1that ‘‘unique responses’’ are found in people with larger amygdalas. The researchers note, "Since previous reports have indicated that unique responses were observed at higher frequency in the artistic population than in the non-artistic normal population, this positive correlation suggests that amygdalar enlargement in the normal population might be related to creative mental activity." ¶ == The ten inkblots == ¶ Below are the ten inkblots of the Rorschach test printed in Rorschach's Rorschach Test – Psychodiagnostic Plates, together with the most frequent responses for either the whole image or the most prominent details according to various authors. ¶ == Prevalence == ¶ == United States == ¶ The Rorschach test is used almost exclusively by psychologists. In a survey done in the year 2000, 20% of correctional psychologists used the Rorschach while 80% used the MMPI. Forensic psychologists use the Rorsch

2for the implicational fragment, and it was extended to intuitionistic first order arithmetic by Howard7 . It is the only known way of interpreting intuitionistic logic so that the axiom of choice becomes valid. To distinguish between proofs of judgements (usually in tree-like form) and proofs of propositions (here identified with elements, thus to the left of ∈) we reserve the word construction for the latter and use it when confusion might occur. ¶ Explanations of the forms of judgement For each one of the four forms of judgement, we now explain what a judgement of that form means. We can explain what a judgement, say of the first form, means by answering one of the following three questions: What is a set? What is it that we must know in order to have the right to judge something to be a set? 4 A. Heyting

If not, add them, using page inserts if necessary. Make special entries of such words. As time proceeds, certain other words will evoke special interest and should be treated in the same manner. Try to follow Crowley’s analysis of Berashith in the essay Gematria as a model for the management of these words, and as the basis for meditation to lead to the highest. ¶ Here are a couple of examples. I opened the lexicon at random and selected two words. A variety of Qabalistic methods may be used to elaborate on them. Practice will produce skill and insight. ¶ The first word selected was one meaning “empty

9. Look where this gets you. I have chosen an author of some quality, Felix Feneon, whom I do not have the time to present to you here, and his series "The News in Three Lines" (Nouvelles en trois liqnes) published in Le Matin. It is not without reason that they have been collected; there is certainly a particular talent to be seen here. Let us try to see what it is. ¶ Here are some examples of "The News in Three Lines" which at first we can take at random, afterwards we will try to take the most significant of them. ¶ "Because they threw a few stones at the police, three pious ladies ..... were obliged to pay a fine by the judges at Toulens-Comblebourg." ¶ http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>27.11.57(4) 5

25The “silence” earned through this tending is no wage for labor performed on the land; it is the recognition of attention distributed among the beings — human and non-human — that the field includes. The cluster’s ecological practice is co-witnessing applied to the more-than-human: standingwith the watershed without using it, witness- ing the forest without managing it, participating in the field without extracting from it. ¶ Viability and Critique Every philosophical construction that claims practical relevance must face the objections that practical relevance provokes. Co-witnessing is no exception. This section addresses four objections in order of their seriousness.
