October 2. 01. 7 Book Club Ecosophia. This weeks post is the fourth of a monthly series of open discussion posts focusing on books Ive written. Our theme for the present is Mystery Teachings from the Living Earth, and this week were discussing The Third Law The Law of Balance pp. Id like to ask readers to keep their questions and comments focused on that chapter and the ideas it contains well have another Ask Me Anything post later this month, and of course a substantive monthly post or two in due time. In place of an outline, heres the Third Law, as it appears in the book Everything that exists can continue to exist only by being in balance with itself, with other things, and with the whole system of which it is a part. That balance is not found by going to one or the other extreme, or by remaining fixed at a static point it is created by self correcting movements to either side of a midpoint. The rest of this section of the book expands on the concept this definition sketches out. Questions CommentsDiscussions Have at itsubject, of course, to the usual rules. In other news, Im delighted to announce that another translation of mine is available for preorder and will be shipping in four months. Many of my readers know that Ive long been interested in the Art of Memory, a system of mind training developed in the ancient world and refined in the Renaissance, which basically allows you to upgrade your own memory, and store and recall information much more effectively than the untrained mind can do. Giordano Bruno, the greatest master of the art of memory, published a guidebook to his version of the art in 1. De Umbris Idearumin English, that works out to On the Shadows of the Ideas. Ive translated it from Latin, and added a foreword, extensive notes, and a guide to using Brunos methods, and it will be released in January in two editions. Details Heres the link to the over the top amazing edition with all the trimmings, and heres the link to the merely gorgeous edition. Fans of my quirky epic fantasy with tentacles, The Weird of Hali, will also be pleased to know that the third volume, The Weird of Hali Chorazin, is slithering its squamous, rugose way into print as well, and is scheduled for a late winter release. Ill post the details when I have them. The Black Swan The Impact of the Highly Improbable is a book by the essayist, scholar, philosopher, and statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

Is Levantine Arabic Not by any metric, no more than Italian is French. Note I spent part of my summer vacation of 2. Syriac at Beth Mardutho. Levantine. is a standalone Semitic language that is close to Aramaic. Arabic, has some Arabic influences perhaps no more than Farsi. Turkish, and has inherited from it broken plurals but not its rich. Grammar remains non. Arabic. Many words that are in Arabic. Aramaic happen to be in North Phoenician Ugaritic. Unlike genetics that has rigorous mathematical formulations and. Semitic. languages, unrigorous. Many people who are fluent and Levantine and. Arabic fail to realize that the distance between the two is greater. French and. Romanian. Slavic languages such as Ukranian and Polish are much. Levantine and Arabic. Same with. Scandinavian and Germanic languages. But there is a bias in believing. Levantine and Arabic, that it is of. Arabic origin, never Aramaic or Canaanite largely because of the. Levantine languages. So Mar. 7aba is. deemed to be Arabic when it is in fact just Aramaic. Ana bi Amioun is Levantine for. I am in Amioun. In Aramaic Syriac most versions it would be Ana. Amioun. In Arabic Innani fi Amioun Arabs say fi in their. Jordanians who use North Arabian. Arabic comes from Aramaic. Same with words that have hamze, i. Mayy in Levantine is water as in Aramaic,  Ma. Arabic, etc.   If Egyptians say mayya, it is likely because they got it from the Aramaic which was Persian state language. But the y in Arabic can become a hamzeolaf Yaduhu in Arabic is ido Yad Eed in both Syriac and Levantine. By Aramaic tongues I mean Western Aramaic Maaloula, Yerushalmi, and Eastern Aramaic Syriac Eastern and Western, Babili Babili and Yerushalmi are both Talmudic, but most of what we read is Babili, modern neo. Aramaic Mandean, and the spoken Syro Mesopotamian Turoyo Central Western Syriac, and Mesopotamian SwadayaEastern. Free Budget Template Microsoft Excel. Syriac. In Northern Lebanon we are inspired of Western Aramaic but. Syriac words the language like Hebrew retained. Canaanite shift, Allah becomes Alloh, Taleb is pronounced. Tolib.   But unlike Eastern Aramaic where Sarah is Saro while. Sora.   Incidentally, Taleb is present in UgariticPhoenician. Levantine uses the French sound  the diacritical rboso where Arabic has an i kasra or long i. Ghassn, etc. When I trained in the Lebanese army the march one two three was in. Syriac 7ad, Trnen, Tlete, Arb. Wa. 7ad, Etnen,. Note the difference mim in Arabic beytohom become noun in Aramaic. North Levantine beyton, beytkon. Even Ibrahim becomes. Brohin.   Same with grammar. The stucture is largely Aramaic. For instance, we. Arabic the. verb is singular. It is foolish to think that a population will speak a language, say Aramaic, then suddenly, tabula rasa, switch to another one without bastardization. Traditional linguistics categorizes languages as independent variables. Y a1 X1a2 X2. So if. Levantine resembles Arabic, and Arabic resembles Aramaic, and Aramaic. CanaaniteHebrew, the tendendy is to believe that Levanine. Accordingly, simplified linguistics fail with Semitic languages because of. Semitic tongues than. Indo. European ones. In English we know that what comes from Latin has no. Northern European sources, except for remote roots. An argument is that the dhad in Canaanite became a 3ayn Eretz in. Hebrew became Ar. Aramaic. So there was a shift that stayed in. Aramaic and Levantine use the Arabic dhad that does not have the shift. Aramaic. But the argument is not strong Arabs did not pronounce the dhad as modified tzadeh. Verbs forms Arabic has 1. Levantine and Aramaic have the same 4 6 forms depending on regions. So it looks after deeper investigation that in fact except for. Arabic is what is. Aramaic and Arabic, or in both Arabic and Canaanite. Note that Syriac has broken plurals. I am preparing a linguistic note. Which doesnt fit people. Arabism is a political agenda. People in Syria and. Lebanon are brainwashed to think that they are speaking a dialect of. Arabic, when it is not even remotely true. More examples Zammar 3a lkou. LevantineZammar 3a kou. AramaicInshud 3al mun. Arabic. For Ale Bu. LevantineBu. 5sh tizo AramaicThaqb iliatihi Arabic or mu.
