"Siddhis are often mentioned in conjunction with Riddhi (pl Riddhis),
which means material or worldly wealth, power, luxurious lifestyles, etc."

came across an article that suggested early theologians that suggests,
given our nature of sense beings,
architecture may have a more profound impact than scripture

hence the fancy-church phenom

and while archi may seem a silent influence,

banks invested in homes they hoped not to own

the white house is endemical to the pres

even scientists prefer to live indoors

and fresh from the womb, we begin to relate to an inside/outside universe,
before we even speak


hollywood, prop-dialogue blitz, sewing together locations... techture


characters... characterizations...

"Informal. an odd, eccentric, or unusual person."

Realism in the sense used by physicists does not directly equate to realism in metaphysics

Different interpretations of quantum mechanics reject different parts of
local realism and/or counterfactual definiteness.

Any theory, like quantum mechanics, that violates Bell's inequalities must
abandon either local realism or counterfactual definiteness.

Logi appears by that name in Gylfaginning in the tale of Thor and Loki's
journey to the castle of the giant Útgarða-Loki in Jötunheimr where Loki
was pitted against Logi in an eating contest. The contestants appeared to
be equal in speed at eating meat from the bone, but Logi also consumed
the bones and even the wooden trencher in which the meat was placed.
Útgarða-Loki afterwards explained that Logi was really fire itself.


Image

The Gylfaginning tells the story of Gylfi, a king of Sweden, who after
being tricked by one of the goddesses of the Æsir, wonders if all Æsir use
magic and tricks for their will to be done. This is why he journeys to
Asgard, but on the way he is tricked by the gods and arrives in some
other place, where he finds a great palace. Inside the palace he
encounters a man who asks Gylfi's name and so king Gylfi introduces
himself as Gangleri. Gangleri then is taken to the king of the palace and
comes upon three men; High, Just-As-High, and Third.

Gangleri is then challenged to show his wisdom by asking questions, as is
the custom in many Norse sagas. Each question made to High, Just-As-
High, and Third is about an aspect of the Norse mythology or its gods, and
also about the creation and destruction of the world (Ragnarök). In the
end all the palace and its people just vanish and Gylfi is left standing on
empty ground.

In the formation of a TAZ, Bey argues, information becomes a key tool
that sneaks into the cracks of formal procedures.

A priori knowledge is knowledge that is known independently of experience (that is, it is non-empirical).
A posteriori knowledge is knowledge that is known by experience (that is, it is empirical).

Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception,
learning, communication, association and reasoning. The term knowledge
is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject with the
ability to use it for a specific purpose if appropriate.



to know the size of the wind is to know it blows all direction at once

the sun shines in all directions at once

all directions at once is more useful than one, or four

deals chiefly with "knowledge" in its traditional form as viewed by
philosophers, but it may be helpful to be aware of a broader usage which
has been developing within biology/psychology—discussed elsewhere as
meta-epistemology, or genetic epistemology, and to some extent related to "theory of cognitive development". [Note that "Epistemology" is the
study of knowledge and how it is acquired.]

if their plans are laid fautlessly upon reality
they should be but reaffirmed by any expedition into realism

their mood may be said to be anchored in their plans, and swayed by their assesment of realism

Neuroesthetics uses the techniques of neuroscience in order to explain
and understand the esthetic experiences at the neurological level. The
field was pioneered and named by Semir Zeki, who runs the Institute of
Neuroesthetics at University College London.

Zeki suggests that

"...the artist is in a sense, a neuroscientist, exploring the potentials and
capacities of the brain, though with different tools. How such creations can
arouse aesthetic experiences can only be fully understood in neural
terms. Such an understanding is now well within our reach."
Reductionism can either mean (a) an approach to understanding the
nature of complex things by reducing them
or (b) a philosophical position that a complex system is nothing

in the world of reality,
the only thing a reductionist reduces
is their understanding
