To move first you must be moved, to Love is Divine, but if you never try you'll never know.



Dick Tripover



Boy: Eight.

Socrates: So we have not got the eight-foot space from the three-feet line after all.

Boy: No, we haven't.

Socrates: Then how long ought the line to be? Try to tell us exactly, or if you don't want to give it in numbers, show it if you can.

Boy: Indeed, Socrates, on my word I don't know.

Socrates: Now, Menon, do you notice how this boy is getting on in his remembering? At first he did not know what line made the eight-foot space, and he does not know yet; but he thought he knew then, and boldly answered as if he did know, and did not think there was any doubt; now he thinks there is doubt, and as he does not know, so he does not think he does know.

Menon: Quite true.

Socrates: Then he is better off as regards the matter he did not know?

Menon: Yes, I think so too.

Socrates: So now we have put him into a difficulty, and like the stingray we have made him numb, have we done him any harm?

Menon: I don't think so.

Socrates: At least we have brought him a step onward, as it seems, to find out how he stands. For now he would go on contentedly shocking, since he does not know; but then he could easily have thought he would be talking well about the double space, even before any number of people again and again, saying how it must have a line of double length.

Menon: It seems so.

Socrates: Then do you think he would have tried to find out or to learn what he thought he knew, not knowing, until he tumbled into a difficulty by thinking he did not know, and longed to know?

Menon: I do not think he would, Socrates.

Socrates: So he gained by being numbered?

Menon: I think so.

Socrates: Just notice how that after this difficulty he will find out by seeking along with me, while I do nothing but ask questions and give no instructions. Look out if you find me teaching and explaining to him, instead of asking for his opinions.

Now, boy, answer me. Is not this our four-foot space? Do you understand?

Boy: I do.



Socrates: Now then, Menon, what do you think? Was there one single opinion which the boy did not give as his own?

Menon: No, they were all his own opinions.

Socrates: Yet he did not know, as we agreed shortly before.

Menon: Quite true, indeed.

Socrates: Were these opinions in him, or not?

Menon: They were.

Socrates: Then in one who does not know, about things he does not know, there are true opinions about the things which he does not know?

Menon: So it appears.

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listened as the crowd would sing, "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

"Take the title track ... on which [Martin] imagines himself as a paranoid monarch. 'Who would ever want to be king?' Martin asks. 'Revolutionaries wait/For my head on a silver plate!' The confident majesty of the music, however, belies how he and his band mates have invigorated their rock-lite reign."

Sarah just seeded in a video as an ad, she's trying to speak with us because she wants to be a part of this too listen to the lyrics its obvious to me.

Socrates: And now these opinions have been stirred up in him as in a dream; and if someone will keep asking him these same questions often and in various forms, you can be sure that in the end he will know about them as accurately as anybody.

Menon: It seems so.

Socrates: And no one having taughthim, only asked questions, yet he will know, having got the knowledge out of himself?

Menon: Yes.

Socrates: But to get knowledge out of yourself is to remember, isn't it?

Menon: Certainly it is.

Socrates: Well then: This knowledge which he now has--he either got it sometime, or he had it always?

Menon: Yes.

Socrates: Then if he had it always, he was also always one who knew; but if he got it sometime, he could not have got it in this present life. Or has someone taught him geometry? For he will do just these same things in all matters of geometry, and so with all other sciences. Then is there anyone who has taught him everything? You are sure to know that, I suppose, especially since he was born and brought up in your house.

Menon: Well, I indeed know that no one has ever taught him.

Socrates: He has all these opinions, or not?

Menon: He has, Socrates, it must be so.

Socrates: Then if he did not get them in this life, is it not clear now that he had them and had learnt at some other time?

Menon: So it seems.

Socrates: Is not that the time when he was not a man?

Menon: Yes.

Socrates: Then if both in the time when he is a man and when he isn't there are to be true opinions in him, which are awakened by questioning and become knowledge, will not his soul have understood them for all time? For it is clear that through all time he either is or is not a man.

Menon: That is clear.

Socrates: Then if the truth of things is always in our soul, the soul must be immortal; so that what you do not know now by any chance--that is, what you do not remember--you must boldly try and find out and remember?

Menon: You seem to me to argue well, Socrates. I don't know how you do it.

Socrates: Yes, I think that I argue well, Menon. I would not be confident in everything I say about the argument; but one thing I would fight for to the end, both in word and deed if I were able--that if we believed that we must try to find out what is not known, we should be better and braver and less idle than if we believed that what we do not know it is impossible to find out and what we need not even try.

Menon: I think you argue well there too, Socrates.

Socrates: Very well. Since we agree that we must try to find out about what we do not know, shall we do our best to find out together what is virtue?

Menon: By all means. However, my dear friend, I should very much like to consider and to hear what I began by asking, whether we ought to tackle what virtue is as being something which can be taught, or as if men get it by nature or in some other way.

It is in you. There's only one, question that matters. Why are we here? To say our hello's and goodby's and disappear? This beautiful life, what is it for? To learn how to master peace or learn how to master war?

Liber Abaci (also spelled as Liber Abbaci) ("The Book of Calculation") is a 1202 historic book on arithmetic by Leonardo of Pisa, posthumously known as Fibonacci.

Liber Abaci was among the first Western books to describe the Hindu–Arabic numeral system and to use symbols traditionally described as "Arabic numerals". By addressing the applications of both commercial tradesmen and mathematicians, it contributed to convincing the public of the superiority of the system, and the use of these glyphs.

A glyph is "the specific shape, design, or representation of a character". It is a particular graphical representation, in a particular typeface, of an element of written language, which could be a grapheme, or part of a grapheme, or sometimes several graphemes in combination (a composed glyph). If there is more than one allograph of a unit of writing, and the choice between them depends on context or on the preference of the author, they now have to be treated as separate glyphs, because mechanical arrangements have to be available to differentiate between them and to print whichever of them is required. The same is true in computing. In computing as well as typography, the term "character" refers to a grapheme or grapheme-like unit of text, as found in natural language writing systems (scripts).

Script is any particular system of writing or the written means of human communication. In the West, writing begins in Sumeria over 4,000 years ago and the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh is a stunning example of what the written word can produce. The Sumerians considered writing a gift from the god Enlil as, later, the Babylonians would also claim from their own version of the god Nabu. Script originated as simply a means of communicating spoken language over long distances as necessitated by trade.

The 13th letter of the Greek Alphabet is Nu. It is Nu.

8-letter words that start with nu

All of these have something in common, It is in you. Numerous cells, Nuisance - a person, thing, or circumstance causing inconvenience or annoyance, Nutrient - a substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life.

One could argue that nutshell is outside of you, I would rather like to think that within the whole of my body is contained that which is whole so ironically, the inside of the shell is within you.

Nuclease

Numinous - having a strong religious or spiritual quality; indicating or suggesting the presence of a divinity.

Numerate - having a good basic knowledge of arithmetic; able to understand and work with numbers.

Nucleate - having a nucleus.

God’s Presence to Our Consciousness: The Numinous Experience, Intuition of the Sacred, and Conscience

Some think that they have never had an experience of a divine Other which incites humility, excitement, fascination, and worship. Others contend that they have such feelings, but are certain that their origin is from their unconscious minds and their free floating imagination.

It is interesting to note that both groups come to the investigation of religious experience with a considerable number of presuppositions. Religious people not only come with openness to faith, but also with a desire not to reduce spiritual or transcendent data to materialistic or physical categories (they are methodologically non-reductionistic).

Alternatively, secular psychologists and anthropologists tend to be closed to the possibility of transcendence and faith, and feel the need to be reductionistic in order to be “honestly scientific.”

There is a problem from the outset with attempting to reduce and explain transcendent and transphysical realities in terms of physical and material categories. Transcendent categories, by definition, go beyond the physical, and so we can never be sure whether physical categories are capable of explaining what lies beyond them.
