  Amazon.de: Secret Knowledge: English Books: David Hockney   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
David Hockney's brilliant Secret Knowledge is the fruit of his practical and historical investigation into how artists from the 15th century onward produced such vividly realistic drawings and paintings.
Secret Knowledge carefully explains how Masaccio, Van Eyck, Holbein, Caravaggio, Vermeer and Ingres all used optical aids, as it carefully takes apart the paintings and recreates the instruments and techniques used by artists from as early as the 1430s.
Secret Knowledge is the fruit of this labor, an exhaustive treatise in pictures revealing clues that some of the world's most famous painters, Ingres, Velázquez, Caravaggio (just to mention a few) utilized optics and lenses in creating their masterpieces.

 Archetypal Knowledge (5 of 25)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Avidya is knowledge of the non-existent non-self and thus understood as a synonym of Maya becomes "Agnosticism and Nescience rather than ignorance."(6) An agnostic is not an ignoramus, but his knowledge is not Gnosis and hence illusory.
The knowledge of the phenomenal universe in reference to its origin, evolution and disintegration is the lower Knowledge (Apara Vidya);(13) the Realization of the Self as the one and only Knower is the Higher Wisdom (Para Vidya) -- the Way from the former to the latter is the Gupta Vidya, the Secret Path.
Gupta Vidya, the Secret Knowledge that leads to Para Vidya, is like the way to Mount Everest; the latter in all its beauty, grandeur and dignity causes awe and reverence in mortal minds and inspires the few earnest hearts to the perilous adventure of climbing its steep ascents, the necessary knowledge whereof is lost.

Capturing individual knowledge so that it can be understood and applied by an entire organization is a key objective of most knowledge management (KM) initiatives.
Knowledge managers face an investment choice as they consider the development of KM applications: technology vs. content.
Ultimately, knowledge management needs to be more than facilitating knowledge management, which is what happens when you implement a self-service portal without addressing content issues.

 Alpheus--Secret Tradition of Islam
Bacon asserted that his knowledge was only part of a whole body of ancient wisdom known to Noah and Abraham, to Zoroaster, to the Chaldean, Egyptian and Greek masters, and to Muslim mystics.
Within Islamic esotericism, as in the original Mosaic and Christian revelations, knowledge is made accessible depending on the integrity and cognitive ability of its recipients, with the consequence of requiring the withholding of information from the uninitiated.
It is the secret of the secret; it is the secret of that which remains wrapped in secret.

 Margaret Barker on Secret Tradition
This contemplation which gives knowledge of things past present and future seems to have been Clement’s way of describing the goal of the apocalyptists’ ascents, namely the vision of God and the knowledge of all things past, present and future which were the result of that experience.
The secret tradition of the priests probably became the secret tradition of early Christianity; the visions and angel lore suggest this, as does the prohibition in Deuteronomy 29.29.
If the secret tradition did concern the practice and meaning of the sacraments, and if this tradition was rooted in the symbolism of the temple and the teachings of the ancient priesthood, its recovery is of more than simply academic interest.

Clement advised one of his students that the existence of this secret gospel should be denied ‘even under oath’, for ‘the light of the truth should be hidden from those who are mentally blind’.
The documents were concealed, it is true, but the knowledge itself and its actual existence had never been made a secret of by the Hierophants of the Temple, wherein Mysteries have ever been made a discipline and stimulus to virtue.
As The Secret Doctrine and other theosophical works demonstrate, theosophical teachings on karma and reincarnation, the septenary constitution of the man and the universe, evolution and involution, after-death states, planetary chains, and rounds and races, are reflected to varying degrees in many of the world’s religious and philosophical systems.

 Esotericism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast exoteric knowledge, is knowledge that is well-known or public.
In Western, English-speaking societies today, the term "esotericism" has come to mean any knowledge that is difficult to understand or remember, such as theoretical physics, or that pertains to the minutiae of a particular discipline, such as "esoteric" baseball statistics.
Another possibility is that such knowledge may be kept secret not by the intention of its protectors, but by its very nature—for example, if it is accessible only to those with the proper intellectual background.

 ARC ARTicles - Ann James Massey reviews Hockney's 'Secret Knowledge' - Ann James Massey - Page 1/1
ECRET KNOWLEDGE is David Hockney's thesis on his theory that the leap in artistic realism which started in the 15th Century was due to the invention and use of the lens.
He claims that artists could not have drawn or painted so perfectly without the use of those well-known early devices that "projected" the image onto a flat surface and was then "traced" or filled in by the artist.
There was no question that the master would hold back any of his knowledge, because these "boys" would eventually take over the basic work on some pieces.

Below is one of the earliest known published drawings of a camera obscura being used to observe a solar eclipse in Gemma Frisius's De radio astronomico et geometrico liber, 1558.
What is new is Hockney's claim that this is the "secret" of how the Old Masters made all of their great paintings and that they didn't have any other way of doing so.
One interesting fact about these drawing devices is that one of the earliest creators of photogaphy, Fox Talbot, originally became interested in the idea of photography because he found it impossibe to make acceptably realistic drawings using a camera lucida or camera obscura.

The secret means some piece of information, be it a password, the private key of a public key cryptosystem, a solution to some mathematical problem or a set of credentials.
With Zero-knowledge protocols, the prover can convince the verifier that she is in possession of the knowledge, the secret, without revealing the secret itself, unlike e.g.
