. When the book of all hearts is opened, I trust I shall not be found to have the troubled fountain of a corrupt heart. I know I have clean hands and a clean heart. I am as innocent of bribes as any born on St Innocents Day." Sir Francis Bacon


    IN the spirit of Sir Francis Bacon and his short time in prison, one wonders if Sir Francis Bacon needed to break free of the chains that bound him? Cloaked himself, so that such excursions into the communicative world would have allow him to portray and speak relevance to the conditions of those same times. Artistically endowed, in his opinion of those times as the plays of Shakespeare? To be free from persecution.
