Hash for March 02, 2009

- ***You will write down your 50 memorized item, your epithets, a paper idea for the final paper, and your group names on Wednesday the 4th. ***

- We will be hearing of Ramon Lull from Sutter, then joining into our groups for conversation time.

- Ramon Lull created his memory system as a conversion/persuasion system from non-gentile religions to the gentiles.

- Read some from 176 in Yates. Corporeal Similitudes stick out in our imagination (like Quasimoto).

- Lull believes the nine aspects of God can be assigned to anything. Lull's memory is not stagnant.

- Alethiometer - "Truth meter" - Leth means forget, aleth means unforget.

- BCDEFGHIK - The nine attributes of God.

- Bonitas is what Yates uses on 179 for goodness.

- 184 starts on why corporeal similitudes will not work.

- Yates only uses repetition (From artificial memory) to actually memorize something.

- Yates's images in the book do not flow along with Lull's ideas.

- Lull uses frequent meditation. Lull and Bruno were magical, and that's why these people have been viewed as heretical and were killed because of their power and theri ability to bestow it upon others.

Most important thing to note on Lull - Got rid of Corporeal Similitude and was huge on movement in memory.
