Philosopher's Stone


Watched Dirty Jobs...How things are Made...and now Some Assembly Required...it's noted sometime by the Fine Arts that there is "art" in the industrial world too...and it's so...but since it's so common place and so commonly seen...it doesn't get much play...though these shows seem to have found an audience!!


A lot of carry over thoughts today from yesterday and the Ages of Man...but first some doing about the Cayman Island's and wiki's whistle blower site...brb...


"cayman wikipedia whistle" brings it all up...but it's a dust up unrelated it seems to any Pakistani doings in the Cayman banks...which is where I was in the earlier post...




wonder if the whistlers have a search tool?..brb...well...I'm a little hesitant to visit...to avoid a total dissappearance wikileaks just altered it's address in various ways...


but on to another thought...thought to track down the angels and angles...well...this isn't it...but a "list of errors" may be a good thing to have handy!!


quote


People who want to write about winged beings from Heaven often miscall them “angles.” A triangle has three angles. The Heavenly Host is made of angels. Just remember the adjectival form: “angelic.” If you pronounce it aloud you’ll be reminded that the E comes before the L.
List of errors

Oh...now Myth Busters...mind control...


There's a movie Angels with Angles...and a song...Angels and Angles...oh..and this:


quote


The Angles are the subject of a legend about Pope Gregory I which apparently has roots in history. Gregory happened to see a group of Angle children from Deira for sale as slaves in the Roman market. Struck by the beauty of their fair-skinned complexions and bright blue eyes, Gregory inquired about their background. When told they were Angles, he replied with a Latin pun that translates well into English: “Non Angli, sed angeli” ("Not Angles, but angels"). Supposedly, he thereafter resolved to convert their pagan homeland to Christianity.[citation needed]

but still not what I was looking for!!..brb...but this is in the vein...


quote


David Fideler has shown better than any other scholar in the field how the Solar qualities of Jesus were equated with the Early Christians, and exactly how those solar qualities of Jesus were also tied into the Greek ideas as well. Gematrically, it is an amazing correlation, as it is supposed to be. Instead of thinking that this is merely made up by man for the simple mental exercise of it, or that the ancients were merely showing off, John Michell has noted that the incredible correlations with geometric proportions in the New Jerusalem of the Revelation of John, and Stonehenge thousands of years earlier, and the Chapel at Glastonbury in England, as well as the Divine City of Plato’s Republic (!), "The essential feature of the legend of the New Jerusalem is that the City is not a creation of the intellect, but a revelation of the pre-existent order…"19 It is because we have not understood the ancient paradigms of cosmological reality that we have pooh poohed their accomplishments as mere coincidence, or a gentle nod with a condescending "Oh that’s nice." It’s not just "nice," it is the eternal order of things as understood with the laws of geometric proportions. We have done well with quantifying math for our own business purposes, but fail to realize that the ancients also thought of geometric proportions as qualities of the deities, because they are eternal laws which anyone can discover or learn for themselves. Let me show you yet another example geometrically what I am saying.

That site's about Honi the Circle Drawer!...but...brb...well..it's back there somewhere...and I think it might be Robert Lawlor, Sacred Geometry...angels are angles!


and I came home with this month's Scientific American to try and further the thought...fat chance!...brb...




I think a good definition...by good I mean one I can follow!...of the "Standard Model"...has something I've been thinking on..brb...


quote


The guiding principle of the Standard Model is that its equations are symmetrical. Just as a sphere looks the same whatever your viewing angle is, the equations remain unchanged even when you change the perspective from which they are defined. Moreover, they remain unchanged even when the perspective shifts by different amounts at different points in space and time.

Well..the magazine is on line...and that't the passage I was thinking about...and it reminded me about how Species are so defined..."symetrical"...describe one individual and you have the behaviour of the whole species...and in the case of the Grey Whales..a reach back of thirty million years...oh...but I'll come back to this another time...


the thoughts I was having today were of Daniel's, Ovid's. Hesiod's, and Plato's...metal men...or in Daniel's case...man...I think back then that these metals were seen as metaphors for human virtues..that there were other meanings too...Ages...and Daniel's...I forget...rise and fall of the Nation of Israel...or fall and rise...brb...


quote


In his Alchemical Catechism, Paracelsus clearly denotes that his usage of the metals was a symbol:
Q. When the Philosophers speak of gold and silver, from which they extract their matter, are we to suppose that they refer to the vulgar gold and silver? A. By no means; vulgar silver and gold are dead, while those of the Philosophers are full of life.[3]

brb....this belongs with an earlier post!


quote


Paracelsus, sometimes called the father of toxicology, wrote:
German: Alle Ding sind Gift, und nichts ohn Gift; allein die Dosis macht, daß ein Ding kein Gift ist.
"All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."
That is to say, substances often considered toxic can be benign or beneficial in small doses, and conversely an ordinarily benign substance like water can be deadly if over-consumed.[4]

Well...what I started with here is the notion that the gold silver and bronze Ages of Man expressed the relation to Nature of each age...Plato expands the thought with his metal men..virtuous in a descending order from Gold....and I have the thought that Nature is Gold...that the animals are in a golden environment...harmonious might be the word...and with Humanity there is a descent from this Harmony...which was finely expressed in Opus last Sunday!...brb..




In it Opus is found unconscious in a dark bare room, with an electric guitar..by his friends...he's over done it with "guitar hero"..and they take him out to the Meadow...and is revived by fresh air...dont know what CG is...brb...and I still dont know what "smok'n sweet CG"...is after a search!...though the context...Opus breathing in deep the air of the Meadow...kinda explains it...I guess...sigh...too many mysteries!!


Is the "Philsopher's Stone" a ...


quote


But to particle physicists interested in pure science rather than potential technological spinoffs or economic and political benefits, the supercollider has a special quality. It is seen as a kind of Philosopher's Stone, a key to at least partial understanding of the ultimate basis of existence.


....

If the energy in a supercollider fireball is great enough, physicists hope to detect ripples in a hypothetical all-pervading medium they call the "Higgs Field," a field they compare with the familiar electromagnetic field. Just as photons cause ripples in the electromagnetic field, the passage of predicted supermassive particles called Higgs bosons would cause ripples in the Higgs Field, which may be detectable by the supercollider.
The Higgs Field, theorists speculate, interacts with material objects in such a way as to give them mass..




unqutoe


a Higgs Boson...or Higgs Field!...


ah!...the Meadow...
