Quotes About Coherence

La sensación de que el yo es permanente se deriva de la existencia de patrones coherentes que son recurrentes y de gran duración temporal. La recurrencia, predictibilidad y coherencia temporal de estos patrones se interpreta como evidencia de que existe un yo fijo y permanente, cuando, en realidad, solamente se trata de un proceso con ciertas características invariantes pero nunca con una existencia concreta e inamovible.

En el laboratorio hemos demostrado (Grinberg-Zylberbaum y J. Ramos, 1987) (ver siguiente capítulo) que cuando dos sujetos se comunican, el que posee mayor correlación interhemisférica (es decir, el más sintérgico y unificado) atrae hacia su nivel de coherencia al que posee menos correlación interhemisférica. Esta evidencia experimental sustenta y apoya las consideraciones antes expuestas.

El fenómeno de sincronicidad descrito por Jung se fundamenta en lo anterior. Estrictamente hablando, el atractor extraño no "elige" a sus representantes y difusores, sino más bien estos se colocan en el estado que favorece la "contactación", entendiendo a esta última como la activación de una interacción coherente que solamente se da cuando la morfología del campo individual coincide con la del atractor.

La más elevada función de liderazgo consiste en transformar la repulsión entrópica de la lattice en atracción antientrópica del atractor extraño del futuro ideal del hipercampo. Un cerebro en un estado de elevada correlación interhemisférica incrementa la coherencia del hipercampo y de la lattice y es capaz de afectar los campos neuronales individuales en la misma dirección. Su

Integration is a basic law of life; when we resist it, disintegration is the natural result, both inside and outside of us. Thus we come to the concept of harmony through integration.

In order to live a rich life, everything about who you are must be one, in alignment, and in pure harmony.

It has occurred because, within poststructuralism, the very notion of identity as a coherent and abiding sense of self is perceived as a cultural fantasy rather than a demonstrable fact.

All life is rhythmic. From the rise and fall of the sun to the rise and fall of our breath, from the beating of our heart to the infinite vibrations of atomic particles within our cells, we are a mass of vibrations that miraculously resonate together as a single system. In fact, our ability to function as a unified whole depends upon the coherent resonance of the many subtle vibrations within us. The task of the fifth chakra is to enhance this resonance.

Convicções profundas só as têm as criaturas superficiais. Os que não reparam para as coisas quase que as veem apenas para não esbarrar com elas, esses são sempre da mesma opinião, são os íntegros e os coerentes. A política e a religião gastam dessa lenha, e é por isso que ardem tão mal entre a Verdade e a Vida.

Se mi capita di essere coerente, è solo per incoerenza della mia incoerenza.

Gustavo Solivellas dice: Un pensamiento no paradójico me resulta casi insoportable, un pensamiento cerrado en sí mismo, coherente, que no admite la paradoja (Fernando Savater)

But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.

Tension is the great integrity.

Sanity is a matter of consensus.

Since the biblical God can truly be identified by narrative, his hypostatic being, his self-identity, is constituted in dramatic coherence. The classic definition of this sort of coherence is provided by Aristotle, who noticed that a good story is one in which events occur "unexpectedly but on account of each other" [Poetics 1452a3], so that before each decisive event we cannot predict it, but afterwards see it was just what had to happen.

Death indeed will terminate my story, but it will not conclude it; for it will make all my hopes into might-have-beens and my fears into never-minds, and so make absurd the anticipatory coherences by which I have lived. if I am to have a conclusion, it will have to be a resurection.

In short, from natural selection's point of view, it's good for you to tell a coherent story about yourself, to depict yourself as a rational, self-aware actor. So whenever your actual motivations aren't accessible to the part of your brain that communicates with the world, it would make sense for that part of your brain to generate stories about your motivation.

Somehow no matter how odd the combinations are, they always end up looking perfect together.

If people take seriously doctrines such as the divinity of Christ, it is not primarily because they can treat them as if they were tidy conclusions to an argument, deductions from readily available evidence, but because – however obscurely they are grasped, however challenging the detail – they see that the language of doctrine holds together a set of intractably complex questions in a way that offers a coherent context for human living.

Of what good is an armchair of velvet when the rest of the environment does not match? It is like a man going around naked and wearing a three-cornered hat.

reality was not something given, not an absolute, but something that men made up, and that values, too, changed according to who was doing the valuing. A world that did not cohere, in which truth did not exist and was replaced by warring versions trying to dominate or even eradicate their rivals, horrified

Believing a given proposition is a matter of believing that it faithfully represents some state of the world, and this fact yields some immediate insights into the standards by which our beliefs should function. In particular, it reveals why we cannot help but value evidence and demand that propositions about the world logically cohere.

WHICH way should the balance swing? Assuming that we want to maintain a coherent ethical position on these matters, this appears to be a circumstance of forced choice: if we are willing to drop bombs, or even risk that pistol rounds might go astray, we should be willing to torture a certain class of criminal suspects and military prisoners; if we are unwilling to torture, we should be unwilling to wage modern war.

Without common ideas, there is no common action, and without common action men still exist, but a social body does not. Thus in order that there be society, and all the more, that this society prosper, it is necessary that all the minds of the citizens always be brought together and held together by some principle ideas
