[quote:spin like a .... 11447095:MV8xODAwNDYxXzMxOTMyNzM3XzhEOTBDNEE5] Within my vortex of spin I see what is outside of self. My spin can separate from the grander all inclusive vortex or choose to merge. The sequence convergence is in part a desire to learn about others. To share their experience. It is driven in part by a focus on those of interest. This is the only one way to explain it. The focus is also determined by what is place within my proximinty by the Granduer. I accept it as a purposeful plan. What I am about to say my make absolutely no sense to you, as what I interpret may be totally incorrect as to the conclusions I draw from an experience. Sometimes I hit homeruns, sometimes I strike out. This is a dream from last night that I would descibe as a vortex merger. I believe you and the Seer were participants. I believe it was you two because I have felt a recent tie. Please understand, ties for me are not binding in situation such as these. They are at best a pleasant chance passing. So now I will jump in feet first. Zero or hero are the only possible outcome. I've been both. A women, a younger woman, myself. I found myself in a house/room that had three glass walls. In my possession was a very large translucent canteen shaped jug from which I drank water. The women were friendly and intent on offering me instruction in their form of martial art. I was instructed to face the younger woman on all fours. The older woman would call out technique instructions for the younger woman to execute. As the dummy, it was incumbent on me to flow with the exercise. I willingly obliged through a series of katas. It seemed that the katas were designed to flip an opponent on their back and place an opponent in a vunerable and exposed position. I questioned the woman providing the kata instructions as to the purpose of the exercise and as to when it would be my turn to practice the moves. She responded by telling me that by learning the purpose of the katas I would learn the kata itself. She then requested that I place my water jug on the ledge by the far window. I again obliged. Picking up my jug I took a swig, the water in the half filled jug swished from side to side. Something about the motion of the water swishing side to side up the opposite walls in the csnteen struck me as important. Placing the jug on the ledge, a drastic change in lighting occurred in the room. The Sun caught the water jug at just the right angle and the room lit as if the the Sun itself was present there in the room. Waves of light saturated the room capturing the water swishing back and forth in the confines of the jug. Returning to the kata the woman instructor requested that I move the practice mat closer to the window perpendicular to the jug. Doing so, she told me that 30 million people would be watching via the large plate window. Hmmmm. Once again the younger woman and myself faced off on all fours. As the young woman began the process of placing me on my back, I harkened to the waves of light still swishing back and forth within the room. Flowing with this motion provided a moment of inertia where my rotation provided just enough means of escaping from being struck on my back and vunerable. With little effort I righted myself. The lesson of being a practice dummy had taught me a new skill. On waking, the thought of myself lying helpless on my back could best be described as an overturned turtle. To me this style of martial arts, was something brand under the Sun. [/quote]

The vortex is the point of maximum energy.
It represents, in mechanics, the greatest efficiency.
We use the words “greatest efficiency” in the precise sense—as they would be used in a text book of MECHANICS.
You may think of man as that toward which perception moves.
You may think of him as the TOY of circumstance, as the plastic substance RECEIVING impressions.
OR you may think of him as DIRECTING a certain fluid force against circumstance, as CONCEIVING instead of merely observing and reflecting.

It's natural to be in your vortex.

I've never heard of this speaker before but found this little gem in part of her speech interesting tonite.
