Operational, again

Month, Day: 168, Names, Names (Beauty)

We are done with the first two groups, finally arriving at the Operational. There is much of significance to look here. But, we have four months to do so, and we see the cycle with every month. Too, we're nearing half of our yearly measure.

SAQ #3: He must also impart spiritual education, so that intelligence and comprehension may penetrate the metaphysical world, and may receive benefit from the sanctifying breeze of the Holy Spirit, and may enter into relationship with the Supreme Concourse. He must so educate the human reality that it may become the center of the divine appearance, to such a degree that the attributes and the names of God shall be resplendent in the mirror of the reality of man, and the holy verse “We will make man in Our image and likeness” shall be realized.

Thought: Creation implies structure which implies names and, as well, the operational properties.

The triple

Month, Day: 168, Perfection, Will (Majesty)

On Monday, of this week, we had the rare triple: Perfection, Perfection, Perfection.

This is 'rare' in that we have only 3 of the days of the week (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) which are also in the Attribute list.

---

The double days are more regular.

---

It is interesting that two of the possible triple days are on our traditional weekend. Then, the third is like we had this year with the day that starts the work week.

---

One thing that we might want to look at is to see how many memes map to the Writings. The meme. Almost metaphysical, yet not.

---

IQAN (pr 210): Ponder the blessed verse, so that the meaning of the words: “There is neither a thing green nor sere but it is noted in the unerring Book,” may be imprinted upon the tablet of thy heart.

Ramadan

Month, Day: 168, Perfection, Splendour (Perfection)

This year, Ramadan starts with Perfection, the last of the Teleological. Interesting.

---

The month through the years of the blog.
  • August, 2008 -- three quotes from Some Answered Questions set the tone.
  • March, 2009 -- we see the Attributes repeat each month, paired. Then, we can have the day, to boot (as, today is Perfection). Light starts the Teleological which Perfection closes.
  • July, 2009 -- see any flaws?
  • January, 2010 -- about the Manifestation, and science. We cannot understand Perfection, given our limits. Yet, there are things that we can study and apply (next up, Operational).
  • July, 2010 -- pursuant to the prior bullet, 'return' will be a key topic. Nothing to be afraid of in looking at this further.
Remarks:

08/11/2011 -- This year, in Perfection, we had a triple day.
