THERE IS NO GOD IN THE COSMOS. GOD IS IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

DESCARTES : 'THERE IS NO GOD IN THE COSMOS. GOD IS IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS'

René Descartes has insisted that the intellect alone could provide us with the certainty he sought. Faith told us nothing that could not be demonstrated rationally.

Descartes argued that god could be known more easily and certainly than any of the other things in existence. Descartes has attempted to establish an equally analytical demonstration of god's existence, but he found no god in cosmos. There was no design in nature. Universe was chaotic and there was not a single sign of design, or intelligent planning.

Descartes found evidence of god in human consciousness; even doubt proved the existence of the doubter! We cannot be certain of anything in the external world, but we can be certain of our own inner experience. We could not arrive at the idea of imperfection if we did not have a prior conception of perfection.

A perfection that did not exist would be a contradiction in terms. Our experience of doubt, therefore, tells us that a supreme and perfect being must exist. Descartes' god is the god of the philosophy, who did not interfere with the worldly affairs. This god has made known of himself not through miracles, but in the eternal laws he has decreed.

Conveyors Control System For Bulk Materials (RSLogix 5.0)

Back to power plant (CFSPP), Control System of Conveyor for Bulk Materials (coal), takes a half of month to refresh about Ladder and Arena.

The conveyor velocity, cell size, and segment lengths in the Segment module use a common length (meter).

For a nonaccumulating conveyor, when the conveyor stops (to load or unload an entity), all entities on the conveyor stop as well. The original spacing between entities on the conveyor is constant.

When using an accumulating conveyor, the conveyor does not physically stop when an entity is loading or unloading. A local blockage occurs and entities continue to convey until they reach the blockage. At this time, the Accumulation Size is evaluated.

Entities may access one or more cells of a conveyor.

The sum of the distances among the stations on the conveyor (specified by Segment module) must be divisible by the cell size. If not, an error will occur when the model is checked.

During accumulation, the entity will accumulate based on the Accumulation Size specified. This size may be different from the number of cells that the entity originally accessed. If so, the entity will return to its original size when the blockage is cleared and the accumulation dissipates. This size does not have to be divisible into an even number of cells.

The velocity of the conveyor may be changed by using the variable VC(Conveyor).

There are many conveyor status variables, both for accumulating and non-accumulating conveyors. Several common variables are LEC(Conveyor) and NEC(Conveyor) to evaluate the length and number of entities conveying on the conveyor, respectively. Additional accumulating conveyor variables are CLA(Conveyor) to evaluate the length of accumulated entities and NEA(Conveyor) to evaluate the number of accumulated entities.

LIGHT RAIL VEHICLE DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS

Light rail vehicles are built in a variety of designs and dimensions. In almost all cases, they are capable of being operated in coupled trains. Modern LRVs are generally much larger and heavier than their streetcar predecessors and can have axle loads just as large as, or even larger than, so-called "heavy rail" transit vehicles.

Light rail vehicles vary in the following design characteristics:

  • Unidirectional versus bi-directional

  • Non-articulated versus articulated and, for the latter, the location(s) and configuration of the articulation joints

  • 100% high-floor versus partial low-floor (typically 70% or less) versus 100% low-floor

  • Overall size (width, length, and height)

  • Truck and axle positions

  • Weight and weight distribution

  • Suspension characteristics

  • Performance (acceleration, speed, and braking)

  • Wheel diameter and wheel contour

  • Wheel gauge

These characteristics must be considered in the design of both the vehicle and the track structure.

Ways to address the most important security, security and obsolescence challenges

Managing risk ultimately protects your brand and reputation. Your approach to risk management should focus on where the problem originated:

  1. The uniqueness of equipment: Modernizing production systems using the latest control and information technology can help minimize unplanned downtime, support compliance with the latest standards and regulations, and play a key role in managing other areas (quality, safety and security).

  2. Quality: Harness the power of information buried in your operations to improve quality management and help ensure compliance with existing and emerging government regulations.

  3. Safety: Safety must be addressed in three important areas - culture, compliance and capital. The advantage: companies with fewer security incidents have also been shown to improve operational performance.

  4. Security: As you embrace end-to-end connectivity at your facility and company, a comprehensive security approach helps protect people and intellectual property.

NEGATIVE SIDES OF BEING HUMAN

Humans are seen as the source of 'evil' and everything undesirable. Why? Because the earthlings almost always had their attention on the negative sides of being human, which needed correcting if we were to win an afterlife and to rise to the higher levels of existence (in some belief systems even exceed that level and achieve nothingness/nibbana/nirvana. That's why a righteous life has always been emphasized. Have you ever thought, and ask yourself why? If the need for this emphasis on a righteous life had a valid reason then the negative aspects of existence must have been dominant on earth in those days.

What does the codebooks say? The supreme being or beings have created the earth especially for man to inhabit. Then they have created the flora and fauna for the benefit of man. Being superior and supreme and being able to hear and see what was going on 'down here' they thought - or humans believed that these beeings must have thought - it would be suitable for them to reside up in the sky, in their own world. After all sun is there with its tremendous power. Moon is there lighting up the night. Myriads of twinkling 'beings' are up there. On top of all that, sky has no connection with land which is 'polluted' with humans, their wrongdoings, weaknesses, and sins. Sky is clean. Fitting the superior ones.

They should stay up there, and not contaminate themselves by mixing with the 'mud' down on earth and make sure that their dirty-sinful 'creation' stayed on course. What course? If they were behind the creation, why did not they make sure those created are all 'good' and righteous? They supposedly have the power, the resolve, the vision etc. to do that and they would have saved themselves from keeping a constant watch over us, the sinners, down here.

If we go back to those aborigines again, have you noticed their sincerity and openness? They call that extremely distant past as 'dream time'. Their sincerity is genuine. They have no qualms about that expression. Why do humans living in present era feel uneasy about how to describe that very distant past? How to present it? What to call it? It is very simple, they should call it a dream time? Full stop!

The faithfuls uphold their faith because they are in a constant search for a meaning for their existence

I believe that the search should be based on pure knowledge. That is why I have ventured on this journey, the result of which is presented in this site. It is a journey that follows the progress of the human thought in connection with the concepts of divine order, superior beings, afterlife, paradise, hell, judgment day etc. This journey has nothing to do with the fundamental question: Is there something beyond this world? But it has everything to do with what the human beings thought of themselves and the 'existence' in general.

In this blog I think about the most complex and unbelievable invention of the human mind. You may call it faith or belief or conviction or persuasion. (The choice is yours). Faith necessitates a belief in a realm full of abstract beings, all of them are superior to mankind, and they all have a control on what man does or what happens to him. They are not of this world that we live in. They don't exist in the physical environment which has become a daily experience for the mankind. They are not on the Earth, because man has thought that the Earth was created and reserved for the lowly creatures, amongst whom mankind has a special place. Therefore no one should expect the creator and his entourage to reside amid the lowly creatures.

Thus mankind has established the sky and the celestial spheres as a befitting realm for them, because that realm was thought to be an elevated region. It is somewhere up there but no one knows where precisely. No one in those days was knowledgeable enough to realize that when the Universe is in question there is no up or down. Divine realm is visualized as a place where the supreme creator, the council of divine beings, fairies, demons, angels, satan etc. reside.

The Universe of Divine Entities

The other literal of divine entity's universe is non polarized, some people agree of that statement. No upper, no lower; no evil, no goodness; no light, no dark; no sky, no ground; etc, trancendental, nothing polarized there, only CONCEPTS and GREAT CONCEPTS. I can't imagine about that realm.

The question; If its right there's celestial spheresis that absolutely "non polarized realm", how many books of religion(s) should be revised?

Five types of light rail transit guideway

Five types of light rail transit guideway configurations to be considered, each with different signaling characteristics:

  1. In-Street Mixed Traffic Right-Of-Way (Streetcar)
  2. Semi-Exclusive Right-Of-Way
  3. Exclusive Right-Of-Way
  4. Highway Grade Crossings
  5. Yard and Shop

The choice of which system is most appropriate for a specific section of track is based on operational and sometimes political considerations. A light rail system may utilize different signal technologies at different locations based on these concerns. A street-running operation at relatively low speeds requires different controls than a high-speed operation on an exclusive right-of-way.
