The Great Secret: or Occultism Unveiled, by Eliphas Levi The Great Secretor Occultism Unveiled by Eliphas Lévi This work is the author's testament; it is the most important, and the final, treatise by him on the occult sciences. It is divided into three books: Book OneThe Hieratic Mystery or the traditional documents of High Initiation. Book TwoThe Royal Mystery or the Art of Subduing the Powers. Book ThreeThe Sacerdotal Mystery or the Art of being served by Spirits. This treatise needs neither introduction nor preface. Here is the last word on occultism and it is written as clearly as it has been possible for us to write it. Ought this volume to be published? If real initiates are still to be found somewhere in the world, it is for them we have written it, and to them alone belongs the right to judge us. ELIPHAS LEVI.September 1868.

The Sacred Geometry of Sound Sacred Geometry and the Structure of Music Legend recounts how Orpheus was given a lyre by Apollo. By playing his lyre, Orpheus produced harmonies that joined all of Nature together in peace and joy. Inspired by this Orphic tradition of music and science, Pythagoras of Samos conducted perhaps the world's first physics experiment. Like the seven naturally occurring colors of the rainbow, the octave of seven tones — indeed, all of Creation — is a singing matrix of frequencies that can be experienced as color, sound, matter, and states of consciousness. This correlation of sound, matter, and consciousness is important. I believe that this matrix of Creation is waiting for us to sound the most harmonious vibrating chord — to sound the universe itself into a perfect, idealized form. The Music of Atomic Shapes The Platonic solids, basic shapes of Sacred Geometry, are five three-dimensional geometric forms of which all faces are alike. The results were extraordinary.

showthread Even though this info largely fits into Nassim Harameins work and could be posted on the Nassim thread, I wanted to create a thread solely for Marko Rodins "Vortex Based Mathematics". I have been closley studying his work for a good while now and have come to conclude this this stuff is absolutley A MUST to look at and understand if you are going to bother to try to understand any of this stuff. Of course, knowing of Nassim's work and others like Stan Tenen and Viktor Schauberger etc will GREATLY enhance the connectivity as you start to understand this work. It may look complicated at first but I assure you it is not. You only need to be able to do basic addition, multiplication etc, and having an eye for patterns and symmetry will help. Then you may think that this doesn't equate to anything more than some interesting magic squares or number patterns that are irrelavent to real world applications or the nature of reality.

The Wind - Masonic Initiation by W. L. Wilmshurst MASONIC INITIATION by W.L. Wilmshurst Chapter II THE WIND The Instruction Lectures of the First Degree (unfortunately not used in some Lodges), contain a curious reference to the blowing of the wind, which must puzzle a good many minds. What has the wind to do with Masonic work, and why should it be particularly favourable to that work when blowing from East to West or vice versa?Again we must look below the letter of the reference.
US To Launch New Moon Mission In 2010 The United States could launch a mission in 2010 that would land two stationary robots on the moon to collect rock samples before returning to earth, a US scientist said here Thursday. Carle Pieters of Brown University's Department of Geological Sciences, who is involved in the US space programme, said the aim of the Moonrise Mission was to land at the moon's largest and oldest crater - the South Pole Aitken Basin. "The purpose is to study how long ago the basin was formed and return materials derived from the deep interior to earth for analysis," Pieters said. "It will also help us to understand the unique process of how basins are formed." Pieters is also the chairwoman of the International Lunar Exploration Working Group, an organisation formed to promote cooperation between nations. She said scientists in the United States were still identifying which landing spots in the basin would be good for the twin robots to gather samples. All rights reserved. 2004 Agence France-Presse.
Travelling salesman problem The travelling salesman problem (TSP) asks the following question: Given a list of cities and the distances between each pair of cities, what is the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the origin city? It is an NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization, important in operations research and theoretical computer science. Solution of a travelling salesman problem TSP is a special case of the travelling purchaser problem. In the theory of computational complexity, the decision version of the TSP (where, given a length L, the task is to decide whether the graph has any tour shorter than L) belongs to the class of NP-complete problems. Thus, it is possible that the worst-case running time for any algorithm for the TSP increases superpolynomially (perhaps, specifically, exponentially) with the number of cities. The problem was first formulated in 1930 and is one of the most intensively studied problems in optimization. History[edit] Richard M. since For are
Alien From Earth Alien From Earth PBS Airdate: November 11, 2008 NARRATOR: It is the dream of every archaeologist who slogs through backbreaking days of excavation, the find that changes everything. ABC NEWS REPORTER (Archival Footage):A team of Australian and Indonesian archeologists has discovered the remains of what's believed to be a new species of human. HENRY GEE (Nature Magazine): This is a major discovery. CHRIS STRINGER (Natural History Museum, United Kingdom): It implies we are missing a huge amount of the story of human evolution. NARRATOR: Paradoxically, the discovery is huge because its pieces are not: a skeleton of an adult, the size of a three-year old child; a skull one-third the size of a modern human's. To many, the evidence is irrefutable. BILL JUNGERS (Stony Brook University): This is not a little person. NARRATOR: But some scientists just aren't buying it. RALPH HOLLOWAY (Columbia University): It just invites tremendous skepticism. NARRATOR: An astonishing discovery, a bitter controversy.
Life Science Technologies: Sanger Who? Sequencing the Next Generation In November 2008 Elaine Mardis of Washington University in St. Louis and colleagues published the complete genome sequence of an individual with acute myeloid leukemia. Coming just a few years after the decade-long, multibillion dollar Human Genome Project, the paper was remarkable on several levels. For one thing, the team sequenced two human genomes, both cancerous and normal, some 140 billion bases in all. More impressive, though, was what the study omitted: the 50 human genomes Mardis sequenced that year (albeit not as deeply) for the 1,000 Genomes Project. "It's like a whole new world," she says. By Jeffrey M. Inclusion of companies in this article does not indicate endorsement by either AAAS or Science, nor is it meant to imply that their products or services are superior to those of other companies. The instruments in question, Illumina Genome Analyzers, are one of a cadre of so-called next-generation DNA sequencers. Such is life on genomics' bleeding edge. Out with the Old±
Genetic algorithm The 2006 NASA ST5 spacecraft antenna. This complicated shape was found by an evolutionary computer design program to create the best radiation pattern. Genetic algorithms find application in bioinformatics, phylogenetics, computational science, engineering, economics, chemistry, manufacturing, mathematics, physics, pharmacometrics and other fields. Methodology[edit] In a genetic algorithm, a population of candidate solutions (called individuals, creatures, or phenotypes) to an optimization problem is evolved toward better solutions. A typical genetic algorithm requires: a genetic representation of the solution domain,a fitness function to evaluate the solution domain. Once the genetic representation and the fitness function are defined, a GA proceeds to initialize a population of solutions and then to improve it through repetitive application of the mutation, crossover, inversion and selection operators.

Collective intelligence: Ants and brain's neurons CONTACT: Stanford University News Service (415) 723-2558 Collective intelligence: Ants and brain's neurons STANFORD - An individual ant is not very bright, but ants in a colony, operating as a collective, do remarkable things. A single neuron in the human brain can respond only to what the neurons connected to it are doing, but all of them together can be Immanuel Kant. That resemblance is why Deborah M. "I'm interested in the kind of system where simple units together do behave in complicated ways," she said. No one gives orders in an ant colony, yet each ant decides what to do next. For instance, an ant may have several job descriptions. This kind of undirected behavior is not unique to ants, Gordon said. Gordon studies harvester ants in Arizona and, both in the field and in her lab, the so-called Argentine ants that are ubiquitous to coastal California. Argentine ants came to Louisiana in a sugar shipment in 1908. The motions of the ants confirm the existence of a collective. -jns/ants-
Cellular automaton The concept was originally discovered in the 1940s by Stanislaw Ulam and John von Neumann while they were contemporaries at Los Alamos National Laboratory. While studied by some throughout the 1950s and 1960s, it was not until the 1970s and Conway's Game of Life, a two-dimensional cellular automaton, that interest in the subject expanded beyond academia. In the 1980s, Stephen Wolfram engaged in a systematic study of one-dimensional cellular automata, or what he calls elementary cellular automata; his research assistant Matthew Cook showed that one of these rules is Turing-complete. Wolfram published A New Kind of Science in 2002, claiming that cellular automata have applications in many fields of science. The primary classifications of cellular automata as outlined by Wolfram are numbered one to four. Overview[edit] The red cells are the von Neumann neighborhood for the blue cell, while the extended neighborhood includes the pink cells as well. A torus, a toroidal shape History[edit]
Bees algorithm In computer science and operations research, the Bees Algorithm is a population-based search algorithm which was developed in 2005.[1] It mimics the food foraging behaviour of honey bee colonies. In its basic version the algorithm performs a kind of neighbourhood search combined with global search, and can be used for both combinatorial optimization and continuous optimization. The only condition for the application of the Bees Algorithm is that some measure of topological distance between the solutions is defined. The Bees Algorithm is inspired by the foraging behaviour of honey bees. Honey bees foraging strategy in nature[edit] A colony of honey bees can extend itself over long distances (over 14 km) [4] and in multiple directions simultaneously to harvest nectar or pollen from multiple food sources (flower patches). The Bees Algorithm[edit] The Bees Algorithm [2][6] mimics the foraging strategy of honey bees to look for the best solution to an optimisation problem. Applications[edit]
Why the Theory of Evolution Exists Introduction to the Mathematics of Evolution Chapter 1 Why the Theory of Evolution Exists "In the preface to the proceedings of the [Wistar] symposium, Dr. 's Enigma, Luther D. Introduction Many times students hear that the theory of evolution is a "proven fact of science." The reality is that the theory of evolution is NOT a proven fact of science. For example, the theory of evolution requires that life be created from simple chemicals. Such a conversion has never been demonstrated and such a conversion has never been proven to be possible. Even the simplest life on earth, which does not require a host, is far too complex to form by a series of accidents. The theory of evolution also requires massive amounts of new genetic information form by totally random mutations of DNA. New genetic information, including at least one new gene, has never been observed in nature, nor has new genetic information, created by random mutations of DNA, ever been accomplished in a science lab.
