‘No other sign or note than the very order’
Francis Willughby, John Ray and the importance of collecting pictures
"Between 1663 and 1665 Francis Willughby FRS collected over 200 drawings of birds and fish. These collections formed the basis of research that culminated in his colleague John Ray's publications Ornithologiae libri tres (1676) and De historia Piscium libri quartuor (1686). This article aims to describe the collections and outline a rough chronology of their formation and use. It also highlights the significance of practices of collecting and arranging drawings. It is suggested here that in Willughby's collection, as in John Wilkins's idea of a philosophical language, where there was ‘no other sign or note than the very order’, pictures acquired meaning through their relationships with other pictures. The article concludes that recent historians have been only half right to claim that pictures enjoyed a privileged position in seventeenth-century scientific culture. The case of Willughby's collections suggests that it was only in the context of a collection that pictures began to take on epistemological significance." - Oxford Journals

Baruch Spinoza 1632 - 1677 / Antonio Damasio Level F / B
I felt an immediate recognition on seeing Dr. Damasio's picture in 2003 and quickly identified him as Spinoza. At the time, I attributed it to "coincidence" and did not realize that I'd actually known him in that lifetime.

Sir Isaac Newton 1643 - 1727 / Brian Greene Level F / B
Immediately recognized Brian as someone I'd known while watching The Elegant Universe on TV in 2004, but could not recall from where at the time. The next day I was at a bookstore when I noticed a book on Famous Scientists protruding from the shelf with Newton's picture on the front cover.

Christian Huygens 1629 - 1695 / Dr. Jeff Mishlove Level B

I had thought I recognized Jeff when we met in August of 2003, but I did not realize from when or when at that time. One of Jeff's theories concerning reincarnation evidence can be explored under “archetypal synchronistic resonance".
Here, you can listen to Jeff discuss the Blindness of Debunkers and Radical Skeptics on Skeptiko.

Prince Ferdinando de' Medici of Tuscany / Dannion Brinkley Level B
Prince Ferdinando de' Medici of Tuscany (1633 - 1713) was a great patron of the arts in Florence. He was particularly fond of sculpture. His emblem, lightning striking through clouds, has been carved into his breastplate in the form of a shield. The related motto, ET LUCET ET TERRET ('It casts both light and terror), is on the base. - Liverpool Museum
Dannion currently educates people on near-death experiences after apparently being struck by lighting twice himself (in this lifetime). Click Dannion's name above for his site and special effects.
