While, on the one hand, the end of scientific investigation is the discovery of laws, on the other, science will have reached its highest goal when it shall have reduced ultimate laws to one or two, the necessity of which lies outside the sphere of our cognition. These ultimate laws-in the domain of physical science at least-will be the dynamical laws of the relations of matter to number, space, and time. The ultimate data will be number, matter, space, and time themselves. When these relations shall be known, all physical phenomena will be a branch of pure mathematics.
But though cognition is not an element of mental action, nor even in any real sense of the word an aspect of it, the distinction of cognition and conation has if properly defined a definite value.
Intuitive cognition of a thing is cognition that enables us to know whether the thing exists or does not exist, in such a way that, if the thing exists, then the intellect immediately judges that it exists and evidently knows that it exists, unless the judgment happens to be impeded through the imperfection of this cognition.
Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information
Rather, Spirit, and enlightement, has to be something that you are fully aware of right now. Something you are already looking at right now. . . We are all already looking directly at Spirit, we just don't recognize it. We have all the necessary cognition, but not the recognition.
Cognition is. . . not an individual process of any theoretical "particular conciousness. " Rather it is the result of a social activity, since the existing stock of knowledge exceeds the range available to any one individual.
In any case, the fewer boundaries that exist hindering free movement between all forms of articulate human cognition, the better.
Since consciousness is the basis of all reality, any shift in consciousness changes every aspect of our reality. Reality is created by consciousness differentiating into cognition, moods, emotions, perceptions, behavior, speech, social interactions, environment, interaction with the forces of nature, and biology. As consciousness evolves, these different aspects of consciousness also change.
Cognition modifies the knower so as to adapt him harmoniously to his acquired knowledge.
if we can control the environment in which rapid cognition takes place, then we can control rapid cognition
The emergence of a unified cognitive moment relies on the coordination of scattered mosaics of functionally specialized brain regions. Here we review the mechanisms of large-scale integration that counterbalance the distributed anatomical and functional organization of brain activity to enable the emergence of coherent behaviour and cognition. Although the mechanisms involved in large-scale integration are still largely unknown, we argue that the most plausible candidate is the formation of dynamic links mediated by synchrony over multiple frequency bands.
Forgetting your mistakes is a terrible error if you are trying to improve your cognition.
Cognition reigns but does not rule.
If, in a democracy, the cognition of the majority is not much better than the cognition of the sheep, democracy will surely fail.
Emotions are not tools of cognition. They tell you nothing about the nature of reality.
Mindfulness has never met a cognition it didn't like.
Once it is recognized that productive thinking in any area of cognition is perceptual thinking, the central function of art in general education will become evident.
In reality, infinity is merely the distance to the heart of a stranger. Eternity is the moment of cognition.
A mystic is a man who treats his feelings as tools of cognition.
The naturalist is a civilized hunter. He goes alone into the field or woodland and closes his mind to everything but that time and place, so that life around him presses in on all the senses and small details grow in significance. He begins the scanning search for which cognition was engineered. His mind becomes unfocused, it focuses on everything, no longer directed toward any ordinary task or social pleasantry
