We are drawn to the light of the sun, the greatest form of direct light transmission we live with, like a plant; to bask, to be brought out of the dark, to be stimulated. However, this relationship with transmitted light may be beyond the pale of the current theory of forms of light and forms of learning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627905479980693557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368119322036969702.post-17158022093775366572009-06-28T13:28:53.523-07:002009-06-28T13:28:53.523-07:00In response to Coffee's post above:

It seems to fit in with my response to Paul's comment about the nature of stained glass. That direct light's more appropriate to the transmission of data while reflected light is more appropriate in adding subjective context.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711690785246723786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368119322036969702.post-19954695319845700282009-06-28T13:20:53.861-07:002009-06-28T13:20:53.861-07:00Paul,

His knowledge base is inspiring and a bit precocious. He doesn't feel he would get anything from a traditional university education because he is so well educated through reading and his direct learning sources, including the television and channels like the Discovery, History, etc. I believe that the direct light learning has served him well.<br /><br />Now, where you sparked my brain is in relationship to the emotions. I am wondering if there is a connection with what I percieve as a lack of emotional ties and connection to much of anything in his generation. It seems to be all about them that brings them happiness. <br /><br />Mac is well connected with us, but in watching his group of friends and through some of his conversations with us, I have the impression that emotional attachment is missing in their lives.<br /><br />Do you think this element may be a piece of your theory?Colin & Donna-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303114285764935572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368119322036969702.post-30939030838372300822009-06-26T16:26:51.471-07:002009-06-26T16:26:51.471-07:00Greetings Denton, Another example of transmitted l...Greetings Denton, Another example of transmitted light, that may be pertinent to your thesis, is stained glass. It is one example of transmitted light, pre-1940’s, or pre-this millinium, that doesn’t entirely fit into the mould, as it was meant to teach and inspired awe. Though, perhaps, this is still one of the emotions current forms of transmitted light illicit are also meant to illicit, awe that is.
