Compassion: Encyclopedia II - On the Nature of Things - Seeing with compassion

Lucretius's view is austere, but nevertheless he points out that a few enlightened individuals can escape periodically from their own hungers and passions and look down with compassion on poor humanity, including themselves, who are on average ignorant, unhappy, and yearning for something better than what they see around them. Personal responsibility then consists of speaking and living personal truth. Accordingly, On the Nature of Things (Latin: Dē rērum nātūrā) is Lucretius's personal statement of truth to an ignorant audience. He hopes that someone will hear, ...

Compassion: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Hierarchy of Compassion, Spiritual-psychological Hierarchy

Hierogrammatists (from Greek hierogrammateus from hieros sacred + grammateus scribe)

 

Applied by Greek writers to the sacred scribes of ancient Egypt, who wrote and read the sacred records, and among whose functions was that of the instruction of initiants or neophytes preparing for initiation.

Compassion: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Hierarchy of Compassion, Spiritual-psychological Hierarchy

Hierarchy of Compassion, Spiritual-psychological Hierarchy The hierarchy of spiritual beings extending from the highest solar or galactic monad, to the least element forming its vehicles or being.

 

"It is built of divinities, demigods, buddhas, bodhisattvas, and great and noble men, who serve as a living channel for the spiritual currents coming to this and every other planet of our system from the heart of the solar divinity, and who themselves shed glory and light and peace upon that pathway from the compassionate deeps of their own being. . . .

 

"On our earth there is a minor hierarchy of light. Working in this sphere there are lofty intelligences, human souls, having their respective places in the hierarchical degrees. These masters or mahatmas are living forces in the spiritual life of the world; and awakened minds and intuitive hearts sense their presence, at least at times" (FSO 467-8). The head of the terrestrial spiritual-psychological hierarchy is a being sometimes called the Silent Watcher, who acts as a channel for all the spiritual forces flowing to and from the earth, and who is connected inwardly with all the beings on earth.

 

In theosophical literature, the Hierarchy of Compassion of our solar system is sometimes given as:

1)    adi-buddhi (primal wisdom), the mystic universally diffused essence;

2)    mahabuddhi (universal buddhi), the Logos;

3)    daiviprakriti (universal divine light), universal life, the Second Logos;

4)    ) Sons of Light, the seven cosmic logoi, the logoi of cosmic life, the Third Logos;

5)    dhyani-buddhas (buddhas of contemplation);

6)    dhyani-bodhisattvas (bodhisattvas of contemplation);

7)    manushya-buddhas (human buddhas), racial buddhas;

8)    bodhisattvas; and

9)    men.

 

Here, the Sons of Light or the seven cosmic logoi emanating from the sun and working in its kingdom are the parents of the rectors or planetary spirits of the seven sacred planets. The seven dhyani-buddhas, also called the celestial buddhas or causal buddhas, through their emanated representatives each govern one round of the septenary cycles of evolution on a planetary chain. The seven dhyani-bodhisattvas, or bodhisattvas of the celestial realms, similarly through their emanated representatives each govern one of the seven globes comprising a planetary chain.

 

The manushya-buddhas are the buddhas which watch over the root-races in a round, two appearing in every race, one near the commencement and one near the midpoint of each root-race. Gautama Buddha was the second racial buddha of the fifth root-race.

 

The bodhisattvas of earth are those spiritual and intellectually advanced human beings who leave the nirvana of buddhahood in order to remain on earth for their sublime work of aiding, stimulating, and guiding those hosts of entities, including humanity, trailing behind them.

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Magnetic declination - Where compasses point

Magnetic north and south, on the other hand, are widely misunderstood. The statement is often made that magnetic north is the direction to the North Magnetic Pole. This is, in most places, fairly close to being true. Of course, as with geographic poles, the direction of interest is almost always a horizontal direction. But the horizontal direction in question is that of the needle of a good compass, which nearly always differs measura ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Constructible polygon - Compass-and-straightedge constructions

Compass-and-straightedge constructions are known for all constructible polygons. If n = p·q with p = 2 or p and q coprime, an n-gon can be constructed from a p-gon and a q-gon. If p = 2, draw a q-gon and bisect one of its central angles. From this, a 2q-gon can be constructed. If p > 2, inscribe a p-gon and a q-gon in the same circle in such a way that they share a vertex. ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Richard O'Connor - The Italian Offensive and Operation Compass

Italy declared war on Britain and France on 10 June 1940. O'Connor was appointed Commander of the Western Desert Force, and tasked to protect Egypt and the Suez Canal from Italian attack. To accomplish this, O'Connor planned to use a screen of light tanks and armored cars, supported by artillery, to delay the Italians led by Marshal Rodolfo Graziani. In command of this delaying force was Brigadier General Gott. Meanwhile, the main force was to retreat towards Mersa Matruh and the Baggush Box where strong fixed defences had been prepared. These would stop the Italians long enough for re ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Magnetic declination - Using the declination

Magnetic declination - Adjustable compasses. A magnetic compass points to magnetic north. Modern navigational compasses usually include a "baseplate" marked with a compass rose and a scale of degrees; some include a declination adjustment. Such an adjustment permits the baseplate to turn relative to an arrow, usually red, on the top of the cylinder that contains the compass needle, and measures the angle by which it has been turned. Either the cylinder will have a mark to be read against the scale of degrees on t ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Magnetic declination - Navigation

In navigation the terminology of geomagnetism is used differently and in particular magnetic declination is divided into two parts namely Magnetic Variation and Magnetic Deviation, there are also three types of bearings True, Magnetic and Compass which are related by the rules. Compass Bearing +/- Deviation = Magnetic Bearing Magnetic Bearing +/- Variation = True Bearing ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Constructible polygon - Conditions for constructibility

Some regular polygons are easy to construct with compass and straightedge; others are not. This led to the question being posed: is it possible to construct all regular n-gons with compass and straightedge? If not, which n-gons are constructible and which are not? Carl Friedrich Gauss proved the constructibility of the regular 17-gon in 1796. Five years later, he developed the theory of Gaussian periods in his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae. This theory allowed him to formulate a sufficient condition for the c ...

Only five Fermat primes are known: F0 = 3, F1 = 5, F2 = 17, F3 = 257, and F4 = 65537 (sequence A019434 in OEIS). Thus an n-gon is constructible if n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 20, 24, ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Constructible polygon - General theory

In the light of later work on Galois theory, the principles of these proofs have been clarified. It is straightforward to show from analytic geometry that constructible lengths must come from base lengths by the solution of some sequence of quadratic equations. In terms of field theory, such lengths must be contained in a field extension generated by a tower of quadratic extensions. It follows that a field generated by constructions will always have degree over the base field that is a power of two. In the specific case of a regular n-gon, the question reduces to the question of cons ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Magnetic declination - Theory

Magnetic declination - Change of declination in time and space. Magnetic declination varies both from place to place, and with the passage of time. In most areas, the spatial variation reflects the irregularities of the flows deep in the earth; in some areas, deposits of iron ore or magnetite in the earth's crust may contribute strongly to the declination. The time variation reflects changes in the deep flows: a flow becoming stronger or weaker, changing direction, or shifting its location. In each ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - On the Nature of Things - What draws men to religion?

Lucretius has compassion for those men who do not understand the mechanisms of the universe that gave them birth. He felt these ignorant and unfortunate men need religion to explain where they came from, why good things sometimes occur, and what could possibly shield them from the misfortunes they see fall upon others. Nor [is this the place] to pursue the atoms one by one, To see the law whereby each thing goes on. But some men, ignorant of matter, think, Opposing this, that not without the gods, ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - Double switching - Accidents

Double switching - Clapham. The Clapham Junction rail crash of 1988 was caused in part by the lack of double switching (known as "double cutting" in the British Railway industry). The signal relay in question was switched ("cut") in only the "active" side, while the return current came back on a unswitched wire. A loose wire bypassed the contacts by which the train detection relays switched the signal, allowing the signal to show green when in fact there was a stationary train ahead. 35 peopl ...

Compassion: Encyclopedia II - World Vision - History

World Vision was started by Dr. Bob Pierce, a young Christian minister in China and then Korea, in the Youth for Christ organization. Pierce felt compassion for the children in his ministry. He gave all he had to a little girl whose widowed mother could not afford to send her to the mission school. His $5 was enough to enroll White Jade into school and he pledged to send money every month for her continued support. This spontaneous act was the beginning of the global child sponsorship program. Pierce resigned from the organization in 1967; in 1970, he took over a small hunger organization that be ...
