at court gave rise to futile speculation and great heated babbling concerning matters steeped in cant and helpless superstition and I was in no way esteemed for my ability to speak of knowledge learned by observation, so I kept my peace.
There were odd times when forced by confrontation or command to express my own opinion I thrust myself upon them in no uncertain manner, and much to their dismay, though I feared such times with all my heart and soul.
For often the discoveries I had made about our world would not find words enough to describe them and I would hang in open sentence while all about men would take me for an idiot.
The more I spoke the more I sensed my isolation.
The minds of men shut down on simple truth or they talk instead of "higher science " as though it were untouchable to common mortals and governed by the stars.
If I soiled my hands in experimentation I was treated with contempt as one who dabble in lower science.
Had I to accept to accept their view as a beggar who
holds out his hand to receive a piece of stale-bread ?
Was it not honourable to find oneself by sweat of brow and observation that there is only ONE science which Nature herself practices inside dark caves & in the breasts of nightingales alike ?
She abhors the vacuum which she would have found inside their books if not inside their heads."
Ralph Steadman after Leonardo in I LEONARDO…
eel like giving up.
So, the question is, where are you in your spiritual growth process? Are you willing to put forth the effort to tighten up your life? Are you still attached to controlling the outcome? Do you meditate a little every day on your heart chakra in order to cultivate balance? Do you hassle the details?
If you want to become impeccable, you must clean and polish your being. Clean and polish. Clean and polish. Until it shines like a diamond.
And once it is perfect, you throw it away." - Luce Rene
PERCEPTION IS indeed THE MEDIUM
Bridget Riley is about the changes - progressive, sometimes abrupt, sometimes apparently disastrous - that can take place in a given situation.
The situation is presented in the simplest possible terms
John Russell - Sunday Times - September 1963
One of the most distinctive characteristics of Bridget Riley's art is that it "insists" with such concentration that it changes sensory response into something else. The experience which Riley offers is closely related to the expression of emotion or, more exactly, to the creation of visual analogues for sharply particularized states of mind. The very intensity of the assault which her painting makes on the eye drives it, as it were, past the point at which it is merely a matter of optical effect. It becomes acute physical sensation, apprehended kinesthetically as mental tension or mental release, anxiety or exhileration, heightened self-awareness or heightened awareness of unfamiliar or even alien states of being. Bridget Riley Catalogue introduction - David Thompson Venice Biennale, June 1968…

so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, more
power to create the future, to become the author of our own story.
Another way to put it is that MINDSIGHT is the basic skill that underlies
everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional
intelligence.
MINDSIGHT - our ability to look within and perceive the mind -
to reflect on our experience - is every bit as essential to our
well-being.
MINDSIGHT IS our seventh sense.

As is known by many I was born a dyslexic in the world of lexics,
but supported by family and life, enabled to truly understand the
mis-guided code of the lexics in order to fit. Since my early awareness
of Jung, Graves, Carson, Harding and Pirsig at Grammar School,
I have followed my own voyage of discovery and know as da Vinci
would know that your lexic masterpiece will forever sit next to
Pirsig's original. You must now think about your own "Lila".

Dr. Walter Schempp, a German scientist who happens to be a descendant of Kepler, discovered the Quantum Hologram fifty years ago or so, and this shows that Cartesian duality, the dominant belief of the past four hundred years, that body and mind are realms of reality that DO NOT interact - IS totally WRONG. Schempp's Quantum Holography, is showing us that the intuitive communication I have experienced in space - and that others are also experiencing - is more fundamental than our normal perceptions. In English we call intuition our sixth sense, but we should really call it our first sense because it is rooted in the quantum world and the communication to which it testifies has been around long before human sensory mechanisms were evolved. There is an intrinsic awareness in nature that reaches down all the way to the quantum level, to the subatomic particles that make up matter. That to me, and I know you will agree, Ervin, is exactly where the crux of the matter lies. There is a form of consciousness in nature. This consciousness is as important and as basic as energy.

A few months ago quantum physicists Leonard Susskind, Craig Hogan and Brian Greene - among others - came up with the idea that space-time is a hologram where everything is "entangled". We know that in a hologram all of the information that makes up an image is given everywhere and at the same time, so not time is involved in going from one place to another - everything is present everywhere. This holographic information is likely to be present in the universe, and it is likely to be given for all time. It is not ephemeral. The latest experiment carried out a few months ago testify to this.
This instant interconnection, what physicists call entanglement and nonlocality, may be the key to better understanding of the nature of reality. It is also the secret of a healthier life and a healthier and more sustainable world. At the heart of space and time all things are non locally connected, and we can tap into these "deep connections" and experience the oneness you experienced in space (on your return from the moon). This experience is important for us, because it is the source of our feeling of empathy and solidarity. It motivates us to cooperate, to work together. And cooperation, as we both know, is a basic pre-condition of surmounting the problems we confront in the world today.
