    Not really, Brother. I was actually attempting an allegory for saying that in the end, the goal is to unite humanity into coherence, as opposed to the current state of competing/hostile factions.

    Any takers?
    Having accepted the invitation myself I'd like to extend this invitation to all the former occupants of Rhosgobels tent at ToT as well.
    If by means of synchronistimystisism you happen to read this and wonder if I mean you.
    You can be sure I do.

    With Love

    Have a great day today

    Pet Shop Boys, from their album Behavior:
    'Cause we were never being boring, we were never being bored"


    Full lyrics:
    Being Boring.
    I came across a cache of old photos
    and invitations to teenage parties
    'Dress in white' one said with quotations
    from someone's wife, a famous writer
    in the nineteen-twenties
    When you're young you find inspiration
    in anyone who's ever gone
    and opened up a closing door
    She said we were never feeling bored

    'cause we were never being boring
    We had too much time to find for ourselves
    and we were never being boring
    We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
    And we were never holding back or worried that
    time would come to an end

    When I went I left from the station
    with a haversack and some trepidation
    Someone said if you're not careful
    you'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
    in the nineteen-seventies
    But I sat back and looking forward
    my shoes were high and I had scored
    I'd bolted through a closing door
    and I would never find myself feeling bored

    'cause we were never being boring
    We had too much time to find for ourselves
    and we were never being boring
    We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
    And we were never holding back or worried that
    time would come to an end
    We were always hoping that, looking back
    you could always rely on a friend

    Now I sit with different faces
    in rented rooms and foreign places
    All the people I was kissing
    some are here and some are missing
    in the nineteen-nineties
    I never dreamt that I would get to be
    the creature that I always meant to be
    but I thought in spite of dreams
    you'd be sitting somewhere here with me

    'cause we were never being boring
    We had too much time to find for ourselves
    and we were never being boring
    We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
    And we were never holding back or worried that
    time would come to an end
    We were always hoping that, looking back
    you could always rely on a friend

    And we were never being boring
    We were never being bored
    'cause we were never being boring
    We were never being bored

    I'm up to 32... a new addition yesterday morning:


    This weekend I've got fencing to finish, a pool to fix and, every 3 hours, mongooses to feed... Oh, and Rad and I are doing some show prep. Why does it seem like my "time off" is more busy than sitting here at my desk at work?

    Perhaps it is because on your "time off" you are 'working' for yourself instead of the 'Man'...

    I secretly suspect that your comfort zone is keeping busy, TargeT.

    Parallel lines all meeting is one defintion of singularity. Instead of the past creating the future, the future creates the past and the singularity has already occurred. We are the One who is the photon who made it to the core.

    As good a story as I've heard.

    WE ARE FROM THE FUTURE

    ”Plants harvest light with near perfect efficiency, but this is impossible under classical physics. Along the way to the photo synthesising core, photons of light should collide with other particles, but they dont…a photon reaching the core is as likely to succeed as you sprinting blindfolded through a dense forest reaching the centre without striking a single tree. Plants are engaged in a kind of miracle, the plant puts the photons into a state of quantum of superposition, multiplying it by every route that photon could possibly take. Imagine blindly sprinting through a forest being multiplied into every one of the billions of possible paths, if any one of your possibilities was observed hitting a tree the superposition would collapse and that would be your final outcome, but the plant patiently refuses to observe any of these casualties whilst at its heart it contInues to sing … LET THERE BE LIGHT!

    When any of the possibilities finally reaches the core without fail, only that winner is observed. All the other possibilities disappear , the winner is transmitted back through time from the future and becomes the only possibility that ever existed. This is how photons reach the plants core with impossible precision. This is how you and every organism in existence overcame the massive improbabilities of life, this is how we are from the future. This is how you will become the light of the world as we invoke the sacred imperative together … LET THERE BE LIGHT! ”
