Physics
Origin: “pertaining to nature.” Physics is the science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force.

Science
Origin: “to know.” Science is systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.

Know
Origin: “be able to.” To know is to apprehend clearly and with certainty.

Able
Origin: “to have, hold.” To have necessary power, skill, resources, or qualifications.

Knowledge
Origin: “to know.” Knowledge is acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation.

Physical
Origin: “pertaining to nature.” Physical indicates connected with, pertaining to that which is material.

Material
Origin: “belonging to matter.” Material pertains to the substance or substances of which a thing is made or composed.

Observation
Origin: “to watch, regard, attend to.” To observe is to regard with attention, especially so as to see or learn something. You can observe only that which has impact on your senses.

Experimentation
Origin: “to try, test.” To experiment is to try or test, especially in order to discover or prove something.

Matter
Origin: “woody part of a tree.” Matter is the substance or substances of which any physical object consists or is composed.

Substance
Origin: “That which stands under.” Something that can be felt as being substantial. In Physics, a substance is something that can have impact.

Energy
Origin: “to be active.” Energy is the capacity for vigorous activity; available power. The substance of light is called energy because of its extreme speed.

Motion
Origin: “to move.” Motion is the action or process of moving or of changing place or position.

Force
Origin: “strong.” Force is an influence on a body or system, producing or tending to produce a change in movement or in shape or other effects.

Body
Body is any mass, especially one considered as a whole.

Mass
Origin: “barley cake.” Mass is the quantity of matter as determined from its weight or from Newton’s second law of motion. 

System
Origin: “that stands together.” In physics, system refers to a physical structure considered as a whole.

Meditation: Key Concepts

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

This is a Key Word List and Glossary for the subject of Meditation.

.

Key Word List

Physical objects, Mental objects, Meditation, Living meditation, Focus on breath, Restraining reaction, Realizations, Open-eyes meditation, Walking meditation, Focus in meditation, Principle of consistency 

.

Glossary

Physical objects
The physical objects result from the assimilation of perceptual elements coming from the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Mental objects
The mental objects are memories, thoughts, and feelings triggered by incoming perceptual elements. Mental objects arise because of existing impressions in the mental matrix that are not fully assimilated.

Meditation
In meditation, you focus on the assimilation of the mental objects. So, you at first minimize and control the incoming perceptual elements.

Living meditation
Living meditation is to note the inconsistency in your own behavior, such as, sexual activity, speaking falsely, intoxicants, stealing, etc., and look at it more closely.

Focus on breath
Focus on breath is a method to minimize and control the incoming perceptual elements.

Restraining reaction
Restraining reactions helps one look at the mental objects one at a time in the order they are demanding attention.

Realizations
Intense looking at the mental objects helps them assimilate. As a result, realizations come about.

Open-eyes meditation
Open-eyes meditation is meditation with eyes open. It is a higher gradient of meditation as it triggers greater number of mental objects. This is usually attempted after most mental objects triggered while mediating with eyes closed have been assimilated.

Walking meditation
Walking meditation is meditation with eyes open while walking. This is a still higher gradient of meditation. This is attempted after open-eyes meditation while sitting has been successfully accomplished.

Focus in meditation
Meditation is at first focused on fixed beingness recognized as Matter. It then expands to the activity of the beingness recognized as Energy. Further expansion of focus includes all dimensions of beingness and activity, which is recognized as Space. Further expansion of focus on Time includes changes in all these dimensions and their evolution over a life time. Finally, the focus of meditation expands to the sphere of considerations, which is recognized as Thought.

Principle of consistency 
Just like the principle of entropy, there seems to be a principle of consistency. Considerations, as and when discovered, readjust themselves toward consistency with background considerations. If there is an inconsistency, then there is an undiscovered consideration.

The Universe & Thinking

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

This Key Word List and Glossary considers thinking in the universe. Looking is inevitably followed by thinking to fill in the gaps from looking. The essence of thinking is to establish continuity, consistency and harmony of reality.

.

Key Word List

Thinking, Postulate, Truth, Anomaly, Reason, Visualize, Create, Thought, Consideration, Logic, Consciousness, Speculation

.

Glossary

Thinking
Thinking is postulating and interjecting ideas to make sense out of what is there. Thinking starts with making considerations.

Postulate
A postulate is a self-created truth based on which further reasoning is done. A postulate is made of perceptual elements.

Truth
Truth is the integrity (continuity, consistency, and harmony) of reality. In other words, truth is an absence of anomalies. To the degree anomalies are present, some truth is missing.

Anomaly
An anomaly is any violation of the integrity of reality, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

Reason
Origin: “Ratio.” Reasoning is generating patterns in mental matrix that are continuous consistent and harmonious (have no anomalies), to resolve inconsistencies.

Consideration
To consider is to examine what is there and give it a shape through visualization. A consideration is the shape given as a structure of associations. The moment something is triggered by the unknowable, it is defined in the mind by considerations.

Visualize
To visualize is to rearrange perceptual elements into a new pattern.

Create
The ability to create is the ability to visualize something consistent.

Thought
Thought is the dimension of relations, associations, considerations, concepts, and ideas. The continuity, consistency and harmony in this dimension provides the sense of logic.

Logic
Origin: “Of speech or reason.” Logic is the system or principles of reasoning. The basic condition of logic is the continuity, harmony and consistency of reality. The mind naturally follows that condition unless interfered with.

Consciousness
Consciousness is the result of assimilation of the mental matrix. The finer is the assimilation, the greater is the consciousness.

Speculation
Origin: “to watch over, explore“. There is always some speculation in thinking, but thinking reduces to speculation only, when possibilities are entertained that do not have firm basis.

Objective and Subjective

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

When Kant came along he introduced the idea of “object-in-itself” that is beyond experience. This influenced the definitions of the following words:

Objective
Origin: “something thrown down or presented (to the mind).” Objective is something that belongs to the object of thought. It is something clearly graspable visibly and intellectually and, therefore, considered factual. It is not subject to personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice. Example: an objective opinion.

After Kant the definition of “Objective” was corrupted by some to mean “an absolute form of object that is beyond intellectual grasp.”

Subjective
Origin: “to throw or place beneath.” Subjective is something that belongs to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought. It pertains to the characteristic of an individual. It is subject to personal feelings, interpretations, prejudice or speculation. Example: a subjective speculation.

After Kant the definition of “Subjective” was corrupted by some to mean “all things grasped by the mind.”

.

Kant was basically talking about the “Unknowable”.

Unknowable
That, which is before the beginning of the universe. It cannot be known because it is not manifested. It is different from “unknown,” which is something manifested but not known.

.

The Unknowable cannot be differentiated any further because it is unknowable. It cannot be defined as “absolute form of an object” because that would simply be speculation, and that speculation would exist in the mind.

So, the later (post-Kant) interpretations of Objective and Subjective are inherently inconsistent.

.

Summary

“Unknowable” and “Knowable” is the first level of categorization. Then under Knowable, we have objective and subjective as the second level of categorization. Unknowable, being unknowable, cannot be equated with anything. So you cannot equate objective with unknowable. When you make the error of equating objective with unknowable, then you also make the error of equating subjective with everything knowable, making this second level categorization useless.

The Universe & Looking

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

This Key Word List and Glossary considers looking at the universe. The essence of looking is assimilation of what is perceived.

.

Key Word List

Looking, Inconsistency, Arbitrary, Attention, Unassimilated impression, Unstacking, Free Association, Directed Process, Memory, Time stamp,  Experiencing

.

Glossary

Looking
Looking means to observe and recognize things for what they are. Looking does not involve thinking. Accurate perception requires the elimination of inconsistencies through unstacking of unassimilated impressions.

Inconsistency
An inconsistency is something that is not consistent with its surroundings. It is arbitrary to some degree. Yet it is accepted because it seems to explain some confusion. Examples of this would be unreal beliefs that people carry around, and strange rituals that they engage in.

Arbitrary
An arbitrary consists of the assumption or projection made during the assimilation of perceptual elements to maintain continuity, consistency and harmony in the mental matrix. The arbitrariness exists because not all data is known. It generates anomalies when various data is associated. These anomalies show up as doubts and perplexities, which are then resolved by getting more precise data.

Attention
Attention, when left to itself, generally goes to those areas where the processing of sensory input is slowed or blocked by inconsistencies.

Unassimilated impression
Unassimilated impressions consists of sensations, perceptions and knowing that have not been assimilated. At the root of unassimilated sensations are traumas that are too chaotic to be assimilated. Until they are assimilated, the subsequent perceptions and knowing also remain unassimilated to some degree. 

Unstacking
Unassimilated impressions stack up in the mind waiting to be assimilated. They unstack only by themselves when not interfered with, under deep concentration and free association.

Free Association
In free association one looks at the mind without interfering with it. Attention may flip from place to place; but as one keeps looking non-judgmentally without resistance, a pattern may emerge. As one keeps looking, the pattern may reveal some inconsistency. Such free association is non-verbal.

Directed Process
A directed process simply provides some assistance to a person in looking, with the proviso that the process does not imply that there must be something to be found in that direction. The directed process constrains free association to that direction.

Memory
Origin: “remembering”. When recalled, perceptual elements come together per their time stamps to generate the memory. Memory operates in the background to support computations. Memory does not consist of readymade recordings stored in the mind. 

Time stamp
Time stamp is the sense of successive occurrence coded in the perceptual elements.

Experiencing
Experiencing is a deeper form of looking. It is looking at the feelings, emotions, sensations and efforts arising in the mind and felt in the body. These are flows that outpour or discharge when not resisted.
