Now you are addressing my favourite topic - the so-called normality. I share this advantage with you and others here i. e. not being afflicted by it.The irony is, most people who attempt to do just that are called paranoid, whereas it is the erstwhile "normals" * who have unrealistic fears regarding the UFO or TT Brown buff in their midst!.
*Heaven forbid I should be so afflicted.
Mr. (Kevin) B. as always a multilayered post and I will try to do justice to it with my comment.
I agree with you - the nomenclature is a very tricky thing and one can easily get lost trying to figure out if the ether is really plasma or if the negative ions are indeed prana. Surely, this is an important field to cover and establish proper correlations is quite essential, but one must be on guard of falling into the trap where the trees become so prominent that one looses sight of the forrest. Therefore I share this sentiment.upon that grid is something I now think of as stuff, I used to think plasma. but words are traps.
I think Morgan did not use the word "stuff" just randomly. And like you said it is there on the grid.
Space-time is nothing, but different shades of ondulating, vibrating, moving stuff. Not in vain did T. H. Moray call it a sea.Once the system is apparent to oneself, it is as though closed doorways creak open, the doors of perception is the best way of thinking of this occurance? I consider that probably the stuff contains all knowledge, but unless the doors are open, the knowledge just circulates and goes on its way.
The stuff has in my opinion memory and can serve as a conductor for knowledge and communication in the broadest possible sense. I think that everything what happens in creation, be it our thoughts, words and actions or the flight of a comet, leaves a trace in the stuff. The future also leaves traces, because everything is just an eternal now. Let us not think of time in terms of past, present or future, but in the terms of a landscape. If you are standing at a good point you can have a beautiful view over the whole are.
MEMORIES OF FUTURE. How about that? Memories of Green - do you know that song? It's from Bladerunner, one of the BEST MOVIES ever in my opinion.
All that happens is but a trace on the stuff - in the stuff.
Now regarding patterns. The traditional Chinese culture has a very peculiar ability to discern patterns. I PREFER TO CALL THEM PATTERNS AND RYTHMS OF REALITY.
The best example can be found in Yi Jing - The Book of Changes. I would like to enter deeper into it, but one needs a good teacher and also the classical Chinese is very archaic and abstruse. I had classical Chinese-classes for 3 years, but for the Yi it is not enough. Yi Jing is very deep.
AND IT ADDRESSES THE VERY ISSUE YOU RAISED i. e. WHAT I CALL THE PATTERNS AND RYTHMS OF REALITY.
Patterns and rythms. Follow the changing of these patterns and you are in tune with reality itself. When the harmony between you and the changing reality is perfect on all levels, then you become IMMORTAL.
If you want to have certain knowledge, you just concentrate with the heart, a light obsessive tension of interest and a sense of care (like you would care for an orphaned raccoon). Then you slowly chew the thought like a cow on a sunny afternoon. With care and attention. Finally the knowledge somehow comes to you. It finds you.
Look, it really may seem that since I have been on this forum I have been a Mexican jumping bean. And all this influx has caused an enthusiastic exuberance which causes me to make leaps. In the process of doing this I make many mistakes. And even oversee many things.
But before this happened I had to chew and chew and chew. Now I have to just remind myself of this chewing and bring it in harmony with the leaps and bounds.
Sanskrit and Chinese. You know why I like them? Because they represent total extremes.Sanskrit I consider grew out of this system, matching its geometry and dual flow charectors, a visual expression of something invisable to many?
Sanskrit is a highly inflected language with an extremely complex grammar. This complexity though is fairly regular - like the crystal structure.
The Sanskrit alphabet and the phonetic image of it are very regular and concise. Each voice is represented by a letter. There is almost a complete harmony between the acoustic and visual representation of language. You write as you speak.
Further it is believed in Sanskrit that the consonants are just corpses which are brought to life by vowels. Therefore each consonant in Sanskrit is considered to have an inherent a attached to it. Otherwise it would be completely dead. A AS THE PRIMARY VOWEL - THE PRIMEVAL SOUND.
Sanskrit also has one of the oldest grammatical traditions. The foremost Sanskrit-grammar Panini Ashtadhyayi was codified in the 4th century B. C. according to Western datations.
Chinese on the other hand - especially classical Chinese - is the complete opposite. No inflections, no gender for words, etc. No grammatical tradition as we know it in the West or India until the 1890's. They regulate everything just through WORD ORDER and so-called FUNCTION WORDS (xu ci). Function words are called xu ci - "empty words", because they just have a grammatical function. Secondary or originally they may have had a meaning or still do, but primarily they are grammatical.
Also the writting is completely different, because Chinese characters do not represent the acoustic side of the language, but just hint at it. They foremost represent ideas and concepts more than they do the sounds.
I LOVE THESE EXTREMES. I like to move between extremes.
Thank you. I also find a resonance in you and other members of this board.You, I recognise.
