1. Scire = to know, understand.
2. sciens (present participle of scire) – intelligent, skilled.
3. scientis (possessive form of sciens) - Thus scientis is scientist which means someone possessing knowledge.
4. scientia (form of sciens) - knowledge, a knowing; expertness. This must be properly understood, a scientist can be anyone in any field of knowledge. In fact, everyone is a scientist because everyone possesses knowledge. Equally important to understand is that the present meanings of many words in the English version of language did not come into existence until the past 200 to 600 years. Science has existed and been practiced by humans for hundreds of thousands of years under different words with different meanings. Current understanding of what science is, is extremely limited, which is why, we also have been extremely limited in our understandings of how nature functions and have taken the suboptimal route during the past Age. Optimal understanding of science has slipped beneath the surface of murky watered down awareness. All of this has served the status quo well in the acquisition of money and power and mind control over what they purport to know. Even so, in the midst of mutated meanings, buried in the 14th century definition of science is the meaning of “collective human knowledge.” This is more accurate, however, it leaves out knowledge possessed by all other life forms.
As stated by Stephen Jay Gould in 1981, “science, since people must do it, is a socially embedded activity. It progresses by hunch, vision, and intuition. Much of its change through time does not record a closer approach to absolute truth, but the alteration of cultural contexts that influence it so strongly. Facts are not pure and unsullied bits of information; culture also influences what we see and how we see it. Theories, moreover, are not inexorable inductions from facts [automatic natural outcome and impossible to disprove]. The most creative theories are often imaginative visions imposed upon facts; the source of imagination is also strongly cultural."Three things regarding the above quote:
1. The second sentence that claims science does not move us closer to truth over time, is clearly based on the suboptimal cycle of science during a very short timeframe and is also based on a very limited understanding of truth.
2. As the quote correctly states, “facts” are influenced by culture. Therefore we must stop listening to people use science as if it is something pure and objective and without bias and without fault and without evil manipulation and is able to rise above the character of the culture. In other words, in a society based on genderism and racism, science, scientists and all other experts will also support those intentions.
We must stop allowing people to use the word science and scientist as trump cards over our own critical analysis of information and benefit of the doubt. As often said, this also applies to experts of any type, including government, doctors, researchers, scholars, professors, professionals or anyone by any name they claim, just because they've been in the field for a long time or have a piece of paper they had to pay for it. So what? If your context and/or character are out of whack then so also will be your facts – that you neatly call science to keep us in compliance. Though today's scientific facts are well-suited for their intent, we must not get our intents mixed up with theirs.
3. Whereas a scientist has come to mean someone who “possesses” knowledge, “possession” in today's terms has a personal ownership rights kind of feel to it as in it's mine, mine all mine and I'm going to make you pay for. On the other hand, a scientist is more like someone who expresses understanding and shares it for the common good with those who understand the first true purpose of education.
Conscious Conscience
“Conscious” comes from “conscius” which comes from “conscire” which comes from “scire” as follows:1. “conscious” currently means "knowing, “privy to, aware"
2. conscius - "knowing, aware"
3. conscire (see conscience) - con + scire (to know)(see science). Conscience is a common knowing. Conscience is understanding the relationship of knowledge to self and to all else. That's what it takes to have a conscience. I repeat: Consciousness exists in degrees based on our level of awareness of science. Conscience exists in degrees based on our how well we understand science in relation to self and all else. We can now see the relationship of science, conscience and conscious. They are all forms of scire (to know). Thus those who are not conscious, do not know and those who lack conscience, do not know and the other way around. This all makes sense when we understand the much fuller understanding of what science is.
As we grow in this understanding, we won't be so easily okie doked by people throwing around their expertise in all fields of human study, for example “don't do anything regarding your health unless you consult a doctor first...”
We won't allow our genetic potential to be limited to one way of knowing.
Closing
Scientific advances do not involve tradeoffs, side effects or create new problems or diminish knowledge among the masses via education or diminish knowledge of those who are certified to practice knowledge in a particular area. If they do, then this version of science cannot improve the quality of life, it can only shift miseries. Science, conscience and consciousness came out of the waters. The rising of the Sparkholder and the Spark, also out of the waters, both foretell the reawakening of knowledge submerged within cells. It was a necessary challenge for things to get messed up to this extent. And oh what a tangled mess we've made.Now comes Aquaria, The Knower (Lower), Law Giver & Great Mother Of The Waters, with a comb and a mirror to straighten out her hair.
Now comes Kepheus, the Knower (Glower & Flame Thrower), Law Enforcer & Cosmic Ethiopian King. The root of humans as Africans understood science to a much more optimal degree than it is understood today by the withering branch. Those knowing Africans could not stop the spiritual energy wave changes brought forth by the Ages of Pisces & Wepwawet(Ursa Minor).
Thankfully, Africa's continuous revealings (most of it called stealings) of science, conscience and consciousness has helped us “hold on” and maintain during this period of significant nutrient drain. Here we go again. Weak Science is giving way to Strong Science and causing a shift in alliance..
