What I feel it is really constructive is that people want to know more about Giordano Bruno. Actually he believed in the unity of religion and science. Yet another religion of the dogmatic versions of it and another science of the blind materialistic versions of it. Matter for him was divine and Divinity material. Both transcending mere conceptualization. Check out if you care Hilary’s Gatti classics:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Hilary-Gatti/e/B001HQ2JDC<br /><br />and a rare but undeservingly forgotten book by Ramon G. Mendoza:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Acentric-Labyrinth-Giordano-Contemporary-Cosmology/dp/1852306408/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395599382&sr=1-1&keywords=the+acentric+labyrinth<br /><br />More to discover if one searches why Leibniz used the term “monad” but had to conceal his sources<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Kabbalah-Archives-internationales-dhistoire-International/dp/0792331141/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395599817&sr=1-1&keywords=leibniz+and+the+kabbalah<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the adventure of discovering ” … who broke those chains and those doors<br />From which few rarely escape? …” :-)Alcamishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671482567837447140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-34659800140749206642014-03-20T08:07:44.050-07:002014-03-20T08:07:44.050-07:00One good thing about dictatorships is that they te...One good thing about dictatorships is that they tend to hold power jealously, to the exclusion of government bloat. So that dictatorships, and monarchies, are potentially minimalist; as long as the dictator isn't in the lazy habit of delegation.<br /><br />Whereas a socialist utopian state, is too wonderful to be limited, and inevitably falls foul of positive feedback, and develops into intolerant despotism. Because it is wholly delegated to the 'needy', with greed cracking the whip, the people must work and die to order.<br /><br />Consider Tibet, under the monasteries, in living memory, 95% of the people were absolutely 'equal'; indeed, as 'feudal serfs' they were forbidden to be otherwise. So much for Shangri-La:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom_in_Tibet_controversyJimmyGirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548795180321590463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-14080407285467897102014-03-17T20:27:50.835-07:002014-03-17T20:27:50.835-07:00Do you know the Science Fiction novel "Gallil...Do you know the Science Fiction novel "Gallileo's Dream"? In it Gallileo has visions from a future in which residents of the Solar System conspire to change the past so that G. does not refuse his chance at martyrdom. The future descendants of earthlings believe that if G. were known to be a "real martyr" they could score some king of points in their own complicated strategy match. The vision G. has of the end the conspiracy intends for him influences him to surrender more quickly. In our own timeline it seems that Bruno has been selected for this role. Who can be certain of the motives of other, current, past, or present; or even of one' own motives?Entspinsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847309535944823136noreply@blogger.com
