Induction

The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Chris in dream 25/6/2016

〖卦语〗：山穷路转迷，水急舟难渡；万事莫强为，出处遭姑妒。
〖释义〗：此签山水相逢，困难重重，多有阴滞，乃至迷失道路，欲渡还难，你能走出这千回百转的山林吗？你能渡过这湍急的滩头，而不会翻船落水吗？以你的意志毅力和勇气是可是勉强到达，但不希望你兄这样去做，因为接近尾声的时候，人但一无所获，还必会受到奸人的阴陷使自己败得更惨，局既定不如中途罢手撤回基地另设全法，这样损失或许会小些。知不可为而为之，是一种不愿输的顽固心态实不足取迷途知返不为迷失，道迷而心不迷，归为上策，易经中「归妹」一卦象征着凶兆，对任何事都不利。所以请你回归原有的基础，等待那大吉大利的时辰，「归妹」不要朝前走了。你能丢下那使你迷失的不切实际的欲望吗？
