Wildlife Notes23 November 2001
There are still butterflies around, probably a Red Admiral one seen in Shoreham and one in Portslade by Allen Pollard, although the butterflies appeared brown.
18 November 2001
Triggerfish, Balistes capriscus, in fine condition were discovered inhabiting part of the undersea chalk cliff face known as the Worthing Lumps, about 3 miles off the Sussex coast. About 15 adult fish were found, most of them inhabiting the rock crannies in the clear cold (12° C) water, but one fish ventured out into the open. Divers rarely have the opportunity to observe Triggerfish in the winter because of the inclement weather restricts the diving opportunities.

Poem or LiteratureThe Higher Pantheism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun, the moon, the stars, the seas, the hills and the plains–
Are not these, O Soul, the Vision of Him who reigns?
Is not the Vision He? tho’ He be not that which He seems?
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?Earth, these solid stars, this weight of body and limb,
Are they not sign and symbol of thy division from Him?Dark is the world to thee: thyself art the reason why;
For is He not all but that which has power to feel ‘I am I’?Glory about thee, without thee; and thou fulfillest thy doom
Making Him broken gleams, and a stifled splendour and gloom.Speak to Him thou for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet–
Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.God is law, say the wise; O Soul, and let us rejoice,
For if He thunder by law the thunder is yet His voice.Law is God, say some: no God at all, says the fool;
For all we have power to see is a straight staff bent in a pool;And the ear of man cannot hear, and the eye of man cannot see;
But if we could see and hear, this Vision–were it not He?

Systems of Religious and Spiritual Belief
Pantheism and panentheism
Both
"pantheism" and "panentheism" are terms of recent origin, coined to describe
certain views of the relationship between God and the world that are different
from that of traditional Theism (see Theism below). As reflected in the
prefix "pan-" (Greek pas, "all"), both of the terms stress the all-embracing
inclusiveness of God, as compared with his separateness as emphasized in
many versions of Theism. On the other hand, pantheism and panentheism,
since they stress the theme of immanence--i.e., of the indwelling presence
of God--are themselves versions of Theism conceived in its broadest meaning.
Pantheism
stresses the identity between God and the world; panentheism (Greek en,
"in") holds that the world is included in God but that God is more than
the world.
The adjective "pantheist" was introduced by the Irish Deist, John Toland, in a book, Socinianism Truly Stated (1705). The noun "pantheism" was first used in 1709 by one of Toland's opponents. The term "panentheism" appeared much later, in 1828, when it was used to characterize the view that the world is a finite creation within the infinite being of God.
Although the terms are recent, they have been applied retrospectively to alternative views of the divine being as found in the entire philosophical traditions of both East and West.

Tips
The image in the column (table) on the right has been textured using the facility called "Texturise" in Microsoft Photo Editor 3.00. Most image manipulation programs have methods to add a texture to a photograph. Some of them are quite complex with lots of variations, e.g. in Adobe Photoshop.
The Adur Wildlife Gallery web pages were constructed using the Express Thumbnail Gallery program which is shareware and can be discovered on the following web page:
The default files created
have the suffix *.html so anybody using the program has to be a little
bit cautious about overwriting existing files.
