Month, Day: 171, Questions, Mercy (Justice)
My favorite month. If you think about it, the gift of Questions is the basis for knowledge and science.
---
Too, remember the reflection point, knowledge of which (BASIS) will be central to a stable future.
---
Just became aware of the Pages feature which is nice as it allows an overview that is outside of the temporal one and beyond the capability of the categorical.

Power and motivation
Month, Day: 170, Power, Splendour (Perfection)
Power, first of the Motivational months. Then, we have Speech, Questions, and Honour.
HW #34: O SON OF SPIRIT! The spirit of holiness beareth unto thee the joyful tidings of reunion; wherefore dost thou grieve? The spirit of power confirmeth thee in His cause; why dost thou veil thyself? The light of His countenance doth lead thee; how canst thou go astray?

Bridge from the Operational
Month, Day: 170, Names, Power (Beauty)
Motivational. Haven't paid enough attention to this group. Have not even made a category for it.
Essentially: Power, Speech, Questions, Honour.
Perhaps, it's due to the intuitive appeal of the Operational. But, could leverage off the Twin Festivals which span Operational and Motivational.
Aside: Twin appears several times.
Remarks:
09/02/2013 -- Eyes, ears, self-ness.
03/25/2016 -- A change in the calendar will have these two adjusting. As well, we have a principal vector upon which to contemplate.

Questions of Questions
Month, Day: 168, Questions, Questions (Perfection)
Aqdas (#161): Blessed is the man that hath acknowledged his belief in God and in His signs, and recognized that “He shall not be asked of His doings”. Such a recognition hath been made by God the ornament of every belief and its very foundation. Upon it must depend the acceptance of every goodly deed. Fasten your eyes upon it, that haply the whisperings of the rebellious may not cause you to slip.---
We have gone into Questions a lot, every month and for a month of each year. We have an update coming to the discussion of the brights.
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).

Post the Two
Month, Day: 168, Power, Power (Justice)
The Motivational time started with Power. Also, we were twixt the Twin Festivals, earlier.
Now, we're post these. But, the time made one think of many things, some of which would be return, interpretations, the spaces, and more.

Twixt the Two
Month, Day: 168, Power, Glory (Glory)
The Motivational time starts with Power. Also, we're still twixt the Twin Festivals.
A few pointers: Photo showing where the Bab was to be interned, the room The Tablet of Ahmad was written, Mary Magdalene, The Human Soul (a missing piece, to be brought forth by audacity).

Measures, yearly and otherwise
Month, Day: 168, Knowledge, Knowledge (Majesty)
We're at the last of the Operational times. Then, the Motivational time starts with Power.
And, Names of Power is the second of the "two other Festivals" that we see each year. We started a period on Light of Knowledge that is considered as one day (see Aqdas #138) yet is 22 days in length.
---
We're now, also, into the fall times. By now, how much of the yearly measure has been used? For the most part, who even thinks of their storage? Oh, we can ask for more?
Perhaps not, is it that there is something that limits use so as to allow that all of the year has a part of the measure? In other words, metered release.

Power of science
Month, Day: 167, Power, Splendour (Majesty)
We're in the Motivational period for 167. Remember, we started with the Transcendent, then had the Teleological, and just finished the Operational. This period will end with Honour, at which point we'll start the Ascendant toward the refreshing of the next year.
---
Had thought to use capital 'S' but did not for reasons that may be of interest at some point.
We are to know, and obey, the Manifestations who inform us by Writings, their Selves, and their System. That is the personal motivation.
Now, we apply science to tear things down, looking for truth, with an associated task of putting things back together.
What can science tell us about the Manifestation?
Discussion of these types of items will continue throughout Power and the Motivational period.
Remarks:
11/16/2010 -- What can science know?
11/05/2010 -- We are encouraged to excel at what we do, that is, God likes people to vie, peacefully. (If God has so willed, He might have made you a single community, but [He has not done so] that He might test you in what He has given you; so compete in goodness. Qu'ran, 5:48) Progress comes from that. So, can applying Principles from the Faith improve the scientific process and its results? One way that this could happen would be insights obtained via the principles. Have we seen that yet?

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.

Ascendant to Transcendent
Month, Day: 166, Dominion, Dominion (Justice)
Couldn't pass up having a post on this square day. We're heading to the last month of 166 (and the renewal of energies). With the three Ascendant months and the four Transcendent months, we have almost a third of the year devoted to things than cannot be reduced.
Isn't that great?
Then, we have the reducible, to an extent, and usable, with the other three groups: Teleological, Operational, and Motivational.
So, the theme will continue, as how can we apply knowledge of the Key? How long will this take? Well, I'm not racing against the anyone's clock (though, it's to be within PTIME, I hope).
---
Reminder, about Revelation, Aqdas (#37): Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years, such a man is assuredly a lying impostor.
Easy enough.
Too, somehow, the abstracted has led us astray. How to reclaim the fact that human intuition, and natural bases, are more grounded? That is, Creation-based science.
Remarks:
03/11/2020 -- Still doing Groups (patterns).
03/21/2011 -- Year 165, Year 166, Year 167, Year 168
04/21/2010 -- We need to upgrade to a Transcendent Topology.

Motivational III
Month, Day: 166, Honour, Splendour (Majesty)
We're now to the last of the Motivationals. As we head to the Ascendants, with the New Year looming (167), we will use the reality of the Manifestation as a major theme for discussion. This has to do with more than audacity. It's core.
Lets start with a couple of quotes from the SAQ, mainly to carry on Questions.
As mentioned before, the first part covers the influence of the Prophets in the evolution of humanity. Allowing this notion is a big step. The third part considers attributes of the Manifestations of God. The fourth part looks at man's details.
Now, given an acceptance of the first part as a basis, then the details, as they are covered in the subsequent parts, follow and ought to have relevance to true science.
SAQ #37: But for this Essence of the essences, this Truth of truths, this Mystery of mysteries, there are reflections, auroras, appearances and resplendencies in the world of existence. The dawning-place of these splendors, the place of these reflections, and the appearance of these manifestations are the Holy Dawning-places, the Universal Realities and the Divine Beings, Who are the true mirrors of the sanctified Essence of God. All the perfections, the bounties, the splendors which come from God are visible and evident in the Reality of the Holy Manifestations, like the sun which is resplendent in a clear polished mirror with all its perfections and bounties.
SAQ #51: All beings, whether large or small, were created perfect and complete from the first, but their perfections appear in them by degrees. The organization of God is one; the evolution of existence is one; the divine system is one.
It is obvious that some type of 'supernatural' appendage (it can be minimal - our task, to determine this) is required for science to take the next step. Otherwise, it mainly revolves around the pit of materialism and hollows our the human core. The manner in which this will play out is unknown, is feared, but is necessary. Let's take some time to develop the proper view, or at least define what is needed, from First Principles.
One of those is this.
SAQ #78: The tent of existence is upheld upon the pillar of justice and not upon forgiveness. The continuance of mankind depends upon justice and not upon forgiveness.
So, work is a key issue, with all sorts of implications.

Science as gift
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Light (Justice)
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Mercy (Majesty)
Aqdas #142: Verily, He revealed certain laws so that, in this Dispensation, the Pen of the Most High might have no need to move in aught but the glorification of His own transcendent Station and His most effulgent Beauty. Since, however, We have wished to evidence Our bounty unto you, We have, through the power of truth, set forth these laws with clarity and mitigated what We desire you to observe.
In other words, we have Transcendence, as we see with the first Group. Then, with Mercy (Teleological), we are allowed clarification, even through Questions, in many forms.
As we saw last time, we have science as a gift. One has (ought) to consider what is missing given the normal modes that are so limiting. Of course, when will those questions, implied by audacity, come to fore as deserving of attention?
FWU/Science: ... Science is the first emanation from God toward man. ... We have already stated that science or the attribute of scientific penetration is supernatural and that all other blessings of God are within the boundary of nature. ... Notwithstanding the gift of this supernatural power, it is most amazing that materialists still consider themselves within the bounds and captivity of nature. ...

Higher goals
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Perfection (Perfection)
In terms of motivation, we can know various things, such as why things are and how we are to do and with what to do. Too, there can be continual attuning of the focus as choice is always there. Actually, the accounting (HW #31) ought to be daily.
Questions may abound, but we can know that the means exist.
Aqdas #70: All that are on earth shall pass away, while good deeds alone shall endure; to the truth of My words God doth Himself bear witness.
Whence do we see this? That is, questions are of science.
Remarks:
10/02/2011 -- More on means.
12/05/2010 -- Is it not true that extreme positions on the axis of the mindful can lead to a god-like state-fulness?
12/06/2009 -- The Motivational implies goals and actions.

Motivational II
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Splendour (Perfection)
We're 14 months into the year and into the 2nd (Speech) of this group. We asked why Motivational for this group which will be followed by the Ascendant? Well, we saw that there is energy imparted in spring of each year, like a yearly measure.
Those early times, each year, are the Transcendent and Teleological. In the northern climes, we see the peak of the energy of summer in the Operational. Where, too, the fruits of this energy are abundant.
Then, the Motivational times are during the slowing down times, again in the northern climes, post harvesting and gathering. We see that much of the vegetative life goes into a suspended state, so to speak, as do some animals. In fact, many mammals do their retreat into hibernation.
The yearly changes, seasons, have been used as a metaphor for life. The juxtaposition of a cross-generational match is termed, May-October. So, it goes, too, for these Groups.
Somehow, it seems that this time is one for review. That is, from a sense of science, we would be looking at results. Then, when the Ascendant comes around, we would then work on rework of the necessary hypotheses.
Isn't it nice that we have these cycles always there?
Remarks:
11/21/2010 -- What motivates, indeed.

Month, Day: 166, Power, Dominion (Glory)
Month, Day: 166, Power, Loftiness (Beauty)
There might be some question about the name for this group which consists of Power, Speech, Questions, and Honour, whereas the others (Transcendent, Teleological, Operational) seem to more easily fit. Perhaps, that'll be addressed as the other months unfold.
We're almost done with Power which contained one of the Twin Days and which is a fairly central theme. Then, we will have the basis for science, namely Questions, following Speech and preceding Honour.

Yearly measure
Month, Day: 166, Will, Knowledge (Majesty)
Audacity poses questions about dynamics that need further study. What motivation? Consider the quote provided below in terms of a yearly push on the Baha day of Baha.
What effects could we discern with the proper model?
As we all know, as we age, the metaphor of the seasons for the changes that we experience is not just lightly correlated. And, though we know that the Creator's influence is of each moment, knowing that a special burst comes yearly would allow us to think about how we manage this for ourselves and for endeavors.
Too, we could use the insight to consider what the ways of science could know and show.
From the Aqdas (111): Happy the one who entereth upon the first day of the month of Bahá, the day which God hath consecrated to this Great Name. And blessed be he who evidenceth on this day the bounties that God hath bestowed upon him; he, verily, is of those who show forth thanks to God through actions betokening the Lord’s munificence which hath encompassed all the worlds. Say: This day, verily, is the crown of all the months and the source thereof, the day on which the breath of life is wafted over all created things. Great is the blessedness of him who greeteth it with radiance and joy. We testify that he is, in truth, among those who are blissful.
Finally, does the measure diminish, yearly, between Manifestations? Or, does it increase to offset the collection of flim-flam? Those are Teleological questions.
Remarks:
03/22/2022 -- Still at it. The yearly measure comes with the wafting mentioned in the Aqdas. Later, we saw group concepts applied. See Splendour/Glory from 179.
Audacity poses questions about dynamics that need further study. What motivation? Consider the quote provided below in terms of a yearly push on the Baha day of Baha.
What effects could we discern with the proper model?
As we all know, as we age, the metaphor of the seasons for the changes that we experience is not just lightly correlated. And, though we know that the Creator's influence is of each moment, knowing that a special burst comes yearly would allow us to think about how we manage this for ourselves and for endeavors.
Too, we could use the insight to consider what the ways of science could know and show.
From the Aqdas (111): Happy the one who entereth upon the first day of the month of Bahá, the day which God hath consecrated to this Great Name. And blessed be he who evidenceth on this day the bounties that God hath bestowed upon him; he, verily, is of those who show forth thanks to God through actions betokening the Lord’s munificence which hath encompassed all the worlds. Say: This day, verily, is the crown of all the months and the source thereof, the day on which the breath of life is wafted over all created things. Great is the blessedness of him who greeteth it with radiance and joy. We testify that he is, in truth, among those who are blissful.

05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.
05/09/2011 -- We need a constructive re-look.
04/04/2011 -- Yearly measure, in use (April, the month of potential).
03/21/2011 -- Year 165, Year 166, Year 167, Year 168
11/21/2010 -- What motivates, indeed. By time of the Motivational, how much of the yearly measure do we have left?
12/21/2009 -- More on the diagonal or square'd days.
12/06/2009 -- The Motivational implies goals and actions. Too, the day? Splendour, Splendour. Or, Baha, Baha. Seems as if each month recapitulates the year, in a sense (brings to mind the adage of ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny - suggesting some organic [living being, of course] analog?).

Attributes, again
Month, Day: Beauty, Names (Justice)
We starting the cycle again. So, here are the Groups which we go through with the Months and Days.
-- Transcendent (Splendour, Glory, Beauty, Grandeur)
-- Teleological (Light, Mercy, Words, Perfection)
-- Operational (Names, Might, Will, Knowledge)
-- Motivational (Power, Speech, Questions, Honour)
-- Ascendant (Sovereignty, Dominion, Loftiness)
Remarks:
12/06/2009 -- The Motivational implies goals and actions.
10/20/2009 -- Twin days.
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.

Motivational
Month, Day: Splendour, Speech (Independence)
Month, Day: Splendour, Questions (Glory)
Month, Day: Splendour, Honour (Beauty)
Add Power to the above to complete the group. These follow the Operational (Names, Might, Will, Knowledge).
Regards purpose, focus, limits and much more.
HW #I-40: O SON OF MAN! Wert thou to speed through the immensity of space and traverse the expanse of heaven, yet thou wouldst find no rest save in submission to Our command and humbleness before Our Face.
HW #I-69: O YE SONS OF SPIRIT! Ye are My treasury, for in you I have treasured the pearls of My mysteries and the gems of My knowledge. Guard them from the strangers amidst My servants and from the ungodly amongst My people.
Remarks:
11/24/2009 -- What motivates?
11/20/2009 -- This group is approaching.
10/15/2009 --Power, Speech, Questions, Honour
4V: There needeth none but thyself to make out an account against thee this day ... The Self of God standing within Him with laws ... "Hereafter We will show them Our signs in the regions of the earth, and in themselves, until it become manifest unto them that it is the truth"

More Questions
Month, Day: Sovereignty, Questions (Perfection)
Questions are a major theme, with the monthly renewal. Not that we cannot ask audacious questions, daily, in our review.
So, here are a few.
Remarks:
12/06/2009 -- The Motivational implies goals and actions.
08/16/2009 -- The Operational group is approaching, and ontology is primal. One area of focus, as suggested by this post, will be mind-body studies. Somehow, insights from the Writings ought to have importance, teleological and operational.
06/11/2009 -- Science and Religion.
02/06/2009 -- The Book that will be used to augment 7V4V, for some deep study.
If you look at the world, you see those with and those without. That applies to any attribute, yet money collection (the supposed rich state) and intelligence are a couple that are obvious in their possible measurements -- the former more so than the latter (thanks, Stephen Jay Gould, 1941-2002). But, in terms of the latter, the idiot on this side may very well be on an upper part of the above-mentioned hierarchies on the other. You see, the IQ (of which those who process better here and gloat thereby),as an operational means, has no bearing on the measuring a soul's worth; in fact, too much of the IQ can be as deadly as is money to the rich guy (parable of the camel and the eye's needle).
Why even mention this? Well, true science will be non-elitist and will be such that any who desires to do so can contribute. So, institutional comparative worthiness would take a back seat to the true human-based endeavor that will be necessary for us to really progress as inhabitants of space and time via nature's earth.
Too, time is only on this side. Let's say that as measured by the clocking mechanisms. Yet, as hierarchies imply, there is order. So, event ordering is very much a persistent phenomenon, even though each moment is really the whole.

Questions are a major theme, with the monthly renewal. Not that we cannot ask audacious questions, daily, in our review.
So, here are a few.
- -- There are hierarchies, in the Kingdom (to wit, see Wikipedia). Of course, we have divisions along all sorts of axes in Creation. These we can learn via science, in the most general view of our ability to know. Is that Kingdom heirarchy, by necessity, shown in the life in the natural world, that is, what we see within human existence? Why ask? Well, we are to strive. Accomplishment trinkets accrue in various situations.
- -- There is a weekly Attribute of Independence. How far does Independent Investigation of the Truth carry for individual endeavor? There is a balance, we know, since 'groups' are mentioned in several contexts in the Writings. But, look how the 'groupal' mind of science has seemed to have gone far astray. Hence, the necessity of audacity (as mentioned above and elsewhere) seems to be a given.
- -- In terms of the hierarchies (above), are these in any way related to the 'smarts' as we see them measured and demonstrated in the natural realm? Well, we could probably say not really and not be far off the mark. Iqan, 233: "The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit."
