- 2014.11.08 (audio only)Here’s the tape. The conversation was largely about whether
empiricism is defensible. More interesting to me was the
conversation at about the hour mark that turned around the idea
that Platonic thought and those like it speak a different language
based in experience of the brilliant light of being. -Barbara - 2014.10.18

- 2014.09.20 Jeff’s Dream ExplorationJeff’s dream exploration. What is the mystery (of the dream)? Pathalogos. Problem of Ignorance.
“Not possible to not communicate a pathalogos. The parent does not know it is a pathalogos.”
“All observational statements, appear to be non-controversial, however, in the choice of the object you are going to describe empirically, you are already appointing a certain value of this over that… Pathalogos is a parental ‘truth’… The highest vision you have that you really believe you don’t know that you believe it… We are here to solve the problem of ignorance.”
- 2014.09.13 Eldar and the SymposiumSymposium, Eldar’s exploration, “Go for broke!”, Meaningful goals, Ideal goal.
- 2014.09.06Pathalogos, counterattack. Parmenides. Bhagavad Gita.
“Pathalogos once seen become meaningful.”
“Parmendes poem: opinions of mortals that lack true belief, well-rounded truth, how to judge a mere seeming.”
- 2014.08.30Socrates, Parmenides, dialectic, Truth, truth of Ideas, Philosophical Midwifery, providence.
“Legitimacy and existence of Ideas. How do you know when a question has been answered?” “What was that!? What would answer it?”
- 2014.08.23Dialectic, Providence, logos, Dream Master, Intellect, Intelligence, Mind, pathalogos, amnesia, memory, reincarnation.
“Man is really divine, he has just fallen into forgetfulness.” “Presupposes that creation is divine.”
- 2014.08.16Conclusions, Proclus, analogy, providence, dialectic, likeness, Justice.
“If you can really see on all the levels what it would be like without providence, that would then cause you to see the necessity for the existence of providence.”
- 2014.06.14Tea Party, Literalists, drones, injustice, feminism.
- 2014.06.07
- 2015.05.24Proclus, Theology of Plato, Alcibiades, Tibetan yoga, Buddhism, ousia, Thucydides.
“Proclus as a spiritual map – spot how far you have gone, progression, sufficient description that might help identify what one is encountering, dynamic aspect, energy that emerges, the idea of rest and motion.” “Buddhism in contrast to Proclus lacks analogy and hence metaphysics” “Analogy as activating ‘seeing’. With a series of analogy you can present them hierarchically.”

relate to one another analogically and how they apply to history
and the post modern movement particularly Derrida. -Barbara - 2014.11.09 3rd hypothesis.docx (doc)

What does Proclus gain by introducing Ousia?
He then can account for generation and destruction. Receiving ousia is generation and losing ousia is destruction.
