No movie tonight, but I did watch an especially spooky episode of "Kolchak" that was filmed at the distinctive looking Valley Presbyterian Hospital, the architecture of which is instantly recognizable to any Valleyite. I also finished my recently purched Dr. Farrell book, "Mind and Microcosm", which was unputdownable. It begins as a study of the ancient Greek theory of Makanthropos, that Man is an "open system" (as opposed to a "closed circuit" in electrical terminology), and that, because he is composed of the same elements that exist all through the Universe, he is a Microcosm of the Macro Universe. As a "small universe" unto himself, he is therefore subject to the forces of the large universe. This is where astrology comes from, and any other biorhythmic theory.
But man also possesses mind, and so he is conscious and aware of something Dr. Joe refers to as the Topological Metaphor. The Metaphor is somewhat complex and requires a reading of it's full explanation in the Doctor's books, but to be brief, if - before the existence of anything at all - there was Nothing, and if within the Nothing you drew a circle, you would now have a distinction within the Nothing. Now imagine the Nothing as empty space, or better yet a complete void, before the Universe came into being. The circle you have drawn is the Universe, the distinction within the Nothing.
But you also have a third thing, and that is the common surface shared by the Nothing and the Something (the drawn circle representing the Universe), for the Something emerged from the Nothing and therefore shares the same "topological surface".
So what you have is a "one in three" metaphor, or better said : one and one makes three (in this case).
Now believe me, the Topological Metaphor is quite a bit more complex than what I have described. Dr. Farrell has an Oxford education and so I will leave it up to him to explain it's complexities which you can Google if you wish. But he boils them down so that they are very understandable, and to get back to the topic of his latest book, the Topological Metaphor, or the Three-In-One, relates to Makanthropos and microcosmism in this way - the Nothing was the void, the Universe was the circle drawn, and Mind, or consciousness, was the Common Surface shared.
The reason that the Mind is the common surface, supposed the Greeks, is because it takes a mind, or a form of conscious awareness, to observe or contemplate the idea of Nothing, and the idea of Something.
In other words, there is a question if, without the Mind, do the ideas of Nothing and Something exist?
I don't want to get to far afield of the Topological Metaphor, or Dr. Joe's current book, so I will backtrack and sum up by saying that the Three of the "One-In-Three" is composed of Nothing (i.e. the void before the Universe, and Something (the Universe, Space and The Cosmos), and Consciousness Of Both Of The First Two Things, which is Mind.
And only Humans, so far as we know, possess that consciousness.
Therefore, the Greeks surmised that the human mind and collective consciousness was the interface between the precursor (i.e the void, or the birther, or God), and that which emerged, which was the Universe.
Humans were the centerpiece, to go-betweens in mind and body, between God and the enormous wheels of the Cosmos. Moreover, Humans - composed in flesh of the same minerals and water as all of the stars and planets, and composed in mind of electromagnetic impulses that were attuned to the vibrations and spin cycles of local planetary geometry, were by default part of the Cosmos, and were it's Observers, by which the Universe itself was made real.
This latter supposition harkens back to the old standby of "If A Tree Falls In The Forest And There Is No One Around To Hear It, Does It Make A Sound"?
I admit, I have a problem with that statement, no matter how far physicists may want to take it to prove their point. To me, of course the tree makes a sound, even if there is no one there to hear it.
Now, it takes a receptor to hear it. A human or animal ear. Maybe an insect even, or even a spirit in the ghost world.
But even if none of those are present, the tree still hits the ground and sends out a vibration that can be received as a sound.
But this once again implies that a Receptor must be present for the sound to take hold.
So, this dilemma takes us back to the Topological Metaphor, and the idea of Makanthropos, the idea that there is Big Universe (planets, stars and space), and small universe (man and mind), and that the interaction between Big and Small, Macro and Micro, is constant and unending.
This is why, as Dr. Joe points out, it is important to elevate oneself in a cultural and spiritual sense to be in harmony with the Affektenlehre of the Music of the Spheres.
The subject is exponentially more complex than what I have described, but you can read about it for yourself in "Mind And Microcosm" by Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, available at Lulu. com.
The book also deals in depth with the deeply disturbing subject of mind manipulation technologies that have been developed since WW2, so that is a caveat for the squeamish. But wow, what a book. ///
In other news, Trump will soon be toast. I have a feeling that this thing is coming to a head sooner rather than later, and that he will be removed from office. We might see an astonishing turn of events even sooner then I had originally thought, which was by the end of the year.
But at this point, things could turn at any moment, because top White House personnel have now publicly stated that we have a madman and a fool as president.
As Richard Painter said tonight on MSNBC, "He is a threat to human civilisation because he controls nuclear weapons. He need to be removed now".
We have never seen anything like this, and I agree with Mr. Painter 1000%.
See you in the morning. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo :):)
