Retrospection 10

*About Brain, History, Memory, Bandwidth of Consciousness, Subjective-Objective, Words, Verse, The number of the Beast, The Music of the Spheres, Number Magic, History of Music.* In this Retrospection, we begin with rather “heavy” topics and a series of four articles I published here he first week of March 2021. 1. Brain & Horror Vacui (Fear of the void) https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/brain-horror-vacui-fear-of-the-void-ae876896 2. History – Understand the Present by Understanding the Past https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/history-understand-the-present-by-understanding-the-past-54e66be9 3. Memory as Soft or Hard History https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/memory-as-soft-or-hard-history-29978e19 4. Bandwidth Of Brain and Consciousness https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/bandwidth-of-brain-and-consciousness-2207fe01 In the series I discuss certain properties of brain and consciousness, reliability of perception and memory, bandwidth of brain and consciousness, and the importance of history. As a matter of fact, I am diving deeper in the concept of history, trying to define what history really is and how reliable it is in its various forms. These four articles were originally one long essay, as such published in my own e-magazine, Meriondho Leo, in 2011, and as a part of my e-book “Reality & Mind” (2018). Let's continue with a related article, Words, Consciousness & Beyond. It is about how interconnected words, thinking and consciousness are. Is it possible to think without words? Are we prisoners in our consciousness and its never ending stream of words? https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/words-consciousness-beyond-f32317bc More about words: Words are Power - But only if you Have Something to Say. The title of this article is self-explanatory. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/words-are-power-but-only-if-you-have-something-to-say-dd4dca45 Verse, alliteration and rhyming probably started as mnemo-technical tools, used to structure the content of texts so they become easier to remember. Read more about that and other aspects of words in Rhyme & Reason: Verse, Structure, & Memory. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/rhyme-reason-verse-structure-memory-f6ba9e9c Philosophically I am a subjectivist and I have touched that perspective in a number of articles. However, it is most clear in What is Special with Number 7? https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/whats-special-with-number-7-47e6a9cd Are the octave and the Pythagorean scale part of the very fabric of cosmos or reality? Read more in The Octave & The Music of the Spheres. Here I also discuss the scale's connection to number seven and twelve. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-octave-the-music-of-the-spheres-0034a105 Since we slipped into the subject of numbers... According to St. Augustine, God created the world in 6 days because six is a perfect number. Learn why it is perfect by reading Perfect & Multiperfect Numbers. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/perfect-multiperfect-numbers-5ee182b9 In Genesis 32:14, one can learn that Jacob sent his brother Esau "two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams." Why 220 turns up here, is explained in Amicable & Sociable Numbers. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/amicable-social-numbers-ec0f8895 When we discuss numbers we just have to include 666, the number of the beast. Few numbers have been the subject of so much speculation throughout the times. I try to explain it in The Number 666 & The Essence of the Beast . https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-number-666-the-essence-of-the-beast-f6de601b In culture, symbology and magic, four numbers occur more than others: three, four, seven and twelve. Interestingly, seven and twelve can be generated from three and four. Number Magic 1: Three & Four https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/number-magic-1-three-four-e4689164 Number Magic 2: Seven https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/number-magic-2-seven-7294599b Number Magic 3: Twelve https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/number-magic-3-twelve-17e84054 If you are interested in numbers, you can also read: Two tricks based on the circularity of 9 and The Goldbach Conjecture https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/two-tricks-based-on-the-circularity-of-9-be070ce5 https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-goldbach-conjecture-3745051c Another article that belongs here is Symbols & Their Opposite: Mathematics & Music, which binds together mathematics and music, and further expresses my subjectivist perspective. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/symbols-their-opposite-mathematics-music-94a7a931 Since we have touched the subject of music, we can take a look at my articles about music and music history. So far, my index has only six articles under the label Music & History of Music. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#music-amp-history-of-music Handel, Haydn & The Day When Time Stopped https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/handel-haydn-the-day-when-time-stopped-6496df90 The Greatest Victory https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-greatest-victory-e440f74a The Octave & The Music of the Spheres https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-octave-the-music-of-the-spheres-0034a105 Symbols & Their Opposite: Mathematics & Music https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/symbols-their-opposite-mathematics-music-94a7a931 The Kreutzer Sonata: How Art Inspires to Art, which Inspires to Art... https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/the-kreutzer-sonata-how-art-inspires-to-art-which-inspires-to-art-3dced6f6 Pictures at an Exhibition https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/pictures-at-an-exhibition-48b5889b Two of these were discussed above. Of the rest, I will only comment the first one. It is a long article encompassing more topics than the title implies. *The day the time stopped* leads us far away from European history of music, although there is one small common denominator. All my articles connected to numbers or mathematics can be found here, and to music here. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#numbers https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#music-amp-history-of-music My series “Retrospection” is primarily created for new readers of mine, as a manual into my production at this platform so far - but it can be read by anyone who wants to explore my articles topic by topic, rather than doing so in chronological order. In addition to that, my retrospections contain new comments and from time to time short personal stories connected to the relevant topic or topics. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#retrospection Previously published “Retrospections” are: Retrospection 1 (About Japanese Art & Cultural History.) https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/retrospection-1-a78bc572 Retrospection 2 (About Egyptology & about Coffee.) https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/retrospection-2-a54911f7 Retrospection 3 (About Quotes, Sayings and Proverbs; and about creating new words.) https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/retrospection-3-d8bc8727 Retrospection 4 (About dinosaurs, reptiles, dragons and to some extent birds.) https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/retrospection-4-0c1add0e Retrospection 5 (About Privacy, Freedom and Politics.) https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/retrospection-5-aaa611cc Retrospection 6 (Suggested reading.
