Will and knowing II

Month, Day: 167, Names, Will (Perfection)
Month, Day: 167, Names, Knowledge (Grace)

As we look at the ontological issues, this series brings a lot of insights that are of interest to operational schemes. For one, we have the groups: Transcendent, Teleological, Operational, Motivational, Ascendant. Then, we have the flow within each of the members of the Groups allowing us another look at each, every month.

Taking some concepts from f-logic, as an example of how structure comes to fore, Names would map to entities. Attributes are of several types, but they are subsumed by Might. That is, functional attributes are in the mix, to boot. Then, Will deals with the domain (Dominion), in this context, via roles. Finally, we have the first of the Twin Duties, namely to know (Knowledge).

After the last of the Operational group, we transition to the Motivational which helps us with the second of the Twin Duties.

Earlier, there was a motivation to note that we can immerse ourselves to find the basis for science. That is, immerse in the great sea of Words, yet, even there, the admonition is that the Twin Duties are paramount.

Aqdas #182: Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths.

We are only a few years beyond the Revelation, nowhere near any grand scheme that would allow 'spirit' into our materially engrossed lives and ontology. Of course, the brights may argue that such collective insight is impossible, or very unlikely.

As to likelihood, we have not seen yet how to establish the basis for such analysis. That is one of our tasks, perhaps the chief one.

Remarks:

05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.

05/09/2011 -- We need a constructive re-look.

10/04/2010 -- We have cycles within which to work.

09/12/2010 -- Actions, as in Deeds over Words, is the core issue related to science.

Finale

Month, Day: 167, Perfection, Loftiness (Majesty)

We're at the end of the Teleological so that means that Operational concerns can be once more on the table. And, what is Science if not operational?

That is, we have operational definitions as the basis for what is, essentially, underdetermined. Yet, we were counseled that Certitude is of essence.

A question always on the table deals with the Manifestation and science, not to ignore those related to explaining things like life, consciousness, and more from an axiomatic basis using reason and data.

SAQ #22: The meaning is not that the Manifestations are unable to perform miracles, for They have all power. But for Them inner sight, spiritual healing and eternal life are the valuable and important things.

Has not that 'inner sight' been castigated and thrown out by science? 'How to recover' is one thing to ponder and discuss as we expend the yearly measure.

A System

Month, Day: 167, Perfection, Honour (Perfection)

The last of the Motivational group, in this month of Perfection.

One could use the metaphor of attractors (and their opposites), somewhat. As we see from the Iqan (#213): He must so cleanse his heart that no remnant of either love or hate may linger therein, lest that love blindly incline him to error, or that hate repel him away from the truth.

Yet, measures come in, too. As, progress needs some type of denotation, and metric, to support the necessary controls. But, then the metrics are not sufficient.

Remarks:

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

05/26/2011 -- A 'super' position can have merit.

05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.

05/09/2011 -- We need a constructive re-look.

04/04/2011 -- We'll be looking at things like foreknowledge. Man, and system.

08/19/2010 -- Measures do exist already, of many sorts.

Will and knowing

Month, Day: 167, Perfection, Knowledge (Majesty)

Yesterday, we saw Will come up after the long sequence through the Transcendent and Teleological groups.

Will, the third of the Operational, is so important for autonomous action (including Audacity).

And, one principle guidance is the Twin duties pair, namely knowing and then obeying. We are given the means, and Might, to follow through properly. Yet, what says this for the proper framework for science?

Valley of Contentment: Although to outward view, the wayfarers in this Valley may dwell upon the dust, yet inwardly they are throned in the heights of mystic meaning; they eat of the endless bounties of inner significances, and drink of the delicate wines of the spirit.

Remarks:

10/02/2011 -- More on means.

08/31/2010 -- Again, Will and knowing.
