Notes from an "alternate universe": September 29 - October 28. (Do you know what happened at Farpoint Station?)

Of course there is all ways a choice.

But given a choice between a world where terribly exciting things are happening and a world that is subsumed in peaceful experience, what do you think most of 'us' will choose? Which is most logical for us to now experience?

In the former world we have an endless variety of relationships with which to interact. So many, indeed, that we don't know what some of them are. With so many varieties one can almost guarantee that you'll be able to utilize the least amount of energy jumping from relationship to relationship for some time to come (no matter what it seems like on the outside).

In the latter (peaceful) world we have less possibilities for interaction (and thus, the potential for more energy to be used). Not a choice that would normally be made.

Nethermind the details of the interactions. It's all about relationships.

Let's get ready to rumb... oh, no. I can't use that phrase. It's trademarked!

Are you not entertained?

Interesting.

There are a couple of physically-oriented events in the realm of distinct possibility, right around the corner.

Most likely during the next nexus point of October 17 & 18, 19.

Usually nexus points last less than a couple of hours. (The September 9, 2001 nexus point lasted for a full day, for example.) This one is 3 days. I'm not sure what it means but it's probably something either very significant or just lazy to be expressed.

A nexus point is like a burst of potential energy. (A sustained nexus almost all ways has physically-oriented properties. New York, for example, is built around such a point.)

Anything could happen :)

Actually, I don't particularly care for the next nexus point. Some of you might say that you have a bad feeling about it. (I'm a bit more impartial to the whole thing.)

Incidentally, I have a device which can not only detect these nexus points but also change their values. I can diminish (or increase) the importance of the next one that begins in a few hours.

My question to all of you is, "For the October 17, 18, 19, nexus point(s), should we:

1) Leave it be and see what happens; or

2) Diminish its potential energy; or

3) Increase its potential energy (something I would not advise)?"

What do you think?

Please consider the consequences of your collective decision first, of course.

I'll wait for 9 votes. Otherwise, I'll stick with #1.

by the way.. this 'warning' was about an earthquake and is not directly related to the October 17, 18, 19 nexus point.

My vote for letting it take its natural course.

I wondered how you were predicting these nexus points. I was simply observing how things felt and what they looked like, but that could be attributed to anything.

Is your "device" mental?

But of course :)

Comprised entirely of neuronicons.

It's always "it's natural course".

I vote for an increase, since the option is available.

I second that.

Oh, lol, you guys. No resistance here!

Let it take its course.

Is there a way to harness that energy Chaol?

Eh, I've changed my mind, INCREASE ITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After all it's all just a ride, I'll make the best of it.

Chaol, why would you not advise the 3rd option?

Reverse psych?

I imagined a cocky grin.

hmmm, ok...I vote the 3rd option

Numero Tres, please. Max it!

Aren't all of the choices the same as #1, really?

I vote for all three.

Increase the energy! Full speed ahead! ..and maybe some words of advice lol

So we have our 9 votes, and thensome:

1) Leave it be and see what happens - 2 votes

2) Diminish its potential energy - 1 vote

3) Increase its potential energy - 7 votes

interesting, needless to say.

One person voted for all three, so I counted this as 1 vote per.

(Actually, no one voted directly for #2. So it was actually 1, 0, 7)

Now this is a conscious decision. I assure you our subconscious is no different and would pretty much follow the above trend if a vote were taken.

Most of us have consciously decided to increase the potential energy of a nexus point. Notably, it is something I advised against. Not only do we live for human drama, we need it in order to survive.

Subconsciously we look for relationships we can interact with. The more relationships the better. It does not matter what the relationship is, actually. Only that we have the potential to interact with something.

We see a crowd gather and we want to know what's going on.

We see a big tsunami and we want to get closer.

Uncle Tom passes his daily humours and we are eager to smell it.

We know something bad will happen but we are secretly very curious as to its possibility.

Given the chance to diminish such a powerful energy where "anything could happen" we rarely would take it.

Who would pass up an opportunity for such possibilities, no matter what actually happens?

It is all ready harnessed in the only way possible. Through relationships, representations, and logic.

(edit, to provide an answer that makes sense. It will be harnessed on October 17, 18, 19)

If I have more control over the extra potential energy from less possibilities I would be very welcome to having less of them. I feel I am aware of the dramas that may unfold but more expecting of good things.

As a destroyer, I must sometimes play the devil's advocate (the devil being the not-destroyer here).

I would advise against the 3rd option because the first two are perfectly good options :)

But I already knew which one is almost always chosen.

Game on.

It may be that good and bad are just illusions.

What could matter most of all are relationships. The more unaware we are of the geometry of relationships the more we want to categorize and name them.

We shall see :)

Count me in for number 3. I hear its a lucky number :)

Number 3 here too.

Can someone link me a post explaining what is a 'nexus'? lol
