It suddenly clouded over (not rain clouds!) so I quickly went out and in 15 mins I finished pulling the weeds and planted the last of the potatoes - there weren't as many left to plant as I thought. I still have loads of weeds to pull in other areas of the garden but everything has been planted now. :) Bring on the rain!!!!!
 
Snowed in CB this morning according to the weather ... may be true if the polis did have anything to do with the slip ...

Did you know in classic terms poli(s) referred to the slick ... maybe oliphants! How to slip away ... like make your Mark! Started with the Matt hewn ... at the portal (Luce) that opened to G' no stix ... some say "the known" some say unknown, etc.

Thought patterns are like that ... yet some remain determined that they are familiar familiar with the entire mess. Maybe they're in denial ...

Figured that was coming sooner or later given how dry it is out there. The guy I know who does firefighting in Greece (he's a helicopter pilot who does waterbombing from a Sikorsky Skycrane) is actually expecting a quiet year this year. Apparently they are getting more rain.

I was somewhat familiar with that but there were other connections but they sur passed ... went over ... overtook ... like that fish in Grumpy Old Men ...

Always respect the edge ... as indicated in a translation I'm reading on Gnostic and what it meant in the past ... an understanding lost about ultimate goings on ...

A lot of the language in it might be considered strange to folk determined about "their" normal and completely blanked about alternate perspectives ...

What is normal behavior to some attempting to defeat their neighbor can lead to folly of large organised criminal events. I cannot name them because of threats from criminal justice ...

Criminal's justice runs rampant when people satisfy them selves in autonomous ways ... the reflection gets dangerous ... difficult to see in certain constrictions!

I was asked to give an interpretation of this post:

Is what I write below a reasonable translation?
The Hooke story reminds me that important ideas and contributors are often overshadowed by larger narratives. We should pay attention to the edges of accepted knowledge and remain open to perspectives that fall outside what society considers normal. When people become too attached to their own assumptions, ordinary competitive behavior can grow into larger social harms. Power structures often make it difficult to challenge accepted views, and those constraints can prevent people from honestly reflecting on what is happening.

Really is nothing serious anymore? Maybe just the word ... but first one would have to read into it with some depth as most of it is rather super fiscal ... if you don't believe look how the powers go through money and never share with the lesser power ... despised processors of intellect!

Knowledge and cognizance is said to be bad ... cause the powers do not wish the little people know what they are doing with the extractions ... the reason for press and its association ... mostly gone bad. You have to question and pick at anything that is presented ...

It is suppressing what the bulk accepts ... then there is the Krista's! It is something stranger than consumption ...

Then there are words of poli, or polis ... which once meant smooth and easy to consume as it lied there ... without question!

How are we meant to believe this material ... that's presented powerfully? Howls like pneuma ... wind of presentation ... or when words are spit at you by a flaming fool ...

Best to rack them on a medium ... carry them off! Because really in normal life does anyone care for anything? Just look about at the evidence ... seems brutal to me ... the entire populace ... over aliens and strangers ... biblical?

Maybe interpretations ...

My apologies to the Last Post thread. I can move it out if you like...

@Luce NDs another interpretation asked for, that I thought i would run past you.
Is this a reasonable understanding?
Too much of modern life seems driven by money, power, and superficial narratives. Those in authority often prefer people not to look too closely at what is happening. We should question what we are told rather than consume it passively. Political and media messages can be persuasive simply because they are presented forcefully. At the same time, society often seems increasingly indifferent and hostile toward outsiders and strangers. Perhaps we need to think more carefully about how we interpret what we are being told and how we treat one another.

You may be closer to what is ... than a lot of people would like if you recognize that a lot of folk would sooner know nothing as knowledge makes people responsible. Do you know what this does to the mortal psyche? If overruled with emotions ... it gets like Wyle Coyote and gets into a lot of difficulty as does the blond boom south of us ... be carful of ACME Productions ...

Funny I had a discussion with a philosopher-theologian this afternoon about what could be discussed in private vs public and it is a limited array because the book of classic law encourages individual minds to know little so the powers could control the larger qualm 'd anonym and why we have trouble relating in a larger population ... interference from up there ... nous (anonymous) psyche. Isn't that unheard of? Consider how many politicians aim to shut up the paradigm! Thus a great deal of critical material is below board or over the horizon ...

The entire point of life is to connect for a bit ... relate ... while many brute forces would sooner divide and conquer for something they cannot take into the abstract realm ... tis relatively spooky!

Some folk when encountering truth get the chills ... it is frightening to know what was wrong ... and yet we didn't know because of visions clouded by misinformation from the top wheels ... blind horsemen?

Sorry for the delay but I was drawn to other accusations of being cynical. I do believe you may be on to my sacred meanings in your interpretation. I cannot say for sure as I am told by the paradigm that I am stupid ... so I have a standard to support!

This afternoon there was a great thrashing over of the purpose of logical criticism and the world of cynical process. It is found to be useful to analyse matter generated by the purely emotional (lacking the non-obvious). This is very clouded in topic as the norm is told by powers that they shouldn't ponder deep matters. That would interfere with something distasteful to the powers. Realize we live in a powerful surrounding where the weaker and humbler are not welcome. This is regardless of some mystical verses about kindness, justice and humility around the lessor gifted ... and yet the powers remain with the air of hubris. Go figure what nemesis is ...

In such considerations do you get the idea there is more to the abstract psyche? One has to ask when we encounter it and escape the presence of the determinate that they have it all right and nothing remains of ... left-over gang. On theology student or another has asked me about sitting death watches and why folk, shortly before passing, sometimes sit up and speak to someone unseen at the bottom of their bed ... while disconnected to the real folk sitting with them. Magi? There are stranger things under midnight's child ... twilight zone?

I am constantly told there is no such thing as psyche (mind, soul or whatever else you might label it) some say ineffable ... thus we are not to talk about that which cannot be named! Is it something in us that's corrupt or are we the thing being so enamoured with winning more wealth. Makes me reminisce about the concept of a satisfied soul ... an impossible item in an emotional state according to Harold Bloom. Maybe with radical conversion ... transmutation? Imagine splitting a thin man between love 'n thought ... demiurge? That's half a good line or portion of a ratty sonnet ...

If you encounter something complex ... keep it under your hat and act like your mad so the fortune hunters will ignore yah ... complexity is easier to carry off that a ton of gold ... few will come near you ...

You wouldn't believe the hated portion I fell over ... some folk wanted it but were really unsure how to download it! The algorithms want to upload it ...

When I leave this domain shortly, you wouldn't believe what I am leaving with as flaming intellect ... none willed it!

You know Herman Harlos would connect with me on these things ... and a few others. Some were accusative but some were curios and seeking ...

Herman sometimes pops up on my FB .. but I suspect ....
 
@JayneWonders ... for the record a cynic is described as a person who is suspicious that their counter is relating to them for personal gain ... the same thing I was accused of ... but for a different gain than hard fortune. It seems this is a self-reflective scheme ... we should pay attention to our twin! It may be of the essence ... a type of ghost, or phantom in the song ...

In Kurt Rudolf's tome on Gnostic Faith he notes that a lot of meaning of classic word is reversed because of constant alteration and evolution (that is denied) mostly by those that say nothing evolves ... a rathe pious statement as otherwise orthodox ...

Is understanding a tangible item of bother ... something to worry? I know folk that are alert to nothing that is bothersome to their goals ... thus they run it down.

In Fredericton here today 3 different people were killed in accidents of head-on nature or driving vehicles in an unalert state of mind (impossible eh). If there is no mind could alertness come into play? Ridiculous? I've seen worse ... you wouldn't believe the CEO's, etc. that I've sat across the table from ... mostly telling me not to be cynical of them ... when I knew what I was up against. You wonder why I ask questions? Once I was up against the notorious AJ Dunlap ... known as Chainsaw! He was said to leave an inheritance of $100MM. I know that considerable numbers of his deals bought at least that much of commissions on top of considerable salary ... is that money offshore? I suggest it can never return ... like that character in Boston ... a mythical money man in Boston? Imagine ... some are conditioned to imagine nothing ...

I'm sorry ... I tend to talk a lot about intelligence ... it is stupid of me ... it is not supposed to be in the world of physical power ... it isn't willed ... just the way thought Dais ... the other death? These things come to me ... spontaneously ... no logic!
