J. Alfred Prufrock presents and enligtened man who is in a quandary as he's seated in a full lotus. "Do I dare move. Do I dare change the universe?" Meanwhile, even by his very thoughts and physical inactions, his breathing and metabolism, he is effecting the universe, permanently. Making it different than it would be were it not for his sentient being.
You have the kitchen, Michael. You built it yourself with some help several years back. YOu have all the cooks and their books. You have all the ingredients. You have several adequate recipes. You don't quite yet have all of everyone's ducks marching to J.P. Sousa. But, would you know when it was time to call a meeting to order regarding the remaiing chore of editing what you've got on the records? Would you know if you'd gathered enough information for a triage and an assessment?
There is more than one way to make a full course dinner with which to provision the gathering of members and guests. Why not present several full course dinners, as you do, IMHO, already have. There is more than one way to host a an entirely well appointed banquet. Why not host several?
Please get back to me about Lao Tzu's Butterfly theory, the book 'Chaos', and J. Alfred Prufrock. Sir.
Best regards to you and yours,

The butterfly theory is not a theory to me,it is a fact and a consequence of life,and the
effects that are engendered in the process of this motioning!

Dear Michael:
Until James Geick's 'Chaos' ( and other 'New Sciences') was recently published, Laso Tzu's multi millennia aged butterfly 'theory', relative to Western ST was an esoterically stuffed, exotic Chinese philosopher's egg roll. It is now - only recently and quite remarkably - a proven fact. The ubiquitous connection of the very small with the very large is undeniably epitomized.
'Discontinuity' is subordinate to illusion. Universal atonement is redeemed. The continuous role of consciousness in T.O.E. is empirically amended. It shows in major portions of what you - and many others (at T.O.E. alone) write routinely, in my personal experience.
It is also established that the post black hole hysteria of the 7th Cavalry's over the hill gang hatched string theory rests on non metric spatially discontinuous mathematics, obtaining back stage passes for its ST touted 'elegance'. The professional wreckage of the 'big bang' has epicycled and deferred itself to a reengaged Cosmological Constant. No one that I know of at the Physical Science Journal or Scientific American seems to have noticed that the jack in the box cartel is remiss in its philosophical and empirical duties.
The strong and weak nuclear binding forces have emerged as earlier moments in the pejoratively ignored, universally incumbent 4-D space time continuum. Reducing the 'four universal forces' to a retainer that asks if there are any forces at all.
Please excuse me sir, I just woke up, I thought I had more messages from you, and sequentially accumulated, than my computer presently records. Are you angry with me?

Dear Michael:
Yes. I was attempting to send you a PM. And in my ignorance was unable, until you just enabled me to do that. Thank you very much for allowing for that.
Respecfully,

The butterfly theory is as I said previously,not a theory to me,but an acual fact.
Interconnectivity is the operative word here,when a blue whale exhales here in the ocean
it effects plasma condencing within a planet orbiting a sun,that is a billion light years from
earth-simultaneosly!Time/space/distance,are all cancelled,which is no "real" problem when you realize that "they" are all illusions in the first place!
Every aspect of phemonenal existence within the physical universe is connected and
touching,there are NO gaps,NO spaces,Absolute instantaneous connectivity or AIC for
short.
The butterfly effect is a beautiful way of describing this realty.

Couldn't agree with you more. Continuity - 'waveicles' - squared.

Absolutely so RP,On rare occasions we are priviliged to witness this synchronous effect
unfold to demonstrate this interconnectivity,two years ago while swimming in the sea
in Turkey,I saw two bees drowning in the water,I had a comb in my shorts,which i took out,placed it under the bees,and lifted them out of the water,I took them to the shore
and gently placed them on the dry ground,after a "wash and brush up" both bees seemed
to take off,fly up to my face level,"look at me for a moment" then flew off.
Now later that day,while out walking with my wife,I stopped to look into a garden,I said to the man weeding there,what a lovely productive garden you have,he smiled,called to his
wife,who brought out a large jar of fresh honey,and handed it to me,Take this he said,
it will sweeten your tea! At once I felt that those two bees,had been in touch???

You have a way about you, Michael...
Two of my favorite critters are bees and whales and I've heard you subject them both in our brief but eventful acquaintance. Incidentally, you may or not know, hornets are carnivorous and raid bee's colonies - not for the honey, but to kill and eat the bees. Hornets also have a way of circling down a column of sweet air in a stalking pattern for bees, which are often found in and around sweet things. Bee's find sweet things by the same method of the downward following of sensed columns of air. Sometimes your cologne or after shave...
Bee don't want any trouble - the honey gatherers are all female by the way. Hornets on the other hand (are all male) will hit you just for the hell of it; are consequently one of the few critters I'll go out of my way to perish. A person has to be careful when drinking sweet beverages that they don't swallow a bee or hornet, it can kill you on the way down to your stomach - the stings swell up and you can be asphyxiated. Especially by hornets who can hit you indefinitely, whereas a bee has but one sting which is attached to a part of their innards, which they lose - and die for the loss of - when they sting. YOu probly know all this anyway.
On one occasion I was semi lotused solo in the forest. A humming bird landed on my left shoulder and looked me over for about 30 seconds (a long time for a humming bird). Talking eye contact here. Native Americans consider HB's a good omen - they are associated with the presence of 'God'.
