Good morning, all. (((((Vic))))) Just because we all knew this day was coming, that doesn't make it any easier to take. I won't throw you a pity party, but I want you to know that I will never quit thinking about you, and I will never quit hoping things get better for you and your family. You'll be a part of my life until the day I die, whether you're able to post or not. (((((Vic)))))

Great Story!

~~~רוח

After my eyes were weary from editing photo's yesterday, I took a meal break, and watched a couple episodes of FRINGE, season 4 on DVD.

There was a story line, that made me think of some of the hypothesis, we have recently discussed here on PLU. 

In this episode, there was a teenage boy, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and was residing in a mental hospital.  He was hearing voices, regarding a murder that had actually occured.  Come to find out, these "voices" he had been hearing for years, were not hallucinatory--a figment of his imagination, but were mental telepathy.  They came from his half siblings, who were products of genetic manipulation, by a doctor, who had a less than credible sperm bank--they were all sperm donor babies. 

The alterations in their DNA, performed prior to fertilization, had enabled all these children to be aware of all the other children, born to diverse parents, and werre connected mentally, like bee's in a hive. 

The reasons for the murder, had to do with protecting themselves, from discovery, as a journalist was investigating the "real" research being conducted by the doctor years earlier, at this fertility clinic.

Wierd huh?  Almost as if the writers of this series, were eavesdropping on PLU discussions?

 Grace, those flowers are so pretty!

 

Thank you, {{{{{Headmistress}}}}}

I hope *you* are finding that perfect place of rest and peace in the chaos of the world.

MNjoy, do you think those drawn to sperm banking have a higher propensity towards evil?

What fantastic opportunity for the gd if that's true!

Have is there a 'get a grip or good grip' angle to making money hand over fist?

~~~anywho~~~

*I* have been 'lead' to a New Year's resolution this year.

What a blessing.

I do not remember the last year I felt "lead". (???)

I have need of the PLU though as I am lacking again in "understanding".  The resolution requires wine and *I* know nothing of alcohol.  I was hoping , perhaps Burns would give me a suggestion?  Or if anyone else feels a "call" I would love to hear your thoughts!

  I will need 3 bottles that I can buy online.  (one to try immediately. One for the actual ceremony. one in case a friend comes by and I tell them about the resolution/ceremony)

I will actually need to do this four times total so 3 more bottles of three (9) for a overall total of 12.

Burns it will be for one of the four Holy Days I want to make a resolution to celebrate and take time for in 2013 (...and perhaps commit to the practice for every year from now on?  I am not a fan of Hallmark-ish holidays but *I* long for Holy Days.)

I want to spend an entire day thinking about Communion the first time as I need to find my own definition and also the most beautiful definition ever written.  So I want a real wine something well chosen by one with the cognitive powers and experience to choose.  (...and real bread btw too.)  The first of the four dates will be Passover ... but if you have a wine choice that you feel strongly is better for one of the other three please let me know.

...or if anyone else has any information?

*I* know NOTHING about the spiritual properties of wine~~~

The dates will be ~~~

well the "dates change" - movable feasts ... so should I say the events? will be?

I bet their is some "Catholic speak" that has a word that is interchangeable with "moveable feasts".

Have I mentioned *I* LVE the Catholics!

(...and this Pope Benedict born on Easter Saturday!)

1) PASSOVER -  The Lord's Supper

Luke 2:40-41 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and
the grace of God was upon him.

2) PENTECOST -  Holy Spirit

Acts 2:1-4

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place.

3) FEAST OF TABERNACLES (Feast of the Ingathering) - Thanksgiving

John 7:37-38

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

4) DAY Of ATONEMENT - restoration, reconciliation to the divine Cleansing through the blood of Jesus Christ

Burns, if nothing comes to you that's fine.  You were just one of the four people that came to mind to ask.

okay next subject -

*I* was in to this 'shiny thing' about the word logos.  Or word. search search search / word word word

...in the beginning was the "word"

...the "word" made flesh

...sperm words (and all ... you got the idea)

...and during the enlightening search around the internet I came upon this pretty design with a 417 in the "First Logos" position?

I assume the numbers always are changed around?

...but this is a 417 version

...but what was so cool was that the "sister numbers" were MissMN's 614!

aaaaawwwwweeeeeeeeee .... so  perfect.

adrienne ... I want to see realism too!

Please

Please

We want to see pictures of the tree!

I have no happy Christmas stories.

I have stories of course ...

...but while some are funny? few are "happy"!

*I* NEED your tree, adrienne!

Oh here's the picture for MNnumber

...sending Joy to all of the {{{PeacefulPeople}}}}

It's Classic Joke Tuesday!

Why didn't the snow come to the party?

Because they were all a bunch of flakes. 

Grace, it sounds like you're going to want red wine, and I don't know much about that, plus I'm not Burns. But I can tell you that wine is one of those things where the quality really does go up with the price. If Burns doesn't see your post, just buy a fairly expensive wine and you'll be fine.

...ahhhhhhh

 

oops?

 

Do we have any ability to control the size of pictures?

 

Moon ... here's a link to that chart with our "sister numbers".

 

http://hpb.narod.ru/StudiesInRayCorresp.htm

 

I don't know why it got so big it couldn't fit here?

 

 

Really fascinating link TempestGrace.  opme of those premises, so explained have not quite sunk in yet.  My brilliant mind may be low on fuel.   Perhaps, you can explain it to me like I'm a four-year old?    

I understand what they are expressing, is that each and every one of us, contains the cosmic seed within us, though every soul is unique, in how they express themselves, or the essence of "their rays"  as that evolutionary co-creator. 

In this story line from FRINGE, the doctor, was not evil, per se. However, as any scientist is prone to do, he was fascinated by his own idea of what "could" be accomplished, by tampering with the genetic code. And the temptation to test his theories, led him to implant these "experiments" into a host mother to grow.   He admits, that he was touched by Hubris, in that he thought he could improve humans with these alterations.  His intent was to unlock the prior abilities, that humans once possessed, but had evolved out of--instinctual traits like in the animal kingdom.  He only learned of his unintended consequences, after the fact.  i.e. the children exhibited violent tendencies, in their efforts at protecting themselves against a perceived threat.  The first time it occured, he had been suspicious.  When the FBI showed up to question him, he presumed it was indeed his "offspring" which were to blame.  He was himself also murdered, by these children acting upon their animalistic instinct for survival.

I cannot offer you any wine recommendations either your Grace.  I have always been more prone to indulge in my tobacco.  Thus, I am no connoiser of alcohol.  Not ever inclined to spend my money on fine wine.  I'm perfectly content with boxed Franzia.    Though it has been a couple years now, since I had wine.  The last time was when my girlfriend and I went out to Macaroni Grill, and I enjoyed wine with my meal.  

Though I really do appreciate fine liquors.  I love Kalua, and Frangelico, which is a hazelnut liquor, made by Monks.  It even comes in a cute little monk bottle.  One of my favorite desserts used to be vanilla ice cream, with Frangelico on top. 

Oh yeah, and check your email.

My "real e-mail"? 

 

OK

 

MN, I didn't study much of the link having been lead there only searching for the term "first logos" or logos meaning "word" and when it coincidentally showed 417 as "first logos" I immediately thought (as you so recently wrote) that the universe (or at least some computer guy) was mocking me.

 

....but I was quite delighted that the 614 was right next to the 417.

 

Not every birth-date on the calendar is represented as there's no 8,9, or 0 Only a few of the dates Jan.-July.

 

I wondered if a clock could be made where the numbers weren't sequential and the hour hand swung around crazy?  HA 

 

I haven't heard of Frangelico MN but I will get some post haste.  It's like other alcohol and doesn't go bad, right?

 

I want to have some on hand for you or for when I want to think of you.

 

of course.

HA!

of course I want that.

must have THAT!

 

...liquor as decor.

...I should get some cigars too.

legal please!

 

Can you buy and ship cigars online?  Surely. (??)

Do you have a cigar suggestion?

 

The dollhouse was loaded with ashtrays.

...and shot glasses ...

 

...and lots and lots of Dean Martin.

  

Ahhh I see your Grace.  You locked your eyes upon the syncronisity of 417, and didn't read, what the diagram referred to?

Well, no, all dates would not be represented, on that diagram, since those numbers are related to the "rays."

As excerpted:

There is but One Truth throughout the universe, eternally underlying all and that Truth manifests itself over and over again in larger and smaller cycles, having the same factors and the same ordered sequence which repeat themselves in every mode of existence. Hence occultism teaches that the Microcosm is built in the image of the Macrocosm, that man is a miniature universe, and an atom a miniature planet. The study of The Secret Doctrine by the use of this key of correspondences consists in working out the correct sequence for each different set of factors and relating them to each other for the purpose of enlightenment.

These factors, such as the different numbers, colours, musical notes, days, planes, etc., are directly connected with the Rays, so that this study really consists of classifying a vast number of facts under the heading of Rays and then examining their relationships.

The Rays have their derivation in the Trinity, and it is essential to have some understanding of the relation between the Aspects of the Trinity in order to grasp the significance of the correspondences between the Rays.

I had just returned from my walk, on this brisk 51 degree day, and instead of eating, I got on the computer.   I had no hunger pangs, but my lack of concentration assured me it was time to eat.  As my Brit Mum would say, I got "peckish." 

I presumed incorrectly, that I would have sent you the email, by the time you got around to actually reading my note.  Mocking....I tell ya.     Look again, at your messages here on eBay forums.  It should really be there now. 

Cigars are even more costly than fine wine.   I've never purchased them myself. My cigar indulgences have always come by way of gifts. 

Oh, liquors usually have a much lower alcohol content than other spirits.  So, if you are an inexperienced drinker, I think some Frangelico would be a fine introduction for a beginner, to actually drink, instead of shelve.   That way you won't feel reckless, about decorating with the cute bottle. The liquor  is warm, nutty and sweet.  Kinda like you! 

And if you are feeling particurly ambitious, you could even cook with it.   It goes as well with chocolate, as it does with vanilla.

I may never catch up here! Life sucks or blows but we are going on.

Adrienne, I am fxing to fire that plaque for Butterball. If I don't hear different from you in the next little while, it will be brown color wash. If I hear back before I start the kiln I can make it dang near any color in the rainbow. You can PM your new snail mail later - just send me a color! I'm not glazing, just coloring in the recesses, if that makes sense.

Hi all, frantically busy trying to get ready for the big sale here on Saturday! Lots of small orders trickling in, and I had to resupply some bird feeders to the consignment sale already

And they are being bought to hold rings next to the sink, and air plants as well.

Driving thru. Back later!

Is the morale improving around here yet?

And it's been in the 70's here everyday so I don't see that coming!

 

Awww Burnsie; you poor unfortunate soul!  lol

Perhaps you'd like to come up here where it's only 3 degrees with the windchill knocking it down to 3 below!

Mis - thanks but no thanks. You wanna come down here?

Is the morale improving around here yet?

((((Lucky)))) Just talking with Sally and Betty (that's their name) lifted my spirits for sure. We chit chatted for a bit this evening.

How have y'all been? Sure hope your back is better. I'm bet hubby wrist is better now.

I also like watching Fringe. I watch it online.

((((Burns)))) That's great that your sales are picking up.

I agree, I don't see a upside to what your hubby is having to put with. I be madder than a hornet. What that new boss is doing isn't right, It isn't right at all.

The doctor gave me a list of chiropractor I can go to. It's just a matter of calling and making an appointment. It slip my mind, I been busy.

((((Adrienne)))) Busy Bee, Hope all is well with you and your family. 

The weather was just wonderful today, just wonderful. 

Never explain - Your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Hotlanta, Mis! Me & Scarlet both! She just called & said she has her computer working again so she will be back!

 

Ardienne, brown it is!

That is great news Burnsville

Would be nice to have Scarlet posting here again.  And where the heck is Pins?  Is she having mad sales too?  Too busy creating, to visit with us?

I was reviewing pics on my camera disk yesterday.  I found a photo I took of my clay project, I mentioned before,  The handmade polymer clay tiles.  It gave me the opportunity to experiment with many different texture techniques, and clay treatments.  Artisan's are sometimes caught up in that "mad scientist" frenzy, in testing their theories too.    Fortunately, no sentient being's are negatively affected in these fits of artistic co-creating.

The wood tray needs to be painted.  And the tiles glued down and sealed.  But here is the one with the oriental flavor.  It has dragons, chinese coins, chinese characters. Gold leaf inclusions, marbling, pearl mica "paint" powders.  I have not played with my clay for some years now.   

Adrienne  talking about her christmas tree, reminded me, how much I loved decorating my tree.  Though I have refrained from holiday decorating for several years now too.    As putting the tree up, means that I also need to take the tree down.   I'm supposed to be focusing on getting my abode in order, not creating more tasks, on my to-do list.  I really must exercise discipline, with my tendency to lose myself in shiny things.
