Notes: trying to nail things down: it's difficult...like being dead tired and trying to set up a back pack tent in a raging wind storm...evening coming on, and one hasn't found level ground, and, it's going to rain...wind trying to make a kite of the tent!...throw in some lightning and a wonder about the aluminum tent pegs...kind of cool though, once inside warm and dry, to see a lightning bolt strike Cathedral Peak...anyway...back on 8/27 I posted this:..oh, I've gone over a hundred posts in this series...this one like one hundred and two...see previous!...quote following from that post...

what thoughts are, are 'captions' of what we see with 'lenses/prisms'...we make thought captions for what we see, hear, feel, taste, smell, and all are other senses...add to that everything, all the spell/lenses/prisms....art of thought, art of captions...often we 'see', experience, things we have no words for, no thoughts for, no caption for...I suppose in its turn a caption can become a spell/prism/revelation...so its a quibble just what is what!...I'm not one to explain evolution, but I suppose being able to communicate a thought, a caption to an experience, has its advantages...a thought here might be that animals sense without captioning!...one really doesn't need to think to feel..

so, I'm reading along in Robert Graves Difficult Questions, Easy Answers, the Genius bit, which is online, and happen on this, which I had read a very long time ago....

for example, of shock caused by a block-busting explosion, can send a group of professional men scrabbling for escape on a tiled floor, rather than, as would happen under a lesser shock, merely running away or throwing hysterics. Some of us inherit primitive sensibility to signs of danger which evade our educated senses, but of which cats, dogs and horses are often conscious

hmmph...educated 'captions'...anyway, from yesterday's post I thought to look up a Mystereons youtube about the goddess Artemis...clip is amateur work, even for Mystereons, but, but I had left off yesterday's post with bit about contour rivalry...a Chavin culture stele figure upside down, upside right...I had never seen the term 'contour rivalry', though I am familiar with the notion...more on that in a sec...so, so, I start to watch the Artemis clip, and it starts right out with turning an ancient Greek portrait bust in marble upside down!...and the narrator says, "see!, the forehead furrow becomes the mouth, and you can see unmistakably a grey alien's face"...apparently it is a common thing for black magicians to reverse things, and so give them spell powers...I dunno...but now I can't look at a Greek, or Roman, or anyone's, portrait bust in marble with a furrow in the forehead, and not think to turn it upside down to see if it is a grey alien from that topsy turvey perspective!...youtuber made a very successful 'made you look'!...a go figure coincidence that I'd been thinking on 'contour rivalry'...even posted just that to the comment section to the clip...a counter 'make you look'!...but, but I looked around more for 'contour rivalry'...and find it to be among a cluster of terms for optical illusions, one which I had tried to describe way back aways...once at a night concert, sitting in the dark audience and seeing the figures on stage brightly lit, I just let my focus go, my eyes' 'virtue', I learned this is called, and the figures got very bright and kind of '3-D' ish...like overlaid and stacked...I would see only one surface at a time...and another time I did this looking at a book jacket illustration...same effect...I mentioned all this in reference to the Andeans art, like the tocapus and four corner hats...if one let their vision go looking at them the forms bounce about...or some such...well, I found a name for this. and wiki explains it better!!!...game on...on the radio...Angels and Astros...Barria on mound for Angels...Multistable Perception:

quote

Multistable perception (or Bistable perception) are a form of perceptual phenomena in which there are unpredictable sequences of spontaneous subjective changes. While usually associated with visual perception (a form of optical illusion), such phenomena can also be found for auditory and olfactory precepts.
... ... ...
Human interest in these phenomena can be traced back to antiquity. The fascination of multistable perception probably comes from the active nature of endogenous perceptual changes or from the dissociation of dynamic perception from constant sensory stimulation.
Multistable perception was a common feature in the artwork of the Dutch lithographer M. C. Escher, who was strongly influenced by mathematical physicists such as Roger Penrose.^[

quote

Illusory contours or subjective contours are visual illusions that evoke the perception of an edge without a luminance or color change across that edge. Illusory brightness and depth ordering frequently accompany illusory contours. Friedrich Schumann is often credited with the discovery of illusory contours around the beginning of the twentieth century,^[1] however illusory contours are present in art dating to the Middle Ages. Gaetano Kanizsa’s 1976 Scientific American paper marks the resurgence of interest in illusory contours for vision scientists.



Kanizsa's Triangle: These spatially separate fragments give the impression of a bright white triangle, defined by a sharp illusory contour, occluding three black circles and a black-outlined triangle.

quote

Monocular rivalry is a phenomenon of human visual perception that occurs when two different images are optically superimposed. During prolonged viewing, one image becomes clearer than the other for a few moments, then the other image becomes clearer than the first for a few moments. These alternations in clarity continue at random for as long as one looks. Occasionally one image will become exclusively visible and the other image invisible.

The Dioramas

"So!" said Pakal,
"Be on the lookout
For a Long Slender Craft,
Like Ichi's."
The gathered listened
Like children on the first day of school.
Ichi's craft had nosed up
On the beach before the cavern
And the underground river emerging
From the island's mountains
That was Pakal's BlackSpace Ship.
"Inside the cavern are more caverns,
And inside them, more caverns...
They're kind of endless,
Leastwise no one has ever
Gotten to the bottom of them--
No one mortal anyway."
The Ravens, the Gulls,
The Parrots,
The Bats, the Owls,
And the Black Dolphins,
Were getting restless, and stirring.
"Inside the caverns
Are the dioramas of the worlds.
They self illuminate
For those who need such.
They are a BlackSpace Ship's maps
And when you view them
They will respond to your search,
But you must be present, close by--
Not like you can just ask a world
To do your bidding from a distance,
Which makes for a tedium
Going around each to each.
Dioramas demand courtesy,
Otherwise, otherwise
They are just invisible."


Patter

Oh, my patterned patter
Taken aback
By a perfunctory flatter.

Over the past decade, planetary scientists have come to recognize that similar vents probably exist on Enceladus, a 313-mile-wide moon of Saturn, and on other water-rich moons in our solar system. That realization immediately raised the question of whether living things could find a home around extraterrestrial hydrothermal vents, too.

Ice balls alive on the inside?



The Enceladus Explorer, a proposal in development by DLR (the German Aerospace Center), would melt a few hundred feet into the ice — far short of the ocean but perhaps deep enough to find chemical traces of life or perhaps even frozen microbes

quote

There are only two recorded texts describing the ships that transported the obelisks from Egypt across the Mediterranean to Rome. The first recorded text is from Pliny the Elder (23–79 CE), who described the great ships that transported the Vatican obelisk in 40 CE under the emperor Caligula. The second description comes from Ammianus Marcellinus (330–393 CE), who describes the ships that transported the Lateran Obelisk in 357 CE.
... ... ...
The evidence that is known suggests that ships were built similar to the Egyptian ships depicted in Pharaoh Unas’s tomb in Saqqara. The depictions show two ships that carry the obelisk underwater between them.
Three Roman ships were built to transport one obelisk. The two aft ships were of rectangular shape; they were 37 meters in length and 5 meters in width. The two ships were held together by longitudinal beams, while the obelisk was tied to these longitudinal beams and held stationary underwater. The third ship, a larger trireme, was in the front and was tied to the two larger ships carrying the obelisk. The third ship’s purpose was to help steer the two aft ships and have rowers and sail power the ship across the Mediterranean.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk_ship

unquote

missing from that it seems, is that the obelisk between the ships would have been supported by floats...but, then, maybe not. the obelisk just cradled on the beams...I dunno...a Mystereon has the notion the Great Pyramid was built with a system of water lifts that carried floating blocks to the heights of the Pyramid...

quote

Chris Massey has written a book on how he believes the pyramids were built.
Chris is pictured with his book at Derby Museum alongside some of the mummies exhibited.
In his book he gives a detailed alternative theory of how the ancient Egyptians could have used water to their advantage to make pyramid building much easier.

site lists several methods...there's jillions!...even in more recent times the Obelisks proved very difficult to move and erect...K...to top of 5th...

quote

The obelisk, half-buried in the debris of the ages, was first excavated as it stood; then it took from 30 April to 17 May 1586 to move it on rollers to the Piazza: it required nearly 1000 men, 140 carthorses, and 47 cranes. The re-erection, scheduled for 14 September, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, was watched by a large crowd. It was a famous feat of engineering, which made the reputation of Fontana, who detailed it in a book illustrated with copperplate etchings, Della Trasportatione dell'Obelisco Vaticano et delle Fabriche di Nostro Signore Papa Sisto V (1590),^[12][13] which itself set a new standard in communicating technical information and influenced subsequent architectural publications by its meticulous precision.^[

In 1958 I visited the Weizmann Institute at Tel Aviv. Professor Sonnerschein asked me what I thought of his computer. I answered that we had not yet established any contact; it was busy with a spectroscopic job on helium rays. He assured me solemnly: 'This machine can do all that the human brain is capable of doing and better! '

It came into my mind to ask: 'Can it ordain cosmic coincidence?'

Professor Sonnerschein did not seem particularly taken aback by the question, but I had a suspicion that he did not quite understand what I meant. At any rate he answered politely: 'Not yet!'

I was asking, as matter of fact, whether this huge, complicated and costly dingbat could think in the fifth dimension, as geniuses can, discover the answer to a problem by proleptic thought and then discover the problem itself by analeptic thought. Cosmic coincidence is a simple fifth dimensional manipulation of time for making events concur against all statistical probability.

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

Student riots all over the world seem symptomatic of an approaching change in the modern way of life; since the focus of disorder is almost always the philosophic department of a university. They are a natural reaction against the growing control of education by the political machine, big business, and a body of docile scientists who conduct experiments on lines laid down by their directors. The students are protesting, however blindly, in the name of genius against its antonym, against

Logic, and in clear agreement with Plato's enemy the sophist Protagoras that 'man' (meaning, as he explained, man with an inborn sense of justice, nobility and holiness) 'is the measure of all things'.

[1.1.3] The most noteworthy sight in the Peiraeus is a precinct of Athena and Zeus. Both their images are of bronze; Zeus holds a staff and a Victory, Athena a spear. Here is a portrait of Leosthenes and of his sons, painted by Arcesilaus. This Leosthenes at the head of the Athenians and the united Greeks defeated the Macedonians in Boeotia and again outside Thermopylae forced them into Lamia over against Oeta, and shut them up there.³ The portrait is in the long portico, where stands a market-place for those living near the sea – those farther away from the harbor have another – but behind the portico near the sea stand a Zeus and a Demos, the work of Leochares. And by the sea Conon⁴ built a sanctuary of Aphrodite, after he had crushed the Lacedaemonian warships off Cnidus in the Carian peninsula.⁵ For the Cnidians hold Aphrodite in very great honor, and they have sanctuaries of the goddess; the oldest is to her as Doritis (Bountiful), the next in age as Acraea (Of the Height), while the newest is to the Aphrodite called Cnidian by men generally, but Euploia (Fair Voyage) by the Cnidians themselves.

quote

Loglines are tricky things – distilling 120 pages of script into one sentence and imbuing it with the power to summarise, titillate and intrigue is a surprisingly difficult task.

... ... ...

Crucially, a logline contains all the elements necessary for the telling of a good story. It is written for industry professionals to show them that you can create a viable story for the script – a marketing hook alone won’t cut it.
One further note that you won’t like: A logline is the DNA of your script. If you can’t make the logline work, it’s probably becasue the story in your script doesn’t work. This is why some people suggest writing a logline for your idea before embarking on the script.

The creative act of poetry is fifth-dimensional in the sense that a poet catches at the nucleus of a poem, a single half-remembered phrase, and works at it until every line corresponds as nearly as possible with his foreknowledge of how the completed poem would be. Creative genius in dancing or music follows much the same principles.

Significance of the Number 108 | Sadhguru  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4LQBC0arik

unquote

a guru who goes on with the self same patter I've been going on about...wish I could copy/paste some of it...found it...

quote

Sadhguru: From the infiniteness of pre-creation arose three possibilities of creation. Through the limitless space, it chose to find expression in the form of time, energy, and gravity. These three fundamentals trapped this timeless, limitless space into a time-bound, limited creation. Of these three, time – the relentless time – elates and bludgeons, nurtures and gnashes, rises and falls. Time gives respite to no one. A worm or a bird, the hunted or the hunter, the ruled or the ruler, the slave or the emperor, beautiful bodies and wondrous palaces, prime of fame and angst of shame – everything goes back to nothingness, to dust and ashes.

... ... ...

The distances between the Sun and the Earth, the distances between the Moon and the Earth, the way the planet rotates and the impact it has – all these things have been looked at with great care. The diameter of the Sun multiplied by 108 equals the distance between Sun and Earth, and the diameter of the Moon multiplied by 108 equals the distance between Earth and Moon. The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. That is why we have 108 beads in a mala.

I could go on with all kinds of fabulous figures, but the most important thing is the deep connection between the making of time and the making of the human body. You know, the planet is approximately round and it has a slightly tilted orbit. As it travels, as it spins, it forms a circle. Today we know it takes 25,920 years to complete this cycle. This tilt mainly happens because of the gravitational pull of the moon over the earth.

https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/en/wisdom/article/the-significance-of-108

hmmph...Astros make out...no, the tilt...well, heck, I have to look it up...

quote

We consulted Clark Wilson, a Geophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin. He says earth's tilt came about early in the formation of the solar system, four and a half billion years ago. Back then, a lot of dust and rocks were floating around and crashing into each other. That debris eventually stuck together to form the planets.

Wilson:
That process is a little messy, and in the case of the earth, probably led to some big impacts that eventually tilted the axis to what it is, 23 degrees now.

then again, maybe the guru knows something about the moon the scientists don't...lol...but that patter of the guru has, has the gaslighting attribute to it...it confuses with a kind of cursory sense...Graves does it, they all do it...there's just no telling what they are going on about, they cover so much ground so quickly!...Ohtani gets a hit!...another hit...runner on first and second with hit by Simmons, who is having a big night!...if one goes to imbd, and looks up the movies made in a particular year, and peruses the loglines, one can get a sense of all this...some movies one has seen, and the log line for them are familiar...a balk!...and Ohtani comes home...Angels 5-0...some movies one has heard about...some are strangers...the Mystereons can be very strange...Graves too...

ROBERT GRAVES: Genius (From: "Difficult Questions, Easy Answers"

This is an embarrassing subject. Genius is so irregular, disputed and uncontrolled a phenomenon that writing about it is as difficult as discussing unidentified flying objects. To have seen a U.F.O. oneself does not make the task any easier, especially if it has landed in one's own garden and little green men with antennae have emerged. But at least geniuses silently recognize one another by the very way that they come into a room and sit down.

Contour rivalry is an artistic technique used to create multiple possible visual interpretations of an image. An image may be viewed as depicting one thing when viewed in a certain way; but if the image is flipped or turned, the same lines that formed the previous image now make up an entirely new design.

This technique was widely practiced by the artists of the Chavín culture of the central Andes about two thousand years ago. An example of this technique from the Chavín is the Raimondi Stela.^[1]

Open To Interpretation

Notes: game on...on the radio...Angels and Rockies...Espania on mound for Angels...0-1...I found a site that seems to have the Great Pyramid figured out...that in a sec...I don't know what all I have picked up in my reading...sometimes I think I have come on a thought on my own, and then realize I borrowed it...or maybe borrowed it...hard to tell...thought I had back a couple posts (this post like eighty ninth...or is it ninety ninth?...I've lost count...a bunch in a series)...one out...a thought I had is that a prism makes the invisible visible, changing white light as it does into colors...too, there is how iron filings around magnets reveal magnetic lines of force...two out...so, in that post just back away, I read more closely one of the pages I linked, a biography of Schwaller de Lubicz, a noted Mystereon, and happened on this:...three outs to bottom of 1st...

quote

Can you say that white light is composed of green and red light? No, and yet when it is broken through a prism it gives rise to two complementary colours, and the white light no longer exists. The colours are a transformation of white light, a transformation that imparts different vibrations to the same substance. The differences in vibration do not change the light, but their impressions appear differently to the eye, giving rise to diverse colours that are always complementary, two by two. Now remember: you are light, white light, and you will find your dimly remembered androgyny. You are light, but light broken through the prism of life, that is to say, through experiences and necessities.[38]

The concept of the king's journey from death to new life enshrined in Unas' Pyramid Texts parallels that of the sun: dying in the west, uniting with Osiris in the Duat, and rising again in the East. The cosmology of this solar passage is that of night (west to east) rather than day (east to west). It is reflected not only in the texts and their layout but also in the substructure of the pyramid itself.

quote

The same themes present in the Pyramid Texts are repeated in later texts such as the Book of the Dead.  Similarly, the substructure of the earlier pyramids are precursors for the design of later pyramids.

The internal architecture of Khufu's and other earlier pyramids, being forerunners to these later inscribed pyramids, likewise reflect the cosmic geography of the sun's nightly journey. The same rituals that were carried out in the later pyramids would have occurred in the tombs of the previous Kings, and their pyramids designed and built accordingly to serve a similar purpose.

The Duat, written with the star ideogram, or sometimes a star enclosed in a circle, was what the Ancient Egyptians called the starry night sky.  It was the equivalent of the Netherworld, the place where the souls of the dead reside and the region through which the Sun-god Ra, or Re travelled after his death each day in the western horizon.

In 2016, the Greek Culture Ministry referred to this excavation as the most significant discovery in continental Greece in the last 65 years.^[1] The small scale of the intricate details prompted questions regarding ancient Greek civilizations' ability to create such an object; some archaeologists believe that such minute details could have only been created with the help of a magnifying glass, though none dating from the stone's period have been found on the island of Crete.^[

Aristophanes in The clouds (420 BC) describes the light focus effect of a lens:

STREPSIADES: Have you ever seen a beautiful, transparent stone at the druggists', with which you may kindle fire?
SOCRATES: You mean a crystal lens.
STREPSIADES: That's right. Well, now if I placed myself with this stone in the sun and a long way off from the clerk, while he was writing out the conviction, I could make all the wax, upon which the words were written, melt.

Another large number of crystal lenses exists in Crete, mostly found at Knossos. And yet another hoard exists at Ephesus, in Turkey, though those ones are very unusual because they are concave lenses used to correct for myopia (shortsightedness), some shrinking images by as much as 75%. Most ancient lenses are convex and were used to magnify.
... ... ...
What is the answer to this? I call it consensus blindness. People agree not to see what they are convinced cannot exist. 'Everyone knows' that there was no optical technology in antiquity, so consequently when you come across its, staring you in the face, you go blind. End of conflict.
... ... ...
The oldest evidence of a sophisticated optical capability which I have found goes back as far as 3300 BC. An ivory knife handle was excavated in the 1990s from a predynastic grave of that date at Abydos in Egypt. It belonged to a king. It bears microscopic carvings which could only have been made with, and can only be seen with, a magnifying glass.

The crystal skulls are human skull hardstone carvings made of clear or milky white quartz (also called "rock crystal"), claimed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts by their alleged finders; however, these claims have been refuted for all of the specimens made available for scientific studies.
The results of these studies demonstrated that those examined were manufactured in the mid-19th century or later, almost certainly in Europe during a time when interest in ancient culture was abundant.^[1][2] Despite some claims presented in an assortment of popularizing literature, legends of crystal skulls with mystical powers do not figure in genuine Mesoamerican or other Native American mythologies and spiritual accounts.^[

The lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina. The lens, by changing shape, functions to change the focal distance of the eye so that it can focus on objects at various distances, thus allowing a sharp real image of the object of interest to be formed on the retina. This adjustment of the lens is known as accommodation (see also below).

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.^[

The "Jesus Christ" of the New Testament is a fictional composite of characters, real and mythical. A composite of multiple "people" is no one.

... ... ...

Christians did not originate the word "disciple," nor do they own it. The word μαθητής can be found numerous times in the works of Isocrates, Aristophanes and Plato, all dating to the 5th to 4th centuries before the common era.

This fuss about "disciple" is yet another strawman to distract off the real issue, which is the mythical motif of the godman and the 12 that was apparently, if not quite obviously, co-opted into Christianity. These apologists simply have no leg to stand on, so they must rely on falsehoods and strawmen, etc.

Why suffer from Egyptoparallelophobia, when you can read Christ in Egypt? Try it - you'll like it:

 Differences in body forms among organisms may be more simply explained by pattern transformations than by rearrangement of physical component parts. The form of the puffer fish (Diodon) can evolve into that of an ocean sunfish (Mola) by a transformation of the rectangular coordinate system in (A) (red dots) into a curvilinear system in (B)  that "stretches" the posterior portion of the fish.

Ants and the Golden Ratio
By Karl Priest December 14, 2012 (revised 3-6-15)
The Golden Ratio (alsocalled the Golden Section, Medial Section, Golden Mean, Divine Section, and Divine Proportion) is when the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one .
... ... ...
Addendum
1. Some insects display a rudimentary sense of numbers, such as the solitary wasps that prey upon a single species. The mother wasp lays her eggs in individual cells and provides each egg with a number of live caterpillars on which the young feed when hatched. Some species of wasp always provide five, others twelve, and others as high as twenty-four caterpillars per cell. The number of caterpillars is different among species, but always the same for each sex of larva. The male solitary wasp in the genus Eumenes is smaller than the female, so the mother of one species supplies him with only five caterpillars; the larger female receives ten caterpillars in her cell.
... ... ...

2. Phi is Fantastic.
Phi’s “cousin” pi is fun too, and used by skeptics to scoff at the Bible. Does the Bible Contain a Mathematically Incorrect Value for "Pi"? Here is another slice of lemon pi pie for skeptics.

He describes the golden ratio is just perfect, flawless, ideal and brilliant because it gives you the “small, medium and large” components of a character or object. He notes, “that’s what we really build design on, because we’re so used to seeing it in the human face and everywhere we look in trees and animals.”



Stephen was not the only one at Disney who thinks that the golden ratio, represented by the Greek letter Phi, is something special. Did you ever notice that the design of the Disney logo itself uses an upper case Phi (Φ) to dot the I and a lower case phi (φ) for its unusually styled Y? Now you’re in on the secret!



Stephen’s website and courses have more information on all of this. He sells a signed copy of his gauge for $10 plus shipping to anywhere in the world. He concludes, “It really works, it’s cool and it’s a beautiful thing.”

Notes: game on...on the radio...Doom on the Mound: Justin Verlander pitching for the Astros...not something to look forward to for the Angels, especially after the wooping they took last night...Astros 9-3...was at the game...happy crowd...fans at the stadium, win or lose, always in a good mood...Book of Caverns...this post ninety seventh or so in a series...the Egyptians had a whole bunch of books about the travel of the deceased through what they called the Duat, stylized as the twelve hours of the night...did search Book of Caverns and in the images found a good examples of the Pythagorean triangle...Calhoun, Fletcher, Trout, Ohtani, Pujols....Barria on mound for Angels...tonight's line up is like the best the Angels can field for the remainder of the season...Simmons is at short stop...first ball stand up double against the wall...off Young's glove in left...last night Ward was at third, Rivera behind the plate, Marte on first...that may be it tonight too...minus Marte as Pujols is on first...Altuve up...Altuve looks like Mookie Betts at the plate...hits like him too...oh, Arcia catching...anyway, looking at the tombs' images, sighted a page, and spent much time at site reading...author has a lot of captions and lots of pics of Egypt things...oh, 'Altuve is just so good'...hit...Astros 1-0...Angels rarely get lead off runners on...opponents seem to do it all the time...of late, right in the first inning first pitch!...hmmph...and there was one long bit all about a sash in the paintings around figures' waists...what author did was count up where the sash, and other emblems, showed up, and from that make statistical models, even pie charts, of the frequencies of this and that...this a scholarly paper in the pursuit of a PhD...seemed something someone might do with tide pool critters...I was impressed reading along, but then realized how often the authors said in captions 'this might be', or 'that might be'...lots of 'could bes', and realized none of these scholars know what they are talking about!...they collect data like stats on the back of baseball cards, but seemingly can't make heads or tails of what they have...let me see if I can find one of those paragraphs that are typical...not to gainsay the author's effort...it's a very good web site...trying to post up in blog like format a traditional scholarly paper is no easy thing to do...hit down the right field line...Astros 2-0...runner at 2nd...and now one goes down the left field line...another double...Astros 3-0...K...to bottom of 1st...

Why was the looped sash worn at the king’s waist almost always painted red?  What significance does this color hold and what message does it convey as a prominent regalia element?  In the first post on the red looped sash, we discussed the use of sashes in general, outlined previous scholarship on the regalia element, and pointed out the occurrences of the looped sash in Ramesside royal tombs.  That post noted that flowing sashes were connected to divine insignia and appear to have been related to the ankh, an important symbol of revivification.  In this second installment of our examination of the looped sash, the focus is a general examination of the color red in ancient Egypt.  Although it may seem a digression, it is important to this four-part discussion of the range of meanings inherent in the physical appearance of the looped sash that an investigation of its color be carried out.

“Ear stelae” are a staple of ancient Egyptian art.  In these scenes, which were carved into stone, both left and right ears are depicted alongside images of devout worshipers. The purpose of these stelae were to enable Egyptian Gods to hear the prayers of their people.

Plan of the labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral.


North transept rose window, c.1235



South transept rose window, c.1221-30

Each bay of the aisles and the choir ambulatory contains one large lancet window, most of them roughly 8.1m high by 2.2m wide.^[32] The subjects depicted in these windows, made between 1205 and 1235, include stories from the Old and New Testament and the Lives of the Saints as well as typological cycles and symbolic images such as the signs of the zodiac and labours of the months, or the Good Samaritan parable.
... ... ...
Just like their northern counterparts, the south transept portals open into deep porches which greatly extend the space available for sculptural embellishment. A large number of subsidiary scenes depict conventional themes like the labours of the months and the signs of the zodiac, personifications of the virtues and vices and also further scenes from the lives of the martyrs (left porch) and confessors (right porch).

Simmons waps a triple...Trout scores...Astros 4-3...Arcia up...0-1...ground out...to top of 7th...the windows have the arced tops, like the stele/shields...and again, where things are is what things are...the Egyptians reserved the top portion for the sun representations...a kind of no brainer is the arcing top represents the sky...and even the pillars/sides a stylized representation of the goddess Nut arching over the earth...the sunrise, noon, sunset...this is just everywhere...

Pythagoras on one of the archivolts over the right door of the west portal at Chartres

Joseph Campbell references his spiritual experience in The Power of Myth:

I'm back in the Middle Ages. I'm back in the world that I was brought up in as a child, the Roman Catholic spiritual-image world, and it is magnificent ... That cathedral talks to me about the spiritual information of the world. It's a place for meditation, just walking around, just sitting, just looking at those beautiful things.

the figures are 'spells' around a doorway...it's a reach, I know, but everyday, as the sun rises over all and then sets, is a door way...it is said all of it, the artistries, is about resurrection and life after death, both for Chartres, and for Egyptian things, and they are, for certain, but in truth it is mostly about the day to day...how to get through the hours of the day, and the hours of the night...hmmph...Angels made out quick?...what's going on...yep...Perez on mound top of 8th...

Like the two earlier Great Netherworld Books, the Book of Caverns first of all describes the journey of the sun god (Ra) from the western horizon to the eastern horizon through the underworld, the divine creatures that he meets, and his interaction with them. Important landmarks on his journey are

• the caverns of the "justified" deceased, now divine creatures (1st and 2nd tableau);
• the cavern of Osiris’s corpse and the sun god's own two divine bodies (3rd tableau); and
• the exit of the underworld for the sunrise (final tableau).

During his journey, the sun god passes over the caverns of Hell, in which the enemies of the world order (the enemies of Ra and Osiris) are being destroyed. The Book of Caverns also gives some hints on the imagined topographical structure of the underworld.^[

lead off home run for Astros...Astros 5-3...and another single...in my thought while looking at images of these books, was the lookout for Pythagorean triangles...there's not that many that are distinctive, though often in all the geometric things the Egyptians depict, the triangle, the Pythagorean triples, are sort of imbedded in things...like the Great Pyramid if sliced down the middle makes two right angle triangles...which is just like a no brainer, but Mystereons go on about it...but in the Book of Caverns I found one...a couple more hits and another run...Astros 6-3...

The squat, spherical body is decorated with a wide central band of angular geometric designs. These step patterns are thought to be references to stepped pyramids or temple steps; a motif often depicted in their art.

Kamuef (‘the bull of his mother’), Tomb of Ramses IX.
In this image, Schwaller saw the Pythagorean principle of tri-unity. In Egyptian theology, ka (‘bull’, ‘spirit’) indicates the active masculine force in the triad; mut, the ‘mother’, represents the feminine receptive force; while the child or son represents the product. The paradox that binds the three aspects of this lineage into a triangular unity lies in the fact that the son, by recapitulating (indeed reincarnating) his father, becomes thereby the bull (spirit and inseminator) of his mother. In short, he is the father of himself. Rather than being a simple ‘product’, he exists both in a primary state, ‘before’ the separation or differentiation into gendered polarity (male-female) and in an ultimate state, ‘after’ the two poles have been differentiated and then recombined (the alchemical conjunctio or cohabation).
Reproduced from R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, The Temple of Man: Apet of the South at Luxor. Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions International, 1999.

it's just a spell!...dag nabbit!...lol...but that's how the Mystereons go on and on...and it is a curio that it is a Pythagorian triangle...and there is some import that the serpent makes the two sides, which Mystereons note...and which may be a clue to all the serpent depictions...maybe counting them all up and doing a pie chart will unravel that enigma!...Arcia up...there are tons of angles in the Egyptian paintings...as there are in the Andeans' tocapus...and I don't think any of the scholars have collated them, and captioned them...a daunting task...two out...Ward up...2-2...Angels had it in them tonight to win this one...but came unraveled...K...Doom won...
