Ascendant, Transcendent

Month, Day: 173, Loftiness, Splendour (Justice)

In the last of the Ascendant, we start with the Transcendent.

The other groups that are facing us are Teleological, Operational, and Motivational.

The first two (Transcendent, Teleological) deal with a Creation-wide view. Then, we get to creatures and ourselves (Operational, Motivational), before winding things up with the lift.

Ascendant, again

Month, Day: 173, Sovereignty, Splendour (Justice)

The long trek of the year ends with the Ascendant group that leads us toward the Transcendent.

The other groups are Teleological, Operational, and Motivational (which we just left).

Favorite month

Month, Day: 173, Questions, Glory (Perfection)

Without Questions, there would be no science.

With Questions, we can see that there is no month named Answers.

And, we get to revisit the topic every month.

Tests, 2016, again

Month, Day: 173, Speech, Light (Glory)

We said tests, last time.Sure enough,Americans went through something that was unprecedented and not over, yet. Helps to know to be uninvolved with politics. However, science says to look at things anthropologically.

The adage about history kept coming to mind. There are a whole lot of mindsets that do not seem to be grounded; too, changes, such as technology, can pull one from reason, even when reason seems to be at the core of it.

And, so, we go forward. Which direction? Who knows?

Tests, 2016

Month, Day: 173, Will, Questions (Perfection)

Americans are going through tests (a test?) the next four weeks. So, the larger picture attracts as a means to arise above the mud-slinging.

I like getting back to the Valleys (see Ontology from Honour). We need to think more of the level of spirits in regard to insights that might help science. Those little bits are there.

We do have limits as to what speech can convey (see But, of course). One hope is that executable code goes beyond that state (approximating being). That might be a serious bane, though. Except, it could teach, very well, just how much better we are (can be) at being than is anything artificial.
