Transcendent, again

Month, Day: Grandeur, Power (Independence)

So far removed, yet so close. That is the lesson. Yet, the so far leads to cognitive states that are becoming more and more explicitly described, such as that pointed out (follow the URL) or that exhibited by the growing clamor of the brights.
The themes related to the unfolding of audacity are many; subsequent groups (Teleological onward) will be more amenable to providing discussion points, in that science is knowing and doing which implies that real, measurable effects are waiting to be discovered, and applied, by us.

Just think of the twin duties as laid down in the Aqdas, namely recognition (being able to see) and observance (being able to apply in all affairs, including one's scientific pursuits) part of which would be being fully aware of the influence, on Nature, of the Manifestation.

One might think that the Transcendent and Teleological set the stage for what we then can do under the Operational and Motivational. In this sense, the Attributes by day follow each month in cycles that never end. Iteration (and another side of it) is one way to force learning.

But, the cycle is not to a strict replay. The time arrow applies here; the logic ought to be founded upon what we can know of Creation; many are trying to understand this; yet, how can we ever handle incompleteness without intuition? See this video, for starters on discussion of how quasi-empiricism relates.
Remarks:

03/11/2020 -- Still doing Groups (patterns).

04/04/2011 -- We'll be looking at things like foreknowledge.

02/24/2010 -- Ascendant to Transcendent.

09/26/2009 -- An issue for the Operational view.

06/11/2009 -- Science and Religion.

06/05/2009 -- Light very much is something to study in this context.

Generation gap

Month, Day: Beauty, Loftiness (Glory)

3/4ths through the Transcendent collection.

Inter-generational and intra-generational gaps have been discussed, over the years, in many different contexts.

There may be more to this than has been allowed in the discussion. Insights resulting from related reflections are part of the required audacity for significant contributions to a new science.

Gems of Divine Mysteries (Javáhiru’l-Asrár #78: "Wert thou to behold all things with the eye of discernment, thou wouldst indeed see that this divine sword doth cleave asunder generations. Would that ye could understand it! "

Remarks:

03/30/2012 -- Interesting video on self-transcendence. Pay attention to the last three minutes.

11/23/2009 -- Motivational thoughts.

10/11/2009 -- Operational issues apply within this theme, to boot.

09/06/2009 -- Essentially, more is undecidable than we like to admit, basically due to our talent for success (ergodicity, essentially) keeps the hubris refreshed (generation by generation).

07/26/2009 -- 3/4ths through the Teleological. In terms of the intra-generational severing, it's one reason for not being political which is about as secular as one can get. As, we do not stand in need of our neighbor. What does the politician need? Votes.

05/29/2009 -- The Transcendent baffles.
