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.

Sign of 6/2/2012

Part 1
Verse:
〖籤詩〗三箭開雲路,營求指日成;許多閒口語,翻作笑歌聲。
Explanation:
〖解籤一〗此籤屬機運亨通之籤,尤對謀事、創業者而言。
〖解籤二〗此籤逢凶化吉,遇難呈祥,禍之適以福之,故營求之事立成功,占者切勿因悠悠之口,自反退縮貽誤畢生。
Verse:
〖诗曰〗思量一夜,不如打干一番,若还错烦恼,伤及肺肝。
Explanation:
〖签释〗你目前处处的困境,决不是靠自己的力量所能冲破的。所以,即使是彻夜不眠,冥思苦想也于事无补。必会伤害到自己的肺和肝,积郁碾疾,甚至严重到要命的地步。"智者干虑,必有一失"你总有考虑不周的地,当心地支向人计教时,必定会有收获。那人的指点,将引你走出迷津。打干,北人读作垢干儿,是旧时的敬礼方式:右手下垂,左腿向前屈膝,右腿略弯曲。打干表达一利恭敬之意,这里引伸为请求,求教的意思。向什么人教呢?相对你的籍贯而言,这位先生是西方人氏。他性情刚烈仗义疏财;面方净,眉高眼深,鼻直耳红,声音洪亮,刚毅果决。认真想一想,你的亲朋帮旧中,有没有变样一个人?去找他求教吧。
〖卦语〗长安花,不可及;春风中,马蹄疾,急早加鞭,骤然生色。
〖释义〗春天的长安城,鲜花盛开,绚丽多彩,多么令人神往。可是,这些花可以想可以望而无法攀折在手。你朝着目的地快马加鞭,日夜兼程往前赶,却在无意之间有了一个意外的收获,使你惊喜不已。 得到的,不是所追求的,虽然不尽人意,却可以宽慰你。 古城长安(今西安市),是我国六大古都之一,签中所指的长安,不要单纯理解成今天的西安或首都北京,虚而不实,当然不会有直接的收获。 你不应在追求的过程中,慢慢吞吞,虚耗了岁月,要以最快的速度去接近目标,或许会有一个意外的收获。

Part 2
Verse:
〖籤詩〗無端風雨催春去,落盡枝頭桃李花;桃畔有人歌且笑。知君心事亂如麻。
〖解籤一〗好景不長,好花不再,避免小人挑撥壞事,幸災樂禍。
〖解籤二〗此籤主流離失所徬徨無依,如喪家之犬、若涸澈之魽,心亂如麻,情也勢也,占者務實行忍之一字,餘無他法。
Verse:
〖诗曰〗三冬足,文艺精,到头处,水亦成,急急回首,勿误前程。
Explanation:
〖签释〗你性格温良,为为人厚道,有一定的才能,却无权力。你于文艺技术,具一定的潜力,只要稍加努力,便会有成功的希望。冬天,是所有生物积蓄力量,以图再进的季节。以历了三冬的充实,积德养贤,不浮不躁,当然会在来春"不鸣则已,一鸣尺人"的。什么时候水到渠成呢?从立冬到冬至之间要经历小雪和大雪的节气,时间是45天左右。也就是说,将在冬至的前三天和后七天里,当可实现我的计划。签诗中的后两句,是告诫你要见好就收,不然会使自己陷入险境,误了自己的前程。上坎下艮,是为"蒙"卦。卦辞曰:"亨,匪我求童蒙,童蒙求我,初筮告,再三渎,渎则不千,剩贞。"蒙卦,具亨通的,且有开始教化的象征。
