    got that head atilt, stop kinda feeling
    an dunno what i'm gonna do with it - yet
    but something's coming together
    even as it leaves me dizzy
    need to let it process
    in a non processing sorta way
    cuz there's always more than meets the eye...

    there must be a reason for what's brought to my attention, and why i need to write it down, i wrote in a recent post, or thought about writing it so much i thought i did, which may or may not be the same thing

    ~ i started a post on the conscious and unconscious yesterday - how and why attention and energy work between them, but the words would not come out right ~ but my thoughts may, in that wavy kinda way

    sophomoric or transcendent - there is also something so delightful, childlike, wonder full...

     

    One gave rise to Two (1+1=2) and Two gave Rise to Three (2+1=3) and Three gave rise to all numbers (3+1=4, 3+2=5, 3+3=6, 3+4=7, 3+5=8 3+6=9). Thus in addition to being a number of good fortune, Three is also the number of multiplicity and alchemy among other things.

    It's roots stem from the meaning of multiplicity. Creative power; growth. Three is a moving forward of energy, overcoming duality, expression, manifestation and synthesis. Three is the first number to which the meaning "all" was given. It is The Triad, being the number of the whole as it contains the beginning, a middle and an end.

    The power of three is universal and is the tripartide nature of the world as heaven, earth, and waters. It is human as body, soul and spirit. Three is birth, life, death. It is the beginning, middle and end. Three is a complete cycle unto itself. It is past, present, future.

    The symbol of three is the triangle. Others symbols using three are: trident, fleur-de-lis, trefoil, trisula, thunderbolt, and trigrams.

    Pythagorean three means completion.  Pythagoras (the great Greek mathematician, philosopher and "father of numerology in the western world") is credited with stating that "all things in the universe can be reduced to a number."

    Chinese: Sanctity; the auspicious number; the first odd, yang number

    Three symbolizes manifestation into the physical. It is the triangle - pyramid shape in the vesica pisces

     

     The harmonious major triad is composed of three tones in simple, whole number ratios.

  • 1 + 2

    The numbers one and two have been coming to my attention recently, perhaps finding words for them will help to focus and act on what I already know...


    numerology
    strengths:
    Extraordinary leadership skills, very ambitious, driven, goal-oriented, strong will power, courageous, unconventional, inventive, creative, original, pioneer, unique approach to problems, independent, individualistic, great potential for success.
    weaknesses:
    Stubborn, dominant, impatient, concerned with status and appearance, selfish, egotistic, angry, aggressive, demands respect and attention, pride, need to feel in command.

    spiritual
    One's primarily deal with strong will, positivity, pure energy. The number One reflects new beginnings, and purity. When the symbolic meaning of the number One is further clarified when we understand that One represents both kinds of action, physical and mental. This combined with the One's urgency for new beginnings, we begin to see that when One's recur in our lives it is time to exert our natural forces, take action, and start a new venture. One encourages us that our action will be rewarded in kind.


    numerology
    The number 2 is the number of antithesis, of witness and confirmation, the binomial, as plus and minus, active and passive, male and female, positive and negative, profit and loss, etc. It stands for the dualism of manifested life-God and Nature, Spirit and Matter, and their relationships. It denotes agreement, separation, and the law of alternation, subject and object, reflection. As uniting in itself opposite terms or principle, it denotes creation, production, fruition, and combination. Primarily about the two conditions, the manifest and the unmanifest, the explicit and the implicit. Such people are very easy to convince. It represents imagination, parenthood and sensitivity. The number 2 is the number of conception, childbirth, and dreams. It is the symbol of the moon. The colors that harmonize with the number 2 vibration are: light green, pale yellow, silver, violet and lavender.

    spiritual:
    The symbolic meaning of number Two is kindness, balance, tact, equalization, and duality. The number Two reflects a quiet power of judgment, and the need for planning. Two beckons us to choose. The spiritual meaning of number Two also deals with exchanges made with others, partnerships (both in harmony and rivalry), and communication. Two's urge us out of our indecision, calls us to unite with like-minds, and like-ideals, as well as exert our natural flow of judgment to do what is best for our souls.

    The Song of the Shadowy Female - William Blake

    My Garments shall be woven of sighs and heart-broken lamentations:
    The misery of unhappy Families shall be drawn out into its border,
    Wrought with the needle, with dire sufferings, poverty, pain, and woe,
    Along the rocky Island and thence throughout the whole Earth.
    There shall be the sick Father and his starving Family; there
    The Prisoner in the stone Dungeon, and the Slave at the Mill.
    I will have writings written all over it in Human words,
    That every Infant that is born upon the Earth shall read
    And get by rote, as a hard task of a life of sixty years.
    I will have Kings inwoven upon it, and Counsellors and Mighty Men:
    The Famine shall clasp it together with buckles and clasps,
    And the Pestilence shall be its fringe, and the War its girdle;
    To divide into Rahab and Tirzah, that Milton may come to our tents.
    For I will put on the Human Form, and take the Image of God,
    Even Pity and Humanity; but my clothing shall be Cruelty.
    And I will put on Holiness as a breastplate and as a helmet.
    And all my ornaments shall be of the gold of broken hearts,
    And the precious stones of anxiety and care, and desperation and death,
    And repentance for sin, and sorrow, and punishment and fear;
    To defend me from thy terrors, O Orc! my only belovèd!

    The Urizen Books of William Blake - glossary

    Orc:

    Orc is the spirit of revolution.  He is the Spectre of Luvah.  He brings war to overthrow the repressive regime of Urizen because, as Damon notes, "repressed love turns to war" (309).  His lover is the Shadowy Female, the material world and the Shadow of Luvah.  His name is an anagram for cor, "heart," and is also associated with orca, "whale"--he appears as a whale in America 1.14 and 2.14 (Damon 309).  He is sometimes depicted as being covered with scales--suggesting the serpent who tempts Eve to break the laws of Jehovah/Urizen.  Also, he is associated with fire and often depicted as surrounded by flames (see Urizen, Plate 20).  He is the son of Los and Enitharmon, begotten of their separation.  Los, in his jealousy, takes Orc up on the mountain and binds him there as a sacrifice to Urizen.  This suggests Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac (Genesis 22) and Prometheus' punishment by Zeus where he is bound on Mount Atlas.  His warmth and energy awaken the dead Urizen.  The actual rebellion against Urizen is led by Fuzon, who can be seen as an Orc figure in The Book of Ahania.

    (google seach for flit):
    All experience is an arch, wherethro' gleams that untravell'd world,
    whose margin fades, forever and forever when I move... --Tennyson

    of course it's all connected dear; is awe an acceptable replacement for ego - [that n link on my last post - i've no idea how that got there]...)

     

  • go eee go

    If you can see that it is your own ego that gives you trouble, you will prefer to drop it - because nobody can carry the source of misery if he understands it.

          And remember, there is no need to drop the ego.

          You cannot drop it.

          If you try to drop it, you will attain to a certain subtle ego again which says, "I have become humble."

          Don't try to be humble. That's again ego in hiding - but it's not dead.

          Don't try to be humble.

          Nobody can try humility, and nobody can create humility through any effort of his own - no. When the ego is no more, a humbleness comes to you. It is not a creation. It is a shadow of the real center.

    Try to see your own ego.

          Just watch it.

          Don't be in a hurry to drop it, just watch it. The more you watch, the more capable you will become. Suddenly one day, you simply see that it has dropped. And when it drops by itself, only then does it drop. There is no other way. Prematurely you cannot drop it.

          It drops just like a dead leaf.

          The tree is not doing anything - just a breeze, a situation, and the dead leaf simply drops. The tree is not even aware that the dead leaf has dropped. It makes no noise, it makes no claim - nothing.

          The dead leaf simply drops and shatters on the ground, just like that.

          When you are mature through understanding, awareness, and you have felt totally that ego is the cause of all your misery, simply one day you see the dead leaf dropping.

          It settles into the ground, dies of its own accord. You have not done anything so you cannot claim that you have dropped it. You see that it has simply disappeared, and then the real center arises.

          And that real center is the soul, the self, the god, the truth, or whatsoever you want to call it.

          It is nameless, so all names are good.

     You can give it any name of your own liking.

          From Beyond the Frontier of the Mind by Osho

    "The Mundane Shell is a vast Concave Earth,
    an immense Harden'd Shadow of all things upon our Vegetated Earth,
    Enlarg'd into Dimension and deform'd into indefinite Space,
    In Twenty-seven Heavens and all their Hells,
    with Chaos And Ancient Night and Purgatory.
    It is a cavernous Earth Of labyrinthine intricacy,
    twenty-seven folds of Opaqueness,
    And finishes where the lark mounts."

    William Blake, Selection From Milton

  • a day in the life

    Went out to break fast at a little mom & pop type restaurant about 3p, when I came out, clouds had skipped over the lakeshore and were building to the east, thought the blue shy was a good omen as I headed out to the travel trailer/camper dealer.  

     

    I circled the lot in my jeep, then got out and walked thru a few, and found it odd no one came out to ask if I needed help.  Checked out a few smaller ones, seemed like they'd be plenty roomy for me.  Didn't find any at the price I was looking for tho, and didn't feel like going in to ask.  Maybe some more will come in as the season starts to wind down, still keeping that option open.

    Went back to the house I'm staying at, and checked out some houses for sale on the net, then called the realtor on Beaver Island.  Too much nervous energy to stay put, about 8:30 decided to go to The lake.  It had clouded over and there was a cool breeze after another hot, humid day.  I had checked the wave report, and it said the waves were about 1/2 - 1 foot.  When I got to the lakeshore, they were 4-5 feet!  Oh yeah, I'm goin in...

    The swells were awesome, great body surfing, the best evar.  The crests were so foamy they bubbled and tickled the length of my body, and caught up in my stomach area.  Well, I knoes a bit about power and where it resides in the human body, and I was truly caught up in the power of The lake.  Out between two sandbars there was this piece of seaweed that kept clinging to me, what the heck...then I realized we were both caught there in the swirliez - I could not move, she had me for sure - all I could do was float and swirl about any which way she decided as the undercurrents took my legs out from under me- I gave it up to her power, no fear, just what ever was would be, for what seemed like very long moments...Then a wave broke and I caught it, and another, and another, and another and body surfed closer into shore.  When I could stand I still couldn't move, and had to wait for the waves to wash in and stagger in with them.  Wow, wow, wow...  

    Then took some pix

    stooped down right in the water at the shoreline, whoa, got a few drops on the lens, check the swell behind the breaking wave

  • Dream On

    just got back from The lake (next post), and popped the top on a guinness - hah - St James's Gate Dublin

    Beaver Island is thirteen miles long, three to six miles wide
    the island has 55.773 square miles
    about 600 year round residents,3-4000 April-Oct
    approx 32 miles from the mainland
    2 hours to get there by ferry (May-Oct), or 15 minutes by airplane
    I went there once, about 15 years ago by ferry

    Once home to the unique American monarchy of King James Jesse Strang it is now known as America's Emerald Isle, for the obvious reason, and many of its residents are of Irish decent (great-gramma was a McBride).

    inland lakes:  Barney's Lake, Fox Lake, Round Lake, Egg Lake, Greene's Lake, and Lake Geneserath as well as Miller's Marsh

    The islands in the Beaver Island archipelago include, in rough order of size:

    Beaver Island
    Garden Island
    High Island
    South Fox Island
    Hog Island
    North Fox Island
    Gull Island
    Whiskey Island
    Squaw Island
    Trout Island
    Grape Island
    Hat Island
    Shoe Island
    Pismire Island

     

      

     

    Well, I called a real estate agent on the island, and will be receiving e-mails and a postal mailing on this condo and other properties for sale.  This is in the most populated area of the island, and near where the ferry docks.  There are 6 motel rooms, and 8 condos (and the islands only swimming pool).  Oh, and she just had to mention a log cabin with a metal roof on two acres, that's probably just out of my financial reach.  She said it's been for sale for 3 years, so maybe, well, I've bought and sold enough houses to know it never hurts to make an offer...(how did she know my fav house of the umpteen i've had was the log cabin upta Grant) 

    There are a couple that I know I can afford, and she said there are some that never make teh internets, so, we will see - I did something - it's a start - maybe a three day (or so) island holiday is in my near future...


  • is the sky the limit?

    am being affected mentally and physically here, so, need to do something besides making lists of what's already obvious - the gaahhhs win, well win's not quite the right word, more like - i read a random blog yesterday about a man being beat up by tomato worms, i've wielded the mighty stick sword against them too, they always come back - (doan worry, nothing makes sense) if the dust (etc) is in peaks, so is it in the air i breathe, and it's in all my irritated pores - i tired of moving, damnmit, is there no right place - seldom content being idle, so much energy, must move, do, find the place to let my cares go, should that be so difficult?
    *sigh*

    k, three potions (Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble) options:
    1)  there's a small condo for sale at St James with a Lake view
    2)  a small camper/van and go with the flow of gypsy blood
    3)  a small house, north of here, close to Lake Michigan or Superior
    4)  may be more...

    well there, i've aetherized it, where will it go...

  • sand song

    there's a short story
    about a girl who dreamed
    of soul mates and glory
    time flew by and it seemed
    forever she'd sit in the sand
    watch it run through her hand
    she sighed danced and sang
    however quietly it may be
    in her head an echo rang
    til it made her see
    she's still playin
    olley olley oxen
    all outs in free

  • Christopher Poole

    Ever wonder where lolcats, rickrolling,
    the recent popularity on Google Hot Trends of the icon made popular by Nazi Germany,
    and other viral-like online phenomenon came from?

    http://www.4chan.org/   (8.5 million page views a day)

    The Wall Street Journal named him as Christopher Poole, a NewYorker who was only 15 when, with the help of his mother's credit card,he launched 4chan from his bedroom five years ago.

    Time magazine calls it the wellspring of net culture and its online pranks are world-famous.  Time hailed him as the 'Master Of Memes' and described 4chan as 'the wellspring from which a lot of internet culture, and hence popular culture, bubbles'.  'For better or for worse, this is what the counter culture looks like today:  raw, sarcastic, bare of any social or political agenda but frequently funny as hell.'
