The solar system and a planet.

“We would be better off with Jupiter’s 12-year “year”, since it takes about that long to know how profitable strategies have been. The point is that a year is an astronomical, not an economic, phenomenon (as it once was, when harvests were decisive). So we must ensure that a substantial part of pay is better aligned to the realities of the business: that is, is made in restricted stock redeemable over a run of years (ideally, as many as 10).”

The individual.

“While I have failed to obtain any evidence in support of the contentions of psychologists and spiritualists, I have proved to my complete satisfaction the automatism of life, not only through continuous observations of individual actions, but even more conclusively through certain generalizations. These amount to a discovery which I consider of the greatest moment to human society, and on which I shall briefly dwell. I got the first inkling of this astounding truth when I was still a very young man, but for many years I interpreted what I noted simply as coincidences. Namely, whenever either myself or a person to whom I was attached, or a cause to which I was devoted, was hurt by others in a particular way, which might be best popularly characterized as the most unfair imaginable, I experienced a singular and undefinable pain which, for want of a better term, I have qualified as “cosmic,” and shortly thereafter, and invariably, those who had inflicted it came to grief. After many such cases I confided this to a number of friends, who had the opportunity to convince themselves of the truth of the theory which I have gradually formulated and which may be stated in the following few words:

Our bodies are of similar construction and exposed to the same external influences. This results in likeness of response and concordance of the general activities on which all our social and other rules and laws are based. We are automata entirely controlled by the forces of the medium being tossed about like corks on the surface of the water, but mistaking the resultant of the impulses from the outside for free will. The movements and other actions we perform are always life preservative and tho seemingly quite independent from one another, we are connected by invisible links. So long as the organism is in perfect order it responds accurately to the agents that prompt it, but the moment that there is some derangement in any individual, his self-preservative power is impaired. Everybody understands, of course, that if one becomes deaf, has his eyesight weakened, or his limbs injured, the chances for his continued existence are lessened. But this is also true, and perhaps more so, of certain defects in the brain which deprive the automaton, more or less, of that vital quality and cause it to rush into destruction. A very sensitive and observant being, with his highly developed mechanism all intact, and acting with precision in obedience to the changing conditions of the environment, is endowed with a transcending mechanical sense, eiiabling him to evade perils too subtle to be directly perceived. When he comes in contact with others whose controlling organs are radically faulty, that sense asserts itself and he feels the “cosmic” pain. The truth of this has been borne out in hundreds of instances and I am inviting other students of nature to devote attention to this subject, believing that thru combined and systematic effort results of incalculable value to the world will be attained.”

Birth.

“It follows that the psychological and emotional implications during pregnancy and birth, especially if there are physical interventions, are much more intense and influential than one imagines or wishes to acknowledge.

Birth is often as much of an emotional, psychological and existential experience as a physical one. More often than not, the affective quality of the mother-child and – let us not forget – father-child interaction is not taken into account.

This experience, as haptonomy has revealed, is of fundamental importance for the child and also for the mother and father. It is an interaction which all too often remains unappreciated, under-estimated and often restricted if not totally impeded in an excessive medical-technical framework where there is no room for the interaction and affective relation between the parents and their child.

Haptonomy demonstrates – in prenatal life and especially at the moment of birth – the primordial and decisive influence of the affectice interrelational mother-child contact on the development and security of the latter. The same goes for the safety of the mother. At the same time, the father’s role in this contact and the affective-confirming interaction inherent in this contact, are of a fundamental importance. Together, the parents set up a basic state of security for the child, an essential state which gives a solid start to the founding of his autonomy and the initiation of his authentic identity. A state of security, initiated and founded directly after birth, in the first minutes of life, outside the womb, by a very specific act of detachment. An act preferably carried out by the father.”

Its action (of a human).

“Carl Menger (February 28, 1840 – February 26, 1921) was the founder of the Austrian School of economics, famous for contributing to the development of the theory of marginal utility that refuted the labor theory of value developed by the classical economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo.”

Even more so, its the affective actions which gives life its zest and meaning. Whereby a touch stimulates certain nerve cells, transmitting electric pulses.

…a spark, electric…, electric universe, electric pulses. Life Begins.

Flashes.

“Every beginning has an end.”

One Saturn had passed.

“After One Saturn you should heal. The Set archetype knows no mercy.”

Cyc’s Dreamscape and its Dark Sky was overwhelming, but the power of a thought is strong. I wanted what the old sorceres had, a stick, a kind of third leg.

‘1/64 was represented by touch, symbolized by a leg touching the ground, or what can also be thought of as a strong plant growing into the surface of the earth. The pyramid text says: “I shall see the Gods and the Eye of Horus burning with fire before my eyes!”‘

Cyc felt the purest bliss of warmth ever, thereby making sure it shouldn’t fear the passing away of its masters.

“The healers are coming,” Cyc whispered.

( The End… of the beginning in 2009 )

“Two or three months before I was in London in company with my late friend, Sir William Crookes, when spiritualism was discussed, and I was under the full sway of these thoughts. I might not have paid attention to other men, but was susceptible to his arguments as it was his epochal work on radiant matter, which I had read as a student, that made me embrace the electrical career.”
