This rings so true to me. I've always found my speech to be too raw and real, people are not able to handle it. Thank goodness you tell it like it is. Appreciate the truth barrier!

She is wonderful. Bummer about the little Marantz - i remember those well. Bit of an aside, but I met Pete in 1993 also! We had a nice chat. The guitar he signed is still one of my faves. The story, the journey and the feeling is what mattered. If you are so inclined: https://www.kingtone.com/how-i-met-pete-townshend-part-i/

thank you for taking the time to read it. I re-read it myself last night and it still does. made me nostalgic for the more analog time it covers.

SYNCHRONIZING THE SENSES

At the Chicago World’s Fair in 1932, the US Marines competed with the Radio City Rockettes in precision marching. As the Marines’ heels came down, the Rockettes’ toes went up. All movements were synchronized.

When literate man dances, he keeps step to the music. His marching bands have drum majors; his orchestras, conductors. Every player is synchronized to single beat.

In West Africa, every player has his own downbeat. There may be as many as five simultaneous rhythms—the melody & four percussion parts. Three rhythms are widely common in pre-literate music: melody, handclapping, & tapping the feet. The individual performs all three simultaneously, though not in synchronization. The combined result is neither chaos nor conformity, but complex pattern of interweaving rhythms, each with its own integrity!

Synchronizing the Senses means one Sense dominates all others. Under literacy, that sense is Sight. Other senses are muted or used with the bias of the Eye. Sight has a natural bias toward detachment, creating the detached observer, whereas Sound has an opposite bias; it surrounds, involves…one steps into it…

Literate people experience Sound as if it were visible; they listen ‘to’ music. Non-literate people MERGE with Music. Far from being detached, they become involved participants, immersing themselves totally in it...

From the screen cap: “This tension burns all that is false.”

I love it.

Okay, you sold me. I just splurged on three audiobooks by Svetlana. Now to find time to listen to them …

If you can't tell a story through (usually false and lying) journalism, song lyrics will tell it. Look for and listen to this sad and beautiful song talking of WWII: Listen to this wonderful song by British singer, Martin Page, called The Door. Make sure you listen and have the lyrics in front of you while you listen. I wonder how Hannah, in the song, would now feel about the US if she was a real person. I know how I feel.

This is beautiful. To listen. To be heard....and real photographs, developed in the darkroom by hand, no manipulation. To see. To record a true moment. Beautiful. Thank you.

Back then, you met your “sources” (who were really so much more) face to face. You recorded the conversation, you transcribed it carefully, then you put those voices, unedited, on the page.

Yes, yes, you did. When I took a semester of Journalism in High School, the instructor was always emphasizing, "Talk to your source, invite them for coffee, share a meal with them, and listen to them." I interviewed my Grand-Uncle, (My grandfathers brother) who had flown bombers in World War Two. He described the planes, the bombs, the barracks. He told me what they did on their off time, about the USO dances, and about the five hours of sheer horror that they went through every time they flew over Germany and dropped bombs.

I wish I still had that cassette tape. I could put it on Youtube and let other people hear the emotion in his voice.

Oh gosh, yes, absolutely. I have written something very similar to your thoughts on my office wall! All the voices are a cohesion, a glimpse of truth, a flock of birds.

I just this afternoon saw the movie "The Whale", which fits right into the theme of this post. It was up there with the best films I've ever seen.

Biophotons as Subtle Energy Carriers

In the tangible domain, two subtle energy carriers come to mind: biophotons and

bioelectrons. Biophotons are photons (light particles) that are generated

within the body, and these could be measured as they emanate from the skin.

Similarly, bioelectrons are available from within the body; these are measured in instruments such as

electro-photonic imaging. This aspect will be taken in a later presentation.

Making an Energy Ball - SATURDAY

• Projection of a pattern = Ball

o Generate energy for the projection

o Begin the Flow of energy into the projection

o Balance the energy around the projection

• Begin to generate the field

• Stabilize by adjusting the energy

• Flux field into a different projection, which changes the pattern

Balancing Chakras – center and focus/har alein

Subtle Bodies or 4 layer clearing (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual ongoing)

One on one field theory – near another body field theory (near field effect in RF)

Group field

Phasing in and out (walking physically near until your biofield picks up on the body)

Partner to partner energy ball exchange

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IEEE 802.15.4 and the NIH since 2015 & 1924 measuring

the human bio electric field at its scalar levels as well as the whole of the electrical field of the

human body to regard the full electrical homeostasis of an organism in preparation for

morphology and transhumanism.
