    I’ve decided that I do not understand Tolkien at all...

    ...might be because I got so bored in the middle of reading the Two Towers that I quit...

    ...same thing happened with Lonesome Dove.

    A short attention span is a serious curse.

    This page links to a Google drive with lots of lectures from Manly P Hall. In the study of ancient philosophy, he is unsurpassed.

    One might consider the growth of a lifetime of experience through time as one considers the growth of a tree over the course of its own life. As potentials and probabilities are encountered and decided, branching may occur. Although one might have the sense of awareness of deciding to take one possibility over another, the alternate branch does exist, albeit beyond one's purview. From a perspective outside of this narrow experience which we enjoy, it may be seen, the life and all the possibilities fulfilled as one whole object. The Vonnegut novel comes to mind.

    Just remember to wipe your keyboard later.

    Huh?

    I was careless while feeding the fire altar, and I touched the wrong side of a hot brick. It happens, and the incident mirrors how I got heavily in to the medical readings of Edgar Cayce. Not that I would have chosen to relive the instance, mind you. This is the worst burn I have experienced since 2008.

    Soaking your fingers while typing results in a wet keyboard. Most keyboards don't like getting wet. Hence the advice to wipe the keyboard.

    Easily 3rd degree burns on two of the fingers on my right hand. My access is through touchscreen. With the thymoline, the pain has mostly subsided.

    The burns are still tender, but not actively hurting. Not too shabby.

    The advice I was always given is to immediately apply ice when burning your skin. It closes the capillaries and reduces the fluid buildup between the upper and lower skin — i.e. the blistering. And of course, it also immediately channels the remaining heat away from your body, reducing the rate at which the burn spreads due to residual overheating.

    But hey, if it works for you, then it works for you.

    You misunderstand. Tomorrow the burns will be healed, gone. Callouses, instead.

    Update

    As predicted, the fingers are now uninjured, and where there would be blistering there are callouses instead, and what was a little charred has rubbed off so the skin is normal with only a slight discoloration.

    Certain signs have been removed and I am returning to The Tent to conduct a serious, and fun, thread. Headache and a sleepless night will make the start slow but, it will begin anew and soon. That would mean some hours, not days. It is good to be back home.

    One new piece of original content to start things off. Although I have been a bit of an iconoclast, icons are part of an old paradigm that is finally dying. During these transitional times I was 'inspired' with a new word that will find usage and further explanation in later posts. That word is Archonoclast. Archon is the Greek word for 'ruler' as in the royalty/president type. The word itself has a few layers though.

    Archonoclast.

    One cannot live yesterday or before
    One can live tomorrow now
    Two cannot live tomorrow now
    Two can live yesterday now
    Many can suffer yesterdays
    Many can suffer tomorrows
    Many will become one
    Some two's many
    Yesterday and Tomorrows can be walls of silence or Sulhell
    Now lives, now lives, now longs for nothing
    Only experience is now
    To give God tongue in forgetting not you
    A cave awaits then Sun greets
    Stone step, Iron young, Gold orb
    Mustard seed doeth feel, doth shine, does grow, tis tasted
    I MagI Nation/Sovereign Complete
    Kees Seek
