I hope you enjoy reading Daily Entry for this day.

Diary: Annual review progress some discovered entries and writings respite:


   

~~Four more months’ text of the 2012 review is completed, a few incomplete files discovered, looked for topics located and the lack of spring entries explained.~~

Yesterday I completed the body text for the months May through August of my 2012 Review. Next will be the rest and then the spoken words to make it complete. I have had two acknowledgements so far, from the people I sent the link to. I said I would let them know when all is complete and invited them to follow my progress.

While looking for subject content for the mentioned months to report on, I visited my own website’s 2012 Daily Entry catalogue to find some. In doing so, I discovered two partially marked up entries - 07-03 and 08-28 - and also the ones I referred to yesterday on invariants in religion and concept space - 07-16, 17.

The first discovery means a bit of extra work as well as vigilance when completing the markup and filing the entry. The second one was fortuitous, because the writings of those days will be relevant to my curriculum plans. I also notes a reference to ‘teachings’ among the entries of July and August. I also found that I wrote very little for the months of April through June; having a break from writing I noted from my remarks at that time.



Writings: Yellow Desk Tech notebook page fourteen 14:


   

~~Nine concepts relating to ’My Belief so far’ are described, such as good and evil, consciousness, authority among others, closing with central principles of various beliefs.~~

p.14:
Good and Evil are an outcome of becoming conscious. It helps decide what to do.
Consciousness is acquired / learned over time.
Belief frameworks structure the world of human experience, within which new knowledge and insights emerge [see Clayton, OUP] in the process of revelation.
God = authority, there was no other. It could not be with the Chief/ king/ priest, because he - and may be she - would take the blame for the decision made and split the community.
Conflicts are resolved by moving away and/or intermarriage, but not in/at the same situation.
Humans spend a long time - 60kyA à 40kyA learning to live with their brain - new brain.
A revolution occurs ca. 40kyA in -now- southern France (Rock [cave] paintings and new [microlith] tools).
See my talks ‘Deep Narrative 1 thru 4 about formation of religion. [This is linked to the following point on how to please gods.]
There these discoveries in pleasing the gods I.e. - ways to live: purity (Hindi), rules (Semitics -all), {Egypt - I do not know what was control best is: order (Maat) versus disorder}, suffering _ Non-attachment Buddhists, compassion - love the other - Christianity + forgiveness (enabling) of transgression.

P.15.
