Month, Day: Beauty, Names (Justice)
For whatever reason that might be the prime cause behind the phenomenon (whether natural, social, or purely accidental), the existence of the autodidact ought to be celebrated for its contributory potential. Ah, institutions do not want that.
Slogan 1: the tenured position is not equivalent (no way) to that established by the truly autodidactic.
Slogan 2: the existential reality for the autodidact can be abandonment.
In terms of principle, this whole thing has to do with Independent Investigation of the Truth (a basic Principle of the Baha'i Faith) which is a very hard subject. Actually very hard, look at the Brights (yes, Dawkins, et al) as peers beat one down (physical threats, psychological torture, social pressures, ...) in many, many ways.
Hah, they haven't the power or the number of troops required for this (Tablet of Ahmed), and the unlearned don't know better (therefore, not knowing is foregivable in some circumstances).
It will be a major theme to fill in the void. Wiki has a start.
As I was reminded recently by an expert, a PhD has to be autodidactic in anything outside his/her field if he/she does not want to just play patsy to those who are verbal (and abusive) about what they know and to those who think that everyone ought to follow them (neither a leader nor follower be, to misquote William S).
Example (4 horsemen).
Slogan 3: math does not talk to (or for) God, as is believed by the physicist, who speaks for the chemist, who establishes the framework for the materialism of the biologist who ...
Slogan 4: There are many autodidacts to whom we can point in a manner to set the proper tone for this type of inquiry (nope, use not motivated by Bush or the Jesuits).

Abandoned
Month, Day: Beauty, Splendour (Grace)
Month, Day: Beauty, Names (Justice)
In the early months, it can seem to be a long time through the Transcendental and Teleological groups before we get to the Operational (3rd Group) which implies action. Too, how can we grasp these early Attributes coming out of Loftiness?
It's almost as if we're abandoned since we cannot get our arms around things to attempt understanding. Any attempt gets repelled. Even Jesus had his doubting moments.
But, looking at the Manifestation, as Reflection (SAQ #27, Trinity) can help. We'll look at that further, at some point.
In the meantime, we can realize that we're not abandoned. In fact, one has no need of one's neighbor; too, one faces the results of one's actions alone. Except, that many suffer at the hands of others is part of reality which we are to study.
For knowledge and science, we need the autodidact (who has to be audacious -- independent investigation of the truth) or a collection thereof.
As an aside, the Master (SAQ) said that intelligible forms are necessary to convey truth, otherwise we are dealing with imagination which does not even have mineral form. Our old friend Albert said that imagination was more important than knowledge. Did he say that from an abandonment moment?
There are ways to show that mathematics and science are backward. Now, they lead to rejection of God, for many. Can the basis change?
Well, we have to start with the introspective which has been thrown out (the autodidact will bring this back in). But, then, how do we get the public and shared? That is, an objectivity goal is foundational in science. Given that cognition is the basis for how we know, can we remove the conundrum?
Yes, audacity and autodidactism will found a view for the future and will balance that of the brights, irreligious (intellectually flavored variety). The related issues are neither easy nor pre-defined, we have to (will) find the way
Remarks:
01/25/2012 -- Yes, still at it. Ready to be more audacious. What we're looking for has to do with mind; at some point, it will be allowed by science that we can observe effects (actually, predict, to boot - one step forward will be a more insightful mathematics).
05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.
05/09/2011 -- We need a constructive re-look.
04/04/2011 -- Spring, the time for the yearly measure. Too, we'll be looking at things like foreknowledge (as in, there really are ways to know).
12/05/2010 -- Is it not true that extreme positions on the axis of the mindful can lead to a god-like state-fulness?
10/11/2009 -- Will, an operational imperative for science.
09/06/2009 -- Essentially, more is undecidable than we like to admit, basically due to our talent for success (ergodicity, essentially) keeping the hubris refreshed (generation by generation).
05/29/2009 -- The Transcendent baffles.

Transcendental
Month, Day: Glory, Names (Independence)
Month, Day: Glory, Knowledge (Perfection)
Actually, the post ought to have been named Transcendent.
Much to ponder and to observe as the cycles turn and re-occur.
Of these months: Splendour, of God, is past. Glory, of the Manifestation, is now. Beauty, of Creation, is up next. Followed, then, by Grandeur, of man.
Are we acting worthy of that last? We can do more by being audacious in thought and action.
Ridvan starts on the Power day of Glory.
Remarks:
02/24/2010 -- Ascendant to Transcendent.
11/23/2009 -- Motivational thoughts.
07/26/2009 -- The Operational times will be fun.
05/29/2009 -- The Transcendent baffles.
