So life still happens and as much as you and I can do the things to try to create these little bubbles of you know, a nutrition bubble and lifestyle, and all these great little parts of our ecosystem, we still operate in an ecosystem that is generally pretty toxic in terms of all the things that are out in the air, food, water, soil and you're going — you're going to come across stuff and it is just about what do you do to increase your resilience against these things once you kill them off, like you said was some of the post infection support, you know, people may hear — hear this and think oh kill, kill, kill, but eventually we're strengthening us, too, as the host and so that's why you and I, you know, maybe we take an extra day off or we go spend
some more time in nature because that's the stuff that's going to heal you in the long term.

in perception [i.e., «our own past human experiences»]; also (all) the temporal structure of memory is
more obvious.

One way of viewing the religious crisis of our
time is to see it not
in the first instance as a challenge to the intellectual cogency of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, or other traditions, but as the gradual erosion,
in an ever
more complex and technological society, of the feeling of reciprocity with
nature, organic interrelatedness with the human community, and sensitive attention to the processes of lived experience where the realities designated by religious symbols and assertions are actually to be found, if they are found at all.
But James and Whitehead saw insuperable difficulties
in the confusing of becoming and change, and it is their insight into these difficulties, and their solution, which gave rise to a
more adequate understanding of the
nature of
time.7
He rang the changes on sin
more eloquently than anyone of our
time, but that dissection, set forth with particularly telling power
in the first volume of his Gifford Lectures, was followed by a second volume
in which his acknowledgment of the power of the gospel as grace made it possible for him to speak of «the agape of the Kingdom of God [as] a resource for the infinite development towards a
more perfect brotherhood
in history» (The
Nature and Destiny of Man, II [Scribner's, 1943], p. 85)
At the same
time, he rejects those theories, «
more or less tinged with behaviouristic psychology,» which assume» that human
nature has no dynamism of its own and that psychological changes are to be understood
in terms of the development of new «habits» as an adaptation to new cultural patterns.»
Whitehead adopts a
more orderly, systematic view of
nature, one whose structures are capable of giving rise to a unified, rational mind, while at the same
time preserving the open - ended, fluid character of the natural world which is so prominent
in our experience and which Nietzsche so rightly embraced.
At the
time Thornton had closely read The Concept of
Nature (1920) and Principles of Natural Knowledge (2d edition, 1925), tended to interpret Science and the Modern World (1925)
in line with these earlier works, and was acquainted with Religion
in the Making (1926) though somewhat unsure what to make of its doctrine of God.2 He took comfort
in Whitehead's remark concerning the immortality of the soul, and evidently wanted to apply it to all theological issues: «There is no reason why such a question should not be decided on
more special evidence, religious or otherwise, provided that it is trustworthy.
Which again amounts to saying that from the
time of Man (above all, modern Man) the factor consciousness, which for a long
time perhaps represented no
more than a secondary and accessory effect
in Nature, a simple superstructure of the factor complexity, is finally becoming individualized
in the form of an autonomous spiritual principle.

With the passage of
time and
more mature study of the
nature of scripture, as disclosed by the application of the modern historico - critical method of investigation, it is seen that the possible borrowing of Bible writers from another source
in no way affected its intrinsic worth, or even the belief that these writers were inspired
in their writing.
«Again, the corrupt and unsound form of speaking
in the plural number to a single person, you to one, instead of thou, contrary to the pure, plain, and single language of truth, thou to one, and you to
more than one, which had always been used by God to men, and men to God, as well as one to another, from the oldest record of
time till corrupt men, for corrupt ends,
in later and corrupt
times, to flatter, fawn, and work upon the corrupt
nature in men, brought
in that false and senseless way of speaking you to one, which has since corrupted the modern languages, and hath greatly debased the spirits and depraved the manners of men; — this evil custom I had been as forward
in as others, and this I was now called out of and required to cease from.
Whitehead offers an alternative formulation and claims on behalf of his formulation that it can account for all experimental results accounted for by the Einsteinian formulation but that it represents a different interpretation of these results
in terms of a
more adequate concept of
nature (PNK vi; CN vii, 182; IS 125 - 35).18 The major theoretical difference between the two formulations is that whereas
in the Einsteinian formulation the metric structure of the space -
time continuum is variable from point to point and
in differing directions (that is, heterogeneous and nonisotropic),
in the Whiteheadian formulation the metric structure of the space -
time continuum is uniform from point to point and
in differing directions (that is, homogeneous and isotropic).
Newton's theory of space and
time structure is
more detailed than is indicated
in the preceding analysis; for instance, there is a theological dimension to Newton's theory.16 For present purposes, however, only one further notion concerning the
nature of absolute space and absolute
time in Newton's theory is of interest.
As the «one relational complex
in which all potential objectifications find their niche,» (Process 66) for Whitehead the extensive continuum certainly corresponds to the breadth of vision of the divine primordial
nature, even as the space -
time continuum as a partial realization of the extensive continuum corresponds to the
more limited character of the divine consequent
nature here and now Thus, even though Whitehead does not make explicit use of field - oriented imagery to describe the God - world relationship, the concepts are at hand to sustain that line of thought.8
But it took us a long
time to realise that the
more stable and immobile a given object
in Nature may appear to be, the greater is the likelihood that it represents a profound and majestic process of movement.
Time, or
more accurately, becoming seems to be
more fundamental
in the light of available evidence, while spatial relations are mere instantaneous cross-sections
in what Whitehead called the «creative advance of
nature» and Bergson, before him, «true duration.»
When the astronomical revolution of the sixteenth century —
in which the Italian philosophers of the Renaissance played a far
more important role than historians of science admit — removed the universal cosmic clock, there were two alternative ways open to physics and philosophy of
nature: either to retain the relational theory of
time and to hold with Bruno (Bruno 1879, p. 144) that «there are as many
times as there are the stars» (tot tempora quot astra), since there is no body possessing a privileged rotation motion, and the only body which allegedly had it — the sphere of the fixed stars — has been swept away; or to save the unity and homogeneity of
time by separating it from any particular motion — and this is what Newton did, anticipated
in this respect by Isaac Barrow and,
in particular, Gassendi.
In times when other forces determine the interpretations of events, nature, human life and what have you, more than religious ones do, it is, in my view, a temptation to find philosophical, theological and ethical positions that can disengage Christians from intentional interactions with alternative

The author, and perhaps Jewish thought
in general at that
time, recognized the intimate relationship of the age - old speculation of the Orient to that of Greece; both had come to express

in essential unity the conviction that human life is infused with a pervasive entity which is
more than human, finding its ultimate origin and
nature in the being of the universe.

Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith
in those
in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each
time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every
time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those
in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions...
in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal
nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is
more than a little disconcerting
