That was easy enough. You got up, fed the cats, sat down, and wrote a short note on a stick-um. Went out for the paper and delivered the neighbor’s. Came back, sat on the front porch thinking “A wheel within a wheel, big one is run by faith and the little one is run by the Grace of G---D.” Came in and began writing and you finished scene ten with the help of Ezekiel.
Is this legal, and more important, is it ethical to modify and use Biblical verse?
You used Coleridge without much thought.
This is different. Some consider the text very sacred. I do not wish to offend.
You are too polite here orndorff. People have connected the verses with UFO’s for goodness sake. Lots of interpretations. Scene eleven will be a compliment to scene ten. Who are we to offend, dear boy? Post this and we move on to the next scene. – Amorella.
Scene 10
The big wheel run by faith and the little wheel run by the Grace of G---D. Spin. Three raindrops equal in size, snowman like, whirling one on top of the other like toy tops. Whirling, each whirling a different direction one on top of the other. Always different directions. Spinning so fast they appear to be touching which they are not. When they slow and appear to melt they become solid in a much of nothing. The dance of twelve begins. Meanwhile, back on Earth a lonely man by the name of Ezekiel looks up in the air near the river Chebar and reportedly sees:
I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. Every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colours of burnished brass. They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. They went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colours of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colours of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
There was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the colors of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

What a surprise. Who would have thought to connect Ezekiel? I don’t think it is in the right time period though, 800 BCE, but with quantum entanglement and the like it doesn’t have to be right on.
Ease your mind orndorff and check it out before your curiosity gets the better of you.
Wikipedia says the vision was the Hebrew date Tammuz 5, 3168 and the Gregorian date (BC) was 23 June 593. Plato wrote in the middle of the fourth century BCE. And, in the story Plato lived after the first Rebellion is over.
Earlier in your notes you copied: “A major problem within intentionality discourse is that participants often fail to make explicit whether or not they use the term to imply concepts such as agency or desire, i.e. whether it involves teleology.” According to Merriam-Webster ‘teleology’ is the use of design as an explanation of natural phenomenon. In an existential work such as these books in which the margins are a type of imaginary quantum energy the date is close enough. I will make this clear in the next scene for consistency’s sake. Post and take a break for breakfast and the paper as Carol has gone to breakfast with her retired teacher friends. - Amorella.
Going on late mid-morning and breakfast and the paper are done. You still have that song in your head and looked up the lyrics and found and heard a Woody Guthrie version. In listening you realized you made a mistake and that the lyrics say: “Little wheel run by faith and the big wheel run by the Grace of God.”
Here is an example of the difference between heart and mind. Your heart remembered it the other way round. Your mind sees it differently. What do you have to say to that?
I see it should be the other way. The big wheel is run by the Grace of G---D, that should come first.
In human reality this is not the case though. The human aspect must come first, it is built in for survival’s sake.
People, it seems to me, should put G---D first, that is if G---D exists. In the grand scheme of things G---D is first.
Is it your intention to move G---D first, boy?
In this context certainly that is not the case. G---D is where G---D is. I have no such intention.
Do you see a lesson here, boy? You are human first. Do you understand that, boy?
In terms of numbers, such as one and two and so forth, the count is human. In terms of G---D, out of respect, there are no numbers. You can’t have G---D in any analogous condition with humankind. At least not in these notes and books. I do understand, although I don’t believe I am expressing myself clearly enough here.
Leave the words the way you wrote them. – If anyone asks, say it is human error, and then think of the greater intention and be relieved that you made it. Post. – Amorella.
Carol arrived home from breakfast and is heading out to give her quarterly blood donation. After that, lunch out. Relax. Catch up on your shows or read the newest Discover lying on the floor beside you. – Be cool, old man, Amorella.
You just finished the “Interview of Shing-Tung Yau” on page 66, in the June, 2010 Discover. I would like to you copy down two short passages.
“[Question] Some of the higher-dimensional spaces now called Calabi-Yau spaces proved fundamental to string theory. What is the connection?
[Response] . . . Physicists found new particles and needed extra dimensions for the strong force and the weak force. When they worked it all out, they determined they could explain the universe with something they called string-theory, which replaces the point-like particles in particle physics with tiny elongated vibrating strings. To be consistent with quantum theory, the strings needed 10 dimensions in which to vibrate: three of space, one of time, and six dimensions of ‘compact space’. Dimensions in compact space are so small you can’t detect them through any conceivable experiment. They amount to pure structure. It so happens that Calabi-Yau spaces with six dimensions also have specific topological traits corresponding to the requirements of string theory.” [p. 72]
And,
“[Question] “How many Calabi-Yau spaces are there?
[Response] . . . Philip Candelas at the University of Texas at Austin found up to 10,000 Calabi-Yau spaces, with almost half of them mirror partners of each other. Each member of a pair is topologically distinct but still conforms to the other algebraically and gives rise to the same forces, the same particles, the same rules. The resulting geometric structure can be used to determine physical quantities with each space, like particle mass.” [p. 76]
What I will use from the above will fictionalize the suggested method in which Ezekiel made the observation in the sky of the dance of the shamans above the water. I see humor in this in that the words, you see, are strung along in their own seemingly serendipitous patterns of notes and scenes. Carol just arrived, time for lunch.
It is notes like these that blow me into next week. Such gallows humor should not be allowed, but the humor is deeply and intensely funny personally. – rho
Getting on time for the national news. Several errands were run this afternoon and you found you had about seventy former students just request friendship on Facebook. So, you have been busy.
It is just wonderful hearing from so many former students. I don’t know what to say. I feel really blessed because of my profession. I loved teaching.
A bit about scene eleven. We will backtrack and show what is actually happening at the dance on the water that compliments what Ezekiel is actually witnessing. We will take the sentences as the in scene ten to avoid confusion, and after each show what is happening from viewing from Aeneas and Mario’s perspectives as interlopers, not the shamans themselves. Let’s run through an example here.
Mario and Aeneas sat beside the River Styx and watched as Takis moved whirling his incorporate body clockwise, to the center of the now circle of eleven.
If alive, Takis would be very dizzy, suggested Mario as Takis centered himself in the circle.
His head more slowly follows his torso’s faster spin while his hips and legs and feet appear to move counter-clockwise at the proportioned slower spin of his head. It makes me ill to even consider the view, replied Aeneas.
The spin must provide lift, observed Mario, it is as a whirlwind moving clockwise and counter-clockwise both at once. His torso becomes as a light, a single beam turning on and off as it spins.
The light is coming from the chest not the spine, the back. It is not turning on and off. The light is, then it isn’t. His front half is making its own light. A beacon turning off and on, that’s what it appears, but it isn’t. His torso is as a chest of day and a spine of night.
The legs and head glow each mirroring the same color, pulsing violet to blue to green to yellow to orange to red to black to violet to blue to green to yellow to orange to red and so forth. The chest stays white the spine stays black.
I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. (Ezekiel)
This gives you the idea. All for tonight. Post. – Amorella.
