Lol that says something about my chemistry level. Farting fire Ice and making the Fantastic Four the Fantastic Five would be awesome though.

Actually it is not funny at all. Experiencing the reality of the sinkholes would be terrifying. That unknown element until you see it in such a form of watching the ground beneath your feet turn to a puddle of toxic sludge.

Already I found some good stuff Luna! lol

From this notion arises the idea of being inhabited by a deity. The Greeks termed
this state of bodily inspiration enthousiasmos,” literally “in-godness,”
the inhabitation of a god. The usage of this term implies the physical presence of a
god ,

which takes place “inside The “inside” in this case is the body of the prophetess.

Prophecy is a physical experience. It happens upon and within the body.
Both divine and human identities are contained within the prophetess’ body—and
because they both inhabit the same space, the prophetess’ body becomes a contested
space, a battleground. The battle waged is not just for control of the body, or even the
life of the prophetess—it is for her very identity, and its right to exist unencumbered in
her body.

I find it truly amusing when people will make blanket statements such as the ones in bold here.

You assume far to much. And your perception belongs to you. It would be wise to remember that.


Easily avoided with the the qualifier "I believe that..."

Perhaps you should provide more evidence other than you word.

I woke up today reflecting on the sinkholes. 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.

They were the avatars, the Sybils who supported the elder goddess queens and god kings, fed them, guided them to the otherworld and, in the embrace of death, empowered their beings with the integrity that gives birth to vision and wisdom: the wholeness that is sovereignty over self and consequently sovereignty over all things.

 Quoting: Chapter 4 I Hear the One Unspeaking: The Pythia


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 Hymns


As 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.
