Many of Stills' songs on the album echo his marital problems ( Chapter 60 Agrippa on Melancholy ) , with "Dark Star" returning to the Latin rhythms he had favored all the way back to his Buffalo Springfield days. Crosby continued the existential probings consistent with much of his past work, and Nash offered both a radio-ready acoustic ballad with "Just a Song Before I Go", and an elaborate set piece re-creating a vision of an LSD experience that he had in Winchester Cathedral with "Cathedral". Many tracks were sweetened with a string section, a first on a CSNY project

Track listing

Side One


cathedral by crosby, stills & nash - YouTube

Six o' clock
In the morning I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes who came to conquer

Seven o'clock
In the morning here it comes I taste the warning
And I'm so amazed I'm here today
Seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way to Stonehenge

[Instrumental (Piano)]

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
And a feeling deep inside of me
Tells me this can't be the place

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Savior
Made me say
I can't stay

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high

[Instrumental (Strings)]

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
But given time
I'll be fine

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
Too many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high

Dear Mr. Fantasy lyrics
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

You are the one who can make us all laugh
Doing this, you break down in tears
Please, don't be sad if it was a straight life you had
None of us would've known you all the years

Each time you choose to sing the rock and roll blues
You take everybody's loneliness with you
What do you lose each time you face down a room?
All of us see how it changes through you

So sing of the ocean of tears you have sailed
Of strangers and lovers that took you
All of us sailed and all of us failed
In one way, we don't ever hear you

Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

Have you seen the work of Rob Bryanton?
Imagining the Tenth Dimension - A Book by Rob Bryanton

His theory has opened my eyes in many ways. It has been very helpful in the transition from knowing and believing to understanding, unifying old and new beliefs about 'how things work' expressed in terms of dimensions. It demonstrates how and why everything is true, but why you recieve only what you think is plausible and why that is the real 'truth' in my case or your case, although all possibilities are there if you or me want them to. I strongly recommend anyone to watch his film strips on Youtube about the dimensions, in order from the first dimension to the tenth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV47Mcmo25I

When you see that 3rd dimension is like a cubical frame in a film strip, and that the 4th dimension, time, is not progression but duration for different objects within each cubicle, you can see how each 3D frame is frozen in time just like the squares in a film but depending on how energy like thoughts and action has impact on duration and effect on what to happen next in the next cubical frame of 'now' moments.

Imagine the lightbulb in a film projector, sending it's energy into each frame of the film strip that rapidly passes through the light ray of 'now'. That is your spirit, flowing through the physical body of 'you' through each cubical moment of 'now'. Yours and others actions direct energy within the 'now' moment that leads to new or unchanged events in the next cubical 'now'.

The 5th dimension is all potential, possible or 'impossible' events as a result of how the energy in the 3D now moment are directed. The next cubical is the most probable one as a result from the energy directions within the preceeding one.

Our actions has impact in the 5th dimension. I finish my cup of coffee. In the 5th dimension, the most probable event is that my cup now is empty. Therefore, the cubicle with the empty cup will occur in front of my spirit to shine through.

Or, I do not drink all of my coffee. Then the cubicle where some of it remains in my cup is the most probable event given duration, to let my spirit shine through.

This explains the mechanism behind free will. Free will is choices made in the 5th dimension that reflects what will occur in the 3rd.

This explains the mechanisms behind things like law of attraction and why decisions can do 'wonders'. It explains how to make wine out of water.

But does this explain likelihood and probability? If this was true, wouldn't everyone be free to ride a flying pig if the just imagined that they would? Yes they would, and yes, there are limitations. Probability is not a limitation, it's just an indicator for the actual moment of 'truth'. Think fractals. The fractals of the present 'now' cubical frame contains infinite smaller cubes. Each one of us occupy one of those cubes. Depending on how we use our energy like thoughts and action, we can move to different fractal cubes within the great 'now' cubical progression in the 'time' film strip. Different fractals contain different probabilities. By moving from one fractal to the one next to us, we can elevate probability from let's say 10% to 11% that we can walk on water, if we try. Thoughts are energy, just like actions.

As we share the big 'now' cubical in 3D with everyone else, our different positions within the fractals alters the alignment of the big cube each time one of us moves between the fractals. The 'point of gravity' of the collective cube alters, make it turn in some direction to some degree, and align with another next 'now' cube in 5D. Our next moment of 'now' which our light shine through is a slightly different one than the one it would have been if nobody had changed fractal cube during the transition of the film strip.

This explain the mechanism of miracle. One person with the ability to put in a high energy level into his or her thought, can instantly travel to a fractal far away and create a miracle, which will align the collective cube with a next one where the miracle has duration. A too weak thought can be balanced out by other's opposing thoughts thereby preventing the miracle to occur, so it takes a strong mindset to achieve things in opposition with 'common sense'. That is what we recognize as 'probability'.

What we can't do is break through into 6th dimension. In 6D it's possible to go to any of the infinite number of possible 'now' cubicles that is or isn't connected to our present 'now' and which we might or might not align with. Our body can't travel from our present 3D 'now' to one where things not connected to our present situation occur. But our spirit can. We can do astral travel to places of low probability, measured by our present 3D location. To be able to travel, we have to move to the 3D fractal where the possibility is high enough to be the most probable outcome. And of course, other beings in this 6D environment can travel to us and visit us, if we allow it as probable through our current fractal position.

In 7D, where any variation of forces in nature are allowed, you might find beings that no longer have to be contained in any 'occasion cubicle' and are free to act as they please. If they want, they are free to be the light that gives a physical body the necessary energy, a costume to recieve experience from. XBox 360 get's boring after a while, let's try something else. Micro and macro cosmos, fractals...

OURANOS has a more majestic intonation to it






Is the "nos" in "nostalgia" of the same origin as the "nos" in "nosotros"? - spanish etymology nosotros | Ask MetaFilter

I wasn't sure about the "nos" part. The OED says it comes from the ancient Greek "nostos":

"ancient Greek νόστος return home, in Hellenistic Greek as plural Νόστοι also the title of a lost poem of the Epic Cycle dealing with the return of the Greeks from the Trojan War < an ablaut variant of the base of νεῖσθαι to return home (cognate with Sanskrit nas- to consort together, astam home, Old English nesan to escape, be saved, survive, Gothic -nisan (in ganisan to be saved, healed), and perhaps Tocharian B nes- to be) + -τος, suffix forming nouns."

The Sanskrit "nas" ("to consort together") sounds like it could be related to "nosotros," but I'm not sure about the primary Greek origin they mention here.

From #3503:


A granite stone has an energy direction flow just as a human body has. It also has negative and positive reflection sides. Building a house in stone, the builder may have the positive reflection side turned inwards and the negative turned outwards in order to 'scare off' people from the outside and making it unpleasant to hang around the place. It will project upon the surrounding area too. A ruin, an old bishop's mansion from the 1500's has these properties, as well as a constructed negative reflection inside the prison cell. Each room can be tuned as wanted, if the granite rocks one by one are placed in a manner taking consideration to it's energetic properties.

This manner of building houses became unmodern during the rise of the new science in the 1700's. But up to the early 1900's most houses still were built at least with consideration to the Hartmann grid, with walls placed upon the lines as they may interfere with biorythms. They alter the size and state of the aura, when in direct contact with a living creature.

Good reading you Michael C .... and as usual ..... you provide us with some sweet treats

[Michael C]

From #3503:

found the following as you mentioned Granite :

Ah yes, it's something about that material. A dowser who can recognize the energy from a Hartmann line could do some experimenting further with this. The line has a dominant polarity even though both polarities exist within it, and it will shift daily at about each 56-57 minutes. The energy will raise and fall in intensity with the moon phases and 'go wild' during equinoxes.

A material like a metal placed on the energy line will create a pattern, like a 'sun' with radiating ray of different polarity or even pusles, like AC electrics. Different materials create different patterns. constellations of material may establish stable lines which do not shift polarity each hour. A few materials can break the energy line or interrupt it in the area of that material only. Two materials together may create totally new patterns.

The earth could be used as a circuit board where different materials can act as electronic components. We can build anything to process any information with very low-grade equipment if we understand this technology. Someone once did, which menhirs, Stonehenge etc gives evidence of.

Now, some materials act in a similar way. There are three materials that has the same effect on a Hartmann line. Gold, granite and amber. Metal, mineral and organic 'gold'? There is perhaps also a living gold with crystalline dispositions but with partly the same origins as amber, which is honey. Good substitute if your local dealer once again are out of those small bottles of ormus? Place a copper spiral in honey (the firm kind bound with sugar crystals, not fluid or processed honey) and investigate the energy signature!

Results of an experimental investigation of the acoustics and fluid dynamics of Tibetan singing bowls. Their acoustic behaviour is rationalized in terms of the related dynamics of standing bells and wine glasses. Striking or rubbing a fluid-filled bowl excites wall vibrations, and concomitant waves at the fluid surface. Acoustic excitation of the bowl's natural vibrational modes allows for a controlled study in which the evolution of the surface waves with increasing forcing amplitude is detailed. Particular attention is given to rationalizing the observed criteria for the onset of edge-induced Faraday waves and droplet generation via surface fracture. Our study indicates that drops may be levitated on the fluid surface, induced to bounce on or skip across the vibrating fluid surface.

The Six Keys of Eudoxus (Alchemy)

EUDOXUS = EUXODUS

The Exodus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Summary

See Exodus 13 and following chapters

The Book of Exodus tells how Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness to Mount Sinai, where God reveals himself and offers them a Covenant: they are to keep his torah (i.e. law, instruction), and in return he will be their god and give them the land of Canaan. The Book of Leviticus records the laws of God. The Book of Numbers tells how the Israelites, led now by their God, journey onwards from Sinai towards Canaan, but when their spies report that the land is filled with giants they refuse to go on. God then condemns them to remain in the desert until the generation that left Egypt passes away. After thirty-eight years at the oasis of Kadesh Barnea the next generation travel on to the borders of Canaan. The Book of Deuteronomy tells how, within sight of the Promised Land, Moses recalls their journeys and gives them new laws. His death (the last reported event of the Torah) concludes the 40 years of the exodus from Egypt.

[MonsieurM]

The Fifth Key

The Fifth Key includes the Fermentation of the Stone with the perfect body, to make therof the medicine of the Third order. I will say nothing in particular of the operation of the Third work; except that the Perfect Body is a necessary leaven of Our Paste. And that the Spirit ought to make the union of the paste with the leaven in the same manner as water moistens meal, and dissolves the leaven to compose a fermented paste fit to make bread. This comparison is very proper; Hermes first made it, saying, that as a paste cannot be fermented without a ferment; so when you shall have sublimed, cleansed and separated the foulness from the Faeces, and would make the conjunction, put a ferment to them and make the water earth, that the paste may be made a ferment; which repeats the instruction of the whole work, and shows, that just so as the whole lump of the paste becomes leaven, by the action of the ferment which has been added, so all the philosophic confection becomes, by this operation, a leaven proper to ferment a new matter, and to multiply it to infinity. If you observe well how bread is made, you will find the proportions also, which you ought to keep among the matters which compose our philosophical paste. Do not the bakers put more meal than leaven, and more water than the leaven and the meal? The laws of Nature are the rules you ought to follow in the practice of our magistery. I have given you, upon the principal point, all the instructions which are necessary for you, so that it would be superfluous to tell you more of it; particularly concerning the last operations, about which the Adepts have been less reserved than at the First, which are the foundations of the Art.


The Sixth Key

The Sixth Key teaches the Multiplication of the Stone, by the reiteration of the same operation, which consists but in opening and shutting, dissolving and coagulating, imbibing and drying; whereby the virtues of the Stone are infinitely augmentable. As my design has been not to describe entirely the application of the three medicines, but only to instruct you in the more important operations concerning the preparation of Mercury, which the philosophers commonly pass over in silence, to hide the mysteries from the profane which are only intended for the wise, I will tarry no longer on this point, and will tell you nothing more of what relates to the Projection of the Medicine, because the success you expect depends not thereon. I have not given you very full instructions except on the Third Key, because it contains a long train of operations which, though simple and natural, require a great understanding of the Laws of Nature, and of the qualities of Our Matter, as well as a perfect knowledge of chemistry and of the different degrees of heat which are fitting for these operations. I have conducted you by the straight way without any winding; and if you have well minded the road which I have pointed out to you, I am sure that you will go straight to the end without straying. Take this in good part from me, in the design which I had of sparing you a thousand labours and a thousand troubles, which I myself have undergone in this painful journey for want of an assistance such as this is, which I give you from a sincere heart and a tender affection for all the true sons of science. I should much bewail, if, like me, after having known the true matter, you should spend fifteen years entirely in the work, in study and in meditation, without being able to extract out of the Stone the precious juice which it encloses in its bosom, for want of knowing the secret fire of the wise, which makes to run out of this plant (dry and withered in appearance) a water which wets not the hands, and which by a magical union of the dry water of the sea of the wise, is dissolved into a viscous water --- into a mercurial liquor, which is the beginning, the foundation, and the Key of our Art: Convert, separate, and purify the elements, as I have taught you, and you will possess the true Mercury of the philosophers, which will give you the fixed Sulphur and the Universal Medicine. But I give you notice, moreover, that even after you shall be arrived at the knowledge of the Secret Fire of the Wise, yet still you shall not attain your point at your first career. I have erred many years in the way which remains to be gone, to arrive at the mysterious fountain where the King bathes himself, is made young again, and retakes a new life exempt from all sorts of infirmities. Besides this you must know how to purify, to heal, and to animate the royal bath; it is to lend you a hand in this secret way that I have expatiated under the Third Key, where all those operations are described. I wish with all my heart that the instructions which I have given you may enable you to go directly to the End. But remember, ye sons of philosophy, that the knowledge of our Magistery comes rather by the Inspiration of Heaven than from the Lights which we can get by ourselves. This truth is acknowledged by all artists; it is for good reason that it is not enough to work; pray daily, read good books, and meditate night and day on the operations of Nature, and on what she may be able to do when she is assisted by the help of our Art; and by these means you will succeed without doubt in your undertaking. This is all I have now to say to you. I was not willing to make you such a long discourse as the matter seemed to demand; neither have I told you anything but what is essential to our Art; so that if you know the Stone which is the only matter of Our Stone, and if you have the Understanding of Our Fire, which is both secret and natural, you have the Keys of the Art, and you can calcine Our Stone; not by the common calcination which is made by the violence of fire, but by a philosophic calcination which is purely natural. Yet observe this, with the most enlightened philosophers, that there is this difference between the common calcination which is made by the force of Fire and the natural calcination; that the first destroys the body and consumes the greatest part of its radical humidity; but the second does not only preserve the humidity of the body in calcining it, but still considerably augments it. Experience will give you knowledge in the Practice of this great truth, for you will in effect find that this philosophical calcination, which sublimes and distills the Stone in calcining it, much augments its humidity; the reason is that the igneous spirit of the natural fire is corporified in the substances which are analogous to it. Our stone is an Astral Fire which sympathizes with the Natural Fire, and which, as a true Salamander receives it nativity, is nourished and grows in the Elementary Fire, which is geometrically proportioned to it.

[MonsieurM]

The Fourth Key ( 13 )

The Fourth Key of the Art is the entrance to the Second Work (and a reiteration in part and development of the foregoing): it is this which reduces our Water into Earth; there is but this only Water in the world, which by a bare boiling can be converted into Earth, because the Mercury of the Wise carries in its centre its own Sulphur, which coagulates it. The terrification of the Spirit is the only operation of this work. Boil them with patience; if you have proceeded well, you will not be a long time without perceiving the marks of this coagulation; and if they appear not in their time, they will never appear; because it is an undoubted sign that you have failed in some essential thing in the former operations; for to corporify the Spirit, which is our Mercury, you must have well dissolved the body in which the Sulphur which coagulates the Mercury is enclosed. But Hermes assumes that our mercurial water shall obtain all the virtues which the philosophers attribute to it if it be turned into earth. An earth admirable is it for fertility -- the Land of Promise of the Wise, who, knowing how to make the dew of Heaven fall upon it, cause it to produce fruits of an inestimable price. Cultivate then diligently this precious earth, moisten it often with its own humidity, dry it as often, and you will no less augment its virtue than its weight and its fertility.

for old time sake ...... a little 3 6 9 play on an Alchemical treaty

The Six Keys of Eudoxus (Alchemy)

The First Key

3. This Stone has a bright glittering: it contains a Spirit of a sublime original; it is the Sea of the Wise, in which they angle for their mysterious Fish.



6. Hence, Hermes says, What is born of the Crow is the beginning of this Art. Consider that it is by separation of the black, foul, and stinking fume of the Blackest Black that our astral, white, and resplendent Stone is formed, which contains in its veins the blood of the Pelican. It is at this First Purification of the Stone, and at this shining whiteness, that the work of the First Key is ended.

The Second Key

3. Without the sublimation of the Stone, the conversion of the Elements and the extraction of the Principles is impossible; and this conversion, which makes Water of Earth, Air of Water, and Fire of Air, is the only way whereby our Mercury can be prepared.

The Third Key

3. This is the Intention, and the essential point of the Operations of this Key, which terminate at the generation of a new substance infinitely nobler than the First.

6. This advice opens the eyes of those, who, to make an exact purification of the Elements and of the Principles, persuade themselves that they must only take the subtile and cast away the heavy. But Hermes says that power of it is not integral until it be turned into earth; neither ought the sons of science to be ignorant that the Fire and the Sulphur are hidden in the centre of the Earth, and that they must wash it exactly with its spirit, to extract out of it the Fixed Salt, which is the Blood of our Stone. This is the essential Mystery of the operation, which is not accomplished till after a convenient digestion and a slow distillation.

12. It is therefore necessary to dissolve the body entirely to extract all its humidity which contains the precious ferment, the sulphur, that balm of Nature, and wonderful unguent, without which you ought not to hope ever to see in your vessel this blackness so desired by all the philosophers. Reduce then the whole compound into water, and make a perfect union of the volatile with the fixed; it is a precept of Senior's, which deserves attention, that the highest fume should be reduced to the lowest; for the divine water is the thing descending from heaven, the reducer of the soul to its body, which it at length revives.

15. The second is the compound of Art; it is the Wise man who makes it by the secret union of the fixed with the volatile, perfectly conjoined with all prudence, which cannot be acquired but by the lights of a profound philosophy.

18. The water which ascends by distillation carries up with it a part of this fiery salt, so that the affusion of the water on the body, reiterated many times, impregnates, fattens, and fertilizes our Mercury, and makes it fit to be fixed, which is the end of the second Work.

21. Others have taught that the White Mercury is the bath of the Moon, and that the Red Mercury is the bath of the Sun. But there are none who have been willing to show distinctly to the Sons of Science by what means they may get these two mercuries. If you apprehend me well, you have the point already cleared up to you.

24. Behold a great Mystery which I reveal to you without an enigma; this is the secret of the two mercuries which contain the two tinctures. Keep them separately, and do not confound their species, for fear they should beget a monstrous Lineage.

27. Hermes says, that there is so much sympathy between the purified bodies and the spirits, that they never quit one another when they are united together: because this union resembles that of the soul with the glorified body; after which Faith tells us, there shall be no more separation or death; because the spirits desire to be in the cleansed bodies, and having them, they enliven and dwell in them.
