AN AFTERTHOUGHT ON NICHOLAS OF CUSA’S CONCEPT OF SELF-GOVERNMENT

Apply Lyn’s shockwave idea of the ‘stretto’ to Nicholas of Cusa’s discovery of principle regarding his concept of self-government for the Bishops of the Church, which he developed in Concordantia Catholica.

The question Cusa posed was how can the Church become self-governed through the Pope in concordance with the other Bishops? Cusa took the idea of St. Paul’s Agape and the Platonic Good (Agathos) and unified them with the idea of the consent of the governed.

He understood that for the Good to be incarnated into the universe under the condition of change, it had to relate to mankind through Christ via Agape. However, the relationship to mankind also required that the Good be self-subsisting; therefore, the concept of self-subsistence was contracted through the function of change, which is characteristic of the axiomatic stretto motion of enfolding-unfolding. And so, the idea of self- subsisting through the benefit of others became transformed into the process of self-governing through the consent of others. MERRY CHRISTMAS

ON PLATO’S CONCEPT OF THE ‘GOOD’ AND ON ST. PAUL’S CONCEPT OF ‘AGAPE’

As a complementary addition to my previous report of November 15, 2020, I present, here, briefly, the essentials of Plato’s doctrine of the Good (Agathos) and its epistemological unity with St. Paul’s idea of Love of Mankind (Agape), which I dedicate to my family and friends in Canada for the coming Christmas holiday.

Agathos, meaning “the Good”, is Plato’s eternal and changeless form of perfection, which exists completely outside of physical space-time as a pure and ideal source or cause of all human benefits. Agape, meaning “love of mankind,” is St. Paul’s axiomatic principle of change, representing the source of perfection of all human development in physical space-time. Can those two principles of no-change and of change be connected and brought together as a single unified principle for the purpose of securing a New Just World Economic Order at this present axiomatic moment of history?

PLATO’S ‘DELIRIOUS ART’ OF FORECASTING THE GOOD

Throughout history, divination has mostly been recorded as a form of manipulation of people with oracles about their uncertainties and hopes for their future. Such a form of forecasting has tended to be used to entice people into believing that something good would come if they didn’t make waves and if they accepted to go along to get along with the powers and principalities that be. Politics is nothing but a hypocritical form of that ancient practice of divination, whereby oracles are replaced by governing promises of delivering future goods. The question is: can human beings develop a higher natural state of mind, a higher knowledge, which supersedes political forms of divination, which opens the mind to direct divine inspiration, and which ultimately secures the peace of the world for mankind? Socrates and Plato thought it could be done. Do you?

LEONARDO LEAPFROGGING BETWEEN IDEAS AND SENSE PERCEPTIONS

In a previous report, I discussed a few of Leonardo and Raphael’s knot puzzles for the purpose of showing how a paradigm shift or an axiomatic change operates inside of an observer’s mind. My intention was to find out if such knots were simple decorations or if there was something more profound hidden in their principle of composition, some hidden underlying principle. In this sequel my purpose is to show that such performative knot-weaving reflects the pathways of how the human mind goes through the creative process of physical space-time like a galactic orbiting process.

How does cognitive change begin first from the future, then goes back to the past, and finally comes back forward to the present by completely reorganizing its own pathway of transformation in such a way that it has to account for the invisible inclusion of a paradigm shift in the simultaneity of eternity?

HENRY CAREY AND ERASMUS PESHINE SMITH’S ECONOMIC PRINCIPLE: INCREASING HUMAN POPULATION

The British Imperial idea that the difference between man and animal is a matter of degrees, and that man is merely an improved form of animal is categorically incorrect; animal behavior is not human behavior. During the last 6,000 years of history most human beings were considered as “intelligent cattle.” It was Lyndon LaRouche who fully understood that creativity was the most profound difference that God had created to differentiate man from the animal, because that difference is based on the power of increasing potential relative population-density. The law governing the increase of human population is, therefore, based on the law which governs the production of unlimited new ideas in science, and in artistic composition, whose purpose is to improve the universe as a whole; and, ironically, that is also the principle which governs the development of galaxies. Thus, as he improves his own humanity, man also produces what is necessary to improve the galaxy as his home.
