Editorial notes: Over the years, Shai used various information storage options to catalogue and maintain his library of writings. It begins with his notebooks and having moved into digital media, he begins to use blogs and writers forums as the means to store and present his final writing products. The development of digital writing seems to have evolved in two main channels. Initially in...
Editorial notes: This draft exposition is significant as it is the first documented evidence to Shai’s deep study of Kabbalistic concepts. Alongside his Kabbalistic writings, Shai also uses (sometimes extensively) a special notation for depicting combinations Hebrew letters. So, 1I refers to the Hebrew letter Aleph, 8I to the Hebrew letter Chet, and 4I to the Hebrew letter Daled. In this...
{04/11/2016} This is my own path. I’m writing this for no one except myself. If anyone should read this, be warned: You can not judge, you can not comprehend, you can not apply. Here are the wonders of my life. Who can claim them for their own? 10* for 8** for 9** of 2**/****. And at such a young age and such through such mundane experiences! Errors such as a faux-10 directing 3** receiving...
{24/10/2016} Even approaching the approaching of this thing requires consideration. {24/10/2016} The goal is a proper study. The means is to know how to study. The precursor is to wonder how to know how to study. More premises: The subject of the goal is an Aleph. (#Borges) A premise of the means is that the value of a study can vary. A fundamental question within wondering is, how is a personal...
If it is right to forfeit, then surely a final charge is warranted before we leave our body to rot (eyes bleached and vacant) in the field of action. The goal is not perfection achieved in a giant leap. Rather, to take the first n steps, in their order, as extracted from mental considerations and heuristic understanding. For example, nb. Esav is not the I, but rather a partzuf matrix, therefore...
{Part 1 – 22/10/2016} A preamble on Eastern philosophy, religion, idol worship (nb. not referencing F. Bacon[I], but weakly alluding), and phenomenological incongruencies. Any reference to Indian (whether defining geographically, as did the Muslims, vis the river, or by cultural genealogies, via translocated Arayan, [aka] Brahman lineage, or Tantric resurgence [nb. meridian axis or at least...
Compare for example Beit Hillel and Beit Shamai on washing hands before bread, and which parts of table-setting may be touched without concern for purity (for potential Teruma): [Is this seen in Brachot 8.4?][I] Does this show that when they are called lenient & strict (i.e. in those few cases which are said to be the cases where this occurs) that they are concerned with the strictness of...
{Part 1 – 22/10/2016} Escape would require some flexibility of intuition and concept (nb. pedigree of terms is arbitrary). I would imagine strengthening a substrate of awareness that acknowledges its own ignorance. I would call this substance metaphorical, and the premises of its construction metaphorical idealism (replacing “conditions of experiencing that define experience” with “defining...
{Part 1 – 7/3/2017} Plan: Some ways of seeing Haazinu Segue into phenomenological vectorized matrix metaphor for Torah Segue into Moshe Midrash re negotiation after golden caf Segue into “ve’atah” analytic inverse of Moshe Segue into “tezaveh” Via linking Teruma “vayikchu” side-track otiyot to add depth to “tetzaveh” by...
{Part 1 – 26/03/2017} “The Degel Machaneh Ephraim, one of the earliest books that disseminated the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, connects this to the second Mishna in the 6th chapter of Tractate Avot: “Each and every day, a divine voice calls out from Mt.
