Like a whirlwind of fear, confusion, anxiety and anger. Quoting: Seer777 Ending tonight with the 'apprehension' of 'suspect 2' who was hiding...in a 'boat' it seems. ... Feels a bit like 'foundations' have been rocked and the Earth responded in like. Nuclear War trepidation, banks imploding, stock market, mass murder, explosions, and earthquakes... Sounds a bit like business as usual, but this felt a bit different...somehow. Phew. May at some point Man find and cultivate that which unites, and focus not on that which 'divides'. i noticed that clear sun thus this was earth talking nick herbert once told me there are two ways to interrogate nature... 1. drugs 2. poetry and that one day MN would answer back i doubt nick`s attitude got very far |

The past is possibility Quoting: observationAccording to Hawking and Mlodinow, one consequence of the theory of quantum mechanics is that events in the past that were not directly observed did not happen in a definite way. Instead they happened in all possible ways. This is related to the probabilistic nature of matter and energy revealed by quantum mechanics: Unless forced to choose a particular state by direct interference from an outside observation, things will hover in a state of uncertainty. For example, if all we know is that a particle traveled from point A to point B, then it is not true that the particle took a definite path and we just don't know what it is. Rather, that particle simultaneously took every possible path connecting the two points. Yeah, we're still trying to wrap our brains around this. The authors sum up: "No matter how thorough our observation of the present, the (unobserved) past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities." Thread: 8 shocking things we learned from Stephen Hawking's book what Hawkins is saying is there is uncertainty if no force observation/affect) is present that sounds like common sense in an electric universe which possess observed fields of influence through every inch of electric/magnetic nature the fact it can never be without force affect makes it odd for him to word it that way but do we see why he does we will forget the archaic notion that only god and man possess the ability to observe thus their observation forms order out of uncertainty and we will forget the other odd notion that if mankind disappeared, order in our universe could never exist thus it is mans presence within our universe that forms it in the order it is i think hawkins has a god complex that is his issue This is interesting, I think this story relates. Standing on the top of a waterfall in a forest, a voice says one has to get creative and manifest the destiny that one desires. Jumping off the waterfall and falling for eternity. Splashing down into a jungle setting, there were gray spectral tigers that started on a chase. Fear arose. As they ran, their claws would tear into the ground ripping it away leaving black space. Running and running until another waterfall appears. Instead of jumping to escape from spectral fear, the manifest of an energy weapon appears and a fight ensues and the spectral animals are defeated. Then jumping into the jungle waterfall the realization hits; this running and jumping is neural transmitters racing on a neural pathway. Falling back down into the first forest waterfall from the jungle waterfall, there is a reflective pool of water. It is loud and thunderous because of the waterfall. The reflection brings confidence, wisdom, and serenity. you find out by finding out |

Just out of curiosity...how do I 'feel' aether? The engravings translate to "This space intentionally left blank." The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script, rarely used today. It seems to be a philippic against small insects, absent-mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects. The gate is open; through it you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard. The way through the gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass. |

Azeratel Axo User ID: 37789886 Canada 04/20/2013 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Perhaps they are all out celebrating the 4:20 day Have you heard the tradition behind this? A widely discussed story says that a group of teenagers in San Rafael, California, calling themselves the Waldos, because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school", used the term in connection to a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about. Quoting: [link to en.wikipedia.org] The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". Multiple failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a codeword that the teens used to mean pot-smoking in general. Mike Edison says that Steve Hager of High Times was responsible for taking the story about the Waldos to "mind-bogling, cult like extremes" and "suppressing" all other stories about the origination of the term. Hager wrote "Are You Stoner Smart or Stoner Stupid?" in which he called for 4:20 p.m. to be the socially accepted hour of the day to consume cannabis. He attributes the early spread of the phrase to Grateful Dead followers, who were also linked to the city of San Rafael. April 20 observances April 20 has evolved into a counterculture holiday in North America, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis. Some events have a political nature to them, advocating for the legalization of cannabis. North American observances have been held in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park near the Haight-Ashbury district, the University of Colorado's Boulder campus, Ottawa, Ontario, at Parliament Hill and Major's Hill Park, Montréal, Québec at Mount Royal monument, as well as Vancouver, British Columbia at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The growing size of the unofficial event at UC Santa Cruz caused the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs to send an e-mail to parents in 2009, which stated in part "The growth in scale of this activity has become a concern for both the University and surrounding community." Events have also occurred in Auckland, New Zealand at the Daktory. and Dunedin, New Zealand, at University of Otago. |
