   Unsatisfied with the choices of available magical groups in England at the time, they formed the IOT. They advertised in `New Equinox' and the group formed and progressed as previously explained. Ray Sherwin dropped out before Pete Carroll went on to form `The Pact'.

   So he had a hypothesis formation that the that this this extraordinary temple was an exercise in harmony and proportion. Now harmony and proportion at that time and still in any textbook any of any of you or any of your kids will be u will be given as as gospel as it were. The inventor of harmony and proportion was a Greek was was the the legendary Pythagoras. Doesn't matter that Pythagoras according to his own biographers uh supposedly spent 20 22 years studying in under the priests of Egypt but the Greeks and Pythagoras in particular is supposedly responsible for the invention of harmony and…

   (1993: 197) One problem with this suggestion has to do with how we are to understand the “intrinsic” but (allegedly) “non-causal” features in virtue of which the movements of the continental plates “resemble” the artificial models which the seismologists are able to manipulate. It is well-known that small scale models and simulations of naturally occurring phenomena that superficially resemble or mimic those phenomena may nonetheless fail to capture their causally relevant features because, for example, the models fail to “scale up”—because causal processes that are not represented in the mode…

   And such a theory has been defended. Ned Markosian (1998) argues that not only does brutalism, the doctrine that there are brute facts about when the x s compose a y , solve the Problem of the Many, the account of composition it implies fits more naturally with our intuitions about composition. It seems objectionable, in some not easy-to-pin-down way, to rely on brute facts in just this way. Here is how Terrence Horgan puts the objection: In particular, a good metaphysical theory or scientific theory should avoid positing a plethora of quite specific, disconnected, sui generis , compositional …

   >> Okay, hang on. Accidents creating regularity. How does that work? >> He called them frozen accidents. Think about the genetic code. Why is it this specific code mapping DNA codons to amino acids? It likely arose from a series of chance events early in life's history, but once it became established frozen, it created a stable regularity that all subsequent life built upon. >> I see. So the accident becomes a new rule, almost a historical contingency that shapes the future. >> That's a great way to put it. It becomes a fixed point. So the universe's complexity isn't ju…

   I have just started reading your site and was struck by the 1st Levee. So my question is does this mean that you are a believer in Antoine Bechamp's pleomorphic theory rather than Pastuer's germ theory? I would be interested in seeing a post on your views of the two! I believe in Bechamp! Ok back to your quilt…

   Finally, three balls of fire stre across the sky and exploded, creating earthquakelike shocks. The explosions were heard hundreds of kilometers away, and the forest burnt for months afterward. Eyewitness accounts of the fireballs. Now this is from another report that appeared in the planetarian the journal planetarian space science of January 2011. Karaka a probable mini tunguska. So eyewitness accounts of fireballs and explosions in the Karaka area Brazil in August 1930 led to the suggestion that a large meteorite had fallen. It was later discovered that a seismic event had occurred on the sa…

   Now magical and mystical thinking is quite different; in fact it is not half as interested in causality as is linear thought. Rather, it strives to give us an overall, holistic view of processes within our perceived space-time continuum; an overall view which includes the psychology of the observer to a far stronger degree than even modern physics seems to have achieved in spite of Heisenberg`s uncertainty principle and Einstein`s earlier theory of relativity. In other words, mythological thinking is not so much about literal ("alphabetic"?) truth but rather about the "feel" of things. For exa…

    This is quite an important point I shall refer to again later on.) History is, after all, the defining of our past own roots and our _present_ position within our linear space-time continuum in relation to past and future. Very often, unfortunately, the description and interpretation of history seem little more pathetic endeavour to obtain at least a minimum of objectivity in a basically chaotic universe. The expression "ordo ab chao" is more or less a summary of Western thought and Weltanschauung, of the issues straining and stressing the Western mind since ancient Greece. Chaos is considered…
