**The Rudi Connection at Whole Foods aka The Merchant of Vino remembers Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And now, these three remain, Faith, Hope, and Love.**

I remember Tuesday morning September 11, 2001 when American Airlines Boeing 767 flight 11 plane crashed into North Tower of World Trade Center in New York City at 8.45 A.M. I was driving on south bound lanes of US 23 on my way to Ypsilanti City giving ride to a friend who was returning home after he finished his work in Plymouth City, Michigan. I was listening to my car radio and the appearance of smoke at World Trade Center was immediately reported by the radio station and gave it undivided attention. I will never forget this tragic event and I will always remember as to what I was doing at the precise moments when this tragic, cowardly, terrorist attacks have come to the attention of all American people.

Remembering September 11, 2001. Can Terror define man? The man may experience Fear when taken by surprise of a terrorist attack but the man’s Spiritual Essence is defined by Faith, Trust, Hope and Love.

As per the Law of Conservation of Matter and Spirit, Life is neither created nor destroyed by the man. Certain values are always conserved. Now, these three things remain; 1. Faith, 2. Hope, and 3. Love.

**America remembers Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And now, these three remain, Faith, Hope, and Love.**

At 8:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001, an American Airlines Boeing 767, Flight 11, collided into the World Trade Center’s north tower in New York City immediately killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in the 110-story skyscraper. Only 18 minutes later, a second Boeing 767, United Airlines Flight 175, flew into the south tower. Both towers afire, burning debris covered the surrounding buildings and the streets below while hundreds jumped from the towers to their deaths in an attempt to escape. About 30 minutes later, a third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the west side of the Pentagon near Washington, D.C. and a fourth plane, United Flight 93, crash-landed into a field in Pennsylvania killing all 40 souls onboard. Meanwhile, both World Trade Center towers collapsed into a terrifying and deadly inferno of rubble.

The Presidents’ Responses

On September 11, 2001, sitting President George W. Bush addressed the nation with a formal statement, “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” Eleven days later, the Office of Homeland Security in the White House coordinated a comprehensive national strategy to safeguard the country against terrorism and respond to future attacks. Operation Enduring Freedom, the American-led international effort to oust the Taliban, began on October 7, 2001. Although the Taliban was weakened, the war continued and Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, remained at large for nearly a decade.

On May 2, 2011, U.S. Special Forces SEAL Team Six invaded bin Laden’s fortress in Abbottabad, Pakistan and took down bin Laden. Sitting President Barack Obama stated, “The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.” He added, “his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.”

Immediately following this victory, in June 2011, Obama announced withdrawals of troops from Afghanistan. However, in August 2017, sitting President Donald Trump outlined a new plan to increase deployment of American troops into Afghanistan to continue to fight the Taliban.

The Victims

At the hands of 19 militant terrorists associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda headed by Osama bin Laden, more than 3,000 people (including more than 400 police officers and firefighters) were killed and more than 10,000 others were wounded during the attacks on 9/11. It was the deadliest terrorist act in U.S. history and the most devastating foreign attack on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Survivors and family members of survivors have come forward with stories of bravery and triumph. Tens of thousands have suffered. The initial Victim Compensation Fund (in operation from December 2001 to June 2004) received 7,408 applications from 75 countries and made 5,560 awards totaling over $7 billion for both death (2,880) and personal injury (2,680) claims. Awards ranged from $500 to $8.6 million with an average award of $2,082,128, all tax-free.

On January 2, 2011, sitting President Barack Obama signed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 in honor of NYPD detective and first responder James Zadroga who died in 2006 from respiratory problems attributed to the inhalation of toxic dust from the World Trade Center disaster site. Also known as the “First Responders Bill,” this Act expanded the scope of the Victim Compensation Fund to include first responders and individuals who later experienced health problems related to 9/11. More than 20,000 claims have been processed since then and close to $3 billion in compensation for lost wages and other damages related to illness have been rendered.

While there are thousands of known victims and survivors, some remain unknown. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York has custody of 7,930 unidentified remains of those killed in the attacks. The remains are located in the World Trade Center Repository situated between the two footprints of the Twin Towers on the sacred ground of the World Trade Center site. There is a private Family Reflection Room that is not open to the public. Family members can also speak with World Trade Center anthropologists who can answer questions about the steps they are taking to identify the remains of 9/11 victims.

9/11: Remembrance and Memorials

September 11th is now known as “Patriot Day” in the United States and is observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance of the victims of the 9/11 attacks. Across the country, numerous events are held on this day to honor the loss of thousands of lives. There are also three somber and beautiful memorial sites dedicated to remembering the victims of 9/11:

**America remembers Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And now, these three remain, Faith, Hope, and Love. The Flight 93 Memorial.**

• The Flight 93 National Memorial is located at the site of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 about 2 miles north of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The memorial honors the 40 passengers and crew who died on 9/11. It features concrete walls outlining the Flight Path Walkway and a white marble Wall of Names. There are also plans to construct a 93-foot tower to designate the entrance of the Flight 93 National Memorial which will contain 40 wind chimes — one for each passenger and crew member who died.

**America remembers Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And now, these three remain, Faith, Hope, and Love. The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.**

• The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial located in Arlington, Virginia, honors the loss of 184 people who died on September 11, 2001. Each victim’s age and location at the time of the attack are inscribed into the Memorial starting from the youngest victim, three-year-old Dana Falkenberg, to the oldest, John D. Yamnicky, 71, a Navy veteran, both of whom were aboard American Airlines Flight 77 that morning.

America Remembers Tuesday, September 11, 2001. A Callery pear tree that miraculously survived within the rubble of Ground Zero, now known as the “Survivor Tree,” stands tall and thriving nearby. A symbol of strength and resilience here and elsewhere, each year, the 9/11 Memorial gives seedlings from the Survivor Tree to communities that have endured tragedy.

• The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, a nonprofit in New York City, remembers and honors the 2,983 people killed in the horrific attacks as well as hundreds more who risked their lives to save others and all who demonstrated extraordinary compassion in the aftermath of the attacks. It is located at the epicenter of Ground Zero at the World Trade Center site. The names of every person who died in the terrorist attacks are inscribed in bronze panels around two enormous memorial pools with waterfalls that stand in the footprints of where the twin towers once stood. A Callery pear tree that miraculously survived within the rubble of Ground Zero, now known as the “Survivor Tree,” stands tall and thriving nearby.

Whole Dude – Whole Planner

**Whole Dude – Whole Designer – The Master Planner is still at Work: The Rudi Connection at Whole Foods describes the concept of Whole Designer**

Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life involves the complex nature of the designing of the Living Things and as the Master Planner is still at Work, man gets the opportunity to visualize the artistic scheme of the World in which he exists.

Whole Dude – Whole Designer: The Cuckoo of India called “KOEL”, Eudynamys scolopacea . I only want to be heard and I do not want to be seen. I speak about the relation between sound and echo, the song and the singer, the Creator, and the created.

What it is to be a Substance? and What it is to Exist? We need to establish knowledge about the man and the world on a firm basis and the information it provides must be tested for its accuracy and consistency with an external reality. We have to make the fundamental distinction between the living and the non-living matter. The scientific advances of the 19th and 20th centuries reinforced the materialistic position concerning the basic similarity of organic living and inorganic physical matter. The man is viewed as a product of natural evolution and is thought to be subject to the same laws of Physics and Chemistry or mechanistic principles without the operation of any creative mechanism.

I speak about the relation between sound and echo, the song and the singer, the Creator, and the created.

**The Rudi Connection at Whole Foods describes the concept of Whole Designer**. **I speak about the relation between sound and echo, the song and the singer, the Creator, and the created.**

I use the method of ‘Applied Philosophy’ to analyze the concept of Spiritual Optics, the Spiritual dimension of biological coloration and to explain the concept of Whole Designer.

What is Color and What is Coloration?

The Rudi Connection at Whole Foods describes the concept of Whole Designer. What is Color? What is Coloration? I speak about the relation between sound and echo, the song and the singer, the Creator, and the created.

The term ‘color’ refers to the spectral qualities of emitted or reflected light. The term ‘coloration’ is a dynamic and complex characteristic that has captured human interest and attention for a long time. The human interest to coloration ranges from purely aesthetic to the rigidly pragmatic.

Biological Coloration:

Biological Coloration refers to the general appearance of an organism as determined by the quality and quantity of light that is reflected or emitted from its surface. This Coloration depends upon several factors:

1. The integrity and deployment of the structural units and features involved in the generation of color,

2. The color and distribution of the organism’s pigments, and the relative location of differently colored areas,

3. The shape, posture, position, and movement of the organism,

4. The quality and quantity of light striking the organism, including the seasonal light and temperature variations,

5. The psychological, behavioral, hormonal, and other physiological conditions associated with the use of color,

6. The visual capacity of the viewer.

The comprehensive understanding of biological coloration demands a study of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Biology, Psychology and other subjects.

Whole Dude-Whole Designer

The term design means to make a plan, a pattern, or outline and carry out the execution by artistic arrangement in a skillful way. To produce an artistic unit, the designer will arrange the parts; details of form, color, etc., to fit into the artful scheme. Unlike an artist, the Whole Designer creates the whole scene using own imaginative power. Earth is in existence for a very long time. I invite my readers to reflect upon the designing of some of the living things which are recognized for their longevity.

The Designing of the Living Things. The Concept of Whole Designer. **I speak about the relation between sound and echo, the song and the singer, the Creator, and the created.** THIS IMAGE OF DIVIDING YEAST CELLS DESCRIBES A REAL POTENTIAL IMMORTALITY IN SIMPLE ORGANISMS THAT ARE SINGLE-CELLED AND REPRODUCE BY ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION CALLED FISSION.

Who is the Artist? Who is the Designer?

No single function can explain the coloration of living things. We need a comprehensive theory that predicts the lines and patterns of coloration of plants and animals. An artist’s palette containing only three properly chosen colors is entirely adequate under most circumstances to produce the various visual effects of color that is observed. The optical mechanisms involved in the production of color are complex. Coloration is a dynamic and complex characteristic and the term must be clearly distinguished from the term ‘color’ which only refers to the spectral qualities of emitted or reflected light.

***WholeDude – Whole Artist : Chilean Mimulus flowers. Mimulus luteus. Who is the artist that caused this visual effect?***

It is apparent that plants, and animals have no cognitive abilities to produce the coloration by which they are recognized. However, the coloration displayed gives us a clue about the nature of the “Whole Artist” who could be using imagination, has feelings for the forms created and seeks satisfaction from the visual effects that he produced. If man has the ability called visual perception, he must use the ability to visualize the “Whole Artist” who is at work. I ask my readers to give attention to the three dimensions of Color Perception. These are, 1. The Designer or the Artist, 2. The Object of Perception, and 3. The visual capacity of the Viewer.

Whole Dude – Whole Beauty

Beauty inheres in the object itself and may be judged objectively. Hume identified beauty with that which pleases the observer. Apart from the observer and the object, there is an entity called Artist who may have created the artistic form which generates the visual and the psychological experience described as Beauty.

**Whole Dude – Whole Beauty: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; a living person who can process sensory information and the feelings attached to the form generating the visual experience.**

I ask my readers to reflect upon the concept of Beauty while viewing the marble statue of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of erotic love. The experience called Beauty essentially involves three entities, 1. The observer, 2. The Object, and 3. The Artist which includes the original creator of the human form or of the artistic elements that an observer can easily recognize. For that reason, the study of Beauty will always involve the concept of a Designer who paves the way for the creation of any work of art.

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Whole Aesthetics: Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten(1714-1762), German philosopher coined the term 'Aesthetics' from the Greek word for Perception(aisthesis). It denotes a realm of concrete knowledge in which content is communicate in sensory form. — Whole Dude-Whole Designer- Whole Beauty: Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (1714-1762), German philosopher coined the term ‘Aesthetics’ from the Greek word for Perception (aisthesis). It denotes a realm of concrete knowledge in which content is communicated in sensory form.

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of art and the criteria of artistic judgment.

Aesthetics involves the study or theory of beauty and of the psychological responses to it.

Aesthetics has developed into a broad field of knowledge and inquiry. The term was coined by Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten to denote a realm of concrete knowledge in which content is communicated in sensory form. Now the term is applied to the study of all the works of the fine arts, the useful arts (crafts) and natural phenomena (eg., landscapes, the human face and body) that have aesthetic value and generate an experience called aesthetic experience.

Plato and Aristotle formulated the conception of art as an imitation of nature.

Baumgarten emphasizes on the importance of feeling. If art imitates nature, the artist must deliberately alter nature by adding elements of feeling to perceive reality.

The artistic process involves the use of illusion to mirror the creative process of the world.

A Study in Aesthetics – The Birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music:

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Whole Aesthetics: In his first book, The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music(1872), Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche presented a theory of Greek mythology and of the foundations of art. It remains a classic in the history of Aesthetics to this day. — Whole Dude – Whole Designer – Whole Beauty: In his first book, The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music (1872), Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche presented a theory of Greek mythology and of the foundations of art. It remains a classic in the history of Aesthetics to this day.

In his first book, The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music (1872), German philosopher Nietzsche presents a theory of Greek mythology and of the foundations of art. He introduced his famous distinction or dichotomy between the Apollonian or rational element in human nature, and the Dionysian or passionate element of human nature as exemplified in the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus. In Nietzsche’s view, man achieves a momentary harmony with the Primordial Mystery when the two principles of rational and passionate nature are blended either in art or in life. His book remains a classic in the history of Aesthetics to this day.

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Whole Aesthetics: Greek god Apollo is the god of all plastic energies, the deity of light, god of reason, and god of life and form giving force. Nietzsche describes Apollo as the reality that is ordered and differentiated by forms. — Whole Dude-Whole Designer-Whole Beauty: Son of Zeus, Greek god Apollo is the god of all plastic energies, the deity of light, god of reason, and god of life and form giving force. In art, Apollo is portrayed as the perfection of Youth and Beauty. Nietzsche describes Apollo as the reality that is ordered and differentiated by forms.

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Whole Aesthetics: Greek god Dionysus is the god of fertility, and passion. He taught mankind viticulture. He is capable of dreadful revenge upon those who deny his divinity. According to Nietzsche, Dionysus represents reality as disordered and undifferentiated by forms. Dionysus is the god of Choral Music, self-forgetting, embraces chaos and frees the self to seek unity with others and gives way to a primal unity with Nature. — Whole Dude-Whole Designer-Whole Beauty: Greek god Dionysus is the god of fertility, and passion.

Dionysus is the god of Choral Music, self-forgetting, embraces chaos and frees the self to seek unity with others and gives way to a primal unity with Nature.

Nietzsche describes an art form that transcends the pessimism and nihilism of a fundamentally meaningless world. The tragedy of Ancient Greece was the highest form of art. The Apollonian element represents measure, restraint, and harmony The Apollonian element is found in the dialogue which gives a concrete symbolism that balances the Dionysian element. The Apollonian spirit is able to give form to the abstract Dionysian. Nietzsche claims that the Dionysian element is to be found in the music of the chorus. Under the influence of wine or of narcotic draught, the Dionysian element makes everything subjective to vanish into complete self-forgetfulness.

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Whole Aesthetics: In Greek mythology, Orpheus, son of Apollo and Muse Calliope, played the Lyre beautifully that he charmed the beasts, trees, and rivers. He is seen recovering his wife Eurydice from Hades after her death. It describes the pain and suffering of human existence and the struggle to overcome it. — Whole Dude-Whole Designer-Whole Beauty: In Greek mythology, Orpheus, son of Apollo and Muse Calliope, played the Lyre beautifully that he charmed the beasts, trees, and rivers.

But, tragically, he loses her when he turns to look back and he was not allowed to see her while she followed him out of Hades. The Greek religion of Orphism is based upon the dual aspect of human nature described as Good and Evil. Orpheus worshiped Apollo above Dionysus and Dionysus retaliated by killing him.

Nietzsche describes the inseparable ecstasy and suffering of human existence. He states that man’s ability to live creatively in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life demand the use of both Apollonian and Dionysian elements. Plato reasons that it is only an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and world are eternally justified.

However, Nietzsche claims that knowledge and rationality in themselves do nothing to justify existence and the world. In Nietzsche’s view, life finds meaning only through art, music and tragedy. Existence and world become meaningful not as objects of knowledge but as artistic experiences. Nietzsche includes the Buddhist or the Eastern philosophy of pain and suffering as an inescapable attribute of human existence and emphasizes a tragic longing for nothingness and the absence of will. Nietzsche recommends to live a life in a human-dreamt world of illusions. He sees existence as an illusion of illusion. Nietzsche bemoaned the final destruction of Greek tragedy by Greek philosophical inquiry which sought a more logical connection between Nature and mankind. Euripides, Socrates and their disciples demanded a rational explanation of the Greek myths and caused the final destruction of Ancient Greece’s religion and culture.

The Concept of Whole Artist:

Whole Dude – Whole Beauty: The concept of Whole Beauty: Who is the Artist? An artist uses colors with imagination to create forms and to generate a desired visual effect. A “Whole Artist” is a person who creates his own canvas, his own tools, his own pigments, and creates the desired visual effects while the forms that are created have no such creative and cognitive abilities.

I coined the phrase Whole Artist to describe a person who uses imagination to create his own canvas, his own tools, his own pigments, and creates the desired visual effects while the forms that are created have no such creative and cognitive abilities.

**WholeDude – Whole Artist – The Colors of Chilean Mimulus flowers. Mimulus cupreus (Red Emperor). Who is the artist who produced this visual effect?**

For example, plants may produce flowers of different colors while they essentially lack cognitive abilities to recognize the visual effect of the color they produce. The concept of Whole Artist helps me to visualize the beauty of these flowers by reflecting upon the artistic abilities of the Whole Designer who creates plants and flowers while giving the benefit of visual experience to the man.

The study, the theory of beauty, or Aesthetics helps us to know the nature of the Whole Artist.

Whole Beauty – Whole Existence -Whole Unity – Whole Harmony:

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Whole Aesthetics: I use the term 'Whole Aesthetics' to describe the 'Wholeness' of Human Existence that requires the harmony between Dependence and Freedom, the Unity between Spirit and Soul. — Whole Dude-Whole Designer-Whole Beauty: Greek philosophical inquiry sought a more logical connection between nature and mankind. Euripides and Socrates demanded a rational explanation of Greek myths and caused the final destruction of Homeric pantheon. I use the term ‘Whole Beauty’ to describe the ‘Wholeness’ of Human Existence that requires the ‘Whole Harmony’ between Dependence and Freedom, the Whole Harmony between Illusion and Reality, the ‘Whole Unity’ between Body, Mind, Spirit and Soul. At the School of Athens, artist Raphael uses the illusion of an artistic process to create a scene where Plato and Aristotle are debating their conflicting views about Human Nature and Human Existence.

Aesthetics involves the study of objects that have an inherent aesthetic quality to generate an aesthetic experience in the mind of an observer who has the capacity to interpret sensory information. An artist uses the artistic process to capture the creative process of the world by integrating illusion with reality.

In my analysis, the conflict in the nature of human existence is caused by the tension between the two basic elements called Dependence, and Freedom. Human Dependence upon an external source of energy and sustenance is made possible by the vital, animating principle called Spirit or Soul. The Joy, the Happiness, the Blissful condition of Existence gives the man the desire for Freedom, the Freedom or the Independence from Dependence that establishes the Existence. The pursuit of Freedom may make man to live dangerously with a spirit of recklessness. Finally, Death is inevitable as there is no escape from the nature of Dependent Existence. The man uses the power of Imagination to secure his Freedom from Death and Dependence. The man creates an illusion of eternal Life in which he sees the illusion of his Freedom. Spirit is the principle that governs the man’s desire for Freedom, and Independence. It is with the principle of Spirit the man is able to dream, imagine, and create an illusion that gives him the relief or the escape from the reality of pain and suffering.

Whole Dude – Whole Beauty: The Vitruvian Man c. 1492. The painting by Leonardo da Vinci displays the spirit of scientific inquiry. We must investigate the biological basis of Human Existence to know about Human Nature. The Nature is a reflection of the potency that keeps the Object existing.

I use the term ‘Whole Beauty’ to describe the integration of the human body with the principles of soul and spirit to bring ‘Whole Unity’ and ‘Whole Harmony’ between the conflicting elements of Dependence and Freedom.

I find the application of this artistic process in the works of Whole Artist or Whole Designer who makes the man to live on the surface of a fast spinning object called planet Earth where the Power of Time churns every future instant into a past instant without ever giving man the chance to recognize the experience of a present instant.

Whole Beauty captures the beauty of the reality of human existence derived from the experience of a Grand Illusion which effectively blocks the man from experiencing the harsh realities of existence in a world which is constantly moving at an amazing speed.

**Whole Dude – Whole Beauty: To perceive beauty, I must not have no sensory experience of the harsh realities of existence on the surface of a fast, spinning object.**
