Dialogos of Eide/Home

  • Cupronickel

    I must say a few things sensitized my curiosity from a dream I had some time ago referring too, the 6:1 ratio and alloys specifically mixed. It was called, ”6:1 Dream Interpretation?” So too, encapsulated for the next question, the thought had been moved by the title of an article by Charlie Angus entitled, “…

  • Sir Isaac Newton and the Alchemists used a Modal Form of  Language?

    Socrates: Yes. I think you have opened a much more interesting door than the conventional “dream symbolism” interpretation. The connection is not that 6:1 secretly means alchemy. We cannot establish that. The connection is that your experience has brought forward a question that is very much at home in Newton’s alchemical world: Can a material…

  • Distilliation, as Deductive Logic

    I mean the deductive logic while being objective according to being logical, to get to that point of knowing, was a exploration into the way deductive logic was being used. I think deductive logic is before Aristotelian from what I understand and to get to that point is critical.  As Plato tells it, the beautiful…

  • Ruminations on Alchemy of Sir Isaac Newton

    Newton’s Translation of the Emerald Tablet It is true without lying, certain and most true. That which is Below is like that which is Above and that which is Above is like that which is Below to do the miracles of the Only Thing. And as all things have been and arose from One by…

  • About Knowledge

    “As to you, Life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths, No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before.” “Leaves of Grass” by Walt Whitman Justified true belief…..does it matter what knowledge could exist in or about knowing that all knowledge exists out there somewhere and that you only have to…

  • The "Dark Night" of the Soul

    ‘Tis yours a Bacon or a Locke to blame,A Newton’s genius, or a Milton’s flame:But oh! with One, immortal one dispense;The source of Newton’s Light, of Bacon’s Sense.(Dunciad, III, 215-18) THE POETICAL WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE I would write this for those “young souls” who are “questing to a wider vision of the scope of…

  • Emotion and Reason Balanced: The Mind’s Consequence?

    For example, in 1704 Sir Isaac Newton struggled to devise mathematical formulas to equate the vibrational frequency of sound waves with a corresponding wavelength of light. He failed to find his hoped-for translation algorithm, but the idea of correspondence took root, and the first practical application of it appears to be the clavecin oculaire, an…

  • Science’s Responsibility While Investigating Consciousness?

    Our attempt to justify our beliefs logically by giving reasons results in the “regress of reasons.” Since any reason can be further challenged, the regress of reasons threatens to be an infinite regress. However, since this is impossible, there must be reasons for which there do not need to be further reasons: reasons which do…

  • The Colour of Gravity

    I am not sure how this post is to unfold, yet in my mind different exercises were unfolding as to how I should explain it. Can I come from an artist’s perspective I wondered? Say “by chance” anything that seems relevant here in writing, and any relation to science “is” metaphorical by nature? Yellow, Red,…

  • Crucible

    True creativity often starts where language ends. Arthur Koestler How many of you had thought the body you inhibit as a “vessel or a crucible?” I related in the previous post to ““Democritus had Passion and Heat?” to the idea of “Passion and Creativity” as as things that relate to the heat? Now you ask…

  • Change that Had Consequences

    In the post, Hermetic Ties, I showed how historically information was engraved, crafted, into the woodcuts, for knowledge based on alchemist interests. I further explained the process as I have come to know of it in terms of developing this “inquisitive search into the mystery’s of what life” is about how the questioning mind of…
