God's science

Month, Day: 167, Might, Light (Beauty)
Month, Day: 167, Might, Might (Independence)

A few thoughts related to insights from the Writings that pertain to science which is an operational affair related to roles (emphasis on Deeds over Words in the requirements of the age). These will be collected in a coherent manner at some point.

In a sense, we might argue that any basis, other than a computational one, is suspect. Why? Long series of arguments here, but the Key applies. How? It is our task to show.

Humans bring to fore what is needed as an integral part of a worldview. Okay, reality is there, however intelligence (of a type to be discussed further) is manifested by ourselves.

There are means to note, for ourselves, what might be termed progress. For example, this from Gleanings: Much hath been written in the books of old concerning the various stages in the development of the soul, such as concupiscence, irascibility, inspiration, benevolence, contentment, Divine good-pleasure, and the like; the Pen of the Most High, however, is disinclined to dwell upon them. Every soul that walketh humbly with its God, in this Day, and cleaveth unto Him, shall find itself invested with the honor and glory of all goodly names and stations.

Humans have differing abilities, within themselves through time and amongst themselves. These need to be studied in their multifarious aspects.

Again, Gleanings: The whole duty of man in this Day is to attain that share of the flood of grace which God poureth forth for him. Let none, therefore, consider the largeness or smallness of the receptacle. The portion of some might lie in the palm of a man’s hand, the portion of others might fill a cup, and of others even a gallon-measure.

Hence, it's not the structure, as we saw earlier, rather it's the ability related to roles. And, these are mixed.

---

Of course, the gallon-measure demands attention. This does not mean oodles of money flowing like a stream (as we see now, with less than 2% collecting, or holding tightly, 99%+ of the resources), necessarily.

Science will allow more equitable concepts to emerge, especially in the dismal science of economics.

Aqdas: We have appointed two signs for the coming of age of the human race: the first, which is the most firm foundation, We have set down in other of Our Tablets, while the second hath been revealed in this wondrous Book.

One of these is that no enlightened person would want to be king or queen, except in some 'role' sense.

Remarks:

08/31/2012 -- Names, Knowledge, Independence.

12/05/2010 -- Is it not true that extreme positions on the axis of the mindful can lead to a god-like state-fulness?

0/04/2010 -- Friction can beget progress.

09/17/2010 -- As mentioned earlier as a comment that the year's focus would be enlightenment, the motivation (which group follows the Operational, in which we are now) is to understand the progression of science (toward scientism and other types) for the past 200 years through studying the Writings. We cannot look back, but we can try to delta around the Revelation times. The explosion in knowledge and technology, or observable patterns thereof, can be placed on a time line that can (must) span the mid-1800s thereby offering conjectural support. Now, the use of conjecture is meant to imply that we have, at best, quasi-empiricism anyway; hence, the proposed activity (applying insight about roles to discern the growing presence of these) is not without some 'sound' basis (foundational review that it needs to be). Without scrutiny such as this (audacious or not), how to we learn from the past? As far as we know, the prescription against looking back is against wider looks that have a smaller chance of finding corroborative data. Our merely looking back a few centuries is a minimal extension in comparison.
