GLOSSARY NOTES
|1. |Dictionary definitions are edited entries { JBY | |
| |emendations } from WP Random-House "Webster's | |
| |Electronic Dictionary" (RH) or Oxford University Press | |
| |"Concise Electronic Dictionary" (OUP) | |

| |A Dictionary of Philosophical Terms and Names. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| |The definitions as given in the dictionaries are the | |
| |everyday language usages, and are generally synonyms or properties of the word | |
| |{x=x, an identity}—not the nature | |
| |{cause} thereof {x=y}. Spinoza attempts to find the cause. | |

| |"But my purpose is to explain, not the meaning of |D:1.26b |
| |words {by their properties}, but the nature of things | |
| |{by their causes, I:2.5c}." {Examples: °EMOTION; °SORROW—°JOY; | |
| |°FAITH; °HATE—°LOVE;. More examples.} | |

|2. |Fully CAPITALIZED words do not necessarily have their everyday meaning; they |° FAITH |
| |are precisely defined terms, much like letting x=y (where y is the cause |faith |
| |by hypothesis). If I fatally deviate from these precise definitions, the logical |D:1.26b |
| |structure collapses (D:2.12), Please call me to account at josephb@. |D:2.10 |
| | |Calculus:Fig.1 |
| | |D:1.37 |
| |This capitalization is a JBY convention; not Spinoza's. | |
| | |I:1.3b |
| |A degree sign (°) indicates that the term constantly varies in degree when it is a|I:1.4b |
| |mode, but not when it is an attribute. Calculus:Fig.3, Calculus:4.4. |D:1.30 |
| |The dictionary definitions do not stress such variations. |DefEmo |
| |Note 1, Calculus:Fig.1(a), Calculus:Fig.1(b), E1:XIII:54, E1:XV(40):58 | |

{ G-D }
But love towards a thing eternal and infinite feeds the mind
{mystically} wholly with joy, and is itself unmingled with any Grace
sadness, wherefore it is greatly to be desired and sought for
with all our strength. { E5:XXXII:263, G-D-intoxicated Man, Bk.III:261. }
RH— 1. the beliefs, ideas, or mode of thought of mystics; 2. the
doctrine of an immediate spiritual intuition of truths believed to
transcend ordinary understanding, or of a direct, intimate union E5:Bk.XIV:2:311
of the soul with God through contemplation or spiritual ecstasy;
3. obscure thought or speculation.
OUP—mystic n. 1. a person who seeks by contemplation and self-
surrender to obtain unity or identity with or absorption into the
Deity or the ultimate reality: 3. or who believes in the spiritual appre-
hension of truths that are beyond the understanding.
mystic adj: 4. mysterious and awe-inspiring; 5. spiritually allegorical
or symbolic: 6. occult, esoteric; 7. of hidden meaning.
[F mystérieux f. mystère f. OF (as mystery 1) 1730-40]
{Examples of RH(2) and OUP(1) above are:
1. Imagine that you and the room you are sitting in as one
corpusule. Feel the organic interdependence of the Parts.
2. Imagine as you drive down a main arterial highway that
you are part of the blood traffic—where each vehicle
has its assigned task for the perpetuation of your society.
When you stop at a red light, feel you are a corpusule of
the blood stopping at a heart valve. FEEL the organic Spiritual
interdependence of the Parts. ( the Worm, EL:L15(32):290 )
3. Imagine you are conducting a large orchestra when that
perfect chord is hit. Feel the rapture of love that flows Intellectual love of G-D
over you—the need for every player, every instrument,
the audience, the hall itself, the Universe itself. } Isaac Bashevis Singer
{Admittedly all the above needs explanation. I hope to do so as I
complete Insight2 and Dialog2. But at best, any definition of mys-
ticism can only can only be considered a working hypothesis. }
