Levi ben Gershom, or Gersonides Dec 20, 2008
But in philosophy, he comments on Aristotle, Averroes, and Maimonides, and expresses opinions God, on God's omniscience, and on the immortality of the soul. He was a noted Talmudist of this fact even the detractors of his philosophical works admit (Feldman, 8-9) and Biblical commentator, who wrote exegeses on the book of Job, the Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Proverbs, and the Pentateuch, just to name a few of the most important (11-16).

We know, however, from the polling statistics, that the Iraqi people are NOT satisfied with the job American troops are doing. This fact has been well established.On the other hand, the Iraqi people ARE satisfied with their democratically elected Iraqi government. No omniscience is required to learn this, as it has been reported that:"Despite sectarian slaughter, ethnic cleansing and suicide bombs, an... (Corvallis Gazette Times, OR)

Renew Yourself Naturally May 23, 2008
There is omniscience inside of us with the ability to balance and harmonize the discord that causes "dis-ease." Whether ailing physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, we are energetically empowered to orchestrate our own well-being. By tapping into the brilliant intelligence of cellular memory through a tool called "muscle testing" or "Kinesiology," an access window to the body and mind opens, uncluttered by conscious thought.

" Her preoccupation, revealed by almost every one of her narrating voices, is the relationship between such self-involvement, and concepts such as objectivity, omniscience, reportage, fixity.Over time, her position on narratorial power seemed to shift; her narrator in Reflections in a Golden Eye is relatively judgmental and closed compared to the narrator of her final novel, Clock Without Hands, whose magnificent set-piece near the end is an aerial descent from a position a great distance away...

A life of their own Jan 26, 2008
The novelist adopts God-like powers of omniscience, but what can she really know of her creations. To argue that we can know Jean Brodie just as deeply as we can know George Eliot's Dorothea Brooke in Middlemarch, to argue that lacunae are as deep as solidities, that absence in characterisation can be a form of knowing as profound as presence, that Spark's and Saramago's and Nabokov's characters can move us as much as James's and Eliot's, is to concede nothing to Gass's scepticism.
