Imagination perception

I thought about Jung s statement that the alchemists projected their unconscious contents into matter. I realized that this is only partially right. I saw that they consciously, purposively, projected chosen archetypal images into matter, including the matter of their own physical body. The alchemical artist, through an act of imaginal perception, structures archetypal symbols, such as the alchemical furnace, or retort, into matter. 

Wave mechanics has shown us what is going on, a i at the deepest possible level... it has taken the concepts of the experimental chemist the imaginative perception that came to those who had lived in their laboratories and allowed their minds to dwell creatively upon the facts that they had found—and it has shown ho they all fit together how, if you wish, they all have one single rationale and how this hidden relationship to each other can be brought out. —C. A. Coulson, London, 1951. 

The denomination of odors was schematically related to two separate domains, both related to the memory stimulus of an event concomitant with the perception of the odor. One domain was based on an actual reference point that contains the odor vectors the other was associated with an odor stimulus based on imagination, ie, what image is evoked by the stimulus. With such a system, the final descriptive terminology used would more often than not be expressed in esoteric language, causing confusion and even communication breakdown. The work of Jaubert (1) was the origin of a more standardized descriptive system in the field of aroma description. 

Nuclear fission accounted for 13 percent of the electricity generated in the United States in 1985. Plants under construction in 1985 will probably raise the proportion to 20 percent by 1993. However, overexpansion of electrical generating capacity in this country, actual and imagined hazards of nuclear power plants, and negative perceptions of nuclear power by the public have combined to halt commitments to build new plants. New constmction is not expected to resume before the 1990s. 

Imagine an atom as a bubble magnified to an immense size (about the size of a small town). If you had the magical and perceptive powers of Alice in Wonderland you might penetrate the outer cover of the empty bubble and wander through its atmosphere which, on closer inspection, would be seen to be not quite empty .

No, I want to see what it s like to spend a day as my mirror image. Imagine the romantic possibilities. Perhaps it alters one s perceptions. You are quite beautiful now. ... 

Wasson s theory is that at some preliterate stage in man s early history, the mushrooms with extraordinary powers were discovered and "served as an agent for the very fission of his soul, releasing his faculty for self-perception, as a stimulant for the imagination of the seer, the poet, the mystic.. .. May not the hallucinatory mushrooms have been the most... 

I visualized the result I wanted and subsequently brought the variables into play which could bring that result about. I had great visual (mental) perceptibility I could imagine what was wanted, needed, or not possible with almost no effort. I was amazed at my idealism, my visual perception, and the rapidity with which I could operate."... 

There is an indication in the New Introductory Lectures that Freud had an idea tending in the same direction "It is easy to imagine, too, that certain mystical practices may succeed in upsetting the normal relations between the different regions of the mind, so that, for instance, perception may be able to grasp happenings in the depths of the ego and the id that were otherwise inaccessible to it. ... 

Today, our perception of nicotine has been altered principally by the consequences of the vehicle for nicotine administration, the tobacco plant. In the United States alone, tobacco use causes almost one death every minute, or the equivalent of four major airline crashes daily, similarly to what occurred on September n, 2001. If we had to witness that tragedy every day, just imagine the public outcry for greater federal control of tobacco. Sadly, because of politics and the fact that tobacco sales (and their taxes) are such a boon to the U.S. economy, this is not likely to ever occur to such a degree as to ban these sales completely. Meanwhile, people will continue to die from tobacco use and will do so one at a time at home or in a hospital room, not in large groups on the evening news. 

However, TSI-LC/MS applications did not completely capture the imagination of chemists and biologists in the pharmaceutical industry. TSI- LC/MS was overshadowed by its unpredictable performance and questionable ruggedness when compared to HPLC with ultraviolet (UV) detection. This perception was the case, in part, because pharmaceutical researchers were ready for a universal LC/MS system, but with very few limits. Simple methods to handle small and large molecules, combined with a gentle technique for ionization, were needed. Researchers were not content with the unique capabilities of TSI-LC/MS. They wanted few boundaries for applicability with familiar levels of analytical performance (i.e., similar to LC/U V). This requirement was not necessarily derived from an analytical perspective, but rather an industry perspective, which ultimately forms the basis of acceptance. Whether this requirement...
