I think of it more as a serendipitous emergent ability from the multitude of interacting functions of the mind/body.aliantha wrote:I dunno about that. To me, intuition is more like a synthesis of thought and emotion. It just happens so fast that we aren"t able to differentiate which part is what.
...shall we rename the TARDIS "Joy?"Joy is the soul vibrating in sync with the moment of time at this point in space.
I mentioned in the comments on Facebook that I see myself relating to all except that I disagree with the one regarding faith. I know too many people who are un-/non-believers to accept that at face value. Duchess came back with a great reply, which I will quote here...The absence of joy is sadness. The absence of faith is depression. The absence of love is loneliness. And the absence of awe is selfishness.
Further thoughts, anyone?Duchess of Malfi wrote:but perhaps the "faith" they have is in the world, is in nature,in beauty, is in fellow human beings, is in family and/or loved ones in their lives rather than religious faith? people can have lives filled with faith and be agnostics, atheists, or belong to pretty much any religion, IMHO.
In my opinion, should shame ever be dished out at all, it should be done only with extremely judicious restraint. Generally, who are we to ever judge another?Fear and shame are related.
Fear is a personal judgment call.
Shame results from the other's judgment call.
I barely know the names of the theories, much less what they are about nor why they would be irreconcilable...An understanding of G-d's Four-Letter Name offers a possible synthesis of two heretofore irreconcilable theories -- Quantum Theory and the Theory of Relativity.
For some reason, while the first lesson worked fine, I was unable to load the media for lesson two in Firefox and had to watch on IE.An analysis of the spatial dimension and the secret significance of the number 176 in Torah as the basic model of "the optimal expansiveness of space."
Next lesson in the "Science and Kabbalah" series goes active tonight. I'll post a link once it does.Wisdom is knowing when to swim against the tide.
Foolishness is not knowing when to follow the path.
Spirituality is the compass that guides you to the shores of destiny.
hmm...Various ways of defining the temporal dimension, its composition, and its effect upon space.
in regards to lesson three, on my Facebook wall Hyperception wrote:Wondering where to find the chief commentaries to which Crispe refers? Try this: www.kheper.net/topics/Kabbalah/SeferYetzirah.htm
And this: www2.kabbalah.com/k/index.php/p=zohar/zohar
Time and space are continua in this system, so even if the length is halved the density of points is the same.
A description of the spiritual dimension as the "conscious observer" which defines the temporal and spatial dimensions.
Self esteem flows from a realization that you are uniquely reincarnated to contribute a gift of self that no other person who ever lived, who will ever live, possesses.

The four dimensions of "point, line, area and body" as they correspond to four levels within the conscious observer and Four Worlds.
The dimensions of space and time within the physical universe and their corresponding spiritual characteristics.
The spiritual seeker seeks the meaningful.
The mystical seeker seeks the experiential.
The material seeker seeks a security blanket.
