If my tongue does not get cut out again while watching the action go down, I will be sure to tell you...lol Yes. No doubt. I have had to put the movie on pause more than a few times. Fuck me running would be appropriate to say at the moment about the tongue thing. That makes so much more sense.

The process of Sublimation in relation to the sinkholes. How this changes the earth, but the unseen layers, deeper strata. How we only see it when we see the actual sink hole on a video camera or TV, through imagery, and so forth. When I was thinking of this I envisioned the painting that depicts the oracle that is sitting on the three-legged stole that sits over a crack in the ground with gasses coming up. Sublimation isthe process of a solid (ice) changing directly into a gas (water vapor), or water vapor changing directly into ice, at the same temperature, without ever going through the liquid state.

Quoting: Seer777 The Pythia exists entirely as an entity within herself, seated atop a bronze tripod as she inhales Gaia’s breath. Quoting: Chapter 4 I Hear the One Unspeaking: The Pythia... More than the temple and tripod, it was the very stuff of the earth at Delphi that tied her to the land and helped to bestow her oracular authority. According to Epiphanius, the world began as a cosmic egg, encircled by Time and Inevitability (most likely Chronos and Ananke) in serpent fashion. Together they constricted the egg, squeezing its matter with great force, until the world divided into two hemispheres. After that, the atoms sorted themselves out. The lighter and finer ones floated above and became the Bright Air (Aether and/or Ouranos) and the rarefied Wind (Chaos), while the heavier and dirtier atoms sank and became the Earth (Gaia) and the Ocean (Pontos and/or Oceanus). Quoting: Orphic HymnsAs noted in Chapter 4, the Pythia oracles were centered in breathing in Gaia. The Orphic Hymns quote provides the temples views on the elements. This views also related to Pythagorean views of the elements: The pentagram (five-pointed star) was an important religious symbol used by the Pythagoreans, which is often seen as being related to the elements theorized by Empedocles to comprise all matter.
