Hi Lesk.......thanks for sharing additional info, links and your insights.

I am not at home right now where I left some study notes that I recorded because they gave me pause as relavent.....I am at the lake for more R&R....smiles...so functioning in realm of 'slow motion'....lol.

The statement here 'all-pervasive incompressible fluid' just rattled my insight-chain!!!! But without my recorded study notes I am left flying with only one wing......smiles. I will have to backtrack to a study I have been examining.....it'll take abit to retrace my steps....so I will be back.

Regards Mikal

Enjoy your break, Bev...looking forward to sharing your further insights.

Subsequent to the post by Graybeard:

Priapus was described as the son of Aphrodite by Dionysus, perhaps as father or son of Hermes,[1] son of Zeus or Pan, depending on the source.[2] According to legend, Hera cursed him with impotence, ugliness and foul-mindedness while he was still in Aphrodite's womb, in revenge for the hero Paris having the temerity to judge Aphrodite more beautiful than Hera.[3] The other gods refused to allow him to live on Mount Olympus and threw him down to Earth, leaving him on a hillside. He was eventually found by shepherds and was brought up by them.

Priapus joined Pan and the satyrs as a spirit of fertility and growth, though he was perennially frustrated by his impotence. In a ribald anecdote told by Ovid,[4] he attempted to rape the nymph Lotis but was thwarted by an ass, whose braying caused him to lose his erection at the critical moment and woke Lotis. He pursued the nymph until the gods took pity on her and turned her into a lotus plant. The episode gave him a lasting hatred of asses and a willingness to see them destroyed in his honour.[5]The emblem of his lustful nature was his permanent erection and his giant penis.[6]

Based on the criteria you propose, Greg, I would suggest that superior males are in a minority.

Phallic symbols have occupied all cultures, and in my opinion, and I could be wrong, the cult is much older than the Romans or Greeks. It is still carried out in Thailand where a 'palat khik' is carried by nearly all street stall vendors and many other people as well. And it is not limited to any one social class. Policemen, Politicians, Monks (officially monks are not allowed to).... everyone carries them.

There is a vague derivation that relates the 'palat khik' to the hindu God Shiva ...

Palat Khik mean literally 'funny friend'. Usually the phallus is enormous in relation to the 'person' of the sculpture

Here is one prominently displayed on a street stall.






Do you think these are what leskey was referring to when she mentioned 'bizarre angels' ... rotflmao

cool bananas ... greg

•Orchestrated Reduction Of Quantum Coherence In Brain Microtubules: A Model For Consciousness?

For those who are seriously exploring 'consciousness' check this out!

The Hameroff/Penrose OR Theory which considers OR (objective reduction) and SR (subjective reduction). They are discussing this on scientific terms whereas I have been discussing the actual experience.

Leskey I have some pertinent statements at home so will wait til I return there to retreive them.......too many interruptions here to retrace my steps!! Plus this laptop is contankerous and not up to par with my system at home!.....lol
