An Invitation to a Gathering

[Tarina]

... as Greybeard determined there was something not right about graham with conversations with leskey both cold sober and condensed on the Planck to where they could not be determined separate (possibly a strange mating feature of such creatures Austin thought) they decided to put graham out in space before he gave everyone a sunburn.

and shortly after, sure enough, this image was captured by a back yard viewer of the heavens as graham blew up.

the resulting energy release in vortical spin to near the last place he had been was of course his island in the sky over the north pole near a Many world Pub portal and his Island was broke in two micro moments before he was molecularly reassembled hanging in a tree near his log cabin.


and in the untouched nor altered photo above take by sage shows part of his secret is now free to float over the earth ... unwittingly though the devastation of the energy emit hitting the earth below as the smoke indicates in the picture, only roasted the singular moose someone had lost in a chase and Katrina howled in delight she was going to finally get fed real food if Tarina didn't smell it first and sage would only let her off the leash for a few moments... (she does have big teeth being part wolf and all.)...

Hey! I don't eat moose-meat, but yet my sense of smell was very intigued indeed!! Graham, you hamster-brain! Why I otta put you on a spit and stick an apple in your mouth, and we could eat you at the Gathering!!!! I must say everyone, that my last statement was intended to be a joke.......no hard feelings okay my friend G?...........Tarina

[G_burnett]

Graham! This is one of those times I was telling you about. Where I feel like a tiny-minded person, like a speck in the night sky....I really could not understand what you just said. But thanks anyways, I'm sure there are those that do.......Tarina

As Tarina came back to the gathering and tried to catch up with the news but still filling the effects of silly pills levitating her to not feel alien experiments done to her knee she let her mind wonder over some of the postings but the side effects of the silly pills would not let her focus.... as usual, all her six eyes on one subject.

...the French to English submittal by graham was just a bad translation service he used on Windows and had no real meaning beyond that comic depiction to understand .. even though he had written it off as just the bad French accent of Austin the translation difficulties and result raising varied ponder in the lesser of minds by the way some of the words seem to translate.. just a good chuckle to some the hope as pubs are a good place to chuckle in and no offense meant to mister chuckle or lesser minds not on silly pills ..

Robert attending the back room gathering in the pub told labelwench that the silk ties were fine but to perhaps consider the application of a feather instead of a riding crop for a while in her instruction of graham ...she of course decided to try ice cubes.... results of which would be known later as the backroom door closed...

At the Gathering, the atmosphere of the ongoing and exhilarating elation showed in the enthusiasm and eagerness of the participants, heightening their already intrinsic AND extensive pep, vim and zing born from their deep rapturous joy of life and the quest for the TOE. (Sorry if no one understands this sentence as it is already in English.)

Leskey, Graybeard, Graham, Melanie, Mikal, Wick, TimeParticle, Profpat, Linda, Labelwench, Robert, Tarina, Austin and even more ToeQuestors were all out on the dance floor, spinning and whirling and twirling in this glorious convergence of life and being on a planet near a star named Sol in the arm of a galaxy called the Milky Way which was in the middle of nowhere out in space near Andromeda in a cluster of galaxies in a very large universe that was one of many universes in the sea of possibility.

Driving disco beat footwork music alternated with the slow romantic dance movements as Austin thought he just might run way from home, not being able to afford his house anymore, but to someplace much warmer than this and his, to a tropical island perhaps where his cousin had a pot plantation.

A little cricket named ‘Crick’ danced with his sweetheart, ‘Kit’, having come here to the conference from another thread. Even two horses danced about, one named Caramel.

Entranced in their dalliance, one couple whispered some sweet somethings to each other such as “There is a love in me raging” and “It is a joyous, magical feeling”…

Yanni and his orchestra came out and performed ‘Jivaeri (Jiva-Eri)’ and many more songs, as all thought “What more could a human being want from this beautiful life?”

Oh, ces merveilles que nous voici!

[austintorn@aol.com]

After Yanni’s performance, Deep Forest came out and sang ‘Marta’s Song’, ‘Sweet Lullaby’ and more, followed by E Nomine with the amazing ‘Spiegelbilder’ and ‘Vater Unser Part II (Psalm 23)’, followed by the haunting but calming sounds of ‘Say What You Will’ by Damhnait Doyle. An intermission arrived.

That music and love could reach such heights of emotional insight and passion was yet again the proof and the truth of the glory of the human condition… and so we thank all who those have come before in the procession of evolution over so many years.

“So, the universe feeds back unto itself?” Tarina wondered aloud.

The evening’s presenter overheard her and suggested, “It is like what the mind does, ever learning and reforming both its software and its hardware, from which platform it can continue onward to perform the same kind of growth of its own reality, and love does it, too.”

“Love, too?” Tarina inquired, “As in growing toward the Ultimate?”

He replied, “Yes. Like living lenses and mirrors, we reflect our love, back and forth, ever giving, in ever increasing feedback loops, and so these images and happenings spiral above and beyond and back, echoing as infinite reflections in the boundless realm, filling up the scene with love’s rainbow, and so on and so forth.”

“Yes,” Tarina responed, her voice echoing and reverbrating in the large hall, “That is what love is made of!”

The Dynamic Duo of Yin and Yang

Our never-the-less real reality is brought forth
By our consciousness, which, paradoxically,
Is just as real. It’s just that reality, although definite,
Is malleable in that it is part of a feedback loop.

For example, we created the beginnings of the universe
Which in turn evolved into us.

There is an actual realm of instantiation
As well as a possible realm of information,
Each of which can reformulate the other.

This gives direction to what otherwise
Would have been too fortuitous to be here.

There would be more dancing soon. The questions continued…

“What then is the future of the universe as it continues to evolve and reshape itself?” asked Graham. “Does it become Almighty?”

“Yes, the single future universal mind forms. This replaces out notion of “God”, for this Great System of Mind was not of our past but is in our future. The direction to look for this is forward, not backwards.”


The intermission ended and the entertainment continued, more dancing to follow.

A scene from ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ was played out, the one in which horses race through a misty graveyard. All were quite surprised to see them galloping across the room. Some people threw their drinks away.

It was time for the midnight mini-lecture, which was not ‘Watch Out for Children’, but:

The Fall of Space-Time
And the Decline of Playing Dice?

Our 3D mode may not be the end-all and be-all of our physical reality. A deeper reality may lie beneath, from which our 3D home emerges. Why? Nonlocality. Twin-born entangled particle pairs may correlate in their behavior when observed since they are actually still the same particle on some other level, as may be any entangled particles.

What we thought Einstein got right (Relativity/Locality) could be wrong and what we thought he got wrong (the EPR Paradox) could be right.

Entanglement may connect particles irrespective of where they are, what they are and what forces they may exert on one another—in principle, they could perfectly well be an electron and a neutron on opposite sides of the galaxy. Thus, entanglement makes for a kind of intimacy amid matter previously undreamt of.

…And so the actual physical world is nonlocal. Period.

…The kind of nonlocality one encounters in quantum mechanics seems to call for an absolute simultaneity, which would pose a very real and ominous threat to [Einstien’s] special relativity.

…What is uncanny about the way that quantum-mechanical particles can nonlocally influence one another is that it does not depend on the particles' spatial arrangements or their intrinsic physical characteristics…but only on whether or not the particles in question are quantum mechanically entangled with one another.

…The trouble is that special relativity tends to mix up space and time in a way that transforms quantum-mechanical entanglement among distinct physical systems into something along the lines of an entanglement among physical situations at different times—something that in a perfectly concrete way exceeds or eludes or has nothing to do with any sum of situations at distinct temporal instants.

…Quantum-mechanical wave functions cannot be represented mathematically in anything smaller than a mind-bogglingly high-dimensional space called a configuration space. If, as some argue, wave functions need to be thought of as concrete physical objects, then we need to take seriously the idea that the world's history plays itself out not in the three-dimensional space of our everyday experience or the four-dimensional spacetime of special relativity but rather this gigantic and unfamiliar configuration space, out of which the illusion of three-dimensionality somehow emerges. Our three-dimensional idea of locality would need to be understood as emergent as well. The nonlocality of quantum physics might be our window into this deeper level of reality.

…The music came back on and Graham asked Carly to dance…[/FONT]

[austintorn@aol.com]

A.Torney asked his lovely new namesake, Ms. Tarina “Torn-knee” to dance once again and they took to the floor.

“The world beyond them shrunk to a planck length as they merged in thought and floated on air, saving her recently surgeried knee from any strain. (She was supposed to stay off it and keep it raised up for several days.) Tarina held them both aloft with her power, as she was part angel, being of the bloodline of the miraculous one and his beloved, M.M.

E Nomine played the comforting ‘Die Posaunen Von Jericho’, which gave everyone the feeling of camaraderie, solidarity and success.

(If you download any of the songs that I have mentioned herein, you will be blessed with a great emotional lift of feeling from the music).

[Tarina]

Mr. Torn-knee would you like to sail to heights never before reached by you as of yet? Tarina asked Austin as they were floating, and spinning in a gyrythmic motion all were entranced by the sight of two souls travelling down the path of ever-lasting love and light...........

[austintorn@aol.com]

Yes.




"Yes," Austin replied to Tarina.

Ascending ever onward, their love ambitions continued ever forward, and rose over a mile high, as like the mists that drift upward each morning from the dew that kisses the flowers, outlining the daydreams, although they’re still forming, and then rising into the clear sunlight and taking shape, sculpting clouds, Austin and Tarina sailing on those clouds of soft-pillowed fluffy oceans in the sky.

It was time for another mini-lecture, even though it was getting late, for all could sleep until noon and beyond, the next day.

The Seed of Life

Mikey was a unicellular microorganism, a microbe, one of the bacteria that were called “extremopiles”, for they were capable of living in extreme environmental conditions of temperature, pH. salinity, pressure, dryness, radiation, and even with no sunlight or oxygen. They even loved chomping on plutonium, the deadliest substance ever known. Mikey’s ancestry went back 4 billion years, he being among the sturdiest creatures on Earth that had also become its master, for humans couldn’t live for but a few minutes without bacteria.

Mikey thought that he might go to Enceladus for a balmy vacation where life was easy but always with a pool and party not too far away. Enceladus is a small satellite of Saturn and is a geologically active moon world with some wondrous scenery of spouting volcanic plumes, perhaps even having a pool of water within and below,

Just about then, a huge meteor impact stuck the Earth and thrust some material into space, including and friends, who resided dormant in a rock that protected them by acting as a shield against solar radiation and cosmic rays, not that this would have bothered them that much. Eons later Mikey and friends and their rock of a spaceship landed on Enceladus.

Mikey stepped out of the rock and onto a tiger-striped surface where the temperature was -359 degrees F. A tiny shiver almost began to undulate through him but he shrugged it off. He was hungry, though, not having eaten for millions of years—and so he was only running quickly at about half-speed. His friends followed excitedly, covering over a 100 kilometers in a few minutes. They paused to gobble up some dust.

They were taken aback for a millisecond when they spotted a restaurant with a sign that said ‘billions and billions of bacteria served here’.

“Hey, there is native life here, just as we expected” said Mikey. “What a tropical paradise. Hey, there are some hot springs. Let’s take a dip with the native girls and then kick back.”

They frolicked and swam all around for a few thousand years until a very large eruption sent them all far into space. After a billion years or so, they landed on the 4th planet from a sun in a solar system far away, seeding it with life that became human-like within a few more billion years, although there were some minor differences in anatomy.
