Unbearable Ambition

It’s in between – to be able to fall gracefully lessens the fear and the actual danger involved with falling. So the better you learn to fall and ‘roll with it’ the narrower and steeper the ridges you can climb.

To make it truly a free-roaming experience we could simly have rastered holes in the corner of each room. I think that is how reality often finds its way; there is no hall of exaltation that does not have a hole for excrement.

Interesting metaphor indeed - I might write something later on what I heard about ‘spiritual shitting’… but perhaps that is better saved for another place. No decision has been made yet on the desired dgeree of ubiquitousness of toilets.

This is why I travel whenever I get the chance. However shallow and pointless our global contemporary culture is, nations still have their depths of which the modern inhabitants are unaware, largely and often, unaware also that they still represent it. Learning to speak proper French was I think the most satisfying discovery of cultural worth in my adult life. Despite the obvious charm of French, it could be any language, whatever you instinctively find fitting to a repressed part of the psyche. That is what new languages do to me, they open up space for parts of my psyche that had been repressed to flourish. I only need rocky hills and a deserted dust track to be perfectly happy in these periods of learning, changing.

Surely I am not a recognized authority in this, modern believers will claim that the explanations are substantial of themselves – as metaphors. But if you ever heard someone recite the Torah in Hebrew and heard a priest reciting from the old testament in a modern language, the difference is quite clear.

The same sort of thing goes for the Koran. It is primarily an Arab work of art or revelation. It’s beauty is perceptible only in Arab. Many non Arab muslims account of this. This is the way it was ‘revealed’, inspired - a language is more (and less) than a set of universal symbols.

It sounds indeed as if I had a more substantial education… but truly it was mainly these two languages that made the difference. The rigor of Latin, unknown to us now, and the strange splendidness of Greek - yes, precisely what is for a ‘successful modern’ a non-functional world of immense dignity, this is what taught me or planted to seed for me to rise above modernity, functionality, for that is indeed a crux.

The qestion is: Useful for what?
Useful is never a standard. It needs a standard. Useful for cleaning toilets? No, Greek is not. Useful for buying stocks? It might be, depending. But probably not. Useful for experiencing joy? Most definitely. Useful as an introcuction top philosophy? Most useful.

But I am radically against use value as a philosophical or even psychological standard. What is the use of joy? What is the use of philosophy? What is the use of life?

What you describe is pure will. I am not denying ambition in it, but it is more universal than an ambition, which is specific beyond proving and increasing strength, which is the basis for life. Ambition in this case is the imagination of a transformed world. This is why it is unbearable, or was; because of the vast distance between the present of the OP and the present of the OP’s mind. But I have been progressing rapidly with MM, and now these two past weeks he has produced with your help a quantum leap in scientific understanding that realizes perhaps the most difficult part of this ambition. I know my part in it, and I have always known that my ambition requires a number of unlikely geniuses who I just figured would exist because I exist.

Dangerous perhaps so much praise but we must recognize the worth of a good work. We have no institutions that back us and publish our discoveries so that thousands of students can put their teeth in it. It is necessary to be definite about the severity of the work, otherwise there is no hope for propagation. Frivolity and the internet belong together, and this is why philosophy must fundamentally transform the internet - it must transform itself into a foundation of a new internet structure; the consistency and core of which is not the rhizome, but it’s cause; the self-valuing of the concept of self valuing - the primordial vortex of the logos.

Indeed.

The internet’s inter-design is in the same pattern as our brain’s neurons and the way stars and matter emerge from space outside of this very planet.

When you think about it, we’re within the Universe’s matrix, within our matrix, within the computer’s matrix - it’s matrix-ception, yet this is how you argue against matrix theories - despite that, everything comes together as “one”. What does this mean? It means that a matrix cannot exist in a Universe that is fundamentally relative.

The matrix is the reality - a relative one.

That said, I cannot wait to make that breakthrough with M&M’s. We’re both on a very hot trail and my magic number “144” is going to help him get there faster. That number 144 is incredible. You will see in due time, friend.

You said you had a part in this. What did you mean by that?

Yes, it’s transient, conditional to the actuality of each individual self-valuing. Even humans are transient like that and can become aware of it if the mind attains to a deep subtlety of self-valuing, which results in powers extending to dispersing clouds or evoking lightning.

144 is also 2 times 72, two fifths of 360, one of the ways the golden ratio appears in the pentad.

I invented this self-valuing logic, and drew up that 9 matrix, though of course that’s not my contribution to life in any sense but I pointed MM to it. The idea of putting it together came to me in my sleep once.

If humans weren’t transient - … Do you have any idea what life would be like?

Indeed.

Well aren’t we all just a lovely bunch of geniuses!

And Fixed Cross is…?

Sorry -I was wondering how confusing it was, but I never feel the tendency to clear it up. I am Fixed Cross.

“No, not.” “No, not really.” “Not, no.”
these are phrases that come to mind.

Hitler had 5 of those in his natal chart, neatly arranged.

Yes. I think we should have a tree house.

Now the question of navigating this transient web as humans both inward and outward. As MM has shown elsewhere these scales mirror in consciousness, and can in a subtle consciousness mirror in such a way that they connect more directly through their actual spin logic, hook into the absolute future and come to resonate and produce what has hitherto been known as states of divine consciousness.

To share fully what I have learned as being tradition but do not understand -
11, 22, 33 are counted as semi-irreducible - as exalted versions of 2, 4 and 6; this would have to account for the justification of the decimal system. That this system is not completely arbitrary can be grasped from the magic number of five in two: 144.

What comes to mind for me is “MACHINES”.

Are you saying what I think you’re saying?

Let’s call it the “Big O’ Tree” house. That’s a double entendre. It will be home for us and ironic hell for bigots.

I know.

That’s why I asked you like that.

That said. Please go to M&M’s genius thread and see what I figured out with the help of Artimas.

Your brain is going to go boom.

That would be correct.

11 x 11 = 121

22 x 22 = 484

33 x 33 = 1089

The sequence is 4 7 9

1 4 7

2 5 8

3 6 9

The sum of those numbers is |1694|.

The sequence is 2.

Half of 1694 is |847|

1694 x 2 = |3388| ←

33 x 33 = 1089

88 x 88 = |7744|

The sum of those numbers is |8833|. ←

33 + 88 = |121|

What numbers in the Magic Square we highlighted? 1 4 7 2 8 3 9. Altogether, that’s |34|. The sequence is 7.

What numbers weren’t highlighted? 5 and 6. Altogether, that’s |11|. The sequence is 1.

If you ask me, these number are 1 off from both, .33 and 42 (the answer to life).

We have 41, add a 1, you get 42.

We have a 34, subtract a 1, you get 33.

11 + 1 = |12|

One last thing: The highlighted numbers are doing something wicked. 2 + 1 = |3| 3 = |3| 4+7+8+9 =|28| Is this Universe really saying “Two 8’s?”. That gives us |3388|.

I wasn’t aware you were Fixed Cross, you’ve made some very good posts on this forum

Thanks for the discussion, I’m going to take some time to let it sink in.

I look forward to reading more of your posts here and through the links you directed me to earlier.

Yes, the level of transience of or our states - and thus the subtlety of our selfvaluing overall control determines the degree of our our human genius, our ‘freedom from determinism’ - the degree to which our consciousness includes (differentiates and activates) the possibilities that cause its movements. Selfcontrol means stabilized futurality, means ‘faith’ in the sense of knowing ones paradigm of potential, mind being not just morally committed but carnally wedded to reality.

I am not sure; in any case I am saying I am an astrologer, and that Hitler was a magician - in the sense of a phenomenon driven by short-cut ties to and between different causal logics operating on us through the system in which Earth is embedded. The system is highly electrical. Subtle cross-referential spectral resonance shifts are pervasive in the electricity of our brains. I am sure half of my readers will drop me. And this is indeed a matter that is more comfortably discussed behind closed doors. But I find it important to make it known that to my mind the astrological logics are wholly derived from geometrical properties of the relations between the primordial numbers; 2, 3, 4 and 6 figure into the building of the 12-fold Zodiac, where the permutations of of 3- and 4-foldness form the backbone of the typology. The central cardinalities are the two horizons on the path of the earths rotation; both around the sun (“signs” - segments, not constellations) and around its axis (“houses”), and the intersections of the suns ecliptic with the zenith meridian, nadir and midheaven (corresponding in the greater wheel to 0 Cancer and 0 Capricorn). The Vedic system orients not on geometrical points but on constellations; it is thus each 60 years one degree further off from the western system on which it appears to founded by the fact that the difference is now something like 27 degrees, which means that the split must have occurred less than two millennia ago, at which point the Vedic philosophy was already dying. And indeed astrology makes a lot more sense if its coordinates are based on physical angles and proximities, rather than on endless depths of endlessly differentiated radiation from indeterminate ‘constellations’, relying on a model rather lacking in dimensionality.

Aye.

Thank you! You have a musical mind.
I will enjoy Strauss.

Transience gave us the power to imagine and to experience the Universe as it is rather than animate us purely on stimuli and physiological reaction.

Well, let’s test that theory. Take a sign that is based on 0 or 1 and take a sign that is based on 9 or 8. If the former are both numbers that represent fundamental aspect and the latter the opposite, then perhaps those numbers truly mean something on a much higher scale that is beyond the ambiguous implication of it that’s commonly hunting down the gullible.

Based on 0? Not sure what you mean, but:

1 Aries, cardinal fire, initiative, expansion (primary)
8 Scorpio, fixed water, containment, perseverance (secondary)

Astrology is based on the angles between the planets from the birth perspective, when the electrical system of the organism is separated from its mother’s.
These angles produce a system called harmonics, where 360 is 1. Of these harmonics the 1, 2, 3 and 4 are enough to create the 12 fold system of cardinalities and elements. Elements pertain to expansion and contraction, phases of density, Water is the final, perfected contained element, fire the first, expansive and self-generating. Mutable fire, 9 Sagittarius, is consuming and dispersing across the board.

The principle is two fold - self-valuing (cardinal-fixed) and valuing (fixed-mutable).

Al this is speculative -
I know astrology primarily as a collection of empirical data. All information (sun in aquarius = ) is [limited] and charts must be read whole. This means integrating the geometry into an overall pattern.
But the geometry extends to a system of qualities, which is not reducible to numbers without knowing fully the complete chemical structures of the planets and the Sun - it is easier to atomically deconstruct a brain to achieve the same ends. Order is humanly reducible to principle, but quality is not; therefore all human attempts to this end bring about a reduction of the human quality.

I’m a Scorpio.

I agree. But I would appreciate it if you could further expound on your knowledge of astrology, while keeping out “esoteric” terms. Use words that I can understand. I do not like names. All I need is the basis of the design and it will come to me on its own.

I will try to steer for comprehensible substance - tell me if this is lacking in clarity and if so where specifically, or otherwise what specifically you need to know to begin.

The only objectifying test of astrology is an empirical one.
One test is for someone to give me a number of points in time and space on Earth one of which is their birth, and the astrologer tries to pick out the right chart based on what he perceives of the person.

Another is for the astrology to outright say the sun is here moon there, ascendant this and probably A in the xth house, B in y, etc.

I can not sustain a success rate in the later, because I don’t try for one. But this is what a professional astrologer had to be able to do when the art was taken seriously. It is still taken seriously, but it is being obscured by printing horoscopes based on the isolated position of the sun, which is virtually certain to be irrelevant or incorrect, given that aspects determine everything. But everything. There is nothing that is not explicit in a chart or a progressed chart. And with explicit I mean explicit: exact conjunctions at momentous events are ubiquitous. Probability is not even a factor. It is more like gravity. The only restriction to it is that the human life is beyond comprehension - not that its set of strengths and weaknesses and course of obstacles is not absolutely determined. The interplay between many such determined paths through the human density of transience, causes the courses of fate (2) versus destiny (1), a choice which is determined at - only, it looks like - angular portals of intensification or multiplication.

We are always under the influence, first of the sun and our own orbit(ascendant), then moon (semi-retrograding, ‘slipping’ moon points are crucial to avoid error in magic (shortcutting relations by invoking numerical and qualitative patterns of propagation)) - and then of the planets. I can not account for their force except on a level of deep subtlety; as I said we are all of us on Earth embedded not only on Earth but in the flat plane of the Suns outposts, and this whole is blanked covered by the scintillating intelligence of the magnetic fields, propagating their ‘logics’ in gods knows what complexities but all of our brains are directly embedded in this system, in some fields more even than they are ‘stuck on our spines’. A brain can keep functioning without a body, and still be uninfluenced by its location on Earth, by the position of the Sun, but also by the moons phase and proximity to the Earth, which causes the tides but also correlates with increases and decreases of conceptions and murders and pull at the waters in our body and brain. The moon is primarily connected to the body and the mother, as it influences the waters and the bleeding. We are not isolated from our system. We can of course live in bunkers; it is likely that to be born and conceived in a bunker means to be born more ‘neutrally’, whatever that means; more in terms of genes perhaps, with less character of ones own. More in terms of the times, the architecture of the bunker, the clothes -
to be born under the stars then means to be delivered free to oneself.

A third is a reading of a chart without knowledge of the person it applies to.

A fourth test is semi empirical, it is a reading done of the person with the chart next to him. This is what is by far the most common and easy and unfalsifiable and what makes the image of astrology. If I had a the money to hire some programmers and advertising space I could make dating site whose worth would run in the billions because it has an unsurpassed success rate. I have a lot of date, gathered by specialist friend, of the type of alignments that are consistent in lasting romantic bonds. The consistencies are strong enough to make marketable predictions; if out of a pool of 500 there are 48-51 men with moon on the woman’s Juno, there are also 48-51 women with moon on the mans Juno. So genders relations to planets are interchangeable, but planetary relations are not. It is the coherence of patterns Every body is a step in the pattern. Ever alignment is a shared step, a resonance of will and identity.
