text: What I said at the beginning of this book about inclusion, in relation to the notion of an omnicomprehensive experience, is equally true about abstraction; these are merely mental operations that subserve certain determinate purposes, and it is at an equally determinate stage in our journey—not always and everywhere on our journey—that they have their proper place.

But, as we have the immortal power of imagination, we are bound to provide nutriment for that celestial part of us, not less than for that which we hold in common with the brutes.
ref: 1830, Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine 1830-02: Volume 27, Issue 162, Blackwood Pillans and Wilson, page 262:
text: This and other institutions have considered these questions anxiously and ceaselessly. They have endeavored to shape their plans of education and training for the future good, and, as far as possible, to secure the self-sustenance of their pupils.
ref: 1832, Perkins School for the Blind, Annual Report, Charles B. Slack, page 15:
text: The propensities have all reference to self-sustenance, self-gratification, or self-aggrandizement, and do not give rise to a single feeling of disinterested love or regard for the happiness of other beings.

Though she was always pale in color and frail-looking, there was within her a great power of self-sustenance. She was a woman who with a good cause might have dared any thing.

subflare
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: subflares
Etymology: From sub- + flare.
Senses: examples: text: We have included in our program of measurement examples of brightenings for which the maximum intensity did not exceed twice the intensity of the undisturbed Ha background (0.64 times that of the continuous spectrum). These small brightenings should probably be thought of as “‘subflares” or flares of importance 1— or less.
ref: 1953, Gerard P. Kuiper, The Sun, The University of Chicago Press, page 701:
text: It was found that large flares were reliably detected by small subflares only occasionally.
ref: 1957, Hearings 1957-05-01, Superintendent of Government Documents, page 54:
text: They occur more often, are intenser and last longer at metre wavelengths than at shorter wavelengths. In the centimetre wave region they are virtually only observed when a flare or subflare is in progress.
ref: 1959, Siegfried Flügge, Astrophysics the Solar System Volume Encyclopedia of Physics: Volume LII (52), Springer Verlag, page 311:
text: Solar circumstances have been evaluated for January 28, 1967, the date of an observed ground level enhancement of cosmic rays which was not preceded by observation of a suitably great Ha flare. On the visible solar hemisphere, a bright subflare at S23°E19° occurred in appropriate time association with the cosmic-ray event, and was accompanied by weak x-ray enhancement and radiofrequency emission. If this flare, alone, or in combination with other minor flares observed on the visible hemisphere on January 28 was the source of the energetic cosmic rays recorded on that date, then current thinking regarding the characteristics of cosmic-ray flares must be modified. An initial study of probable circumstances on the invisible hemisphere did not lead to the immediate recognition of a major center of activity as the probable source of a cosmic-ray flare.
