  1. There may be some parallels with the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.
  2. @Rodney campbell really wide ranging. How long did it take you to finish?
  3. How social is a person watching a tik tok video?
  4. Rodney I have been doing experiments with time both personally and with querents. So I am very excited to read your book.
  5. Numbers and symbols carry information for me. For instance I saw a license plat and the number said understand who you are talking to in a conversation. So if I choose to look the world is full of omens and signs. So in a way I get the information directly without someone else's filter or interpretation. Although I have to interpret the symbol. I was talking with a friends and she said the following. If you showed someone how to turn a word into a chart maybe it wouldn't work for them.
  6. Quite a lot of money and time is spent leaving reality: alcohol; drugs; movies; tv and gambling.
  7. The words I checked out were: Time; mind; Spirituality and I may have looked at Mother as well. I like to know stuff. The idea of asking an oracle a question and getting some type of answer, is an indescribable feeling. Looking at trending topics on the internet means I am not alone, in seeking answers. The only difference is subject matter.
  8. The querent get it because because it answers their questions. Or helps them to reframe an issue . I don't think a name change will result in more comprehension. A few Astrologers thought it was amazing but they still didn't understand it.
  9. If it is extra terrestrial and clearing the way then ipso facto it is divine. Recently I've been having more chats with Astrologers. The last couple are big thinkers an have said some cutting edge stuff. One of them is having a hard time understanding that I create charts from words to either understand the word more fully, or I use them with clients to answer their concerns.
  10. @Chevdove I have started reading this post. I had an idea that may be related to what you said about prophecy. If wisdom is hidden in poetry an open heart is more useful than a scientific mind. Which is why devotees seem to function on a different level.
  11. I already am I haven't look at 2023 although I am sure it would be more challenging than 2022, unless you adapt. Although I feel this will be a very good year for me. There are a few things percolating. I have been going more deeply into my experiments with time. I also have a Saturn Return. Which happens every 30 years or so. I am doing some meditation and magical excercises. I can't speak for everyone but for me I am certain time doesn't exist. What we call time is simply the movement of objects. Which we correlate with some counters, then we use other counters to check the accuracy of the counter. However the real arbiter of time is the Sun and by extension the seasons. In Australia the sesaon start at the beginning of the month not close to the 21st. Which is when the Sun enters the cardinal sign. Which are the following months Mar Jun Sep Dec. A day is from sunrise to sunset, which is the rotation of the earth. A week is one phase of the Moon The month is a day or two less than the revolution of the Moon. A Year is an orbit around the Sun. So I say that time time doesn't exist, but the measurements of clocks are informative no matter the type, analog atomic or Astrological. I find only goes quickly if I am working on a project.
  12. Probably because we are trying to combat by boredom by filling all of our available time. When I take public transportation nearly everyone is on their phone. I have also seen a few people having conversation while texting. Or scrolling through tik tok clips and then texting. So while we are filling the time I don't get the sense that it is fulfilling. The availability of something doesn't make it feel more precious. So we are stimulated more but we may be reaching our saturation point. We are living in the age of instant. So everything has to be done in minutes. If our clip doesn't load instantly we are annoyed. So technology has acclimated us for instant or near instant gratification. Which also means we have to do everything quickly. A good example is binge watching. We can get to the end more quickly. However like sex it's the journey and and anticipation that is thrilling. The ending is literally anticlimactic.
  13. In one of Minister Louis Farrakhan speeches about self sufficiency. He said Jeff a little if you have to. So thanks @KENNETH for your comment.
  14. When you read an astrological chart, you're interpreting the symbolic expression of space and time. Which may imply that information is encoded within time. Although I am starting to feel that time is information.
  15. My teachers I have said I walk to the beat of a different drummer.
  16. What demographic would buy the t-shirt?
  17. With the exception of grades 2 through 7 I've had some non white teachers.
  18. I was responding to the generality of your quote me I have nothing to say about Black unity that makes any difference
  19. Isn't that what visionaries do. I have wasted a lot of time on things most would say or pointless. Yet those things have shaped me: Night clubs; Astrology; Tarot and time markers. A friend once said', Time that you enjoy isn't wasted"
  20. You've come full circle or is that an 180 degree change?
  21. It changes after 40. Since there are less eligible men
  22. There have been a few socialites who were involved with men from a lower socioeconomic level. While it is difficult to determine motivations. I would say it may be that their partner offered something that was missing from their circle. Here's a brief biography of one such woman. https://www.npr.org/2007/07/21/12070489/nancy-cunard-rebellious-heiress-inspired-life Doris Duke is another. Who married Porfirio Rubirosa who was charming and had certain talents. He dated and wooed rich woman. Including Zsa Zsa Gabor
  23. There isn't enough political\social justice capital to make this happen.
