2. Climatology in the Islamic Period

According to Honigmann, casual climatology was totally eradicated in Syriac thought, as a result of Bardesanes' campaign against it. Hence, he argues, the Arabs, who became acquainted with climatology from the Syriac scholars, via the Persians, received only geographical climatology, meaning the theory of the seven climates. In point of fact, however, astrological climatology does resurface in the Islamic period, namely in the Encyclopedia of the Ikhwan al-Safã, the seven climates differ from one another with regard to the duration of the longest day, the physiques of human beings, and their relationship to the seven planets. For example, human beings who live under the dominion of Mars are red, while those who live in the climate of Venus are white. The fact that Maimonides and others refer to astrological climatology confirms that it was known in the Islamic age.

[...]

The Ikhwan al-Safã, who were proponents of astrological climatology, as mentioned above, may have been influenced by Hippocrates' On Airs, Waters, and Places as well. They hold that the land of the prophets and philosophers is exceedingly blessed because it is located in the fourth climate, that is, in the center of all the climates. They are referring to Iraq, of course. The view that the temperate climates are the best can also be found in al-Fârâbï and Avicenna. Maimonides, in Pirqey Moseh [§ 25 (58)] mentions al-Fãrãbi's opinion:

Abu Nasr al-Farabi has mentioned, in the Book of the Letters, that just as people of the temperate climates are more perfect in their intellect and more handsome in their physique in general - meaning that they have a more orderly character, are more handsome in the proportion of the limbs, and are more even-tempered than the people of the distant climates in the far north and south--; so too the articulation of the letters by the people of the temperate climates and the movements of their speech organs are more balanced and closer to human speech, and the articulation of the letters and movements of their speech organs are more balanced, than are those of people of the climates at the remote poles and their languages, as Galen mentioned.

The Lodge Vision

No. 123 F. & A. M. in Healdsburg California is a sanctuary for all good men who desire to be even better than they are now. A place free of religion and politics yet fortified with spiritual pursuit and diplomacy. It is not a charity, a self help group, a sobriety club, or a gentlemen's lounge. No. 123 is a modern manifestation of the oldest mystery school tradition......Erected through the gentle Craft of Freemasonry. It is not puffed up. Our casual flare and humorous fellowship outside the Lodge is rivalled only by our positively strict observance of ritual and masonic restoration. We are elite, but not elitists!

"Every candidate for the Mysteries of Masonry, at the proper time and in the appropriate manner, should be taught the truth that the *rite of Initiation* means much more than a formal ceremonial progress through the Degrees. In fact, one may receive the entire work, conferred under the most favorable circumstances, and by competent officers, and yet not perceive the true Masonic *light,* which the symbols and allegories are designed to conceal, as well as to reveal. *Initiation* is to be attained only after real labor, deep study, profound meditation, extensive research and a constant practice of those virtues which will open a true path to moral, intellectual, and spiritual illumination. "Masonry does not expound the truths concealed in her emblems. It displays the symbols and may give a hint here and there concerning some characteristic of its several meanings, but it must remain for the Neophite to search out for himself the more hidden significations."

According to figures published by the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, 7,013 Huey’s logged 7,531,955 hours of flight time. The VHPA speculates that no other aircraft in the history of warfare has logged that much combat flight time. 3,305 of those helicopters — nearly half of them — were shot down.

The Thomasschule and Thomaskirche in Leipzig, where Bach was the choir director from 1723 until his death in 1750; painting by Felix Mendelssohn, 1838

Mordy, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 23:24 (nine years ago) link

While well aware that Bach’s music “is an expression of Lutheranism” (Drury 147), he considered it “more like language than Mozart’s or Haydn’s” (C&V: 34e). And he concurred, as we have seen, with what “Bach wrote on the title page of his Orgelbuchlein, ‘To the glory of the most high God, and that my neighbour may be benefited thereby.’ That is what I would have liked to say about my work” (Drury, “Conversations,” 182). “Most sublime,” says Engelmann, “were Fritz Zweig’s renderings of Bach’s organ music (which he played to us at the synagogue when it was not in use)” (64). This is one of those typical sentences that is worth some decoding in its own right.

Berl, in his book on "Das Judentum in der Musik" ("The Role of the Jews in Music"), differentiates oriental from occidental music by designating them as linear and harmonic art, respectively; or—in still broader conception—as temporal art and spatial art. The Jew (so he says), a man of an eminently temporal frame of mind, is a melodist and only a melodist, as exemplified by the Jewish musicians Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn, Bizet (?), Offenbach, Goldmark, Mahler, or the at least anti-harmonist Schonberg.

Even if Berl's theory is not wholly conclusive (and there is no question that Schonberg's atonality derives from harmony, not from melody) he has, perhaps, with this accentuation of the linear element in Jewish music, offered a valuable suggestion. Certain it is, that music, as the sphere of mentality lying deepest in our subconsciousness, most immediately establishes our contact, so to speak, with the remote ancestral past. Just as the fully assimilated Jew even after generations betrays his origin in one way or an- other by speech, gesture, glance or mental cast, similarly, in the music of that "most German" of composers, Mendelssohn, or of the "most French" of composers, Offenbach, or of any of the "most Viennese" operetta composers, a sensitive listener can instantly detect the Jewish tinge. But what is it? It may be a something in the melody that strikes us, who are still living in the harmony of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as in some way un- worthy of art. And as to-day one faction violently rejects Men- delssohn, Meyerbeer, Offenbach, Mahler, while another lauds them to the skies, so it was in all probability with those old Jewish musicians of the seventeenth century. Only it seems likely that the Jewish "linear" element was much more strongly stressed, because the assimilation was then younger by three actively influential centuries.

"Some Early Jewish Musicians," by Paul Nettl, Musical Quarterly 1931

Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 23:54 (nine years ago) link

Hence, among those races whose music is dependent on speech, with its unstable tonal intervals, the pure "linear" element in music would probably be retained the longest. To this species belongs the "distance-music" of certain peoples like the Javanese and Siamese, who still have no idea of the harmonic principles derived from the overtones. And the experience of the Jews was probably similar to that of the peoples mentioned by Hornbostel.

This would explain why, in orientalized Spain, the variation- forms were developed, and why Orientals, and peoples akin to them, such as Spaniards, Jews, Slavs and southerners, brought forth on the whole reproductive rather than productive artists. (Production, in the occidental sense, demands originality and stability in the work of art.) Furthermore, why the Spaniards, Jews and Slavs (with the exception of the Czechs under Germanic influences) show a preference for minor melody, i.e., for music not controlled by the overtones.

And now we return to our old Jewish musicians of Prague, of whom we are willing to believe that they not only made "a trifle free with the melody," but likewise treated the rhythm (in itself a resultant of European harmony) most irrationally. And having begun our remarks by speaking of the Jewish musicians of the Italian Renaissance, we may be allowed to close with the state- ment that the highly cultivated Italy of that period had assimi- lated the Jews far more intimately than Germany, where the Jews, in their enforced isolation, could preserve their racial peculiarities far longer in fuller intensity.

That Fludd would choose to do this is not surprising. His own syncretic philosophy combined elements of Neoplatonism, hermeticism and Christian Kabbalah, with a touch of alchemy, music theory, Renaissance mechanics and Rosicrucianism. Trained as a physician, Fludd was influenced early on by the work of Paracelsus, and was intrigued by the idea of God as an alchemist, mixing matter to produce the strange brew that is the universe. At one point, Fludd describes the state prior to creation as “the mist and darkness of this hitherto shapeless and obscured region”, in which the “impure, dark, and dense part of the abyss’s substance” is dramatically transformed by divine light.1 The black square is quickly followed by a series of images – almost like a stop-motion animation – in which the divine fiat of creation and light flows forth. The Neoplatonic theme of the divine as a central source of radiating light takes over, producing the macrocosm and the microcosm, the ethereal and the earthly domains, all the stuff of the world.

This is why the future will be far better than it is now. In the coming digital world, we may be perfect, or very close to it. Expect a much more utopian society for whatever social structures end up existing in virtual reality and cyberspace. But also expect the real world to radically improve. Expect the drug user to have their addictions corrected or overcome. Expect the domestic abuser to have their violence and drive for power diminished. Expect the mentally depressed to become happy. And finally, expect the need for religion to disappear as a real-life god—our near perfect moral selves—symbiotically commune with us. In this way, the promising future of atheism and its power will reside in achieving this amazing transhumanist technology. Code, computers, and science will one day replace formal religion and its God, and we will be better as a species for it.

Three flayed squirrels on the road enact Francis Bacon’s Three Studies for a Crucifixion.

In the ancient world, it was the liver, with its mysterious folds and lesions, that was believed to hold the most information. “For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver” (Ezekiel 21:21).

The melting snow-bank slowly yields its hoard: a Sunday Times, buried by the snowplow in January; a flattened can of Red Bull; an opossum’s corkscrew tail.

On the first day of spring, I find a notice in the mailbox: time for my routine colonoscopy. I make an appointment to have my entrails read.

“Gut it out,” we say. This chipmunk did, all across the driveway.

My dog circles the dispersed feathers. It would take a forensics expert to divine what happened to this pigeon.

“I thought you were writing about divination,” my friend said. “What’s with all the road kill?” “Well,” I answered, “you don’t expect me to sacrifice animals myself, do you?”

Splanchna (singular splanchnon) are the innards, the general collection of heart, liver, lungs, gallbladder, and attendant blood vessels. English translations of splanchna depend on context. The lexicon reaches for words like “entrails” (in contexts of divination) and “bowels” (in contexts of emotion). “Feeling,” “mood,” “temper,” or “mind” often seem more apt. Splanchna feel. They feel anxiety, fear, grief, and sometimes love and desire. In the New Testament, splanchnizomai is “I feel pity.” Splanchna soften in worry. The bully Menelaus “will soften his splanchna” when his daughter is at risk. But in vehement feeling they are hot and taut. A young man “has a stretched splanchnon and says foolish things.”

How physical is this word? Sometimes the physicality seems obvious. When the Erinyes have chased Orestes, their splanchnon “pants with many labors.” But sometimes it is less obvious. The word can read like “character.” It is unfair, for instance, to dislike someone before you “clearly learn their splanchnon.”

Rather than prejudge this word’s concreteness or abstraction, let us watch how the word behaves and what ideas it attracts to its neighborhood. Splanchna contain feeling, but also hide it. One may conceal feeling “under one’s splanchna.” The very inner thing that must be learned, if we want to know people, masks their feeling. Tragedy, especially Euripides, gives voice to a Greek sense of lack here. There is no “clear proof” by which to understand phrenes (which I take, for the moment, to mean “mind”). If good people lived twice, then, “it would be possible to know the bad, the good.” External judgment is confusing. “There is no clear boundary set by the gods between the good and bad.” One cannot “judge” people by a “clear” outside token, there is no “accurate” test of their value.

This thought is voiced increasingly through the fifth century. Only being with people helps us judge them. We cannot see into another’s splanchna. Would it were possible, says a fifth-century drinking-song,

to see what sort of man each person is,
divide up (dielonta) his breast
and look at his mind (nous), then close it again,
and think with an undeceiving mind (phren)
that he’s your friend.

The Byzantine scholar Eustathius aligned this song with an Aesopic fable that blamed Prometheus for placing pulai, “gates,” in the human breast. He interprets the splanchna here as gates of thought and feeling, gates we close against outsiders. We are doubly masked. Our innards in themselves are hard to see, and they mask the feelings they contain. Perhaps these are two ways of saying the same thing.

When the Kachinas entered the kiva without masks, I had a great surprise. They were not spirits, but human beings. I recognized nearly every one of them and felt very unhappy, because I had been told all my life that the Kachinas were gods. I was especially shocked and angry when I saw all my uncles, fathers, and clan brothers dancing as kachinas. I felt the worst when I saw my own father— and whenever he glanced at me I turned my face away. When the dances were over the head man told us with a stern face that we knew who the Kachinas really were and that if we ever talked about this to uninitiated children we would get a thrashing even worse than the one we had received the night before.

Our idea of dirt is compounded of two things, care for hygiene and respect for conventions. The rules of hygiene change, of course, with changes in our state of knowledge. As for the conventional side of dirt-avoidance, these rules can be set aside for the sake of friendship. Hardy’s farm labourers commended the shepherd who refused a clean mug for his cider as a ‘nice unparticular man’:

‘“A clane cup for the shepherd,” said the maltster commandingly. ‘“No – not at all,” said Gabriel, in a reproving tone of considerateness. “I never fuss about dirt in its pure state and when I know what sort it is . . . I wouldn’t think of giving such trouble to neighbours in washing up when there’s so much work to be done in the world already.”’

In a more exalted spirit, St. Catherine of Sienna, when she felt revulsion from the wounds she was tending, is said to have bitterly reproached herself. Sound hygiene was incompatible with charity, so she deliberately drank of a bowl of pus.

Whether they are rigorously observed or violated, there is nothing in our rules of cleanness to suggest any connection between dirt and sacredness. Therefore it is only mystifying to learn that primitives make little difference between sacredness and uncleanness.

The Witchcraft Act (9 Geo. II c. 5) was a law passed by the Parliament of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1735 which made it a crime for a person to claim that any human being had magical powers or was guilty of practising witchcraft. The maximum penalty set out by the Act was a year's imprisonment.

It thus marks the end point of the period Witch trials in the Early Modern period for Great Britain and the beginning of the "modern legal history of witchcraft", repealing the Witchcraft Acts which were based on a widespread belief in the genuine existence of magic and witchcraft.[1]

The law was described as "a heavy-handed piece of Enlightenment rationalism", reverting to the view of the medieval Church[2] that witchcraft and magic were illusory, treating as an offence not the supposed practice of witchcraft but the superstitious belief in its existence.[1] .....

The Witchcraft Act is still in force in Israel, having been introduced into the legal system of the British Mandate over Palestine; Israel gained its independence before the law was repealed in Britain in 1951. Article 417 of the Israeli Penal code of 1977, incorporating much legislation inherited from British and Ottoman times, sets two years' imprisonment as the punishment for "witchcraft, fortune telling, or magic for pay".[10] The law in Israel applies only to practitioners of witchcraft who charge a fee.

During each vacuum decay test, isolate the system from the vacuum pump and wait to see if the pressure rises (water is boiling off). Because the quantity of gas trapped in the system is essentially zero, you don't need to make any compensation for temperature changes.

If you see an increase in pressure, the system could have a leak, but this is very doubtful since you have already passed the pressure decay leak test with the system at a much higher pressure, unless it was a low pressure system. If the pressure increases to a point and then stops at some point either above or below 0 psig, this indicates that water (if below 0 psig) or refrigerant (if above 0 psig) is still evaporating. Only if the system had a leak would the pressure increase stop at 0 psig (atmospheric pressure).

If the pressure increases above 0 psig, refrigerant is still trapped in the system. The refrigerant could be trapped in or under any oil in the system. The trapped refrigerant is continuing to evaporate, which causes the vapor pressure to rise above ambient pressure.

If the pressure rises from the initial deep vacuum but stops at some vacuum level below ambient pressure, water is probably trapped in the system. Table 11 provides the saturation pressure/temperature chart for water at different evacuation levels.

One of the main themes of the book is that the literary techniques used to construct a cosmos split between divine and demonic also undermine that very distinction. Such techniques include the portrayal of divine and demonic entities as linguistic and phenomenal twins. Divine and demonic personae as portrayed as continually engaged in intimate relations. Zoharic writers portray these relations in vivid and, again, theologically shocking images. Divine and demonic personae are depicted as born from the same gestational processes taking place in the “Supernal Mother” (Ima Ila’ah); divine and demonic personae are depicted as engaged in nurturing, “suckling” relationships (yenikah) with each other; divine and demonic personae are depicted as engaged in sexual relationships with each other. One consequence of these diverse processes is a variety of divine/demonic confusions.

A particularly dangerous set of phenomena are portrayed in myths that I call “aggressive enclothing” and “impersonation.” These phenomena are emphasized in the Tikkune Ha-Zohar and Ra’ya Mehemna, two anonymous works written slightly after the bulk of the Zoharic literature.

Such myths portray assaults by a demonic entity or persona, which take the form of “enclothing” a divine core with a demonic exterior. This “enclothing” results in a capture of the divine by the demonic and the emergence of an entity which is an ontological mixture of the two.

These kabbalistic myths draw on far older rabbinic tales of “talking idols.” Those tales depict two notorious idol-makers, Jeroboam and Nebuchadnezzar, placing the divine name in statues, enabling the latter to proclaim, “I am the Lord thy God.” Even in the rabbinic tales, the perverse phenomena are not merely magicians’ illusions, but emerge from the real subordination of a divine power to the nefarious purposes of a wicked human being. In the kabbalistic re-appropriation of these tales, it is the demonic itself which assaults the divine with its aggressive acts of enclothing.

The danger of confusion posed by aggressive enclothing becomes most acute when it is combined with the twinning phenomena I described earlier. If the entity doing the enclothing is indistinguishable from that which is enclothed, the task of telling divine from demonic, good from evil, becomes almost impossible.

A world in which such impersonation becomes pervasive is a horrifying prospect: the difference between good and evil, friend and foe, God and the Devil, becomes impossible to determine with certainty. Self and Other are at their most antagonistic, and yet at their most indistinguishable. Such a vision is, in fact, the stuff from which many a fictional tale of horror is made; it also corresponds to the terrifying existential dilemmas portrayed by many a modern philosopher.

And yet: the etiology provided by Zoharic mythology of this horrifying vision also hints that such a world is but one step away from redemption. Zoharic mythology shows that the possibility of a world of simulacra lies in the shared origins, desires, and sustenance of divine and demonic. These twins are locked in lethal embrace precisely because of their tragic cognitive and ontological separation, a separation with a history, a reversible history. The aggressive mirroring or even coercive amalgamation of divine and demonic may prove to be a monstrous, reified form of the primordial indifferentiation out of which they both emerge, and thus a promise of redemption in grotesque form.
