faculty.uca.edu/rnovy/Augustine--On%20%20Time.htmFor what is time? Who can easily and briefly explain it? Who can even comprehend it in thought or put the answer into words? Yet is it not true that in conversation we refer to nothing more familiarly or knowingly than time? And surely we understand it when we speak of it; we understand it also when we hear another speak of it. What, then, is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks me, I do not know. Yet I say with confidence that I know that if nothing passed away, there would be no past time; and if nothing were still coming, there would be no future time; and if there were nothing at all, there would be no present time. But, then, how is it that there are the two times, past and future, when even the past is now no longer and the future is now not yet? But if the present were always present, and did not pass into past time, it obviously would not be time but eternity. If, then, time present--if it be time--comes into existence only because it passes into time past, how can we say that even this is, since the cause of its being is that it will cease to be? Thus, can we not truly say that time is only as it tends toward nonbeing? etscrivner.github.io/cryptocurrent/§0.0111 — Streams run downwards.[3] Engagement with Bitcoin brings us into communication with hidden inclinations, whose indicators mark productions of directionality – gradients, or temporalizations.[4] Between real succession and such abstract inclines there is no difference. Entropy describes such an ‘arrow’ most basically, but upon this are built a succession of stream-tapping technologies (hydraulic, thermodynamic, informatic), reinforced by directional mechanisms, beginning with clockwork ratchets, and then proceeding – from the early industrial-era – through check-valves, into electronic forward-bias diodes (rectifiers), and software-implementations of one-way or ‘trap-door’ functions that support asymmetric crypto-processes, and irrevocable contractual commitments. Current emerges from the machinery of time, which is to say from operational asymmetries. ‘Flows’ are easily – and often lazily – invoked, without even notional attention to their engineering details. Far too much is already understood about the mechanics of irreversibility to leave such vague suggestions as a stopping point.

(Paracosm) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracosm* An imaginary world which generally comes into being from childhood and is developed over the course of one's lifetime into adulthood. * In other words, I may imagine the Selfmemer universe as a type of paracosm as it was formed during a period of juvenile activity in a young adult period. * However, I believe even before that, there was an earlier paracosm that was formed, either with my sibling and/or independently. I may one day further contemplate how connected these two worlds are. * I am glad that I exercised creation in my far youth. It's good to animistically endow life into toys, It's even better to construct a world merely from a milk crate, a cooler, and sweetgum seed pods all without prompting.

terraingallery.org/aesthetic-realism/art-criticism/gerrit-rietvelds-red-and-blue-chair-what-i-learned-about-rest-and-motion-in-myself/"The opposites that as living beings we are most interested in, perhaps, are tranquillity and excitement, or repose and stir. Tranquillity or repose by itself is boredom, uselessness. Excitement or stir by itself is uncertainty, sloppiness, fidgetiness, indecisiveness, the plague of unwilling motion. Tranquillity and excitement are one in all art. When they exist together in a person, that person is happy." "One of the functions of Rietveld’s chairs, with their hard seats and backs, is to focus our senses, to make us alert and aware. Rietveld was not interested in conventional ideas of comfort (the 19th century armchair that relaxes you so much that you spill your coffee or fall asleep over your book). He wished to keep the sitter physically and mentally “toned up.” " “I am constantly concerned,” Rietveld said, “with this extraordinary idea of the awakening of the consciousness.” There is a criticism in this chair of how people see comfort. Most people think of a comfortable chair as one you can sink into, one that will engulf you in reassuring arms. In the Red and Blue chair you lean back not into a cushion but a bright red rectangle, and you sit on a blue rectangle. Aesthetic Realism taught me that the only way to be truly comfortable is by thinking about and liking our relation to the world. This chair has us think about our relation to space, color, form. Did Rietveld want people to feel the abstract—what we can’t touch—is as real as the chair we are sitting on? I think the answer is Yes. His Red and Blue Chair is kind as well as beautiful—it helps us be at ease and alert at once. While against complacency, the Red and Blue is for true composure. And the glossiness of the black finish adds liveliness and a sense of depth. Mondrian and the artists of the De Stijl movement worked on the principle that all art has to have “dynamic equilibrium.” “Happiness,” Mr. Siegel said, “is dynamic tranquillity.” And dynamic tranquillity is what I feel looking at the Red and Blue Chair!

(Floppa and Bingus Meme Analysis) youtube.com/watch?v=clSFIR-R6So -The lion represents savagery -The lamb represents innocence (The Prose Edda) archive.org/details/proseedda00snor/page/72/mode/2up-from pg. 72 within Gylfaginning "Then, when Baldr was fallen, words failed all the Æsir, and their hands likewise to lay hold of him; each looked at the other, and all were of one mind as to him who had wrought the work, but none might take vengeance, so great a sanctuary was in that place. But when the Æsir tried to speak, then it befell first that weeping broke out, so that none might speak to the others with words concerning his grief. But Odin bore that misfortune by so much the worst, as he had most perception of how great harm and loss for the Æsir were in the death of Baldr." //Baldr represents pure innocence in North Mythology and his death, the great fall out of innocence due to the inherent savagery of life. (Cain and Abel) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_and_Abel() /watch?v=c7sdhwyimdA "I cannot believe it. Pikamee was the one who introduced me to vtubers. The sweetest of them all.This was the last straw for me on tolerating minority activists being agressive. This has to stop. They are damaging everyone, including those they pretend to defend in all of this mess." "[...] She then got bullied by the west for being excited to play Hogwarts Legacy after a hiatus. After the harassment, she deleted the tweet and went radio silent. People were worried about her health. After several weeks, she announces her graduation. She literally got bullied into quitting a job she loved because of the anxiety rooting back to her childhood." //Just an amusing Baldr correspondence that came to me via vtubers.

The Great Path: March: Computer Science April: Financials May: Psychologicals June: The Tieing-Up July: The Transcendence (A Courier and his Wanderthought) In us, there is this seemingly infinite flow of energy, It is passive and yet it is always ever pervasive. When you start to pace or scratch, its your engine aching to go, When you mistrust it, it will get moody and obstructed And when you obstruct it, it will become destructive to body and mind.
In reality, you have more energy than you realize, You have a material essence which by a witnessed fact is able to be refined into the Mental Planes. And if you mistrust in your ability to reify due to a clouded mind, then refine more energy towards a clearer mind. That is what it means to tolerate the non-understanding.
And so, by conceptualizing the correct walls, your flow will have no choice but to move towards the only place it can go. And without much conscious recollection, I am already in the midst of that action, This is the essence of Wu Wei.
May libido be my chariot. Let us travel past 7 hours everyday with minimal rations. I believe in the steed that is my seed.

"Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin"
Jason Paul Lowery Major Jason "Spook" Lowery is a US National Defense Fellow at MIT and active-duty astronautical engineer in the US Space Force. Jason has a decade of experience as a weapon system developer and technical advisor for US senior officials. He is currently advising US senior leaders on the national strategic security implications of Bitcoin, to include the Office of the President of the United States, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
This is a high-definition, color-printed manuscript of an academic thesis written by Major Jason Lowery, an active-duty US Space Force astronautical engineer and US National Defense Fellow at MIT tasked with advising senior US military leaders about the national strategic implications of Bitcoin. In this thesis, Lowery presents a novel theory to the US Department of Defense that Bitcoin doesn't just represent a peer-to-peer cash system, it also (and more importantly) represents a new form of digital-age warfare that will transform national security, cyber security, and possibly even the base-layer architecture of the internet. Using scientific concepts from biology, evolution, anthropology, political science, and computer theory, Lowery summarizes the dynamics of power projection in human society and provides an argument for why emerging proof-of-work technologies (namely Bitcoin) will have a dramatic impact on how humans organize, cooperate, and compete on a global scale by empowering populations to project physical power in, from, and through cyberspace. Major Lowery concludes that Bitcoin represents a national strategic imperative that the US should support and adopt as quickly as possible, else it risks losing its lead as a global superpower in the 21st century.

(Caodaism) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caodaism-"Cao Đài's left eye, similar to Eye of Providence." -"According to Cao Đài's dogma, this Third Period will be of intense religious activity which will unite God and humanity in ways not yet imagined. Cao Đài also states that the Third Amnesty will establish a new great faith for the salvation of living beings before the universal destruction. The primary objective of the Third Amnesty is the unity of all religions, which will bring mankind together in a universal family for universal peace" //strong Aeon of Horus vibes -"In terms of the cosmos, faithful Caodaists believe there are heaven and hell, which are the main destinations for souls after death. Heaven consists of thirty six planes and many heavenly realms upon each of them, e.g. the Realm of Saints, the Realm of the Holy Mother, the Realm of the Perfect Beings, the Divine Court Realm, The Paradise of Extreme Joy, etc. Meanwhile, hell has ten key realms to carry out punishments in accordance with sins of souls." (Other Links) www.daotam.info/cdinans.htmwww.caodai.org/-"Formerly people of the world lacked means of transportation, therefore they did not know each other…. Nowadays, all parts of the world are explored: humanity, knowing itself better aspires to real peace. But because of the very multiplicity of religions, humanity does not always live in harmony. That is why I decided to unite all these religions into One to bring them back to the primordial unity.

www.instagram dot com/p/CpprAX5s3Xm/?hl=en Gosia: Are other planets in the similar situation to ours and are you helping them too? Swaruu (9): Yes, there are exactly 9 other planets in similar condition. 10 in total. But none of them are in such a critical condition and are as relevant as Earth is. Gosia: Why is Earth so important? Swaruu (9): Because it's closer to us and to a very large variety of species because it's full of their starseeds and we all must take care of our own. Also, for strategic reasons - this is the negative stronghold. If Earth's negative forces are defeated on Earth the other planets in trouble will also be liberated. The other planets are only nodes of the Earth's Cabal, Mars and Venus for example. Earth is the key planet! Gosia: Key in this quadrant you mean? Because the universe is very large! Swaruu (9): Yes, this quadrant and problem of negative infiltration. Gosia: Can you specify the problem of negative infiltration please? Swaruu (9): The negative forces going into peaceful planets, to overtake and dominate the indigenous population using lies and Mind Control for service-to-self purposes. Gosia: So, this is a key planet for them also? Why so much interest in Earth from both sides? Swaruu (9): That's right. See it as the negative force's "Headquarters". And also, because in other positive timelines Earth is also the Headquarters of the Federation. It's the negative forces headquarters and the Federation headquarters at the same time. tags: 'swaruu'

heartlocket.substack.com/p/waterheartedDeath Stranding is more foundational for thought and its futures than any work from the Western canon. Death Stranding reveals three important elements of the situation to me: 1. The Beach: the world of the dead is stranded in the world of the living. When we take up language we take it up both against and for death. Language is the promise of immortalizing the subject, most fundamentally at the level of the Name, the metonym for the extenuation of the bloodline through time. In the history of language, the name is the fundamental unit of temporal articulation, the name becomes the organizing element of archival and reference. The metaphysical flight from death constituted by this line of naming begins to break down in view of language’s artificial replaceability. The name itself loses substance when a model fine-tuned on thousands of words of Poolboyism can write Poolboyism more beautifully than I can. When I see myself being cloned, a part of me dies. And that part of me that dies is itself my death. Death is stranded in the world of the living. Language no longer gives us any ‘grip’ on death, and death appears lonely like a little girl lost in a snow field, miles away, blowing her snow-whistle as she screams for help. All we can hear is the sound of her whistle. The world of the dead appears like the entire history of language at once. All compositional possibilities arrayed like an open constellation in the night sky, out of which falls worldkilling rain. 2. Two Hands Reaching Out To Make a Heart Shape: The opening of the world of the dead leaves a golden mineral substance scattered across the surface of the earth. Chiralium. It grows in crystalline clusters on the beach, and each cluster looks like an outstretched hand waiting for another hand to come and find it to form a heart. It becomes the fuel for the chiral network, a new Internet built to facilitate love between souls in the opened world of the dead. Unlike the other elements in the periodic table, Chiralium does not experience the flow of time. Its name comes from the chiral nature of the heart sign, the way in which the singularity of the heart entails a meeting of curves: every heart is open to the world because it is the memory of two hands coming together to make an empty chamber of Nothing. The heart is the meeting of two mirror images. 3. Timefall: Timefall is a form of precipitation that accelerates the passage of time. When it began to fall, the world’s ecosystems and geographies were devastated beyond the point of recognition. Timefall farmers emerged to take advantage of the rapid growth of crops, while corpse disposal units were created to traffic the bodies exposed to the rain. When the world of dead is opened, time literally falls down from the clouds as rain.
