Chemical free psychedelic experience. Cyborg. Sound. Active imagination. Active imagination is a cognitive methodology that uses the imagination as an organ of understanding. Disciplines of active imagination are found within various philosophical, religious and spiritual traditions. It is perhaps best known in the West today through C. G. Jung's emphasis on the therapeutic value of this activity. Islamic tradition[edit] The imaginal realm is known in Islamic philosophy as alam al-mithal, the imaginal world. Through Averroes, mainstream Islamic philosophy lost its relationship to the active imagination. Henry Corbin[edit] Henry Corbin considered imaginal cognition to be a "purely spiritual faculty independent of the physical organism and thus surviving it".[3] Islamic philosophy in general, and Avicenna and Corbin in particular, distinguish sharply between the true imaginations that stem from the imaginal realm, and personal fantasies, which have an unreal character, and are "imaginary" in the common sense of this word.

Utility fog. Visualization of foglet with arms retracted and extended Diagram of a 100-micrometer foglet Utility fog (coined by Dr. John Storrs Hall in 1993[1]) is a hypothetical collection of tiny robots that can replicate a physical structure.[2][3][4][5] As such, it is a form of self-reconfiguring modular robotics. Conception[edit] Hall thought of it as a nanotechnological replacement for car seatbelts. In the original application as a replacement for seatbelts, the swarm of robots would be widely spread-out, and the arms loose, allowing air flow between them. Hall and his correspondents soon realised that utility fog could be manufactured en masse to occupy the entire atmosphere of a planet and replace any physical instrumentality necessary to human life.

Progressive Discourse. I’m back. I never intended to take a break, but I did. Here’s why: My community of grade eight student bloggers became so big and so engaging that I spent every spare moment reading and writing within this community. My class community suddenly blossomed and I started seeing myself as an important part of the classroom community and no longer as a teacher who peddles content. I became a participant in a series of dialogues. I witnessed the emergence of a semantic network, one where all links, all interactions were based on meaning.
I knew that I had to devote all my energies to documenting it. So, while I did not have time to contribute to this blog, I learned first hand what it means to be a grade eight teacher who teaches in the context of a community of student bloggers. For a period of about six weeks I was totally engrossed in a community that I built with my students. My students started blogging two years ago. But then, about two months ago, there was a sudden shift. Notes:
