THERE IS NO ATTEMPT MADE TO DESCRIBE THE CREATIVE PROCESS REALISTICALLY

THE ACCOUNT IS SYMBOLIC AND SHOWS GOD CREATING THE WORLD BY MEANS OF LANGUAGE

AS THOUGH WRITING A BOOK BUT LANGUAGE ENTIRELY TRANSFORMED

THE MESSAGE OF CREATION IS CLEAR EACH LETTER OF

THE

ALPHABET

IS

GIVEN

A

NUMERICAL

VALUE BY COMBINING THE LETTERS WITH THE SACRED NUMBERS

REARRANGING THEM IN ENDLESS CONFIGURATIONS

THE MYSTIC WEANED THE MIND AWAY FROM THE NORMAL CONNOTATIONS OF WORDS

 

 

THE BULL OF MINOS
Leonard Cottrell 1953

THE QUEST CONTINUES

Page 90

" Out in the dark blue sea there lies a land called Crete a rich and lovely land washed by the waves on every side,
densely peopled and boasting ninety cities. One of the ninety towns is a great city called Knossos, and there, for nine years,
King Minos ruled and enjoyed the friendship of almighty Zeus.”

GOD & THE NEW PHYSICS

Paul Davies 1983

Page 72

6. Mind and Soul

'I think, therefore, I am.'
Rene Descartes

'I simply believe that some part of the human Self or Soul is not subject to the laws of space and time.'
Carl Gustav Jung

Whatever their differences of opinion about the nature of God, I know of no religion that does not teach that God is a mind. In the Christian religion God is omniscient — infinitely knowledgable. He is also infinitely free to act as he wishes. There can be no mind greater than God's, for God is the supreme being.
But what is mind?
This burning question has long been debated by theologians and philosophers. Today, however, the study of mind also comes within the province of science, through psychology and psychoanalysis, and more recently in brain research, computing and so-called 'artificial intelligence'. Some of these new developments have cast a wholly different light on the age-old enigma of the mind and its relation to the material world. The consequences for religion are profound. The only minds of which we have direct experience are those associated with brains (and arguably computers). Yet nobody seriously suggests that God, "or departed souls, have a brain. Does the notion of a disembodied mind, let alone a mind completely decoupled from the physical universe, make any sense? In this chapter and the next we shall examine the topics of consciousness, the self and the soul, and ask whether mind can survive bodily death.

Page 72

It is helpful to begin by drawing a clear distinction between the mental and physical worlds. The physical world is populated by material objects that occupy locations in space and have qualities like extension, mass, electric charge and so on. These objects are not inert, but move about, change and evolve in accordance with dynamical laws, the study of which forms a branch of physics. The physical world is (at least to a large extent) a public world, accessible by observation to everybody.
In contrast the mental world is populated not by material objects but by thoughts. Thoughts are obviously not located in space, but seem to occupy a universe of their own which is, moreover, a private universe, inaccessible to other observers. Thoughts can change, evolve, interact and otherwise behave kinetically in a variety of ways, the study of which forms a branch of psychology.
So far none of this appears controversial. Problems arise, however, when the physical and mental worlds interact. Our universe of thoughts is not isolated from the physical universe around us, but strongly coupled to it. Through our senses our minds receive a constant stream of information which proceeds to generate mental activity, either by stimulating the appearance of new thoughts or reshaping existing ones. If, when reading the sentence, you hear a loud bang front outside, the thought 'a tile has dropped from the roof' or perhaps 'a car has backfired' will intrude into your deliberations. The physical world therefore, acts as the source of new thoughts and has the effect of rearranging the mental world.
Conversely the mental world acts on the physical world through the phenomenon of volition. You decide to investigate the bang, and your legs move, the book is put down, doors open. The thoughts in your mind trigger physical activity via the intermediary of your body which then rearranges material objects in your environment. Indeed, nearly everything we ordinarily see in our environment is the result of mental activity realized through physical operations. Houses, roads, wheat fields, windmills, all originated with some intellectual activity involving planning, and decisions being converted into 'concrete reality'.
Though this all may seem obvious, there are already some disturbing features creeping in. What is the mechanism whereby matter acts on mind and, worse still, mind on matter?
Let us trace how a particular thought is 'implanted' in the mind by An external stimulus — the loud noise, for example. The sound waves Impinge on the ear drum and set it into motion. The motion is /Page 74/ transmitted through three delicate bones to the cochlea, whereupon a membrane receives the vibration and imparts it to a fluid inside the inner ear. The fluid in turn disturbs some sensitive filaments which generate electric impulses. The impulses travel along the auditory nerve pathways to the brain, where the electrical signal encounters a complex electrochemical network and the sensation of sound is registered. But how? How does the straightforward, if complex, chain of physical interactions suddenly promote a mental event — the sensation of sound? What is it about that particular electrochemical pattern in the brain that makes you actually hear something, and thereby trigger a sequence of thoughts?
Still more paradoxical is the response. You decide to investigate the sound. Your legs move — how? Brain cells fire, messages buzz along nerves, muscles tense; you move.
How would a physicist view this activity in your brain? In the first instance as processes in a complex electrical circuit, with input and output connections represented by the various nerve pathways to the sense organs and muscles. Being thoroughly familiar with the laws of electrical circuitry, the physicist might suppose that, if he could obtain a comprehensive knowledge of the electrical condition of your brain (a complete wiring diagram and detailed monitoring of the input signals) then by a stupendous computation he would be able to predict accurately the output signals of this', electrical network and thereby infer what you will do next. Will you investigate the noise or not? The electrical signals will tell him.
Now nobody would suppose for one moment that such a prediction could ever be achieved. The point is, that viewed as a tangled mass of electrical circuitry, the brain seems to be completely deterministic, and therefore, in principle at least, predictable. Nerve cells fire to command your legs to move because the pattern of currents in the circuitry has a certain form. A different pattern would fail to trigger the cells and you would remain reading.
The paradox here is that these seemingly down-to-Earth physical events involving ordinary electrical impulses are paralleled by mental events: 'What is that sound? Has something broken? Should I investigate? Yes' — and the brain cells activate. But although the mental description thus far is consistent with the physical, there is a crucial element that does not tie in; namely, the fact that you decide to investigate the noise. The motion of the legs, setting aside of the book, and so on is the result of a conscious act of volition, a choice. Where is there room in the deterministic predictive laws of electrical circuitry for free will?.

Page 75

One answer is to view the mind as rather like the operator in control of a complicated machine. Just as a power station operator can push various buttons and light up a city, so can the mind fire the relevant brain cells (neurons) to activate the body in accordance with its decisions. But how does the conscious decision to investigate a noise cause the relevant brain cells to fire? What of the laws of electrical circuitry that are supposed to already determine the output signals? Are these laws violated? Can the mind somehow reach into the physical world of electrons and atoms, brain cells and nerves, and create electrical forces? Does mind really act on matter in defiance of the fundamental principles of physics? Are there, indeed, two causes of movement in the material world: one due to ordinary physical processes and the other due to mental processes?
The puzzling issue of free will and the mechanism of interaction of mind on matter will be dealt with more fully in Chapter 10. However, our problems do not rest there. We still have not discovered what consciousness is and how it arises. Are chimpanzees conscious? Dogs? Rats? Spiders? Worms? Bacteria? Computers? Is a human foetus conscious at eight months? One month? One second? Few people would answer yes to all these. So does consciousness grow gradually, is it a quality that can be quantified in some way, so that on a scale of 100 for an adult human we may assign, say, 90 for a chimpanzee, 50 for a dog,5 for a rat, 2 for a five-month-old foetus, 0.1 for a spider and so on? Or Is there a 'threshold of development' at which consciousness abruptly blossoms forth like a fuel that suddenly ignites at a critical temperature?
How can we recognize consciousness when we see it? Each of us directly experiences our own consciousness but, being located in a private, non-physical universe of thoughts and sensations it is not possible for our consciousness to be observed by anyone else. Instead, one can only infer consciousness in others through their behaviour and through communication with them via the physical universe. Jones may tell Smith that he, Jones, is conscious and Smith, observing that Jones seems a normal sort of fellow and is conducting his dialogue in a coherent way, believes him. If Jones were mute, or only spoke an obscure dialect of Eskimo, Smith would still feel confident in drawing the same conclusion through observation of Jones's conduct, with special attention to his response to stimuli, execution of complex tasks and so on.
In the case of a dog, we are on shakier ground. Dog-human cornmunication is minimal and can be ambiguous, and much dog-behaviour /Page 76/ seems mindless, instinctive. Yet few dog-owners would be prepared to deny that their pets are conscious and have minds, albeit less developed (in some obscure sense) than humans. But when it comes to lower creatures — spiders for example — it would be very hard to make a case that they have minds. True, they still display behaviour, but it is easy to be convinced that it is automatic programmed by instinct.
In considering this downward progression, it is easy to be persuaded that there is an asymmetry between the way in which the active and passive aspects of mind peter out. To be conscious in the sense of registering sense-data somehow seems less accomplished than the ability to plan, decide and act. A new-born baby undoubtedly experiences sensations resulting from bodily stimuli, but is almost entirely passive in this awareness. Perhaps spiders likewise know what's going on around them but have an extremely limited capacity to respond by anything other than through a reflex action. It is often said that the ability to assess situations, plan and act accordingly, is uniquely human. That is surely a fallacy (particularly if extraterrestrial intelligent life exists). However, it may be that these more active qualities of the mind have to do not merely with awareness, but self-awareness (a topic discussed in the next chapter). It could be that the concept of the self is not well developed in animals.
The rapid development of powerful electronic computers has directed attention as never before to the mechanisms that underlie human thinking capabilities, and has led to some searching analyses of the relation between mind and brain. At the centre of this study is the simple yet loaded question: Can machines think?
This is not the place to review the vast literature and multiplicity of opinions about so-called 'artificial intelligence'. All experts are at least agreed that, at this time, even the most advanced computers fail to resemble the human mind in operation. As is well known, computers can usually out perform humans in arithmetic, filing and chess playing, but they still under-achieve in the composition of music and poetry. This disparity has less to do with the structural hardware of computers than the way in which they are programmed (the software). Most computers are designed to perform rather specific low-level tasks (such as huge amounts of simple arithmetic), where speed and accuracy are the overriding criteria. A computer which makes mistakes, sulks, has 'off' days or behaves in an otherwise erratic manner is of little use to most operators, though the possession of such irrational characteristics might enable it to more closely approximate /Page 77/ human intelligence. Of course, nobody has the slightest idea how to program a computer with such human qualities, or indeed whether such a possibility exists. Nor is very much known about the operation of the human brain in this regard.
In spite of current technological limitations, the question of whether (in principle at least) machines can have 'minds' is a burning one. Anyone who has had the experience of using a powerful computer will have soon learned that, in a limited sense, it can communicate with its operator in a quasi-human fashion. Modern 'interactive' techniques enable a sophisticated dialogue to take place, on a question and answer basis, between man and machine, though the range of conversation is severely limited.
I have argued that the existence of other minds than our own can only be deduced by analogy. If one asks the question: 'How do I know that Smith has a mind?' the answer can only be: 'I have a mind, Smith behaves as I do, talks as I do, professes to have a mind, as I do, so I conclude he has a mind as I have.' But this reasoning could equally well apply to a machine as a human being. As you can never occupy the mind of another human being and experience their consciousness at first hand (and even if you could the occupied person would no longer be him, but you), any assumption about the existence of other minds is necessarily an act of faith. So the answer to the question 'Can machines think ?' must be that one has no reason to rank men above machines on grounds of performance (in certain intellectual tasks) which is the only external criterion by which one can assess the machine's 'internal' experiences. If a machine could be made to respond in the same way as a human being to all external influences then there would be no observable grounds for claiming that the machine did not think, or did not have a consciousness. Moreover, if we are willing to concede that dogs think, or that spiders or ants possess some rudimentary consciousness, then even presently available computers could be regarded as conscious in that limited sense.
In 1950, the mathematician Alan Turing addressed the question 'Can machines think?' in an article entitled 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence' in the journal Mind. He suggested a simple test that would reveal the answer. Turing called it the 'imitation game'. The idea is that a man goes into one room, and a woman into another. An interrogator communicates with them via a teletype contraption and tries, by using a question and answer sequence, to decide which respodent is male and which female. The man and woman are asked to try and persuade the interrogator that each is the woman thus, the /Page 78/man must be a knowledgable and accomplished liar. Turing's machine intelligence test now consists of replacing the man by the machine in this game. If it succeeds in fooling the interrogator that it is a woman, Turing maintains that the machine really does think.
A number of arguments have been deployed against the claim that such full-blown artificial intelligence is possible. One line of reasoning is that computers, locked as they are in strictly rational, logical modes of operation, are inevitably cold, calculating, heartless, mindless, soulless, unemotional automata. Being purely automatic in operation, they will achieve only what has already been programmed into them by their human operators. No computer can take off and become a self-motivated creative individual, able to love, laugh, cry or exercise free will. It is no less a slave to its controllers than a motor car.
The trouble with this argument is that it can backfire. At the neural (brain cell) level, the human brain is equally mechanical and, subject to rational principles, yet this does not prevent us from experiencing feelings ofindecision, confusion, happiness, boredom and irrationality.
The principle religious objection to the idea of artificial intelligence is that machines do not have souls. The concept of the soul, however, is hopelessly vague. Early ideas were inextricably bound up with the concept of a life-force — some vital, animating influence. The Bible, especially the Old Testament, has very little to say on the subject, which seems to owe its origin more to the Greek classical tradition, under the influence of philosophers such as Plato. Early biblical references present the soul as synonymous with breath or life, but the concept sharpens somewhat in the New Testament, where the soul comes to be identified with the self and takes on the features that we might today call the mind. Indeed, the use of the word soul has declined in the modern era, and is now confined mainly to theological circles. Even the Catholic Encyclopedia settles for a definition of the soul as the 'source of thought activity'.' The relation between soul and mind has therefore been rather vague, and they will be used interchangably in what follows.
Central to religious doctrine is the idea that the soul (or mind) is a thing, and a sharp distinction must be drawn between body and soul. This so-called dualist theory of the mind (or soul) was developed by Descartes and has been widely incorporated in Christian thinking. It also comes closest to the belief of the ordinary man. Indeed, so ingrained in our culture and language are the ideas of dualism that Gilbert Ryle in his book The Concept of Mind calls it 'the official doctrine'.

Page 79
What are the features of the dualist theory of the mind? The 'official doctrine' goes something like this. The human being consists of two distinct, separate kinds of thing: the body and the soul, or mind. The body acts as a sort of host or receptacle for the mind, or perhaps even as a prison from which liberation may be sought through spiritual advancement or death. The mind is coupled to the body through the brain, which it uses (via the bodily senses) to acquire and store information about the world. It also uses the brain as a means to exercise its volitions, by acting on the world in the fashion described earlier in this chapter. However, the mind (or soul) is not located inside the brain, or any other part of the body; or indeed anywhere in space at all. (I am discounting here the 'unofficial' doctrine of some mystics and spiritualists who claim to witness some sort of aetheric body or soul in close spatial association with the physical body.)
An important feature of this picture is that the mind is a thing; perhaps even more specifically, a substance. Not a physical substance, but a tenuous, elusive, aetherial sort of substance, the stuff that thoughts and dreams are made of, free and independent of ordinary ponderous matter.
Descartes's conception of body and soul is summarized by R.J. Hirst as follows:
The essential notions seem to be: first that there are two distinct orders of being or substances, the mental and the material. Mind or mental substance is neither perceptible by the senses nor extended in space; it is intelligent and purposive and its essential characteristic is thought, or rather consciousness.'
Ryle expresses it thus:
Though the human body is an engine, it is not quite an ordinary engine, since some of its workings are governed by another engine inside it — this interior governor-engine being one of a very special sort. It is invisible, inaudible and it has no size or weight. It cannot be taken to bits and the laws it obeys are not those known to ordinary engineers.'
Ryle dubs this interior governor 'the ghost in the machine'.
The soul's insubstantial quality would appear to be necessary for two reasons. First, we do not see souls or detect their physical presence in any direct way, nor are they revealed during brain surgery. Secondly, the world of matter must comply with the laws of physics which, on the macroscopic level (i.e. ignoring ,quantum effects) are deterministic and mechanical, and hence incompatible with free will -- a fundamental attribute of the soul. (The reasoning is mistaken, as /Page 80/ we shall see in due course.) But these arguments only tell us what the soul is not, not what it is. We get the suspicion that the idea of a soul or mind as a thing has been floated out of nowhere, and given a spurious and illusory impression of reality simply by attaching meaningless words to it. The mind is not mechanical, so it is 'non-mechanical', as though this adjective conveys some sort of meaning for us. According to Ryle, 'Minds are not bits of clockwork, they are just bits of non-clock work '.4
Difficulties also lie in store when we try to understand where, precisely, the soul is located. If it is not to be found in space, where is it? (It is interesting to note, however, that Descartes believed the small pineal gland in the brain was the seat of the soul, or at least was the structure that provides the elusive physical link between mind and brain.) Can the new physics, with its weird concepts of spacewarps and higher dimensions provide a suitable location?
We have seen how physicists think of space and time as a sort of four-dimensional sheet (or perhaps balloon) with the possibility of other disconnected sheets. Could the soul reside in one of these other universes? Alternatively, spacetime may be envisaged as enfolded by, or embedded in, a higher dimensional space, much as a two-dimensional surface or sheet is embedded in three-dimensional space. Might not the soul inhabit a location in this higher dimensional space which is still (geometrically speaking) aose to our physical spacetime, but not actually in it? From this higher dimensional vantage point the soul could 'lock on' to the body of an individual in spacetime, without itself being part of spacetime.
For those who wish to believe that departed souls travel to Heaven, a more complicated arrangement would be necessary, for presumably the place which souls inhabit during the Earthly life of an individual is not the same as Paradise. If such ideas strain credulity as much as geometrical intuition, it is surely because of the dubious assumption that the soul has a location. To say that the soul occupies a place means that it exists in some sort of space, either the one we ordinarily perceive, or some other. In that case one may then ask questions about the size, shape, orientation and motion of the soul, all concepts that are totally inappropriate to something composed of thoughts rather than materials.
But the fund of ideas from modern physics is not yet exhausted. As explained in Chapter 3, some physicists now think of space and time as derived, rather than primitive concepts. They believe that spacetime is built up out of subunits (not places or moments, but abstract entities) /Page 81/ that would also embody quantum features. It could then be that the physical universe extends beyond (in a figurative sense) what we ordinarily call spacetime; that only a fraction of these subunits have come together in an organized way to produce spacetime, leaving `elsewhere' a sort of ocean of disconnected bits. Could this ocean be the realm of the soul? If so, the soul would not occupy a place, because the subunits would not be assembled into places, so concepts like extension or orientation would be meaningless. Indeed, even topological concepts such as inside, outside, between, connected and disconnected, might be undefined. I leave the question open.
Further problems crop up when one turns to the question of time. A soul is not in space, but is it in time? Presumably the answer is yes. If the soul is the source of our perceptions, then this must include our perception of time. Moreover, many recognizably human mental processes are explicitly time-dependent: planning, hoping, regretting, anticipating, for instance.
There would be grave logical difficulties with a timeless soul. What meaning do we then attach to the soul's existence after death, if the before-after relation is transcended by souls? What about the soul's situation before the birth of the body? This issue is tackled by the Catholic Encyclopedia with a rare touch of humour:
The notion that God has a supply of souls that are not any body's in particular until He infuses them into human embryos is entirely unwarranted by any evidence . . . The soul is created by God at the time it is infused into matter.5
The message is unmistakable. There are times (before birth) when the soul does not exist. Such notions clearly conflict with the idea of the soul transcending time.
The same basic temporal dilemma runs through all discussions of immortality. On the one hand is the desire for a continuation of the personality after Earthly life has ended — not merely in a frozen or timeless existence, but involving some sort of activity. Jesus spoke of 'life everlasting', which carries connotations of the unending passage of time.
On the other hand, such notions are strongly tied to our perception of time in the physical world, and do not accord well with the alleged separation of the physical and spiritual realms. The difficulty is exacerbated if one entertains the possibility (to be discussed in Chapter 15) that there may actually be an end to time: there may be no 'everlasting' anyway.
The arguments presented here, and others, have suggested to many /Page 82/ people that the concept of the soul or mind and its immortality is at best wrong and at worst incoherent.
Several alternatives to dualism have been discussed by philosophers. At one extreme is materialism which denies the existence of mind altogether. The materialist believes that mental states and operations are nothing but physical states and operations. In the field of psychology materialism becomes what is known as behaviourism, which proclaims that all humans behave in a purely mechanical way in response to external stimuli. At the other extreme is the philosophy of idealism which asserts that it is the physical world that does not exist; everything is perception.
It seems to me that the dualist theory falls into the trap of seeking a substance (the mind) to explain what is really an abstract concept, not an object. The temptation to reduce abstract concepts to things is apparent throughout the history of science and philosophy, illustrated by discredited concepts like phlogiston, the fluid theory of heat, the luminiferous aether and the life-force. In all these cases the associated phenomena require explanation in terms of the abstract, such as energy or fields.
The fact that a concept is abstract rather than substantial does not render it somehow unreal or illusory. A person's nationality cannot be weighed or measured, it does not occupy a location inside their bodies, and yet it is a meaningful and important part of their make-up as anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves stateless knows only too well. Concepts like usefulness, organization, entropy and information do not involve 'things' in the sense of objects, but relationships between, and conditions of, objects.
The fundamental error of dualism is to treat body and soul as rather like two sides of a coin, whereas they belong to totally different categories. Ryle blames such a category mistake for all the muddle, confusion and paradox concerning the mind and its relation to the body:
It is perfectly proper to say, in one logical tone of voice, that there exist minds and to say, in another logical tone of voice, that there exist bodies. But these expressions do not indicate two different species of existence.'
The statements 'there exist rocks' and 'there exist Wednesdays' are both correct, but it would be meaningless to place rocks and Wednesdays alongside each other and discuss their interrelation. Or, to use one of Ryle's analogies, it would be absurd to discuss whether there had been any discourse between the House of Commons and the British /Page 83/ Constitution. These institutions belong to different conceptual levels.
Ryle thus anticipates much of the 'holistic' discussion of recent years. As we saw in the previous chapter, the relation between mind and body is similar to that between an ant colony and ants, or between the plot of a novel and the letters of the alphabet. Mind and body are not two components of a duality, but two entirely different concepts drawn from different levels in a hierarchy of description. We are back to holism versus reductionism once more.
Many of the old problems of dualism fall away once it is appreciated that abstract, high-level concepts can be equally as real as the low-level structures that support them, without any mysterious extra substances or ingredients. Just as a life-force is an unnecessary addition for matter to become animate, so a soul-substance is unnecessary for matter to become conscious:
Our world is filled with things that are neither mysterious and ghostly nor simply constructed out of the building blocks of physics. Do you believe in voices? How about haircuts? Are there such things? What are they? What, in the language of the physicist, is a hole — not an exotic black hole, but just a hole in a piece of cheese, for instance? Is it a physical thing? What is a symphony? Where in space and time does 'The Star Spangled Banner' exist? Is it nothing but some ink trails on some paper in the Library of Congress? Destroy that paper and the anthem would still exist. Latin still exists, but it is no longer a living language. The language of the cavepeople of France no longer exists at all. The game of bridge is less than a hundred years old. What sort of a thing is it? It is not animal, vegetable, or mineral.
These things are not physical objects with mass, or a chemical composition, but they are not purely abstract objects either objects like the number ir, which is immutable and cannot be located in space and time. These things have birthplaces and histories. They can change, and things can happen to them. They can move about — much the way a species, a disease, or an epidemic can. We must not suppose that science teaches us that every thing anyone would ever want to take seriously is identifiable as a collection of particles moving about in space and time. Some people may think it is just common sense (or just good scientific thinking) to suppose you are nothing but a particular living, physical organism — a moving mound of atoms — but in fact this idea exhibits a lack of scientific imagination, not hard-headed sophistication. One doesn't have to believe in ghosts to /Page 84/ believe in selves that have an identity that transcends any particular living body.'
The brain consists of billions ofneurons, buzzing away, oblivious of the overall plan (like the ants in the colony discussed in the previous chapter). This is the physical, mechanical, world of electrochemical hardware. On the other hand we have thoughts, feelings, emotions, volitions and so on. This higher level, holistic, mental world is equally oblivious of the brain cells; we can happily think while being totally unaware of any help from our neurons. But the fact that the lower level is ruled by logic need not contradict the fact that the upper mental level can be illogical and emotional. Hofstadter has given a vivid illustration of this neural-mental complementarity:
Say you are having a hard time making up your mind whether to order a cheeseburger or a pineappleburger. Does this imply that your neurons are also balking, having difficulty deciding whether or not to fire? Of course not. Your hamburger-confusion is a high-level state which fully depends on the efficient firing of thousands of neurons in very organized ways.'
To use an anology, a competently written novel will consist of a sequence of grammatical constructions conforming to rather precise logical rules of language and expression. Yet this does not prevent the characters in the novel from loving and laughing, or behaving in a completely unruly way. To claim that because the book is built out of logical word constructions obliges the story itself to comply with rigid logical principles would be absurd. It is to confuse two distinct levels of description. MacKay has also emphasized the importance of avoiding level-confusion when discussing neural versus mental activity: 'The idea that one and the same situation may need two or more accounts, each complete at its own logical level, may sound abstract and difficult. But as we have seen, it can be illustrated by numerous examples.' Discussing his analogy of the illuminated advertising display which is completely explicable in terms of electrical circuit theory, MacKay points out that it has a complementary description in terms of the commercial message: 'When properly disciplined, these (two descriptions) are not rivals, but complementary, in the sense that each reveals an aspect which is there to be reckoned with, but is unmentioned in the other.'
Thus, when it comes to the mind:
The notion, popularized by writers like Teilhard de Chardin, that' if men are conscious there must be some traces of consciousness in atoms, is quite without rational foundation . . . Consciousness /Page 85/ is not something we expect to be forced to recognize as the end-product of an argument about the behaviour of physical particles . .
In more modern parlance, the mind is 'holistic'.
None of this, of course precludes the possibility of artificial minds, thinking machines, and so forth. It is curious that many people who readily accept that their pets have minds shudder at the thought of a computer with a mind. Perhaps it is an egocentric reaction to the threat that one day computers may have minds of greater intellectual power than our own. Or perhaps it is more subtle.
The two-level (or multi-level) description of mind and body is a great improvement on the old idea of dualism (mind and body as two distinct substances) or materialism (mind does not exist). It is a philosophy that is rapidly gaining ground with the emergence of what are known as the cognitive sciences: artificial intelligence, computing science, linguistics, cybernetics and psychology. All these fields of enquiry are concerned with systems that process information in one way or another, whether man or machine. The development of concepts and language associated with computers, such as the distinction between hardware and software, has opened up new perspectives on the nature of thought and consciousness. It has forced scientists to think more clearly than ever before about the mind.
These scientific advances have been matched by the appearance of a new philosophy of mind, closely tied to the ideas presented above, called functionalism. Functionalists recognize that the essential ingredient of mind is not the hardware — the stuff your brain is made of or the physical processes that it employs — but the software — the organization of the stuff, or the 'program'. They do not deny that the brain is a machine, and that neurons fire purely for electrical reasons there are no mental causes of physical processes. Yet they still appeal to causal relations between mental states: very crudely, thoughts cause thoughts, notwithstanding the fact that, at the hardware level, the causal links are already forged.
That there is no incompatibility between the causal connections at the hardware and software levels is taken for granted by most computer programmers. In one breath they will say: 'The computer is simply a lot of circuitry and anything it can do is determined by the laws of electricity. Its output is an automatic consequence of its following predetermined electrical pathways.' Then they will talk about the computer solving equations, making comparisons and decisions and arriving at conclusions based on information processes, /Page 86/ i.e. pushing ideas round. So it is possible to live with two different levels of causal description — hardware and software — without ever having to grapple with how the software acts on the hardware. The old conundrum of how the mind acts on the body is seen to be just a muddle of conceptual levels. We never ask 'How does a computer program make its circuits solve the equation?' Nor do we need to ask how thoughts trigger neurons to produce bodily responses.
What does functionalism imply for religion?
It seems to be something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand functionalism denies that mind is uniquely human, and claims that machines can also think and feel, at least in principle. It is hard to reconcile that viewpoint with the traditional notion of God endowing man with a soul. On the other hand, by liberating mind from the confines of the human body, it leaves open the question of immortality:
The software description of the mind does not logically require neurons . . . it allows for the existence of disembodied minds . . . Functionalism does not rule out the possibility, however remote it may be, of mechanical and ethereal systems having mental states and processes.10
Functionalism solves at a stroke most of the traditional queries about the soul. What stuffis the soul made of? The question is as meaningless as asking what stuffcitizenship or Wednesdays are made of. The soul is a holistic concept. It is not made of stuff at all.
Where is the soul located? Nowhere. To talk of the soul as being in a place is as misconceived as trying to locate the number seven, or Beethoven's fifth symphony. Such concepts are not in space at all.
What of the problems about time and the soul? Does existence in time but not space make any sense?
Here the issue is more subtle. We frequently talk about rising unemployment or changing fashions, implying the time-dependence of things that cannot be meaningfully pinned down at a distinct place. There seems to be no reason why the mind cannot evolve with time even though it is not to be found anywhere in space.
We may therefore choose to reject the belief that mind is nothing but brain cell activity, for that is to fall into the reductionist trap. Nevertheless, it seems that the existence of the mind is supported by that activity, and so the question arises of how disembodied minds can exist. To resort yet again to analogy, a novel is built out of words, but the story could equally well be stored vocally on magnetic tape, coded on punched cards or digitally on computer, for example. Can the mind /Page 87/ survive the death of the brain by being transferred to some other mechanism or system? Clearly this would be possible in principle.
Most people, however, do not contemplate the survival of their entire personality; so much of our makeup ig tied to our bodily needs and capabilities. Sexuality, for example, in the absence of a body or a need for procreation, would be ridiculous. Many would also not wish for the negative aspects of their personality — the greed, jealousy, hatred and so forth — to survive. The enduring core of mind would have to be stripped of its more obviously bodily associations and unpleasant features. But would anything then be left? What about personal identity — the self?

IN SEARCH OF ZARATHUSTRA

Paul Kriwaczek 1988

"The beautiful deathbed speech invented for Cyrus by Xenophon"

Page 183

"The everlasting God above, who beholds all things, with whom is all power, who upholds the order of this universe,

unmarred, unageing, unerring, unfathomable in beauty and in splendour, fear Him my sons, and never yield to sin or

wickedness, in thought, in word, or in deed. And after the Almighty, I would have you revere the whole race of man, as it

renews itself for ever; for God has not hidden you in the darkness, and your, deeds will be manifest in the eyes of all

mankind. If they be righteous and free from iniquity, they will blazen forth your power; but if you meditate evil against

each other you will forfeit the confidence of every man."

CITY OF REVELATION

John Michell 1972

Page 169

"The great alchemists, whose ultimate aspiration was to procure the birth of a divinity among men found it necessary first to invoke within themselves the spirit they wished to share with others. In the same tradition Plato wrote that the man who aquires the art of stereometry, the likening of unlike things which is function of the canon, sanctifies not only himself but also the city and the age in which he lives. The thought behind these various expressions was that the state of a society is determined by the individuals who comprise it; that the cosmic influences are manifest on earth through the medium of the human mind, and this is the instrument by which they may be controlled and held in balance. For the instument to be effective, it requires that the individual become aware of the current influences to which he is subject, and to this end the canon was devised; for by analogy with the dynamics of geometrical and numerological relationships, the world of phenomena is revealed as the product of archetyple forces, whose behaviour in any circumstances is predicatable once the nature is understood."

Apophenia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations where appropriate. (February 2008)

Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data. The term was coined in 1958 by Klaus Conrad,[1] who defined it as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness".

While observations of relevant work environments and human behaviors in these environments is a very important first step in coming to understand any new domain, this activity is in and of its self not sufficient to constitute scientific research. It is fraught with problems of subjective bias in the observer. We (like the experts we study) often see what we expect to see, we interpret the world through our own personal lens. Thus we are extraordinarily open to the trap of apophenia.
—Klaus Conrad , A Cognitive Approach to Situation Awareness: Theory and Application
In statistics, apophenia would be classed as a Type I error (false positive, false alarm, caused by an excess in sensitivity). Apophenia is often used as an explanation of paranormal and religious claims, and can also explain a belief in pseudoscience[citation needed].

Conrad originally described this phenomenon in relation to the distortion of reality present in psychosis, but it has become more widely used to describe this tendency in healthy individuals without necessarily implying the presence of neurological differences or mental illness.

In the case of autistic spectrum disorders, including Asperger syndrome and individuals who are autistic savants, individuals may in fact be aware of patterns (such as those present in complex systems, large numbers, music, etc) that are infrequently noticed by neurotypical people. Rather than being aware of patterns that do not exist, autistic individuals may be aware of meaningful patterns within situations that appear meaningless to others.

[edit] Examples

The identification of a face on the surface of Mars is an example of pareidoliac apophenia.[edit] Pareidolia
Main article: Pareidolia
Pareidolia is a type of apophenia involving the finding of images or sounds in random stimuli. For example, hearing a ringing phone whilst taking a shower. The noise produced by the running water gives a random background from which the patterned sound of a ringing phone might be 'produced'.

Recent real-world examples: the 'finding' of a cross inside a halved potato, the 'appearance' of Jesus and Mary inside a halved orange, Jesus' face on a piece of toast or in the frost on a car window.

[edit] Fiction
Postmodern novelists and film-makers have reflected on apophenia-related phenomena, such as paranoid narration or fuzzy plotting (e.g., Vladimir Nabokov's "Signs and Symbols", Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 and V., Alan Moore's Watchmen, Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum, William Gibson's Pattern Recognition, James Curcio's Join My Cult, Arturo Pérez-Reverte's The Club Dumas, The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, and the films Conspiracy Theory, Darren Aronofsky's π, A Beautiful Mind, The Number 23 and The Nines). The conspiracy-obsessed superhero The Question is accused of suffering from apophenia in "Double Date,"[2] an episode of the animated TV series Justice League Unlimited. Originally, Alan Moore's character Rorschach, from the graphic novel Watchmen, is patterned after The Question.

As narrative is one of our major cognitive instruments for structuring reality, there is some common ground between apophenia and narrative fallacies such as hindsight bias. Since pattern recognition may be related to plans, goals, and ideology, and may be a matter of group ideology rather than a matter of solitary delusion, the interpreter attempting to diagnose or identify apophenia may have to face a conflict of interpretations.[citation needed]

Why People See Faces When There Are None: Pareidolia ...
https://www.psychologytoday.com/.../why-people-see-faces-when-there-are-none-par...

9 Aug 2016 - I knew that this tendency for all humans to perceive a face or pattern where one actually doesn't exist is called pareidolia. Part of the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia is similar to the Rorschach Inkblot Test, where one unconsciously projects one's feelings, attitudes, and prior experiences onto an ..

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/08/pareidolia.../260760/

7 Aug 2012 - This is an example of a phenomenon known as pareidolia, the human tendency to read significance into random or vague stimuli (both visual and auditory). The term comes from the Greek words "para", meaning beside or beyond, and "eidolon", meaning form or image.

 

 

BBC - Future - Neuroscience: why do we see faces in everyday objects?
www.bbc.com/future/story/20140730-why-do-we-see-faces-in-objects

30 Jul 2014 - Pareidolia, as this experience is known, is by no means a recent phenomenon. Leonardo da Vinci described seeing characters in natural markings on stone walls, which he believed could help inspire his artworks. In the 1950s, the Bank of Canada had to withdraw a series of banknotes because a grinning ...

Simulacrum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the term. For the album by John Zorn, see Simulacrum (album).
A simulacrum (plural: simulacra from Latin: simulacrum, which means "likeness, similarity") is a representation or imitation of a person or thing.[1] The word was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god. By the late 19th century, it had gathered a secondary association of inferiority: an image without the substance or qualities of the original.[2] Philosopher Fredric Jameson offers photorealism as an example of artistic simulacrum, where a painting is sometimes created by copying a photograph that is itself a copy of the real.[3] Other art forms that play with simulacra include trompe-l'œil,[4] pop art, Italian neorealism, and French New Wave.[3]

Philosophy[edit]
The simulacrum has long been of interest to philosophers. In his Sophist, Plato speaks of two kinds of image making. The first is a faithful reproduction, attempted to copy precisely the original. The second is intentionally distorted in order to make the copy appear correct to viewers. He gives the example of Greek statuary, which was crafted larger on the top than on the bottom so that viewers on the ground would see it correctly. If they could view it in scale, they would realize it was malformed. This example from the visual arts serves as a metaphor for the philosophical arts and the tendency of some philosophers to distort truth so that it appears accurate unless viewed from the proper angle.[5] Nietzsche addresses the concept of simulacrum (but does not use the term) in the Twilight of the Idols, suggesting that most philosophers, by ignoring the reliable input of their senses and resorting to the constructs of language and reason, arrive at a distorted copy of reality.[6]
Postmodernist French social theorist Jean Baudrillard argues that a simulacrum is not a copy of the real, but becomes truth in its own right: the hyperreal. Where Plato saw two types of representation—faithful and intentionally distorted (simulacrum)—Baudrillard sees four: (1) basic reflection of reality; (2) perversion of reality; (3) pretence of reality (where there is no model); and (4) simulacrum, which "bears no relation to any reality whatsoever".[7] In Baudrillard's concept, like Nietzsche's, simulacra are perceived as negative, but another modern philosopher who addressed the topic, Gilles Deleuze, takes a different view, seeing simulacra as the avenue by which an accepted ideal or "privileged position" could be "challenged and overturned".[8] Deleuze defines simulacra as "those systems in which different relates to different by means of difference itself. What is essential is that we find in these systems no prior identity, no internal resemblance".[9]
Alain Badiou, in speaking with reference to Nazism about Evil, writes,[10] "fidelity to a simulacrum, unlike fidelity to an event, regulates its break with the situation not by the universality of the void, but by the closed particularity of an abstract set ... (the 'Germans' or the 'Aryans')".

Some stories focus on simulacra as objects, such as Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. The term also appears in Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita and in Stanislaw Lem's Solaris.

Another noteworthy example of the usage of the term simulacrum in literature comes from 20th-century Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, in his short story "The Circular Ruins". The "dreamed man" in the story is an example of a simulacrum, as he is a representation of a mortal human being that can create other human beings – that can create the real out of a representation. The movie "Welt am Draht" (1973), from Rainer Werner Fassbinder, plays with the concept of simulacrum both in story and in cinematography.

Word usage[edit]The Latinised plural simulacra is interchangeable with the anglicised version simulacrums.[16]

A simulacrum is a representation or imitation of a person or thing. The word was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god. Wikipedia

The Publication of the Dialogues

"The literary simulacrum has to be posterior to the real thing and to lack the life of the real thing.

It smells pro -/ Page 24 / leptically of the reader's lamp. There is no such smell in Plato's earlier dialogues.

JUST SIX NUMBERS

The Deep Forces that Shape the Universe

Martin Rees

999

OUR COSMIC HABITAT 1 PLANETS STARS AND LIFE

A COMMON CULTURE WITH ALIENS

Page 21

"A proton is 1,836 times heavier than an electron, and the number 1,836 would have the same connotations to any 'intelligence' "

Page 21 / 22

"...A manifestly artificial signal- even if it were as boring as lists of prime numbers, or the digits of 'pi' - would imply that 'intelligence' wasn't unique to the Earth and had evolved elsewhere. The nearest potential sites are so far away that signals would take many years in transit. For this reason alone, transmission would be primarily one-way. There would be time to send a measured response, but no scope for quick repartee!
Any remote beings who could communicate with us would have some concepts of mathematics and logic that paralleled our own. And they would also share a knowledge of the basic particles and forces that govern our universe. Their habitat may be very different (and the biosphere even more different) from ours here on Earth; but they, and their planet, would be made of atoms just like those on Earth. For them, as for us, the most important particles would be protons and electrons: one electron orbiting a proton makes a hydrogen atom, and electric currents and radio transmitters involve streams of electrons.A proton is 1,836 times heavier than an electron, and the number 1,836 would have the same connotations to any 'intelligence' able and motivated to transmit radio signals. All the basic forces and natural laws would be the same. Indeed, this uniformity - without which our universe would be a far more baffling place - seems to extend to the remotest galaxies that astronomers can study. (Later chapters in this book will, however, speculate about other 'universes', forever beyond range of our telescopes, where different laws may prevail.)
Clearly, alien beings wouldn't use metres, kilograms or seconds. But we could exchange information about the ratios of two masses (such as thc ratio of proton and electron masses) or of two lengths, which are 'pure numbers' that don't depend on what units are used: the statement that one rod is ten times as long as another is true (or false) whether we measure lengths / in feet or metres or some alien units"

Page 21

"A proton is 1,836 times heavier than an electron, and the number 1,836 would have the same connotations to any 'intelligence' "

 

 



" the number 1,836 would have the same connotations"
"A remarkable use of the number 3168 occurs"

KEEPER OF GENESIS

A QUEST FOR THE HIDDEN LEGACY OF MANKIND

Robert Bauval Graham Hancock 1996

Page 254

"...Is there in any sense an interstellar Rosetta Stone?

We believe there is a common language that all technical civilizations, no matter how different, must have.

That common language is science and mathematics.

The laws of Nature are the same everywhere:..."

LIGHT AND LIFE

Lars Olof Bjorn

 
1976
 

"BY WRITING THE 26 LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET IN A CERTAIN ORDER

ONE MAY PUT DOWN ALMOST ANY MESSAGE"

(THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN WITH THE SAME LETTERS AS THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA AND WINNIE THE POOH, ONLY THE ORDER OF THE LETTERS DIFFERS).

IN THE SAME WAY NATURE IS ABLE TO CONVEY WITH HER LANGUAGE HOW A CELL AND A WHOLE ORGANISM IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND HOW IT IS TO FUNCTION. NATURE HAS SUCCEEDED BETTER THAN WE HUMANS; FOR THE GENETIC CODE THERE IS ONLY ONE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE WHICH IS THE SAME IN A MAN, A BEAN PLANT AND A BACTERIUM.

 
THE DNA MESSAGE IN A HUMAN CELL COMPRISES ABOUT
 

1 000 000 000 'LETTERS'."

 

"FOR THE GENETIC CODE THERE IS ONLY ONE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE"

Mysteries of the snowflake: The curious world of the ice-crystal experts.

Inevitably, though, the most common question is, how can Libbrecht be so sure no two snowflakes are ever identical? He likes to tell people that physics has a Zen-like answer, “which is that it depends largely on what you mean by the question. The short answer is that if you consider there’s over a trillion ways you could arrange 15 different books on your bookshelf, then the number of ways of making a complex snowflake is so staggeringly large that, over the history of our planet, I’m confident no two identical flakes have ever fallen. The long answer is more involved – depending on what you mean by ‘alike’ and ‘snowflake’. There could be some extremely small, simple-shaped crystals that looked so alike under a microscope as to be indistinguishable – and if you sifted through enough Arctic snow, where these simple crystals are common, you could probably find a few twins.”

"The short answer is that if you consider there’s over a trillion ways you could arrange 15 different books on your bookshelf,"

Put your faith in God, not a ouija board!

Spooky truth behind surge in sales of Ouija boards

Beware: The Rev Bob Short warns against seances.

Inset: Mondays Mail on how new film Ouija has renewed interest in the 'game'

THE supernatural is once again on people's minds, with a fascination with ouija boards and Spurs footballer Emmanuel Adebayor complaining about people 'putting juju' on him (Mail). In the Sixties, ouija boards were a must-have family game, but some people have obviously forgotten that many youngsters had psychological problems caused by playing this. It was produced by a top board game company and can be purchased `used' today.
I was involved in helping to lead a_youth group in my church at the time. A group of these young people had been invited to go to a ouija seance, and they asked me to accompany them. I didn't know much about seances but decided to go. For a good while, I sat like everyone else with my finger on the upturned glass, praying it wouldn't work. Nothing happened, and the person who was running the session said there must be someone present who didn't agree with what was going on. I confessed: I told them I was very uneasy with the whole thing and was praying it wouldn't work. I then decided to leave.
Later, the young people told me that after I'd left, all sorts of weird things were said, some quite frightening, and at the end of it the glass exploded.
The Bible teaches very clearly that we • shouldn't meddle in occult practices such as trying to contact the dead, probably because of the danger of contacting spirits which ultimately can't be controlled. For Christians, the Holy Spirit is much stronger, but that doesn't give us permission to play around with this sort of thing.
My advice for young people worried about friends being involved in seances - is that they shouldn't go but simply pray that the channel, as it were, is blocked. I would recommend that Emmanuel Adebayor reminds himself that God's Spirit, which lives in him as a believer, is more powerful than any 'juju'. He should also remember that his name — Emmanuel — which we focus on at Christmas time, means 'God with us'. He also has the God-given talent to start scoring goals again if he can refocus himself and not be side-tracked by other voices.
Rev BOB SHORT, Beeston, Notts.

 

 

THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN

Thomas Mann 1875 - 1955

Page 660

"In the evening, on the stroke of ten, they gathered privily, and in whispers mustered the apparatus Hermine had provided, consisting of a medium-sized round table without a cloth, placed in the centre of the room, with a wine glass upside-down upon it, the foot in the air. "Round the edge of the table, at regular intervals, were placed twenty-six little bone counters, each with a letter of the alphabet written on it in pen and ink."

"ROUND THE EDGE OF THE TABLE, AT REGULAR INTERVALS, WERE PLACED TWENTY-SIX LITTLE BONE COUNTERS. EACH WITH A LETTER OF THE ALPHABET WRITTEN ON IT IN PEN AND INK."

Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

 

 

HOLY BIBLE
Genesis 1:27.

“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

THE SIRIUS MYSTERY

Robert K.G.Temple 1976

Page 82

The Sacred Fifty

"We must return to the treatise 'The Virgin of the World'. This treatise is quite explicit in saying that Isis and Osiris were sent to help the Earth by giving primitive mankind the arts of civilization:
And Horus thereon said:

'How was it, mother, then, that Earth received God's Efflux?' And Isis said:

'I may not tell the story of (this) birth; for it is not permitted to describe the origin of thy descent, O Horus (son) of mighty power, lest afterwards the way-of-birth of the immortal gods should be known unto men - except so far that God the Monarch, the universal Orderer and Architect, sent for a little while thy mighty sire Osiris, and the mightiest goddess Isis, that they might help the world, for all things needed them.
'Tis they who filled life full of life. 'Tis they who caused the savagery of mutual slaughtering of men to cease. 'Tis they who hallowed precincts to the Gods their ancestors and spots for holy rites. 'Tis they who gave to men laws, food and shelter.'

THE SIRIUS MYSTERY

Robert K.G.Temple 1976

Page 74

"Mead quotes an Egyptian magic papyrus, this being an uncontested Egyptian document which he compares to a passage in the Trismegistic literature: 'I invoke thee, Lady Isis, with whom the Good Daimon doth unite, He who is Lord in the perfect black. '37
We know that Isis is identified with Sirius A, and here we may have a / Page 74 / description of her star-companion 'who is Lord in the perfect black', namely the invisible companion with whom she is united, Sirius B.
Mead, of course, had no inkling of the Sirius question. But he cited this magic papyrus in order to shed comparative light on some extraordinary passages in a Trismegistic treatise he translated which has the title 'The Virgin of the World'. In his comments on the magic papyrus Mead says: 'It is natural to make the Agathodaimon ("the Good Daimon") of the Papyrus refer to Osiris; for indeed it is one of his most frequent designations. Moreover, it is precisely Osiris who is pre-eminently connected with the so-called "under­world", the unseen world, the "mysterious dark". He is lord there. . . and indeed one of the ancient mystery-sayings was precisely, "Osiris is a dark God." ,
'The Virgin of the World' is an extraordinary Trismegistic treatise in the form of a dialogue between the hierophant (high priest) as spokesman for Isis and the neophyte who represents Horus. Thus the priest instructing the initiate is portrayed as Isis instructing her son Horus.
The treatise begins by claiming it is 'her holiest discourse' which 'so speaking Isis doth pour forth'. There is, throughout, a strong emphasis on the hierarchical principle of lower and higher beings in the universe - that earthly mortals are presided over at intervals by other, higher, beings who interfere in Earth's affairs when things here become hopeless, etc. Isis says in the treatise: 'It needs must, therefore, be the less should give place to the greater mysteries.' What she is to disclose to Horus is a great mystery. Mead describes it as the mystery practised by the arch-hierophant. It was the degree (here 'degree' is in the sense of 'degree' in the Masonic 'mysteries', which are hopelessly garbled and watered-down versions of genuine mysteries of earlier times) 'called the "Dark Mystery" or "Black Rite". It was a rite performed only for those who were judged worthy of it after long probation in lower degrees, something of a far more sacred character, apparently, than the instruction in the mysteries enacted in the light.'
Mead adds: 'I would suggest, therefore, that we have here a reference to the most esoteric institution of the Isiac tradition. . .', Isiac meaning of course 'Isis-tradition', and not to be confused with the Book of Isaiah in the Bible (so that perhaps it is best for us not to use the word-form 'Isiac').
It is in attempting to explain the mysterious 'Black Rite' of Isis at the highest degree of the Egyptian mysteries that Mead cited the magic papyrus which I have already quoted. He explains the 'Black Rite' as being connected with Osiris being a 'dark god' who is 'Lord of the perfect black' which is 'the unseen world, the mysterious black'.
This treatise 'The Virgin of the World' describes a personage called Hermes who seems to represent a race of beings who taught earthly mankind the arts of civilization after which: 'And thus, with charge unto his kinsmen of the Gods to keep sure watch, he mounted to the Stars'.
According to this treatise mankind have been a troublesome lot requiring scrutiny and, at rare intervals of crisis, intervention.
After Hermes left Earth to return to the stars there was or were in Egypt someone or some people designated as 'Tat' (Thoth) who were initiates into the celestial mysteries."

Page 77

"Bearing these books in mind (and I am sure they are there waiting under­ground like a time bomb for us), it is interesting to read this passage in 'The Virgin of the World' following shortly upon that previously quoted:
The sacred symbols of the cosmic elements were hid away hard by the secrets of Osiris. Hermes, ere he returned to Heaven, invoked a spell on them, and spake these words: . . . 'O holy books, who have been made by my immortal hands, by incorruption's magic spells. . . (at this point there is a lacuna as the text is hopeless) . . . free from decay throughout eternity remain and incorrupt from time! Become unseeable, unfindable, for every one whose foot shall tread the plains of this land, until old Heaven doth bring forth meet instruments for you, whom the Creator shall call souls.'
Thus spake he; and, laying spells on them by means of his own works, he shut them safe away in their own zones. And long enough the time has been since they were hid away.
In the treatise the highest objective of ignorant men searching for the truth
is described as: '(Men) will seek out. . . the inner nature of the holy spaces which no foot may tread, and will chase after them into the height, desiring to observe the nature of the motion of the Heaven.
'These are as yet moderate things. For nothing more remains than Earth's remotest realms; nay, in their daring they will track out Night, the farthest Night of all.'..."

Page 82

"We must note Stecchini's remarks about Delphi as follows :38
The god of Delphi, Apollo, whose name means 'the stone', was identified with an object, the omphalos, 'navel', which has been found. It consisted of an ovoidal stone. . . . The omphalos of Delphi was similar to the object which represented the god Amon in Thebes, the 'navel' of Egypt. In 1966 I presented to the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America a paper in which I maintained that historical accounts, myths, and legends, and some monuments of Delphi, indicate that the oracle was established there by the Pharaohs of the Ethiopian Dynasty.

"Although we have used the familiar term 'God' in the explanatory notes which accompany each chapter, we have avoided this term in the text itself. Instead we have used 'Atum - one of the ancient Egyptian names for the Supreme One God."

 

Page 45

The Being of Atum

"Atum is Primal Mind."

Page 45

The Being of Atum

Give me your whole awareness, and concentrate your thoughts, for Knowledge of Atum's Being requires deep insight, which comes only as a gift of grace.

It is like a plunging torrent of water whose swiftness outstrips any man who strives to follow it, leaving behind not only the hearer, but even the teacher himself.

To conceive of Atum is difficult.

To define him is impossible.

The imperfect and impermanent cannot easily apprehend the eternally perfected.

Atum is whole and conconstant.

In himself he is motionless, yet he is self-moving.

He is immaculate, incorruptible and ever-lasting.

He is the Supreme Absolute Reality. He is filled with ideas which are imperceptible to the senses, and with all-embracing Knowledge.

Atum is Primal Mind.

Page 46

He is too great to be called by the name 'Atum'. He is hidden, yet obvious everywhere.

His Being is known through thought alone, yet we see his form before our eyes.

He is bodiless, yet embodied in everything. There is nothing which he is not. He has no name, because all names are his name. He is the unity in all things, so we must know him by all names and call everything 'Atum'.

He is the root and source of all. Everything has a source, except this source itself, which springs from nothing.

Atum is complete like the number one, which remains itself whether multiplied or divided, and yet generates all numbers.

Atum is the Whole which contains everything. He is One, not two.

He is All, not many.

The All is not many separate things, but the Oneness that subsumes the parts.

The All and the One are identical.

You think that things are many when you view them as separate, but when you see they all hang on the One, /Page 47/ and flow from the One, you will realise they are united­linked together, and connected by a chain of Being from the highest to the lowest, all subject to the will of Atum.

The Cosmos is one as the sun is one, the moon is one and the Earth is one.

Do you think there are many Gods? That's absurd - God is one.

Atum alone is the Creator of all that is immortal, and all that is mutable.

If that seems incredible, just consider yourself. You see, speak, hear, touch, taste, walk, think and breathe.

It is not a different you who does these various things, but one being who does them all.

To understand how Atum makes all things, consider a farmer sowing seeds; here wheat - there barley,
now planting a vine - then an apple tree.

Just as the same man plants all these seeds, so Atum sows immortality in heaven and change on Earth.

Throughout the Cosmos he disseminates Life and movement­the two great elements that comprise Atum and his creation, and so everything that is.

Page 48

Atum is called 'Father' because he begets all things, and, from his example, the wise hold begetting children the most sacred pursuit of human life. Atum works with Nature, within the laws of Necessity, causing extinction and renewal, constantly creating creation to display his wisdom.

Yet, the things that the eye can see are mere phantoms and illusions.

Only those things invisible to the eye are real. Above all are the ideas of Beauty and Goodness.

Just as the eye cannot see the Being of Atum, so it cannot see these great ideas.

They are attributes of Atum alone, and are inseparable from him.

They are so perfectly without blemish that Atum himself is in love with them.

There is nothing which Atum lacks, so nothing that he desires.

There is nothing that Atum can lose, so nothing can cause him grief. Atum is everything.

Atum makes everything, and everything is a part of Atum.

Atum, therefore, makes himself.

This is Atum's glory - he is all-creative, and this creating is his very Being.

It is impossible for him ever to stop creating­for Atum can never cease to be.

Page 49

Atum is everywhere.

Mind cannot be enclosed, because everything exists within Mind.

Nothing is so quick and powerful.

Just look at your own experience. Imagine yourself in any foreign land, and quick as your intention you will be there!

Think of the ocean - and there you are.

You have not moved as things move, but you have travelled, nevertheless.

Fly up into the heavens - you won't need wings!

Nothing can obstruct you - not the burning heat of the sun, or the swirling planets.

Pass on to the limits of creation. Do you want to break out beyond the boundaries of the Cosmos?

For your mind, even that is possible.

Can you sense what power you possess? If you can do all this, then what about your Creator?

Try and understand that Atum is Mind.

This is how he contains the Cosmos. All things are thoughts which the Creator thinks."

THE ART OF MEMORY

FRANCIS A. YATES 1966

THREE LATIN SOURCES FOR THE CLASSICAL ART OF MEMORY

Page 21

"The Ad Herennium was a well known and much used text in the Middle Ages when it had an immense prestige because it was thought to be by Cicero. It was therefore believed that the precepts for the artificial memory which it expounded had been drawn up by Tullius himself"

Page 32

"Though the medieval tradition which assigned the authorship of Ad Herennium to 'Tullius' was wrong in fact, it was not wrong in its inference that the art of memory was practised and recommended by Tullius."

QUESTION The W. B Yeats poem Mad As The Mists and snow name checks Homer, Horace, Cicero and and Tully ('and here is Tully's open page') Who was Tully?


TULLY and Cicero are one and the same person - the Roman statesman and philosopher whose full latin name was Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC).

Male Roman citizens typically had three names, their praenomen (given name), their nomen (clan name) and their' cognomen (nickname or family name), but in English classical Latin authors are generally known by a single name, often Anglicised. These sometimes derive from the nomen (for example, Horace's full name was Quintus Horatius Flaccus) and sometimes from the cognomen (as with Gaius Julius Caesar).

In Cicero's case, he's today known by his cognomen, but has sometimes in the past been called Tully from his nomen.

Despite coming from humble stock, Cicero's skill as an orator saw him rise to the supreme position of state in the Republic, the consulship, in 63BC and he played a key role in the defeat of the Catiline conspiracy.

As a result of the rise to power of Julius Caesar, he took a lesser role in his later years, devoting himself to literature Instead.

After Caesar's assassination in 44BC, Cicero returned to politics and took a key role in the senatorial opposition to Mark Antony.

He was murdered on Antony's orders when he took power. Cicero's surviving letters form a key source for the history of the fall of the Roman Republic and its replacement by the rule of the emperors.

THE ART OF MEMORY

FRANCIS A. YATES 1966

THREE LATIN SOURCES FOR THE CLASSICAL ART OF MEMORY

Page 21

"The Ad Herennium was a well known and much used text in the Middle Ages when it had an immense prestige because it was thought to be by Cicero. It was therefore believed that the precepts for the artificial memory which it expounded had been drawn up by Tullius himself"

Page 32

"Though the medieval tradition which assigned the authorship of Ad Herennium to 'Tullius' was wrong in fact, it was not wrong in its inference that the art of memory was practised and recommended by Tullius."

THE ART OF MEMORY

THREE LATIN SOURCES FOR THE CLASSICAL ART OF MEMORY

Page 111

MEDIEVAL MEMORY AND THE FORMATION OF IMAGES

"Petrarch makes his allusions to the art by introducing examples of men of antiquity famed for good memories and associating these with the classical art. His paragraph on the memories of Lucullus and Hortensius begins thus: - 'Memory is of two kinds, one for things, one for words.' 57
