Hash for February 23, 2009
-Carly tells us about her Coffe Trader's memory theatre.
-Should the coffee shop people know these powerful secrets?
-Corrected test and come out as always (slightly dissapointed that not as well as predicted ;).
This is the 2nd Phase!
- Going through Carly's theatre - "Kickstand for Achilles, Agamemnon at bike rack, Apollo at the moon in the sky"
- How many novels were written from people's memory theatre? Who knows?
***Read Chapter 4 in Ong***
-True and genuine writing only comes about when the alphabet was invented. Perfected by Greeks. No vowels in Hebrew.
**** My license plate I always remember is NTMD8R***

Ram Testicles
Yes... Today was the day we remembered John Nay and his connection with the Testicles of a Ram. I've read the other two blogs that have been posted on the test so far, and it looks like their thoughts show that they have done fairly well.
I think I did too.
But if there's one thing I know about these wily Sexson Testicles, I mean tests, it is that they can feel good (hmmm... I mean you can feel secure in your grade ;) , and then they can come crushing down on you the day they are corrected in class. You're all like, "Yeah, sweet, I didn't know two or three....but I feel a low A coming on...." and then
BAM!
Fifteen minutes, twenty bickerings with the teacher over small technicalities in the verbiage used, fifteen sighs of disbelief, and one tear later..... you have yourself a beautiful, shining, solid C sitting before you.
Now, this doesn't happen to everyone....but please, don't feel crushed when you're the unlucky one that the testicle decides to go rotten upon. Just keep up your good attendance, get your blog rolling with stimulating thoughts and provocative images, and you'll be on your way to passing with flying colors in no time.
Just remember, a bad testicle isn't the end of the world.

Sick Day
I am terribly sad that I was unable to attend class today.... I'm feeling quite miserable and want to get better as soon as possible. I will look to the blogs of my peers to hopefully get some good info for what we will be testing on.... here is to a great test on Friday. Best of luck to all! -Chris

Hash for February 13, 2009
- Discussing blogs about all sorts of wonderfulness.
- Kevin will talk on Yates's Chapter 2+3.
-Memory, imagination, and soul - Both connected by Aristotle and Plato. Can't have one without the other. Connected like the trinity.
-pg. 33: Memory is mental images of things past and imagination.
-"Imagination acts as your one hour photo for your memory."
-pg. 37: Faedras. "Memory....is the ground work of the whole." The ground work of the trinity. And if soul is you very essence, and memory is its groundwork, memory is given a HUGE role.
-"Knowledge is a statue that you use your imagination to create a cast around, then you use your memory to create a mold around the cast and keep its image there." I imagined a totem pole with a huge cast around it, then a lot of clay to get a mold around that. ;)
-Chapter 3: Roman memory knowledge put to the back shelves until two monks made it important again. Had same connection ideas with trinity and all, but they took it farther by asking why the memory to soul is important. Pg. 65.
Wonderful outline of the subject of the art of memory on Wikipedia....good for studying for test...... can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_of_memory
Yates is far more interested in Plato (influenced Renaissance) than she is in Aristotle (influenced Middle Ages).
Neoplatanism (important):a philosophical system, originated in the 3rd century a.d. by Plotinus, founded chiefly on Platonic doctrine and Oriental mysticism, with later influences from Christianity. It holds that all existence consists of emanations from the One with whom the soul may be reunited.
Freud says you can remember all the way back to your birth. Psychoanalysis is a memory analysis in its purest form. Jeung says you can remember everything before you were born too, all the way back through the human race.
Anamnesis - Recollection of everything that has been forgotten....EVERYTHING!
Gnosticism - Says there's a spark of divinity in us all (the epiphany)
Plato knows we fell from perfection into this nasty world of muck and sin.
Plato says your wings want to come back and that's why your shoulders itch when you remember something.
Lethe - river of forgetfullness
Mnemosiny - river of remembrance
Hamlet, Jesus, and...... uh oh, talking crazilyof communion and cannablism and the power of eating Jesus and becoming one with him.
Hamlet, Jesus, and Krishna - Remembrance
Chapter 2 in Yates is ended by Augustine. He realized memory is not just an item in persuading and working stupidly... it is a key component of reality.
- Augustine converted to Christianity... because he READ A BOOK!
Memory is essential.... look at his passages in Yates on pg. 47.
****HOMEWORK - REGROW YOUR WINGS IN MEMORY - AND BRING A QUESTION TO NEXT CLASS FOR THE TEST. Not TOO trivial and multiple choice.****
