Facets of Unity: The Enneagram of Holy Ideas
Submit yr be aware: First released in 1998
------------------------
Facets of cohesion offers the Enneagram of Holy principles as a crystal transparent window at the actual fact skilled in enlightened recognition. the following we aren't directed towards the mental forms however the greater religious realities they mirror.
We detect how the disconnection from each one Holy inspiration ends up in the improvement of its corresponding fixation, therefore spotting each one varieties deeper mental center. knowing this middle brings every one Holy concept close by, so its religious standpoint can function a key for unlocking the fixation and releasing us from its boundaries.

2. Here we present a few properties that facilitate its immediate use. Proposition 1. Let f : Ω → R be a random variable on a probability space (Ω, Σ, P ) and P ⊂ Σ be a partition of Ω (of positive probability for each member). 2. Proof. This is also an easy consequence of the definitions. 4), (EP (f ))(ω) = EAn (f )(ω), ω ∈ An , n ≥ 1, since Ω = ∪n An and each ω in Ω belongs to exactly one An . Therefore the existence of EP (f ) implies that of EAn (f ), n ≥ 1, and hence of EA (f ) or EA (f ). 3)).
The next result contains the positive statements. Proposition 2. Let {Xn , n ≥ 1} be a sequence of random variables on (Ω, Σ, P ) and B ⊂ Σ be a σ-algebra. , and in L1 (P )-mean. n Proof. (i) Replacing Xn by X − X0 ≥ 0, we may assume that the sequence is nonnegative and increasing. , since E B (X0 ) exists. , also the preceding remark). e. e. Since the extreme integrands on either side of the equality are random variables for B, and A in B is arbitrary, the integrands can be identified. It is precisely the desired assertion.
4 Conditioning with densities Proof. If A ⊂ Rn is an interval and ϕ = χA , then ϕ(X) = χX −1 (A) where X : Ω → Rn is the given random vector. Thus if A is expressible n as × [ai , bi ) we then have on writing X = (X1 , . . , Xn ): i=1 E(ϕ(X)) = P ([X ∈ A]) = P (a1 ≤ X1 < b1 , . . ,Xn (x1 , . . , xn ) an Rn χA dFX . Thus (10) holds in this case. By linearity of E(·) and of the integral n on the last line, (10) also holds if ϕ = i=1 ai χAi , a simple function. Then by the monotone convergence theorem (10) is true for all Borel functions ϕ ≥ 0, since every such ϕ is the pointwise limit of a monotone sequence of simple functions.
