26 Mar 2018-Distinktion: Scandinavian Journal of Social Theory (Routledge)-Vol. 19, Iss: 1, pp 98-105
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how events strike and haunt, from different locations and in multiple ways, and they are always altogether unexpected, and as Robin Wagner-Pacifici repeats, events appear to come out of the blue.

TL;DR: In some religious traditions, the myth of the ‘Fall from the Garden of Eden’ symbolizes the loss of the primordial state through the veiling of higher consciousness.
Abstract: Human beings are described by many spiritual traditions as ‘blind’ or ‘asleep’ or ‘in a dream.’ These terms refers to the limited attenuated state of consciousness of most human beings caught up in patterns of conditioned thought, feeling and perception, which prevent the development of our latent, higher spiritual possibilities. In the words of Idries Shah: “Man, like a sleepwalker who suddenly ‘comes to’ on some lonely road has in general no correct idea as to his origins or his destiny.” In some religious traditions, such as Christianity and Islam, the myth of the ‘Fall from the Garden of Eden’ symbolizes the loss of the primordial state through the veiling of higher consciousness. Other traditions use similar metaphors to describe the spiritual condition of humanity:

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied the design and application of college aesthetic education micro-lectures based on intelligent mobile terminals, and proposed a general model of micro-course teaching design for public art education in colleges and universities.
Abstract: In the context of mobile technology and computers, major changes have taken place in the form of organization, dissemination and the final presentation of information. Media forms with “micro” as the key word are rapidly born and developed, showing significant differences and dynamics. The purpose of this paper is to study the design and application of college aesthetic education micro-lectures based on intelligent mobile terminals. This paper studies the key technologies for the development of the micro-course mobile learning platform, including the Android platform and MySQL. This paper proposes a general model of micro-course teaching design for public art education in colleges and universities, summarizes the design of micro-course modules, and applies it to the course of “Chinese Folklore”. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the application effect of micro-lectures in college aesthetic education. Through the implementation of the curriculum, the form of public art teaching in colleges and universities has been expanded, students' learning resources have been enriched, and the teaching of public art education has been improved to a certain extent.
