Six after noon to be precise, local time. The cats got you up at four-thirty. The refrigerator was delivered after eight, and you were back in bed by ten for a two hour nap.
Lower back problems after sleep. Took a hot bath with jets and bubbles but it didn’t help as it usually does. Better after the nap. Always chances of one ache or another. Feeling better though. We have errands and chores today. Need to get acclimated to the day.
Another benefit of retirement orndorff. When you are not feeling well or are tired you can go back to bed. Sleep does wonders for aches and pains. Later, dude. – Amorella.
I wonder how many older people in the world welcome death for no more than a good night’s sleep?
Good question. > Mid-afternoon. You have been working in the yard after errands and still have a few more to run. New shade plants and wildflower seeds for the area where several ash trees close to the house were cut down last year.
I enjoy this time of the year. I don’t work in the yard as much as when younger but it is good to sit out amongst the trees while they are being touched by a pleasant southerly breeze. Summer is too hot and with the run at the bottom of the gully there are mosquitoes. It is still rustic and summer private. Life is good.
While beginning scene 11 after supper I was thinking about the top and decided to check on the physics. This is a response to the physics of a spinning toy top from ‘Tim’ a mechanical engineer writing to kirupa.com.
I think basically you have three different angular events happening. "Angular" meaning that things are rotating about some axis. The first and most obvious is the spin of the top that everyone thinks of when they think of a top. The axis there is the line that goes vertically through the center of the top.
The top will also "wobble" at least a little, and this is rotation about some axis that, I believe, passes vertically through the surface that the top spins on but is not coincident with the axis of spin. This wobble is called "precession." You can look up precession on, say, Wikipedia, and you'll find that it is what causes Earth to experience seasons by bringing first the northern hemisphere closer to the sun, and then the southern hemisphere.
The third angular event I believe would only occur in a non-perfectly weighted top. It would cause the top's rotation to actually rotate itself, meaning that the actual axis of spin moves in a circle as you look from above. This is called "notation," and it occurs also on Earth because tides create differences in weight distribution about its axis.

Of course this doesn’t pertain to the ‘metaphysics’ as this is a nonphysical ‘body’ in a spin and thus it has no gravity. So, perhaps this is useless information here. It does bring up the question though: does the heartansoulanmind[in the books] have an axis? I keep thinking of three small crystal-like globes, one stacked on top of the other, not touching, and each spinning independently of the other.
Heartansoulanmind are not physical and thus, by definition, cannot touch. The ‘spinning’ is caused by the independent ‘will’ of each ‘element’. For simplification in the books, let’s say it is the relative speed of the spin that is important- to open the pathway to all three at once the ‘combination’ of speeds had to be optimal. This is no easy task, controlling the spin of each. The ‘hit’ is similar to the jackpot on a one armed bandit. Amorella.
Wow. Using the mind is easy enough to perceive but the heart is so irregular, both enthusiastic and stubborn, courageous and fearful, that I cannot imagine such control. The soul? How can one control the will of the soul?
Let’s make the soul the easy one, orndorff. Remember Obi-Wan Kenobi’s line, “Let go, Luke”?
The soul ‘understands’ the combination.
Yes, the soul is the center. Mind on top, heart on the bottom, thus the distortion when it comes to ‘viewing’ the heart. – Amorella.
You have been out and about and are re-stopping at Kroger because the Cat food (same brand, etc) is four dollars cheaper at Walmart.
We are on our way to the bank and Graeter’s in West Chester, the one in Deerfield is packed with a tour bus. Gas at Kroger’s was cheaper, $2.65 minus a tenth of a cent. > Home, and satisfied with the day. I thought of another question, why do the three elements spin in different directions if speed is the only qualifier?
The different directions are built on what is important to the personality and disposition of the individual. It takes a while to learn to go from stick shift to automatic, so to speak. Combinations are different for each individual. Memory also plays a part particularly in heart and mind. We don’t want to make this complicated orndorff, but this is a modern lesson in the ancient shamanism of the Dead, all of this is relative to the books of course.
I still like it. This part reminds me of Dante more than Milton. Actually, it is similar to Virgil too, maybe more so. But rather than adventures it is the development of events that I assume will correspond to the effort of the rebellion. These two scenes are important asides in that the Dead have to come together and the shamans seem to be the proper vehicle for the times.
One complication of explanation is that as matter, space and time do not exist so there is no Here and There. The cultural nests of the Dead are in the same body of thought, so to speak. An analogy will be needed – I am thinking of neurons in the brain. Although nerve pulses travel very fast to the human they are for all intents and purposes instantaneous consciously. Think about along those lines tonight. Post. – Amorella.
