We Hold These Truths To Be Obvious

if you heard a real teacher point to them 

and you are 'remembering the work:'

for anything to happen (splat of a rain drop or acceptance speech)

THREE forces are involved.

the Creative flow

the Destructive flow

and the

Unexpected, flow.

Nothing happens without all three (Jan hinted at a larger number, but did not elaborate to my knowledge.)

Which makes a sense of duty to One, any one---

Somme sums

From a write up about the anniversary remembrances in Europe of the Battle of the Somme:

In Britain, this [the start of the attack] was commemorated by two-minutes of silence which was broken at the same time when British officers led their men over the top.
Charles Pinele, 68, is the grandson of a British officer who led his men in the Cheshires. Pinele spoke about that day many years ago, saying:
"Six officers went out. Only two came back. He did not talk about it."...

...[Another interviewee's]  great uncle was a coal miner from Bedlington, Northumberland, who fought with The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Dunlop said: "His name does not appear on the memorial in Bedlington. We think his mother hoped he would come back.

"Many mothers wouldn't let their sons' names go on memorials. They hoped they would come home. He never did."

Somme sums can be about not concluding, Not concluding, not drawing a line and writing a summation: this is kind of like "remembering the Work." Not...concluding....

Binary divisions are always suspicious

That old saw about how can you tell the difference between your dreaming state and your awake one, misses an relevant point.  Maybe in both states, the subject is mainly credulous about what is unfolding,

An Edge of Ordinary

Expanding on the question of the purpose of this settlement where T shaped monoliths were later buried in debris, forming the hill as we see it now----It is lovely if unlikely to wonder if the T shaped columns were meant to represent the idea of form, and the debris, matter. Their joint relation then an attempt to understand how man comprehends his world.  Put another way perhaps men were then struggling to grasp the fact of consciousness and how it appears in a solid world.

"Baby alien worlds are indeed likely slicing gaps in the disk of dust and gas swirling around the young star HL Tauri — a finding that could help reshape scientists' current understanding of how planets form.
Astronomers found that some of the rings in the disk's gaseous component line up with rings in the dust, further supporting the theory that exoplanets are coalescing there — and suggesting that alien worlds may form much more quickly than scientists had thought.
"To our surprise, these gaps in the gas overlap with dust gaps," lead author Hsi-Wei Yen, a researcher at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taiwan, said in a statement. "This supports the idea that the gaps are the footprints left by baby planets. Our results indicate that planets start to form much earlier than we expected."


Baby?
Alien?

from gaps....?

I Read the News Today, oh....

A headline this Sunday morning, from the Nautilus blog

NEUROSCIENCE The Wisdom of the Aging Brain Tantalizing evidence suggests that brain activity shifts to increase wisdom as we age. BY ANIL ANANTHASWAMY

It may be an interesting read, but what the headline reminded me of was a point Jan Cox made decades ago.

The "wisdom" of the aged, touted by them, and spoken of by other generations, is merely this: that one's hormones have died.

Obvious

Invisible

Easy to say and see.

But to remember,,, 

ah....
