Perceptions Of Infinity

Building on recent revisionist trends, this book offers a refreshing new perspective on the Renaissance and presents an invaluable examination of continuities and discontinuities from Petrarch to Machiavelli, from Giotto to Dürer, and from Italy to Burgundy, Bohemia and beyond.

Perception is an EBook that describes the universal superstructure that pervades our universe. Whether if you watch TV, drive your car or do calculus at work. This structure grasps everywhere. It’s so universal, it governs even meta-entities like thoughts or written information. Now, let’s keep this simple: You probably noticed on one point in your life that there is an constant stream of change. Nothing seems to be certain. Everything is moving, old things go and new things come. Yet there is also a solid underlying structure: Some things always stay the same. The laws of physics are the same here as on the moon. The flow of water follows the same laws as electricity does. This “sameness” is eventually called “Self-Similarity”. It is a term used in higher mathematics. When you follow that trail you will end up at very sophisticated concepts on differential manifold, fractals or tensor products. This is the material that is kind of “hard” to access for regular people who are not active in the field. Perception is reality: That saying is still as true as it always was. What do I get from this? First of all: There is a load of knowledge that can be transferred towards everyday life and made use of. Not only in building machines, coding software or social interaction. Also in money making, business running or creating success. Knowledge on the Superstructure can enhance your life on a massive scale IF you know how to apply it. Unfortunately, that is the hard part that requires you to have either years of training, studying or learning. Yet, once you “get” the basics you will notice that it opens up a lot of shortcuts to this world. Cheat codes for the Universe!?! Yes. Perception is basically a “real-world transfer” of super-heavy math & physics. It is keptvery easy and does not require an advanced degree for understanding. I have put strong focus on keeping things simple, straight forward and fast to comprehend. ThereforePerception is made up of 70% illustrations and only 30% text. As I teached these insights in the past, I noticed that people have it way easier with a visual depiction to orientate on. And this is what I will provide you with on every landmark of the road. GIVING YOU THE EDGE Perception is reality: It describes in detail the unchanging and underlying superstructure of our universe. It will explain you how multiple layers of reality interact with you in your daily life. Some of them visible, some of them invisible and some of them very deeply in your unconsciousness. Past cultures have identified these interactions as a connection to either higher consciousness, gods or pagan entities. Yet, it’s only a very simple but elegant processthat operates behind our eyes. With Perception I will take you on a ride and show you what it’s all about. Once you “click” on some basics insights, you will be able to: Predict future events with extremely high accuracy via the principle of fractal progression Gain a competitive advantage in business, professional and academic life by the method of aligning and mapping self-similar layers Use the concept of asymmetric information within observational topology to have the upper hand in any given negotiation, discussion or relationship. Especially this one is so good; having knowledge on it should be close to being illegal. Perception is reality: Use this knowledge to your advantage. Perception pulls you into the application of advanced concepts from Information Theory, Physics and Mathematics. Even the top-notch professionals in that fields takes it years to fully comprehend, grasp and make use of these insights. Perception is a massively compressed view into high-level knowledge, simplified and eased to an enormous extend. It will save you years of studying and provide you with unique shortcuts and massive advantages: Transfer knowledge easily between different fields by means of Occult Symmetry. Use the principle of Macroscopic Superposition to create events the way you want them. If you ever wondered how the Law of Attraction works in detail- this is it. Tap into your perceptive feedback loop by means of Dimensional Synchronizationand gain instant access to the holographic database: This will allow you to request & receive any information, anytime, anywhere at zero cost. You are probably doing this already on some level- but with the exact background knowledge this will boost your efficiency by 600-700%. Perception is the Theory of Everything’s scientific base. It includes in full: the scientific blueprint all of its related, highly detailed illustrations a clean-cut to-the-point analysis for easy real-world transfer It will allow you to employ advanced scientific concepts: Make use of the Schrodinger Equation to determine which situational outcome you desire. (This will take some practice and dedication, yet its definitely worth it. The Push/Pull Emotions of your Holographic Representation play a big role in this as well as your feedback loop to the external world. Nevertheless, after some practice you can reliably choose which currently hidden alternative shall manifest in the real world. There are thousands of people who successfully employ this e.g. in gambling, business or private life.) Employ the strategy of habitual centralization to generate invisible gravity on meta entities like luck, health or financial success. (How this works, is actually pretty much common sense – yet it’s very interesting to know the mechanics behind it.) Use Dimensional Synchronization to tap into infinite knowledge. (Everyone of us uses this on some level in everyday life- yet you can boost up efficiency 5-6x times if you know how to do it right. Knowledge on this is extremely handy when it comes to learning, comprehending or planning.)

What is music?Modern society has come to view music largely as entertainment and commodity. In response, We Are Music: An Existential Journey Toward Infinity provides the reader with a holistic starting point. Music has unlimited potential to transform and enlighten, and is only impeded when bound by materialism, physicalism, and reductionism. We Are Music is an attempt to bring music back to the core of humanity as an agent of positive empowerment, self-actualization, and beyond.Embracing interconnectivity, music is more deeply experienced alongside the arts, science, social sciences, math, philosophy, history, and, above all, spirituality. An endless spiral, self-perception and identity can be vastly expanded, if not questioned and transcended.Music is an infinite field and any attempt to define and describe it is problematically finite and consequently limited. Herein lies the impossibility of the book which both excites and disturbs; the paradox of being and not being.A roadmap for music lovers toward self-realization, We Are Music is for those who desire to delve deeper into the power and illusion of self through music.

This volume offers a complete translation of the Samyutta Nikaya, The Connected Discourses of the Buddha, the third of the four great collections in the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon. The Samyutta Nikaya consists of fifty-six chapters, each governed by a unifying theme that binds together the Buddha's suttas or discourses. The chapters are organized into five major parts. The first, The Book with Verses, is a compilation of suttas composed largely in verse. This book ranks as one of the most inspiring compilations in the Buddhist canon, showing the Buddha in his full grandeur as the peerless "teacher of gods and humans." The other four books deal in depth with the philosophical principles and meditative structures of early Buddhism. They combine into orderly chapters all the important short discourses of the Buddha on such major topics as dependent origination, the five aggregates, the six sense bases, the seven factors of enlightenment, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Four Noble Truths. Among the four large Nikayas belonging to the Pali Canon, the Samyutta Nikaya serves as the repository for the many shorter suttas of the Buddha where he discloses his radical insights into the nature of reality and his unique path to spiritual emancipation. This collection, it seems, was directed mainly at those disciples who were capable of grasping the deepest dimensions of wisdom and of clarifying them for others, and also provided guidance to meditators intent on consummating their efforts with the direct realization of the ultimate truth. The present work begins with an insightful general introduction to the Samyutta Nikaya as a whole. Each of the five parts is also provided with its own introduction, intended to guide the reader through this vast, ocean-like collection of suttas. To further assist the reader, the translator has provided an extensive body of notes clarifying various problems concerning both the language and the mean

In the present book, Pauline Phemister argues against traditional Anglo-American interpretations of Leibniz as an idealist who conceives ultimate reality as a plurality of mind-like immaterial beings and for whom physical bodies are ultimately unreal and our perceptions of them illusory. Re-reading the texts without the prior assumption of idealism allows the more material aspects of Leibniz's metaphysics to emerge. Leibniz is found to advance a synthesis of idealism and materialism. His ontology posits indivisible, living, animal-like corporeal substances as the real metaphysical constituents of the universe; his epistemology combines sense-experience and reason; and his ethics fuses confused perceptions and insensible appetites with distinct perceptions and rational choice. In the light of his sustained commitment to the reality of bodies, Phemister re-examines his dynamics, the doctrine of pre-established harmony and his views on freedom. The image of Leibniz as a rationalist philosopher who values activity and reason over passivity and sense-experience is replaced by the one of a philosopher who recognises that, in the created world, there can only be activity if there is also passivity; minds, souls and forms if there is also matter; good if there is evil; perfection if there is imperfection.
