Time and Memory

Post by The Beast »

Hi.
The argument put to reason by Kant and others over the nature of humanity is here one of Psychology.
“Everything that thinks, possesses the attribute of absolute and permanent unity, which is utterly different from the transitory unity of material phenomena and the counter-preposition is: "The soul is not an immaterial unity, and its nature is transitory, like that of phenomena “
Everything that thinks has ideas. The idea of Time is a learned one and to the main argument above some say it exist and some others it does not. I think of Time as memory of change. It is innate. In another way we are born with memory and our perception of Time relates to memory. If a human is born with a five-minute short term memory span and no long-term memory, experts will catalog this human as a handicap Human in an institution. It will be hard to prove Reason and Intelligence. Yet, the DNA is there to catalog the individual as Human. I cannot stop change but, I could direct change so the equivalent of: “Everything that thinks possesses…” is Everything that thinks has Power; To me it is the existent force whether I grab/possess it or not and, in any case an unknown quantity to my senses. My Human DNA does this. It also tests all possible venues playing the Universal checker game. I am a human being and inside me there is a vast space composed of cells and emptiness. Inside the cells there a vast space composed of atoms and emptiness. Inside the atoms there is a vast space composed of particles and emptiness. The space moves with my power. The Space is part of a bigger Space to an absolute and permanent unity. Are there any dogmatic reasons to the contrary?

So what do you think makes one: human? Is being human important or merely a genetic cataloging?

I have the power to catalog. It makes me Human. Wrong or right, I catalog. because I think. Human is a fluid DNA. Mostly, it is a decision to be human and to meet the standards of accreditation by the accrediting Human Board of which all of us are part of with our daily living. Inhuman might be a quality of Human. It is not separate from Human. It is a decision against the standard human living conditions. Since it is a decision, this which is inhuman might become the standard accreditation of Human if so, adopted by the Board. I am using the Power to be Human or Inhuman or more Human if such a thing. But we all try to measure ourselves against others and other thinking species…we have a Human ID. However, writing a standard Ethics or Ethnic book might not be in the horizon.

Sorry, maybe it's just me, but I didn't catch that. Is being human important?

Hello!. A ship on the horizon… was the start of some of my favorite books as a child. Whenever I had questions, I would turn to one of the fictional characters. Why is it important to be human? My mother stopping what she was doing would look down on me- What? Do you want to be a pirate now? –“It is best to be a good human”. Anyway, I always wondered how it must feel to be a werewolf since I started reading History. I even wrote a bunch of questions. The first question is: Why is it important to be a werewolf? The second was: What is a good werewolf?

The Beast, I've probably asked you this before but I'll ask it again: Do you ever read your posts back to yourself and try to imagine how they might sound to a person who can't see inside your head?

What? You can't see inside heads? I thought this was the See Inside Heads Forum.

Time is certainly an ‘item’ we’ve named as part of human life. Naming gives it power, and it coming into existence as a ‘measured’ item makes us bow to it ... perhaps unnecessarily so?

Pretty much everything we don’t see we don’t see because it is all too common a habit - a ‘memory’ so ingrained (dna/environment) that we wish not see it.

One thing that defines us as ‘Human’ is our ability to ‘manage time’ and shape how we perceive time. Civilisation is the repercussion of ‘human made time’.

Worthy. I am human. I do make mistakes. The psychological meaning of the soul is different from the philosophical meaning. Some would even go as far as banning the meaning of the soul or to separate the meaning of the soul from the meaning of life.

“This which is does not come into being”
The understanding of humanity is realized as a ritualistic process. The seasons and the changes of what it is said and what the answer is. The ritual of being a human is to seek Reason and Reason’s purpose is to find truth. The ritualistic process does not stray away from the understanding of being. The absence of Ritual seeks destruction of Reason. Therefore, the better the ritual the better the understanding of being. Say I. "this which is does not come into being"

who is Being?
This which is the identity of a human being is the soul.
The soul gives form and organizes reality. The dynamic flow and order of a human being comes from the soul. In the words of Parmenides: “Being and thought are the same”. To be a human is to have consciousness. The dynamic flow which gives form might be good or bad as thought has it. Science and Ethics is what thought uses to rule the form.
Is there a genesis? In the words of Homer: “ But may you all become water and earth” because after the dissolution of the body what remains is their truth. However, How do we think of soul and spirit for the definitions of immaterial or abstract do not serve the reality of mass? Even all forms of energy carry a particle the same as light carry the photon and quantum energy. The Hermetic tradition/thought speaks of an egg impregnated by the Divine Spirit. Unscientific as it is, the egg is brought to perfection as thought has perfection in a description of the Ensouled Egg. Here, Orpheus speaks of the orderly arrangement the same as Science speaks of DNA.
As Orpheus thought has it the Egg rests on the boundless Aion.
Still, in the principle of light and darkness (energy) the form of pure spirit is brought forth as being a third form… and described by as ”the delicate scent of unguent or of incense…the fragrance of the Spirit” and here “ the fragrance of the Spirit together with the Light (energy) was sown and was distributed” and it happened in the movement of the water tides.
As Apion has it: Aion (Time) is the circle of Infinitude and Eternity illuminated by the Logos. In a scientific structure we describe the Universe as the circle (imperfect) illuminated by light. For Plato (Timeus) Aion is Eternity not Time and the image of Time is what humans have…”The Platonic doctrine was to divide simplicity into an infinitude of multiplicity, later the term Aion came to be used no longer for a transcendent unity but as the connotation of a grade of Being”. If anything just like DNA.
