Eve REVERE – The YIN MIND: Science, The Pursuit of Knowledge
The YIN MIND ____________________________________ The very word: “science” means precisely what is contained in and is conveyed by the phrase: “the pursuit of knowledge”. However, science is a particular set of means and a group of methods of pursuing knowledge. The axioms and the truisms of science need close examination and a very full consideration, in order to disclose and in order to reveal: embedded superstitions and concealed assumptions that are cloaked and … [Read more...]

Eve REVERE – The YIN MIND: Intervals and Increments of Space and Distance and Inferred and Implied Harmonics
Intervals and Increments of Space and Distance and Inferred and Implied Harmonics (my friend ROY G. BIV) ___________________________________________________________ In the same way that we have fiat values for economies and for values, we have fiat values for intervals and for increments of space and of distance. Whether we consider inches or meters, these are fiat values. Standards may reference a preserved master interval or increment, operationally we divide or we multiply these fiat … [Read more...]
EVE REVERE: The YIN MIND – The Pursuit of Liberation and Enlightenment
The YIN MIND ____________________________________________________________________________________ It is a culturally propagated influence: simplify and generalize! Why? Because we are cognitively impaired. We are and we have become closed. We seek certainty. Analysis is the method: to know by taking things apart, with our minds or with our hands. One scientific method commends us to isolate and to define. We presume a single path connection of cause and effect. In fact, at … [Read more...]
EVE REVERE: The YIN MIND – Systemic Dissipative Structure
The YIN MIND ___________________________________________________________ We live in a culture that commends that we get as much as we can and give as little as we can. Yet, life is characterized by flow. This motto, about getting and giving counters this principle about life as flow.

EVE REVERE: The YIN MIND – ‘The Eternal and Ephemeral’
__________________________________________________________ Whether it was Wallace or Darwin who was first, they both learned: species adapt to their environment. Wallace found insects, beetles, that had differences of form on two sides of a river. Darwin found that isolating factors caused species to adapt: islands, mountain ranges, rivers, they all supplied isolating factors. However, beyond the isolating factors of nature, there are self imposed isolating factors i.e. the belief in … [Read more...]
