  1. Or you get Gilligan's Island.
  2. 78 cards in the deck
  3. @Cyniquewhat effect would you like to try with your next time marker. Also let me know the days and times you want to try it.
  4. Accelerate What would need to occur for that to become a reality?
  5. In a ten card reading how many permutations or different combinations in the spread. Hint it's a lot
  6. Yes but some have the aptitude and/or the interest. Just like playing piano or developing any other skillset.
  7. Taste and smell are linked. I like your train of thought.
  8. These are Extra Sensory Perceptions that are the parallels to the five senses. Clairvoyant - See Clairaudient - Hear Clairsentient - Feel Clairgustant - Taste
  9. What have you gotten?
  10. I believe a 3% mean s your apartment was rent stabilised. Commercial property has no such cap on increases. The problem for me was my income stayed the same for a decade. So even though my rent was low in 1997, apartment was becoming unaffordable.
  11. I knew a group of Japanese girls who named their band after their landlord. So not all landlord are evil
  12. So when I say a season, you can see it as a colour. I do a similar thing except instead of a colours, numbers have meanings to me. So instead of a season I am looking at a second of time. And that second tells me what the season is for the time following it. so In Spring you have an idea of what the weather will be , so I have an idea of what time will be like in the near future. If you can associate a relationship with a color, then you have created a correspondence system. I do the same thing. The only difference is that I have a few different categories that I use; Astrology , Tarot, Numbers, two synthetic languages or rather alphabets or symbol set. Plus I use these tools to read the unconscious mind since it seems to think in Symbols and stories.
  13. Three to the 8th power Not certain how this is measuring intelligence. You either get it right or you get it wrong. So there is no scale for using this "test" to determine intelligence. Aka 81 squared.
  14. No what I do is find the feeling external or mental state that I or the querent want to have then I calculate the time . Like I did for you when you answered all the Jeopardy questions. It was the time of understanding which was chosen for you.
  15. Okay So I go through my Rolodex of Time to find the Time that I want to visit me or a friend. Have you both lived in different cities which have shaped you differently? Was her career more of a traditional one versus being a writer?
  16. @Cynique Time Codes, Time Signatures, Time Notes, Rolodex of Times. What colour is Spring and Autumn? Do you and your friend have spirited conversations because the two of you have had a different philosophy, outlook or lifestyle?
  17. @Cynique When you write there's the informational content then there's the cadence, poetry and feel for the right word. It's the same with time makers. The idea is more mystical/ poetic than scientific. Think of describing your confusion as a colour. What is the colour?
  18. @Troy does time markers make sense to you?
  19. The following is from the Wisdom Library. https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/prana Source: gurumukhi.ru: Ayurveda glossary of terms Prāṇa (प्राण):—1. Vitality. 2. Breath of life , 3. Spirit 4. Life Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira Prāṇa (प्राण) refers to 4 seconds, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 2), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa)-Accordingly, “We shall now proceed to give a brief description of (the qualifications of) a jyotiṣaka. [...] He must have a correct, knowledge of a yuga (43,20,000 Solar years), varṣa (a solar year), āyana (6 solar months), ṛtu (2 solar months), māsa (a solar month), pakṣa (15 solar days), ahorātra (a solar day), yama (one-eighth of a solar day), muhūrta (one-thirtieth of a solar day), nāḍī (one-sixtieth of a solar day or 24 minutes), vināḍi (one sixtieth of a nāḍī or 24 seconds), prāṇa (4 seconds) truṭi (33, 75th of a second) and parts of a truṭi and other divisions of time and also of divisions of space”. Sanskrit dictionary Prāṇa (प्राण).—1 Breath, respiration. 2) The breath of life, vitality, life, vital air, principle of life 6) The spirit or soul 7) The Supreme Spirit 10) The life or essence of poetry, poetical talent or genius; inspiration 13) A breath as a measure of time. Note that Prana is both life force and related to Sidereal time of 4 seconds
  20. All below quotes are from Georges Ifrah's The Universal history of Numbers ARE THERE MYSTICAL REASONS FOR BASE 60? Sacred numbers played a major role in Mesopotamian civilisations; Sumerian mathematics developed in the context of number-mysticism; and so it is tempting to see some kind o freligious or mystical basis for the sexagesimal system. Sumerian mathematics, like astrology, cannot be disentangled from numerology, with which it has reciprocal relations. Therefore it is by no means impossible that certain of the Chinese number-signs may have had essentially magical or religious roots, and were directly related to an ancient Chinese number-mysticism. Each number sign, according to its graphical form, would have represented the “reality” of the corresponding number-form. Maya science was practised in the high temples: astronomy was what the priests did. Mayan achievements in astronomy, including the invention of one of the best calendars the world has ever seen, were part and parcel of their mystical and religious beliefs. The Maya did not think of time as a purely abstract means of ordering events into a methodical sequence. In fact, we will see that these major discoveries stem from the incessant study of astronomy, poetry, metric theory, literature, phonetics, grammar, philosophy or mysticism, and even astrology, cosmology and mythology all at once In short, Indian science was born out of a mystical and religious culture and the etymology ofthe Sanskrit words used to describe numbers and the science of numbers bears witness to this fact. Together, the discoveries in question represent the culmination of the uniqueness, wealth and incredible diversity ofIndian culture.
  21. Number 10 is actually Paul Robeson not Oscar Micheaux
