. Fejfar and Neothomism P.C. (PA) and The American People as a Public Domain Copyright and Patent. The following is a Daily Meditation which is based upon the Lonerganian Self Appropriation of Consciousness Formula as written about by Fred Crowe, S.J.:

1. I Experience: Experience, Understanding, and Analogical Judgment of Fact.

2. I Understand: Experience, Understanding, and Analogical Judgment of Fact.

3. I Analogically Judge that I know reality best through the interrelated Cognitive Operations of: Experience, Understanding, and Analogical Judgment of Fact.

Note:

1. I Experience the Cognitive Operations of Experience, Understanding, and Analogical Judgment of Fact, when I am aware of my own Sense Experience and my own Internal Experience, and my own Understanding and my own Analogical Judgment of Fact as Cognitive Functions or Faculties.

2. I Understand the Cognitive Operations of Experience and Understanding and Analogical Judgment of Fact, where Experience involves an awareness of my own Sense Experience and Internal Experience; and where Understanding involves my ability to develop ideas and concepts and reasonably label and categorize such Understand and labeling and categorization and classification done as a cognitive operation by myself and others; and where I have the actual cognitive operations involving the ability to Compare and Contrast such ideas, labels, concepts and categorizations and classifications.

3. I Analogically Judge that my Experience and my Understanding are so substantially or closely analogous, such that I can make a Analogical Judgment of Fact that such Experience and Understanding taken together with such as Analogical Judgment of Fact are a sufficient basis for a Probable Fact Judgment.
