    2. Age of Reason – Semantic Certiary Preface ‘the new metaphysics’ The second part of this book was actually written first and serves to underscore a 'spiritual principle' - \"the first shall be last and the last shall be first”. This is to enable the reader to experience the privilege of ‘foresight’ into what the historic moment of this millennium and its millennial jubilees (there are quite a few) have revealed. A new metaphysics has been ‘re-discovered’ and this moment of human development with its quantum nanotechnology has underscored one of the main themes of this work – ‘with God; nothing is impossible’; which is a testimony to the millennial jubilees and their perseverance. Survival on Planet Earth is often a form of success in and of itself; and the survival of the vast realms of creation – notwithstanding the insistence of ‘science’ to conceptualize this ontogeny as evolutionary [procreation]; has generated both unnecessary hostility and a terrible onslaught of wasteful and destructive human development focus upon ‘misconception’. Let us not underestimate this new metaphysics either; it has the demonstrated potential to virtually eliminate waste; not only in all forms of power generation but also in the field of environmental pollution control; and is working on a system based upon this same quantum nanotechnology which can actually draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transform it [via a catalytic convertor technology] into the raw materials which civilizations uses for its daily activities. As this optimal efficiency is realized – the role of passive energy technologies will be understood as the right way to generate power (of any magnitude) and in such a way that this power will be omnipresent. To present the world and its history as continuous and interconnected with a discrete and common origin is not an easy viewpoint to sell. Yet from the perspective of philosophy such a world exists and has actually with great difficulty is making great progress - here cited as having 'lasting value'. This book is designed to gain an insight into the 'millennia' from the standpoint of this still pending 'millennial moment'. As a young man I watched as a man set foot for the first time on the surface of Earth's celestial partner - the Moon; Neil Armstrong who with 'great trepidation' - gave the glory to God; by quoting from the Bible during the preparation for ‘descent’ onto the lunar surface; as would seem proper – being that faith resolves a 'higher order' of spirit than one’s own.....His phrase: \"One small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind\" is well worth remembering \". Another astronaut – John Glenn who was the keynote speaker at a Boy Scout banquet a couple of years before - that ‘this author’ was privileged to attend; stated these awestruck words during his perilous journey as the first human being to orbit the earth. “That man could reach out and touch the face of God.” Such is the sense of wonder retained by those who experience a glimpse of the universe – especially in the spiritual sense. The question of a ‘millennial moment’ is certainly adamant; if light instantiates at a distance as ‘quantum physics’ maintains then it does not seem like a strange coincidence that the global internet [information networks interconnected+ came ‘on-line’ for most of humanity in the mid 1990’s as Anno Domini calibrates; or Jerusalem 3000; or the 4000 year old Chinese Calendar; during a global celebration of ancient culture and historic events never seen before. These ‘new surfers’ learned to use their ‘web browsers’ and in this great influx – shared information; it became ‘discovered’ by ‘search engines’ – a grand millennial mosaic appeared. Global celebrations of history – searching for historic roots; many attaining to cultural restoration; all gave a sense of ‘rebirth’ to mankind weary from combating greed, hate and reprobate jealousies. Some histories and cultures did not accept this celebration (very few); but that is unfortunate - nonetheless important as it’s ‘fruits’ can be enjoyed by everyone [security questions]. The author once had the opportunity to work with a talking crow (raised in human environment) ; at The National Aviary while making a Cable TV Program – his continuous statement was – How; What Where; Why! The logical sequence is quite interesting in com paring in to the what; when; where; how; and who of journalism. Trouble is certainly multiplied by the exponential growth of civilization(s); regardless of one's worldview or theological determination. The impacts of natural disasters upon crisis management resources cannot be understated......rebuking the gainsayers who ask 'what is in it for me' and the devourer 'whose agenda of greed and
    3. immoral self-service' already lies prostrate; historically - fallen civilization upon fallen empire - fallen kingdoms through the ages – every nationality and region of the globe. Yet the most profound statement regarding cosmology is actually brief – “in the beginning GOD” and of course as those who honor him as The Creator can agree full heartedly with; “created the heavens and the earth”. This millennial moment has the temerity of proving - As it is said – “with god “nothing” is impossible”. Philosophy may well begin with ‘Metaphysics’ – the question of the ‘true nature’ of Energy and Matter is becoming the key to man’s survival. Many consider electricity as energy – but it is only a form of ‘conductance’ of Energy in the true sense of the word. The 19th century A.D. produced this ‘paradox’ – which Ethics and its ‘emotional intelligence’ have ‘ethical’ discourse with. 1. Maxwell's original EM theory, as is well-known, was modeled in Sir William Hamilton's quaternion’s, not in the highly curtailed Heaviside/Hertz vectors erroneously taught today as \"Maxwell's theory.\" 2. The existence of this condition via direct engineering of the virtual state allows for the safe generation of electrical energy. This condition, in essence, forms the underlying principle of operation of the Phase-Conjugated Vacuum Triode. [Floyd A. \"Spark y\" S weet ] Scalar Electromagnetics; nanotechnology and a physical demonstration of the Bose Einstein effect have rendered petroleum [and all other fossil feuls] obsolete as the primary fuel for the generation of energy [ordinary water [H2O] has ‘usurped’ it+; yet it may well ruin the world’s climate before its ‘replacement’ can be realized. There are many examples of this ‘poor choice’ syndrome – tied to political power brokers - whose lust for power and wealth obviously blinded them to the proper ‘essence’ of scientific truth. And when found out; being paranoid – they took great pains to blind others as well. Yet the millennium has foreseen an ong oing ‘green revolution’ in energy technology. Bioethics and its advocacy of the common good [genomics – ekistics - ergonomics] are becoming much more effective in their response to global crisis – even in the face of generalized ‘adversity’. This ‘adversity’ is all too real – the bioethics of geo-engineering the Earth in order to reverse the affects of CO2 being released from the burning of fossil fuels and the ‘aggressive’ clear cutting of the earth’s rainforests have quickly become a global crisis *The Arctic Ice Cape is rapidly receding and large chunks of remote Antarctica’s Ice Shelf are beginning to break free] - that have teams of multi-faceted experts working ‘24/7’. Healing the Earth is a task which is global and contributes to political discourse in a real and com pelling way. Catalytic convertor ‘ubiquitous’ CO2 molecule Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Charge barrier EM flux generator Is it appropriate to ‘inquire’: can scalar Electromagnetics be utilized to unbind oxygen from ‘carbon dioxide’; releasing (as plants do) oxygen and binding carbon (in some useful form or process)? The high energy bond of the Carbon atom to one oxygen molecule makes carbon dioxide one of the most ubiquitous ‘greenhouse’ gases. Whatever scheme could be successful - it is seriously absurd to consider that the present world order would implement it without a major catastrophe taking place (yet hope springs eternal). Golden Mean
    4. The reasoning process that Mr. Sweet (the proponent of this methodology) used is based upon the same principle that contemporary biofuels industry promotes (especially diesel engine related biofuels) – INDEED; a serious error has been made in the implementation of a discrete scientific principle, invention or thermodynamic law . The work 'Nothing Is something: The Theory and Oper ation of a Phase-Conjugated Vacuum Triode ’ details “ Nothing, on the cosmological scale, is virtually everything.” This device produces ‘negative energy’ which is the reverse of the conventional positive energy generated by most devices in service today. A short-cir cuit in a negative energy system is excessively bright and cold, producing barely an audible hiss with no explosive for ce. “ The source of energy is unlimited; the virtual vacuum of space itself structured by a motional electromagnetic field as its powerhouse .” Prayer and meditation forewarn – as it is written: “We struggle not against flesh and blood; but the rulers of the darkness of this world (Sat an) – spiritual wickedness in high places (government)”. Industrial Solar Arrays Soil Erosion & Deforestation Canadian Beavers Zero Utility Bills -Earth Ships Poynting energy density flow is one principle of EM which “the author has patterned a unified field theory concept upon the previously unnoticed but remarkable early work of E.T. Whittaker.” *Ref. 2] In two fundamental papers in 1903 and 1904, E.T. Whittaker showed that all present vector EM can be replaced by scalar potential interferometry, and that bidirectional harmonic EM plane wave sets could be used to produce a standing wave of force-field-free potential (Figures 1 and 2). It is not praiseworthy however to consider that ‘National Governments’ have used these technologies as weapons - yet deny their viability as Energy Technologies; and still it is perfectly ‘amazing’ to imagine the possibilites for such a system.[3] Perhaps this is why mankind tends to be ‘intrigued’ by fantasy dramas like the Star Wars series – their sublime greeting is ‘May the Force be with you’ – but the technologies which their ‘parallel universe’ is based upon may well be this EM Unified Field - based upon the juxtaposition of ‘electro-motive force’ with the flow of energy. Amongst earth people it may be more appropriate to say – ‘May the Lord be with you’; as we ought to remember ‘who is the God of heaven’.[4] The EM Quantum Field Theory Concept is actually the basis of a more comphrehensive metaphysi cs often called – ‘The Theory of Everything’.
    5. Boris Yeltsin – Russian Leader alias – George Orwell Fair Trade is Greater than Free Trade Harmonic Convergence Tree of Life Cosmology Google Maps – Madagascar Global Deforestation Ontology the Sons of Saint Tamenend Of course the Federal Reserve Banking System of the United St ates of America is not federal, but merely a consortium of private central banks. With profits exceeding 150 billion per year , no corporation in the world comes anywhere close. Isn’t it interesting; if the profits of the Federal Reserve were compounded from its inception - a sum roughly equivalent to the national debt results? Wall Street interests originally “fought” this bill while all along they were its authors [the old fox in the henhouse mentality]. “Evil is arrogant. It has no conscience. It is utterly self-serving. It hides from the light and will attack, even destroy others to preserve its own demented delusions. It is an unrestrained sociopath, wallowing in the murky darkness of its own psychosis while endlessly rationalizing its terrible deeds. It infiltrates the weak-minded and subverts the weak of character.” [U.S.Dept of Justice Estimat e – 350 million felonies documented 1965-2000] In general things mix – discretely! And it pays to remember that ‘God is Holy *Separate/Perfect+ and those who worship him must do so in Spirit and in Truth’. [6] The main theme of this work is the reconciliation of philosophy and theology based upon appreciation of a commonality - this ‘m illennial moment’. Two concepts which are associated with this ‘state’ are Mediator and Advocate; which modern global civilizations has provided two developments directly related to – Communicative Action [The Rational]; where deliberation represents - the free exchange of beliefs and intentions under the absence of domination. Proposed deliberately - to defeat He gel’s Dialectic; and refute the Cartesian argument.[4] The second of which is Emotional Intelligence – which elevates ‗humanity‘ to a more purposeful understanding of the importance of interpersonal relationships and their role in successful living. EI provides Ethical Philosophy with a ‗mission‘ - to provide the ‗motivation‘ for advocacy an d its appropriate and timely intercession for the Common Good. One very great failure of the ‘Right to Power’ was its Marburg Plan; “financed by Andrew Carnegie's ample heritage - produced in the early years of the twentieth century. It suggests premeditation for this kind of superficial schizophrenia [the dialectic], which in fact masks an integrated program of power acquisition”. The governments of the world were to be socialized while the ultimate power would remain in the hands of the international financiers \"to control its councils and enforce peace [and so] provide a specific [remedy] for all the political ills of mankind.\"9
    6. The Presidential Race of 2008 in the U.S.A. serves well to understand this adversity – the question of war profiteering; petroleum cartel price manipulation and w idespread abuse of government regulations by ‘well endowed’ financial institutions…..threaten to make the American economy a vassal st ate of what this author views as a ‘global delusion’ - the autonom y of the super-rich and their ‘ignoble’ cohorts. Never has Ethical Philosophy been so ‘sorely needed’ or so generally denied – the ongoing ‘cr ash’ of the American Economy was underscored when a ‘round table discussion group commentator remarked; “the problem with Busine ss is that Business Schools fail to teach the first principle of Bu siness Ethics – ‘those who fail to remember history are bound to repeat it’”. It is encour aging to see that the new President Barak Obama made it his administration’s first order of business to enfor ce Ethics statuettes and to put the lobbyists [and their bribery] – out on the curb. The New Metaphysics – the trichotomy of Time It is undeniable that the Millennia have brought forth a new metaphysics; yet this would not be so remarkable if it were not for the Aesthetics which give it remarkable quie scence. This virtue of the quiescent is spiritual as well – ‘a quiet mind’ is indeed a worthy countenance (repose) to pray for. One operable crux of this matter is remarkable; yet carries with it an adamant w arning. Communicative Action is a theory in which Reason is the conceptual foundation ; Jürgen Habermas “ considers that communicative reason, is distinguished from the rationalist tradition in that it considers the site of rationality to be the structures of interpersonal linguistic communication rather than the structure of either the cosmos or the knowing subject . He makes the assumption about identity that we learn who we are as autonomous agents from our basic relations with others ”. However; if what you see is not what you are getting - Eide and Psyche; may be in conflict - manifesting misunderstanding. The conflict may well be generated by ‘living in a dream world’; rather than it the ‘life-world’ of common experience. A true paradigm shift is occurring here; the dichotomy of communicative reason and commutative logic speaks to the heart of ‘complex systems’ ontology – including computer ontologies; being applied and disseminated (expressivity) and merged in powerful frameworks for ‘semantic interoperability’ even while classical Ontology (of course) remains enigmatic. The Mosaic Effect and the Ecologic Patch Phenomenon [ R.H. Whittaker – edaphic succession] Logic provides the process while Ethics watches over the minds of men. Institutions like this one in Big S ur California [Ventana Wildlife Society] strive to help endangered wildlife like the Humpback Whale, the Sea Otter and the California Condor (all suffered near extinction) to survive and return to their ‘native environments’. ONTOLOGIES FOR CRISIS MANAGEMENT Session ID: INT-04 – [a good example of practical philosophy] Motivation _ Crisis Intervention and Information Architecture What is a crisis? When does a crisis begin, and when does it end? What factor s are likely to aggravate or
    7. alleviate a crisis? How is a crisis different from an emergency, or a disaster? Who are the players, stakeholders, actors and agents responsible for action during a global emergency and what are their roles? What and whose procedures are to be followed? What protocols are in place to support coordination and communication among the various agents? What infrastructures are in place? How can community “resilience” fit into the picture? Where are the bottlenecks? How can informati on systems be deployed and used to improve crisis management and support the optimization of resources and relief operations when the need arises? How can transparency and collaboration be balanced with security and privacy measures during a crisis? How feasible is a common shared ontology for emergency management? Will such ontology scale to international levels and who will drive this process and manage its evolution? These, and many more, are “ontological challenges” that pertain to the emergency managem ent functions across all levels of government, non-government organizations, industry, and community groups. During a crisis incident, they all need to collaborate and cooperate and share information and r esources to respond and recover from the disaster. Under these conditions, it is critical that they share a common ontology to support their crisis functions and decision making roles. This session aims to provide an opportunity to allow researchers and practitioners to present their views, and to stimulate experts to further investigate the underlying “ontological challenges” that are at the heart of technical information cooperation during an international crisis. Ontologies are critical to the design and management of complex and sustainable information systems and are central to information flow in crisis management. The need to improve and open up knowledge and research in the area for “ontologies for crisis management” is becoming compelling and relevant to real-world requirements. Ontological challenges relating to crisis management need to be asked, and answered, in order to provide mechanism to widen adoption, interoperability, usefulness, efficiency, robustness, reliability, availability and accountability of information systems, during emer gencies. The ontologies need to represent a wide cross section of dynamic emergency functions and to support dynamically adaptive real time scenarios as changes occur quickly and need to be propagated widely. Reasoning and decision making must be transparent and flexible with the support of crisis ontologies. The boundaries of this emerging research area is vast and still be determined. Ontology research has been increasing over the past years with the Semantic Web providing new technologies to solve ontological needs across disciplines and domains. Ontology management still faces many challenges when taken at the broader level – in particular at an international level - across many different stakeholder areas. How can ontologies support the many agencies and groups involved in a crisis?

    8. There are, in fact, two such vortices at work in the Pacific Ocean, the other one lying just off the coast of Japan (another major producer of plastic waste on the Pacific Rim. According to Greenpeace: An enormous island of trash twice the size of Texas is floating in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii. Chris Parry with the California Coastal Commission in San Francisco said the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch, has been growing a brisk rate since the 1950s, The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday. The trash stew is 80 percent plastic and weighs more than 3.5 million tons. Tautology and Totality - Semiotic Representation This advent of the ‘Inform ation Age’ has quickly developed an ingenuity which cannot be expressed by the evolutionary dictum alone. Along with this quiescent paradigm shift was come a corrupt and self-serving semantic drift towards identifying abstract concepts w ith their esoteric roots – as if they were the same thing. Sharing Information in a world supercharged with occult organizations, imperialistic ‘nations’ and their pseudo-diplom atic ‘intrigues’ is not a candidate for the adage ‘free and open’; nor can such societies be considered ‘trustworthy’ – yet into the darkness; the light has shined! Philosophy itself is not without blame in its service to totalitarian ideologies; the existential is such a philosophy; Heidegger criticized ``onto-theology'' as the alienating notion of ``being'' that is the essence of modern technology.[6] Yet his contemporary Eduard Levinas identifie s this negative ambience as a result of always identifying ‘the same with the other’; in other words true ethics must consider the other as self before adjudging whether it is ‘the same’. In the commutative sense of computing wor kflow s and their network ‘identities’ – broad based ontologies ‘become’ the ‘inform ation integration’ entity; which a knowledge base draws its concepts [ideas of value] from; the searcher utilizes this flow of data by querying the database; transformed through algebraic semiotics for light-speed accessibility. Correspondence is a principle which ‘the cult of personality’ that embodies conventional politics has never attained; the legacy of ‘the corruption of power’ is it’s ‘Achilles heel’ - described through the ages. Seldom have civilizations prevailed when lost in their own excess; even the legendary Chinese is being
    9. eroded away by ‘globalism ’ – will cultural ‘aesthetics’ be able to save it? This ‘World Order’ known to political leaders as The World Trade Organization [7] is quickly accelerating this process . Its failure to advocate The Common Good at the echelon of its responsibility has provided inappropriate priorities - long decried as elitist. Its advocacy of genetic engineering; corporate control of government institutions (including life support (drinking water and health care)) are sufficient warning signs . An insight into ‘how to apply the correspondence principle’ – according to Hamilton; the conceptuality of TIME becomes coherent as a trichotomy of ‘relations’ - yet incoherent when trichotomized. This is because coherence is a property of correspondence and that correspondence is to light. A theological question arises – “Does wisdom provide motivation for an answer to prayer”. Intuition The verb to intuit means to grasp by intuition _Implies MEMORY (basis)  quick and ready insight  seemingly independent of previous experiences and empirical knowledge  immediate apprehension or cognition [perceptual insight]  knowledge or conviction gained by intuition  the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition  Without evident rational thought and inference .  the perceiving of unconsciousness  The verb to intuit means to grasp by intuition. Intuition is by definition not the same as an opinion based on experience but may have unconsciously been formed by previous experiences. A person who has an intuitive opinion cannot (necessarily) fully explain why he or she holds that view (except through reference to that ‘experience’). Intuition is an unconscious form of knowledge. It is immediate and not open to Rational/analytical thought processes. It differs from instinct, whi ch does not ha ve the experience element. It is memory based – tha t is why an ‘intui ti ve interfa ce’ as computer programmers delineate how thei r ‘products ’ work and a re easily grasped (lea rned). It is the highest form of skill acquisition of Dreyfus and Dreyfus models (in practice) . Intuiti on has adva ntages in sol ving complex problems and finding new resul ts. Intuition is one source of common sense. It can also help; through induction (using wisdom) to gain empi ri cal knowledge. Sources of intui tion a re feeling, experiences and knowledge. An important intuitive method is brainstorming. Intuiti on does not mean to find a solution immedia tel y. Sometimes it helps to sleep ‘on it’. There is an Old Russian ma xi m: \"The morning is wiser than the evening\" (\"Утро вечера мудреннее\"). Intuition plays a key role in Romanticism. A situation which is or appears to be true but violates our intuition is called a paradox (a paradox can also be a logical self-contradiction). An example of this is the Birthday paradox. In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, intuition is one of the basic cognitive faculties, equivalent to what might loosely be called perception. Kant held that our mind casts all of our external intuitions in the form of space, and all of our internal intuitions (memory, thoug ht) in the form of time. Intuitionism is a position in philosophy of mathematics derived from Kant's claim that all mathematical knowledge is knowledge of the pure forms of intuition [Notwithstanding the sublimity of Ethics]. Intuition (MBTI) is one of the four axes of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator .[also used in Proton Thera py] Consciousness and it’s Existential Phenomenology – the counter-intuitive is logic also Controversy From Wikipedia, the f ree ency clopedia. (Redirected from Dispute) see Controv ersy (disambiguation). A controversy is a contentious dispute, a disagreement in opinions over which parties are actively
    10. arguing. Controversies can range from private disputes between two individuals to large -scale social upheavals. Controversies in mathematics and the sciences are generally eventually solved. It is the nature of controversies in the humanities that they cannot generally be conclusively settled and may be accompanied by the disruption of peace and even quarreling. In some cases, this may be because the two sides to a dispute differ so much in their \"givens\" that in effect they are not ha ving the same argument. Ethical Philosophy recognizes that incommensurability in this sense is about Values; which may be cultural in origin – whereby conflict resolutions may require „Dynamic Ethics‟. [Stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Counter-intelligence - From Wikipedia (Redirected from Counterintelligence) Counterintelligence or counter-espionage is the act of seeking and identifying espionage activities; or using it as a 'diversion' to 'false flag' attention from another covert activity. Major nations have organizations which perform this role. Methods include surveillance of suspects and their communications, undercover agents, monitoring the behavior of legally accredited 'diplomatic personnel' (some of whom are sometimes actually spies or spy handlers), and similar means. Treachery is often its mainstay! The biblical story of Joshua and Rehab set in the ‗Fortress of Jericho‘ brings into question moral questions about military intelligence as it has come to be known – the question of Joshua taking Rehab as his wife raises the question of ‗redemption‘ as a spiritual reality; it also raises the problem of moral relativity – which becomes more and more thorny as absolute values are considered in the clear light of judgment. In law as jurisprudence, a controversy differs from a case, which includes all suits criminal as well as civil; a controversy is a purely civil proceeding . In the Constitution of the United States, the judicial power shall extend to controversies to which the United States shall be a party (Article 2, Section 1). In advertising - to try to draw attention to a product or idea by labeling it as controversial, even if the idea has become widely accepted - especially successful in promoting books and films. Intelligence (abbrevia ted int. or intel.) is not information, but the product of evalua ted information, valued for its currency and relevance ra ther than its detail or a ccura cy —in contras t wi th \"data\" whi ch typi call y refers to precise or particular informa tion, or \"fact,\" whi ch typi cally refers to verified i nforma tion. Sometimes called \"acti ve data \" or \"acti ve intelligence\", these typi call y rega rd the current plans , decisions , and a ctions of people, as these ma y ha ve urgency or ma y otherwise be considered \"valuable\" from the point of view of the intelligence -ga thering organi za tion. Acti ve intelligence is trea ted as a cons tantl y mutable component, or va riable, wi thin a la rger equa tion of unders tanding the secret, covert, or otherwise pri va te \"intelligence\" of an opponent, or competitor, to answer ques tions or obtain advance wa rning of events and movements deemed to be important or otherwise relevant. As used by intelligence agencies and related servi ces, \"intelligence\" refers integrall y to both a cti ve da ta as well as the process and the resul t of ga thering and anal yzing such informa tion, as these together form a cohesive network (cf. \"hi ve mi nd\"). In a sense, this usage of \"intelligence\" a t the na tional level ma y be somewha t associated wi th the concept of social intelligence —albei t one whi ch is tied to localized or na tionalist tradi tion, politi cs , la w, and the enforcement thereof. Courtesy of Powerset In Christianity - early Christian writers, among them Irenaeus, Athanasius, and Jerome, were famed as \"controversialists\"; they wrote works against perceived heresy or heretical individuals, works whose titles begin \"Ad versus...\" such as Irenaeus' Ad versus haeresis. Controversy about religious beliefs are often extremely emotional and have begotten the age old adage – two things to avoid talking about are politics and religion – of course excluding these topics could create a situation where deception can work through manipulation – this is often called ‗republicanism‘. Oriental Viewpoint on Existential Phenomenology Watsuji Tetsurô may have written his Fûdo (Climates) in direct response to Being and Time, Emphasis upon the spatial element of human existence is lacking in Western existential philosophers such as Heidinger‘s , the Rinrigaku (A Study of Ethics), argues that , ―human existence is always recognized as an existence with others”, Watsuji objects to the idea that Heidegger‘s Dasein encounters the world before encountering social
    11. relationships. It turns out both of these objections are connected, for Watsuji defines spatiality as the dimension in which relationships take place, and those relationships in turn play a part in creating that spatiality. For Watsuji, social relatedness and spatiality define the world we live in, he sees that Heidegger‟s conception of world is deficient in this dimension. Phenomenological Ontology and Consciousness - Existentialism Early Sartrean philosophy is one of a pursuit of being. First, by phenomenon Sartre refers to the totality of appearances of a thing and not simply a particular appearance. As Wilfrid Desan writes , phenomenology is \"a method which wants to describe all that manifests itself as it manifests itself.\" Moreover, H.J. Blackham observes that in Sartre, \"the objects of consciousness, the phenomena, the appearances of things, disclose what is really there as it really is, though never exhaustively.\" Blackham continues: Consciousness implies and refers to an existence other than its own and to its own existence as a question. It is this relation of the pour-soi to the en-soi which is the foundation (and the only condition) of knowledge and action. Knowledge is necessarily intuition, the presence of consciousness to the object which it is not . This is the original condition of all experience. Before the object is defined and interpreted, consciousness constitutes itself by separating itself from it. Second, most commentators claim that Sartre preferred ontology to metaphysics because the former, as the study of being as being, presupposes the traditional claim of the precedence of essence over existence and the existence of human nature. Moreover, although ontology denotes the study of being, it \"does not revive the ghosts of substance, soul, and God.\" [L‟san Esprit] ……. the basic characteristic of consciousness is its dynamicity, spontaneity, and freedom. He follows Husserl's principle of the intentionality of consciousness. Consciousness is first and foremost a consciousness of something. ……there is no being outside of that precise obligation to be revealing intuition of something - i.e. of a transcendent being. All forms of consciousness are likewise intentional. Imagination, as a form of consciousness, is intentional. One cannot just imagine, he must always be imagining something. Furthermore, even emotional consciousness is intentional. When Sartre defined emotion as a certain way of apprehending the world, it implies that emotion is a way of relating to the world. In this relation; consisting of the intentionality of emotions - when one loves, he always loves something or somebody. Yet the counter-intuitive is generally not considered as strictly speaking – conscious; and not necessarily unconscious either. Love is considered the greatest of virtues – it can also be the most debase of passions. Second, subjectivity is the consciousness of consciousness. Sartre says that consciousness is a being, the nature of which is to be conscious of its being. When applied to man, Sartre further claims that for man – this is; the reason that man thinks. Finally, Is consciousness a ‗nothingness‘? It is nothingness in the sense that it is always not ‗that thing‘. It is always in the making, and to try to view it as permanent is to do inj ustice to its very definition. ―What is man that you are mindful of him;…..‖ Complexities of Living Tissue Coastal Cleanup Logo Battle for the Mind – Drugs Kill

Med nanotechnology Cancer Fighting Stem Cells Zhang – Neural Stem Cells Optics – Semiotic Recognition Stem Cells Process Model Motor Neuron Stem Cell Pluripotential - Blastocytes EGH - Study Reveals How Growth Factors Affect Human Stem Cells ScienceDaily (Oct. 11, 2000) — October 10, 2000 —In a research article published in the October 10, 2000, issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, research teams led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Douglas A. Melton and Hebrew University geneticist Nissim Benvenisty report that they applied eight growth factors to cultured human embryonic stem cells to observe their effects on cell differentiation. Human embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into any of the specialized cell types found in the human body. Their developmental fate is influenced by the activity of a number of cellular signals, including growth factors. \"Until now, no one had reported extensive and systematic studies on human embryonic stem cells,\" said Melton, who is at Harvard University. ……………\"In the best of all possible worlds, one would like to find growth factors that could be added to a human embryonic stem cell to make it become a cardiomyocyte to replace defective heart muscle or a pancreatic beta cell for trans plantation into diabetics,\" said Melton. \"But these studies strongly suggest that finding such a factor will be exceedingly unlikely.\" Also, said Melton, the finding that most of the growth factors inhibit differentiation of specific cell types suggests that use of growth factor inhibitors might prove as important as inducers in directing stem cell differentiation. Ultimately, he said, controlling stem cell differentiation will likely involve a strategy that employs multiple growth factors in a certain order and at certain times. \"It may be a bit like educating a child, in which you don't designate children in kindergarten as doctors, lawyers or surgeons, but you give them some kind of general education.

Footnotes 1. In Figure 7, we show four analogous actions involved in the \"Fogal engine\". Figure 7A shows the start of the \"down stroke\" of the Fogal emitter piston, so to speak, and the formation of the DC electromagnetic field. Figure 7B shows the signal injection into the cylinder from the injector base region, as the emitter piston pulls the signal into the chamber. Figure 7C shows the compression of electron density an d the formation of the amplified E-field due to the charge compression, with a resulting expansion of the Poynting energy den sity flow. Figure 7D shows the point of discharge of the Poynting energy density flow, the resulting AC supercurrent, an d the collapse of the DC electromagnetic field of the emitter piston. 2.

Researching Charge and Poynting Flow in Circuits - Charged Barrier Fogal Engine Putting together all the actions we have discussed, we may compare the electromagnetic actions as the actions of a special kind of engine cycling, as shown in Figure 7. 4. Communicative action is a concept associated with the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. Habermas uses this concept to describe agency in the form of communication, which under his understanding is restricted to deliberation, i.e the free exchange of beliefs and intentions under the absence of domination. a. In sociological terms, the communicative action is a social action that can be compared to instrumental action (self-interested), normative action (adapted to a shared value system) or dramaturgical action (one which is designed to be seen by others and to optimize our public self-image). Habermas claims that all of those actions are parasitic upon the communicative action, which goes beyond them (Habermas, 1991, volume 1., pp.82-101). 5. Definition [Computers]. Ontology is a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization. It is an abstract model of some phenomena in the world, explicitly represented as concepts, relationships and constraints, which is machine-readable and incorporates the consensual knowledge of some community. 6. In philosophy, ontology (from the Greek ὄν, genitive ὄντος: of being (part. of εἶναι: to be) and -λογία: science, study, theory) is the most fundamental branch of metaphysics. Ontology is the study of being or existence and its basic categories and relationships. It seeks to determine what entities can be said to \"exist\", and how these entities can be grouped according to similarities and differences. Ontology is distinguished from epistemology, the study of knowledge and what can be known. 7. Ontology, Society, and Ontotheology Joseph A.

    15. 9. “Nanowire battery can hold 10 times the charge of existing lithium-ion battery” Stanford News Service; Stanford Report, December 18, 2007 The electrical storage capacity of a Li-ion battery is limited by how much lithium can be held in the battery's anode, which is typically m ade of carbon. Silicon has a much higher capacity than carbon, but has a drawback. Silicon placed in a battery swells as it absorbs positively charged lithium atoms during charging, then shrinks during use as the lithium is drawn out of the silicon. This expand/shrink cycle typically causes the silicon (often in the form of particles or a thin film) to pulverize, degrading the performance of the battery. Cui's battery gets around this problem with nanotechnology. The lithium is stored in a forest of tiny silicon nanow ires, each with a diameter one -thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper. The nanowires inflate four times their normal size as they soak up lithium . But, unlike other silicon shapes, they do not fracture.

    16. Historic Insight at the Millennial Moment This wor k will strive to “put the love back into philosophy”; it will utilize a “new” comprehension of “metaphysics” in order to “bridge the gap” between ontogeny and the “ontological” . There is a “great deal of controversy” which will be elucidate here *after a great deal of resear ch and verification+ – a caution to the reader; if you are a dogmatist; neo-fascist; super republican or ordinar y despot you needn’t read any further because you will be “greatly insulted” – ple ase….for your own sake put the book away and don’t read any further; a great refutation of contemporary mythology follow s. Millennial Jubilees are worthy subjects for Philosophic Discourse – even more so as the “Information Age” accelerates – the apropos metaphor of a “Global Village” is also quite right as the “light wave” t ransverses the “wide and expansive” world bringing joy and sorrow; insight and litany to the tragic story of “civilization’s history” . The western world was greeted with a \"most peculiar\" Millennium Day - Jan 1, 2000; where the temperature rose to 70 degrees - this \"radiant moment\" was not global either [of a summer day during the coldest part of the winter] because it's \"shadow\" cast a long cold snap over Russia and Siberia during this same time period. The Ontogeny of the \"Christian Millennium\" - relates to mankind's relationship with the alm ighty through his son. The importance of eschatological factors cannot be \"underestimated\" [negle cted] when assessing the \"millennial moment\"; which in due order this presentation will rely upon for proof and allegory. Seekers of truth can be \"edified\" be cause the \"celebrations\" which these diverse \"jubilees\" have placed upon the table of \"historic insight\" are not only invaluable but awe inspiring as well. In as much as they \"bear witness\" of that \"discrete ontogeny\" which creation itself has provided for. Metaphysics - notwithstanding; the ontogeny of the \"living world\" corresponding with a bene volent creator [God is Good] has brought forth a plethora of amazing and truly useful technologies which are vit al to efficient caretaking of Earth's bountiful resources; mankind's wellbeing and remarkably - correspondence [as a toe hold] with a vast and immeasur able universe. Communication in the Information Age demands \"Semaphores’ @ Light Speed\" - this correspondence using the symbolic languages of mankind’s millennial developments makes the great and expansive world of our habitation seem a little more like the \"global village\" which advocates of the \"space age\" predicted. Yet without a transform ation of what theology requites as \"Agape Love\" this great potential will degenerate into the violent confusion of e arth's milieu - a failed ethos of strife and brut al subjection of others for the cause of wealth and power; both of which are available in more amenable forms and with far less wasted effort. Even though people speak of and understand great and am azing things - without love for one another; they become distorted and vain. Ancient seekers of wisdom understood that \"two things are too wonderful to comprehend\" - The harmony of the spheres and the leap of faith; placing one's complete faith in God. Ancient Modalities in art and music remind \"modern man\" of the sensibilities of our ancestors - Harmony put to useful purpose . Yet faith is still uncertain - as if a terrible adversary were attempting to prevent this adamant connection.
    17. Reassurance of good will begins with trust, empowering confidence to fulfill a useful and therefore meaningful purpose . Being able to trust in oneself and others is the first step towards well being. Still there is a tremendous stumbling block - self de ception; \"man is evil from his youth onwards......who can know it. There is none righteous; no not one!\" admonishes the holy one spe aking in the Hebrew Scriptures. Love is the \"difference\" which cannot be \"figured out\"; it's presence subordinates everything else, but with a \"humble grace” transcending one's understanding. This is the best introduction to philosophy at the millennial moment - standing at the proverbial \"crossroads of history\" and seeking intercession for the sake of those caught up at \"societies annihilating edge\". Tolerance and great patience are necessary to restore \"the gorgon's knot\" of history because great confusion has overwhelmed the human fam ily; requiring discernment of a common history even as it is being shared and discovered - globally. It is therefore wise to counsel, that spiritual truth comes through pr ayer and meditation with the ONE [holy and separate] who dwells beyond time and space. Whose cause is just and always righteous hoping to maintain the \"enthusiasm for work\" in this \"moment\" requires observation of \"highly ordered activities\" such as econom y, culture and of course religion. The question of cross-cultural misanthropy during the so-called \"Age of Discovery\" in which Western Sea-Faring peoples spread faith based religion which they adopted from a much different cultural tradition has begotten \"apologetics\" and their \"reconciliation\" . Which at the Millennium have diverged greatly from a rapidly developing global civilization based upon material greed. This is what the Bible terms - the great apostasy [turning away] and is by no me ans confined to Christianity. Here is a poem which provides an ethos - things to be desired; written by Max Ehrmann in 1927 Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and cle arly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignor ant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and le sser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
    18. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark im aginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline , be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful - strive to be happy. . The question here is about \"insight\" - do these desiderat a provide for \"Grasping the inner nature of things intuitively\". Indeed it does - this is compelling ethos which can renew the mind and strengthen the seekers resolve \"with kindness\". So ethics m ay gr asp the \"inner nature of things\"; intuitively - such that things which are desired will \"keep peace in your soul\". Holy Scripture states a very similar \"blessing\" to those – who after Abraham \"look for a city whose builder and m aker is god.\" \"May he keep you in perfect peace; because you trusted in him Trust always in the Lord your God; for he is the Rock of Ages\" In fact the oldest evidence of \"Biblical Worship\" ever found in Israel is the \"Aaronic Blessing\" which is used worldwide in Christian Worship as well.
    19. \"May the Lord Bless you and keep you - May he lift up his countenance upon you\" \"and give you pe ace; now and forever - Amen\" Religion should not be the enemy of Philosophy - for true religion gives philosophy its greatest motivation; love for one another. This purpose proposes \"singleness of mind\" - \"a sound m ind - a clean heart\". A sound ethics are at the heart of every effective philosophy, a “universally re cognized example” is when Paul the Apostle [Saul of Tarsus] admonished his \"listeners\" at Mar s Hill in Athens Greece; \"take care - lest anyone spoil you through philosophies\" - it is quite certain that one's resolution is the \"obje ct\" to be \"guarded\". It is not only Western Philosophy that rebukes those who \"chase\" every new idea that emerges into society; but Eastern as well counsels restraint and single mindedness of purpose. Joy comes when the Totality of this wor ld's misanthropy is pierced by the Infinity of God's loving kindne ss [GRACE]. This \"transcendence\" is for the \"saving of the soul\" which is in \"lieu of JUDGEMENT\". Love of God transforms the soul through the Holy Spirit to an \"enlightened\" understanding of \"casualty\". Wisdom reminds - to fear God is the beginning of wisdom; to fear the lord - becomes understanding. The Spiritual Division – In this world but not of it – The Holy Spirit admonishes! Eunoesis - a true ‘understanding’ of proper spiritual discernment Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because m any false prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1) May the Great Spirit give you Peace! - Take care lest anyone steal your JOY! Meaning and Purpose are co-adjunct motivators of hum anity. Without meaning, purpose is counter-intuitive - dry, arid, often confused. The person corresponds through sem antic Ontologies with the “radiant world”; otherwise as it is colloquially stated – misguided purpose begets \"the vicious circle\". The true crisis in correspondence - especially with \"reality\" is realizing the very great deceit which has been perpetrated historically. This “phenomenon” is often called “semantic drift” and in the “Information Age” will become an increasing problem. This “time of refreshing” as the world communities are enjoying it - is not trivial either; likewise Semantic Web technology designed for this Global Enterprise shows great promise. It is a great thing to recall: that \"a day is as a thousand years; and a thousand ye ars - one day\". The rebirth of the Nation of Israel even unto Jerusalem 3000 has been a cause of turmoil and grief for the vast majority of World Jewry and Christians alike. Yet the \"times of refreshing\" have come. This little \"book\" honors this reality and exhorts those who will listen - take up the GOOD BOOK; and CHERISH IT. It is worthwhile to repeat a central theme - 'the leap of faith' and ‘the harmony of the spheres’! Faith is necessary to reconcile “reason” with “purpose”. This explains Relativity *in both the special and generalized sense+ and it’s “uncertainty principle”. Reading “the mind of God” presupposes that “his” creation contains information; which most certainly it does. Yet in order to “correspond” with this “discernment” – a relationship with this “Creator – God” become expedient; this is good – since scripture
    20. states emphatically; “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him”. This difference: between faith and reason; actually defines what traditionalists term “metaphysics”; yet it is the practice of subverting reason with divination and cultural prejudice which creates mistrust of it within “ecclesiastical” traditions. Acceptance of correction is the rod which measures “reason”. In the Judeo-Christian tradition – The deity; Almighty God…..is the author of Faith. “Faith comes through hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Lack of this gift is tragic; “For without faith it is impossible t o please God”. Its purpose is salvation; yet “faith without works is de ad”…..remanding the sinner “Salvation is by Grace alone …..lest any man should boast”. “Come let us reason together”…..the prophet Isaiah records – “though your sins be as scarlet, yet shall they be come as white as snow.” Gr ace then is the manifestation of God’s love; especially in consideration of free will and the “quasi autonomy” of our “classic observer”. The dichotomy *reason and purpose + is m anifest as “material reality” and its “energy”; confronting observation with “ choice” and this “choice” demands resolution. Is correspondence with “truth” the “determinant” of uncertainty or will choice be based upon the probability which determines “statistical analysis”. Like the “noble” cosign in its relationship to the infinite pi….the spirit has given utterance – “Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of that which is unseen”. Symbolic meaning and words – Words and their symbolic representation are metaphysical [and spiritual] coordinating the will. The observers volition [will power] is confronted with an immense cosmology poised for action. Here is the division of soul and spirit [in their oneness]. Conceptualization and Visualization require axiom atic Semantics for \"ontological\" interpretation. This is “metaphysical” – where “abstract reason” can \"Correspond\" with the “real world” and its ‘complex’; ‘adaptive’ and ‘living e cosystems’. An observation of a given systems’ “information behavior” [interactivity] becomes “ cognitive” *conscious] and may be understood as an ‘intuitive’ process. How these “ideas” shape visualization [cognition of “abstract entities”] fulfills a discrete “yet highly” organized use to which such concepts and their utility are purposed in desi gn - for the discourse of this visualization. A sense of being “ categorical” then - is not ontology”; but semantic – the sense of providing such an entity with a “framework” for observation and discourse. This relationship between “symbolic logic” in its correspondence with a “real and living world” provides a basis for metaphysical frameworks – this Semiotic representation *after the Greek+ provides “Noesis” [knowledge of w hat it represents]. The eidetic, didactic, pedagogic and other “cognitive modalities” corresponds as ways of communicating with a widely distributed “human family”. Yet – ethics and moral uprightness rest upon an even “firmer foundation” – the relationship between people and their Creator [as ultim ate progenitor]. As it is written – “The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof – the world and those who dwell therein.” This places moral values and their ethics as the reasonable duty family and society in general. The problem of KNOWLEDGE and the KNOWER becomes ontological - Empir ical Truth requires justification and appropriate authority [The Golden Censor as Interlocutor]. Usurpations of Authority must be justified and in retrospect – examination of history yields this Postulate – the time honored Birthright principal provide s both authority and justification; but not if applied with an unethical purpose , immoral values or “reprobate” concepts! An appropriate “millennial moment” which underscores this “enigma” is the “return to Zion” which began 140 years ago in 1870. In the course of gaining “international power” through “intrigue” and global w ar “elite European bankers” usurped authority from Zionists *educators, religious leaders, physicians,
    21. journalists] during the Nazi Holocaust - this was in spite of Nazism’s failure to annihilate her people and prevent the nation from being founded at all. For the people of Isr ael who must live in the “shadow” of this ‘inappropriate compromise’; speaking of “justice”- does little good….for it is written – “the love of money is the root of “ALL” evil”! For Jewish people [whether of true faith or pretenders] participating either directly [knowingly] or indire ctly [unknowingly] in this insidious plot *for it “spans” many generations]; continual attempts at self justification are evident. This “dam ascene cloud” of doubt and despair “dogs” many people but “god’s spirit” strengthens them to overcome the doubt and experience the joy of Israel’s renewal and becoming! The enemy of man’s soul is constantly attempting to “gauge” through its “grip” of the “counter -intuitive” what a person’s “conscious intention” might be? This paradox of faith confounds “youth” in that their “eidetic” process is constantly overwhelmed by that which by design can somehow “tempt” them to depart from “the straight and narrow”. This is why Je sus counseled his “listeners” not to “resist evil” *which could be dangerous+ but to “flee from its temptation” – metaphorically; remain steadfast in faith. Many consider that “econom ic considerations” outweigh ethical conduct and it’s affect on mor al values. They are “bad actors” who continually assert that the “magnitude of their talent” can only be measured “by the validity of its continual repositioning”. Such are politicians who seek to make clever “allegorical assertions” about their country and culture; but whose “cognitive framework” cannot overcome the “ingrained prejudice” of their own “peer group”. This is why scripture warns “the children of Isr ael” – “many in Israel are not “ISRAEL” but have “crept in – unaw ares” and in reference to the “new covenant” this includes the gentiles as well. The y want everyone to believe that they possess some type of “visionary intelligence” which others lack or have not developed; but balk when their competence is challenged or the moral significance of their actions is brought into public debate! The job of ethics is to compel Art as Profession to the edification of mor al values. Love of wisdom can be very inspiring. Ethics – a Noesis in “the metaphysics” Putting “LOVE” back into philosophy corresponds w ith the cultural restoration w hich “historic insight” at Millennium has discovered being wrought. This kind of love needs to be AGAPE – PHILOS a love that knows no me asure. A sound ecclesiastical adage which bears ethical st andards – “ love the sinner; hate the sin”; seems more than appropriate. 8a \"One path only is left for us to speak of: that it is. On this path there are a multitude of indications that what-is, being ‘ungenerated’, is also imperishable, whole, of a single kind, immovable and complete.

The Semantic Web is discovered – developmentally; here is a 4000 year old Cairn from Wales Maen y Bardd prehistoric undisturbed uplands Conwy valley North Wales Some celebrations of traditional culture and folklore were shared via Motion Pictures: Keisha Castle-Hughes as Pai - Ngāti Konohi Whale Rider: humpback whales Paikea - Whale Rider – another movie by the same producers - Rapa Nui - Easter Island According to legend, Paikea came to New Zealand from the Pacific Islands on the back of a w hale m any centuries ago. His descendants include the Kati Kuri people of Kaikoura. Paike a was the youngest and favorite son of the chief Uenuku from the island of Mangaia in the present day Cook Islands. This favoritism made Paike a's elder brothers extremely jealous. They conspired to kill Paike a while fishing offshore and tell Uenuku he drowned. But the night before the trip Paikea feigned sleep and overheard his brothers plotting. When far out to sea; Paike a foiled their plan by deliberately sinking the canoe and drowning his brothers. Now adrift in a great oce an, Paikea clung to a canoe plank and aw aited his ow n death. It was then that Tohora the whale appeared and lifted Paikea onto his great back. Tohora took Paikea south to New Zealand and the settlement of Whangar a just north of present day Gisborne . Here, Paikea began a new and prosperous life . Many years later one of Paike a's sons, Tahupotiki, travelled further south and became the founder of the great South Island tribe of Ngai Tahu. It is from Tahupotiki and Paikea that the Ngai Tahu and Kati Kuri of Kaikoura claim descent. From - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Māori name Hawaiki refers to the mythical land to which some Polynesian cultures trace their origins. It may also refer to an underworld in many Māori stories, and in Mangaia in the Cook Islands. Tregear (1891:392) records that the Cook Islands Maori w ord Avaiki only means \"underworld\".

    23. A Fresh Look at „The Metaphysics‟ Is there a need to discern the difference between mind and spirit? And is the extreme difficulty of answering this question actually the great mystery of psychology and its relationship to ethics. Meditation is a practice which most people have not mastered – this is evident in the irrational way in which decisions are made – in general. One theme which philosophy can „handle‟ is to help „the world‟ in seeking truth; with the temerity to point to the higher wisdom of Faith when truth becomes all too „elusive‟. It is difficult to equate Love with Truth; because often the truth hurts; especially if it is the truth which must transcend controversy – if God is love then; we can trust him with this terrible thing while being thankful to actually know the truth. Ontology 1 -- (metaphysics – philosophic discourse on the nature of being and existence) Is the tru th or falsity of a statement determined only by how it relates to the world, and whether it accurately describes (i.e., corresponds with) that world? Truth cannot be \"determined\" by its correspondence with reality alone - but its representation forms a basis through which truth [as Identity] ca n be understood. From Bonjour: - Is the Coherence Theory Adequate for “Truth” Truth is said to consist in the agreement of knowledge with the object. According to this mere verbal definition, then, my knowledge, in order to be true, must agree with the object. Now, I can only compare the object with my knowledge by this means, namely, by taking knowledge of it. My knowledge, then, is to be verified by itself, which is far from being sufficient for truth. Such a circle in explanation was called by the ancients Diallelos. And the logicians were accused of this fallacy by the skeptics, who remarked that this account of truth was as if a man before a judicial tribunal should make a statement, and appeal in support of it to a witness whom no one knows, but who defends his own credibility by saying that the man who had called him as a witness is an honorable man.[23] Classical definition of knowledge as: i - Belief ii - True iii - Justified The \"knower\" has \"apprehension\" of being justified. This \"apprehension\" needs be \"coherent\" to \"others\". The purpose of \"needful\" justification must seemingly be itself a conceptual apprehension in that the knower comprehends that others may not necessarily see things this way.  Does this ‘represent’ a \"coherence theory of justification\"!  Is such an apprehension of the ‘given’ - necessarily non-conceptual and non-propositional – hence [Counter-intuitive]? Is this ‘coherence’ immune from error?  What if the \"apprehension\" of what is ‘given’ is not \"coherent\" at all?  Is this the discernment of the difference between intuitive and the counter -intuitive.  Do Truth and 'Correspondence' in a coherent representation – become discourse?
    24. Scientific Observation; [as Perception of Reality] is often given as empirical truth; without sprit however – these truths are deemed abstract. Theological Observation is generally ‘esoteric’ [unobservable - hidden] hence the need for confirmation; one example of which is the ( 3) synoptic gospels which fulfill the ‘Hebrew Sciptures’ requirement for testimony of \"two or three witnesses\" “What distinguishes Christianity from all other religions is not its morality - Buddhism promotes moral behavior; not its longevity - Hinduism is older; but its claim that God became man and redeemed the world by his own sacrifice. This is Christianity's strongest attribute, since it can stand the test of history and historical empiricism. We can prove what others only theorize, meditatively conjure, or feel. It is also Christianity's greatest vulnerability, because if one could disprove Jesus and his resurrection, one would disprove Christianity itself. If Buddha never lived, the moral principles of Buddhism would survive. If Krishna was not a manifestation of God, the philosophical ideas of Hinduism would still be entertained. But if Jesus did not live, die, and rise again immortal in his physical body, then the very basis of Christianity is destroyed. Judicial and Islamic expert Sir Norman Anderson remarked, Christianity is, truly, \"the witness of history\" - it’s original followers died not for a system of rituals or a list of behaviors, but for the empirically verified and historically preserved fact of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the apostle Paul said, \"If Christ is not raised, our faith is vain and we are of all people most miserable\" (1 Cor. 15:17).” Emmanuel Levinas calls God – „the absolute other‟ and in Otherwi se than Being he use s the term „otherwise than being‟ (Totality and Infinity. Dickens University Press 2001 pp. 34-35) You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free! Messiah also warned those who listen to: ‘beware of those who love a lie’. This is the controversy of Ethics in relation to intelligence and the age old question of knowing and the knower. Laws as rules of inference – „Justification‟ as Purpose in “meaning” Despite its obvious interest and importance, however, it does not seem to me that the semantic conception of truth helps in any way to solve the problem of truth with which we are presently concerned, viz. the problem of how a true empirical belief or statement is related to the world of which it is true. Bonjour is asserting that the application of truth to the real world is just as important (if not more so) – than discernment of its integral qualities discretely. Coherence theory of truth is integral to all comprehensive systems A pervasive tenet is the idea that truth is primarily a property of whole systems of propositions and can be ascribed to individual propositions only derived at (discerned) according to their coherence with the whole. Holistic Systems - Squaring the Jacobean and finding its determinant Holism (from???? Holos, a Greek word meaning all, entire, total) is the idea that all the
    25. properties of a given system (biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) cannot be determined or explained by the sum of its component parts alone. Instead, the system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave. The general principle of holism was concisely summarized by Aristotle in the Metaphysics: \"The whole is more than the sum of its parts\". Reductionism is seen as the opposite of holism. Reductionism in science says that a complex system can be explained by reduction to its fundamental parts. Essentially, chemistry is reducible to physics, biology is reducible to chemistry and physics, and psychology and sociology are reducible to biology, etc. Theories of truth Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:  Consensus theor y  Truth  Correspondence theory  Coherence theory  Deflationary theory  Correspondence theory  Epistemic theory  Deflationary theory  Identity theor y  Indefinability theory  Revision theory  Pragmatic theory  Tarski's definition  Redundancy theory  Axiomatic theories – [the Adage]/Wisdom  Semantic theory Visualization - cleaning our lenses Semantics – the meaning of words; is an “exacting” discipline – and its relationship to what today is called Information theory is equally “discrete”. Here is a quote – “Information is a semantic unity” - which others have argued as “ontologies are tautological; or they are not Ontology” . This quotation from Tim Berners-Lee; the WWW protagonist; presents a “catharsis” of: A Semantic Web is not Artificial Intelligence (search for Article). Information becomes the “paradox” to be resolved through an “ontological” tautology. This is “ system s thinking” at its be st – logic abhors tautology – being is “immersed” in it. Ontogeny \"Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit cannot be severed; for, the effect already blooms in the cause, the end pre -exists in the means, the fruit in the seed.\" Ralph Waldo Emerson The Ontogeny of Environmental Biology and it’s Bioethics Zoonosis- Reference > Zoonosis Updates Adapt ation and the Tree of Life The word is derived from the Greek words zoon (animal) (pronounced as zoo-on) and nosos (disease). Many serious diseases fall under this category. The plural of zoonosis is zoonoses, from which an alternative singular zoonose is derived by back-formation. The simplest definition of a
    26. Zoonosis is a disease that can be transmitted from other animals to humans. A slightly more technical definition is a disease that normally exists in other animals, but also infects humans. The emerging interdisciplinary field of conservation medicine, which integrates human and veterinary medicine, and environmental sciences, is largely concerned with zoonoses. Genomic research and its malediction – Evolutionary Biology (the Biology of Living Systems) Transfer Factor – Immune Response from 4Life – T Cell dynamics The HIV Virus - eBola An Idea of Value for Semantic Ontologies Semantic Ontologies express the basis of relationships; true correspondence and mutual understanding amongst \"sentient beings\". One must differentiate Ontology as being from the comprehended ontological in order to appreciate that \"being\" is what generally is termed \"consciousness\" – living ‘creatures’ as ALIVE; provide for ONTOGENY. The sense of naming “species” within the “Tree of Life” is fundamental to ONTOLOGY. Semantics offers a dichotomy to consider; Etiology and Ethnology - causation and casualty. Etiology is ontological and is the root of \"myth and folklore\" - Ethnology may explain why certain \"species\" [of the human genera] are fond of making up stories about the Natural world. Etymology then must consider ontogeny, etiology and a generalized Ethnology of a human family which evolution denies. Metaphysical Concepts - Time and Electro-Magnetics as Unified Field Theory In 1837 Sir W.R. Hamilton said, \"The notion of time may be unfolded into an independent pure science... a science of pure time is possible.\" As is well-known, the fundamental units utilized in physics are arbitrary. It is even possible to construct all of physics on a single unit, time. This oddity shows the truth in Hamilton's statement; it is even odder, because in quantum mechanics time is not an observable. This means that the observable world can be modeled completely in terms of the non-observable, which is essentially what modern quantum mechanics is now doing.

Whittaker's previously unnoticed 1903-1904 papers which established a hidden bidirectional EM wave structure in a standing force-field free scalar potential, a method of directly engineering the ambient potential of the vacuum has been developed and realized experimentally. Adding Whittaker's engineer-able hidden variable theory to classical electro-magnetics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity produces supersets of each discipline. These supersets are joined by the common Whittaker subset, producing a unified field theory that is engineer-able and tested. T.E. Bearden & F.

    28. Ontogeny and its ONTOLOGY – questions of a philosophical nature After reading a modern philosopher like Edward Levinas – ‘Totality and Infinity’; the matter is much clearer - ontology and Noesis are co-adjunct operators in the \"metaphysics\" - In the time of Golden Age of Greek Philosophy this noetic [\"inner knowing\"] framework was the didactic [teaching] of geometry, ethics and logic. Yet – it is difficult to practice what you preach if your society is extremely immoral or even depraved. Today the \"Golden Age of Physics\" has propelled a global society into \"stellar space\" using another aspect of this \"noetic framework\" and that is eidetic Noesis [\"the ability to sense or know something immediately\"] - which is \"photographic\" quality visualization. Yet the semantics remain ‘adamant’ - this is good! This is most certainly true of bioethics - one of the most compelling \"interdisciplinary\" fields; where even basic conceptions of western civilization can be challenged due to the \"misanthropy\" of its \"medical and physiological experimentations\". One of the most recent examples of this is the \"HIV/AIDS pandemic\" which has become a ‘mega-disaster’- with more than 10 million victims worldwide. Artist’s view of cellular antibodies cancerous vs. healthy macrophage – ‘antigen’ A ‘moral philosopher’ – Arne Naess; has discerned ‘Deep Ecology’ which was not ‘anthropocentric’ and which recognized principles of ‘biospherical egalitarianism’, ‘diversity and symbiosis’. Naess advocates decentralization, from ‘Shallow Ecology’, the merely anthropocentric environmentalism which sought to conserve the earth's resources (whether beauty or fossil fuels) primarily for man's use. Likewise the ‘Ten Trusts’ of Jane Goodall and her work to save the Primates of Central Africa is a sublime insight into why protection of their ‘primordial habitat’ is a perfect example of a practical application of ethical philosophy. As sound bioethics; this TRUST – provides the motivation that emotional intelligence can draw
    29. upon when confronted with the irrational destructions of the natural world. This distinction serves to ‘illuminate’ failures of irresponsible medicine manifest in the Global Aids Epidemic and its generalized hysteria and lack of comprehensive understanding. Evidently medical science has no empathy for other species [primates for example – as scientists such as Jane Goodall (The Ten Trusts) advises. Human ‘experimentation’ (for whatever purpose) is completely unethical; especially when a viable alternative exists - nor can bioethics consider Zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans) as anything but completely unthinkable. This is the true SIV – HIV/AIDS controversy; where the commutative intent of a highly respected Institution (in this case the British Royal Academy) is used to effectively censor all debate. Because global government promotes genetically Modified Plants for ‘widespread distribution’ - yet stifle legitimate medical use of genomic diagnosis technologies and effectively impede medical integration of genomics with stem cell biosynthesis (pathologic and preventative intercession). Virus shell – stripped of Genetic ‘material’ Immune Response SIV/HIV Aids Another controversy exists over the question of the origin of the Aids pandemic! Zoonoses – is not evolution – nor can it be regarded as symbiosis; these terms may apply to HIV/AIDS pan demic \"prognosis\" but will survive not a \"parse c\" (sidereal time) in the institutionalized world of the Worl d Health Organization and it's pharm acological based medicine . An important footnote is that ‘indeed’ - t he Salk vaccine was wholly adequate to ‘effectively prevent’ Polio Mellitus. This viewpoint is ‘contrary’ to the ‘official’ position – especially considering the complete denial of it originally. The controversy over Antigen-Specific Immune Responses and their relationship to general health and well being has revealed that emotional intelligence functions to maintaining homeostasis; implications for the human psyche are compelling.  The Science of Psychology and its relationship to Hum an Development has become quite another question as the private-public partnership of Faith based Organizations becomes an important component in governmental affairs [historically].
    30. Knowledge representation systems The true crisis in correspondence - especially with \"reality\" is realizing the very great deceit which has been perpetrated historically. Cosmic convergence is heralded by the vast changes in Earth's global weather patterns [thermodynamics]; this physical yet unpredicted change; however – threatens to transcend even the havoc of waste and destruction which mankind's greed is creating. Spiritual Consciousness; in sympathy with those suffering terrible loss; looks to a \"Holy God\" whose \"ways are far past finding out\". The spirit our ears and eyes receives “patience” from: to understand or if not - to search for the truth....this is harmony with cosmic convergence. The Universe is converging; space and time are actually warped by the incredible power of the cosmos which is \"invested\" in our relatively tiny \"Planet Earth\". Our millennia have \"jubilees\"; celebrations of history and cultural traditions. Globally all can give thanks – truly; the amount of intercultural reconciliation is greater than anyone could ever have predicted. Why is this? The Millennia are being \"discovered\" This means our unity will also be restored - Meaning and Purpose are co-adjunct motivators of ontology [expressive]; and society in general. Without meaning, purpose is counter-intuitive and begets as it is colloquially stated - \"the vicious circle\". Millennial Moments Mood: chillin' Now Playing: En-Raptures - Topic: Historic Insights Discernment of Harmonic Convergence of the “physical” requires Spiritual Consciousness - this so-termed “higher consciousness” is “ontogenous” – One with being. Infosystems Intelligence ‘discovers’ the holistic unity of the natural world as an ‘ontological ontogeny’; in and of itself. Our perception of it is also has ‘moment’ - observation by a living soul. This unity of body and soul is known as spirituality. And we are forewarned— only two spirits exist; that which is good and that which is reprobate…..these spirits act derisively *against each other+ and are the source of hostility and it’s human neurosis. Ontogeny is based upon living systems and their highly discrete purpose [survival]. The Hebrew Scriptures inscribe that Almighty God dwells in unapproachable light….his creation must be endowed with some very great qualities as well. Hubble in its 100,000 th orbit of the Earth (August 8, 2008) – captured galactic collisions and ‘convergences’ (Revelatory)
    31. Composite Images from Hubble Deep Space Telescope and other ‘Planetary observatories’ of Galactic Clustering There is apparently considerable misunderstanding about \"ethics\" and its moral values. When it is written that \"all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god\"; sin must be atoned for.....crime therefore will be punished. Deceit; hypocrisy and it's \"counterfeit-intelligence\" are all works and character traits of that \"wicked one\" which the Holy Spirit will rebuke. Whether it is the \"axiomatic semantics of first order logic\" or the ideologue of folk wisdom - \"god fearing\" people; what ‘ought to’ - will be. The milieu does not seem to grasp this; secular humanism and its evolutionary theories clutch at madness - why is this? Man is evil from his youth onwards - who can know it! The global Opium trade is one long-term example of this. Are these arguments unconvincing; consider this – the chemicals which DOPE is produced from are produced by reputable companies – but in spite of the cost to society – CRIME; PRISONS; CRMINAL JUSTICE; LAW ENFORCEMENT;MENTAL ILLNESS;DEATH – there is no public voice which has ever been raised against the manufactures’ nor any major litigation tried for just retribution. Ontogeny provides the \"superstructure\" which a living world and its living systems abide in. This \"cosmos\" is more than the elements; it is also the very nature of reality. Super symmetry - time reversal invariance - holistic ecology; these all \"emanate\" from \"spiritual intelligence\". The uncanny similitude between the aloe plant and moon jelly fish transcends habitat; but requires ideal conditions for optimal growth. Such ‘morphological symmetry’ permeates Nature. It is written that \"the worlds are made of things which do not appear\"! The \"developments\" which are being considered as the World Wide Web - are \"converging\"; i.e. - becoming interoperable with each other. This is an important focus of the \"Semantic Web\". Paradigm shifts of this kind generate \"social networks and their clouds”; a generally accepted practice in the highly abstract realm of cyberspace. These technologies provide a basis for eGovernment (highly efficient) to utilize commutative reason and its communicative action. Semiotics, semiotic studies, or semiology is the study of signs and symbols, both individually and grouped into sign systems. It includes the study of how meaning is constructed and understood. This discipline is frequently seen as having important anthropological dimensions. However, some ‘Semioticians’ focus on the logical dimensions of the science. They examine areas belonging also to the natural sciences - such as how organisms make predictions about, and adapt to, their semiotic niche in the world (see semiosis). In general, semiotic theories take signs or sign systems as their object of study: the communication of information in living organisms is covered in biosemiotics or zoo-semiosis [consider as Bioethical issues]. Syntactics [1] is the branch of semiotics that deals with the formal properties of signs and symbol s. Terminology The term, which was spelled semeiotics (Greek: ζημειωηικός, semeiotikos, an interpreter of signs), was first used in English by Henry Stubbes (1670, p. 75) in a very precise sense to denote the branch of medical science relating to the
    32. interpretation of signs. John Locke used the terms semeiotike and semeiotics in Book 4, Chapter 21 of An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690). Here he explains how science can be divided into three parts: All that can fall within the compass of human understanding, being either, first, the nature of things, as they are in themselves, their relations, and their manner of operation: or, secondly, that which man himself ought to do, as a rational and voluntary agent, for the attainment of any end, especially happiness: or, thirdly, the ways and means whereby the knowledge of both the one and the other of these is attained and communicated; I think science may be divided properly into these three sorts. —Locke, 1823/1963, p. 174 Locke then elaborates on the nature of this third category, naming it Σημειωτικη (Semeiotike) and explaining it as \"the doctrine of signs\" in the following terms: [2] Nor is there anything to be relied upon in Physics, but an exact knowledge of medicinal physiology [3] (founded on observation, not principles), semeiotics, method of curing, and tried (not excogitated, not commanding) medicines. —Locke, 1823/1963, 4.21.4, p. 175 In the nineteenth century, Charles Peirce defined what he termed \"semiotic\" as the \"quasi-necessary, or formal doctrine of signs\" that abstracts \"what must be the characters of all signs used by...an intelligence capable of learning by experience\" (Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, paragraph 2.227). Charles Morris followed Peirce in using the term \"semiot ic\" and in extending the discipline beyond human co mmunication to animal learning and use of signals. Saussure, however, viewed the most important area within semiotics as belonging to the social sciences: It is... possible to concei ve of a science which studies the role of signs as part of social life. It woul d form part of social ps ychology, and hence of general psychol ogy. We shall call it semi ology (from the Greek semeîon, 'sign'). It woul d investigate the nature of signs and the laws governing them. Since it does not yet exist, one cannot say for certain that it will exist. B ut it has a right to exist, a pl ace ready for it in advance. Linguistics is only one branch of this general science. The laws which semiol ogy will discover will be l aws applicable i n linguistics, and linguistics will thus be assigned to a clearly defined place in the field of human knowledge. —Cited in Chandler's \"Semiotics For Beginners, Introduction. A Question of Totality - what Metaphysics can be Metaphysics Defined - http://members.aol.com/Srabbitt1/index3.html According to Funk & Wagnall‟s Dictionary, Metaphysics i s defined as: (1) “The branch of philosophy that inve stigates principle s of reality transcending those of any particular science, traditionally including cosmology and ontology. (2) “All speculative philosophy”. The second definition, at first glance, appears vague and almost meaningless in its generality. The term “speculative” carries with it the secondary meaning of risk along with
    33. that of contemplation, although we do not understand what risk lies in philosoph y other than taking it seriously! The first definition appears to be quite PC (Politically Correct) and speaks in clearly nonjudgmental tones. It too seems simple enough, provided you know how to define philosophy, transcendence, cosmology and ontology. Philosophy - (1) The general inquiry into the most comprehensive principles of reality in general, or of some sector of it, as human knowledge or human values‖ (2) The love of wisdom, and the search for it. (3) A Philosophical system; also a treatise on suc h a system. (4) The general laws that furnish the rational explanation of anything: the philosophy of banking. (5) Practical wisdom; fortitude Transcendence - To be independent of, or beyond Cosmology - The general philosophy of the universe considered as a totality of parts and phenomena subject to laws – que stion of the theory of everything (the Cosmological)? Ontology - The branch of metaphysics dealing with the philosophical theory of reality While Philosophy‘s multitude of meanings seems to encompass most of human intellectual activity, the other defined terms seem straight forward……So is that it? Have we learned all we need to know about Metaphysics, ―the definition‖? Cert ainly not ! Delving ever deeper into the meaning of our room‘s name sake, I discovered an historically oriented, and perhaps more illuminating definition. With all due respect to its source “A Hi story of Philosophy” by A.G. Fuller (Prof. at USC), we have a definition which better satisfies the savage soul..... Metaphysics - “In its popular and general sense – denotes; the investigation of the essential and absolute nature of reality as a whole or of the nature of being as such. The search for first principle s; originally meant - “what comes after physics”; and was used originally of the works of Ari stotle that followed his Physics in the collection made by Androni cus. Used by Aquinas (S t. Thomas) to de signate knowledge of supernatural entities; by the Carte sians (Rene), of immaterial entities; (like Energy) By Kant, of constructive attempts to know the nature of things as they are in themselves, and of theories regarding objects of faith, like G-d, freedom and immortality; By Bergson and other intuitioni sts, of the immediate acquaintance with the real given by direct intuition of its nature, as contra sted with the falsifications of the nature of the real by the intellectual process....” So metaphysics wasn‟t that easy to define after all, was it? And so – just think of this : The VSEPR Theor y - valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory - provides us a way to predict the shapes of many m olecules. Inside of these molecules is another „realm‟ is discovered; a m ore sublime physics based upon phase conjugate and the virtual vacuum ; the analogy of lens and mirror are generally used to describe this essential „new metaphysics‟. This Electro-motive causality represents‟ a virtual dichotomy; which quantum physics [being rediscovered] is demonstrating. The
    34. universe itself is observed as a Real Trichotomy structured by acoustic agglomeration modalities. The fallacy of equating God with manifestations of Power Converting CO2 using sunlight Virtual Protons Light in a Vacuum Vector Equilibrium Matrix is not structure but a system, the prime nucleated system. V.E. makes conceptual models of 4th, 5th and 6th dimensional Omni-experience possible, using the tetrahedron. A current example of this is CDT theor y, a triangular universe of 4-dimensional tetrahedrons Equilibrium between + and - is Zero. V.E. is the true zero reference of energetic mathematics. It is cosmic zero. So…….don't disregard the 'new' metaphysics! Kozyrev described spinning or twisting “torsion fields” and/or “torsion waves” as the spiraling flow of “time energy. Lt. Col. Tom Bearden, calls them “scalar waves.” Their spiraling nature is simply an impulse of momentum that travels through the medium of the aether/ZPE/physical vacuum, without electromagnetic qualities. Torsion fields, like gravity or electromagnetism, are capable of moving from one place to another in the Universe at “superluminal” speeds, meaning that they far exceed the speed of light. An impulse that moves directly through the “fabr ic of space-time”, travels at super-luminal velocities and is separate from gravity or electromagnetism, is a significant breakthrough in physics – one that demands that a “physical vacuum”, “zero-point energy” or “aether” must really exist. “Once we establish that all force fields such as gravity and electromagnetism are simply different forms of aether/ZPE in motion, then we have an active source for gravity and a straightforward reason for why it would exist. We see that every molecule in the entire body of a planet must be sustained by an ongoing in-flow of aetheric energy. The same energy that is creating the Earth is also creating and flowing into us. Our bodies cannot travel through solid matter, but the current of aetheric energy certainly can – and this is one of the many things that Keely, Tesla, Kozyrev and others demonstrated. A star or planet must continually draw energy from its environment in order
    35. to “stay alive.” Kozyrev had made very similar conclusions about our Sun back in the 1950s, concluding that stars acted as “machines that convert the flow of time into heat and light.” Torsion Fields – toroidal geometry CO2 adsorption Lens schematic RECENT ADVANCES IN METAPHYSICS - E. J. Lowe 1. Philosophy, metaphysics and ontology There is a widespread assumption amongst non-philosophers, which is shared by a good many practicing philosophers too, that 'progress' is never really made in philosophy, and above all in metaphysics. In this respect, philosophy is often compared, for the most part unfavorably, with the empirical sciences, and especially the natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry and biology. Sometimes, philosophy is defended on the grounds that to deplore the lack of 'progress' in it is to misconceive its central aim, which is challenge and criticize received ideas and assumptions rather than to advance positive theses. But this defense itself is liable to be attacked by the practitioners of other dis ciplines as unwarranted special pleading on the part of Philosophers, whose comparative lack of expertise in other disciplines, it will be said, ill -equips them to play the role of all-purpose intellectual critic. It is sometimes even urged that philosophy is now 'dead', the relic of a pre-scientific age whose useful functions , such as the y were, have been taken over at last by genuine sciences. What were once 'philosophical' questions have now been transmuted, allegedly, into questions for more specialized modes of scientific inquiry, with their own distinctive methodological principles and theoretical foundations. This dismissive view of philosophy is at once shallow and pernicious. It is true that philosophy is not, properly speaking, an empirical science, but there are other disciplines of a non- empirical character in which progress most certainly can be and has been made, such as mathematics and logic. So there is no reason, in principle, why progress should not be made in philosophy. The four-category ontology has no difficulty in saying what 'ties together' the particular properties — that is, the modes — of an object. An object's modes are simply 'particular ways it is': they are characteristics, or features, or aspects of the object, rather than constituents of it. If properties were constituents of an object, they would need, no doubt, to be tied together somehow, either very loosely by coexisting in the same place at the same time, or more tightly by depending in some mysterious way either upon ea ch other or upon some still more mysterious 'substratum', conceived as a further constituent of the object, distinct from any of its properties. It is precisely because a mode is a particular way this or that particular object is that modes cannot 'float free' or 'migrate' from one object to another — circumstances that pure trope theorists seem obliged to countenance as being at least metaphysically possible. Moreover, the four-category ontology allows us to say that the properties of a kind are tied to it, in the laws to which it is subject, in a manner which entirely parallels, at the level of universals, the way in which an individual object's modes are tied to that object. In both cases, the tie is simply a matter of the 'characterization' of a propertied entity b y its various properties and consists in the fact that the properties are 'ways' the propertied entity is. Fig. 2 - below may help to highlight the main structural features of the four-category ontology as I have just outlined it. In this diagram I use the term 'attribute', as sugge sted earlier, to denote the category of property-universals for simplicity of pre sentation. (needs quotation)
    36. Kinds characterized by Attribute s Instantiated by exemplified by instantiated by Objects characterized by Modes Fig. 2: The four-category ontology THE METAPHYSICS OF REASON ABSTR ACT: We will briefly review the developments in Physics and Mathematics during the last century. We find that while Science was born and grown under the auspices of Cartesian principles, the 20th century Physics and Mathematics defy the Cartesian premises. The emerging unified viewpoint on cosmos renounces the dualisms (subject-object, reason-faith, and cogitation-being) and incorporates elements of the traditions. Modern Mathematics was marked by Cantor‘s study of infinity. An infinite quantity breaks the usual axiom that «the whole is greater than (Sum of) its part». An infinite quantity is the same as a part of it. Cantor found that there is a hierarchy of infinities. The «simplest» infinity, 0 , corresponds to the infinity of integers (set N). The next level of infinity, 1, is represented by the real numbers (set R). The chain of infinity continues with no end (0 , 1 , 2 , 3 …). How two levels of infinity are connected? We move from one level of infinity to the next level b y invoking the requirement of totality. Mathematical systems cannot be purified of any internal contradictions, or presented as constructions of pure logic. Gödel has shown that we cannot separate mathematics from meta-mathematics. His ingenious numbering of mathematical propositions indicated that a proposition accepts a double reading: as a proposition of theory and as a statement (or a comment) about the propositions of the theory. Furthermore Gödel using the diagonal lemma of Cantor formulated the proposition G: there is a theorem, which is self-referenced as a non-theorem. From now on, we know that the dichotom y into true or false statements is not correct. We may encounter un-decidable statements, statements which cannot be classified as true or false. The true statements exceed in number the proven statements and the content of truth cannot be e xplored using only the analytical method [2]. From Gödel‟s pr oof we understand that any organized system breaks down when we employ self-preferentiality, when the system is delivered to an endoscopic examination. In order to assess the system as a whole, we have to move outside the system, to another level of representa tion and knowledge. In Genesis God asks Adam to give names to all beings of Creation? Name, recalling father Pavel Florensky [5], is a human energy, which takes the mind beyond subject to reach a world. Thus the name and the word constitute the reality itself. We are asked, Adam and ourselves, to face and provide meaning to cosmos. We have to decipher in a creative way the άλογος λόγος (the speechless word), as Origen defined the universe. According to St. Maximos the Confessor, man should unite the sensible beings. Then going beyond the level of the sensible and entering the universe of the intelligible, man unifies all different logoi to a single logo. Finally into a n act of immense αγάπη (love, Eros), man presents the whole united universe as an offering to God. Thus man and nature participate in a cosmic liturgy; a Eucharist Paul defines faith as “the examination of unseen things”. Faith leads to knowledge, and then this knowledge to a new higher faith and so on …. “from faith to faith and from knowledge to knowledge”. Thus the whole knowledge of the visible and the invisible appears organized in le vels. The knowing process leads to a real unity between the knower and the known. At the end, η γνώζις αγάπη γίνεηαι (knowledge becomes love), as St. Gregory of Nyssa says. Regarding now triadic structures,
    37. Christian faith rests upon this great mystery of a triadic God. Without any intention of entering into this deep theological issue, we could mention the relation between God who is revealed and those who are revealing Him, Logos and the Holy Spirit. Gnos is and deification is achieved by the presence of both Logos and Spirit (δια ηου Υιού ε ν Αγίω Πνεύμαηι). We stressed already the emerging paradox. The interpretation and the understanding of Science of the 20th century, requires and suggests elements of the Tradition. The new -born knowledge reflects the 2500 years old Sophia and gnosis. Somehow we discover what the Greeks and the Christians call ΑΙΩΝ - that is Time, not a segment of time, not time in evolution, but Time in its duration and in its totality. The new underlying pattern of knowledge is composed of old elements. How to rearrange these old elements into a new structure is a question of aesthetics. We have to prove, over and over again that the cosmos is cosmos.…\" The dimension of freedom, however, is not something created out of nothing by a God, for that would be to deal with it like some ontic thing caused by an agent. The dimension of freedom is indeed the dimension of Dasein, but Dasein's existence cannot be accounted for Ontically - causally by way of creation, but rather only ontologically-transcendentally by uncovering and stepping back into its conditions of possibility, for freedom is the transcendental dimension per se. The creature is an existent which of course depends on an „other‟ (or is it „another‟), but not like a part which separates itself from the other. Creation out of nothing breaks the system; it posits a being outside the s ystem, i.e. there where its freedom is possible. (78/149) (not necessarily; since for one contemporary example – Levinas posits God as „absolutely other‟ – „otherwise than being‟; which cannot in this sense; theologically be anything other than being itself – a true paradox !) The question of how did Moshe (whom Pharaohs‟ daughter „drew‟ out of the Nile bulrushes] come to read and 'write' Hebrew? v) Ontology flattened - Lévinas, on the contrary, in ‗Totality and Infinity‘, takes the appearance of the face of the other to be the point at which the Infinite or the Absolute intervenes with the word that teaches or instructs, like a master instructs his disciple. The point at which the master appears is, he claims, the origin of language. The intervention of the Absolute is strongly reminiscent of the Old Testament motif of God calling on Moses to lay down the Ten Commandments, and this impression is reinforced by Lévinas' insistence on the ethical impossibility of killing the other: \"Thou shalt not kill\". The appearance of the Infinite on the scene is in a quite literal sense a ‗deus ex machina‘ in Lévinas' hands; in fact he introduces the idea of a \"creatio ex nihilo\" (e.g. 78/149) in order to \"break\" with the system of a (causal) totality and introduces an understanding of a human being as a \"separate existent\" self-centred on its own enjoyment (cf. e.g. 91/166). But this totality is conceived as an ontic-causal system into which he introduces the dimension of freedom. Strangely enough, the ‗deus ex machina‘ who performs the ‗creatio ex nihilo‘ is a causal principle: The ground of being in the totality of nature - http://www.ka zuo-katase.com/texteng.htm But Katase discovered elementary geometries, light and shadow, complementarities in general, which tend towards traditional minimalism. For him, space is not an empty vacuum with ob jects placed in it, which is still observable in perspective terms as dead spatiality. Instead, space is an elementary moment of integration of all subjects that is narrated by the ground of being in the totality of nature on the globe; it is a system of relationships of tension that take effect within the paradox of complete stillness . Square and cube, circle, ring and sphere, line, rod, and cylinder are the basic forms for this; blue, red and yellow are the principal colors, white and black are the non-colors; monochrome is an ensemble style. An o verview is always simultaneously an inner view. Born in Shizuoka in Japan in 1947, Katase has been living and working in Kassel, Germany, since 1976. He brought with him to the West a Zen tradition enlightened by modern Japanese philosophy, mainly represented by Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945). Nishida's philosophy of pure experience (3) emerged from the cultural opening of Japan toward the West that took place after 1868. By its very nature, Zen is incapable of becoming a world philosophy - and it has never attempted to be this, rejecting as it does explanatory discourse from the start; inner
    38. experience, image, and gesture are more important in it. Initially in the pragmatic and behaviorist thought of British philosophers, and later in the metaphysics of German Idealism and the romantic psychologisms that developed from it, Japanese philosophers recognized elements capable of bridging the gap between East and West(4). LAO TZU'S METAPHYSICS AND HIS CRITIQUE OF CONFUCIAN ETHICS - VINCENT SHEN http://www.crvp.org/book/Series03/III-4/chapter_ii.htm Lao Tzu has given to Chinese Culture the most profoundly speculative system of metaphysics in the history of Chinese philosophy. However, his metaphysics was quite intimately related to his critique of the Confucian Ethics. In fact, Lao Tzu's metaphysics emerged first as a vehement critique of the `Too Human', that is, too anthropocentric ethical orientation in Confucianism. Lao Tzu's metaphysics is proposed as an ultimate solution to the impasse created by this too human ethics. It is characterized by an e mphasis upon the ontological foundation of human nature and its re-insertion of human action into the cosmic spontaneity shared by all things as begotten by the Ultimate Tao. According to my interpretation, Lao Tzu was first of all a cultural critic of his time: his concept of Tao was proposed as an ulterior solution to the socio-political and spiritual crises of that society. By his penetrating criticism, fused with a profound praxis of life, he established a paradigm of social critique and critique of id eology for Chinese culture in general. His writings on the Tao and its virtues, entitled the Tao Te Ching ( ), has revealed to us the image of a society in a process of radical change. On the one hand was the disintegration of the cultural order in the an cient China constituted by Chou Li ( ): the social institutions and politico-religious rites of Chou Dynasty. On the other hand, new cultural elements were emerging, but without being able to stabilize themselves as a new social order. Viewed from this perspective, even though we possess very few historical accounts about the life of Lao Tzu, after a rigorous textual analysis of the Tao Teh Ching, we could still judge that its author had composed it in the epoch of Warring States (480 -221 BC). Thus, we are justified in denying the only narrative tradition concerning Lao Tzu since Ssu -ma Ch'ien, according to which Lao Tzu was a keeper of the archives at the Chou Court and an elder contemporary of Confucius (551-479 BC). On the contrary, the Tao Teh Ching was composed much later than Confucius. It was in criticizing the society of Warring States and the ethics of Confucianism that Taoism emerged as a vigorous way of thinking, and hence as a deep, fundamental trait of Chinese thinking and even of the Chinese attitude towards life and society in general.

Infontology and it‟s Folksonomy The term ontologos is a neologism meaning “to reason about being.” It is constructed from the prefix onto- that means “being” or “existence ,” and the base logos that means “to reason,” referring to the science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration – the science of the formal principles of reasoning. „The Ontology Consortium‟ Semiotic Communications Theory – Visualization and Representation Modality and Communication Whilst semiotics is often encountered in the form of textual analysis, it also involves philosophical theorizing on the role of signs in the construction of reality. Semiotics involves studying representations and the processes involved in representational practices and to semioticians, 'reality' always involves representation. Daniel Chandler Axioms of Activity Occurrence Theory Semiotics, semiotic studies, or semiology is the study of signs and s ymbols , both indi vi duall y and grouped into sign s ys tems . It includes the study of how meaning is constructed and unders tood. This discipline is frequentl y seen as ha ving i mporta nt anthropological dimensions. However, some semioti cians focus on the logi cal dimensions of the s cience. They examine a reas bel onging also to the natural s ciences - such as how organisms make predi ctions about, and adapt to, thei r semioti c ni che in the world (see semiosis). In general, semioti c theories take signs or sign s ys tems as thei r object of s tudy: the communi ca tion of information in li ving organisms is covered in biosemi otics [Bioinformatics] or zoosemiosis.

    40. K-Theory and non-commutative geometry – NON STANDARD STUFF Ultrafilters – Ultra-products; but unfortunately the „reprobate‟ quality of ultra power. The difference in „reality‟ between ENERGY and Electricity is enormous ; delusional miscomprehensions of Power have facilitated tragedies throughout history – like the quote from Niels Bohr ; “ No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical. “ The „ground state‟ of „existence‟ is Energy; it like the soul is a vast; immovable and untapped potential – its enormous potential is something which is „acted upon‟; either rightly or wrongly. Caretaking of it is what brings „great reward‟; for it is „the continuum‟ which is „tapped‟. ON THE FINE STRUCTURE OF SPACETIME „This‟ formalism of quantum mechanics ftp://ftp.alainconnes.org/2000.pdf Being discovered as; \"infinitesimal variables\" gives a framework where continuous variables can coexist with infinitesimal ones, with only the price of having more subtle algebraic rules where the commutative no longer holds. The new infinitesimals have an \"order\" (an infinitesimal of order one is a compact operator whose characteristic values \\mu_n are a big O of 1/n). The novel point is that the y have an integral, which in terms of physics is given by the coefficient of the logarithmic divergence of the trace. Thus one obtains a new stage for the \"calculus\" and it is at the core of noncommutative differential geometry.
    41. Spread-spe ctrum techniques are methods by which energy generated in a particular bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency domain, resulting in a signal with a wider bandwidth. These techniques are used for a variety of reasons, including the establishment of secure communications, increasing resistance to natural interference and jamming, and to prevent detection. Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a channel access method utilized by The most celebrated invention of frequency hopping was various radio communication that of actress Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil, technologies.

    42. Dirac quantization condition First, and above all for Dirac, the logic that led to the theory was, although deeply sophisticated, in a sense beautifully simple. Much later, when someone asked him (as many must have done before) \"How did you find the Dirac equation?\" he is said to have replied: \"I found it beautiful.\" Second, it agreed with precise measurements of the energies of light emitted from atoms, in particularly where these differed from ordinary (non -relativistic) quantum mechanics. Attempts to find monopoles A number of attempts have been made to detect magnetic monopoles. One of the simplest is to use a loop of superconducting wire that can look for even tiny magnetic sources, a so-called \"superconducting quantum interference detector\", or SQUID. Given the predicted density, loops the size of a soup can would expect to see about one monopole event per year. Although there have been tantalizing events recorded, in particular the event recorded by Blas Cabrera on the night of February 14, 1982 (thus, sometimes referred to as the \"Valentine's Day Monopole\"), there has never been reproducible evidence for the existence of magnetic monopoles. The lack of such events places a limit on the number of monopoles of about 1 monopole per 10 29 nucleons. The predicted magnitude and generalized rarity of ‘magnetic monopoles’ speaks of things which may ‘approach’ the Infinite and be present in things which are ‘very peculiar’? THE HOUR GLASS NEBULA and the Cosmic Ontogeny of Astronomic Observation You can see the same pattern in the Hour Glass Nebula of the intersecting circles which we also found in Supernova 1987a.

Intuitive Moments - \"Logical Discernment for Ethical Motivation?\"- Metaphysics for Rational Folks! Quodlibet Online Journal Prefac e to Totality and Infinity © Val Petridis; Assisted by: Tom Fatsis Throughout his works Emmanuel Levinas has used various terminologies to refer to God. In every case God is described as infinite unknow able, unsayable and unsignifyable. In the “Trace of the Face“ Levinas refers to God as the Unknown and absolute other. I will show that these concepts are completely compatible with one another and are based on the same premises. Furthermore, it will be argued that term God is a phrase or ideatum that refers to that which cannot be known, signified, or contained in any expression of language. Levinas’ God will be shown to everything that can never be known or said. This God is not the personal deity depicted in typical religiosity, Levinas’ God is not a divinity that interacts with the human world, r ather this God is that which lies beyond the limits of what hum ans can ever experience or know. It will be shown that the term God as found in Levinas wor k can be easily substituted by any other term that refers to that which is beyond everything contained within that which can be known. Thus, I will prove that Levinas use of the terms infinite, the unknown, the absolute other and the otherwise than being to refer to the same non-religious God or the something that is absolutely beyond being. The term God refers to that which a secular term like infinity could as easily be used to referred to without losing any of its intended connot ations lost in the substitution of one term for the other.. In fact, I will show that the term God is more problematic than its secular counterparts as it contains religious presuppositions that are not contained in Levinas formulation of that which lies beyond being. In this sense, Levinas’ terms for God secularize divinity and relegate God to a concept acceptable even to atheists. This is not the God of religion rather a term used as an ideatum of that which is alw ays beyond what humans will ever know. This God who will never fulfill any of the characteristics usually attributed to God and even if God did, no one would ever know it . Systems Theory – Science and the ‘Beauty of Recursion’ One of the basic concerns of classical mathematical logic has been a rigorous definition of “mathematical proof\". A proof may be discovered by luck, genius or accident. But once discovered it is mechanically checkable. Thus the most general type of mechanically checkable procedure provides a definition of the most general kind of proof. An investigation of “mechanical checkability\" leads naturally to the notion of “computable process\". Recursion theory is that branch of mathematical logic which studies computability theory. From its very inception recursion theory has been so closely associated with theoretical computer science that it is sometimes difficult to tell where one begins and the other ends. Complexity is seen as ‘ultra’ to which ‘filters’ are applied for the sake of these rigorous paradigms – Living Systems however manifest a purpose which purports ‘commonality’ and their complexity is beyond recursive techniques; yet mathem atical logic can help to understand it. The classical viewpoint IS commensurable with Quantum Mechanics and its non-commutative theory – if and only if; what is being communicated is information propagated by a living system itself; purposefully to maintain this existence and ‘adapt’ [taxis] to an ‘ever’ changing environment – even where that environment is the living organism itself and its ecologic community of adaptation. Thereby the ontogeny of complex adaptive systems becomes commensurable as commutative expression – recursion and feedback ‘taxis’.
    44. As a metaphysical concept ‘Eidetic Noesis’ - however; has serious problems with commutative reason and the bioethics which stewardship must maintain – this excerpt from basic Engineering goals and objects: eal@eecs.berkeley.edu 1 Introduction Engineers have a major advantage over scientists. For the most part, the systems we analyze are of our own devising. It has not always been so. Not long ago, the principle objective of engineering was to coax physical materials to do our bidding by leveraging their intrinsic physical properties. The discipline was one of “applied science.” Today, a great deal of engineering is about coaxing abstractions that we have invented. The abstractions provided by microprocessors, programming languages, operating systems, and computer networks are only loosely linked to the underlying physics of electronics. The rapid improvements in the capabilities of electronics during the last hal f of the 20-th century are, in part, the reason for this separation. The physical constraints imposed by limited memory, processing speed, and communication bandwidth appeared to evaporate with each new generation of computers. What appeared to one generation as luxuriously inefficient abstractions became the bread and butter of the next generation. The separation of “computer science” from “electrical engineering” is both a consequence and a cause, fueling the separation and reflecting it at the same time. At the same time, the systems science that was incubated in the study of electronic circuits (control systems, communications theory, and signal processing) has also become more abstract. Although these disciplines were created by true “electrical engineers” (“true” means that they were engaged with electrical systems), many of the practitioners today rarely encounter electricity directly. Their techniques are often realized in “embedded” software, ironically building on the abstractions that are only loos ely connected to the electronics that their theory originally helped to create. The theories, however, have not adapted as well as one might hope to world of software. Perhaps these theories remain too wedded to their physical heritage. (quotation) Science and its twin children – magic and engineering have never exhibi ted restraint in the area of abstinence from temptation to experiment – even when such experiments violate all laws and the ‘norms’ of cultural decency. Medical Practice has become a major source of this malfeasance – where ‘malpractice’ is merely the retribution of ‘insurance’ claims; not the criminal culpability for deliberate and recurring acts of subversion. Into this void has stepped ‘Bioethics’ and its paradigms for the common good and proper caretaking of its communities. Eidetic Linguistic Indexing using Semiotic Representation is expressive of millennia in correspondence. So light is ‘revealing’ – an almost unappreciated aspect of human history; a history couched in mythological stories or encrypted as Bas Relief’s on the ‘palaces’ of the rich and famous; yet the true story is living within each person – so that the breadth and depth of a common history can be available for all. This type of experience should create as such an appreciation for that which is neither seen nor actually known.
    45. Semiotic Representation and Cognitive Learning Patterns Content - Didactic Pedagogy is essential to the comprehension of ‗Classical Philosophy‘. This advocacy defines ‗arts‘ as well as ‗letters‘; a discourse of creative – if purposeful; communication. Reason Logic and Metaphysics Parmenides wrote his didactic poem on nature (circa 500 B.C.E.) and the 'spe culation' began - the concept of metaphysics is often traced to this writing. Ontology is ‘the being’; Greek Scholars of the present day - 2009 | 5770 places it's etymology in the 'garden of Eden' - where Adam w alked w ith the Lord and 'named' all of the creatures there; pleasing 'his father'. This naming hence is ontology - that ‘being which is immovable ’. Parmenides did not have access to the book of Genesis so it may be surmise d that On Nature is about Mother Earth as so m any endemic people believe and practice . In metaphysics ontology is the study of N ature – Physos (Greek) - it is directly related to 'consciousness' as BEING; from the perspective of a ‘classical observer’ (who in fact is e veryone and no one in particular). Ontologies are Ontology - this is the sense of it. Noesis is a state of knowing – comprehensive understanding of an ontologic presence; being. It is not ‘knowledge’ as such; for it is written – ‘The fear of God is the beginning of know ledge, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom .’ The Par menidean Paths of Inquiry - http://www.elea.org/Parmenides/Parm-comment.htm An Interpretation The following is my interpretation of the philosophy of Parmenides of Elea, the Greek father of metaphysics. His only work, On Nature, is written in rather obscure verse, and so his thesis can be viewed from a variety of perspectives, of which mine is only one (although a fairly standard one). Parmenides' most important principle, hereafter called \"Parmenides' Principle\", was that anything rationally conceivable must exist. Nonbeing is not a thing and can neither be thought of nor spoken about in any meaningful or coherent way. Parmenides forbade talking as if there are possible things that nonetheless do not exist. He illustrated this principle by showing us three possible methods of inquiry, of which only one is valid. The following chart summarizes them. Parmenides' Principle from Allan F. Randall T he Way of O bjective Truth: Necessar ily, all possibilities exist. C onsistent, C oher ent T he Unthinkable Way:: Necessar ily, no possibilities exist.

    46. strived to keep a Covenant with God. Historically this division has been the source of serious problems – not only in ‘inter cultural relations’ but in general understanding which different people need to have of one another. The millennia have accumulated many things both truly good and useful and many others both useless and reprobate. Mankind’s caretaking of the world that is shared in common is a perfect example of this. Bioethics (in its place as ‘protector of the common good’) must encompass this ‘new’ metaphysics; and that is one which includes understanding of Systems (Complex and Adapt ative); and their discrete differences – especially Living Systems and their ‘perfectly discrete’ Ontogeny (as cytology). Seekers of truth; for this is the ‘LOVE’ of wisdom – indeed the continuing history of philosophy itself is one of the ‘subje cts’ of discourse; the ethics of COMMON GOOD its objective; Virtue is it’s reward. It is well taken that in ‘allegory’ Parmenides has provided NATURE for this purpose. Natures Ontogeny has developed teleological systems for commensality and biodynamic pathways of procreation. The conclusion of ON NATURE provides insight into this ‘impasse’ – An Ontogeny for Ontology: 19 \"Thus, according to belief, these things were born and now are, and hereafter, having grown from this, they will come to an end. And for each of these did humans establish a distinctive name. 20One and unchanging is that for which as a whole the name is: 'to be'.\" Logic is bound by hum an cognition in terms of this insight (as intuition) – this subje ctive/objective dichotomy if you will; and can shine the light of understanding upon the counterintuitive and non-binding logic of chaos; and its ‘reprobate’ ideologies. Mankind’s responsibility for ‘things which were born and that now are’ is not diminished through the providence of science. Uni versal seedbanks bear wi tness of this ‗caretaking‘. Nichomachean Ethics (sometimes spelled 'Nichom achean'), or Ta Ethika, is a work by Aristotle on virtue and moral character which plays a prom inent role in defining Aristotelian ethics. It consists of ten books based on notes from his le ctures at the Lyceum and were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus. Nichomachean Ethics focuses on the importance of habitually behaving virtuously and developing a virtuous character. Aristotle emphasized the importance of context to ethical behavior and the ability of the virtuous person to recognize the best course of action. Aristotle argued that Eudemonia is the goal of life, and that a person's pursuit of Eudemonia, rightly conceived, will result in virtuous conduct. Eudemonia (Greek: εὐδαιμονία) is a classical Greek word commonly translated as 'happiness'. Etymologically, it consists of the word \"eu\" (\"good\" or \"well being\") and \"daimōn\" (\"spirit\" or \"minor deity\", used by extension to mean one's lot or fortune). Although popular usage of the term happiness refers to a state of mind, related to joy or pleasure, eudaimonia rarely has such connotations, and the less subjective \"human flourishing\" is often preferred as a translation. [To thrive is another useful synonym]

It suffers, unfortunately, from very frequent computer hardware problems, and as such its resources are often unavailable. The project is mirrored in Berlin [1] and Chicago.[2] The Ethics ; Treatise on the Emendation of the Inte llect; Selected Letters – [search from the „InfoNet‟] by Benedictus de Spinoza (Author) \"If Socrates' execution was the key event in Plato's life that shaped his subsequent career in philosophy, Spinoza's excommunication from the Jewish community of Amsterdam...\" (more) Key Phrases: equally great emotion, abs olutely infinite entity, fictitious idea, Corollary Hence, Proof All, Benedict de Spinoza (more...) Jonathan Barnes’s Aristotle (2000) provides an excellent and brief introduction to Aristotelian philosophy. In terms of impact on the Ethics, perhaps Aristotle’s most significant concept is that of the teleology of nature. According to Aristotle, nature works toward a telos, or end goal. His biological work aims constantly at the question of what purpose different aspects of plants and animals serve. He classifies humans as “rational animals,” meaning that our telos is rational. In other words, our function in life is to realize our full potential as rational beings. If we are not fully rational, we are falling short of our true nature. This teleological view gives Aristotle’s Ethics a clear sense of direction. Our goal in life is to achieve our true nature, and this true nature consists essentially of rationality. The purpose of a moral education, then, is to teach us how we may become perfectly rational and immune to the temptations of our lower animalistic parts. Ethics is just one of a number of fields that Aristotle classifies as “practical science.” Unlike the natural sciences, which examine the world around us, these sciences deal with the practical aspects of human society and how best to arrange this society. The practical sciences are all closely connected, and Aristotle frequently expounds on the connection between the good life for the individual and the kind of state that could make this good life possible. Hence, Aristotle’s Politics is an important companion and sequel to his Ethics. While the Nichomachean Ethics is Aristotle’s most popular work on ethics, there is a second work called the Eudemian Ethics, which is far less widely read. Most scholars agree that the Eudemian Ethics was written earlier in Aristotle’s career and represents a less mature view. Books V, VI, and VII of the Nichomachean Ethics are also found in the Eudemian Ethics. Aristotle – Louvre Queen Ester – Jews for Jesus w3c Standards
    48. A Solution to Plato's Problem: The Latent Semantic Analysis Theory of Acquisition Induction and Representation of Knowledge from [Abstract -8] How do people know as much as they do with as little information as they get? The problem takes many forms; learning vocabulary from text is an especially dramatic and convenient case for research. A new general theory of acquired similarity and knowledge represe ntation, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), is presented and used to successfully simulate such learning and several other psycholinguistic phenomena. By inducing global knowledge indirectly from local co-occurrence data in a large body of representative text, LSA acquired knowledge about the full vocabulary of English at a comparable rate for school-children. LSA uses no prior linguistic or perceptual similarity knowledge; it is based solely on a general mathematical learning method that achieves powerful inductive effects by extracting the right num ber of dimensions (e.g., 300) to represent objects and contexts. Relations to other theories, phenomena, and problems are sketched. The Latent Semantic Analysis Model The model we have used for simulation is a purely mathematical analysis technique. However, we want to interpret the model in a broader and more psychological manner. In doing so, we hope to show that the fundamental features of the theory that we will later describe are plausible, to reduce the otherwise magical appearance of its performance, and to suggest a variety of relations to psychological phenomena other than the ones to which we have as yet applied it. We will explicate all of this in a somewhat spiral fashion. First, we will try to explain the underlying inductive mechanism of dimensionality matching upon which the model's power hinges. We will then sketch how the model's mathematical machinery operates and how it has been applied to data and prediction. Next, we will offer a psychological process interpretation of the model that shows how it maps onto but goes beyond familiar theoretical ideas, empirical principles, findings and conjectures. We will then, finally, return to a more detailed and rigorous presentation of the model and its applications. An Informal Explanation of the Inductive Value of Dimensionality Matching Implicit Ambiguity Resolution – Is inter-subjectivity the soul of reciprocity? A regime of representation that has prevailed in philosophy since Descartes mandates the correction of semantic drift (in terms of):  Semiotic representation affecting or effecting || self affecting reflexivity  Symbolism denotes intending objects through signs  Question of the reflexivity of awareness || counter-intuitive  Defining consciousness as 'auto-affection' becomes autocracy  Counter-intuitive root of reflexivity || essence of Cartesians Intractability  Conflict Resolution A doctrine of commutative reason has addressed this issue especially in terms of political action; this contingency supersedes the Hegelian doctrines and it‟s dialectic.
    49. Toward Better Concepts of Peace Post Modern Humanism has overlooked many important developments within the ‘universe’ of DISCOURSE. The way to true and lasting peace is one of them. The Set theoretical model – Distinct sets of cognitive processes interpret a sentence at each posited level of representation and distinct mental representations result from those computations. This approach predicts that qualitatively different processing principles for syntax and semantics arise from the existence of qualitatively different neural processing . (Chomsky, 1986; Clifton, Speer, & Abney, 1991; Ferreira & Clifton, 1986; Frazier, 1987; Marslen-Wilson & Tyler, 1987; Rayner, Garrod, & Perfetti, 1992). In contrast, other models have proposed that a semantic representation is assembled directly, without an intermediate syntactic representation (McClelland, St. John, & Taraban, 1989; Mitchell & Holmes, 1985). In that perspective, syntactic information is integrated with lexical or semantic and pragm atic information in a continuous process of m apping on to a meaningful representation of the whole sentence (Altman, Garnham, & Dennis, 1992; MacDonald, Pearlm utter, & Seidenberg, 1994; Spivey-Knowlton & Tanenhaus, 1994; Taraban & McClelland, 1990). Hypotheses  Different wave variations - the existence of distinct components that intervene in sentence decoding  Co-occurring in the process of sentence comprehension  Analysis of specific sentence-level context- cannot be applied to cognitive processes, such as word level  Principal paradigms of analysis point out the difference between word-level processes  Recognition of isolated words (words in single-word context), and sentence-level processes  The recognition of words in sentence context and the computation of syntactic structure  Compare more rigorously syntactic and semantic information processing  Explore the dichotomy between structural and semantic representations of words in sentence context.

    51. Reading - Kristevan Semiotic and Symbolic: Nina Sadur's \"Kol'tsa\" and Marina Kulakova's \"Reka po imeni Master\" Canadian Slavonic Papers, Sep-Dec 2003 by Sutcliffe, Benjamin M ABSTRACT: The contemporary author and playwright Nina Sadur's short story \"Kol'tsa\" reflects how Julia Kristeva's dichotomous concepts semiotic and symbolic work with objects and dreams influencing the lives of two teenage girls. The semiotic is chaotic and resists organization, while Kristeva links the symbolic to the rational world. \"Kol'tsa\" shows that ultimately coherent meaning is doomed. Marina Kulakova's prose poem \"Reka po imeni Master\" depicts a teacher, initially paired with the symbolic, who is ultimately subsumed by the semiotic silence and shifting seasons of the remote village where she works. Kulakova, primarily a poet, has been published in Russia but remains unknown in the West. U istiny svobodnye odezhdy. The truth wears loose-fitting clothes. Marina Kulakova Julia Kristeva's opposed terms; semiotic and symbolic - suggest different modes of signification in two works by contemporary Russian authors: Nina Sadur's short story \"Kol'tsa\" and Marina Kulakova's prose poem \"Reka po imeni Master.\" A Kristevan analysis allows us to make several crucial distinctions concerning varying ways of perceiving the world and how these operate within works devoted to depicting ambiguity. Kristeva's Revolution in Poetic Language describes the semiotic and symbolic as two modalities of what is, for us, the same signifying process. We shall call the first the semiotic and the second the symbolic. These two modalities are inseparable within the signifying process that constitutes language, and the dialectic between them determines the type of discourse (narrative, metalanguage, theory, poetry, etc.) involved [...]. Because the subject is always both semiotic and symbolic, no signifying system he produces can be either 'exclusively' semiotic or 'exclusively' symbolic, and is necessarily marked by indebtedness to both.
    52. Metaphysics meets Aesthetics The global internet has spawned a renewed interest in the relationship between semiotic representation (metaphysics) and its ‘aesthetics’ – the concept of ‘communicative action’. Progress is made - not by using transcendental ontological assumptions; but in founding this new theory in the tradition of sociology – a field badly in need of it! “In sociological terms, the communicative action is a social action”*1+; other schools of thought identify ‘agency’ and ‘institution’ which the World Wide Web is certainly be coming – even if its capacity has been greatly underestimat ed. Autocracy - as such ‘astute’ observation discerns; has ‘usurped’ the rationalist tradition of European Philosophy. Yet any doctrine which agrees with post-modernism is suspect! So the personal aspe ct of discourse is promoted to the ‘first order’; as it should be. The dichotomy of self and other becomes resolved – yet a paradox ensues; “it agrees with the postmodernist position that a philosophical worldview has become untenable and that there can no longer be a totalizing abstract knowledge”. Yet refutes that it does not then follow that an empirically tested theory of rationality could not be universal”. [2] Communicative Action considers the structures of how argument can become valid: If we accept such principles of rational argumentation, Communicative Rationality is:  The processes by which different validity claims are brought to a satisfactory resolution.  Aesthetic discourses considers demonstrative value - given by a mediators arguments This ‘preventative medicine’ draws upon ‘Consciousness’ in a special way and for the sake of this argument and shall be considered as an ‘aesthetic aspect’ of CONSCIENCE. Communicative Action can provide the conceptual juxtaposition that rational logic is primed for. This sense of communicative rationality in its theoretical aspects goes a long way to promote ‘the common good’ because it promotes ‘HOLISTIC’ paradigms of society [because they are derived from a common NATURE] to first-order consideration – it does not however solve the question of ‘the meaning of life’; which is fortuitous – hoping that discourse would not become strained.  Aesthetic – disambiguation of culture pre-dispositions (context awareness – free of domination)  Therapeutic – clarify systematic self-deception – become flexible and unbiased (ha!)  Explicative – provide linguistic expression; as ‘autonomous agents’ *classical observers+ \"In the end, systemic mechanisms suppress forms of social integration even in those areas where a consensus dependent co-ordination of action cannot be replaced, that is, where the symbolic reproduction of the lifeworld is at stake. In these areas, the ‘mediatization’ of the lifeworld assumes the form of colonization\".[6] This ‘state’ invariably becomes intolerable *unworkable+. This ‘quasi-Orwellian’ discourse protests ‘autonomous’ lifeworlds becoming colonized by steering media - observing that four things happen:[7]  Traditional forms of life are dismantled
    53.  Social roles are sufficiently differentiated  There are adequate rewards of leisure and money for the alienated labor  Hopes and dreams become individuated by state canalization of welfare and culture These processes are institutionalized by developing global systems of jurisprudence. He here indicates the limits of an entirely jurisprudent concept of legitimizing practical calls for more anarchistic 'will formation' by autonomous networks and groups. Vance Packard observed this phenomenon as well – and warned the ‘industrialized’ world’s communities about its ‘long-term’ affect [desocialization]. Such a ‘system’ is indeed present in the world today and that is GATT and the WTO. They are a direct outgrowth of autocratic trading agencies and quasi-institutions (political lobbies and financial organizations) formed during the 19th and 20th centuries. The coercion of developing countries and the outright repression of ‘communicative rational action’ is not new – nor is ‘intellectual dishonesty’ becoming institutionalized; no - what is remarkable here is the discrete aesthetic; therapeutic and their expressive recognition within a dispositional treatise – detailing a way to diagnosis and ‘treat’ this ‘psychosis’. The ‘adamancy’ of Rational Communicative Action – surprisingly; stands squarely in the historic moment which this book is observing…..such ‘apparatus’ of power were indeed unwittingly created out of the twin motivators – greed and power. THE MARBURG PLAN The Marburg Plan, financed by Andrew Carnegie's amp le heritage, was produced in the early years of the twentieth century. It suggests premeditation for this kind of superficial schizophrenia, which in fact masks an integrated program of power acquisition: \"What then if Carnegie and his unlimited wealth, the international financiers and the Socialists could be organized in a movement to compel the formation of a league to enforce peace.\"8 From these unlikely seeds grew the modern internationalist movement, which included not only the financiers Carnegie, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, Bernard Baruch, and Herbert Hoover, but also the Carnegie Foundation and its progeny International Conciliation. What motive explains this coalition of capitalists and Bolsheviks [or China today]? But why allow Russia to become a competitor and a challenge to U.S. supremacy? In Railroads and Regulation 1877-1916; Gabriel Kolko has demonstrated how the railroad owners, not the farmers, wanted state control of railroads in order to preserve their monopoly and abolish competition. So the simplest explanation of our evidence is that a syndicate of Wall Street financiers enlarged their monopoly ambitions and broadened horizons on a global scale. The financiers were without ideology. It would be a gross misinterpretation to assume that assistance for the Bolshevists was ideologically motivated, in any narrow sense. The financiers were power-motivated and therefore assisted any political vehicle that would give them an entree to power: It cannot be considered a coincidence that American Industrial and Business Technologies were found in both the factories of the rapidly developing Soviet Union and the concentration camp system of Nazi Germany. Clever Businessmen or generations of deviants
    54. who have substituted a reprobate mind for the one which ‘Providence’ provided. Several ‘unimpeachable’ sources have ‘notarized’ and disseminated this historic information. Essentially; the ploy of ‘playing both ends – against the middle; works only in a highly ‘stratified’ society were the ‘confusion’ over political platforms in a two-party system masks the ‘criminal deeds’ of those who use both parties to forward their own ‘social’ agendas. The Eugenic Society; Planned Parenthood; UNESCO and even the American Medical Association are examples of groups, organization and institutions which serve to maintain the policies of profiteering in Misery [human bondage]; and corporate greed proliferates. What scriptures decry as ‘the drunkards of Ephraim’ becomes known through this ‘malaise’ as common knowledge – yet not fully disseminated information. Amongst a ‘well educated’ society; Habermas develops his concept of communicative action: communicative action serves to transmit and renew cultural knowledge, in a process of achieving mutual understanding. “He points out that the \"sociopsychological costs\" of this limited version of rationality are ultimately borne by individuals….surfacing as widespread neurotic illnesses, addictions, psychosomatic disorders, and behavioral and emotional difficulties; or they find more conscious expression in criminal actions, protest groups and religious cults. [3] This adverse concept of reification, although it runs deep, is constrained by the potential of rational argument to be self-reflexive and transcend its occupational use by oppressive agencies (as coercion – and exploitation). These social theorists agree (Weber and Habermas) that freedom and ideals of reconciliation are ingrained in the mechanisms of the linguistically mediated ‘sociation’ of humanity”.[3] Being sociologic then – communicative action structures discourse [ibid]; too bad this theory was unavailable to the fledgling American Society which inherited the constitution and its revolutionary ideals. Nearly incredulous – if communicative action serves to transmit and renew cultural knowledge then its lack of presence; as common sense and decency – could lead impulsive people into ‘discarding’ their traditional cultures for one which they could not possibly understand. Such a phenomenon is the Sons of Liberty; a social organization which helped to organize colonial society for the ideals of freedom. The Just for the Unjust At the 'Holiday Season' in 2006 the democrats had overturned the 'powers that be'. Immediately the most viable woman candidate for the ‘American’ Presidency proclaimed - \"it's time to drain the swamp\". This could fill one with enthusiasm except for the fact that the swamp which the wife of former President - first lady Hillar y Clinton [Senator Hillary Clinton] should have been referring to is not the one ‘drained’ at the time of the founding of Washington D.C. as the nation’s capital - which established \"District of Columbia\"; but the one created in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina with class 4 and 5 Hurricane winds. The degree of damages which 'super storms' have wrought was not confined to the Continental United States but to the entire Caribbean and Central America along both the Atlanti c and Pacific Coasts as well. This dystopian scenario; which has become global in extent - serves to amplify the 'insight'; the restless earth. Highly developed econom ies struggle to cope with the destruction; providing emergency relief and long term financial aid - yet the so-called 'world order' contributes little; except an insidious m anipulation of markets and goods for the sake of mega profits serving the purposes of transnational corporations. It has been identified that deeply involved with this 'contingency'’ *the European Union - a hegemony of
    55. autocrats and European bureaucrats]; provides little if any 'governance' over the effects of their 'legislative manipulation of the world’s m arket place'. Because these things are happening at the \"Millennium\" another dimension engenders hum an affairs and that is 'HISTORY'. Imperialism, Tyranny, and the Monument Builders are worldwide phenomenon which span the millennia; providing those who decry 'man's inhum anity to man' with ample reason to amplify 'the word of god' - \"I have weighed THE NATIONS in a balance and found them WANTING.\" Never was this judgment more aptly put than the inglorious history of the United Nations. Apologists provide the insight that there is another phenomenon at work in the aff airs of 'nations' and that is the complicity of 'myth makers' and 'robber barons' - the condemnation that \"the love of money is the root of all evil\". This misogyny has plagued every people in their development; such that history now must account for it . A conceptuality of TIME which physicists have given the world does not coincide with an avalanche of evidence provided by academic investigations of the 20th century. The quality and tenor of cultural development was highly 'precocious' from its inception - if perfection of such w ays of living in the amazing diversity of habit ats which the natural w orld enfolds; were civilizations measure; then a least a few (yeah - very many) of them have succeeded. The natural world has dominated cultural development; it has also been a source of much suffering; the need for 'good medicine' which 'mother nature' has abundantly provided is common. Yet a spectrum of deception enshrouds some aspects of cosmology; viewing history – thereby enabling mankind to be 'observed'. This 'gauge' demands that mankind 'repent of wickedness' so that they can m aint ain the quality of life in society. Isn't it ironic that the first 'manmade lens' which visited the universal realm beyond the 'veil' of Earth; captured a 'cosmic event' - 1987a Super Nova - a deep space 'object' which provides sincere coincidence with the wisdom that students of the Hebrew Scriptures have compared to another such 'obje ct' and that is - 'the eye of god' [Pine al]. If light is the measure of physical phenomenon as quantum physics has represented in its correspondence; then these truly ‘spectacular and amazing’ images which the Hubble Space Telescope transmitted to NASA reminds ‘one’ of the book of Jeremiah – written some 2600 years ago; perhaps the length of time which the light from this distance object is ‘calculated’ to have taken in reaching the ‘lens of history’. (Photos on page 67 – 70) Amazing that this developing 'cosm ic event' - coincidental with Judeo-Christian m illennial celebrations has received so little attention compared with black holes and astrobiology. Yet such ‘correspondence’ can provide even the most skeptical soul with a positive display of some type of universal mind. It is written 'not by might, nor by power, but only through m y spirit says the Lord your God.' Ancient astronomers viewed another 'eye' but that one [Pineal – others called Apollo] - when viewed by the powerful lens of Hubble today; is quite benign [of ordinary brightness] – in comparison (to the present moment of history): it was associated with the Greek ‘god’ - Apollo [that now is called Satan (the enemy); vanquished by the Archangel Michael (according to Biblical Tradition) - since those ancient times]. Scientists have observed that light propagates 'at a distance' - radiantly. Deliverance comes through repentance from ‘dead wor ks’. ‘1987a SN’ is a 'circle of bright stellar objects' – forming a ‘lens’ – which in the Infrared Spectral image can be visualized as a 'heart' (or even an infant) - it can be im agined (see photo montage); and a singular scripture comes to mind - Jeremiah 31:31 the proverbial 'new covenant' - a covenant in which the 'faithful' receives 'a heart of flesh'. Forgiveness then is tangential to causality. To the ‘mind of a child’ these things seem quite evident; but to the seasoned skeptic such imagination is ‘absurd’. The lens through which history is magnified has a singular historic correspondence . This is what the ancient church understood and is still honored today as – “the sacred heart of Jesus”. Yet this ‘heart of flesh’ – to
    56. replace ‘one made of stone’ can also be quite practical; he aling a person and prolonging their days. Orthodox religious practice has prescribed adamant rebuke for 'mystery religions' of the ancient world. In the 'western cosmology' this 'enmity' has become complete separation. This is in actuality the story of Israel in their becoming - a very painful lesson in obedience and the use of 'common sense' in moral values. The monument builders served 'Gods' which were of 'this world' and subsequently their 'spiritual development' was not edified by such 'deities'. Anthropology and Ar cheology clash very sharply w here the 'children of Noah' and the 'preacher of righteousness' are concerned. Ancient folklore and the development of writing systems present a picture of Taut - Oath; in which symbolic inscription is deemed a 'bill of sale' and the bearer of the oath bound to this transaction; apparently in much the same way that business is conducted today; yet the master - 'Yeshua the Messiah' forbade his 'chur ch' from this pr actice; especially in their relationships with one another. This is because the 'binding of an oath' is often done to the innocent in such a way that if the business transacted was ‘m ismanaged’ then the Toth [bearer] was bound to pay for it anyway [obviously le ading to civil authorities and their courts] . The 'living word' is one title which Messiah Yeshua is known by - how do ideas shape visualization; how does society create the lens through which its progeny view the world. No m an is righteous before God - no not one! Not amazingly was a 'Phoenician woman' whom Jesus healed at the boundar ies of Israel and 'Lebanon' yet it was Ancient Phoenicia which actually served to provide sanctuary for the ‘Chur ch of the East’ in its composition of the Gospel for posterity. Another 'semantic' distinction is that 'salvation' is by grace lest any will boast - faith; love; hope - these are 'immutable' gifts of God given to a 'the believer' who receives the 'Holy Spirit.' Sadly, the ancient heritage of Christian Lebanon is being looted - uprooted and destroyed through the failure of a foreign backed government - The Syrian; to protect them. This is also true of the United States of America in its war with and occupation of Iraq; these baathist regimes [with the ideology of democratic socialism and political fascism] are a blackened eye to people of faith everywhere; anti-Semitism a curse to those who hold it. America’s Imperial Presidency is responsible for this sad state of affairs. Many hold to the idea that the Global Village is inaugurated with the World Wide Web; as information technology propagates everywhere.......well not everywhere; in fact many nations do not allow their citizens access to this vast resource. The gospel has been propagated to 'every nation and every tongue' through the paradigm of 'good will' and 'good will' alone. The Balm of Gilead - Mazel Tongue's Oil Children may appreciate the relationship between stories; legends and mythology; for those who endured 'the cold war' they may remember the voyage of Nautilus; an American Nuclear Class Subm arine under the polar ice cap – which transverse the mythological North Pole! At one and the same time it is possible to see a 'mystical' story like 'The Snow Queen' and to le arn of the Viking settlement of Greenland which for some 400 years was a 'Christian Colony\" during the period which 'Etruscan' history recounts as 'dark ages'. Is it not a point of order that separ ation from the world; becomes 'salvation' of the soul. The Semitic world has not subscribed 'by and lar ge' to evolutionary theory; but has adamantly preserved their heritage as 'children of Noah', e ven when this heritage presents serious cultur al problems. This aspect of the hum an psychosis is certain – the traders of Phoenicia [ancient mariners] have no peers in the millennial moment; their colonies spread throughout the world. Concepts such as 'se afloor spreading' and the 'days of Peleg' speak of Ages in Chaos and an Earth in Uphe aval; yet Phoenicia and it's symbolic purpose is present at the very earliest stage s of the very difficult to circumnavigate globe. Notwithstanding the mythology of the ancients; which generally speaks of \"WONDER and DREAD\" – ‘the
    57. descent’ from Mt . Ararat *where the Ark of Noah – the Ark of Safety] is written to have come to rest; is one which spanned 500 years; but in comparison to the people of today – those people lived long lives. One rebellion which history provides evidence for - \"The Tower of Babel\"; is also a semantic term of derision – ‘babble’. This type of synonymy be comes quite arduous as people take up the commission to preach the gospel to every people and every tongue . Yet if one person commends another to be “an angel” then the synonymy could generate ‘good will’ but also a sense of humor…..especially when ‘contemplating’ a panoram a of m an’s history. A cosmic view of the millennia then from the vantage point of jubilee must relate to what is good and can be ‘justified’. It does not appe ar that history recounts ‘great differences’ between ‘ways of knowing’ but how ‘w ays of knowing’ are related to communities of good will. How a given person relates what they ‘have understood’ forms the basis of relationships. Wisdom foretells that ‘the leap of faith’ becomes theology with the realization that there is ONE who ‘both sees and he ars’. It is also this ‘great and holy spirit’ which reconciles people to one another – heart and soul to God. Ethics – the Discourse of Metaphysics (and sublimity of emotional intelligence) The relationship of symbolic logic [as a framework for correspondence with reality] to what is known or ‘can be know n’ is termed in Greek – as metaphysics. It can be appreciated as the praise that precedes understanding. Ultimately the ontogeny of nature [represented by The Tree of Life] is the system which supports terrestrial life – and as ‘Creations Ontologies’ unfold; the importance of ‘guarding it’; from abuse and exploitation for posterity – is caretaking worthy of everyone’s consideration. In consideration of this aspect of living – Ethics takes on a much greater importance. Putting the Love back into philosophy can appear to be a daunting task. One m odern thinker who was able to “bridge the gap” – so to speak; looked at the origins of metaphysics in the Greek Philosopher Parmenides; Edw ard Levinas and offered the insight that “Metaphysics abhors the Absolute”. Relation to this ‘absolute’ is represented by the concept of relativity – thank god; which to physics is termed ‘absolute par allelism’. Ethics are not relative in the moral sense; but provide a type of absolute relation - so how can they be considered as metaphysical paradigms? Levinas as one trained in existentialism and its phenomenology explains this ‘exigency’ in terms of relativity and the ‘absolute exteriority of being’; that BEING which is ABSOLUTE [as totality]. This exteriority is neither purely nor simply lost as a result of its MANIFESTATION [which others may represent as ‘appear ance’ or ‘visitation’. Absolution from this relation is obvious – ‘infinite distance’ and from it proceeds the idea of INFINITY. It cannot be the purpose of philosophy to make soul and spirit proxim al STRAN GERS. This is w hat existentialism with its alienation of the soul and nause a of being were actually presenting - not just a reaction to a ‘toxic subculture within society’. Perfectly disinterested ‘desire’ – as ‘presence before a FACE’; could be defined as GOODN ESS. This face is the ‘presence of the other in me’ – neither as ‘thematic gaze nor mere image’; it expresses itself in ‘conversation’. The Father – our Father; the other may even struggle for recognition separ ating happiness from desire; serving to glorify humility and reiterate responsibility as godly sacrifice . This ‘distance’ also separ ates religion from politics where the equality of ‘celebrants’ facilitates charity. Immanence becomes service to the other as others lest ‘true possession’ become the hostility of war. True religion must serve the purpose of rooting out historic misanthropy. TRUTH is the seen as the modality of the relation between the SAME and the OTHER……FACE the TRUTH as LOVE. This way conversion becomes an ethical relation. The desire for self – the ‘I’ of initiative and personal power; presages a judgment due to a lack of
    58. realization; which many deny. The eminence of discourse is not LOVE; nor ethics a way to transcend the presence of the ‘other’ – widows; orphans; his lordship as a stranger dispossessed; that is why the attitude that it is more blessed to give than to receive has ‘ascended’ to a universal ‘ideal’. The dimension of ‘interiority’ which councils the ‘other’ is ‘peculiar’ to this correspondence that ‘met aphysics’ maintains for ‘ethical discour se’. This separ ation and its distance (as truth) is discerned by the OTHER and does not form a ‘totality’ with the ‘infinite shore’ *receding cosmology+ – m aking the ‘absolute distance’ of metaphysics; real and actual. Supposedly this can be applied to the HISTORICAL: DISCOURSE so that it is ‘defined’ by its past but also a presence at the continuum’. Truth then demands that such phenomenon, manifestations, and apparitions must be unambiguous [which most of them are not] or at best they are merely temporal. The Eminence of the Other – Ethical Discourse in ‘The Light’ The Autonomy of Being is always privileged within its own residence. Yet ethical discourse separates the irrationality of language from its coherence . The ‘just’ expe ctation of the other for ‘fairness’- even in the privileged realm exceeds ‘discourse’; invoking Ethics. This relation is also been termed ‘Karma’ for the expectation of just retribution for deeds of the ‘self’. The logos *words+ invokes relation [the relation] since it also m aintains the other [to whom it is addressed] as REV ELATION . This revelation provides for a system of signs; SYMBOLICALLY – representing itself in its ‘entirety’ to all others; conserving memory in recollection. LANGUAGE in this ‘visage’ does not presuppose either ‘universality’ or ‘generality’ – but enables them. This COMMERCE is ethical. The ‘confidence’ of when to speak and when to be silent *listening+ is not ‘prefabricated’; but spontaneous. And so an ethical discourse in TRUTH with all its ‘internal logic’ is a struggle between ‘thinkers’…..with all the risks of FREEDOM. The relationship between ethical discourse and truth implies *in ‘symbolic’ representation+ some form of agreement; which even in ancient times could be expressed as AMEN – so be it . Pedagogic – The Master who teaches It is not that language ‘conditions’ consciousness; but that it ‘over comes’ the ‘anar chy’ of ‘facts’. Coinciding with these ‘conditions’ – being put into practice; self consciousness in the presence of the other provides justification for the ‘rhetoric’ of a ‘master’ – dedicated to the purpose of instruction in what is appropriate or sufficient. An objective of WORK is not a pretext for ‘denial of freedom’; it does not give the master the right to enslave *nor abuse+ his ‘students’. The difference between the didactic and its pedagogic counterpart rests with purpose; the pedagogic imposes discipline for the purpose of governance while the didactic presents reason with the logic of discourse invoking the ide al of metaphysics [discernment of the physical world]; in order to serve the purpose of society. This difference and it sim ilarities are evidenced by the oriental and occidental – masters of Taos and Zen can identify with professors of GEOMETRY and PHYSICS. Dangerous ‘cults of personality’ create mistrust for the rhetoric of the ‘psychogogical’ but the purpose of prayer and meditation is generally immutable. This ‘injustice of rhetoric’ becomes - its propaganda; pseudo flattery and diplom atic purposes. This is why politics using a cloak of injustice [in its intrigue with treachery] generally drifts tow ard; pedagogy, psychagogy and generalized demagoguery. This one-sided discour se is rhetoric. It solicits the approval of the other without ethics - tending tow ard violence; but not as For ce exerted upon inertia (in order to get the ball rolling) but upon the very freedom of others – this is He gelian semantic drift. Yet FREEDOM be comes incorruptible when considered as GRACE; compelled to face the other. Freedom disengages the rhetoric from its quasi-objectivity; exposing the intent of violence . This being is in no wise an object; but fulfills the discourse of truth. Justice is the recognition of the mastery of the other – whose universality consists of being recognized as
    59. one who accepts this authority. This is such that when an absolute other as - the ABSOL UTE OTHER [in righteous indignation]; admonishes ALL OTHERS – it may be remembered as: “come let us reason together, even though your sins are as scarlet – yet shall they be as white as snow .” This may stimulate a ‘Messianic Hope of Pe ace’ since this ‘condition’ m ay bring forth the ONTOGENY which the ‘MASTER’ is one and the same with. That which is absolutely other (wise) but is NOT; must be rejected – a priori. If truth arises in the absolute experience in which BEIN G gle ams with its own light – then TRUTH is only produced in ‘veritable ’ conversation or through JUSTICE. This can only be understood as a ‘relationship of discourse’ that must invoke *call upon the understanding+ of the other – compelling agreement with the same – in genuine empathy. COMMUNITY INTERPOSITION – Caretaker assigned to the Post of Interlocutory Philosophy must interpolate theoretical relations with metaphysical ones; such that desire becomes ‘perfectly disinterested’ facilitating the ‘Hope of Peace’. Peace is essential for ‘the community of good will’; because comprehension of ‘metaphysical relations’ as ‘information intelligence’ as such could be extremely ‘disinterested’. In such a community ‘assurance of acceptance’ may cause the ‘shock of encounter of the same with the other’. It can easily be demonstrated that being is the light in which ‘existents’ become intelligible; and is representative of such a correspondence. A critique of that which is dogmatic would invoke the ‘character’ of such a community - thereby requiring interpolation of its ethical morality – as an ‘empirical proof’; resisting the falsehood of those who cry ‘Peace, Peace – but there is no peace! In the kind [sublime] light of ethics – ‘metaphysics’ is bound up with the Eternal; in that ‘the idea of the perfect is the idea of the infinite’. I think I can is an ethical st atement expressing HOPE. Truth which should help to reconcile people to one another. ONTOLOGY is the First Philosophy of Power – the Power [as AMBIENCE] of First Order Logic Do ethics *THE ETHICS+ accomplish the critical essence of knowledge? Can it ‘disambiguate’ the first principle of Descartes [I think therefore I am?] – Where contrariness seems to invoke the ‘counter-intuitive’. Greek scholars; in the person of orthodox Christian scholars have sought out the roots of ONTOLOGOS and find that it is in fact the ‘naming’ which Adam performed for “GOD’ of the ‘cre atures in the garden’ when he ‘walked with the Lord’ in the ‘coolness of the day’. This is also one of the ‘first-order principles which information science utilizes the ‘ontology’ for. It is representative of the ‘hierarchical order’ which a given field of concern can be expressed within. This ‘embrace’ of ‘THE BEING’ is enigm atic to the theoretical relations which support it. Can ethical relations be opposed to ‘fir st philosophy’? This freedom – of theory; is identified in truth; not by contrary powers – albeit; seeking empathy of I with the other – all others. Is JUSTICE – ‘the non allergic relationship with alterity; ABSOL UTE EXTERIORITY? Est ablishment of the intention that ‘animates: the movement into truth’ – becomes IN TERPOSITED with AUTHORITY as emphatic ‘relation’. This ‘transcendence’ is not an object and it does not attempt to objectify the “INFIN ITE’. Which can only be comprehended as ‘IDEAS’ – whose presence is in their ‘be coming’. Ontogeny is not ‘separ ated’ from its ‘ontology’ – in its being WHAT IS! In fact they are one in the same as integral parts of the community of good will. Here faith is the ‘interlocutor’; “through faith it is understood what is hoped for; the evidence of things which are unseen”. Trust is one of the virtues of ethics. Faith is the spiritual presence corresponding with this ‘metaphysics’ – it must provide TRUTH w ith ethical correspondence - or it will be mistrusted and rebuked. This is why the saying – “Beware lest anyone spoil you through ‘philosophies’”; is a JUST adage ! Words like neumonian; thaum aturgic or noetic noesis
    60. invokes abstract concepts but can they st and in the first order logic? This is w hy in general there is no ‘philosophy of religion’ or any type of religion associated with philosophy – GOOD. True or False – Authentic or Superficial Philosophic ‘transcendence’ is very important to metaphysics; that being which is caught in its ‘meshes’ could be seeking to do it ‘violence’. Can ‘PURPOSE’ being negated stand as ‘trustworthy’? When truth is compromised – the COGNITIVE *to think+ will ‘analyze’; the stranger, the infinite and its ‘transcendence’ - not as an obje ct but immersed in its mental act so that purpose will become OBJECTIV E……as meditation. Agent Intellect who’s INTENTION it is to transcend usurpation of its ethical principles; seeks solitude in order to renew ‘personal integrity’ – this objectivity; can be come useful. This is when the proverbial ‘le ap of faith’ generates ‘good will’. Poetic expression in the work of Levinas *Totality and Infinity+ would express “Agent Intellect delivers I - as another to the transcendence of winged thought; divine release of the soul from the yoke of custom and convention – reason itself rising to ideals; CREATIVE MEDITATION”. Consciously dwelling; to abide [with enthusiasm] much better than being grasped with DREAD. Queen Christiana – Rene Descartes – Michael De Spinoza Merely seeking wisdom does not make one wise; for it is well taken: “The race is not to the swift; nor the battle to the strong”. And so ‘intelligence’ doesn’t necessary m ake someone ‘smart’ but the proper and strategic use of such talents and abilities - efficiently. Cartesian ideology [intangible] propose s that the infinite [infinity] designates a relation with being – as ontology *the thinker+…..if this relation is exterior to the thinker *one who considers an idea+. This ‘purely abstract and formal’ CONTRADICTION denotes the totality of what becomes ‘tautological’ – Cogito ergo Sum; I think therefore I am . This is not the idea of metaphysics. Separation of the I for the sake of the other; being purely altruistic – can begin to reconcile ‘the totality of the opposites’ <> providing a synoptic gaze [Gospels of Mathew, Mark and Luke] unto the millennia for the purpose of seeing one self as the other – through a lens which can transcend time and space. Has Physics and its philosophy of science been reduced to the hypocrisy of ‘physician deceive yourself’. Has it lost ‘moral balance’ – ethical equilibrium and taken upon itself meta-physical asymmetry; having lost the innocent capability to see itself as others do. The ide a of ‘r adical impossibility’ comprehends more than ‘negative spaces’ but essential truths in their ‘counter-intuitive’ aspects as well. In other words – the totality of opposites is integral to transcendence by metaphysics; not merely relative – but as either/or; the volition of choice. This is not a dictum of discretion and obscurity; bound to abstraction but comprehends DESIRE as a work of (this) intellect – aspiring to TRUTH and JUSTICE. This is so that intellect in utilizing ‘metaphysical transcendence’ can seek vocation *as PURPOSE] and become authentic. Such a desire must comprehend the relationship between truth and justice – because emphatic truth requires intelligibility; knowing that justice is possible. Psychology addresses this concern; spontaneity or inhibition - what will come of the ‘familiarity’ of ‘free exercise’. Distrust of the other by the same; being rooted in what is all too familiar; will result in contempt. Judging for oneself is a much different desire than judging others – ‘physician know yourself’; love your neighbor as yourself. Evidently - exteriority is defined by correspondence with infinity - representation of ide as through a ‘scheme *reason+’ or ‘theory’ needs metaphysics to prevent entering into that which is ‘Beyond Reason’ – this may seem trivial or simplistic; yet the ecstatic and its cathexion(s) [purging of the soul] requires sound reason as well. Is one purpose of ‘representation’ to separ ate ecstasy from reason – protecting Agent Intellect from its own idiosyncr atic relationship with nature? In light of that school of thought known as ‘British Empiricism ’ where reason takes on ‘rationality’ and so
    61. utilizes ‘first-order logic’ – FREEDOM is gained and CAUSALITY ordered. This ‘enlightenment’ as it is known presents moral notions in light of mathematics with the implication of IDEAS – ideas which can help man to ‘transcend’ his ‘miserable condition’ and overcome the adversity of a ‘hostile cosmology’ In the millennial wor ld of information technology this is called ‘the world wide web’. Reason is in the Living Ethos The question of obscurity or discreteness accentuates inquiry and its discourse with reason - whether it is face to face or impersonal. Discreteness is the sublim ation of the much decried ‘obscure seed’ of ‘arid quantum logic’. One point is quite well established; the ontogeny of millennium is manifested through mankind’s relationship with the Almighty. This is true historically in the cosmology of ancient peoples – Hermes; Enoch; and Rom an Mercury cannot in fact be differentiated but are synonymous – one Individual. The importance of ‘eschatological factors must not be underestimated when assessing the ‘Millennial Moment’ – which is a ‘global phenomenon’ that can be relied upon for appropriate authority. Also; seekers of peace can be greatly edified - because the accomplishments which these diverse celebrations have laid upon ‘the historic table’ account for the uniqueness of ontogeny w hich is the substance of ‘natural history’. In differentiating the ontology of m an himself from the study of his ‘development’ as a builder of ‘civilizations’ – the relation with a ‘benevolent creator can become a sincere measure of ‘longevity’; metaphysics notwithstanding. This m illennial moment has featured ‘Information Systems’ *one’s designed to correspond with LIGHT] – which are serving to ‘unite’ the world in ways never experienced before. This ‘sharing’ of ‘the light ’ has provided access to inform ation which was never available – to any but ‘the few’. Not surprisingly much of this ‘info’ contradicts the ‘scientific revolution’ and its eonic view of TIME. The ‘specter’ of Babel is one which information science can overcome and it does not seem pretentious to speculate that the same general principles were at work in the earliest appear ance of written languages; evidenced by their unquestionable influence on the growth of ‘world commerce’. It is however much more than this; even as mankind ‘interfaces’ with servo optical-ele ctronic ‘networks’; intelligence is evident. The programming which allow s these ‘wonders’ is in fact done by specially designed computer languages; how much more important then are human languages and their spe akers who may utilize this ‘excellent light’. Physical laws and mathematics provide the basis for a metaphysical appreciation of the e lectromagnetic spectrum; yet can never claim to have ‘created’ any of the vast resources that they utilize. Theology provides for an understanding of the ONE who corresponds w ith ‘the ages’ through ‘THE WORD’. Whereby this w ord is not sent but in expectation that it will accomplish the purpose for which it [is, w as, will be] sent and received [spoken, written, inscribed, symbolized]. Transcendence of Tot ality as Infinity This existent [ontogeny] – set free from its bondage in the [known] becomes identified as [knowing]; so that – the other which is always ON E interpolates [V ISITS] the ONTOGENY upon the ONTOLOGICAL. And the existents interpolation is transcended through intercession [the OTHERS I] in ancient times onward from: -----------------m an made objects and false spirituality; divinations and ‘m agic’ -----------------the ambiguity of separation from the divine nature without hypocrisy Disambiguation of the deception concerning ONTOGENY – represented by the Tree of Life and merging spiritually through atonement and this by God as the same; his GRACE. Separation of I as being [non-contingent || non-provisional+ from what psychology terms ‘self consciousness’ – can be
    62. appreciated as the distance between a person and god. Emphatic realization of the ‘he art of flesh’ as mortality which does not produce DEATH….this gr ace is the gift of GOD – and so fulfills the purpose of the ABSOLUTE OTHER as ON E. The problem of KNOWLEDGE and the KNOWER becomes ontological. In the case of Kierkegaard and Swedenborg – the Grace of Emotional Support for Intellect comes through the atonement of God’s son Yeshua HaMashiach *Jesus Christ+ at Golgotha (and its ‘empty tomb’). Improved Order of Red Men – [an example from History] The Improved Order of Red Men was founded in Baltimore in 1834 as a fraternal, social, insur ance and political society in the United States. The first tribe was Logan Tribe No. 1 in Baltimore, MD. However, the IORM claim s, that it is a lineal descendent of e arlier patriotic organizations - the Sons of Liberty, Tamm any Societies or Columbian Order, and the Society of Red Men. Tamenend was a seventeenth century chief of the Leni-Lenape tribe of the Delaware. He was credited with being endowed with special abilities to communicate with the Great Spirit. In 1682, Tamenend, sachem (\"counselor of the people\") and chief, welcomed William Penn to America and signed with him the Treaty of Shakamaxon. The Tammany Society took its name from this celebrated chief who was admired and beloved by both Indians and Colonists. Tam anend acquired the sobriquet, \"Saint Tamm any\". The Tammany societies were founded in Annapolis (1771) New York, Philadelphia, and other cities. The Tammany Society was founded originally as a philanthropic and patriotic society. After the Revolution it expanded along the lines of a fraternal/ charit able order for Revolutionary War veterans who could not join the officers-only Society of Cincinnati. In its early history, Tammany was considered a dem ocratic counter-weight to the Cincinnati. It’s main drawback; along with almost all other ‘societies’ was that not only w as it exclusionary but it completely excluded the very people that it was supposedly based upon. Yet at its peak in the 1930’s it claims a membership of half a million peoples. Is it rational to adopt the culture of people whom you have dispossessed? What reason could an upright Christian people have for reacting in this way. Perhaps it is like a leader of modern day American Indian s related: “many people have Indian blood and aren’t aware of it”. Perhaps others just wanted to identify with the founding fathers – little could they have realized what a great deception about the American Indian Brethren and their very important role in every aspect of that great undertaking.

Correspondence Principle and Commutative Expressivity ―Out of the mouths of babes; praise is perfected‖ – Holy Bible The Ontogeny of Environmental biology - Adaptation and the Tree of Life Ontogeny (also ontogenesis or morphogenesis) describes the origin and the development of an organism from the fertilized egg to its m ature form. Ontogeny is studied in developmental biology. Ontogeny [Phylogenic] corres ponds commensally with Ontology within the framework of a much more comprehensive metaphysics (providing axiomatic semantics) - it also reconciles 'casualty' with creation through the 'tree of life' concept even where such a concept is rejected [a divine creator].

    65. The correspondence principle with its commensality | incommensurability paradigm can be applied to 'ontogeny' where an \"idea of value\" is discerned. This \"idea of value\" must represent „integrity‟ as well; holistically. Global Seed Banks meet this requirement by protecting valuable plant species. CORRESPONDENCE forms a commensal relation with science so the two may coexist peacefully in a shared mental framework – noetic [eidetic] noesis. Representation Theor y utilizes the correspondence principle in this way.

The reading is based on the Latin text (Bibliotheque augustinienne, Paris); some knowledge of Latin may be helpful. Translations: either H. Chadwick (Oxford, 1991) or M.

Physics imparts the property of ‘super symmetry’ to the metaphysics; this is why without ethics ‘the metaphysics’ are erroneous ; the concept of a monopole is perfectly harmonious with conception and perception as well – through this learning and insight are accom plished. Is the ‘magnitude’ of 1987a SuperNova a characteristic of ‘The Absolute Other’ as interpolator (creator)? The question of incommens urability to a ‘classical observer’ is of the utmost importance; Especially when ‘interpreting’ natural phenomenon such as SN 1987a - because the ‘metaphysical’ principles which allow such interpolation to be ‘represented’ are ‘theoretical’ at best.

    67. \"In progressu generationis humanae semper crevit notitia veritatis .\" - John Duns Scotus, medie val Franciscan (Free translation: \"Truth may shine more brightly as a result of profound investigation\", a noble sentiment from a Fr iar Minor whose philosophy concurrently opposed those of Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure ....). Listing of a link does not necessarily imply agreement with the material presented. The Age of Enlightenment [Middle Ages] did not actually begin until „Truth‟ was discerned as that which is determined by one‟s reason and verified by one‟s faith – thereby Reason requires Faith [trust] for those who seek TRUTH. Scriptures remind man that only God as Father is the author and finisher of our faith. Here is an example of how Thomas Aquinas used this relationship to understand metaphysics in the light of God‟s creation. ......\"Some have maintained that the local movement of an angel is instantaneous. They said that when an angel is moved from place to place, during the whole of the preceding time he is in the term \"where from\"; but in the last instant of such time he is in the term \"whereto.\" Nor i s th ere any need for a medium between the term s, just as there is no medium between time and the limit of time. But there i s a mid-time between two \"nows\" of time: hence they say that a last \"now\" cannot be assigned in which it was in the term \"where from,\" just as in illumination, and in the substantial generation of fire, there i s no last instant to be assigned in which the air was dark, or in which the matter was under the privation of the form of fire: but a last time can be assigned, so that in the last in stant of such time there is light in the air, or the form of fire in the matter. And so illumination and substanti al generation are called instantaneous movements.”.... [St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Part I, Question 53, 1265/7] The ‘profound investigations’ of Quantum Physics at the millennium have both proven and demonstrated that which scripture discerned as ‘eye has not seen – nor has any ear heard what God has prepared for those who love him.’ A new metaphysics is in the ‘offering’; which nanotechnology and it’s Green Economy is demonstrating on a daily basis. A friend would remark – ‘The only thing I am afraid of today is when the angels sound those trumpets’ *Gabriel’s horn+ – if this seems ‘incredulous’ – take a look at the deep space photography of Hubble Space Telescope published in the summer of 2008. The source of the ‘Tree of Life’ concept is of course the Book known as the BIBL E.

But in eukaryotes, the genetic information is, in the vast majority, interrupted by nucleotide regions that do not code for proteins. These are called intervening sequences or introns.

    69. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-114924599.html This article is a brief introduction to the extraordinarily complex phenomenon of life and to its molecular basis. We begin with the amazing diversity of life forms and the equally amazing unity in the molecules underlying life's processes……..After an introduction to some of these key mole cules and to the central dogma of molecular biology, we can begin to see the outlines of how such molecule s can accomplish the tasks required of simple and then more complex life forms. The introduction concludes with a brief account of some of the new instruments and model systems that are now so rapidly advancing scientific understanding of life. We deem necessary to: 1- Promote an active policy towards the protection of intellectual property rights (IP) for m any of the key issues. IP agreements between Funding Agencies must contemplate the claim s of other institutions (i.e .: universities or firms where research is carried out) 2- Promote international establishment of standards for products derived from NT. Many physical or chemical properties may already be measured for regular materials or components but NT contribution may increase significantly some limit values for new materials (viscosity, chemical stability, among many others) 3- Promote the remote use of instruments to break the gap between research laboratories and even to allow the access of the manufacturing sector to NT. 4- Establish local committees to study potential risks in pr actices. Investigate risks and hazards and write rules or exchange best practices to overcome them (as done previously with genetic constructions or dangerous chemicals). Would general regulations and st andards like those of FDA or EPA be applicable? 5- Include safety and ethical issues as a separate chapter in research meetings. Once risks are cle arly identified, the compliance with protocols, safety rules and ethics should be an issue for 1) project proposals at financing agencies and academic and business labor atories 2) release of products to the market 3) appropriate disposal mechanisms. Many countries have established national committees to evaluate these practices for the introduction and handling of Genetic Modified Organisms, among others. Bioengineering and Bioethics – Ontogeny and Metaphysics http://www.non-gmoreport.com/ Bioethics and Biologic Integrity – ALL ORGANIC MOV EMENT – FOOD LABELING A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as recombinant DNA technology. Recombinant DNA technology is the ability to combine DNA molecules from different sources into the one molecule in a
    70. test tube. Thus, the abilities or the phenotype of the or ganism, or the proteins it produces, can be altered through the modification of its genes. [Controversy - Genetically modified food and Transgenic plants [such as grown in Paraguay] Transnational Corporations and their EU [Europe an Union] trade sanctions have created a global marketplace bureaucr acy. Making GMO’s in the case of GMF and transgenic plants very dangerous indeed due to constraints on sanctioning ‘competitive advantages’. Also many of the TNC’s which are accused of promoting transgenic plants and consequently GMFs; coincident ally they are also the sponsors of the World Tr ade Organization; Bilderberg Meetings and the ‘euphamous’ Tri-lateral Commission (Club of Rome). Ontogeny is defined traditionally in its relationship to Phylogeny; as the “origin” and “de velopment” of cellular structure and function, to biological molecules, bioenergetics, to the genetics of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, and to the elements of molecular biology. Ontogeny (also ontogenesis or morphogenesis) describes the origin and the development of an organism from the fertilized egg to its mature form. Ontogeny is studied in developmental biology. The idea that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, that is, that the development of an organism exactly mirrors the evolutionary development of the species, is discredited today. However the phenomenon of recapitulation, in which a developing organism will for a time show a similar trait or attribute to that of an ancestral species, only to have it disappear at a later stage is well documented. For example, embryos of the baleen whale still develop teeth at certain embryonic stages, only to later disappear. A more general example is the emergence of what could develop into pharyngeal gill pouches if it were in a lower vertebrate in almost all mammalian embryos at early stages of development. (April, 2001). Excerpt [amongst many others – courtesy of Wikipedia] Morphogenesis and Cytology provide the ontogeny necessary to “appreciate” the living world which has well sustained “the habitants”. Succession works within dynamic ecosystems providing a sound basis to explain the diversity of life in its global “Biomes” *Ecosystems+. Mother Nature is a “fitting” and “appropriate” ontology which is universally accepted. Mankind has “just begun” to understand the principles which sustain “living systems”; Space Exploration is one indicator of this understanding. Only a few ye ars ago very few references to Ontogeny – it has greatly increased its “semantics of concern” in recent years. The Ontogeny of Environmental biology || Adaptation and the Tree of Life Zoonosis - Reference > Zoonosis Updates Zoonosis (pronounced zoo-e-no-sis) is any infectious disease that may be transmitted from other animals, both wild and domestic, to humans or from humans to animals. The word is derived from the Greek words zoon (animal) (pronounced as zoo-on) and nosos (disease). Many serious diseases fall under this category. The plural of zoonosis is zoonoses, from which an alternative singular zoonose is derived by back-formation. The simplest definition of a zoonosis is a disease that can be transmitted from other animals to humans. A slightly more technical definition is a disease that normally exists in other animals, but also infects humans. The emerging interdisciplinary field of conservation medicine, which integrates human and veterinary medicine, and environmental sciences , is largely concerned with zoonosis.

The Correspondence Theory and Its Competitors – theoretical considerations Against the traditional competitors—coherent-ist, pragm atist, and verificationist and other epistemic theories of truth—correspondence theorists raise two main sorts of obje ctions. First, such accounts tend to lead into relativism. Take, e.g., a coherent-ist account of truth; since it is possible that ‘p’ coheres with the belief system of S while ‘not-p’ coheres with the belief system of S*, the coherent-ist account seems to imply, absurdly, that contradictories, ‘p’ and ‘not-p’, could both be true. To avoid embracing
    72. contradictions, coherent-ists often commit themselves (if only covertly) to the obje ctionable relativistic view that ‘p’ is true-for-S and ‘not-p’ is true-for-S*. Second, the competing accounts tend to lead into some form of idealism or anti-realism. E.g., it is possible for the belief that p to cohere with someone's belief system even though it is not a fact that p; also, it is possible for it to be a fact that p even if no one believes that p, or if the belief that p does not cohere with anyone's belief system. Cases of this form are frequently cited as counterexamples to coherent-ist accounts of truth. Coherent-ists tend to reject such counterexamples by insisting that they are not possible after all—a reaction that commits them to the anti-realist view that the facts are (lar gely) determined by what we believe. B. according to the identity theory of truth, true propositions do not correspond to facts, they are (identical with) facts: the true proposition that snow is white = the fact that snow is w hite. This non-traditional competitor of the correspondence theory threatens to collapse the correspondence relation into identity. In response, a correspondence theorist might point out: First, the identity theory is defensible only for propositions as truth bearers, and only if propositions are construed in a certain w ay, namely as having obje cts and properties as constituents rather than ide as or concepts of objects and properties. Hence, even if the identity theory of truth were accepted for propositions (so construed), there would still be ample room (and need) for correspondence accounts of truth with respect to other types of truth bearers. Second, the identity theory rests on the assumption that that-clauses always denote propositions, so that the ‘that-clause’ in “the fact that snow is white” denotes the proposition that snow is white. The assumption can be questioned. ‘That-clauses’ can be understood as ambiguous names, sometimes denoting propositions and sometimes denoting facts. The descriptive phrases “the proposition…” and “the fact…” can be regarded as serving to disambiguate the succeeding ambiguous ‘that-clauses’. Metaphysics requires a ‘simple upper-level ontology’ – (from Kent || after Aristotle) Four major categories:  substance (the primary category)  quality  quantity  relation in addition, there were several minor subcategories of relation:  determination in time and space  position  condition  action  Passion or passivity. Here is an excellent example of how ethical philosophy deals with the question of common sense. Formal Ontology, Common Sense and Cognitive Science Barry Smith – Univ. of Buffalo From: International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 43 (1995), 641-667. Abstract Common sense is on the one hand a certain set of processes of natural cognition - of speaking, reasoning, seeing, and so on. On the other hand common sense is a system of beliefs (of folk physics, folk psychology and so on). Over against both of these is the world of common sense, the world of
    73. objects to which the processes of natural cognition and the corresponding „belief-contents standard‟ relate. What are the structures of this world? How does the scientific treatment of this world relate to traditional and contemporary metaphysics and formal ontology? Can we embrace a thesis of common-sense realism to the effect that the world of common sense exists uniquely? Or must we adopt instead a position of cultural relativism which would assign distinct worlds of common sense to each group and epoch? It is then necessary to distinguish between: O1. Natural cognition as a totality of processes (within which we can distinguish various sub-totalities of language, reasoning, vision, etc.); O2. the more or less coherently organized systems of pre-scientific beliefs (of folk physics, folk psychology, etc.), which are extractable from this totality of cognitive processes and which can be seen as playing a central role in the organization thereof;(2) O3. The world (the system of reference-objects) to which the cognitive activities and beliefs in O2 primarily relate. This gives rise to a corresponding division on the theoretical side between: T1. Sophisticated (scientific) theories of the processes in O1 (for example psychological theories of the workings of the human visual system); T2. Sophisticated (scientific) theories of the naive belief-systems in O2;(3) T3. Sophisticated (scientific) theories of the objects in O3. (Archetypes and their Artifacts) Unfortunately, none of the listed dimensions is entirely unproblematic and each is the subject of as yet unresolved debates between different philos ophical and methodological camps. Thus many cognitive scientists see work on developing theories under T3 as part and parcel of attempts to develop com puter simulations of common-sense reasoning and beliefs under O1 and O2. This association - which is manifested in the very terminology of `naive physics', `folk psychology', etc. - has led some to suppose that the scientific investigation of the structures of the common-sense world ought properly to involve the use of less sophisticated logical or mathematical tools than are available to those engaged in scientific investigations of other sorts.(4) This assumption is here rejected. Common-Sense Realism The thesis that there is only one world towards which natural cognition relates is a central plank of what philosophers in the course of history have identified as the doctrine of common-sense realism. This is a doctrine according to which: a. we enjoy in our everyday cognitive activities a direct and wide-ranging relational contact with a certain stable region of reality called the common-sense world; b. our everyday cognitive activities rest upon a certain core of interconnected beliefs - called `common sense' - which is in large part true to the common-sense world as it actually is, not least in virtue of the fact that such beliefs and our associated cognitive capacities have arisen through interaction with this world; Appearance and Reality Our na tural cogni ti ve experiences a re of course in many cases non -veridi cal , and thus the Common-sense realist mus t confront the fact of error. At the same time, however, i t mus t be pointed out that common-sense is itself aware of the many sorts and species of error that are involved in our everyday cognitive endeavors . Thus common sense is not, in spite of its reputation, naive; it draws a systematic distinction between reality and appearance, or i n other words between the wa y the worl d is and the wa y the world seems or appea rs via one or other of the sensory modali ties and from the perspecti ve of one or other percei ving subject in one or other context. The thesis that there is only one world towards which natural cognition relates must thus be understood as being compatible with the thesis that there are many different ways in which this world can appear to human subjects in different sorts of circumstances.(8) Perception as Discrimination The common-sense realist holds tha t perception is a s ource of veridi cal informa tion about the common-sense world. As
    74. Neisser puts i t: `Under normal circumstances, perception of the local environment is immediate, effortless, and veridical' (1987, p. 11). The puta ti ve informa tion supplied by perception is al wa ys pa rtial , and sometimes erroneous , but i t ca n in every case be supplemented and corrected by the ga theri ng of further informa tion about the sides of objects we cannot see, about the future beha vi or of objects, and so on. Common Sense and Physics – (The ‘common-sense’ world supports a ‘transcendental’ realization) The common-sense realist mus t also confront the ques tion of the relation between the common-sense worl d a nd the world tha t is des cribed in the textbooks of standa rd physics . Here a gain a number of different philosophi cal al terna ti ves ha ve been mapped out in the course of philosophical time, including the view tha t i t is the common -sense world tha t is trul y autonomous while the world of physics is to be awa rded the sta tus of a cul tural a rtifa ct.(11) How could we discover that common sense is false? The doctrine of common-sense realism is not merel y a doctri ne concerni ng the ontological sta tus and na ture of the common-sense world. The doctrine also has an epis temological component, embra ci ng a thesis affi rming the existence of a network of a ctually exis ting rela tions between the objects i n this world and oursel ves as cogni zing a gents , rela tions whi ch fa cili tate veri dical cogni tion: the world and i ts subjects a re as i t were in tune wi th ea ch other. Thus common-sense realism is to be contrasted not only with idealism but also with what might be called asymptotic or utopian realism, a view a ccording to whi ch cogni ti ve a ccess to reality ca n in principle be a chieved, but onl y in the long run, wi th the ul tima te perfection of our cogni ti ve appa ratus, when some future ul tima te s cience will finall y ma tch up to the world as i t is in i tself. Like va rious forms of idealism, as ymptotic realism denies wha t seems to the common-sense realist to be the evident fa ct tha t we a re al ready in di rect conta ct wi th the world, or wi th much ‘furniture of the worl d’, and ha ve been so for a long ti me. (Moore 1959, p. 33) A Note on Model -Theoretic Semantics An adequate theory of na tural cogni tion presupposes a theoretical understanding also of the structures of that common-sense world to which natural cognition relates (Habermas terms this as ’Life-World’). This thesis is a t odds wi th the thesis taken for gra nted by many modern philosophers - a thesis ra rel y expli ci tl y formulated - to the effect that the tasks of semantics and theory of reference are most properly to be realized by investigating not the concrete world of common sense but certain sorts of abstract structures. This applies very clea rl y, for example, to those formal philosophers working in the tra diti on of Monta gue, but the mentioned thesis is much more widel y held, and i t is nowada ys almos t alwa ys ta ken for granted tha t the job of the sema ntic theorist invol ves the cons tructi on of special set-theoreti c models. The la tter serve as surroga tes for the things and events of the common-sense worl d, so that semantic investigation of the sentences of natural languages (and of the thoughts whi ch these sentences express) remains a t one - removed from the world towa rds which - on a realist understanding - these sentences relate. This is a reasonable outcome i f the aim of semanti cs is one of cha ra cterizing linguisti c structure in i ts own ri ght, i.e. independentl y of i ts concrete referential applica tion. It is reasonable also if the aim of semanti cs is one of specifying the meanings of those ‘syncategorematic’ terms - for exa mple; quanti fiers and other logi cal cons tants - which pla y a role equally in all domains of dis course. It is through a trea tment of such functional meanings - and this is the glory of post-Ta rskian semanti cs - tha t set-theoretic models are able to help us to understand the truth-behavior of logically compound sentences i n terms of a prior unders tandi ng of the truth -beha vior of the logi call y simple sentences - out of whi ch they a re constructed. Where, however, our concern is precisel y wi th the world -embrangled meanings of a natural language and with the associated worl d-embrangled s ys tems of natural cognition, then this sort of semantic investigation must at the very least be supplemented by inquiries of a different sort, inquiries pertaining precisely to the structures of the common-sense world. Onl y thus, indeed, will we be in a posi tion to es tablish the adequacy of set-theoretic models of natural language of the more usual sort. Against Methodological Solipsism (the ada mancy of ethi cal philosophy) The thesis tha t semanti cs ought properl y to proceed by dealing onl y with certain abs tra ct models tailored to and dependent upon the s tructures of the languages wi th whi ch the semanti c theoris t deals, has i ts analogue, in the ps ychologi cal sphere, in the doctrine of `representational' or `internalism'. This doctrine, whi ch lies at the heart of much contempora ry cogniti ve s cience, has roots in the view of Des ca rtes to the effect tha t the external world coul d be in every respect completel y different from wha t i t is (could even not exis t) and yet our thoughts would remain exa ctl y
    75. the same. Perha ps the s tronges t sta tement of the internalist thesis has been formulated by Fodor in his paper (1980) on the methodology of cogni ti ve ps ychology. If, Fodor a rgues , our ps ychologi cal processes were to be concei ved as rela tional in s tructure in the sense tha t they a re intrinsically of or about certain corresponding real-world objects, then the inves ti gation of such processes would ha ve to invol ve the inves tiga tion also of those ‘objectual’ targets themsel ves . This , however, would rule out the possibili ty of a s cience of ps ychology. For the latter, before it could formulate laws of i ts own, would need to presuppose a theory of the objects of thought (Metaphysi cs?), and this, as Fodor puts i t, woul d ha ve to be a theory of everything, a uni versal pan-s cience embra cing all other s ciences as cons ti tuent dis ciplines. A ‘nomological’ psychology would ha ve to `a ttempt to s pecify envi ronmental objects in a vocabula ry such tha t environment/organism rela tions a re ‘law-instantiating’ when so des cribed.' But `we have no access to such a vocabulary prior to the elaboration (completion?) of the non-psychological sciences' (Fodor 1980, p. 300). Thus we could not construct a na turalis tic ps ychology of reference unless we had some wa y of sa ying for exa mple what salt is, whi ch of i ts properties determine i ts causal rela tions wi th other things and with oursel ves , and so on ‘ad i nfini tum’. Folk Psychology and Folk Ontology The set of common-sense beliefs about external reality is of course pa rt of a wider totality whi ch incl udes also common-sense linguis tics , common-sense economics , a common-sense theory of ethics and law and table-manners as well as much else, and i t is by no means easily de ta chable from this wider ba ckground. Reall y exis ting common sense is a jumble of many different things , ranging from tra nsient and culture-dependent prejudices to uni versally a ccepted truths as tri vial as: an A is an A. Common sense includes a massive storehouse of factual knowledge about colors and sounds, about time and space, about what foods are edible and what animals are dangerous . How, then, can we bri ng some necessary order into this jumble? Recall, first of all, that in developing our theory of the common-sense world we shall not confine ourselves to the resources available at the level of common sense itself. Rather, we shall use in our theorizing the most sophisticated instruments available, paying attention to common-sense beliefs and reasoning processes only insofar as these help us to determine the nature and limits of that common-sense reality which is the proper object of our investigations. Anthropology The firs t clue to the nature of such pruning is provided by anthropology, and we shall in fa ct begin our pruning by res tri cting our a ttentions , as bes t we can, exclusi vel y to those beliefs which are common to all cultures and societies. Ea ch cul ture has of course its own cul ture -specifi c common-sense beliefs pertaining to external reality. Anthropologists ha ve, however, established tha t there is a non -tri vial core of such beliefs whi ch is , modulo va ria tions in emphasis and calibra tion referred to above, common to all societies . Such beliefs belong to wha t the anthropologist Robin Horton calls `primary' theory, as contrasted with the `secondary' theories of a religious, mythical or scientific nature which pertain to what lies beyond or behind the world that is immediately given in perception and action. As Horton puts i t: Pri ma ry theory reall y does not differ very much from communi ty to community or from culture to cul ture. A pa rti cula r version of i t ma y be grea tl y developed in i ts covera ge of one a rea of experience, and ra ther undeveloped in i ts coverage of another. … These di fferences notwi ths tanding, however, the overall fra mework remains the same. In this respect, it provides the cross-cultural voyager with his intellectual bridgehead. Pri ma ry theory gi ves the world a foreground filled wi th middle-sized (say between a hundred times as la rge and a hundred times as small as human beings), enduring, solid objects . These objects a re interrela ted, indeed inter-defined, in terms of a `push-pull' conception of causality, i n whi ch spa tial and temporal contiguity a re seen as crucial to the transmission of change. They are related spatially in terms of five dichotomies: `left'/`ri ght'; `above'/`below'; `in-front-of'/`behind'; `inside'/`outside'; `conti guous'/`sepa ra te'. And temporali ty in terms of one trichotomy `before'/`a t the same ti me'/`a fter' denotes . Fi nally, pri ma ry theory ma kes two ma jor dis tinctions amongst i ts objects : fi rs t, that between human beings a nd other objects; and second, among human beings , tha t between self and others . In the case of seconda ry theory, di fferences of emphasis and degree gi ve pla ce to s tartling differences in kind as between community and community, cul ture and cul ture. For exa mple, the Wes tern anthropol ogis t brought up wi th a purel y mechanis tic view of the world ma y find the spi ri tualisti c worl d-view of an Afri can communi ty alien in the extreme. (Horton 1982, p. 228)
    76. Developmental Psychology The idea that there is a non-tri vial, true theory of reality tha t is common to all people has a long history, ma king i tself felt al ready in connection with doctrines on the na tural law in Ulpian and Aquinas .(23) The idea is often formulated in developmental terms , as for exa mple in the work of the French Jesuit Claude Buffier who, in a rguing agains t what he saw as the threat of skepticism initiated by the Cartesian philosophy, presents a view of common sense as a ma tter of certain dispositions gi ven by nature to all men or, mani festl y, to the grea t ma jori ty, so tha t when they ha ve a ttained the use of reason they ma y pass common and uniform judgment concerning va rious objects of pri va te opi nion indi vidually percei ved. This judgment is not the consequence of any prior principle. (24) Or as Thomas Reid would ha ve it: common-sense beliefs, i n being sha red by all of us pas t the s tage of infancy, a re such tha t they form an inevi table presupposition to our intercha nge wi th others . These beliefs a re taken so much fo r granted tha t whatever is contra ry to them appea rs not false but absurd. Dr. Benjamin Spock and his prognosis of kindness won the da y for a new genera tion. Cultural Relativism Wha t of a rguments to the effect tha t the common-sense world is a cultural a rtifa ct of Wes tern s cience, a framework for organi zing da ta which is presupposed by Wes tern linguists , anthropologists and others and whi ch is as i t were foisted on the da ta obtained in the inves tiga tion of alien cultures in such a wa y as to make i t appea r that the common-sense worl d thereby `discovered' amounted to a cul tural inva riant? Views of this sort seem to be implied by the work of philosophers such as Quine, whose thesis of the inscrutability of reference might be hel d to support the claim tha t we can never know the ontology of an alien i nterlocutor since we can never enjoy data tha t is free of our own ontol ogi cal imputa tions . As Kelley a rgues, however, Quine's very formulation of his own thesis is inconsistent, since it uses terms such as `language', `reference' etc. as i f the referents of these terms were themsel ves ‘s crutable’. Linguis ti c idealism in general is , as Kelley points out, incompa tible wi th the knowledge used to explain and defend i t. Linguisti c idealists rel y on a theory of human beings as objects of s cientifi c knowledge, including theories of how language is lea rned and social pra cti ces incul ca ted, to explain in wha t sense the objects of knowledge and the truth of propositions depend on our conceptual scheme, and to jus tify thei r claim tha t they do so depend (Kelley 1986, p. 193). Towards a Theory of the Common-Sense World Pri ma ry theory is a ma tter of beliefs rela ting to the objects of di rect perceptions . This means : 1. Perceptions which do not involve the interpolation of any theory or interpretation or other perceptions which are integrated directly (physiologically), rather than via some conceptually mediated process of deduction or inference. And it means; 2. Perceptions which are typical or generic, in the sense that they do not involve special instruments or apparatus or special circumstances - as contrasted e.g. with perceptual experiences in the cinema or in the psychology laboratory or under special chemical influence. Such special cases are not significant from the point of view of the specification and delineation of the common-sense world (a state of affairs parallel, in some ways, to that which obtains in the field of research into linguistic universals). For the common-sense world is delinea ted by our beliefs about wha t happens in ‘mesos copi c’ ‘reali ty in most cases and mos t of the time. It is oriented, in other words , about the focal instances of the phenomena of the everyda y world, ra ther tha n about non-s tanda rd or deviant phenomena . Is it then proper to consider Common Sense as ‘mesos copi c’? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge that we have lost in information?\" T.S. Eliot, The Rock (1934) pt.1 Merci W. Cooper -- Mathematics does play, however, also a more sovereign role in physics. This was already implied in the statement, made when discussing the role of applied mathematics, that the laws of nature must have been formulated in the language of mathematics to be an object for the use of applied mathematics. The statement that the laws of nature are written in the language of mathematics was
    77. properly made three hundr ed years ago; [8 It is attributed to Galileo] it is now more true than ever before. In order to show the importance which mathematical concepts possess in the formulation of the laws of physics, let us recall, as an example, the axioms of quantum mechanics as formulated, explicitly, by the great physicist, Dir ac. There are two basic concepts in quantum mechanics: states and observables. The states are vectors in Hilbert space, the observables self - adjoint operators on these vectors. The possible values of the observations are the characteristic values of the operators - but we had better stop her e lest we engage in a listing of the mathematical concepts developed in the theory of linear operators. A much more difficult and confusing situation would arise i f we could, some day, establish a theory of the phenomena of consciousness, or of biology, which would be as coherent and convincing as our present theories of the inanimate world. Mendel's laws of inheritance and the subsequent work on genes may well form the beginning of such a theory as far as biology is concerned. Furthermore,, i t is quite possible tha t an abs tra ct a rgument can be found which shows tha t there is a conflict between such a theory a nd the accepted princi ples of physi cs . The a rgument coul d be of such abs tra ct na ture tha t it might not be possible to resol ve the confli ct, in fa vor of one or of the other theory, by an experi ment. Such a si tua tion would put a hea vy s train on our faith in our theories and on our belief in the reali ty of the concepts whi ch we form. It would gi ve us a deep sense of frus tra tion in our sea rch for what I called \"the ul tima te truth.\" The reason tha t such a si tua tion is concei vable is tha t, fundamentally, we do not know why our theories work so well. Hence, thei r a ccura cy ma y not prove thei r truth a nd consistency. Indeed, it is this wri ter's belief tha t something ra ther akin to the situa tion which was des cribed above exists if the present laws of heredi ty and of physics a re confronted. Let me end on a more cheerful note. The mi racle of the appropria teness of the langua ge of ma thema ti cs for the formula tion of the la ws of physi cs is a wonderful gift whi ch we neither unders tand nor deserve. We should be gra teful for i t and hope tha t i t will remain valid in future resea rch and tha t it will extend, for better or for worse, to our pleasure, even though perhaps also to our ba fflement, to wi de branches of lea rning. « His toi re et philosophie des ma théma tiques Le quasi-empi risme en philosophie des ma thémati ques .

The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the s ense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry. BERTRAND RUSSELL, Study of Mathematics The real problem of BRST super symmetry - Physics requires Metaphysics Incommensurab ility b ecomes the real issue within this micro-macro dichotomy DIRAC STRUCTURES ON HILBERT SPACES - A. PARSIAN and A. SHAFEI DEH ABAD (Received 5 May 1997 and in revised form 4 August 1997) Keywords and phrases. Dirac structure, maximally isotropic, Hilbert space, $L$-admissibility. The Becchi – Rouet – Stora - Tyupin (BRST) quantization method Richard Feynman's book Lectures on Gra vitation (1962-63 lectures at Caltech), Addison-Wesley 1995, contains a section on Quantum Gravity by Brian Hatfield, who says: \"... Fe ynman ... felt ... that ... the fact that a mass less spin-2 field can be interpreted as a metric was simply a \"coincidence\" ... In order to produce a static force and not just scattering, the emission or absorption of a single graviton by either particle [of a pair of
    78. particles] must leave both particles in the same internal state ... Therefore the graviton must have integer spin. ... when the exchange particle carries odd integer spin, like charges repel and opposite charges attract ... when the exchanged particle carries even integer spin, the potential is universally attracti ve ... If we assume that the exchanged particle is spin 0, then we lose the coupling of gravity to the spin -1 photon ... the graviton is mass less because gravity is a long ranged force and it is spin 2 in order to be able to couple the energy content of matter with universal attraction ... Hence, the gravitational field is represented by a rank 2 tensor field ... the antisymmetric part behaves like a couple of spin-1 fields ... and therefore should be dumped. This leaves a symmetric tensor field ... the higher spin possibilities are neglected ...‖ Feynman's book also contains a Foreword by John Preskill and Kip S. Thorne in which they say: \"... Fe ynman's investigations of quantum gravity e ventually led him to a seminal discovery ... that a \"ghost\" field must be introduced into the covariant quantized theory to maintain unitarily at one -loop order of perturbation theory ....it was eventually DeWitt ... and also Faddeev and Popov ... who worked out how to generalize the covariant quantization of Yang-Mills theory and gravitation to arbitrary loop order ...\". Comments about Higgs fields, noncommutative geometry and the standard model Abstract: G.Cammarata R.Coquereaux We make a short review of the formalism that describes Higgs and Yang Mills fields as two particular cases of an appropriate generalization of the notion of connection. We also comment about the several variants of this formalism, their interest, the relations with noncommutative geometry, the e xistence (or lack of existence) of phenomenological predictions, the relation with Lie super-algebras etc. „Spontaneous symmetry-breaking‟ is physics for „phase change‟ - ice to w ater::solid to liquid The Higgs mechanism requires \"spontaneous symmetry breaking\" of a scalar field potential whose minima are not zero, but which form a 3-sphere SU(2). In particular, one real component of the complex Higgs scalar doublet is set to v / sqrt(2), where v is the modulus of the 3-sphere of minima, usually called the vacuum expectation value. A good description of BRST cohomology is in the paper of Garcia-Compean, Lopez-Romero, Rodriguez-Segura, and Socolovsky. As they state, the only force for which a re-normalizable quantum theory is not well known is gravity. Do physics and it's cosmology offer a plausible description of creation? As cosmologists and physicists push the boundary of our understanding of the universe ever closer to its beginning, one has to wonder whether the creation event itself is explainable by physics as we know it, or can ever know it. Though such a program still seems quite fantastic, not so long ago it seemed utterly unthinkable. A few theoretical physicists have started to work on the problem. One approach, still highly speculative, is to consider our entire universe as the result of a tiny quantum fluctuation in the vacuum. Under the right circumstances such a fluctuation could expand to scales unimaginably larger than the entire observable universe. Clearly, these questions are at the heart of humankind's quest to understand our place in the cosmos. They inv olve some of the most fundamental unanswered questions of physical science. But why, in a time of great national needs and budget deficits, should the U.S. taxpayer support such seemingly impr actical research as that described above? Cosmology based solely upon \"modern\" physics and its quantum field debates is like the Tertullian Theories of the medie val monastic‟s....egocentric. It is intuitive and compelling to theorize about cosmological origins and universal principals ; e ven precocious - yet the magnitude; momentum and sheer unwieldy nature of such vastness accounts theology as greater than philosophy.

ON THE QUANTUM BRST STRUCTURE OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dirac-Bergmann Observables for Tetrad Gravity an ‘Enveloped’ Comet Abs tra ct. The electromagnetic, weak, strong and gr avitational interactions are described by singular Lagrangians, so that their Hamiltonian formulation requires Dirac-Bergmann theory of constraints [1,2]. The requirements of gauge and/or diffeomorphism invariance…..r eduction to the physical degrees of freedom is done only at the quantum level with the BRST method. However, in this way only infinitesimal gauge transformations in the framework of local quantum field theory are considered……. while behind the gauge freedom of gauge theories proper there a re Lie g roups acting on so me internal space so tha t the measurable quantities must be gauge invariant ……( invariant systems of relativistic particles) concerns the arbitrariness for the observer in the choice of the definition of \"what is space and/or time\" (and relative times in the case of particles), i.e. of the definitive properties either of space-time itself or of the measuring appar atuses. Courtesy of Luca Lusanna [Sezione INFN di Firenze] Have Acoustic Oscillations been detected in the Current Cosmic Microwave background Data? and Last ARCHEOPS flight Abstract The angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microw ave Background has been measured out to sufficiently small angular scale to encompass a few acoustic oscillations . W e use a ‘phenomenological fit’ to the angular power spectrum to quantify the statistical significance of these oscillations and discuss the cosmological implications of such a finding. Creations “Lambda Presence” – Paradox – Enigm a - Mystery This ‘quintessential’ state – may be what science discerns as ‘Energy’. And how should this energy flow? Is this question an appropriate discernment of an even more important one – what is the relationship between energy and information? K theory (non-commutative) represents ‘profound incommensurability’ – considered from the perspective of Quantum Mechanics; especially in practice. For non-commutative geometry to correspond with the commutative purposefully - the Bose/Einstein effect must be explained. Its demonstrated ability to ‘slow down’ – light; to 10% of its ‘propagate const ant’ will prove to be of ‘inestimable’ value. It also may help to understand the large-scale distribution of dark matter in the universe [Condensed Matter Physics].
    80. Putting the Love back into Philosophy INTUITION - Common Sense? Is \"Conscience\" - intuitive? Our age old debate What is CONSCIOUS? Intuition: Discernment of Conscience! Pause to reflect; inquire into the nature of soul and spirit within traditional debate in light of our presen t historic millennial moment. Being ‘long considered’ and polished - yet written in kindness; as it considers theology; metaphysics; ethical mor ality and intercultural relations. This Intuitive Moment is not a long book - but can challenge even the most learned scholar and still be understandable by ordinar y people. Is ‘Faith’ necessary to reconcile “reason” with “purpose”? This 'requirement' can help to explain why Relativity *in both the special and generalized sense+ discovered an “uncertainty principle” identified with its enigmatic ‘quanta’. Reading “the mind of God” *a daunting t ask+ as 'revelation' involves correspondence with “his” creation and the information; which it enfolds. Yet in order to “correspond” with this “discernment” – a relationship with the “Creator – God” becomes expedient; this is good – since scripture states emphatically; “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him”. This ‘relationship’ is commensurate with FAITH. The difference: between faith and reason; actually defines what traditionalists term “metaphysics”; yet it is the practice of subverting reason with divination and cultural prejudice which creates mistrust of it - especially within “ecclesiastical” traditions. Acceptance of correction is the rod which measures “reason”. In the Judeo-Christian tradition – The diety; Almighty God…..is the author of Faith. “Faith comes through hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Lack of this gift is tragic; “For without faith it is impossible to please God”. Its purpose is salvation; yet “faith without works is de ad”…..remanding the sinner “Salvation is by Grace alone…..lest any man should boast”. “Come let us reason together”…..the prophet Isaiah re cords – “though your sins be as scarlet, yet shall they become as white as snow .” Grace then is the manifestation of God’s love; especially in consideration of free will and the “quasi autonomy” of our “classic observer”. This dichotomy *reason and purpose+ is manifest as “material reality” and its “energy”; confronting observation with “ choice” and this “choice” demands resolution. Is correspondence with “truth” the “determinant” of uncertainty or will choice be based upon the probability which determines “statistical analysis”. Like the “noble” cosign in its relationship to the infinite pi….the spirit has given utterance – “Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of that which is unseen”. Symbolic meani ng and words – Words and their symbolic representation are metaphysical [and spiritual] coordinating the will. The observers volition is confronted with an immense cosmology poised for action. Here is the division of soul and spirit. Conceptualization and Visualization require ‘representational’ semantics for \"ontological\" interpretation – “abstract reason” interfaces with that which can \"Correspond\" with the “real world” and its “living creatures” – this “appreciation” *interactivity+ is “ cognitive” *of noesis+ – it is also ‘e cological’ requiring an appreciation of ‘ontogeny’. How “ide as” shape this ontological visualization *cognition of “abstract
    81. entities”+ fulfills the ‘purpose’ of discourse. The sense of being “categorical” the n - is ontology”; giving semantic utterance – in the sense of providing such an ‘appreciation’ with “words” for relationship and discourse. To study and observe – of cour se is the primary requirement for this ‘enigm atic’ Ontology; here common sense wisdom becomes invaluable . Truth and 'Correspondence are concepts which Ethical Philosophy must use coherent logic to interpret for manifold pr actical purposes. Science, Perception, and Reality present another ‘trichotomy’ which affects those seeking empirical truth – semiotic representation! ‗Early to Bed – Early to Rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.‘ – Benjamin Franklin “Be a little more careful of Love than everything else.” – Common Sense The ‘Great ’ Paradigm Shift becomes correction of a ‘perceptual’ error (the universe as ‘a virtual vacuum’). The ‘semantic web’ is actually a highly sophisticated technology for knowledge repr esentation. The semiotic function and the genesis of pictorial meaning – the question of holistic perception (unitary) Göran Sonesson…………………………………The argument for — and against — conventionality Bier man, Goodman, Lindekens, and Eco, have all argued against using similarity as a criterion in the definition of iconical signs and/or pictures; and even Burks and Greenlee have introduced some qualifications on Peirce’s view which serve to emphasize conventionality. To an important extent, these arguments are erroneous, among other things because they ar e based on an identification of the common sense notion of similarity with the equivalence relation of logic. Differently put, they ar e inadequate because they suppose man to live in the world of the natural scien ces when in fact he always inhabits a particular socio-cultural Lifeworld. The most immediate consequence of this fact is that many of the conventionalities attributed to pictures turn out to be inherent in the particular Lifeworld. This means that, whenever some peculiarities of an individual or a thing, some traits of the woman or the zebra, are locally given importance, they also make up the features given primary importance in a picture. In conclusion, then, there can be no unit ary semiotic function, applying both to verbal language and pictures, if the term is taken in Hjelm slev’s sense. Hjelmslev himself would certainly not have argued that either: to him the picture was a symbol, in a sense different from both the Peircean and the traditional one: a system allowing for no separate division inside the planes of expression and content, and thus requiring no separation of the planes. Latter-day semioticians, however, have often supposed the semiotic function, in Hjelmslev’s sense, to be unitary. It now appe ars that both positions are too simplistic. Millennial Moments for Historic Insight – ‘The Common Good’ Post Modernism - against Modernism (the aridity of abstraction) 'We are dancing the last dance', he proclaimed in his le cture cunningly entitled 'Architecture Matters'. When Eisenm an calls for architecture and architects to quit messing around with semiotics and get with some kind of social program , It does m ake you wonder what he's been putting in his tea. But it was a welcome and cogently articulated broadside--against Modernism (the aridity of abstraction), Post Modernism (the good society replaced by the good life) and the current preoccupation w ith spectacle and meaningless computer generated form-making. 'Something that comes from nothing can go back to nothing' he thundered evangelistically. According to Eisenman, we're at another crucial m oment of paradigm shift and the world is holding its breath to see what comes next. The choice is ours. Though it's easy to sneer at his Dam ascene conversion, Eisenm an's discourse was at le ast provocative ,
    82. and bore some relevance to the UIA's overall theme, cumbersomely posited as 'meeting the city with architecture again'. Intended as a riposte to the contemporary urban condition, the UIA conjured up a '50s B-movie nightmare vision of 'the people of the world trapped inside big introvert buildings, skyscrapers, supermarkets and cars unable to experience architecture anymore'. Tr apped inside the Lutfi Kirdar Rumeli Hall with 2000 others trying to get a handle to Zaha Hadid's le cture, I began to see their point. My random jottings, in the teeth of visual and aural intelligibility, have an appropriately poetic dislocation--'layering and reconvention of geometry', 'violating certain contextual issues' and lots and lots of 'distortion'. But the Phaeno Science Centre does look fabulous and La Hadid sure knows how to work a room. Discussing his current work, which included the new subterranean museum in Naoshima Island as an example of ar chitecture deferring to nature (p68), Ando (w hose commitment to environmentally responsive ar chitecture would appear to see him single-handedly re-foresting Japan) stressed the importance of patience . In one of his earliest proje cts he proposed a series of landscaped roofs, an ide a so unpalat able to his then clients that he was unceremoniously bundled out of their offices. Near ly 40 years later, in his new commercial complex for Omotesando Avenue (Tokyo's Champs Elysees), the concept has finally come to fruition. Modern Ist anbul is a pleasantly rackety assault on the senses, stuffed with reminders of its exotic, historic evolution. Yet it has familiar urban problems--overcrowding, pollution, rotting heritage, tottering transport, suburban sprawl. Accommodating the constant influx of new arrivals (around 500 each day) still tends to consume resources, with little left for historical preservation or good new civic buildings. Potential showpiece developments are more often missed opportunities (the glass stump of the Ritz-Carlton, for instance), and the proposals for Haydarpasa st ation on the Asian shore promise much worse (p22). And in an apt illustration of the draw backs that often accompany the urge for Western-style 'modernization', the new Formula One circuit currently under construction to the north of Istanbul is rumored to be compromising a major water basin. Yet though Istanbul's population has swollen from 3 million to around 15 million since 1970, somehow it all still sort of works. Chastity, in many religious and cultural contexts, is a virtue concerning the state of purity of the mind and body. The term is most often associated with refraining from sexual intimacy, espe cially outside of marriage. Chastity is often taken to be synonymous with virginity or abstention from all sexual activity; however, some consider sexually active married couples to be chaste if they have relations only w ith each other. Due to prohibitions of sexual intimacy outside of marriage in Abr ahamic religions deriving from the Decalogue and Mosaic law, the term has become closely associated with premarital sexual abstinence in Western culture; however, in the context of religion, the term remains applicable to persons in all states, single or married, clerical or lay, and has implications beyond sexual tempe rance. For other uses, see Catharsis (disambiguation). Catharsis, Latin from the Greek Catharsis meaning purification or cleansing (also literally from the ancient Greek gerund ?a?a??e?? transliterated as kathairein \"to purify, purge ,\" and adje ctive katharos \"pure or clean \" ancient and modern Greek: ?a?a???), is a sudden emotional breakdown or clim ax that constitutes overwhelming feelings of great pity, sorrow, laughter, or any extreme change in emotion that results in the renewal, restoration and revitalization for living. Catharsis is a form of emotional cleansing first defined by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. It refers to the
    83. sensation, or literary effect , that would ideally overcome an audience upon finishing w atching a tragedy. The fact that there existed those who could suffer a worse fate than them was to them a relief, and at the end of the play, they felt ekstasis (Greek: ??stas??) (Literally: astonishment, meaning: trance), from which the modern words exstasis and ecstasy are derived. While seemingly related to schadenfreude, it is not, however, in the sense that the audience is not intentionally led to feel happy in light of others' misfortunes; in an invariant sense, their spirits are refreshed through having greater appreciation for life . Religion Another meaning under the heading of 'pur ging' can concern body and soul— in religion, it concerns efforts made to come to terms with guilt and sin, as by penance such as by chastisement (in modern use of that word, the meaning of punishment has taken over from the original sense of purification), such as practiced by flagellants; a testimony to the age of this use is the very name of the Cathars (a medieval sect). In Mysticism, the end of human life and of philosophy is to realize the mystical return of the soul to God. Freeing itself from the sensuous wor ld by catharsis, the purified hum an soul ascends by successive steps through the various degrees of the metaphysical order, until it unites itself in a confused and unconscious contemplation to the One, and sinks into it in the state of ‘e cstasis’. But is it ‘verily’ (a living soul)? Thus in the neo-Platonism of Plotinus, the first step in the return of the soul to God is the act by which the soul, withdrawing from the world of sense by a process of purification (catharsis), frees itself from the trammels of matter. [edit] Cathartic Sacrifice In early cults, the distinction between sacred and uncle an is far from complete or well defined (see Taboo); consequently we find two types of cathartic sacrifice: one to cle anse of impurity and m ake fit for common use, another to rid of sanctity and in like manner render suitable for human use or intercourse. The most conspicuous example of the first class is the scapegoat. Two goats were provided by the ancient Hebrews on the Day of Atonement; the high priest sent one into the desert, after confessing on it the sins of Isr ael; it was not permitted to run free but was probably cast over a pre cipice; the other was sacrificed as a sin-offering. In like m anner in the purification of lepers two birds were used; the throat of one was cut, the living bird dipped in the blood mingled with water and the leper sprinkled; then the bird was set free to carry away the leprosy. In both these rites we seem to have a duplication of ritual, and the parallelism of sacrifice and liberation is clear . ON THE face of it, they m ake an unlikely band of revolutionaries. But from their base in the Surrey stockbroker belt, a group of middleclass housewives have been carefully planning their strategy. This week, the uprising began.

It is not surprising that the authors of these papers are all scholars of literature, for not only do we expect literary (and cinem atic) works to provide a kind of chronicle of changes in the status of privacy over time , but those works have played a role in those changes themselves. They are not only a record; they have been agents. One of the words almost reflexively associated with the word \"privacy\" today is \"technology.\" CALL ME QIN GNIAN BUT NOT FUNU: A MAOIST YOUTH IN RETROSPECT. | From: Feminist Studies | Date: March 22, 2001 | Author: ZHEN G, WAN G A few days before Women's Day of March 8, 1978, my five roommates and I were in our college dorm after class. [1] Each of us had just received a movie ticket from the administration. To celebrate Women's Day, our college was show ing a movie free to all female faculty, st aff, and students. St aring at the ticket in her hand, Qiao, the youngest among us, protested: \"Yuck! How come now we are counted as WOMEN [funu]?! It sounds so terrible!\" Her strong reaction amused us. But we all agreed that we did not like to be categorized as women. For us, funu, the contemporary Chinese term for... More young men heeding messages on abstinence. (Culture, Et Cetera) From: The Washington Times | Date: August 8, 2000 | Author: Wetzstein, Cheryl Former McLean High School var sity baseball player Carter Crain took the \"True Love Waits\" chastity pledge in 1993. In a culture where male virginity is uncommon, Mr. Cr ain kept his promise until his wedding day in 1998. Today, he says saving sex for marriage took effort, but he made it with the support of like-minded male friends, personal commitment and faith. \"And it was worth it, without a doubt. Without a doubt,\" he says.

Deviance from the accepted and common good requires retribution. This \"just retribution\" is immutable; rebuking that which de ceives using m alice and intimidates through violence. Where a \"deviant elite\" have succeeded in \"placing themselves outside the reach of the law – ‘adversarial’ justice is enforced through its *this ‘elite’+ corruption of law enfor cement. A classical problem of truth - Here is an example of how adversity begins. The solution [to such generalized corruption] w ithin government has become \"The Grand Jury System\".
    86. The Living Word – Faith and Truth From Generation to Generation - Hallelujah! He (God) has concluded them all in error....So that...He (the Lord) could have mercy upon them all! There is none righteous, no not one all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.......eye has never seen; neither has any ear heard....what God has prepared for those that love him. For God so loved the world...... that he gave his only begotten son.....to the end that all who believe in him shall have everlasting life and also to those who believe upon his NAME. You are my son...........this day have I begotten thee. Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach) Christ the righteous...he is the atonement for our sins. Millennial Jubilee Celebration Host Perhaps it is that time is an illusion; yet from generation to generation people track time (worldwide) as precisely as possible - this tracking is actually astronomic in nature and the actual duration of time has produced some compelling theological and philosophic arguments. A thousand trips around the sun afford earthlings \"HISTORIC INSIGHT\" and this is the basis for \"millennial jubilees\"; celebrations of unique identity and shared cultures which help to reconcile one person unto others whom they may nev er have met. Created: Saturday, Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Years), 2008 -5769 Once Created; Life is begotten – its virtue depends upon many complex factors; not the least of which is moral goodness. Merely claiming that the unborn are ‘people ’ does not make it so; nor does possession of it give one rights of judgment over it. Trust is a concept which modern man is w ary of – for it convicts him of being responsible. The question of the rights of the unborn and its relationship to the common good; is a ‘delicate’ one in most cases. Traditionally women were not afforded ‘reproductive rights’ but ‘doctors’ and other ‘tribal chiefs’ did perform abortions [infanticides] – this is historic record. Also Social Darwinism and it’s Hegelian Ethics produced reprobate institutions which advocated ‘Eugenics’; ‘Planned Parenthood’; whose proponents and well documented membership in organizations like Thule; Ku Klux Klan; Ancient Order of Masons; and the Knights of Columbus have produced a tragic legacy of denial and demented social programs – especially in education and mental he alth. Also the ‘golden age of physics’ was usurped by the criminal element in global society who used scientific invention to exploit cheap resources and forced labor while actually misusing the inventors intent [often in ‘insane’ attempts to gain power]; this phenomenon has many examples – truly too m any to mention. A Human Being Must Be a Person - clear thinking about crucial issues I would say that life begins before conception -- gametes, neurons, all extant cells are alive, and further they are all beings of the species Homo sapiens -- which is why \"human life\" and \"human being\" are not morally significant classifications. The crucial classification is \"person.\" -- Louis M. Guenin, lecturer on ethics in science, Harvard Medical School1 In the moral analysis, what's critical is that once you're a being who is human, a being with the potential to become an adult, then you are a bearer of human rights. -- Rev. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, Ph.D., neuroscientist and bioethicist, National Catholic Bioethics Center2
    87. The Church teaches that the human embryo from the moment of its conception is a human being and so cannot be subjected to . . . experiments.-- Georges Cardinal Cottier, O.P., former theologian of the papal household3 Christian authority must be more than a pretense of ‘righteousness’; claiming to be ‘the sign and safeguard of the transcendental dimension of the human person’ – while people can question their ‘stewardship’ - ‘oversights’ on human experimentation and even Genocide spans East and the West; because in significant terms these policies and pr actices have made the rich far richer and the poor far poorer in every land but their own – where anar chy and even Gangsterism are used ‘liberally’ to gain ‘a fair share’ for those who m ay feel cheated. Yet Miriam Bar David the mother of Jesus – prophesied even at the time of her ‘conception’ of the messiah; ‘that the poor he has filled with good things – while the rich are sent empty away’. The argument about the sacredness of hum an life [all life truly] cannot be judged through the darked lens of societies denial of its own corruption. Law must state clearly and w ith as little ambiguity as possible; why a human fetus may be prevented from gestation or how and w ith what guar antees can a growing hum an embryo be aborted – thereby prevented it (for whatever legally adam ant reason) from becoming a child (and sin is its name)….the idea of forcing rape other crimes as an ‘misogyny of birth’ cannot be allowed to be part of a legal system where such crimes are otherwise punished as severely as the law allows. Political Organizations speak of the rule of law; while the laws they make are not fit to rule anything or anyone . Further the church rightly argues: “According to the classic definition o f Boethius (480-524 A.D.), a person is \"naturae rationabilis individua substantia,\" i.e ., an individual subst ance of a rational nature, a definition defended by St. Thomas Aquinas”.33 “A human body must have a hum an soul -- a rational soul.49 Human life requires a human anim ating principle, which is the rational soul. A hum an being with a r ational soul is a person, since a spiritual soul is the ontological ground of personhood.50 A human being must be a person.” Recently on ‘Cash Cab’ – a Cable TV Show filmed [2008] on the streets of New York City; the contestants were asked the question. “When a person dies; the body losses a ‘discernable weight – what is this weight; exactly”? The answer is ‘on the average – about 21 grams’! A Slice of Life glimpse at ‘ecumenical theologies’ – Christian Denominations A well-known controversy with the Anglican Chur ch of England is still burning brightly! The Bishop of Springfield [former Navy Re ar Admiral Beckwith] asked some questions that demark the division between the two gospels that are preached in The Episcopal Church. \"Is Jesus Lord and Savior, or is He friend and prophet? I think that He can be friend and prophet, but if He's Lord and Savior, that's only incident al. Is Jesus a way, or The Way? Is truth what you think it is, or is it God's Truth?\" \"Is the Bible a resource for me to feel good about myself, or is it a challenging document?\" Cardinal Marc Ouellet gave the opening homily for the 126th Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus in Quebec City, addressing the \"prophetic\" teachings of Hum ane Vitae and calling for a \"civilization of love.\" Promulgated in 1968 by Pope Paul V I, the Papal Encyclical Humane V itae proclaimed the paramount necessity of protecting life and family . Most famously and controversially, it condemned all forms of artificial contraception as being intrinsically evil. The cardinal noted the \"evolution of the culture towards divor ce, abortion, homosexuality and destruction of marriage and family...foretold to some extent in the message of Humanae Vitae .\"
    88. The concept of post-modern humanism is often in deceitful ‘collusion’ w ith what Law Enforcement agencies worldwide term ‘the occult’ – generally a term used to categorize ‘secret societies’ historically tied to rogue elements of various religious sects and orders . The Christian Chur ch in it s many aspects and long history; is no exception – when it is remembered that ‘power corrupts; and absolute power corrupts absolutely’ this is an important consideration to investigate; few governments acknow ledge this danger. John Paul I Pedro Arrupe the ‘Pope Mobile’ 1982 Jean-Baptiste Janssens Pope Paul VI Albino Lucian Jesuit General Papal Protection from Assassins Giovanni Battista Montini The Question of a m alevolence of Ethics is apparent in the ‘bad odor of Italian Politics’; from the time of Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’; the Quatrains of Nostradamus; or as outlined in a recent book – ‘Unholy Trinity’ (about the hotly denied Nazi escape route through the Vatican which was operated with the complete cooperation of the Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S.A.); the temptations of world power have corrupted the great Roman Catholic Communion ( and Christianity in General) – yet the same admonition is given to those who overcome; says the one speaking to the seven chur ches in the book of Revelations – that he would given them power to receive SALVATION. It is also written – “many are called, but few are chosen”! Pope Paul VI (Giovanni Battista Montini) died under ‘guarded cir cumstances’ in 1978 (his admonition during the years of fascist dict atorship in Italy was “fight fascism with faith’). Due to an attempted assassination (year s earlier) by a Basque Jesuit fanatic and also be cause his ‘policies’ were out of line with the intelligence which the ‘Club of Rome’ and its United Nations were instituting in many Industrialized countries; there was speculation of ‘foul play’. th th Humane Vitae does not solve the never ending global population explosion which the 19 and 20 centuries bear witness to - yet this ‘pontification’ has some justification; because it does address the questions of mor ality and spiritually unique to marriage and the family. Its deficiency is that it fails to recognize the primary cause of destruction [through the lack of common sense] of the very life support systems which the world’s ecologic environments maint ain – not merely as resour ces for exploitation; economies which m any nations use to repay large debts to the ‘World Bank’. The Millennial Jubilee of the year 2000 – promoted by the ‘One Day for Peace’ organization; and its 200 million signatories - could not provide the impetus to forgive the ‘econom ic coercion’ which this debt represents – to retire this debt for the good of those struggling nations governments; simply because of the Ethical concern that they would only use the ‘largesse’ to pur chase more military weapons systems…..as they were already doing. Holy Zion – Don’t let your good be evilly spoken of: Most of the world if not all - would be unaware of Zion if not for the Hebrew Scriptures; this is a warning to those who trouble themselves with Israel; it’s ancient people or the glorious City of Jerusalem. If the Jewish people seem prone to separate Politics from Religion – something that this world’s Hegemony has consistently failed to do – what of it? Christian Zionism is no exception – yet Mt. Zion is real and The Jerusalem Covenant has been written [symbolic of 3 millennia]. Mt. Zion is
    89. the ancient habitation of Salem *the home of Abraham’s biblical ally Melchitsedek - Genesis 14:18] whom some believe is actually in fact – Shem; the eldest son of Noah – The Preacher of Righteousness. The millennial jubilees converge outside of Jerusalem, Israel at 'The Garden Tomb'; often called Golgotha and Calvary by the churches of the East and of the West! The uncanny accuracy of biblical passages presages ONE who both SEES and knows. It is written - 'I will make Jerusalem a praise in all the earth'; but Jesus also lamented over the 'city of peace'; Jerusalem, Jerusalem - you shall not see me again until you say 'Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord'. Zionism has helped to fulfill this ‘calling’. Zionism is then a call to brotherhood and acknowledgement of a common faith in God. Even though the land of Israel was subjugated by many different groups of people in their long history; the record conclusively verifies that the children of Israel have dwelt in the land from before the time of Moses even until today – with only one or two exceptions. This presence is according to promise – the Church of the East as it is known today was in fact the original Church which is the ‘branch’ alluded to in Isaiah 53 and it was from this branch *principally in modern Lebanon – ancient Byblos] that the liturgy of service was composed. This heritage is generally ‘unsung’ but if history is any indication of the Truth; then the determination of the Christians of Lebanon to remain free provided the opportunity which ‘Zionists’ would later ‘capitalize’ upon. Mt. Zion dominates the land which believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob came to know as Israel; this mountain is a great plateau area with Mt. Mariah and Jerusalem on the South and East – Megiddo [Armageddon] and the Jezreel Valley *dry bones+ to the North and West. It’s prophetic significance is beyond doubt; many songs give glory to the faith which was delivered from it – Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return and come with singing unto Zion and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads…..they shall obtain gladness and joy….sorrow and mourning shall flee away…..therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return and come with singing unto Zion and everlasting Joy shall be upon their heads. The preeminence of Messiah [Anointed One] is from ancient times – Shiloach; the one who is sent is first heard of in the prophetic blessing of Jacob – who was renamed Israel; of his son Judah: One thing is very important to remember – The Law goes Forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. the blessing that we are receiving in this ‘days of grace’ in terms of understanding and sharing; were not available throughout ‘the ages’ – for it is written ‘many looked for your day but could not find it’. Grace is the password in these ‘days of Jacobs Trouble’.
    90. Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Kidron Valley [1870] from Innocents Abroad [Samuel Clements] Mesha Stele [850 B.C.E.] found in MOAB - {1868] In the days of yore – the first millennia of Jerusalem: Herod Antipater and his grandson Herod Agrippa were not of the house of Israel – but of Esau [so the legend goes] and their demise also was the beginning of the great Diaspora of Israel (the dispersion) – but it was their ‘collusion’ with the Caesars of Etruscan Rome which enabled the destruction which came upon the land in the 1st and 2nd centuries of the modern era. Titus and Hadrian were Pagan rulers who perpetrated the ‘conquest’ and these were the situations of which Messiah prophesied when he said ‘and when you see these things come to pass – flee into the hills; do not think twice – just flee for your lives’. Messiah is the good Sheppard; he laid down his life so that his people could be forgiven. Gospel of John 20:21-23 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whom so ever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whom so ever sins ye retain, they are retained.

    91. Acts 5:33 - 5:39 33 When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. 34But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a short time. 35Then he * 36 said to them, ‘Fellow-Israelites, consider caref ully what you propose to do to these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was killed, and all who followed 37 him were dispersed and disappeared. After him Judas the Galilean rose up at the time of the census and got people to follow him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from 39 these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them—in that case you may even be found fighting against God!’ They were convinced by him, Gamaliel the Elder (gəmā'lēəl), or Rabbi Gamaliel I, was a leading authority in the Sanhedrin in the mid first century. He was the grandson of the great Jewish teacher Hillel the Elder, and died twenty years before the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem. He fathered a son, whom he called Simeon, after his father's name[1] , and a daughter, whose daughter (i.e., Gamaliel's granddaughter) married a priest named Simon ben Nathanael [2] . The name Gamaliel is the Greek form of the Hebrew name meaning reward of God. In the Christian tradition, Gamaliel is celebrated as a Pharisee doctor of Jewish Law, who was the teacher of Paul the Apostle[3] ; the author of the Book of Acts portrays Gamaliel with great respect[4] . Shaalu shalom - they shall prosper who love thee Golda Meir Tikkun Olam Acts 9:31 31 Meanwhile the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up. Living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers. Perhaps this is why Yeshua reminded his disciples – “He who teaches that Torah is to be followed and obeyed; the same shall be great amongst you” – and again in his preaching of the beatitudes; ‘not one jot or title shall pass from ‘the law’ *Torah+ till all things are fulfilled’. The Messiah of ‘the nations’ was no law breaker; he did not blaspheme; neither did he advocate any type of lawlessness. And it must be remembered that the policy of the ‘sapling’ Church not to require Gentiles to convert to the Mosaic Tradition in order to be members of the Faith was not given by publicans but through the ministry of one of the students of Gamaliel himself; Paul – whose doctrines form the basis of evangelical Christianity. That faith comes through the free will – one’s heartfelt choice; in this case proved to be great wisdom; is it any surprise that even the most aggressive of Israel’s ancient enemies have produced Churches in which these traditions have become common practice – while the mission of Israel is still a unique and sacred calling.
    92. The Law of Res tora tion interfai th conferences – Alexandria , Eyght 2002 The Millennium Wheel This idea of \"unfairness,\" or, on its positive side, \"fair play,\" is a concept which is very largely Anglo-Saxon and which is largely based on the class structure of England as it existed up to the early twentieth century. This class structure was clearly envisioned in the minds of Englishmen…,this is also true throughout the world – endemic poverty often supports hereditary ruler ship and it’s ‘privileges’. This sense of privilege often becomes criminal in nature. David Ben-Gurion proclaiming independence beneath a large portrait of Theodor Herzl, founder of modern Zionism This attitude was ‘transposed’ upon the British Mandate period when the land was divided: Palestine became Transjordan [The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordon] and Israel – this division created enorm ous conflicts - books like ‘Cross Roads to Israel’ by Christopher Sykes document this history. British rule created the problems which people accused Israel of perpetrating – these problems – elitist attitudes and lack of social institutions seriously limit conflict resolution. This educational system was based on three great negatives, NOT easily understood by Americans. These were:  education must not be vocational - that is, not aimed at assisting one to make a living;  education is not aimed directly at creating or training the intelligence; and  education is NOT aimed at finding the \"TRUTH\" It aimed at developing a moral outlook, a respect for traditions, qualities of leadership and cooperation, and above all, perhaps, that ability for cooperation in competition best summed up in the English idea of \"sport\" and \"playing the game.\" Because of the \"restricted\" num bers of the upper class in Britain, these attitudes applied chiefly to one another, and did not necessarily apply to foreigners or even to the masses. They applied to people who \"belonged\", and not to all human beings.
    93. Masonic Symbolism Gog and Magog of Scriptures Pope Benedict’s Book Elitist World Economy Online Poll - Would the State of Israel be justified in launching a military strike to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities? Total votes: 264 If anyone cares to notice – a lot of pressure is being exerted in the ‘court of public opinion’ to generate paranoia about Israel’s relationship to her neighbors. This poll conducted on the One Jersusalem site demonstrates this ‘antipathy’; few will remember that bef ore operation Moses and Solomon the airlift of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Iran [1949] was the largest full scale evacuation of a civilian population in human history – this aliyah; from the world’s oldest Semitic Culture set the stage for the growth and development of the fledgling state into an economic and military power. The Orwellian tenor of debate concerning terrorism and the need to ‘com bat’ it begs the proverbial question…..Be not deceived; God is not mocked – whatever a man sows, the same shall he reap. The power brokers of the ‘rich and famous’ are not interested in funny things like ‘peace’ and ‘fairness’; what they understand is power over nature and control of society for their personal profit…..this is Age Old; the love of money is the root of all evil. Who has deceived you – foolis h Galatians (from AlJazeera.net) Nuclear co-operation A White House statement on Friday said the US has agreed to help protect the resources of Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, and help it develop peaceful nuclear energy. \"The United States and Saudi Arabia have agreed to co-operate in safeguarding the kingdom's energy resources by protecting key infrastructure, enhancing Saudi border security, and meeting [its] expanding energy needs,\" the statement said. \"The US and Saudi Arabia will sign a memorandum of understanding in the area of peaceful civil nuclear energy co-operation.\" The announcement came as Bush ended a three-day trip to Israel where he vowed to oppose Iran's nuclear ambitions. Bush is likely to urge the Saudi monarch to get Opec to increase oil production. Who is kidding who - France, Saudi Arabia close to civil nuclear pact ------ Posted: 11 May 2009 0526 hrs RIYADH: France and Saudi Arabia are close to finalizing a civil nuclear cooperation pact which could lead to the sale of French atomic energy technology, French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde said on Sunday. Saudi Arabia first opened a nuclear research center in the desert military complex at Al-Suleiyel, near Al-Kharj, in 1975. Saudi Arabia reportedly offered to pay for reconstruction of the Osirak-reactor, destructed by Israel on 06 June 1981. By at least 1985 Iraqi and Saudi military and nuclear experts were co-operating closely. Saudi nuclear scientists were sent to Baghdad for months of training. In late June 1994 Muhammad Khilewi, the second-in-command of the Saudi mission to the United Nations , abandoned his UN post to join the opposition. After defecting, Mr. Khilewi, who was denied federal protection, went into hiding, fearing fo r his life. He has tried to distribute more than 10,000 documents he obtained from the Saudi Arabian Embassy.
    94. Khilewi produced documents for the London Sunday Times that supported his charge that the Saudi government had paid up to five billion dollars from the Saudi treasury for Saddam Hussein to build a nuclear weapon. Between 1985 and 1990, up to the time Saddam invaded Kuwait, the payments were made on condition that some of the bombs, should the project succeed, be transferred to the Saudi arsenal. Khilewi cache included transcripts of a secret desert meeting between Saudi and Iraqi military teams a year before the invasion of Kuwait. The transcripts depicts the Saudis funding the nuclear program and handing over specialized equipment that Iraq could not have obtained elsewhere. Perhaps this is why following the Military Defeat of Iraq’s million man army in the battle of Desert Storm in 1991 – President George Herbert Walker Bush prevent the removal of Hussein - declaring that complete victory would ‘destabilize the region’! The fear that Zionism itself has become a right wing political cause and not the spiritual blessing that it is intended to be is well founded. The Jerusalem Covenant is not about one faith but one Jerusalem – The Eternal Capital of Israel; this is biblical – this is the historic millennial moment. Tolerance of many faiths is the heritage of Jerusalem itself – through the ages; a city which Messiah himself ‘wept over’. The entire Bible – both Tenach [The Hebrew Scriptures] and Gospel warns us to beware of those who are constantly saying Peace – Peace when there is no peace. Today a decade following the Millennial Jubilees is a time which needs peace – but what is the price of it…….’the division of Jerusalem’ and it’s ‘internationalization’. To allow one’s godly works to be used for profane political purposes – this is called compromise and Moses – The Law Giver; was warned by the Lord God *YaHVeH+ about this *as it is written in Exodus+ about compromising with ‘idolatry’ when he was privileged to receive the original covenant for his people Israel. The great interfaith works of this Millennial Jubilee as wonderful works of sharing which prom ote and sustain reconciliation in diverse and difficult traditional faith-based cultures; Jewish orthodoxy is immersed in these things – today; this is a biblical sign of grace and spiritual growth. From Wikipedia: Orthodoxy is actually made up of several different groups. It includes the modern Orthodox, who have largely integrated into modern society while maintaining observance of halakhah (Jewish Law), the Chasidim, who live separately and dress distinctively (commonly, but erroneously, referred to in the media as the \"ultra-Orthodox\"), and the Yeshivas Orthodox, who are neither Chasidic nor modern. The Orthodox movements are all very similar in belief, and the differences are difficult for anyone who is not Orthodox to understand.,,,,,,It has been estimated that there are 1200 Orthodox synagogues in America today with a total of approximately 1 million members. Ever since 1967 when Israel regained her sovereignty over Jerusalem the Jewish Faith itself has been renewed in manifold ways. Two new holy days are now celebrated – Yom Yerushalayeem; to celebrate Jerusalem as the ‘eternal capital’ of the Jewish state and Yom HaShoa – day of remembrance; to sanctify the remembrance of those 6 million Jews and millions of other people as well who were killed and brutalized by the insanity known as Nazism. These sacred days have served to unite a people who were divided; to comfort those who mourn and to help keep the hope of Israel a little brighter. Messiah Yeshua is quoted in scriptures as relating: “You may say what you will about me and the Father will forgive you – but whosoever blasphemes the holy ghost will never have forgiveness [Atonement]. For those who hear what God is saying in the Bible; they will note a remarkable resemblance between the Lord of Hosts speaking in Revelations and providing prophetic reality with divine guidance and the ministry of the one whom the Gentile Churches call Jesus Christ in his outreach to the ‘lost sheep of the house of Israel’. And scripture reminds – to the Jew first and also to the Greek; as the Global Jubilee period begins to become fulfilled – God as Provider is a Global Village connected at light speed. Where the allegory of the Elysian Fields portrayed by blind Homer in the Iliad and it’s Odyssey can be seen as stewardship * caretaking] today; to care for and protect the nature world which we have been entrusted with – that which is in common to all. Chasidim and Mitnagdim – don’t forget the Amish and their Mennonite Brethren Chasid in Hebrew is grace; it was once an important spiritual movement in spiritual development – today it has become both contentious and elitist and like Catholicism ‘holier than thou’ *teaching doctrines which have no substantial scriptural or historic foundations as if they were canonical law] – and even though it’s Lubavitch Communities resisted the return to Zion and the establishment of a secular state; they maintain their preeminence as a priesthood and claim exemption from Military service based upon their beliefs; not unlike the Amish Christians – except for the question of political activism which the Amish do not practice. Religious extremism is a product of free will; the problems begin when people expect others to see and understand things in the extreme of a particular religiosity. Both Amish and Chasid are well known for their charitable work – Faith – Hope – Charity; these are the gifts of God.
    95. In the book of Revelations – the one who instructs and teaches the churches *The Lord of Hosts+ warns specifically about ‘the synagogue of Satan’ – that this synagogue is about those who ‘crept in unawares’ – who pretend to be Jews but are not – deceiving ‘many’. This situation is so prevalent that he also mentions this organization of deceit again in the message to t he church of Philadelphia. It’s spiritual leaders – ‘this fellowship of brethren’ have begun to realize the significance of the historical fact that the Ten Commandments were enumerated in Hebrew Letters; just as other Hebraic languages – because in ancient times numerals had not been adopted. This spiritual reality is often maligned and denounced by the counter-intelligence of national security organizations as ‘conspiracy theories’. The tragedy being that instead of attacking the real enemy – reprobate elites; they attack the scapegoat of history in memorial – Israel and their counterpart – the common man. The Lubavitch-Chabad –excerpts from Anti-Christmas Campaign in Kensington – or lamentations of the ba’alei teshuva And One Lonely Little Guy's Protest Of It Most people know that an attempt was made in Kensington, Maryland this year to ban the appearance of Santa Claus in the town's Christmas celebrations. What most people do not know is that this ban was part of a larger campaign which has been waged by the ultra-Jewish nationalist Lubavitcher-Chabad movement (headquartered in Montgomery County on Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda) to ban the celebration of Christmas among all non-Jews.

    96. Wickedness – the quality of being profoundly immoral or wrong Force causing harmful effects – a struggle between good and evil Malicious – intended to do grievous harm – antipathy It is written – ‘He that touches Israel touches the apple of God’s eye’. This revelation must come as quite a surprise to most of the people whom they share this planet with. Following the 2 nd World War which many people of this world (it is estimated that 100 million people lost their lives during this period) know as a time of almost unbearable sorrow – reparations for this Holocaust were negotiated on behalf of Holocaust survivors and their families by various organizations. Most of the people to whom these condolences were offered refused them – considering them unworthy of the loved ones which their memories hold fast to. Some governments however did receive the payments and used them for public works and general welfare. The holocaust was maliciously planned; when this author was a boy – almost too young to read; a book about the so-called Third Reich was publis hed by William Shirer; this book detailed the paranoid delusions of this dark shadow – it also detailed the absolute inability of investigators to actually understand how the government apparatus operated because the actual records of this upheaval were so poorly organized and impossible to understand. A generation later – this question has been answered; spiritual wickedness in high places – the rulers of the darkness of this world – this is biblical truth which exactly describes the merciless attempt to destroy the Jewish people even as the land of Israel was once again receiving them. Wiesenthal began working for the U.S. Army gathering documentation for the Nazi war crimes trials. In 1947, he and 30 other volunteers founded the Jewish Historical Documentation Center in Linz, Austria, in order to gather information for future trials. Later he opened Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna. Wiesenthal wrote The Sunflower, which describes a life-changing event he experienced when he was in the camp. (a) The question of forgiveness and it’s relationship to the truth is immutable; Yeshua said – “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”. But let us not forget another declaration from ‘the Savior’ – “the deeds of Satan have no forgiveness”. Messiah came into the world to “destroy the works of the enemy”. This is why the Holy Spirit is so important for believers. Remember that ‘the letter of the law kills’ but that God will be merciful to a ‘thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments’. Salvation is given according to the 1 st chapter of the Gospel of John – ‘also to those who believe of his name’; this must include the Jewish Faith since Yeshua is one of the seven holy spirits revealed in the Torah – Jesus himself pronounced ‘Salvation is of the Jews’ – Amen. Many believers have questioned if the present situation with Vatican City and its popes is proper or not; since for most of i ts history the Vatican has been an outspoken enemy of the Jewish faith and the restoration of Israel. Yet the spirit of reconciliation is working in the world today and some degree of healing is taking place. Messiah also has good council for this situation – ‘don’t put new wine into old bottles’……these interfaith councils and their faith based ministries are new works – it is not wise to dwell on past mistakes when attempting to change history.
    97. Israel Singer, chairman of the World Jewish Congress, says Ratzinger [the present Pope Benedict] \"was the man w ho provided the theological underpinnings for Pope John Paul II's decision to open relations with Israel. He solved the real problem that existed - the 2,000-year-old theological question. He was the one who had the keys to open that lock. In the last 20 y ears he has changed the 2,000-year history of relations between Jews and Christianity. I believe he will continue the policies of John Paul II with regard to relations with the Jews and Israel.\" Shortly after the establishment of diplomatic ties, Ratzinger visited Israel to deliver the keynote address at a Jewish-Christian conference. \"He wanted to express his personal support for Vatican-Israel relations, and for the advance of Jewish-Catholic relations,\" recalls Rosen, who chaired the event. Jubilee 2000 Zionism is a spiritual movement – it speaks of restoration and reconciliation; returning to some heritage which sustains hope through life’s calamities; and gives strength in times of trouble. Let’s keep Zion as a beacon to lighten the way of those seeking peace with god. Read the Jerusalem Covenant for yourself; l’chaim.
    98. Universalist Ethics – Mankind in the Global Village If there was a set of universal ethical principles that applied to all cultures, philosophies, faiths and professions, it would provide an invaluable framework for dialogue. Larry Colero, Crossroads Programs Inc. What is capable of bridging the gaps within the rational - irrational paradigms of psychology; while developing the relationship between commutative logic and its emotional intelligence theory? The answer is very important for the cause of gaining a perspective of the millennia that is neither trivial nor excessively ethno-centric. Ethical virtues are esteemed as ‘common good’ – their importance is emphasized in consideration of the ‘Age Old’ paradox of philosophy – how to understand the adamant principles of reason in their relationship with ‘the soul’. A very important aspect of Ethics is ‘Bioethics’ an emerging interdisciplinary field devoted to the application of ethical moral standards to Medical Practice, Bioengineering and Genetics Research and Development. It has been very effective in the ‘caretaking’ aspect of Environmental Science and Technology – here is an ethical practice advanced by the Algalita Marine Research Foundation: The definition of restoration is \"a return of something to a former, original, normal, or unimpaired condition.\" While it may be difficult if not impossible ever to be able to restore the world’s oceans to their original, normal or unimpaired condition, Algalita has established a successful restoration project that seeks to return decimated southern California kelp forests to their original condition. Algalita is working to mitigate the impacts of the built environment that take place on any be ach or coastline, the fringe between man and nature. The question of virtue is dependent upon effective use of human potentialities; empathy for rational discernment [as emotional intelligence] and an intuitive grasp of reality – making a virtuous person someone whom others can trust; looking to them for insight and leadership. The purpose of discernment is to actually comprehend what is going on; hopefully for the cause of living a meaningful life. Discernment of the Spirit is a gift/talent that provides spiritual insight - even into history itself; which from the viewpoint of the millennia is a very useful talent to have. Discernment of the spirit and what is generally referred to as 'common sense' are very closely related and at important moments - the same. Some will deny this spiritual aspect of existence; promoting instead 'it's' mentality as being 'purely physical'. Be that as it may; the difference [spiritual - physical] is sublime. And the truth of spiritual reality can be understood as GOOD in its 'true way' being divided from that which denies this ‘good’ and promotes violence. One aspect of the millennia which promotes spiritual discernment is worthy of both theological and philosophical consideration; the authentic Judeo-Christian tradition and its relevance to the continuum of human existence - especially its 'just' relations with other traditions of spiritual values.
    99. This millennial 'period' – i.e. 1992-2008; has a panoramic aspect - Jerusalem 3000 and the Millennial Jubilees of A.D. 2000 in relationship to a global celebration of history which is amazing to consider. These 'contingencies' were and are being enjoyed by a global audience *in spite of the world’s enmity+ thanks to the discreteness and privacy of the global internet and it’s World Wide Web. Are these developments merely coincidence or is this 'momentous' development a product of the desire for kinship and peace; usurping a military industrial edifice which would use this incredible power for selfishness and greed? Consider the quality of light that fiber optic networks are capable of providing; it may be appreciated as a remarkable achievement of 'momentous' importance. Disaster relief efforts and environmental monitoring efforts have greatly benefited - helping to save lives, relieve suffering and even forecast large scale geological disasters. An utterly amazing variety of scientific achievements and discoveries have also benefited from collaborative sharing and communications - helping to better organize what 'may become of them'. In terms of the millennia this can be understood as 'prophetic reality'; being shown a vision of things which 'will be' - people can prepare themselves for what must be done to counter act great calamities and work to help [being prepared] what can be done. It cannot be emphasized strongly enough – the difference between ‘prophetic reality’ and the ‘prophetic vision’ which the Holy Scriptures attains. Indeed the vision of mankind which Biblical Prophecy presents has the purpose of ‘salvation’ and that is to impart to the reader (or listener) – both God’s love and the Almighty’s Omnipresence! The relevance of the spiritual to the physical is being demonstrated for all who want to understand. In fact - providing technologic developments which make the IMMENSE Universe of Astronomic observation; that 'space' exploration is revealing - even more compelling than 'starry nights' already do! Two of which:  The Bose/Einstein Effect [Matter as 'entropic energy' waves]  The Fractal Hall Effect [information as 'geometric' - transactional] Are being demonstrated (and developed) during this period. Both 'undergird' the correspondence principle which quantum physics needs to understand for the communication of 'change'. Energy Efficiency will greatly increase because of these and associated technologic advancements as 'quantum computing' becomes a reality. Both were also first 'theoretical' insights - 'science fiction'. Theoretical Tachyon Synchrotron – Proton Therapy Sriyan Mantra

    101. Quantum Information provides a unique conceptual framework and a ‘long aw aited’ return to the original ‘vision’ of scientists which occurred during the early st ages of ‘The Golden Age of Physics’ and that is the question of ‘the vacuum’ and it’s virtuality. One long hallowed par adigm of metaphysics is ‘Dichotomy’ - which is very useful in appreciation of different viewpoints and concepts relating to the same (or similar) ‘phenomenon’. A new paradigm is ‘re-emerging’ and that is ‘Trichotomy’ where the virtuality of spacetime becomes metaphysical and therefore ‘integral’ to Reason and it’s Logic. The promise of Quantum Field Theory is being realized; in ways which m ay never have been considered – such as the true Omnipresence of Light; while other aspe cts considered in pop culture as purely science fiction are now rapidly being demonstrated (according to their actual nature and it’s adamant constraints) – with all diligence. The practical aspects of these things are equally am azing – a few of them are presented as pictures (under the fair use principle) – quantum computing; condensed m atter technologies; optical interferometry and holographic projection; nanotechnology and it’s ‘fullerene’ conceptuality; superceding the servo-mechanical Newton Principles of Classical Physics. Hol ographic Imaging IASA – EuSA LISA - European Space Agency Fermi Lab Complex How can Physics and its 'calculations' become amenable to spiritual principles? In the Gospel of John - Jesus the Messiah spoke these words to a 'Samaritan woman' who was drawing water from a well; \"God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth\". This 'insight' corresponds with what philosophic tradition; both East and West - discern as the 'Rationality of Truth' and the irrationality of deceit. The growth and development of individuals, families, communities and even worldwide cultures succeed as rational adjustments to reality and respect for the rights of others become living testaments to a 'common good'. This ethical logic is reason; being demonstrated physically [as real properties] in fractal geometry on a sub -microscopic scale. Being considered - the courage of conviction is needed in order to stand up for the truth; what is known to be right. Reason [as Logic] divides the rational from the irrational and this 'discernment' can provide 'advocacy' to the cause of justice [as True Purpose]. Universal Ethics are advanced at the millennium – providing a ‘Rational Framework’ for discourse
    102. Physicists have now confirmed that the apparently substantial stuff is actually no more than fluctuations in the quantum vacuum. The researchers simul ated the frantic acti vi ty that goes on inside protons and neutrons. These particles provi de al most all the mass of ordinary matter. Each proton (or neutron) is made of three quarks - but the indi vi dual masses of these quarks only add up to about 1% of the proton's mass. So what accounts for the rest of i t? Theory says it is created by the force that binds quarks together, called the strong nuclear force. In quantum terms, the strong force is carried by a fiel d of virtual particles called gluons, randomly poppi ng into existence and disappearing agai n. The energy of these vacuum fluctuati ons has to be i ncluded in the total mass of the proton and neutron. But it has taken decades to work out the actual numbers. The strong force is described by the equati ons of quantum chromodynamics, or QCD, which are too difficult to solve in most cases. So physicists have developed a method called lattice QCD, which models smooth space and time as a gri d of separate points. This pi xellated approach allows the complexities of the strong force to be simulated approxi mately by computer. This ‗reality‘ is presented in ‗li ving systems‘ as well – bi ochemistry teaches that a ‗proton moti ve force‘ Cellular energ y – can be represented as the ―sum of the electrical and chemical potenti als are called the electrochemical potential, which when di vi ded by nF gi ves the proton motive force .‖ Courtesy of New Scientist Uprooting Darwin's tree IN J ULY 1837, Charles Darwin had a flash of ins piration.

Ontogeny and it‘s Ontologies Molecular Biology and its Ontogeny Ribosome Celebrating the Three Domain Hypothesis - press release from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (US A) The principles have been organized into three categories for ease of use: personal, professional, and global ethics.
    103. PRINCIPLES OF PERS ONAL ETHICS Personal ethics might also be called morality, since they reflect general expectations of any person in any society, acting in any capacity. These are the principles we try to instill in our children,and expect of one another without needing to articulate the expectation or formalize it in any way. Principles of Personal Ethics include:  Concern for the well-being of others  Respect for the autonomy of others  Trustworthiness and honesty  Willing compliance with the law (with the exception of civil disobedience)  Basic justice; being fair  Refusing to take unfair advantage  Benevolence; doing good  Preventing harm PRINCIPLES OF PROFESS IONAL ETHICS Individuals acting in a professional capacity take on an additional burden of ethical responsibility. For example, professional associations have codes of ethics that prescribe required behavior within the context of a professional practice such as medicine, law, accounting, or engineering. These written codes provide rules of conduct and standards of behavior based on the principles of Professional Ethics, which include:  Impartiality; objectivity  Openness; full disclosure  Confidentiality  Due diligence/duty of care  Fidelity to professional responsibilities  Avoiding potential or apparent conflict of interest Even when not written into a code , principles of professional ethics are usually expected of people in business, employees, volunteers, elected representatives and so on. PRINCIPLES OF GLOBAL ETHICS Global ethics are the most controversial of the three categories, and the least understood. Open to wide interpretation as to how or whether they should be applied, these principles can sometimes generate emotional response and heated debate. Principles of Global Ethics include:  Global justice (as reflected in international laws)
    104.  Society before self/social responsibility  Environmental stewardship  Interdependence and responsibility for the “whole”  Reverence for place Each of us influences the world by simply existing; and it is always wise to ―think globally.‖ An added measure of accountability is placed on globally influential enterprises such as governments and transnational corporations. (Responsibility comes with power whether we accept it or not.) One of the burdens of leadership is to influence society and world affairs in a positive way. Can a person, nation or company truly be ―successful‖ while causing human suffering or irreparable environmental damage? A more modern and complete model of success also considers impact on humanity and the earth‘s ecology. CO -EXIS TENCE OF PRINCIPLES Principles can only provide guidance. There are myriad situations that will never lend themselves to an easy formula, and the principles can only be used to trigger our conscience or guide our decisions. (As stated earlier, they are also useful for ethics education.) It is important to note that principles of personal ethics are the first checkpoint in any situation, often overriding those at the professional and global levels. For example, when judging if a corporation has been socially responsible, we still need to consider principles of personal ethics as prerequisites. Contributions to charities and the like (doing good) may appear to be in the interests of society, but lose their significant if the corporation has not also taken responsibility to prevent or minimize the damage done by their core business operations. Similarly, trustworthiness is fundamental to professionalism, and so on. As well, there are many times when principles will collide with other principles. Let‘s say you are a scientist who has been coerced by a corrupt military dictatorship into designing a biological weapon. Since the project is top secret, you have a professional duty to maintain confidentiality. But if there were an opportunity to inform United Nations observers, global and personal principles would justify divulging confidential information to protect the overall good of humanity.(Compare this to selling confidential information for personal gain.) Still, the scientist is faced with a tough decision since they or their family could be harmed as a result of the whistle-blowing. This is where the principles must be viewed in the context of universality. © Crossroads Programs, Inc. www.universalthics.com Ethics and Moral Virtue – deontology Strictly, the study of duty, but in practice a particul ar view that duty is the primary moral notion, and that at least some of our duties (for example, keeping promises) do not depend on any value that may result from fulfilling them. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is probabl y the most famous deontol ogist. Also see: categorical imperative. Consequenti alists (or other teleol ogists), by contrast, base all duties on the production of val ue; they
    105. treat all duties as 'forwar d-looking'. Deontol ogists normally treat at least some duties as 'back ward-l ooking', in that their justification depends on a past event or situation, and some as neither 'forward' nor ' back ward-looking', in that their justification appeals to some abs olute rule (for example against taking life). Deontological moral systems are characterized by a focus upon adherence to independent moral rules or duties. To make the correct moral choices, we have to understand what our moral duties are and what correct rules exist to regulate those duties. When we follow our duty, we are behaving morally. When we fail to foll ow our duty, we are behaving i mmorally. Typically in any deontol ogical system, our duties, rules, and oblig ations are determined by God. Being moral is thus a matter of obeying God. Deontological moral systems typicall y stress the reasons why certai n actions are performed. Si mpl y following the correct moral rules is often not sufficient; instead, we have to have the correct moti vations. This might allow a person to not be consi dered i mmoral even though they have broken a moral rule, but only so long as they were moti vated to adhere to some correct moral duty. Nevertheless, a correct moti vati on alone is never a justification for an action in a deontological moral system and cannot be used as a basis for describing an acti on as morally correct. It is also not enough to simpl y believe that something is the correct duty to follow. Duties and obligati ons must be determined objecti vely and abs olutely, not subjecti vely. There is no room in deontological systems of subjecti ve feelings; on the contrary, most adherents condemn subjecti vism and relati vis m in all their forms. Perhaps the most significant thi ng to understand about deontological moral systems is that their moral princi ples are completely separ ated from any consequences which followi ng those princi ples might have. Thus, if you have a moral duty not to lie, then lying is al ways wrong — even if that results in harm to others. For example, you woul d be acti ng immorally if you lied to Nazis about where Jews were hi ding. The word deontolog y comes from the Greek roots deon, which means duty, and logos, which means science. Thus, deontolog y is the \"science of duty.\" Key questions which deontological ethical systems ask include:  What is my mor al duty? What are my moral obligations? How do I weigh one moral duty against another? Completion of Part One

    107. Where did Philosophy Go Wrong [or is it actually right]? By Cedric Tautin Philosophy, in the information age should be expected to bridge the widening gap between reason and morality. Often it is perceived as an academic discipline practiced only by the educated elite or colloquially as folklore. A few even consider it a useful tool for policy and decision making; yet somehow impractical for most people. Tradition has it inhabiting the airy realms of intellect and logic; at odds with the intuitive senses. Historically, it is a field that causes great controversy, in theology, mathematics and even medicine; stimulating ethical debate concerning law; truth; good and evil .......creating a moral dichotomy between the transcendental and empirical. In the \"so-called\" Modern Era; the incorporation of quasi - philosophies such as deism, nihilism, dialectic materialism and even logical positivism; into political dogmas; socio - economic theories: even legal systems: has done great damage to the ideal of objective free thought and consequently of political and social action. As a subject which espouses “wisdom\" all need be concerned. When considering the Bible, Socrates, Lao Tse, Siddhartha Gautama, Spinoza, Descartes and Hume; Kierkegaard and even Jung (to name a few ) within what we now call \"Philosophy\" - their ideas have contributed to science and art in vital and profound ways. Especially considering how ideas shape visualization. This is true throughout the world, and that is why philosophy itself has needed to expand its horizons - for spiritually and culturally discerning the development of people in their special predicaments. The need to be conscious of the great variety of human experience, yet remaining true to that unique purpose - that enigmatic ideal - which a love of wisdom must strive for. Reason must compel those in the \"global village\" to understand one another and interrelate in meaningful ways, on all levels of endeavor. This meeting of the minds has produced great good already. Man as a moral agent; to count ethics and metaphysics as meaningful; must be able first to comprehend; values; laws; and transcendent motives in order to weight correctly all alternatives in the \"politics of experience\" as R.D. Laing has put it. We must define empirically a hierarchy of moral standards; our ancestors lived in oral societies where sacred tradition and ritual ruled; in what is now considered literate - we find codified statuettes and ordinances derived from them; such that - all who belong must obey. We must become sane in the face of all adversity; in our conscious mind; that is - our own innate sense of awareness must evaluate culture and learning. Human consanguinity though is indeed an intangible being - it is written that \"man is evil - from his youth onwards - who can know it.\" Yet later in this unus ual biblical passage from Isaiah \"I am\" says - “come; let us reason together, though your sins are as scarlet yet will they be as white as snow.\" This is rational and com pelling ethos which causes us to think deeply about the circumstances of our life and our conscious actions, Likewise, the ancients - in the fragments of pre - Hellenic Greek \"philosophers\" have related - \"two things are too wonderful to understand - The harmony of the spheres and the leap of faith ( to believe ).\" Here we find no duality; the duality is deception. A classic example of this occurs in Plato's apology..... Periclean Athens where the oral tradition produced men of wisdom. Socrates professes the inner man - learning love, virtue and justice (daemonion); his trial and execution by the apocryphal court on charges of neglecting their stone gods; did in fact establish the first principal - self examination; soul searching! (Which is harmonious; especially in the eastern mystical traditions) They circle all the various schools of western philosophy in these com pelling debates. Yet also we learn from the scriptures; the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge; the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. Mercy is the first principal of wisdom. The choice of Socrates could well become the long journey of Solon. In Socrates - as well as other men - conscience discerns ........It is man's perdition to remain safe - when for the Truth he ought to die. Eastern Mysticism reflects this countenance as well; the ancient sages and prophets....namely Lao-Tzu and Siddhartha Gautama did teach \"the upward path\" they showed in their own lives - spiritual dedication and \"enlightenment\" are founded upon \"inner peace\" and did prove that holiness to God - (that is to be interpreted) separation from the way of this world) is the only way to true wisdom and understanding. Gathered in this circle we find no alienation or nausea; because we comprehend our own experience (no matter how terrible or good) as one with the living world; within the conscious mind. Even if we cannot use our senses (if blind or dumb); awareness of their presence remains; awaiting fulfillment....which ability can hold. In the modern discourse \"philosophies\" have a
    108. sense of enmity and division; even attempting to compel us to accept evil things for what those who compose them expect as the solution to society's perceived problems. This is true of so many of these so-called doctrines that we now have an ethics of the situation by which almost any action can be justified. One root of this problem is the philosophy of science; which purports that Faith and observation cannot be reconciled in the pursuit of physical law. The dogma of Lucretius the roman; (who died of consumption B.C.E. 60 – O); resulted in scholasticism; based upon the Metaphysics of Aristotle. Earth, Wind, Fire and Water - the four elements are properties....the result of causality - gases; minerals; physics and thermodynamics. Systematically defining a Philosophic moment - in which it does not seem pretentious to grasp; the tangible in relationship to intangible; producing effective insights into “scientific” issues - which is teleological (serves a purpose). The Ancients (long before the \"Athenian\" Dialogic) of Miletus did however profess a \"fifth\" Element and that is the Quintessential - what the ages termed ethereal - the aether. The millennial jubilee of AD 2000 witnesses the astronomic observation (and measurement) of DEEP SPACE where a scientific understanding known as Astrophysics’ discerns an Essential Mystery. The Universe is indeed ethereal.....only 10 percent of the Mass (as we comprehend this) is actually visible (baryonic). The essential momentum and vast dimensi onality of the vast and ‘highly’ distributed systems of galaxies (quantity unknown) accounts - 90 percent as being of so-called \"dark matter\" which - thoug h not undetected has properties which are not well understood. Yet as \"science\" attempts to \"explain\" this imbalance......they stumble at the one ethereal perception......the \"fiery\" aether of the ancients has become - the transparent and radiant one of immanent connectedness.......as transcendental metaphysics maintains; more of this.............later. It was the Greek aesthetics disguised as roman emperor worship that caused the Western world to plunge into dark ages. Yet, profoundly enough, the Hebrew Scriptures were recounting creations character - thus conscientiously motivating and directly influencing those \"aesthetic\" philosophers in a transitional age. Here we can perceive the root of a very great paradox - in the Hebrew language faith and truth (among other profound ideals and ideas) are rooted and grounded in the universal idiom - amen - which means essentially; so be it (especially in context of prayer) in prayer to ‘GOD’; ‘all but’ invisible - “but not inaudible!\"; ‘I think therefore I am’ - the tenet of Descartes; “Lord guard us from the evil impulse”; the prayer of a Jew. We intuitively discern the “rightness” of many philosophies as agreement proverbially….with “good conscience” - where conscience is the understanding of what ought to be. In the case of Philos ophy; we find the outcast - Aristotle and his beloved Pythias; founding a tradition of discourse; the \"lost\" parchments of Troas....it becomes obvious that his return to Athens and the founding of the Lyceum there (perhaps the world's first institution of \"higher\" education) was contingent upon the emotional stability of married life. This is quite obvious much later as Jung (the student of Freud) ascribes wisdom as the \"unknown Name\" of God's (as presented within the Hebrew Scriptures) WIFE (the beloved) as he presents a psycho-analytic View of the ancient Book - JOB. Our Bible (as ancient) directs reason in the same manner \"...line upon line precept upon precept...here a little ...there a little\". Eastern Cosmology likewise teaches the Intuitive \"moment\" of wisdom...being detached and unemotional....yet often bringing great joy! A holistic perception of the sentient world - Intuitive wisdom provided a framework. As the interconnected world views; the ‘lotused’ Sojourner bouncing like some child’s ball unto the surface of Mars; the immeasurable universe seems a little friendlier due to the leap of quantum physics and information science. This amazing event shines through the optical networks and all who have access can experience this wondrous event - the Martian landscape although barren was shaped ( in many places ) by liquid water. Systems Biology Research becomes the Bioethics. Even at that - these amazing accomplishments have come at such an enormous cost; as the deviant mind steals them or uses them to attack ( here we understand the need to intercede a priori ) their so - called enemies. We must remain conscious of the negative effects of our actions; even in how we present these important discoveries. When we think it so important to publish our news; then we must conscientiously shoulder the responsibility for what will inevitably come of it. The Nineteenth century - sadly - produced a panacea of \"unconscious” philosophies; whether Hegelian or existential. What we accept as wisdom and truth cannot be based upon precepts which we cannot in fact understand. Natural rights, the dichotomy of mind and spirit; our psychological malaise; and especially any
    109. metaphysical notions of time and space must begin with the classical Observer - ones conscious faculties. Philosophy has (in the guise of science) been used to play god - With many seriously tragic consequences; not the least of which are annihilating ‘Weapons’. Whether we indulge ourselves in the divine comedy or immerse our intellect in logical discourse; or base our life upon binding laws and their precepts still we ourselves are in fact conscious of choices - whether imposed or freely made. Our unconscious mind ; correctly called mentality, remains - no matter what the state of our body - even when the spirit leaves the body; even in death; it is well understood - that souls travel has yet begun. When we experience the information age of net and web, the explosive growth of computer science and the entertainment industry, it is imperative that we come to grips with this unconscious as well. The so-called Turing Test is an example of attempting to define man-made machines - as - “intelligent.\" The narrow way that courses through human experience is often on the precipice of such dilemmas. Whether in our sleep or in our upright existence - it must be clear within our understanding - what is the difference between consciousness and conscience? A contem porary example is the search for aliens and the belief in terrestrial visitors from other worlds. Neurologic psychology has shown that many of these so-called encounters have originated within the deep recesses of the mind; what) psychology calls the unconscious. Although we cannot truly understand this ‘hiddeness’ still, we comprehend the vast difference. Whether we perceive \"reality\" empirically or transcendentally - still the consciousness of ethical and moral standards deeply affect our lives, the question is...How do we honor this AWARENESS as responsibility? This is fundamental to all of humanity! The “unconscious\" conf ronts us with notions of a savage territoriality, instincts and guilt. Many within the communications fields would exploit this grey area with inconceivable tales of alien Wars. The grandfather of many modern space dramas -The Forbidden Planet - called this \"monsters from the id.\" - Yet, even though unexplained hot objects at speeds incomprehensible have appeared on star wars radar screens - the only evidence of “aliens\" is the unholy relations hip between Hollywood and the lunatic fringe. Our development of rockets and space craft - sending the Voyagers to the envelope of our solar system and beyond has yielded no evidence of other terrestrial life forms, only the signature of a great creator and his amazing handiwork. Voyager's \"message t o the universe\" - which supposedly it will deliver to these co - inhabitors of the cosmos is presented by a person of deception - one who participated in the tragic Axis failure to enslave the very world they pretentiously speak for. Light is accurately estimated to travel 5.83 TRILLION miles in an Earth Year; the Voyager's launched in 1977 have reached the ‘heliopause’ of our Sun - perhaps 5.8 billion miles in 23 years.....if the Universe (as perceived) is coming to rest......it is a good thing because apparently we could never reach it.! Have we retained the sense of awe and wonder innate to the innocent child; and as \"grownups\" - carry a responsible duty - being entrusted with their care and upbringing; and that is - to protect them from the confusion of truth and fantasy. It is obvious that . . . the Aryan concept of hero and super heroes (as in other cultures) has produced a sad legacy of disillusionment and brokenness. We must provide our heritage with a consciousness of limitations, morality and encouragement so that they can continue to live upright meaningful lives. We shall overcome is an anthem of the struggle for freedom and civil rights; it is also part of our calling as people - integrating the complex discoveries of our educational experience into systems that enhance and solve the problems of our human habitations and their relationship to the physical world, the resplendent environment that sustains us all. Ecologic concepts are well considered in any systems analysis. Perhaps the most important thing about so - called information science - actually general systems Theory - is the hierarchical nature of systems. Even the most complex cybernetic inventions of research consortiums cannot be compared in complexity to living systems; where purpose is found. Purpose produces ideals - one such ‘Bioethics Principle’ is the endangered species act that strives not only to protect rare creatures and their communities but also the ecosystems in which they have developed (Commensally)........that is: mutually interdependence – striving to add more than is taken. The need of living systems to grow and develop harmoniously in their sym biotic relations (synergistic) within.....a given environment - can be called the ‘wonder of nature’. Here - as physiologic - what Quantum Theory calls the organism - we understand that living systems (creatures) are capable of not only adaptation, regeneration and propagation but dramatic speciation to survive in changing environments. Still they
    110. confront us with the dogma of evolution in much discourse regarding natural history - yet; the foundational concepts of both geology and biology are based on Genesis; the Hebrew scriptures - particularly the ages of the earth and the Linnaean classification system. Humankind itself; the only upright order - we understand according to transcendent thought; can create their own environment and going into places depths, voids and heights that our bodies could never survive in. And in the same way we see human beings living in viable communities; adapting themselves to the harshest extremes of hot and cold; altitude, aridity and wetness enjoying the lives that mother earth provides. Is it not paradoxical that in adapting to life itself our conscious mind is in creation - of tools and ways of living (the very root of culture) which enhance this enjoyment? Even when people experience any form of injury; so-called birth defect or syndrome; Causality? Optometric medicinal therapies can design a way to retrain their mind to overcome the disability: Will Power?! In considering such a doctrine of consciousness we must consider here a great impasse. That impasse may well be the unconscious. Religions are considered as systematic; but more imposing; they rigorously define the ‘dances of our spirits in the cultures of our birth’. Yet religion itself occupies an extremely grey area in consciousness. My experience as one of the Judean - Christian tradition presents the very discrete ideas of Christ and Messiah; which althoug h functionally they mean the same thing; have their roots in completely different cultures and ways of thought! Meshiach; to pour out - the messiah - anointed one; appears to be rooted mystically in the idea of casting upon someone responsibility, leadership, and great - even supernatural power. Though they anoint Queens and Kings........ it is in a different sense; because the Jewish faith only admits to Hevenu Malkhenu - a heavenly father as king. Christ in juxtaposition comes from a relation that means to anile - or to harden - as one does with glass, metal or pottery. In harmony (anointed and anointing) these ideas can work well....... at enmity they could p roduce confusion, misunderstanding and tyranny. Jewish tradition appears divided (or is it a higher wisdom than people are unable to receive). That this same Adonai (Lord) would return glorified in a time of great trouble (as savior) to receive all those who have prepared their hearts for him.... Also to those who believe on his name. Yeshua Adonai is holy to the Jewish faith as one of the seven spirits of almighty god. The Judean doctrines of the Christian faith historically have differed quite dramatically and tragically at times from that which the Shaliacheem (Apostles) were ‘sent’ to gave; their lives as a ‘type of’ - ‘living sacrifice’ for their establishment. Two points are most obvious; Yes hua forbad his fellow citizens from trying (see the footnote at end of chapter) to make him their king..... he also rebuked the very thought of seeking revenge against those who rejected him. The Christian church has both slaughtered people in the name of the god of Israel and they also have set up clergy such as the pope to rule over them. The terrible consequences of these misconceptions are all too vivid in the European colonization of the world and the rising up of many so-called anti - Christs who reject the religion that produced them while seeking to receive gods' glory as their own. The third enigma - highly pressurized Tele - evangelism....defying the spirit that spoke as they (‘the heavenly HOST’) rejoiced in Yeshua ........Risen from his terrible crucifixion......appearing to more than 500 people - then physically ascending into heaven (ancient languages consider sky and heaven as one word - conceptually) in the presence of many witnesses. The angel (that enigmatic presence) said - “do not stand around gawking into heaven, this Yeshua they take up from among you will also return in this way.\" Yeshua himself did remind us “of the day and hour of my coming knows no man; no - not even the angels of heaven.\" He also said “with God; a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.\" .........Evangelism is justified.....extortion tactics are not. Can the intellect explain this? ; That God \"woul d make his tabernacle with man\"? \"Not by Might; nor by Power but only throug h my spirit says the Lord of Host.\" (Zechariah) As the ancients have reminded - religion seems far beyond the realm of philosophy - many try to unite (often tragically) these separate.....yet intrinsically interrelated traditions. These cults are not only a problem in western tradition but in the Orient as well. One might take this opportunity to digress, to present other religious traditions as well.
    111. They divide Buddhism itself into two schools of thought; one Buddha - Siddhartha – as a ‘young man’ did humble himself to become a godly teacher, while Gautama became, a godly teacher and holy sage who some say mistakenly allowed himself to be worshiped and is often viewed as an idol – this is also true within the ‘Roman Catholic Tradition’. Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha himself caused this division. Zen Buddhist tradition mourns the death of “the just Jesus \". A graphic difference is present today in the cultures of eastern Nepal and Tibet. The Hindu tradition is polytheistic - yet they comprehend this as a kind of divine veil through which the almost Trinitarian godhead is leading disciples in the path of life. ). Is it Polytheistic - or the revelation that man is separated from divinity?) The Aryan concepts of class and chaste would appear derived from this ‘quasi’ ascendant path. However, the estimated (4 - 14 million Indian persons of Israelis descent) have never experienced physical persecution – unlike the other cultures of the world. Native peoples of the western hemisphere (Turtle Islands) however; worship the great spirit singularly in ecologic harmony, as their creator provider. The surprising relationship between their culture's spirituality and what some would call, but true Christianity is a convergent one. This positive relationship is in spite of the enmity that a barbarous invader and occasionally savage primitives did inflict upon one another. The scales of justice tip in favor of the Indians - as their perseverance, reverence and patience will attest to. Whether they conceive the great spirit as a great benefactor or a heavenly father; the grandfather is spoken of as an honored guide to the happy home beyond the setting sun: (Six nations) the relationship is the same. One ca n consider it like the so-called aborigines; who exhibit extrasensory perception; saying there is a dream dreaming us! Yet this dream is not surreal but supernatural and spiritual.....defining a relationship between Creator (spirit) and each person. Receiving of \"god’s\" spirit (as holiness); to people of Faith is most sacred - this spirit is a person as the new covenant tells us - Adon ha Rooach. Many Indians speak of grandfather (in the spirit of their ancestors) and the circle of the people; the great mystery leaves no doubt about the worlds to come. Another dilemma, as those of a corrupt and materialistic culture attem pt to take on the mantel of the very people whom their culture has rejected; is the so-called new age movement - as the bad conscience of deceit.....within historic philosophical debate considered neither - rational or intuitive - but a false mystical way. Man as a conscious and moral agent is confronted with a bizarre mixture of the occult mysticism and Holistic medical practices gathered from various cultures and spiritual backgrounds. In the extreme sense then - this new age religious experience tends to an existential field - phenomenology - where conscious awareness - it seems - does not admit to intui tive conscience - obligating seekers to censure injustice and overcome wickedness. Duality itself is a fundamental tenet - would be proof - of many post rationalist thinkers......yet is this duality? One intuitively could question the tenets of existential phenomenology or reliance upon a Kantian universe which defies conceptuality; in which a great clockmaker has wound up the universe..... Or a Zen that does not include Taos; yin without yang - Although many aspects of these kinds of wisdom... are quite important; yet their lack of recognition of dangerous philos ophical ideas presage deep regret; Niche's Aryan nihilism; Schopenhauer’s loaded pistols; the alienation of the peasantry felt within Confucius's philosophy of family, honor and duty; social Darwinism itself - would be; questioning the integral truth of these philosophies. Because - if they confine philosophy to an arbitrary historical pers pective - based upon any ‘cultural anthromorphism’ - their understanding of philosophies effect upon human affairs (as a quality of family) will be biased and unimportant to community. Because Middle Eastern politics are so pivotal - especially in considering cultural expression; one needs to consider that Islam, one of the largest religions of this world, is in many ways an invention. We could well consider the Grape vine, the Olive tree, and the Fig Tree; as allegories - knowing from historical accounts that Mohammed, the great sage of the Koran, did present himself to the Jews of Medina (as a prophet of the Muslims - Bedouins) - the ‘crescent’ of the great Arabian desert - as one who would be a prophet. The Jews did in fact examine Mohammed but found him wanting - although congenial; their faith - would not allow them to declare him so; unlike Yeshua though he did seek revenge against Medina and the Jews – a few were lucky to escape with their lives; The Sephardic Jews (modern Hebrew proceeds directly from) did suffer from this poor relationship within \" Arabia \" even until Israel became a nation again in 1948 A.D. In 1850 B.C. - the biblical prophet Abram the Hebrew was born in Ur of Chaldeans; Yet according to Genesis - Shem (the son of Noah and this ancestor 9 generations removed) outlived him by nearly ten
    112. years! Abram became Abraham (known to many people) and was the father of many nations; including the Israelites. The so-called protag onists......Isaac and his brother Ishmael....were reconciled on the occasion of their Father Abraham's funeral (‘it is written’)....nearly 3680 years ago! It is nearly insane to imagine that there are people who historically argue violently about their \"true\" relationship as brothers. We can see today - even as it is written in the bible; the very origins of the symbolic languages of Phoenician and Hebrew are rooted in those times, long ago....... when covenants and birthright ruled the affairs of men. These traditions in great wonder; also obviously were born of men - with great contentiousness; as jealous kinsmen vied for the upper hand. We are conscious of these things still in the world today - Yet the ‘chosenness of the Jews’ has remained as well as the contentiousness of their kinsmen. Here the boundaries of the subliminal fight with the darkness of the subtle and in truth one can say no more. Yet, thankfully is only the beginning of “returning”; notwithstanding - because to effectively address these issues of philosophy and theology as well; more arguments and explanations - will need to be considered. This is especially true as we enter the information age.... artificial intelligence and robots take the stage of human development. Also, moral and ethical problems of euthanasia, abortion, genetic engineering and cloning become realities. Is conscious ness merely gods' gift of life to us, a fleeting whimsy, or a foundation that all people can relate to?

    113. In the United States today; much consists of the roots of common law; that is; tolerance. This Philosophy and intuitive foundation provided the just cause upon which liberty and human rights stand. They ‘rooted’ * grounded] the constitution that gives functional reality to its doctrines - in the societies of the endemic people - which those Quakers; Buck skinned mountain men; missionaries and settlers......did encounter and interrelate with when they came to turtle islands of the western hemisphere. The Indians; although of different lineages linguistically and culturally where in development..... a great people..... in fact the use of wampum ; to communicate and make covenants; is today seen as a fundamental element of symbolic (written) language. The Leni Lenapes; their Wallam Olum - the red record - stands as proof of an immense journey and intercultural relations; whose law of hospitality (they compel one to share with those in need) made their society much more amenable to the matriarchal cultures that they met on their long journey East. As a generalization - the people they encountered as friends or enemies followed laws of the creator - in prayer and ceremony - such as peacemaking; vision seeking; community worship and confession.... always honoring the Great Spirit; which brought harmony and serenity..... in the midst of strife. When the monarchies of the medieval western Europeans encountered their great kingdoms.....Hauntenzooyu (Inca); Mayan; Aztec (Toltec); Taligwa; Pueblo; Hawaiian; Mississippian Suns and matriarchy of the Haudenosaunees (Six Nations).... so called \"Savages\"; a terrible conflict ensued. In many cases the over wrought newcomers worked deceit in overthrowing the upright and hospitable \"India ns\" - to satisfy their Unholy hunger for gold or quench the thirst for power. Because this, was done initially as an edifice of the ‘Vatican’ *not necessarily the Roman Catholic Church] which attempted to justify many crimes and omissions according to the Jewish scriptures (people whom they had likewise attempted to disenfranchise) - their ‘wanton’ destruction of many cultures bears remembrance. Even though precious few of them did protest; yet a great movement was already underway - the ‘protestant’ reformation - and another one with it; The Spiritual Rebirth known as the ‘Churches of the B rethren’ (Catholic thereby being rightly interpreted as ‘Universal’ and neither ethnic nor cultural ......... ultimately bringing sanity to those troubled waters. The price of these changes was great for all the people. They formed precarious peace - the oral tradition of the \"Indians\" met with enlightened sufferers of Catholic and Royal persecution......if one cares to discern the idiomatic English of America. You will see this integration (the meeting of the minds). As presented, the Pythagoreans; the Buddhists and the Hebrews were well established.....when Aristotle (student of the Peripatetic (Walking) school) became the tutor of Alexander. This tradition of Logical Philosophy (discernment based upon what we call Principles of Reason - Analytic Logic) was well established before the heresy of Evolution (that higher are developed from lower forms) - (this ontologic confusion (cellular genetics and the development of Phylum’s - and their entropic habitats). Not many years later..... Paul of Tarsus preached his sermon on Mars Hill. What is this foundation? In western philos ophy concepts are implicit and deducible (from sound precepts) and the process of reason becomes operational. (Upon the human situation). Eastern Philosophy however views the apparent and considers that it is intuitive - for meditation. Historically - the Septuagint (70 elders invited - to translate the complete Tenach - the Old Testament (...alm ost 200 years before the \"rise\" of Evolution) was completed at the great library (which Rome destroyed) of Alexandria in Egypt... Here East met west and.....remarkably - Magi came to Bethlehem of Judea. As the philos ophic tradition (in a broken chain) continues, and we find Christian philosophers...... such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas; developing what Western philosophy calls scholasticism based upon the assumptions (some precepts are erroneous) of Aristotle and Roman Catholic dogma. Yet the teachings of the early church....are established as Christian Theology is perfected. Greek Philosophy survives - in spite of a violent cultural environment; people such as the \"first\" lady of philos ophy - Hypatia of Alexandria and a generation later Boethius (The Consolation of Philosophy) suffer death as the Socratic Dialogue continues......leading to a tradition of Scholarship and Learning; its greatest accomplishment was not the elitist Monastic tradition and its Latin tutelage but the Lyceum of Aristotle and his beloved Pythias. Papal Bulls (edicts which many Christians are bound to reject because they are not founded upon the scriptures) were promulgated as truth - the whole error of idolatry and emperor wors hip unfortunately well allowed to influence the church – being applied as worship. As they overcame scholastic tradition during the enlightenment and so - called \"Age of Reason\" ... great enmity had to be dealt with - intellectually - often becoming bloody Insurrection.
    114. Then as we see with the development of the Quantum Theory (during the \"G olden Age\" of Physics 1880 - 1935) - that intellect is conceptual (not material) - symbolic logic as a simplified form of integration [also known as recursion] is developed ... (IE - Boolean algebra - is one example). Yet simply using mathematics to define logical argument is not that remarkable nor is discernment of the organism as the foundational concept which defines animate and inanimate - in Reality; yes these are important developments but the essential Leap of quantum theory is that relativity as Albert Einstein formulated is applicable in reality - that the photo - electric effect; discrete quanta of energy and matter define observation and a new field overtakes classical field theory, electro - magnetism, which itself is ordinate to elemental particle and nuclear physics. Here we find the fundamental dichotomous harm ony of wave / particle and the uncertainty principle. The discrete quanta of atomic adsorption and emission which are the spectral “signatures\" of the elements....did however open up a perplexing realm of new discoveries......particle physics. Because these interacting \"nuclear\" entities - exhibit such a perfect degree of symmetry......They propose a new quantum equation...This fundamental principle is known today as PCT Transformation Invariance....the zero point spin of strangeness has exceedingly few known violations and when summarily detected (as extremely elusive violations) invariably leads to a reality before the transparent Universe came to be. If the elemental (material) universe is manifested as interacting (in harmonic resonance) strings; understanding will benefit. General systems' Theory (also called Information Science) has become the practical application of this ....incredible discovery - quantum development! Reality as Organism was the Conceptual Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead and his atheistic student Bertrand Russell under which Classical Logic becomes stagnant and reason becomes rationality (as perceived ability). The question becomes - when does Judgment require a standard or is it implicit (yet exponential)? Can the Thomistic - Aristotelian system claim an ability to judge or is it hypocritical (when weighed against the Law of Tolerance - and Free will dichotomies). If A = Union and B = Confederate which ideals can this so - called logic produce. If a large Political Entity such as the United States of American is any indication - the 2000 elections like the 1824 and 1876 before it - depict general equality under-girded by Adamant Constraints.......an election (2000) in which 100 million votes are cast (symbolmatic of the estimated population of the entire world for much of this time period); yet the \"popular\" vote is nearly equal; stability requires the election be resolved....a Constitution of General Operational Proportions requires that for a candidate to be elected.....they must submit to the decision of an \"electoral college\" in which each state entity votes (hopefully) exactly as the popular vote cast in that state. In order for a candidate to be elected theref ore - his delegation must win this second election..... Logic and Ethics.....the government cannot easily be gained nor can plurality be assumed as decisive (strategy is needed). Yet the Party that declares itself ‘winner’ is found by impartial analysis to have cheated; leaving the wronged Party aghast. Political Stability as with Ecologic Stability require the \"system\" to be uncorrupted (meaning of course....a viable environment for ecologic communities and obedience of strict election laws in the political). A checks and balance system (like the USA) is rare and unique of planet Earth....the ambitious are generally impatient for their so-called \"v olition\". The discreteness of culture and spirituality require that laws and ordinances avoid stereotyping humanities shared experiences; neither anthropologically; nor as complex hierarchies (organization). To digress a bit; consciously; this is why materialist dichotomies fail - because they cannot explain the utter complexity of the world or the life within it.... as men actually perceive - within inter-dependent systems. Yet; we still can comprehend.....a prophetic reality unfolding within the high abstractions of scientific discoveries. Why do we not find more intuitive philosophies? Is it Either - Or, as Kierkegaard has stated; existentially.....the ethics of a divine emanation that Spinoza beautif ully outlined.......the imponderable mechanics of the Mind as the Rationalists have thought.....or the oneness of divine meditation as the Oriental practice? The Transcendent - as categorical imperative - is to aim at what we admit as faithful and true (to ourselves and others). This kind of question defies complete analysis; because Purpose being consciously discerned is not necessarily tautological.........Virtue; Courage; Determination; Patience.....are defined as ‘Godly principals’ and are not the coin of the realm.... so to speak. Just as essentially.... structure and functions are organismic; we may intuitively appreciate aesthetic experiences but may not define them as a totality or they will become abstractive; knowledge produces clarity; reality is a process of
    115. relatedness. Because many of these mechanics deny the soul - even though its quite small yet discernable weight has been recorded - (when a person dies immediately their essence physically leave the body) in hospitals - Human beings are not merely obviously rational - view psychology; nor are they highly subjective - think.....of the cognizant abilities that allow us to interrelate globally - but they are sentient and all men exhibit the nobility of a soaring intellect - which as some sakemas would pray is hopefully within a Quiet Mind. Here we reach another impasse - the immortality of the Soul! Most cultures as evidenced by their words.... consider that Soul and Spirit are intrinsically -nevertheless - intangible. So - Called primitive religions believe the immortality of the soul is the union between the great Spirit and the Earth Mother; yet all tell of the battles and even wars between the Great Spirit and that Evil outcast one; spirituality is the blessing of that great and holy spirit to maintain the way of grandfather and grandm other in the counsel of the living. Even though the one who speaks with in the Hebrew Scripture is Jealous - yet he is longsuffering. Dividing righteously between soul and spirit and even the New Testaments warns us - the soul that sins (does evil) - will die. Is this a dichotomy (duality?); no; just a premonition of a judgment that many will deny. It is not man judging man; but rather the gate of eternal life - guarded as all mythological students know by mighty angels and cherubs. What is the relevance? One could only conjecture. We have a literary history - example - the Devil and Daniel Webster. Here the case of a New Hampshire farmer - whose rocky acres will yield only poor crops. He signs away his soul to the devil receiving great prosperity; when the devil comes to claim his soul, the great Barrister Webster comes to argue his case. There is a like tale of a Delaware (Lenape) prophet; in whose vision; \"the great spirit\" tells him that if the Indians make war against the colonials they will drive them - into the sea! Also that the Indians (consciously) - as ones in need of sobriety - (Conscientiously).....should limit themselves to two glasses of spirits only! In reality most of the Indians were for honorable peace and their Chiefs (especially the Leni Lenape) arg ued strenuously with the colonial regimes to stop selling and trading hard liquor to their people. In due time this outward expansion and spiritual division co - produced the tragedy we remember as “manifest destiny.\" Our conscience can transcend the Psychological defenses that will countenance self justification - all human societies (or nations) are beholding to truth. If Quantum equations indeed - denote harmony; the stretched string of frequency and amplitude; perhaps - we can also assume that ideas connote ideals. All such conceptual reasoning requires the Opus of a grand logic......... which human competence can hold onto. An example from history is - the Response of the English to the onslaught of Teutonic Nazism - where the insane usurped......the moment of history to turn the power of Quantum Physics into weapons of annihilation; the Allies fell back (retreated) from Dunkirk........their equipment left on the beaches and the streets; the unarmed citizenry (all the people) - their spirit as one - rose to make the ultimate effort (the potentials already present) ......to defeat a foe which logic will determine was impossible to resist. And those whom they destroyed as its evil intention threatened (globally) all who love freedom....even the holy (bibl ically) people themselves - do they not belong to a higher realm which all our history can hardly reach for. Because the soul, as it is written, is given honor by the Great Spirit... neither by our own volition; nor through any action of our own - it is; one could discern; his grace. (Love) What of this information science that through fiber optics and satellite communications has encircling the world. As with the special theory of relativity the old appears as a special case of the new. Hierarchical information is (supposedly) related in cross - level formal identities (Bertalanffy) which define the systems quality of transmitting information to white light ( fiber optics uses mono-chromatic (optimum efficiency) ‘modalities’. Just as \"science\" pursues a complete knowledge of the nature of matter; indeed it still eludes theoretical definition - physics (as theory) cannot be confined to formalization; if this is so of causality; then how much greater its creator. Quantum theory has changed the mechanical view of the universe so much now that Logic is organic and Ecology Vital if we sense any practical application of the \"space age\". In contemporary international scientific circles - science itself is not truly rational; note its vicious attacks upon interdisciplinary thinkers - Immanuel Velikovsky and the Creation Scientists. If their organizations identify systems then they need teleological definition as well – especially when they ‘advise’ the council of government. If we deny spirit - will man become an evolutionary abstraction - just another animal (they too are intelligent and deeply emotional). Is it quantifiable that we are alive?! Totalitarian ideals on a metaphysical level are absurd -
    116. because causal reality (with its discontinuity) hinges upon an actual occasion of experience. Responsibility, Accountability, Meaning.......... are these questions for a cybernetic machine or merely tangential to a greater selfishness? Not selflessness either; as Hillel has aptly noted; or we could never openly confront Greed, Pride and Chaos. The golden rule ... as an intuitive foundation of morals (do unto others as you would have them do unto you)....is such that by using it we can arrive meditatively and intuitively at ethical convictions. During the years of the Behaviorist School of Psychology's dictatorial reign in cold war universities - we were bombarded with.... conceptions - that Our Planet is a Spaceship (Buckminster Fuller ) - insights.....that Medium is message (Marshall McLuhan); that process is purpose - ever evolving as it is in itself - existential. We saw headlines announcing that GOD IS DEAD - that IT is here and now; the totally concrete with esoteric overtone.... become an abstract creature of animism - one's soul can only be metaphysical........... Transcendental - in incense filled rooms of lotus style meditation (quasi eastern mysticism). Our Philosophy became like charades; on the 15 levels of categorical imperatives; we had psychotherapy of the gestalt; the theater of the absurd (science fiction of today) and the turn off and turn on drop out to the flower children....a psychedelic generation - which brought the police and the psycho tropic warehousing of the mentally ill. If the medium is the message - indeed - they have misled us; no doubt; because mind - control by Paranoid governments is not new in the world. If led to believe that Western Philosophy is rational and intellectual - Logic; Reason: Metaphysics….then will Eastern philosophy be considered meditative and intuitive? The accelerated growth of Oriental Economies into the \"American” marketplace was hardly passive nor intuitive; but highly strategic and quite effective. The differences are much more cultural and linguistic - cuneiform characters being conceptually different from symbolic (phonetic) ones. Their high degree of order and greater range of intuitive elements - a good example (as convergence) of this is the syllabus of Sequoyah - provides for a more comprehensive expression of the real worl d. Wisdom teaches us.....that we need to understand these relationships in a more than superficial way. The question of mind and intellect - our cognitive abilities - consciously motivates us to understand complexity. While scholasticism does not weigh facts properly (arbitrary judgment) it does however keep soul and intellect together. The search for meaning is not semantics just as the striving for purpose is not necessarily idealism; these belong to an even higher degree of rigor. Symbolic logical Positivists - proponents of organism or organization - need to rid themselves of this faithlessness; how can they not be accounted for - what their philosophy caused, the evidence - is in - the high priests of Nazism were - the pseudo scientist and intellectual elite; which differed only in degree of arrogance ; the scope of their evil ambition. Even today they teach young people that cognition is no more than mathematical equations......Artificial intelligence is the path to the future. Yet Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) did state emphatically when asked in a recent TV interview by Barbara Walters - \"there is no such thing as artificial intelligence; the computer is a machine created by the human mind\" - when asked (as the richest man in the world today) to what did he attribute his amazing success; he said - \"to hard work and dedication ; my parents raised me to believe in God.\" Symbolic logic is positive, negative and useful.....but - we cannot pretend conscientiously to create life. We are reminded however that merely saying that our good fortune comes from \"God\"...if charity is not part of our lifestyle. Children pretend in play; will the responsible not become SANE. Undoubtedly the well-being of the conscious mind - awareness of others as they truly are... and the ability to judge whether one's actions are fitting or not (not merely socially but morally) require \"clean\" living. If modern philosophy is bent upon proving - according to a recent article in the Atlantic Monthly - that ethical principles and moral standards are biologically based; definitions of sanity likewise. Yet the transcendental empiricist looks to the wisdom of faith - the adamancy of ethical principles and moral standards - for guidance. The person Yeshua Ben David - whom the gentiles call Jesus Christ - (HaMashiach by his Jewish followers); in that part of the \"Bible\" –called the ‘bis horah’ ( or good news - GOSPEL) relates that his mother named him Yeshua - because he would save his people from their sins.......according to prophetic tradition.... he did this when he willingly laid down his life in the general enmity of Roman Idumea - his sacrifice as a type of holy sacrifice - the lamb of God . We understand today that the account of his virgin birth is historically accurate ( the one begotten of the seed of the woman - as God promised Eve in the Garden); the ovum of a human female is unique in all of nature; according to cellular biologists; in that theoretically because it is more like a seed and less like an egg - it could grow into an embryo without the sperm - mitosis (this is physically impossible though) - the son of God - as it is written.

Astronomical Clock the Garden Tomb Commemoration Found in Mediterranean Se a outside ‘D amascus Gate’ also – Pray fo r the peace of Jerusalem Respect for others “Give me a place to stand , and I will move the world.\" - Archimedes Because we know that the earth was not pre - existent - it is necessary to examine closely assumptions of unity within its domain - we have stated it, \"there is no spirit of unity but Unity of the spirit\"; is our respect for others balanced?; harmonious? We need to be keenly aware of this when we are developing educational objectives. ‘Outcome based education’ is one area (if our badly fragmented society is any indication) in which the propaganda machine of government has foisted upon our schools... all encompassing ideal; without regard to its acceptability. Intercultural Relations is a relatively new field - designed is to help solve the problems of an integrated society within a shrinking world. One aspect of this is interfaith counseling - where believing communities reach common (yet discrete) understanding. Respect for others must include recognition of their unique identities as educational objectives; this would include a significant step towards recognition of ethnic diversity. The struggle for many people is to walk uprightly in this world - not under the heel of some \"would be\" classification of their own consciousness. Regarding an individual's discernment of truth; oftentimes we can observe that enmity exists where any insinuations of superiority/inferiority exist - this is the source of much social unrest; protest and so - called lawlessness. Yet the law itself cannot be set aside for this reason. Still, in honoring this mystery of origins - the paradox of existence......society’s enigmatic circumstances will interpret how to overcome the very acknowledgement of such enmity. We can participate in the respect for others way of living; if we perceiv e them as good for them; in productive ways; without allowing the guilt of past generations to cloud our judgment. Too often one's philosophy becomes crazy or self - defeating....the only reason for living becomes the well-being of family and pride in oneself, this can be self preservation. Why do we perceive this - strictly speaking - is it because philosophy has become merely the art of manipulating numbers? The abstract relational symbolism - must be verified - for security purposes - unlike spoken languages...What this means is that machines cannot determine purpose nor discern motivation. Robots are operated by machine codes. Psychologically - consciousness becomes greatly impaired. We would do better to teach our children how to defend themselves.... Schooling them to spot and discern all types of deception - pragmatically. Metaphysics discerns First Order Logic. Relational symbolic logic is compatible with philosophic thought (reason)... the prayer of a righteous man avails much.......we do not need to get hung up on the paradoxical assertions of mathematical symbolic Logic (like beadwork). Example.....Love is blind; God is Love; Ray Charles is blind; Ray Charles is God: meaning in truth is more
    118. than syntax. But we also understand that before the android builders - no obstacle would appear too great. For this they have created \"fuzzy logic\" - (they must have been reading the early existentialists and their symbolic logic antagonists). The power of logical constructs cannot be underestimated; but the scope of their applicability can. What is the source of advancement in civilizations?; communities; individuals - according to many accounts - change. Respect for those who are different from us is the essential ground for growth as individuals and as societies.....a humble approach is warranted. If our conscious mind is troubled with cursory expectations - precluding freedom of conscience - the cultivation of effective reason and its ability to solve complicated problems; intuitively.....could become impaired. Our mathematics and arts; being rigorous, intuitive and quite analytic provide powerful and discrete antag onists for a philosophy of cybernetics (man a thinking machine) - Yet still these advancements actually belong to all people (at least those who can afford them). It can be hoped that one point is obvious to the reader (at this juncture) - whenever we encounter abstract formal properties of mind; intellect; reason and responsibility - that understanding will not be limited to the materialism of a mechanical universe or the dictates of another's limited expectations or deceptive world view. Merely overcoming \"con men\" is not nearly as important as understanding the difference between ethics – with its protocols for moral and diplomatic relationships with others; and knowing what is required of us (duty) - sufficiency. In Hebrew; the dichotomy of ethics is Madoot and Moosar where the important difference is meditation and communication (deliver/transmit). The wisdom (understanding) of measurement (observation and meditation) becomes the discipline of geometry and the concepts of why and what is sufficient empowered with ‘measures of effectiveness’. Virtue was the most important quality of Ethical Morality [and still is] for without Virtue doing Justice is impossible! The philosophic traditions of the “ancient” world countenanced this great metaphysical convergence; especially the development of science and mathematics as companion schools of learning. Moosar however is more definitive because as we consider the difference (in discernment) between what we long for (desire) and what is fitting or right [VIRTUE].......we also understand there are ways to communicate with others our dilemma which build community; and are in harmony with culture and tradition especially in their becoming. Respect for others sustains and nurtures the circle of community.....people are characterized by their governance of the way of life which sustains them [STEWARDSHIP]. The ten dimensional Universe - in (26) part Harmony Beware; lest any man spoil you throu gh Philosophies... Colossians - Ch 2 v 8 One precept of Spiritual conscious ness is that we need to think - with God - instead of against all reasonable Theology. Superstring Theory (Super symmetry) is an important example of this. Is effective intuition the evidence of a healthy mind? When reading the precepts of the great unifying concepts and their theoretical proofs in contemporary nuclear physics - One must think so! Intuition provides for the understanding - complex ideas as mental pictures - such as the speed of light in relation to all ot her physical phenomenon - as a conscious individual experience it. Yet intuitively with the observation of our immense Universe they think that C is too slow to account for its uniformity and flatness (there is no ‘intergalactic curvature’ perceptible from our vantage point - but if we look at the map of our Galaxy made by the IRIS (infrared imaging satellite) project then it is not flat at all). These insights motivate scientists to look again at the astronomic dimensions of space. These new theories are elegant and megalithic (based upon the quality of work invested into their discovery and formalization) and even account for a Universe which existed before this \"Big Bang\". Primary in this reasoning is the huge amount of \"dark matter\" present in the heretofore expanding Universe and the realization that there may be a Zero Energy State in the vast void of perpetuity. Quantum Theory's development into a Grand Unifying Theory became bogged down in the seemingly endless discovery of new and different particles - especially in the atomic \"nuclei\" - being so diverse as to defy explanations. (Kaku; 1993)
    119. Yet; the symmetry of the invisible was dramatically preserved under all forms of investigation - in such a way as to defy traditional mathematics. This grand set super symmetry - as Chews has related (1990) - could in fact be the long - hoped for explanation.....the nature of the physical world which we observe.. with all of the instruments of the imponderable quanta included; insight into the creation of Our Universe. They have theorized it intuitively by working backwards dimensionally - via these truly Super - Strings of metaphysical proportions; that the Original Universe was multi - dimensional - Super symmetry defines 10 and 26 and 8 by 8; These are hyper kinetic dimensions (unlike our traditional and ontological three and 1); that in fact - seem to define a type of totality - Past / Present / Future; bey ond the potentialities of Energy. If a Zero energy state is the fundamental modality (anti-matter and matter combining to produce this quintessential explosion) then the Almighty is the creator or its existence could never be comprehended at all. This is actually simpler to understand than it sounds - because the Classical Laws of Thermodynamics - including the New or Revised Second Law; (in general; things mix) - Conservation becomes entropy (the degree of integrity - in terms of elemental structure \" to maintain material reality) - Physical Chemistry. Even the highly discrete \"entropic limitations\" have a resolute origin in a ‘higher realm’. This is good news indeed! In fact no energy is theoretically capable of being produced on this earth which could even escape the nuclear realm, the utter sublimity of these unreachable Superstrings assure this integrity. Ong oing “neutrino\" research (at the infamous Deadwood Gold Mine - at 4,852 ft below the surface of the Black Hills) is proving that indeed they pass directly through the earth; it takes months to capture enough of these unbelievably minuscule sub-sub nuclear particles for testing (even though the capturing medium utilizes the largest subterranean tank system ever devised). The neutrino (with no charge and no mass) is generated constantly in the fusion process of the solar engine we call the sun - it is theorized (now virtually proven). Indeed the generation of mega quantities of these wave like particles would confirm the proposed dimensions of these imponderable strings (as harmonic resonance) and along with the other worldwide testing sites; point to a discrete astrophysical understanding. {Source - A&E Explorer} There is ‘theoretical evidence’ of a \"creation moment\" - a great expansion on the order of 10 to the fiftieth power before the two Universes separated - this explains the orderliness of the cosmos - especially elementally (no other proportions could have produced life as we know it). These developments according to the vision of the Einstein School of a grand unifying principal as theory.......are relevant (if Zero Energy is equated - it was not by Force). To the Biblical scholar this compelling Universal Principal would account for the strange cosmology which Yeshua himself did predict........A third of the stars......... falling out of heaven (how can a stellar object \"fall\") - will the Universe itself take on a new dimensional quality? In this same passage - he did also say - recounting - that the devil \"Satan\" fell out of heaven - \"like a lightning bolt\". One of the many problems which Superstrings has thus far been unable to integrate - the Fourth Principal Force - is gravitation! New developments from Oxford University in the investigation of the phenomenon of \"Black Holes\"- (Stephan Hawkings) Predict that these terrifying perceived threats to the fabric of Time and Space do in fact leak energy from the collapse of stellar nuclei into these mega dense spinning holes and mini - black holes are predicted. This is where the concept of pathways into a parallel universe originates. Thus, if we are actually in a ten dimensional universe......... creation in this \"false vacuum\" (the original Universe) obeys our Law of Conservation of Energy in its sudden Quantum leap to a Lower Vacuum State. If there is a celestial aberration (the devil) present in this world - that would account for Yeshua exhorting us to fear this \"enemy – the devil\". The phenomenological difference between being struck by lightening or being sucked into a black hole is that our anatomically designed insularity makes lightening deadly but not necessarily fatal; but a black hole one could never return well and whole from, not even theoretically. One rebuke for the big bangers - in light of the failure of these Super Conducting Super Colliders - SSC's which they attempted to build (so they could \"prove\" these ideas); human societies are not the toys of physicists. Many conventional scientists would consider the \"Big Bang\" as outlandish - the principals of physics; themselves forbidding (yet neutrinos do mix)........this type of speculation (Are there \"tachyons\"? ). If scientists obeyed their own \"Laws\" instead of continually writing new ones - then their own understanding and believability would become more comprehensive. The quantum corrections to General Relativity that SUPERSTRINGS represents should keep those
    120. who are dismantling weapons - formed by their predecessors’ malevolence - busy for a long time (will they ever quit making them!). Since the stars are radiant objects - primarily fusing hydrogen into helium atoms then the integrity of the universe is assured. The proposal that the Universe is broken and disorderly - magnifies our misconceptions and misunderstanding of it, the supreme arrogance of a so - called classical Observer appears to be naught! But the ignorance of a power mad atheist….it is written - \"they shall beat their swords into plowshares - their spears into pruning hooks - nation shall no more lift up sword against nation - neither shall man learn to make war any more.\" Earthrise – Apollo Fourteen Mission Mt. Ararat – Armenian Aspect
    121. Inter-Galactic Objects [Deep Space] –Hubble Space Telescope NASA A Solution Looking for a Problem! Superstring Theory is dependent upon proving th at it contains a finite Quan tum Theory of Gravity Michiko Kaku The discovery of the pi Meson reminds us not to seek problems for the hubris of evolutionary cynicism. The Soviet Union has collapsed (due to many factors) and the economy of deficit spending with it (the U.S. Government is working towards a balanced budget format – yet somehow never realizes it). The dream of international atom smashers is for the near future confined to Geneva Switzerland - the birthplace of Limnology. (The study of freshwater rivers, lakes and ponds) The assumption of ‘pretentious character’; atomic physicists carried out a scenario where they had built the shell of a machine which could generate 10 to the nineteenth power Electron Volts - why not study Lightening Bolts instead? The utter mathematical perfection of topology - thankfully - presents another means of investigation which is far less destructive. Because of the computer revolution interfacing an instrument like the scanning tunnel microscope with virtual reality it is possible graphically to see atoms - the \"size of basketballs\" and tactical manipulation (virtual HD} is perfected. Com puter enhancement of the senses.....especially something invisible - like reading a 25-Angstrom unit (with a \"nano-manipulator\") presents electrostatic maps of molecular dimensionality, These developments will totally transform analytic chemistry and are a ctually beyond.... everyone's \"science fiction\". This technology is more than theoretical - anti-matter/matter engines for space flight are being worked on (with some success} as well as redundant prototyping - this \"quantum\" technology allows the model building stage of engineering to become virtually immediate.
    122. Balloons are only faithful to strings.... the insanity of omnipotent Man - Ragnarok - \"The Gods\" belies the conceptuality that predicted a value of 5 degrees Kelvin for background radiation as.....not very different than the actual value of 3 degrees. We cannot trust human beings to investigate things which in fact cannot be known - nor to trust in disciplines which owe much of their financial well - being to an unholy relationship with the manufacturers of annihilating weapons. Unification in a world immersed in accumulating weapons systems at virtually any cost cannot be but futile; especially in consideration of the potentials which these outlays are precluding; yet even in great dispute......a United Nations committed to seeking solutions for our many problems grows in esteem (Why?). The unreality of talking about the first three minutes of the Big Bang as if we could possibly comprehend what is actually going on is enormously absurd, all we really need do is fine tune our observation of what is present to this faint echo and surely we will see (and hear) it's echo's and harmonies. Balloons are only faithful to strings - when inflated the spots appear to be moving away from each other. (On the surface at least - earth is near the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy) - (after Kaku, 1993) The exponentially of galaxies (which are considered as enveloped) could account for the gravitational component of the Super symmetrical hyper kinetics of this string theory - is it not more practical - to study the forces of nature present on this restless planet we inhabit. Not to appear contradictory; but ......hearing all the nuances of cosmology.....s ome think the earth was pre - existent (as a mega star - because of its solid core of iron and nickel; i.e. ‘cloud enclosure/ vapor canopy theory’). In 1982 and again in 1998 the planets of our solar system have \"lined up\"....All planets within 90 - 120 degrees of one another; with precessional shifts of ocean currents (El Nino phenomenon) massive earthquakes and increased volcanic activity (even though the effect has been destructive; still – it’s nowhere near the hysteria which ‘think tanks’ predict)..........if there is a gravitational component which hasn’t already been quantified (g - the acceleration due to gravity) wouldn't the dynamics of the sun itself (if gravity is the moment of angular momentum) yield the \"data\" (however discrete) sought; as is being investigated. ** Hypothetically even Albert Einstein could not believe his results - an expanding Universe (young). In fact; the ionic interaction between the powerful electric dipole (as Immanuel Velikovsky predicted - extends past the moon) and the dense (molten) core of our planet should be more than enough to prove quantum gravitation – QFT Superstrings. Is this why - proverbially - (these ‘metaphysics’; of our dynamic Solar System - measured by Kepler's Law (from Copernicus)) - the harmony of the spheres (as the ancient's predicted - is too symmetrical) - yet the earth itself....is not quite (perfect). The immense powe r of the electro - weak gravitational dynamic is the unproven part of SUPERSTRINGS - is it because of the huge gas giants - Saturn and Jupiter - which spin with such enormous velocity yet are orbiting harmonically). Could it be they may have to revise their time equations from Billions to Millions to Thousands (an Exponential shift - logistically) – equating that this ‘celestial yoyo’ could well be within the control of its propeller. If science is finding that functional perfections......can be seen within nature itself (our living world); resides in many higher dimensions of symmetry - conforming itself to every imaginable shape, altitude, microclimate and depth of oceanic abyss. The so - called chaos of planetary life - its intricate brokenness; would be by design; even as water - its prime domain - becomes less dense when frozen and it flows always to its lowest energy state; the sea. Within the ‘echelons’ of the Correspondence Principle – representation theory provides a means for “reconciling” classical physics with quantum mechanics; Grand Set Supersymmetry rules! Even Quarks come in six flavors and three primary colors. After Nambu - we understand; that - elusive Beta Function defines the strings interactions and here is the functional dichotomy - Bosons and Fermions; which rotate and interrelate in very diverse ways. Gravitons have no wave like properties detectable. (Experimentation has yielded no evidence of them) - It is conceptually possible that gravity waves are the strings themselves (well beyond the ten -12th power of uncertainty threshold). The fallacy could be - taking the isolated \"strands\" of physics; and then weaving them into a tapestry of infinite proportions. The original Quantum theory did not define these properties. Yet as they rigorously examined the theories; innovations occurred; it would appear (as noted) that angular momentum (spin) is what caused the incongruities. Incommensurability or Correspondence – this is the question.

Bosons - (0,1,2,3) g W p artic les; pi Meson; graviton; p hoton (see appendage 2) As these are one and two dimensional only.....Super symmetries as such...... exist only on paper and the Unified Field Theory ...... as such, exists only as pure mathematics. It even requires a new mathematics, which involve Grassman numbers and real numbers b + a = - b + a; and the like. Alpha and Beta are quantum wave forms of course - look out for the ‘gamma’ and’ antimatter’. Quaternions and Octoroons’ provide representation for this correspondence. Creations “Lambda Presence” VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE An international team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has created a three -dimensional map that provides the first direct look at the large-scale distribution of dark matter in the universe. This ‘quintessential’ state – rests upon what physicists have discerned as the ‘Bose Einstein’ state. The ‘quest’ for Absolute Zero – what the 19th century considered as ‘ground state’; provided the ‘classical observer’ with the realization that ‘zero degrees Kelvin – 0 K’ is actually another ‘Energy State’. Apollo Astronaut theoretical Fusion ‘dynamo’ Bose-Einstein State – BCE 2005 Walking on Moon developed by European Agency Laser in ‘interstitial’ superfluid This ‘state’ represents ‘profound incommens urability’; K theory itself recognizes this ‘infinitesimal’ integral as a first order paradigm for scientific understanding. The ‘Josephson Junction’ provided Quantum Mechanics with a practical application – the SQUID; diagramed below -
    124. SQUID Magnetometer Josephson junction - Tunneling Helium 2 - Superfluid Condensed matter physics Medical Nanotechnology MAPK/ERK pathway When Murray Gel - Mann; an Israelis, discovered that the discreteness of entropy had a Zero spin state - he called this zero spin component - strangeness......which like superconductivity is a phenomenon of the greatest practical interest. Whereas the TOE (theory of everything) posited a primordial super force with its dark matter and steady state....it did not allow for these hyper dimensional kinetic strings - spin up/spin down - within the atom itself; but the strangeness of zero allowed - conflicting data ....hundreds of elementary particles; which like the grandfathers' controversy (Einstein and Niels Bohr)........confirmed that Quantum Mechanics was not in its final form. The grand set theory of symmetry provided the mathematics needed - interacting strings. Which like the ‘phenomenon’ of a “stationary” moon; is the dynamic equilibrium of atomic structure – the moon’s rotation; in perfect harm ony with the Earth’s path around the sun – as Copernicus calculated. In this dimensional string theory time travel could only occur to another universe, even though we have now the theoretical ability to produce minuscule amounts of antimatter - at enormous cost. The legendary positron (evidence of the Tachyons?) is almost non - existent. Once again regression and progression; are basically mathematical topology....symmetrical to a greater harmony. Q.E.D. - one copy only of ourselves; QCD the ability to combine ourselves with another and produce a third. (Such a promise - grounded potential) If charge parity - is balanced - as it should be: this great mystery of conjunction and reversal; account for the Symmetry and we understand that centripetal - Kinetic Energy - is gravitational. Lightening discharges using High speed photography {A&E Networks - Explorer Program} has determined discharges during thunderstorms.....to pulse (in a branching affect). Energy
    125. actually flows (at rare moments) from the earth (ground) into the negatively ionized cloud (releasing the positive ions from the minerals themselves) although generally 90% of the electricity discharged is atmospheric - generally the immense discharges from cloud to earth (negative to positive) balancing the larger equation; Wheels within wheels; circles conforming in circuitries. An important analogy in symmetry.....is Iron and Magnesium ionization within living systems. Mg is the inorganic energizer of chlorophyll - the complex organic compound which allows plants to absorb photons ; in the daylight - being stored as Adenosine Tri - Phosphate; while at night in the dark reaction - They synthesize the ATP into carbohydrates as they absorb C02, and they release Oxygen. Because of this fundamental process - animals such as people can breathe the oxygen and stay alive - the Iron - Fe++; in hemoglobin allows oxygen molecules to be absorbed into cells which catalyzes the mitochondrion to produce ATP from sugar; which we get from eating seeds and fruit of various plants; some animals can even digest grass - another ecology associated with this symmetry. Animals of course exhale carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which plants require for their metabolism. Living systems receive photons directly - yet require darkness to grow in. Is time a problem - a causal - weird - strange.....or is the problem time’s cyclic origination in consciousness - as it is said - Those who forget history may be repeating it! We might consider the problem of right handedness and left handedness - chemical bonding; not universes. Essentially Conscientious then - this dynamic symmetry of Purpose and Meaning allows our highly charged senses to release energy messengers in balance and Harmony – known in System Biology as homeostasis. The interaction between organisms and their environment; this ecology is not only a perfect symmetry but its own unity is far greater than our understanding of it. We can only visualize living systems - biologically - environmentally. Their dimensions are our dimensions; their life processes are like our life processes; how they expiate this mutualism without loss is very close to our hearts and does not rest in any kind of satiety. If a formula for all the information stored in one Human being were written onto tablets - the universe itself could not contain it - this is the complexity. Another problem of Visionary conscious ness then is the surreal - like structures which unravel or fold up and expand or contract into enormous size; our imaginations can be like an origami artist whose Ten dimensional constructs leap into higher realms and reappear somewhere else. Can we visualize a 26 dimensional continuum of meaningful and perfectly interrelated infinite parameters; if you say yes to this question - we have a new home awaiting you on the happy farm - where life is beautiful all the time? Of course we cannot - but the interdisciplinary regimes of....Bioethics and System Biology; Geoinformatics; Astrobiology…………..begin to open up quite a few possibilities. We are not seeking to know everything but only realize that it could be there - perceptual consciousness is relatively proportional even in those who cannot see and in those who cannot hear - we exist in this world together. The Vision of John the Elder; the son of Zebedee tells of the Sixth Angel - clothed with a rainbow and upon entering the world - declares......an end to time! The visionary intelligence reported in the Bible.........manifested by this immense work….verifies the invisible realm of sub atomic physics. Space - warps due to the presence of matter and energy; the distortion of time occurs because of the unimaginable dimensions of the creation moment and its incomprehensible dynamics; Space is perfectly curved however abso rbing all duality as if time could be linear. Is the acceleration due to gravity.....the negative ionization of matter itself seeking the ground of zero potential (support)? Such is the foolish reasoning – when ‘In the Beginning’ will suffice. This potentiality as stated earlier - defined by Superstring theory; raises the question of parallel universes - positive and negative; as mirrored symmetry (non-Euclidean geometry - Riemann curvature). The gravitational wheels are flattened like an axle with a wheel - hyper space circularity - gravity becomes infinite (the Zero Energy state) forming an ‘immense’ magnetic monopole....a true multi - dimensional continuum....although only with love and God's help could we ever come to appreciate it – this ‘INTEGRAL’. One could well imagine that complexity oftentimes hides the forest through its wonderful trees........the mathematics of grand set symmetry was not well known during the \" golden age of physics \". Partial differential equations (4 part harmony) can balance \"complexity\" - If the data is discrete enough! One does not necessarily need a super cooled imaging satellite (IRIS Project - the ‘Universe’ mapped in four infrared bands) – yet; to observe the dimensionality of the Solar System - all one need do is be patient and wait until a Comet such as Hiyakawa (Passover 1996) visits and watch spellbound at the Northern Skies. Although it may seem somewhat pretentious - our equation of the balanced quantum equation works well in practice when gigahertz are being considered. If the electromagnetic moment of the
    126. earth's dipole is .00005 gauss and if the universal sub carrier frequency of 3.579545 MHZ (this sub carrier frequency of vertical and horiz ontal synch is used for every type of Television signal - even HDTV and digitally augmented NTSC) is converted to gigahertz (GHz) we can use Boltzmann's constant of 3.53 K - h/2e ( paired electrons - such as found in Type I superconductors) to add gravity to this sub carrier ... arriving at the generally accepted value of 3.58 MHZ(if Energy can be added or subtracted in this way!). Someone said \"analog technologies are the work of artists; science begins with the digital\". Is this constant of Boltzmann - the evidence for that discrete quantum (h/2e) which defines dimensional potential? The h of course is the constant of Max von Planck (whose son‘s conscience would not allow him to countenance Nazism) and e is the electron’s ‘discrete’ charge. Torah-GeoCad/Visualization International – Unity Space Station Psychology as Philosophy \"Whether we are apes by an other n ame or are just below the an gels: Fo r his p art - Dis raeli chose to stand - on the side of the angels .\" Benjamin Disraeli The consciousness of human beings is perhaps the greatest enigma of the ages; not because it is so Extremely important but because it so defines the difference between us and all other terrestrial life. Other creatures especia lly the cetaceans (whales and dolphins) have larger brains and are considered highly intelligent - they communicate in highly ordered and complex ways. In the last part of what Western civilization calls the 20 th century, we have also begun to understand that the great apes (chimpanzees; orangutans and gorillas) also have childlike intellect and have a limited capacities to learn our lang uages (like – Dr. Doolittle); they do in fact - meditate and practice simple self recrimination. The wholesale development of the relatively new interdisciplinary field of psychology in the 19 th century is responsible for much of this new understanding - they are also responsible largely for the intellectual prejudice against Creation and the quasi (dangerous) deification of SCIENCE. When the evolutionary debates first began raging - almost immediately after Darwin's Descent of the Species was published - the fledgling scientific psychology community regarded the rise of Evolutionary Science to be the star they had been waiting for; they were indeed right; for they could easily couch their lack of anatomical medicine - Neurology - in the language of Evolutionism - pretending great things....Freud, Marx, Huxley to name a very few. Today consciousness has become integrally connected philosophically with psycholog ical definitions based upon a mosaic of brain functions which people in great diversity possess, formerly – phrenology and its ‘epigenesist’ fraud masqueraded as scientific analysis (shape and size of the skull). Today alpha waves and left/right hemisphere neurology defines what is accepted as the ‘physiologic anatomy’ of consciousness. Morality and Ethics are [and were] mere sideshows to the main event - manipulation of the ‘neurologic pathways’.
    127. Ever since the Oxford debates between Wilberforce and Huxley they have tied the establishment of scientific psychology to the Evolutionary debate with intense philosophic overtones. The investigation of the elementary sensory processes.....their relationship to memory and learning provided the prime direction for this enigmatic ‘Medical’ Ontology - because the Human Mind we have discovered can be quite problematic. The great problem of psychology even today appears to be the area of human language...because of the strict grammatical rules governing the sequences of phonetic expression and the abstract and highly complex symbolic representation of concepts in root words which have many branches in consciousness. It is this esoteric aspect of language - we have words/concepts.....f or which there is no objective or material equivalent - no matter how cunning or clever our manipulation of them is. Highly reasoned analysis becomes quite vexatious when these \"words\" require the conscious mind to respond, why; because we intuitively discern them and then speak of a much higher logic than we actually possess – are able to ‘account’ for. Human reasoning can frame tautological propositions in such a way to arrive at universally true conclusions. We can switch on our TVs and watch a man put on a jet pack (or rocket belt) and actually fly like a bird (and it is not like Icarus either); perfectly on the first try. In fact this same jet pack was used on the surface of our moon in exactly that same way and has never been used (to this author’s knowledge) for evil purposes. The facts of human morality\\ethics are in such discontinuity and dis parate variance even in our multi - national world that oftentimes we are willing to destroy ourselves over them. The confusion of socio-cultural development with the ‘theory of evolution’ – psychologically; is that we discern cultural activities as a genotypic foundation for altruistic behavior, not taught by example, and that perhaps we have the propensity for altruism but this is not necessarily cultural. We speak of the evolution of human habitation as being the reason d’être for our civilizations - but as we examine the actual first true cities we see that they were in fact planned and some of them are better than the ones we have today! If we look at Moenjo - Daro in the Indus Valley we can see a design which succeeded throughout Mesa – American (Turtle Island) civilizations - notably ‘greater’ Cahokia (as well). Languages themselves have a power which would be intrinsic - Aymara - an ancient language of the Hauntenzooyu (so called Incas) can be used to translate Spanish into English at the speed of 60,000 words per minute by computer (and that was in 1996)......these of course are only rough translations and must be edited.........but because of its regularity and strict grammatical rules this amazing feat is accomplished. One of the most studied works of literature and perhaps the least comprehended is the ‘fictional’ Saga Gilgamesh - which speaks of the great deluge; this event is recorded in the oldest extant characters of Chinese (Noah’s Ark); by the phonetic Toltec’s at Tula; in the Wallam Olum of the Leni Lenape and of course the Hebrew Scriptures, yet its significance in Natural History appears almost non - existent. Gilgamesh is obviously not an authoritative history of ‘ancient times’ but a ‘song of regret’ by a person of ‘dubious integrity’ yet it is mentioned by more ‘archeologists’ than almost any other ancient artifact. Its ‘legacy’ as ‘cultural commentary’ had a ‘negative effect’ on Vishnu and his ‘Vedas’ as well. Perhaps the foremost Archeologist of the 20 th century - Dr. Albright - has concluded that based upon 25,000 historic site examinations in the Middle Eastern Theatre.....the Hebrew scriptures are true (categorically). This change is not relative; if the Woods Hole Institute on Long Island can be trusted....Science is very stubborn.... but the evidence of a global uniformity in the actually thin mud of the Atlantic and Mediterranean sea floors plus their dating of approximately 7,500 and 5,200 years respectively makes the Biblical account of natural history accurate. Psychologists forget that human history oftentimes is a direct result of the offensive character of tyrannical elites. We hear much of Ur - Nammu; which although highly cultured with talented artisans and various humane laws of just proportions - it also produced imperial War lords and abominable practices to glorify them. The bible tells us that Ur of the Chaldeans however was the birthplace of Abram the Hebrew. (Why another Ur – early migration) Jewish tradition tells that his father Terah was a sculptor and idol maker and so one fine day he smashed all the idols in his father's studio; except for one; his history afterwards is of no private interpretation. Human beings are conscious of the difference between the sacred and profane; especially considering freedom and conscience.
    128. Psychologists teach us about the Phenomenology of awareness (consciousness)……….that the conditional state for mental well being is neurologic. We learn that the process of mental illness is degenerative neurologically - they speak of the formation of neuronal groups (gestalts) as the centers of special sensory consciousness and inv estigate the rate of turnover in these gestalts relative to \"real brain events\"; reaction to drugs (medicines - we have assumed); manic depression and \"schizophrenia\"; within healthy individuals as well. Rarely does psychiatry treat the roots of a patient's bitterness and confusion; resentment and rebellion; even diagnosing catatonic depression states as nothing more than symptoms! There was a long raging debate philos ophically regarding the concentric theory of neuronal consciousness. The tenor of this debate gave rise to the theories of Dr. Benjamin Spock; along with a return to \"natural childbirth\"....ex. - the Lamaze method basically in response to various deformities caused by the use of forceps and general anesthetics used during \"forced childbirth\". It is well accepted that the physical (Encephalographic) neural activity accounts for such important observations as the stages of sleep; cognitive and sensory processes (as intricate and c omplex as they are) because....the bio - physics of the neural organ we call the brain is monitored internally.......thus maintaining homeostasis. Yet we never hear (except in works of oriental mysticism) about intuitive ability; intuitive testing or even the possession of basic social skills by these patients. The entire prescription in destructive illnesses like multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia is pharmacological. The nutrition of the brain itself - its internal healing processes - especially relating to cognitive and sensory processes is absent. Personal treatment plans specially designed for a certain individual - where are they - they certainly do not exist in the Institutional and Educational Sleep centers of Behaviorist Psychology. Say the magic word - anything goes - EVOLution! Even gestalt psychotherapy in attempting to understand a sublime change in state of consciousness....appears basically bound by threads of the unconscious. Do we have a bicameral brain as some define or do the continuous changes in the four stages of sleep define a deeper level of consciousness - within the unconscious itself? The cerebral cortex with its 10 billion cells and innumerable connections speak of an attentive respondent keeping watch over the neural Phenomenology of physiologic events - we can become quite aware of what were going through. Even if a person struck by lightning and agonizingly forgets (because of memory lose) who they really are......they are well aware that healing and recovery needs to take place - a conscious purpose may change - but the change is disconcerting. Analysis of sensitivity to changes of consciousness in the TRANSIENT \"populations\" of these discrete neuronal groups (gestalts) appear to be the keys in discerning if the bioregulatory systems of thalamus; hypothalamus and pituitary are functioning properly - if the autonomic reticular nervous system is viable. The quality of life requires; the blessed mystery of the healing process.....Systems Biology Research; more of this later.
    129. A Question of Breeding - Nature Bone of my bone ; flesh of my flesh; for this cause shall a man le ave his mother and father and c leave unto his wife. Adam Obviously breeding is both ontological (being) and developmental (Upbringing). Practically - this concept can be meanly meant or quite idealistic, yet its context; intention - is to purvey the process by which nature produces viable communities capable of adapting to all types of environment. What is colloquially termed natural selection then is undoubtedly a question of semantics only. Because Ontogeny alone; regenerates the ‘Tree of Life’. Breeding; is indicative of ‘selective procreation’ that it is basically instinct........ Species and Gender specific territoriality; in response to others....especially when considering the population ecology of groups and their communities. Is this the central process, the enigmatic engine of \"procreation\". No, mating behavior alone has a much more pers onal and highly elaborate ritual even in grazing animals (the four legged). Birds and human beings generally mate for life (there are few exceptions in the avian)). This fidelity is in fact much in deference to the only too well understood relationship between sexual maturity and violence - on all levels of ecology - except within the cell itself. Living systems are organized purposefully. Their place in the grand template of nature is internal and sel f regulating (adamant integrity) yet their relationship with other species, genera, orders and phylum are not. Ecosystems are synergistic; the sum of the whole is greater than the total of it's parts - this is due in fact to the relationships which they share with other species - symbiosis - mutualism - communities - herds - pack - groups - tribes - villages - towns and cities. If we account behavior as evolving then why is courtship so highly ritualized. When young the ability to endure pain and suffering denotes social distinction - producing stamina and courage. Psychology however would have a different (by intentional design) scheme. More and more it has begun to rely upon phenomenological concepts for its expression. The dictum of approach - avoidance has become association - dissociation; assigning choice to instinct we assume. Teleological behavior is survival; overcoming adversity its intention and cultivating relationships - discipline builds stamina and courage; oftentimes success. Is this unconscious selection - decided by upbringing...... class? Obviously upbringing and class are mutual terms pitted against time; ‘eonic’ - not just the challenge of developmental stages. What kinds of minds are there? Does the uniqueness of our Mental Ecology presents suffering as an Enigma.....which we do not want to become too familiar with - even though we are aware of it? The enigma of suffering is not \"all too familiar\". Personal (intensely) and communal (chronic) relationships help us to relate to that which is difficult or different. Rationally we divide between that which must be shared or rejected yet we discern the difference (discerning - conscious intentions) between truth and falsehood. What is the missing word? – Understanding; is this purposeful; important! Does suffering cause pain? Yes - but not always....because alleviating pain does not always cause suffering to disappear. Even if we were ingenious enough to create virtual reality and radically restructure society.... changes on a grand scale would be most sublime. You have heard the phrase - “fighting like cats and dogs\" but if you raise a puppy and a kitten together their relationship can be most serene. So here our strategy is the divide and conquers; trite but effective. Anthropology is the study of man himself - as a natural creature; while archeology is the study of civilization. These fields are not truly very different in extent.... especially about human ecology and adaptive strategies. Yet as psychological philosophy defines consciousness... we find Paleo-archeology (the study of ancient culture) and Neo anthropology - an attempt to redefine the classical concepts in modern images. Geologic evidence is that there were basically two universal floods - one of Pangaea - the other of Gondwanaland; the second as co - adjunct with the tectonic separation of the continental plates and their movement into the positions which know them as today. Paleo - anthropology will always suffer from the effects of the second flood........neo anthropology as pseudo psychology is more questionable. Our maxim is - continuously bring forth the good fruit and do not corrupt the ancient traditions which their cultures have planted. This is true of language ......ex. Aymara; this is of
    130. restoration........ex Israel; and it is also true of cultural revival...ex. American Indians. Cultural traditions (east and west) work continually to perfect application of their arts and intuitive science. Life itself is generally in need of care and nurturing. Even in cases of cultural fragmentation; like in the Eastern Woodland peoples - their long struggle to protect their sacred places from the Vulture Culture.... prying archeologists; grave robbers and souvenir hunters - the people themselves retain the vital conscious ness of spirituality even in the face of an institutional hierarchies which have not ‘retained’ a clean conscience. These ‘gods of evolution’ do indeed have vile faces when regarded in their heartless apathy towards the dispossessed people of their trust (also on other continents).....which their premature pronouncements of extinction will attest to. In fact what dictums such as ideological Marxism; nihilistic psychology (intellectual cynicism) ; the new age movement in general have in common is an arrogance of spirit - especially where questions of sacredness (cultural trust) are concerned. Not to be naive concerning the Philosophy of Deism; the occult nature of York Masonry or the bigotry of a Christian church which did nothing to prevent the holocaust of the Second World War; we understand that with grace and truth; in the legal law as well; they can overcome these \"offenses\" (loving kindness). Psychologists cite evidence from Mesopotamian culture such as Jericho and the Hula Lake cave where pre - historic communities thrived for a time.....Jaynes (the Consciousness of Consciousness) comes to the conclusion that the evidence of special reverence for the departed is evidence of the roots of hereditary rulership. {This year 1998; the oldest synagogue found came to light in this same Jericho - over 3000 year old.} However; knowing that the reverence for grandfather is much more likely to be the roots of a Patriarchal identity; it is much more likely that because of isolation (not many such communities are known) this kind of hunting and gathering community was severely limited culturally. The Western Hemisphere offers much better insight into cultural development - and cultural convergence - in the meeting of these kinds of minds; where the natural conscience met the intellectual one... forming a new kind of organization - with a balance of powers 50 autonomous states and the people all with equal representation - the reproof of history pulling down the strong holds of bigotry, slavery, and inequality. One of the ‘latent’ signs of guilt are institutions which continually profess their innocence but are constantly aligning themselves with their co-conspirators in crime. Ancient people developed the ekistical (pattern of habitation) presence which we utilize today—but they had not yet developed into manhood and womanhood - it does not seem fair to judge them as free men; though they were highly talented - it was only the beginning of their development spiritually. Psychology also has reminded us of the dichotomy (not duality) of what they call the old brain (what the bible calls a reprobate mind) and the so-called new brain. To think with causality rather than against it.... then the crux of evolutionary Psychology (Penfield; Gavarter) - an old brain occupying an indispensable substratum of neural anatomy - highly susceptible to conditioning (many people cannot be - hypnotized). They understand the new brain as the basis of freedom and self - control. One important insight that they offer is present in other cultural philosophies as well - learning itself is highly emotional; basically unconscious - Is all learning emotional - even so called \"objective\" learning? Motivational impulses elicit non - verbal actions, and emotions come from situational arousal states; so it is that as our children sit raptly in school we are motivating them to receive an education – emotionally; yet they are usually punished for expressing them. Those who succeed in the sleep factories are those who master the sublimation of their emotions while remaining conscious enough to take notes and follow instructions; very interesting. But it cannot be as simple as that. The metaphoric mind is goading us - but how can we do all that you say? They also call the old brain / new brain dichotomy...the bicameral mind - here our gestalts (imperatives) are relational (thought functions) and sublimation begins. Yet emotions are more than imperatives being generally associated with love/ hate relationships - individual people and situations. Theref ore; no new commandments were given by Messiah; only - “love one another \". The question of values and their presence or absence in the human family is not necessary imparted by good breeding alone but a constancy of loving kindness in upbringing. Love’s presence in formative years - this is immutable. Relative values are prescribed as the explanation for the ills of society - yet quantitative changes lead to qualitative leaps; as most people realize.....For societies, the need is to be in harmony with the rich diversity of its cultural traditions. The problem of evil then must be unconscious, even when wicked acts are committed - the accused (found guilty) will generally answer to some authority for their deeds. In cases where this is not true - such as the reported statement by the deceased leader of the infamous Khmer Rouge of Cambodia - that his \"conscience\"
    131. was clean (upon becoming a ‘Christian’) in regards to the government that he and his followers so ruthlessly mass murdered with unconscionable brutality (The Killing Fields). The fatal flaw of the megalomaniac is blind ambition; a thoughtless compulsion to subjugate others. Moral responsibility is the awareness of free will - if we live in a pre - determined universe; not all values are environmentally based, theref ore it is logically impossible for free will to be materially determined. A definition for truth – longs for ‘perfect understanding’; so that conscience can be ‘cleansed’. A conscientious pers on is merely someone who accepts moral responsibility for their own actions. Here the question of values is relevant. Thomas Aquinas - expected that exhortation to right action brings rewards or punishment; but that is far from the question of values. Elitists have gained legal responsibility for privileges that no one can ever earn - such as the unjust treatment which most poor people receive; judicial systems.....tend towards leniency for the wealthy (in general). The purpose of Law (being considered) is the protection of the innocent.....not the avoidance of judgment by the offender – the ‘clean’ conscience of the one who is wronged bears witness of not having provoked such transgressions – emotional support may well be necessary in the case of egregious crimes. In America; citizens are guaranteed \"swift\" justice (not plea bargaining)....or seven levels of appeal courts. Is the adversarial System of Prosecutor - defendant: res ponsible for the political abuses which our Judiciary generally suffers from ….Or merely the case of a deviant society insulating itself from just punishment and its responsibility for ‘fair’ retribution? Actually the problem of Evil is not moot because of this vicious circle of injustice. Moral conscience and its search for ethical qualities is a great but narrow way which leads hopefully to justice.... not false airs. Is the Price of Freedom......the defense of Idiots? It is not too great a step - in actuality; from scholastic materialism to dialectic materialism and the Robot theory. But wisdom has placed here a great stumbling block - the liar's paradox........In which choices, beliefs, mental acts, perceptions, convictions and even failures are all pre – determined; even part of our mental \"programming\"! If you remove free will - one's soul flies out the window - if you remove the soul - then we are all materialistically determined - if material determinism - well; we have no conscious thoughts.......or is it conscience - watch that spelling! In many educational communities today - the question of origins is considered a fallacy......Why is that? We all came from the primordial sea of course; without any ethical aptitude of any type.....the altruistic impulse and the duty to help one's fellows...is a genotypic response evolving mysteriously from; our hunting and gathering; not from our mother's breast. Charity is considered divine; we must never confuse this with any form of mystical or spiritual awakening, revival or new birth. If we define mystical as the direct intuitive perception of reality - then we respond to reality not to some pers onality. We learn in school not to trust strangers - this is very true of spiritual awakening; rebirth (of conscience - prayer) – we must avoid the cults of personality - where volition becomes subordinate to an individual and the cult itself attempts to automate the celebrant's conscious selection. The dangerous character of the occult is and has been ongoing throughout the ages of Humankind. Here is wisdom - while you are yet praying I will have already answered you (expect with patience an answer to your prayers). There is not enough evidence to justify the claim of millions of years - in the evolution of man. In fact; the fossil record is so meager and scattered that it provides little information about the mental ecology of human consciousness. If we did develop in that way.... it has a great discontinuity within the record. Presently; natural history looks at a Middle Eastern land bridge rising out of the ‘Tethys Sea’ - all ‘humanoids’ that are present in the World are scattered in micro communities subsisting in an alien environment. Did they make tools to kill Giant Baboons - did they walk throughout the world and settle small communities here and there, maybe. Did they have large numbers, with few exceptions; no - the uprig ht needs the security of community to pros per. There is simply not enough hard evidence (provoking great controversy - especially dating accuracy) to believe this snail pace theory. Also, the relative values of grave robbery and site desecration are all generally illegal; in many places - intolerable. Legitimate investigations are capable of sacredly studying ancient sites without disturbing the resting place. A recent documentary on Wolves and the whole family of Canines - the foxes as well – underscores the need to
    132. reinterpret our theories of origins. More than 400 species (types or varieties really) of domestic dog exists but there is very little genetic difference between them and their \"wild\" brothers. In fact they now believe that the ‘variegated doggy’ originated as man interrupted the juvenile development of Wolves and Foxes (spots, streaks and color differences in the juvenile) - that as these dogs habituated themselves to human society their full social development; became camouflaged and also their behavior changed. Things that we see were formed from that which does not appear. Ecologic concepts of divergence and convergence (of creatures with their environments) take on a new aspect of socio - biology.......which encompasses the “domesticated\" animals of human habitation. Perhaps this is why the Wolf has such an important place in the clan structure of so many People - the cub scouts included. Evolution from this standpoint becomes a circular argument (at best) as the path from Wolf to dog may be only a few generations; and from much evidence this evolution is just as reversibl e as \"dogs\" will return to the wild. The feline likewise exhibits these characteristics; both the cat and the dog while ordered as carnivores can adapt themselves to vegetable fare as well. In fact even the markings of the cubs (whelps) of lion and cougar are very similar. It is not surprising then this question of breeding and symbolic kinship (as metaphor) with these creatures can interrelate in profound ways - as a Border Collie does with man and sheep - for example...... or as wolves and \"Indians\" may do (the dogsled). The qualities of loyalty , watchfulness, alertness, and mental quickness (in diverse ways) are these not centered in consciousness; speaking of survival (how many times have dolphins rescued people from shark attacks). The only ecologic process that resembles \"evolution\" (if one may be so bold) is the general convergence in the systematic morphologic adaptation of all forms of life - to the oceanic environment. Its vast dimensions, salinity and extremes of hot and cold provide an insight (metaphor) for the even vaster realms of stellar space. The \"machines” which have developed in sequence with the understanding of electricity; optics; hydraulics; electronics; bio physics and physical chemistry etc. has accelerated the exploration of realms which inaccessibility required. Because of the enmity of \"nations”...they also accelerated the power of these machines.......exponentially with disastrous consequences. Millennial Polynesia Stories like the Bible Global Warming 101 The either or of Consciousness Even the trodden wo rm contrasts his own sufferin g self with the remainin g unive rse; though he h as no clear conception either of himself o r what the universe may be.

Lao Tse The Purpose of Psychology is quite separate from the one manifest in the natural order. Conscience - if such an amorphous entity can be trusted; involves sublimation of youthful conflicts; this has proven a key to success in becoming upright members of society. Western society is riddled with neuro-pathologic sleep disorders; our
    133. dependence upon alcohol, drugs and sex are the somnambulist of a weak culture. Our dreamless sleep in our self-imposed anesthesia turned addiction brings the prim ordial cha os of sensation which shadow a delirious aspect to the synoptic; the relational and sequential; and sadly to our uprightness. In Adaptation to Life, Susan George, describes a study of the best and the brig htest....found that - those young people who learn how to sublimate frustration, anger, and fear will mature in progressively healthy ways and succeed to live happy fulfilling lives. The sheer speed of our planet - in space and the quick pace of life; defeats the argument that chaos of a primordial state caused our senses to evolve. The human eye is one of the wonders of nature - its power of resolution alone is incredible. The ancient mystic traditions are steeped in the power of prayer - meditation - and joyful celebration; whether we can be adjudged SAGE or SORCERER; SAINT or SINNER; SHAMAN or CHARLATAN - it is true that Priests are steeped in ritual - theirs is not DHARANA - the fantasy of self - which is imagination - but must dwell in the dimensionality where they can experience and relate the presence of eternal truth. Just as Moses and the children of Israel when passing through the Red Sea...........sang a joyful noise to the Lord - returning eventually to their homeland....they met AMALEK - a nation on its way somewhere (probably to become the HYKSOS rulers of Ancient Eyght) - and as the Hebrews (the root meaning of AVAR means to cross over) requested to pass by their fellow Semites; It came to pass that AMALEK wanted war - it is written that as long a Moses kept his hands raised up; Israel prevailed in the battle - but when his arms fell to his sides in exhaustion Amalek prevailed (So it was that Israel’s Captains held up his arms during the prolonged fighting). We know today that upper body mobility and usage contribute greatly to longevity and heart health (along with a proper diet). The study of transcendental meditation has shown (Reickert - U. of Tubingen) that it increases the blood flow to the forearms by almost 300%. They have proven that musicians (Especially conductors and violinists) and barbers achieve longevity by the increase of oxygen to their muscles. Today; it is thought - that the human anatomy is integrated systemically such that metabolic equilibrium of all the separate organs, glands, circulatory system functions........with the autonomic, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems) defines a harmony which defies our traditional logic - discerning how to support - the healing processes. (Ex. Biorhythms and alpha waves) As mentioned previously the human ova are unique in all of nature and because that seed of the women is so important to the conscientious development of the upright we surmise the bible relates that even bef ore entering into this world our spirits were with THE FATHER. If we take a clue from environmental biology and begin to analyze a grand logic like the Linnaean System of classification or the Periodic Table of the Elements then we must wonder at the Development of Order which Nature (f ossil records included) presents. Nature herself speaks in various guises, myths, legends and folklore that continually remind us [whether by extension of the human family or symbolically as ‘caretaker’+ that nature too has been created and that we should give the glory to God the creator. No process of Living Systems (other than life itself) can produce consciousness. It must be; that is all. The question of the artist and the unconscious is highly relevant as well.
    134. Millennial Jubilee – Law of Return Jerusalem - Demographics Moab Stone – 1856 the Transfiguration The Greeks and the Hebrews The Upward Path As I delved deeper into the philosophy of Gandh i; I came to see for the first time its potency in the realm of social reform. Reverent Dr. Martin Luther King One of the greatest tragedies of civilization is the misunderstanding which one culture has for another - this malaise spans time and space in a continuum of deceit and bigotry. One of the most misunderstood ways is the Upward Path which Lao Tse walked so long ago. In the Orient we hear much of the Shinto and Buddhist traditions; they have
    135. appalled us with the Kamikazes and Emperor Worship; even though many Western \"traditions\" are worse in their aspects than the highly ordered Orientals. A perceptive interpretation of Heaven comes from the Yamabeishi tradition of Northern Japan. Here the temple is the shrine of Nature and the souls of the dearly departed ascend to the Cloud Peaks. The great mystery draws the humble seeker to the Matsui Jishu at Mt. Odono (the gate of heaven). The Yamabeishi are an ancient sect of shamans, priests and unf ortunately Sorcerers; yet primarily they have become the defenders of the sacred mountains and guides for those who seek its ascending Pathway. Here we find the quiet mind - gracefully sharing and learning the highly structured Haiku - which are actual thought poems - a Haiku quietly grasps a moment, a vision, a tradition, a time , a season...and seem so inimically connected to the Characters of the Japanese language as the rain and fog which envelope the ascending mountains. The worshipers make prayer sticks which like a most compelling Haiku seek God's intercession for the souls of their loved ones - especially children - and like the gardens of the people do approximate a miniature version of a great and quiet remembrance of those who passed before. The tem ple of the spirit is the sacred mountains where the pure waters flow. Another equally important use of prayer sticks is the Mahtehikana of the Leni Lenape. These sacred objects perform two functions - the first is to record the long and great history of the journey of the Leni Lenape - from Central Asia across the Bering Strait - the lands of Canada and the USA; to their homeland along the Lenape (Delaware) River and the Atlantic coast. The second is to tell the story of creation in the Big House Ceremony. Their use of Wampum - Keokuk....is Suhunikan - to make agreements a permanent record; semantically - the precursor to written language. The Chinese knew them as the Turtle people; the Olumpee'yok of the Wallam Olum (Red Record of the Mahtehikana) is perhaps one of the oldest on earth. The Lenapes themselves are considered to be the grandfathers of many people. This is why one should become quiet when Grandfather is spoken of. Much has already been written of the diametrically opposed traditions of native people and industrialized society - their honor for Mother Earth and the Sky Father. The ways of the spirit are far from lost in the vast expanses of the mountain kingdom s and vast deserts of our world and their conscious ness is most important as well. Is the mind our key to universal understanding? Obviously they litter history with the dead of those who tried to control the emotions (with all their subconscious overtones) with intellect. Only when there is harmony can man intuitively perceive what emotions might be capable of. Self-willed individuals can become slaves to the incredulous......v ogues; crazes; lotteries; fashion in art; music; literature; sporting competition - in short; having fun. Yet with craft and guile the wicked work their ill will - this is the danger. Those who do not exercise their conscience as free will.....are exploited by petty tyrants. Our economy needs to be not only practical but also realistic. Intuition tells us that habits are made that can withstand superstition and coincidence. Thus we are not greatly moved by inexplicable or Irreverent schemes of those who work deceit. According to J.C. Penny (who founded the retail stores which carry his name)....\"the spiritual meaning of business....is the ability to apply idealistic values in the real world ......for success.\" Even after the crash of the stock market in 1929 wiped him out financially (along with other godly sorrows).... due to rel iance on stock holdings as personal wealth.....his pers onal integrity caused him to repay all of the creditors of his retail empire....bankrupting him. Yet in the midst of all his personal calamities - he witnessed...a spontaneous healing of his broken psyche.......God will take care of you.\" The Golden Rule Stores of the humble clerk turned entrepreneur survives - 100 years later. Logic and reason are very excellent tools if applied properly and if your life - gives you no joy....... then seek to change it for what can make you glad. A great sage sought wisdom; he sent his ambassador to all the kingdoms where his feet could lead him - there he inquired of one and all; what is wisdom? After a very long journey this scholar returned to his master - \"Well; servant - tell me what you have learned.\" \"Carrots;\" the ambassador said. This story is an example of the metaphoric (intuitive) philosophy of the Orient. Carrots - like; Carrots - get. In fact intuitive reasoning is often metaphoric; of
    136. itself and one thing we know about Yes hua HaMashiach - he loved to tell parables. Mayan/Aztec Clock Movie from Jerusalem One Reed – Cortes/Montezuma In Defense of higher consciousness - or - how to avoid the downfall of tyrants! Once again when we look at the \"ancients\" we come to understand that there is a basic relationship between - primitive - domesticated - sophisticated - such that argument with such ‘authorities’ could become extremely dangerous. The holistic integration of learning in early childhood becomes the awe and wonder of living (relating to ones habitation). Even if they emphasize rote or imitative learning processes - children still learn in this way. The older definition of system - the rout and template - called appropriately....the fabric of childhood development - utilizes the rich textures of ‘cognitive’ design to speak intuitively (metaphor and allegory; axiom and adage) to the growing awareness (conscious ness) - of the creature.... with the prolonged childhood. Neurologic terms such as sublimation are used to relate that aesthetic learning is basically an intuitive process - the Surrealist/ cubist/Dadaist rebellion of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century believed that art itself comes from the unconscious and subconsciously we can break down misanthropic convention to find a better way. Once again Capacity / Intensity are co - adjunctive systems parameters which speak to our innate limitations. Is ‘conceptuality’ a cognitive (thought based) process like intuition - its appraisal within such sacred domains - would seem to limit the possibility of \"true objectivity\". Perception becomes an almost mystical experience....because of the great moments of experience and learning (which arts and letters actually consist of). Here we find the arbitrary division of natural/unnatural and the classical idea that determination is perceptual not conscious - that determinism and its environmental basis are ought but supernatural. In other words there are viable communities of people who only perceive the ever-present now! They exist in oneness with their habitat yet are victims of a type of epistemological uncertainty. The Sanskrit language itself has over twenty words to desc ribe consciousness - as the Eskimo have 100 words for snow. The idea becomes conceptual...MEMORY (the left - right dichotomy) in psychological analysis - long after the dominant left brain has forgotten it (temporality of logical
    137. cognitions)....Because the intuitive right brain will retain them! Is man a mere lump of Clay? Subject we Object - searching for the physical basis of consciousness as (Susan Hurley and Susan Greenfield) have presented - in an exercise of ‘wedding’ philosophy and neuroscience; producing mind waves (without them we could become immobile)....With signs of true understanding. If the problem of the self is actually - the person (Identity) then what is the purpose of psychobiology? If consciousness is merely dependent upon the brain's activity then it defies psychological interpretation and is merely an object of medical research. As the Orientals have discerned; we have been wearing blinders...everyone who is actually cognizant knows that consciousness grows as the brain does (yet infants have much larger brains proportionately than they will in later life) - consciousness grows with experience. When we consider that psychology is speaking of brain chemistry and its electro motive centers when they denote \"the phenomenological basis of consciousness\" - the attempt to correlate functional performance will yield only symmetry - like cathexion and cognition - integrally related but not the same thing. The problems of higher consciousness, meditation; precognition; extra sensory perception and even the problematic clairvoyance - have to relate to the inimitable conscience which experiences them, even if the experience itself is highly abstract (ethereal). This is why many aspects of these experiences are forbidden in the books of Moses - the Holy Torah - and also why they are held in great dispute among spiritually discerning people - Is it the idea of Responsibility? Perhaps the greater part of humankind is just not ready for such a testing - \"obedience is better than sacrifice\". It is written - \"trust not angels nor in the son of man in whom there is no help - but trust only in the God of Heaven who is the God of truth\". The gifts of the Holy Spirit - Patience, Goodness, Tongues and their Interpretation, Knowledge, Wisdom and Godliness are ‘Virtues’ relating to \"prayer and meditation\". Neurologic psychology can theorize that perception itself is not a conscious action but innate - almost subconscious - but Physics and the Bible evidently agree that God is light (he dwells in unapproachable light) and oftentimes feelings of bliss and oneness in meditation - whether walking or sitting; dreaming or waking - are experienced as - \"bathed\" in pure light. Why is the sky blue and the sunset red - why is the universe utterly dark (save for the ‘innumerable’ stars)? These are questions which science understands quite well. Love however is transcendent in consciousness. Strength, heart and soul must work together; thought, soul and spirit – ‘one’ if true love will succeed. This may seem like a rather strange conclusion yet as the Greeks have discerned - the AGAPE is an all encompassing love such as the Great Spirit (God if you will) has for us; PHILOS is the love that brothers and sisters and friends have for one another and EROS is materialistic love - with the fleshly overtones. The sacrament of marriage elevates EROS to a responsible relationship with the giver of life uniting ALL in ALL. We know the romance of thoug hts, feelings, dreams, memories, attentions, intentions and even imagination but we also know that aggression and violence are connected to an improper reliance upon sexual gratification. In mortal combat we understand that control of aggression is the proper training to defend oneself - even to kill. Violence however is a much greater malaise and must be confronted with authority. The sublimation of EROS is an important factor in mature stabile individuals. Children often learn violence from others - the environmental influences bring to fore, the Nature vs. Nurture controversy - where brokenness in societies, families and even within the individual often produces an enmity and alienation in which the struggle for existence becomes mortal combat. It is not the question of wild and savage vs. Peaceful and civilized... this is a fallacy; but it is the argument of essential decency vs. depravity. In every generation they remind the young people of these things - how appalling are the young today - how spiritual values are becoming corroded - can’t YOU put your faith in spiritual values!. In the ever - present now we understand that man himself is becoming more crude and materialistic - yet faith in spiritual values has never ceased; what we need to guard against is spiritual wickedness in high places; The rulers of the dark ness of this world; if we learn who to defend ourselves against our lives could well turn out better. Now we have reached some understanding in this discourse - Happiness does not have to be an illusion; religion and philosophy are actually rooted in oneness; that elusive bird - the meaning of life - can be our purposeful intention and if we believe that God truly exists - according to his Will. Do we need to search for Absolutes? One might
    138. ask.........this work with a favorable wind is already obviously long begun......what is it worth? ......to oneself and to others.......absolutes can become fallible.......yet the time-honored measure.......By their fruits. Ye shall know them! How can we search for Harmony? We need to understand.....that elusive unifying principal......its power of persuasion produces peace ..........moral education? Home, school and worship......Yet the seeming arbitrary differences in individual purposes.......appear as a poor reflection of what people – cultures; really holds on to sincerely......is an exercise in semantic expression too. Genius is found in all arts and sciences, every people, every culture, every way of understanding; everywhere love, mercy and compassion inhibit the hate, the madness, the evil - and even if we glory only in cultural achievements - they have their criteria for judgment - truth, goodness and beauty - and even Nature herself is in great diversity one, a purpose, a consciousness apart. There is an absurd; yet inimical quality to philosophic consciousness - that would be humor - but is not; why? It is well understood throughout the world that the intuitive grasp has produced the great discoveries; Kepler, Mikado, Einstein, Newton; all pictured their great theories as metaphor - the parable. Another kind of mind appears as soliloquies - the bicameral - which solipsism appears as the downfall of. Here we see people who can talk intelligently about the proverbial tree in the prim ordial forest falling, or like the cat in the poison box - Schrödinger and Heisenberg - cannot discern the difference between artificial and ‘the real world’. Intellect is not an existential discovery; nor is it a quality of observation but is of being. If Dr. Einstein was openly contemptuous of the probability equations of quantum mechanics - feeling it was an unlikely gamble with objective reality; can one perceive that psychology based upon neurologic functions alone is equally absurd. Solipsism itself - belief in the self alone - also defines a great fallacy - if life is a dream of the dreamer alone - then why is it so true as it is written – your young men shall see visions and you r old men shall dream d reams - before the great and terrible d ay of the Lord. Joel The quality of our senses - especially in relation to consciousness - is it not unbelievable.....Information theory itself has provided the fiber optics and the computational systems to insure the integrity of transmission throug h extremely discrete sampling technology. These systems are merely servo - mechanical electronics - yet their design utilizes the principals which we discern in our own being. It is written - Line upon Line; precept upon precept; here a little; there a little. To conclude that life itself is totally separate from these types of systems is just and true; living systems are like no others; their purpose is within them - ecologic awareness and environmental concerns have created a whole new consciousness of the warmth and affection; the true intelligence of so called wild creatures. This is also foretold in the Book of the Hopi - as they relate their vision of the Four Worlds. Spinoza intuited this wonderful thought - Because I am one with my habitat - I am able to perceive God. The spiritual conflicts of Spinoza peculiarly resembles our own - the casual dependence of all phenomenon. Those who challenge the elitists' world order\" are still paying \"the price\" for their enlightenment. Science has a barren attitude about it - Lifeless - austere - abandoned; philosophy appears as a refuge - yet there is a burglar in the House - evolutionary psychology. Conscientious being is spirituality - not just ritualized behavior. These principal debates - Free will / determinism; Science/Epistemology; Teleology /psychology....like the three laws of classical mechanics....Inertia, momentum and gravity - seem destined with the deterministic universe to be absorbed into a higher order of definition and understanding. Still in light of the empirical/transcendental debate yet raging it is obvious that these \"laws\" will always provide the basis of our understanding physical \"Phenomenon\" - just as the thoughts and ways of our ancestors influence our very reasoning. When dealing with the question of consciousness - the much maligned Tubule Rasa (or blank slate) - pragmatically is more important than any type of a priori determinism. If we are looking for mathematical precision and a fate that is not sealed in heaven or hell - even as evolutionists like Aldus Huxley have proposed – then; the conscious mind of mortal men is not the place to look. Because when the burgeoning SUPERSTRINGS theory hits its stride - there will be only the seals of the conscientious left to bind ‘the ETHICS’. A theory of everything as far as those ideologies of political power will concern themselves with it - will only lead to further complications. The moment defined by the constant of Planck and the fundamental misperception of entropy in the classical industrialized western European nations have defined a timely shift in the balance of powers toward the east. Unfortunately they are engulfed in humanity and its very great ills........even in the Logical Positivists we discern –
    139. consignment of the great clockmaker to an early retirement. As defined; science has separated ‘itself’ from FAITH historically - some have attempted to bring the two back together - Mircea Eliade; the Science of Spirit - Huston Smith (interfaith understanding) and mystics like Alan Watts. A shaman might say for instance - that in his culture -\" there is no difference between a man and a thoug ht\" Even as discernment of truth is made; obviously one's thoughts might not be true - but that does not make me useless; merely mistaken. Thinking in harmony with creation becomes a miracle in itself and we will learn much from it. If spirit were scientifically discerned we would not need to pray or meditate - but the actual observation of the states of consciousness tell us that our spirit; resides within our body...and forms (consists of) our being - that sublimation o f consciousness remarkably; is meditation - although many do not practice it; the Messianic faith called Christianity te aches us to - \"pray without ceasing\" - and to meditate on God's word! Sounds a lot like so called Eastern Mysticism. We define science by degrees - discreteness of the quanta - the uncertainty of measurement; sub atomic realms - the problem of stability and instability within atomic structure - (only 100 stabile elements exist)..... QED/QCD Super sy mmetrical Grand set functions held together by invisible SUPERSTRINGS - sounds mystical - almost. It is hoped that th is is perceived as a rather uplifting idea - the world of emanation which the SUPERSTRINGS Theory alludes to - in rel ation to who we are and to what we are. Is Soul and Spirit the true dichotomy of consciousness? blue whales aurora borealis Shroud Shepherds’ cardinals Mayan Book Environmental Awareness - Ecologic Consciousness Just as politics preys upon human nature by promising change and producing only nepotistic patronizing and ideologue monoculture - the so called class structure of society produces regimentation. This is not criticism per say but merely an observation. Men who consider themselves pragmatic tend to scoff at the metaphysical and so dismiss the supernatural. A good example of this is the American Revolution. Supposedly its purpose was to end monarchies' tyranny and produce a democratic society. However; the deficiencies of the Anti - Bellum Republic that it produced – were so hypocritical to maintaining domestic tranquility - that change became inherent for its growth and development. The spiritual vacuum of the 20 th century still reels from the effects of Jacksonian democracy (It’s Imperial Presidency); the tragedy of Haitian fascism; and even its brave founder and first President became known as Honodagayas (the destroyer of Villages) to many people - who are still recovering from its effects. The need for enlightened Justice; reconciliation and restoration are important now as ever. The politics of the Republican Democrat Party (although separated into two distinct entities are still basically the same); have always used clever phrases and slogans - the Great Society and Civil Rights - when good comes of these programs characteristically; less than the vision proposed because the political bureaucracy ‘subtly’ changes them to serve the ‘status quo’. Political ideology is ‘inherently’ cultural….what actually has been going on – is criminal. Roman imperialism died in its tyrannical shame long ago due to the sacrifices of those despised Christians who died so that men could love one another - in the goodness of free will - Spiritually. Yet because the tenets of religion forbid hate.... it is said \"We serve a merciful God (some even ask... Why?)\". The wedding between a fledgling (and anti-Semitic) catholic church and corrupt Roman Aristocracy was anything but free (read Foxes book of Martyrs) - this relationship continues unabated - even the great schism of catholic and orthodox weakened the crusades into the
    140. middle east - until the Enlightenment and Reformation reached England. As the greedy Monarchies sought to gobble up lands in the Western Hemisphere enslaving its people also; their wars for domination became more and more vicious - and widespread - the Age of Revolutions began. Those who were not a people grabbed hold of any rational ideology that served their purpose; and the cause of freedom was corrupted. They were fond of the wisdom they perceived in Nature and Nature's God - and because the God of the Christian and Jewish Faith scorned human nature and condemned their abominable sins; they sought a more convenient one and that was Deism. How easy it became for the rationalist to walk from their churches into Masonic Temples. How easily the conspirators of Vandalia divided up the continent and dispossessed the Indians of any land at all. The onset of Industrialization already - begun - brought with it the apologists and the strict disciplinarians; Romanticism was gone and the Economics of Adam Smith and the philosophy of Rousseau moved in - yet pure logistics would pull it all apart. The a priori tenets of scholastic pedagogies - did not base fundamental truths and intuitive faculties [VIRTUE] on experience; therefore challenges from existential data were not excepted. The rule became that Philosophy must stand on fundamentally valid models and ideology based in human psychology - the birth of Evolution. Goethe, Schiller, Holderlin, Marx and Engel, Hegel, Feuerbach, Mills and his Utilitarian apologetics all erupted out of this caldron of confusion - what was on another day called \"hasty pudding\". Aristocrat , Scholar, Bohemian, Peasants and of course SLAVES - the false dichotomy of noble savage and ‘civilized’ man in these troubled minds became psychological materialism, socialism and communism - juxtaposed with what could be reasoned as ‘a cry for liberty’. What proof or justification for \"evolutionary\" systems was given - necessity of course? These diametrically opposed courses - communism and capitalism/ socialism both suffer from the psychology of evolution, but they are fatally simplistic. The very i dea of creating more hostility....as some type of classification scheme......like stereotyping of ethnic character; for example - Asiatic fatalism; evidences lack of understanding. This idea is intuitive - character is not associative - but matures as people grow in reflective freedom - God is not the opiate of the masses - or an evolutionary corollary to human potential - but a Great and Holy Spirit who is a friend to the friendless and father to the fatherless. Commensality is an ecologic principal which is also ideal (metaphysical) - agricultural communities; Labor unions; councils of villages and clan leaders......representative democracy - in a harmonic balance with their environment. Commensality is also a principle of correspondence – in which traditional viewpoints are translated [or not] to new ones; ecology provides ‘the mosaic effect’ whereby communities can ‘flow’ together in ecosystems over long periods of time. But a system which tries to exploit alienation by way of fundamental changes in societal family structure....produces only population explosion; fear and degradation (from tyrannizing their enemies) and ultimately economic collapse due to the fundamental hypocrisy - of being even worse than the system (and the people) they hoped to overcome. The anger and hurt of exploitation, racial prejudice and religious hypocrisy has helped produce an educational system of libertarian morality....masquerading as “higher consciousness\" trying to use aesthetic justification for the \"bad conscience\" of strife and hatred. The purpose of moral allegory in traditional education.......The New England Primer; Pilgrim's Progress.... as two examples..... Stimulated spiritual awareness in the educational adventure, use of Archetypes in human character (especially - ethnic identity) was summarily effective. Ex. Uncle Tom's Cabin (Harriet Beecher Stowe) Buddha in a Box.......Alexander Solzenheitzen's metaphor of a prisoner's moment of conscience......Is a fitting epitat for the dissolution of the Soviet Union's totalitarian influence; especially in consideration of the courage of the Slavic peoples (in \"good\" conscience) to overthrow a military dictatorship. This is true of South African (changed also in a democratic fashion). Gorbachev and Yeltsin accomplished this with glasnost (openness and freedom of disclosure) and by rallying the people themselves to rebuke the military coups designed to re-enslave them. Each nation experienced a rebirth of freedom and brotherhood - Hungary, Romania; Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Poland - in such unity that one is in awe of; what people are all about. South Africa is becoming a beacon to all those who still suffer the indignation of racial violence and persecution; all this as the 1 st Jubilee of the modern state of Israel arrives; throug h the wisdom of faith - conscience is daring to believe! The Solidarity movement of battered labor unions within the expanse of the former Soviet Bloc hastened its downfall in spite of the ‘artificial’ Cold War. Laissez-faire capitalism also has no excuse, the conscientious in these \"democracies\" (often regress into petty tyrannies) are held in little esteem; yet the altruistic are - charity works in an
    141. environment of free enterprise and does great things when the volunteers show up. The downfall of capitalism is always greed - the assumed alienation in the police states of America; when the red curtain finally fell - our economy was unable to respond with power; because we had exploited the enmity caused by raising the Iron Curtain to such a degree that our national debt forbade us the freedom to act on the scale necessary to bring change. Many questions come to mind - Why are liberation theologies apparently atheistic? Why do Marxist and Freudian doctri nes seem so intimately linked (save for Jungian outcomes for Freud)? Yet Sigmund Freud as most if not all European Jewry was only spared the death camps due to the intercession of his colleagues – as with other academics and scientists; he was spared (allowed to flee with his wife and daughters) while his entire family was murdered. The grace of god be with all who suffer from such enigmas. If there is guilt within the Jewish communities of Europe for the holocaust itself – it is the collaboration within the ‘International Banking Cartel’ who ‘aided and abetted’ the rise of the German War Machines (with U.S.A. Federal Reserve backing) while silencing the alarm amongst the ersatz Jewish communities who were as scripture reminds ‘lead as sheep to the slaughter and before their shearers were dumb.’ This is the criminal deed which ‘shall never be forgotten’ – ‘the deeds of Satan have never forgiveness’; as it is written. Why do we believe that it can be externally determined - by the process of Socialization - what has always been perceived as ineffective and exploitative.......in fact (upon reflection) - incomprehensible to its victims. Does the right of freedom only belong to those who are free? The appropriate and just Civil Rights Movement of the 20 th century is a very good example of such a struggle. Yet the institutionalized demagoguery of aristocratic Catholicism (Protestants too claim to be a Catholic Church) - just not the one of tyrannical Rome) suffers a slow death in the \"Free World\". One of the primary causes is the paranoid psychology of determinism. Behavioral Science (remember the canines of Pavlov) with its reward and punishment dictum was not unlike what Orwell had predicted in 1984 (yet in a much more fragmented state). If the U.S.A. has a Marx then it has to be B.F. Skinner and his Beyond Freedom and Dignity. It is an absurd mentality, no doubt - that rodents in mazes translate to multi - talented and motivated human beings in a resplendent environment. The first dogmatic statement of this treatise (book) - \"historical determinism denies or depreciates human initiative, individuality, and inspiration; in its genius and transcendental quality – it is the enemy of Free Will.\" This dogma is immediately challengeable because human beings often choose initiatives that deny others the very rights they espouse. If philosophy does possess the golden string of reason - it is a Gossamer thread - and like the Gossamer Condor (a huge human powered airplane) - would not fly at first but finally did for only a brief time (yet….the Gossamer Challenger (a husband/wife effort) was the first airplane to circumnavigate the earth without touching the ground). To power an aircraft to lift off the ground - for a human being - is quite a feat! Philosophy can soar and that is - with sound metaphysics - which it's present fallen state hardly, even admits to. Is it the dilemma of man's moral freedom? Do we have a unique soul - each and everyone? What is the importance; and if so - what is a Godly life? What is our personal res ponsibility? Is man a puppet - moved and jostled by the Gods or do we have instead a golden cord of Reason? This question can become very troubling - Judeo - Christian theology in general is blessed by the concern of an omniscient and omnipotent Heavenly Father - no people on earth have suffered more continually than the Jews and their friends. The paradox appears..........that the Lord God is HOLY and is in no way connected to the foolishness of any people; let alone individuals and we serve his purpose. A good reference for this - \"the word spoken to man - is not of any private interpretation.\" Human actions are not determined divinely but more or less consciously (hopefully with conscientious intentions) through “spiritual” guidance. If we hope to please this Great Spirit - it is written - \"God dwells in the praises of his people\" - \"he will not suffer his glory to be given to any other\". Traditionally we can assume that countenance and consciousness are directly related - today countenance probably means how much money do you have - smile when you say that. Countenance, composure and conscience - the three C's of mental
    142. well being. The view that self introspection allows one to appreciate others........\"There is one reality which we seize from within, by intuition and not by simple analysis. It is our own personality in its flowing through time - our self which endures. We may sympathize intellectually with nothing else, but we certainly sympathize with ourselves.\" Henri Bergson (An Introduction To Metaphysics) And as Hughes discerned from this (Consciousness and Society) \"And further, the philosopher would be able to accomplish what Kant and the others consider unattainable: to transcend the symbolic world of natural science - the mere understanding of a phenomenon in terms of something else - and to arrive at Absolute Knowledge.\" Be it considered that \"absolute knowledge' itself is a dangerous idea (in the wrong hands); but without reliable Epistemological Structure; all investigation becomes ambiguous. The sense of a great awakening nearing the human family is within this enlightened reasoning......Bergson himself developed a doctrine of \"Spontaneous Creation\" purposed to develop good values for living in society. Here we have an Intuitive Philosopher using the modality of empiricism - amazing - his ideas are a fragrant flower in a dark and polluted age. He proposed that human logic be so effective because men as \"born artisans\" - from antiquity - developed it empirically. The purpose of this codification of mysticism is to elevate both social \"science\" and social thought - poetic flights of fancy and specifically French logic - made Bergson a popular lecturer. The danger of \"creative evolution\" - if this means what we call consciousness - today might refer to creative adaptation...ET. Al. - was that it rested on shaky biologic principals..... The \"reserv oirs of life“-” gushing forth - which we all come from, can cause terrible flooding. Yet - his life is proof that Philosophy can lead to Salvation - and even as a \"believer\" he could not covert to Catholicism - in solidarity with his Jewish co - religionists; suffering death and imprisonment in 1941. Freud himself was a Moravian-born Jew - and even though so misunderstood, the inner sanctum of the mind - provides the ground for the wellspring of being – and would not be as well considered without his contributions. Jews and Gentiles working in harmony! Today cultural convergence is the esoteric element needing consideration. Regardless of our history; the Lenape's Mayday celebration and Thanksgiving were our first authentic holidays. Mayday itself was the first proclaimed holiday of the U.S.A. - for many a year today they celebrate it as ‘Earth Day’ and it has become a well spring of wilderness gatherings – ‘gentle Thurs days’ - demonstrations - pageantry and even Powwows. The legacy of Brother Tamenend and the Quakers - Deganawida of the Iroquois People and the great Eastern Woodlands alliance led directly to both the structure and spirit of the United States Constitution; Quite recently the National Institute of Health Revitalization Act was passed in Congress - its first Office of Alternative Medicine established.......Diet, nutrition and Lifestyle....Mind/B ody control ..... Traditional and Ethno medicine......... Structural manipulation and Energetic therapy......nutritional supplements... Herbology........Pharmacological and Biologic Treatments.......pretty far out! Even so....if youthful exuberance does not entangle itself in perverseness...... great good will comes of it. With a shield of freedom....the multi-faceted dilemma of an autocratic history....yields a paradox of sociologic awareness; something all people are acquainted with.

    143. Bone Marrow Cytology Red Blood Cells Universal Law Human Immune System ‘the life of the flesh is in the blood’ The Melodrama of Abnormal Psychology Man's beliefs about how societies should be orde red and related to one another are c alled ideologies; an understandin g of the psycholo gical roots of Ideologies would p rovide us with insigh t and Un derstandin g of our own political beliefs as well as those of others. The Arrogance of Power - Sen. J.W. Fulbright Today we are faced with the enigma that true equality and freedom are not freedom at all; but are becoming an ideologue of self justification. The future's integrity is being franchised to the greatest period of corporate greed that the World itself has ever seen. Our political ideology - our national conscience if you will - allows us to hate totalitarian dictators hips and insane megalomaniacs but does not allow us to deal with the corruption within our own societies. The spectra of government owned and operated gambling has fostered the growth of every conceivable vice and criminal conspiracy - all in the name of government funding. Our psycho philosophy has deceived us into believing that They somehow socialize man\" - Yet the power of the special interest groups like the National Rifle Association NRA - allows the sale of weaponry - to almost anyone - which belongs only on a battlefield. The Freudian Monsters of the ID - have attacked our society full scale as gangsters; terrorist organizations and ins ane citizens proliferate the aura of an armed camp - burgeoning an ever increasingly expensive Police presence and the overworked Criminal Justice System it necessitates. Does an armed judicial system......marshals, constables, police officers and even bounty hunters ; prevent violence or merely perpetrate it. (The drama McCloud (A&E network) set in New York city - 1980 – “more murders were committed in that city than in the entire British Isles (where police are unarmed)”) Where are the psychologists and their analysts? Deep distress, confusion, moral trauma, and spiritual bondage (the demonic type) are making our society a circus freak sideshow. We are becoming a people measured by the degree of our depravity - slaves to selfish temptations and the true evils which prey upon them. Infanticide and the serial killers - to name a few - are becoming daily headlines and news stories throug hout the U.S.A. Nor are we alone in the moral collapse of our society. The now generation demanded - freedom to be ourselves - our historic downfall is that we were found wanting. What is conscience then....if it is true that moral feelings have ethical rewards; enlightened ‘self interest’? Moral feelings of conscience are as distinct from those of sensation and intellect as color is from s ound. Yet because of importance are as oneness dimensionally. Conscience affects contentment with life's vicissitudes; discerning that pleasures are qualitatively different. No form of education can impart the idea of right. It is intrinsically ‘constitutional’ and personal.......conscience seeks introspection in the full light of facts with impartiality; where ethical principles are concerned it requires the discernment of malevolence. Conscience - according to theological definition - is present whenever two (or more) com peting incentives are to be judged (which is the higher?). The imperative of moral conviction (belief) is intuitively discerned - we invoke moral qualities - they are not invented. Wherever a question of responsibility is involved..... .patience; strenuous investigation and thought are required for decision making. Rationality is admitting to ourselves that we need to aim for what is true (faithful and virtuous)! \" From the duty discerned there issues a command which we cannot silence; so long as the duty is present in the mind.\" (Hastings Concordance)
    144. Conscience enjoins belief and practice. It is also unique....in that; it does not recognize the refusal to obey as justification. A biblical conscience could well remind us....here is the way...Walk ye in it. It compels us to be builders as well as designers; artists as well as thinkers.......it is concerned with the emotional tone of duty; cultivates an inclination to lead and gains a sense of fulfillment (within the doers) in the right decision. Inability or disobedience to conscience can lead to the grief of fear and indecision. Because all people are morally suspect - the qualitative differences of moral judgments - the voice of conscience reassures one of the need for penitence and remorse; enjoying .peace with \" God \" or uneasiness. Our direction is to become conscientious - to accept the verdict that results from self examination - by obedience......rather than correction. The development of psychological philosophies defines th e unenlightened as self satisfying; self preserving creatures - whom they must socialize. They relate much of the ethnic antipathy we experience today to this ideology within education. Oftentimes; they kidnapped and took \"deprived\" children to reform schools - where they practiced a form of slavery and religious coercion. We cannot countenance government - in the guise of so called freedom - preying upon the people. We pride ourselves on the \"Academic Freedom of the Western Democracies\" yet our historic downfall is that the dictums of bigotry and racism which our ideologies supposedly prevent have destroyed the very fabric of our judicial system - INJUSTICE leads to judicial failure. Darwin Marx and Engel Libertarian societies of the 1920's Skinner ( Behaviorism ) Semi - conscious flight from authority is our national mania; they must prosecute children now as adults. Psychological theories such as Skinner - which root themselves in truths which are basically only observations of the ability of living systems (living creatures) to adapt themselves to changing environments - the modality of this ability has never been discovered - is a philosophic pitfall. The inauthentic conscious (delusional, paranoid, hallucinatory) has conclusively been shown to be rooted in the human neurosis (actually neural anatomy) - Defined as dedicated to concealing the truth; along with this idea - conscientiously - society itself must discipline people in meaningful and productive ways. Family is the ways which people grow up into mature adults - a breakdown of the nuclear family today comes from an economy of the pampered elite whose \"lifestyles\" greatly influence a perverse society....their failure to identify the actual cause of the AID’s syndrome accounts more dead than the Vietnam and Korean Wars combined. Worldwide this epidemic has taken on huge proportions in Africa and SE Asia. The shortfall of evolutionary psychology is that it presents religion as mythological based - not as part of family life. Do we understand the hierarchies of our brains discrete functions as is claimed? Neurophysiology presents a portrait of the multiplicities of integrated neuronal groups in a design of integrated understanding - this is quite useful. Yet the holistic quality of medical applicability is quite lacking - old brain and new brain sound like concepts of evolution - left and right functional learning modalities balanced by the intricacies of hormonal and sensory stimuli in a powerful cerebral cortex...sounds a little closer. The Darwinian - Marxist - Skinnerian hegemony appears headed for oblivion. Consider - if man experienced a quantum fall - then the more we deny this casualty - the worse our downfall becomes. In fact as we look for explanations for the violence of the 20 th century (especially in those \"civilized\" realms which purport grace and beauty) - we inevitably come to the psycho analysis of ID - Ego - Superego; unfortunately these concepts are only too close to the Nihilistic ones of Solipsist (self) - the beast of Police State Mentality - and
    145. Superman (the surpassing of God). Even if we take a more intuitive approach - that man can overcome great suffering - it still cannot explain how globally - a dark specter of merciless destruction was transformed through societies where human dignity is well established. Transferring the guilt of \"science\" subsequently upon a new and more confused field; psycho-cybernetics - is not warranted. Here we find the rejection of autonomy (what is a person in semantics anyway?). If no \"pl ausible\" center of consciousness exists...we become nothing more than an organismic robot - synthesized by something called evolution - into a complex being of neurons, ganglions and cortex bundles - but how can we explain our most remarkable eyes and our stereoscopic vision - our perception of grayscale defies interpretation and our anatomic coordination is excellent as well. The absolute lightness of being (in basic terms) allows the animating musculature to propel us in amazing ways; what is the explanation for this - our bodies being 90% water. There can be no justification for the arbitrary infliction of misery of one group upon another; no matter how they try to explain it. No, it is quite clear; the offensive stone is dogmatic evolution. Societies are even organized to DEFINE justice; often this is why revolutions occur.....the rights of Kings were rejected Biblically over 3,000 years ago; why does it take so long for man to realize these fundamental truths? Do we have a special type of rationality - not confined to mathematical definitions? Ways of knowing and kinds of minds - these are ideas present by the \"human potential\" movement. They are based upon a conceptual shift in the qualitative aspects of properties - to judge or not to judge (that is the Question). Through the technological advances of intensive care units; biofeedback (life support systems) entered the study of Body/Mind (brain) relationships. Psycho-cybernetics rightly adheres to the mathematics of quantifiable and measurable physiologic phenomenon....... even thoug h the question is not quantity but quality. Because people are moral beings who can be bound by conscience and reason; their ability to recognize moral implications and imperatives for their own and others actions are universal principals. The exodus of young people into the occult, the lure of mind control techniques, alternative cultures and lifestyles is a direct reaction to a materialistic psychology of denial in our societies. In other words if we see manifesting in our friends and relations - self abuse, suicidal tendencies, violence, terroristic ideologue of so called \"religious\" fundamentalists, what will be our justification for denying the evil in our world. (Government bureaucracy?) At times even catatonic states of consciousness in the downtrodden people are sentenced under a law of lunacy. What are we doing about it? As we become sane others will also.......this is a good purpose in itself.....to heal the ills of society. It is not an overused rule of thumb - “No man is righteous before God - no not one\". That is why self - righteous judgment of other people is so repugnant. Judge not, lest you also be judged ...but if you must judge - do so rightly. Just as the superstring theory denotes a perfect internal harm ony in physical reality - so does the unconscious provide symmetry with the conscious. Is it rational.......canonical......genetically based? Behavior - that is......feasible and economical? Is behavior some type of complex syndrome... not just survival ethos - like preparing oneself to face death in disaster situations? It is apparent, our “intelligentsia\" made an enormous error with psychological behaviorism. Human beings are far from being the pigeons that behavioral scientists..........hired by the military establishment, as the Pentagon came into existence - thought. They attempted to \"bypass\" consciousness through \"conditioning\". The purpose of this.....we assume....was not to produce one million cases of \"post traumatic stress disorder \".....but to create an army of \"killers\". Their reasoning was.....that on WWII \" killing fields\" ( battlegrounds - we assume) only 15% of soldiers actually fired their weapons ( bound by conscience - killing of one's own kind) - yet in Vietnam due to a new conditioning technique of training the soldiers with pop - up targets simulating battle conditions - 90% used their weapons (50,000 rounds per enemy killed). The stumbling block of \"conscience” though was hardly overcome as the anti - war movement swept in harmony with civil rights across the nation. When we think of stress.......perhaps a Neil Simon Comic Drama comes to mind.....not the unexpiated guilt of the Vietnam Veteran whose basic sin was obeying their country's call to arms. The advertised \" Atoms for Peace \" of the 19 50's became the atomized aerosol's o
