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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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]
