Game on...on the radio...Orioles at Dodgers...happened on youtube, old interview of Salvidor Dali by Dick Cavette...Dali makes two reveals: the califlowers in his Rolls Royce that he delivered once to an art show, and, his method of dreaming...oh, he's on about philotaxes, my thought, and that thin layer of dreams one goes through going to sleep and waking up...in posts, I've been on about both...califlowers exhibit fractal spirals; and, just how these before and after dreams work has been a puzzle, a puzzle I puzzle over...puzzle puzzle...the touch touch stuff...end of fourth...Orioles 0-Dodgers 3...

🎶I left some comments, deleted one...this is a dangerous subject, the liminal dream layer, I mean...I kinda discovered it for my ownself, just being curious about my dreams...even blogged a dream journal, but that trailed off...bbk...

🎶from my Blogger blog WOW Dream Quest, November 19, 2014:

Retirement...actually, I'm just sorta getting along on the social security, as I once did with rental from my house, and am only retired in that I don't have a day job...and not having a routine, I'm asleep and awake at odd times, and find when I wake up from sleeping, and still groggy, I just go back to sleep!...and when awake, I often stay up almost like twenty four hours, just too many things to look into!!...that, and age, makes for a kinda napping sleep, and I'm dream seeing a lot of dreams, some very elaborate, like one last night...

🎶Orioles 3-Dodgers 3...odd to read these old blog posts...World of Warcraft was so dreamy, I thought to side by side it with dreams...I left off trying to report my dreams...the reports too hard to do...there would be uncertain things that I'd try to approximate...still like that...what I would like, when I tee up a golf ball, is I hit it straight and true...I don't know how I can do that in a dream...for reals, it's practice practice practice...maybe real world practice bleeds into ones dreams...oft it seems, the blundering in dreams bleeds into reality!...anyway, here is that deleted post:...wait...didn't save it...but there were others::

✨️🧐A Fun Nature Comparison

While Capuchin monks use this as a temporary creative hack, chinstrap penguins actually use a nearly identical survival strategy. A study published in the journal Science discovered that nesting chinstrap penguins take over 10,000 micro-naps a day. Each nap lasts an average of just 4 seconds, allowing them to rack up 11 hours of sleep daily while constantly guarding their eggs against predators. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


Key elements of this concept in Castaneda’s philosophy include:
• The Gate of Dreaming: The threshold between sleep and waking is a critical threshold. He suggests that focusing your gaze on objects right before falling asleep (hypnagogic) or as you wake up (hypnopompic) serves as an anchor to shift awareness into the "second attention". [1, 2, 3]

✨️hypnopomic scrying eyelids

Hypnopompic scrying is the practice of gazing into the visual imagery that appears when your eyes are closed (the "eyelid screen") while you are in the hypnopompic state—the transitional phase of waking up. Because the brain is still bleeding over from REM sleep, these closed-eye visuals can be highly vivid and dreamlike. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The Science Behind the Experience
Closed-eye visuals (CEV) encompass the shapes, colors, and patterns your brain perceives when your eyelids are shut, even in a dark room. [1]

✨️are there recognizable things in the archaeological record in the Book of Enoch...

The short answer is no. In terms of the fantastical, pre-flood events described—such as fallen angels (the Watchers), giant Nephilim, or Enoch's guided tours of the cosmos—there is no supporting evidence in the archaeological record. [1, 2, 3, 4]
However, looking at the manuscript and historical record, there is a wealth of archaeological evidence validating the text's ancient status: [1, 2]
• Dead Sea Scrolls: This is the biggest archaeological validation of the text. Before 1947, critics assumed the Book of Enoch was a relatively modern fabrication because it only survived completely in ancient Ethiopic (Ge'ez) manuscripts. In Qumran Cave 4, archaeologists discovered fragments of 11 distinct Aramaic manuscripts of Enoch, alongside the Book of Giants. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Dating: These Qumran scrolls definitively proved that the Book of Enoch was being read, copied, and revered by Jewish sects in Judea between 200 BC and 50 BC. []New Testament Influences: The physical scroll evidence proves that the world of Jesus and the early Apostles was deeply steeped in Enochian thought. The Epistle of Jude directly quotes a prophecy from 1 Enoch (Jude 14-15), which can be matched to the ancient Aramaic fragments found by archaeologists. [, 3, 4, 5]
Ultimately, scholars classify the Book of Enoch as "pseudepigraphal"—meaning it was written by ancient anonymous authors long after the time of the biblical patriarch Enoch himself. The text acts as an incredibly important archaeological snapshot of Second Temple Judaism, but it does not serve as a factual, historical record of the deep past. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

✨️have Mormons found recognizable things in the archaeological record in the Book of Enoch?

✨️Zion Enoch movie Matrix

The connection you are likely thinking of stems from theology, which heavily inspired the Wachowskis. In Judeo-Christian theology (specifically noted in Latter-day Saint theology and various apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch), the biblical prophet Enoch built a holy city that he named Zion. [1, 2, 3]
• According to the religious texts, Enoch's city of Zion became so pure and righteous that it was eventually "translated" or taken up directly into heaven to escape a corrupt, fallen world.This heavily mirrors The Matrix films, where the human city is named Zion and represents a sanctuary of truth and freedom hidden deep underground, completely cut off from the artificial, corrupt illusion of the Matrix simulation. [1, 3]

🎶a Mormon account of Zion, including Mechelzidek...bottom of seven..."translate"...

✨️how does Zion translate to Heaven?

Extraterrestrial Interpretations: Some modern theories and esoteric movements (such as the Raëlian philosophy) reinterpret the texts surrounding Zion and the fiery chariots (like Ezekiel's wheel) as ancient recollections of extraterrestrial spaceships and advanced alien creators. [1]The New Jerusalem: Some preachers and researchers also theorize that the New Jerusalem, descending from the sky at the end of days, could be envisioned as a massive, glowing starship. [1, 2, 3]

🎶top of eighth...hmmph...been there seen that in the movies...nowadays everyone is an Enoch, in that our educations give us tours of the Universe, Earth's history, and future...Book of Enoch pales beside this education, but it has a cache...Angels have one hit...oh, they get another hit...Neto up...top of eighth...

✨️Movie Close Encounters Book of Enoch

Ancient Astronaut/Theological Parallels: In online discussions and communities, the Book of Enoch—which describes otherworldly "Watchers" descending from the skies and interacting with humanity—is frequently compared to modern UFO lore. [1]Disclosure Day (2026): This film, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, has sparked massive debate among religious groups. The narrative explores how unearthing proof of "non-human intelligence" impacts religious beliefs, with many viewers and commentators drawing direct connections to the fallen angels and demons described in the Book of Enoch.

Introduction to the Songs of Innocence

By William Blake

Piping down the valleys wild 

Piping songs of pleasant glee 

On a cloud I saw a child. 

And he laughing said to me. 

Pipe a song about a Lamb; 

So I piped with merry chear, 

Piper pipe that song again— 

So I piped, he wept to hear.

Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe 

Sing thy songs of happy chear, 

So I sung the same again 

While he wept with joy to hear 

Piper sit thee down and write

In a book that all may read— 

So he vanish'd from my sight. 

And I pluck'd a hollow reed. 

And I made a rural pen,

And I stain'd the water clear,

And I wrote my happy songs

Every child may joy to hear

William Blake

🎶Just a few, and human skeletons with bone deformities typical of riding donkeys-horses-bow legged...the Canyon trail thought to go all the way to area of Chad...once there were giant lakes thereabout...and here's the blog site that has take:

🧐https://share.google/sVsiJZ7zXYoGW5P5R

If you continue southwest you’ll cross the border into southeast Libya and, if you keep on going, venture into the northeast corner of Chad, in Central Africa.
It’s a daunting, perilous, journey. And now, thanks to a body of new archaeological, textual, environmental and linguistic research, we have evidence that the ancient Egyptians undertook it.
In an article recently published in the Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections, Thomas Schneider, a professor at the University of British Columbia, lays out this wide assortment of evidence.
“It’s something really new,” said Professor Schneider in a telephone interview. “There’s a new window opening into the past of Egypt.”

🎶It's a new focus, but an old notion that the Egyptians came from the Sahara...people looking for greener lands as the Sahara dried out...

✨️sahara early proponents

+7
The theory that Ancient Egyptians migrated from a green, habitable Sahara to the Nile Valley as the desert dried out is known as the Green Sahara or Saharan Pump theory. This connection remains a foundational concept in the understanding of predynastic Egyptian population history and state formation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Proponents and Scholars
• Dr. Karl Butzer: A pioneering geographer and environmental archaeologist who, in his 1976 foundational book Early Hydraulic Civilization in Egypt, extensively explored how changing mid-Holocene environments and the drying of the Sahara pushed pastoralist groups to settle permanently along the Nile. [1]Dr. Fred Wendorf: A prominent archaeologist who led massive excavations at Nabta Playa in the Egyptian Sahara. His work in the 1970s and 1980s produced definitive evidence of early cattle herding, complex societal structures, and religious practices in the desert that predated the Pharaohs, which he argued migrated to the Nile. [1, 2]Dr. Frank Yurco: An Egyptologist at the Field Museum in Chicago who championed the perspective that the roots of Egyptian pharaonic kingship and culture were deeply embedded in northeast African and Saharan pastoral traditions.UNESCO International Scientific Committee: In Volume II of the General History of Africa (published in 1981), scholars strongly argued that Egypt was an indigenous African civilization with a mixed population that originated largely in the Sahara. [1]Dr. Rudolph Petri: An early 20th-century anthropologist who, based on his excavations in predynastic Egyptian cemeteries (such as at Badari), proposed an indigenous African, Saharan, and Nubian basis for the earliest Egyptians.
Why the Theory Emerged
During the African Humid Period (roughly 12,000 to 5,000 years ago), the Sahara was a lush grassland populated by mobile pastoralists. As the climate abruptly changed and the desert desiccated (around 3900 B.C.), these populations were forced to relocate to the only permanent water source: the Nile River. The integration of these Saharan nomadic cultures with indigenous Nilotic populations and later Near Eastern farmers is considered the catalyst for the development of Egyptian civilization. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

🎶can't consider this and not wonder if the "12,000" years time is linked to the Younger Dryas...

✨️Sahara drying coincides with Younger Dryas

Yes, there is a clear, documented link between Sahara drying and the Younger Dryas. [1]
The abrupt return to near-glacial, cold, and dry conditions in the Northern Hemisphere between 12,900 and 11,700 years ago caused a massive disruption to the African Humid Period. As the North Atlantic cooled, the West African monsoon weakened, rapidly shifting North Africa into a sharp, regional arid phase. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The climate anomaly caused several distinct effects:
• Monsoon Collapse: The southward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) starved the Sahara of its usual monsoon rains, leading to a severe drop in net precipitation. [1, 2]Vegetation Loss: Lush savannahs and temporary lakes shrank significantly, forcing localized vegetation into desert-like scrub. [1, 2]Prehistoric Migration: The resulting hardship forced early human groups in the Sahara to adapt or move to more reliable water sources, such as the Nile Valley. [1, 2]

🎶deserts thereabout are really really dry, like Peru...unlike hereabout where there is scrub...which makes me think a sudden change caught plant evolition flat footed...

✨️why are Sahara, Saudi Arabia, deserts without plant life?

Nutrient-Poor, Porous Soil: The soil is heavily weathered and consists mostly of sand or bare rock. Sand drains water instantly and is very low in the organic matter necessary to sustain plant growth. [1, 2, 3, 4]Cyclical Climate Shifts: Geological studies show that both the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula were once lush savannas. However, natural 41,000-year cycles in Earth's tilt and orbit cause these regions to oscillate between wet periods and extreme deserts. [1, 2, 3]

✨️why are Peru's deserts without plant life?

✨️are some deserts too new for plants to adapt to them?

🎶nope, ai says...but see its say!...anyway, I left a comment to the aforementioned blog...

I was having this idea...this idea!...and found this looking for it...Pashedu Tomb Western Mountain...Donkey trail into the Western Desert-famous cave there...rock art nomadic herding hunting...dogs with leashes-red sash...Osiris with red sash...Anubis guardian with sash...Abydos 1st Dynasty Tombs...Osieron...Pilgrimage journey to Osiros birth place...this trail trails off into the Western Desert, aaand that was my track to here...cool!

🎶the "idea" being the canyon trail, and the blog links it to one of Book of Gates, that that journey has elements of the for real Trail into the Western Sahara...

🧐(47) The West Beyond the West: The Mysterious “Wernes” of the Egyptian Underworld and the Chad Palaeolake

A e Amduat, one of the Egyptian guides to the underworld, provides specific descriptions and measurements relating to the first three hours aer sunset, during which the sun god Re passes through an interstitial realm (the first hour) before arriving at two gigantic sweet-water oceans (the second and third hours). Rather than seeing in this imagery reflections of the unconscious and antecedents of modern psychotherapy (as has been proposed by some modern scholars), the present work argues that the description was inspired by actual knowledge of the environment of the region to the distant southwest of the Nile Valley, beyond the Gilf Kebir and Gebel Uweinat on modern Egypt’s southwest corner. Recent evi- dence has made plausible that the Abu Ballas Trail connected Egypt with the Chad Basin of Central Aica. Elements of the factual description provided in the Amduat (including environmental and linguistic details; e.g., the hitherto unexplained name “Wernes”) can be corroborated by modern palaeoecological reconstruction of the area as having comprised gigantic palaeolakes, as well as by linguistic and narrative evidence.

🎶Beyond Beyond!...neat...back to the dumpsters...
