Very few artists throughout history have been able to make fundamental discoveries of principle and succeeded in expressing them in an artistic form of composition which expresses the function of the sublime. Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt Van Rijn were two of the most exceptional artists who used religious subjects to express the process of such a discovery: Leonardo’s The Last Supper and Rembrandt’s Supper at Emmaus exemplify such an accomplishment.

LEONARDO AND REMBRANDT: THE ARTISTIC COMPOSITION OF DISCOVERING THE SUBLIME

The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), informally called Mangalyaan (Sanskrit: मङ्गलयान: Marscraft) was successfully launched on November 5^th 2013 by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and attained its Mars objective 10 months later in the most efficient way of traveling across the Solar System. The secret to their method was as simple as it was brilliant; it was a beautiful example of a LEAST ACTION matter of mind. The Indian scientists used the Sun’s gravity of the Earth’s orbit to propel their satellite to Mars. How was this done, and what was the universal physical principle involved?

Since Lyndon LaRouche is the modern statesman who has contributed the most to the Economics of “agape,” this report on Charlemagne is dedicated to him for his 95^th birthday, September 8, 2017: Happy birthday Lyn!

CHARLEMAGNE’S ECONOMICS OF ‘AGAPE’

Four years ago, in November 2013, I wrote a paper titled ‘HOMOOUSIOUS’ (of the same substance) which discussed the epistemological significance of the consubstantiality of the Holy Trinity with reference to the consubstantiality of mind and matter and relating them to fusion processes in physics. The report was meant to show that the principles governing the human mind and those governing the physical universe of plasma physics were of the same nature. I have not abandoned that higher hypothesis since it can also be applied to economics, as I have recently demonstrated in CHARLEMAGNE’S ECONOMICS OF ‘AGAPE,’ which I dedicated to Lyndon LaRouche for his upcoming 95^th birthday, on September 8, 2017.

The present report on the “Filioque” is a continuation of that initial report written with the intention of studying more closely the significance of the paradox of the consubstantiality of the Trinity by using the historical context of the First Council of Nicea-Constantinople (325-382 A.D.) with respect to the idea that Jesus is Man-God; that is, consubstantial with the Father.

THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ‘FILIOQUE’

The difference between Raphael de Sanzio and Andrea di Bonaiuto in their artistic treatments of the fundamental differences between Plato and Aristotle is a matter of great importance for the epistemology of axiomatics, because it is timeless. Raphael explicitly represented the two philosophers in his painting, The School of Athens, as two opposite figures, one pointing upward to the domain of ideas and the other pointing downward to the domain of the senses. Almost a hundred and fifty years before, Andrea di Bonaiuto painted three frescos representing the same difference through a process of axiomatic transformation from one to the other in his masterful composition of the Spanish Chapel, in Florence.
