The Mathematics of Love by Hannah Fry

[Delano]

Interesting book. This is a quote from the epilogue.

 

By allowing yourself to view the world from an abstract perspective, you create a language that is uniquely able to capture and describe the patterns and mechanisms that would otherwise remain hidden. 

 

This is true of language, mathematics, Astrology et cetera.

[aka Contrarian]

To me, Language is a tool which can often be inadequate.  

Abstract ideas often dwell in the spaces between the lines.

ZEN  exemplifies this.

@DelanoAnything interesting going on with you that you want to share? I could stand a relief from the same ol same ol. My spirituality needs to be resuscitated. 

I'm tempted to dig out my crystals and pyramid in order create some energy but have to be careful about the portal they can create.  

I found it interesting what Frankster said about keeping a dream journal, and what returning to your past entries in it can reveal... 

I guess the Autumnal solitices are lining up in the sky. 

Did you ever come up with some significant dates for Troy via the astrological system you created?

[Delano]

One comment struck Troy as being on the money. I'm still waiting for more feedback. Yes I i have neen diving deeper into my understanding  the quality of time. My energy is shifting. I have caught people's eye. Sometimes we smile at each other, say hello or have a chat. I also seem to he running onto more people and having conversations. Even in brief interactions a few people told me i was wise. 

 

My goal this year is to expand my social circle. Two people that were a major part of my life have returned. By the end of the month. I will have gone to three birthday parties.

 

However I am finding it challenging to find deep thinkers. I have noticed that some people seem to not be able to focus or have a balanced conversation.

 

My deeper dive into Astrology has resulted in more detail and crisp timely predictions. In one I was able to tell a Querent the date they had a doctor's appointment within a week. I have also fone back an found a chart within a month of when i met two significant partners. The planet in those charts had a relationship to my chart. In addition that planet described both partners fairly accurately .

 

I have also been turning the lens inwards. I spent several hours looking at possible charts to forecast the next 8 years. If I'm correct the next the next year amd a half will be something of a rebirth. 

 

The other thing is that i shouldn't live with my next partner. The next paerner should be arriving in the next six months. However around the same time two attractive magnetic difficult women will be showing up around the same time.

 

I have said it before you are an unconscious Magician. I feel that your hesitancy to reach into your magic bag is more due feat if your own power rayhe than something going awry.

 

I practice Magic because it brings Wonder into my life. Which levens the banality of existence.

 

Or I'm also doing aa magical Spell on the Solar Eclipse to march6the one i did on the Lunar Eclipse.

[aka Contrarian]

@DelanoWell, you seem to be gettimg the most out of your life,as everything starts to come together and you follow your path. 

Have you ever wondered if the strangers you make eye contact with are kindred souls from another time, or even fellow aliens from the same place as you who are all part of a common mission? Lol I've always suspected I'm an alien and that I'm being monitored. My computerized devices seem to have a mind of their own, sometimes spontaneously deleting what I key.

 

With me, it's my grandson's dog who got pushed off on us. He's a pit-mix and is ambivalent in nature, docile at times, aggressive on other occasions. People say don't make eye contact with pIt bulls but this dog devotes a couple of hours a day to sitting in front of me,  staring at me.  I think he has a  pack mentality and he regards me as a matriarch. 

Through my voice and demeanor,  I can invoke fear in him, causing him to cower and skulk away with his tail between his legs if he does something to annoy me. He only acts this way with me.

Then there's this feeling that I can only describe as a gravitational pull.i feel like I weigh a ton and the earth is drawing me down to it. Like there's some kind of metal in my body and the ground is a magnet;an eery feeling...

And, of course, I'm still trying to find my purpose in life as I dangle in limbo. 

Every time I fall asleep it's  like I go to a movie. My dreams are like films.  

For me,  time is flying. It's like it has really sped up as one sun rise chases another.  My clock is very fickle.

 

To be honest, I'm tired of the world. It's really a terrible, crazy place. Mankind has ruined it.

 

Thanks for sharing. Thanks for reading.

                      zzzzzzzzzz,

I've experienced that too recently.  Sometimes I have to sit back and thing that such -in-such actually happen or was that a dream.  Sometime the dreams involve people who are no longer with use of situation that can't exist so that is a clue that they are not real.  I'm too lazy to wirt them down... Maybe I'll dictate them.

 

I'm publishing a historical fiction book on a 19th century mystic if either of you would like to read it let me know. 

 

@Delano l'll get back to you on the rest of your reply this week.

Of course, our perspectives are shaped by a number of factors.  The biggest factor is time. 

 

The people who are thriving would claim the world is a great place and these are the best of times. 

 

I'm non-religious but I believe what people consider heaven and h8ll are co-located right here on the planet. 

 

Again, just a matter of one's existence and experiences resulting in their perspective.

 

@aka Contrarian, hang in there.  Depending on your beliefs, there's really no other choice.  Gotta ride it out.

No not until you said it. I have had strangers be very familiar and friendly.

My phone used to call people. And take pictures. Not certain how it unlocked it and opens an app. One time i was going to meet a friend and my phone type a message. That turned out to be true about my friend.

I used to imagine that my legs extended deep into the Earth. At the same time i would imagine myself as tall as a skyscraper. I found this to be very energizing. I typically did by this after a big night out

Randall Pascal was a dude. Did a couple of searches about him. He bought Rosicrucian philosophy to the US.

Yes definitely. If you send the book by sea its less costly . Let me know so i can pay you.

@aka ContrarianThe one thing I miss is deep connections. I have one.

As for my being an unconscious Magician, I have to overcome the temptatation to go to the dark side...

Over the last month I have met three thinkers. Two out of three I have kept in touch. One of the women and I have agreed that we shouldn't be lovers.

Yes I just got my knee brace off a few days ago. A former client did a reading for me it was very accurate and insightful. I have been reading more omens. Also met a women we both decided to have a platonic relationship. She is the same Chinese animals as my two ex wives. Plus I can see in our charts dates when we first met. Which was at a dance party on my birthday. When we met yesterday we were both carrying books. When I look at our charts together the distance between Mercury the planet of think and the North Node which is destiny is my current age less one week. So I have found another technique telling me when meetings occur and when things happen.

 

[aka Contrarian]

@Delano Very interesting. Is what you're describing syncronicity?

This may sound crazy but my next door neighbor kinda gets on my nerves and I don't feel like talking to her. Yet, it seems like every time I venture outside for any reason, she is coming out her door at the same time! So I have to stop and make small talk with her.

The same with my daughter. We always decide to go in the kitchen and make a snack at the same time... and get in each other's way. 

Well, you get the idea. Obviously,however,  I'm not having any romantic chance encounters.

But I did go outside last night and commune with the huge gorgeous full moon and it was rejuvenating.

[Mel Hopkins]

 I tuned into this thread, and I feel a sense of sadness. I'll go back and read, and it just might be me, but from the few entries I've read, it feels as if each writer is in the phase of "slipping into nothingness"  - that's not what is sad, though. It is as if the words written mean that no one wants to let go and venture into nothingness to see what lies on the other side.

I know that feeling too, because for over three consecutive nights, I dreamed that I lost my identity and worked tirelessly to retrieve it to no avail. I kept asking everyone if they had it or had seen it. I  think I was looking for certainty, for the people and signs to define me or my circumstances. In the dream, I didn't realize what I was looking for; I was actually manifesting. But that is the nature of this universe: "Seek ye shall find," or what you're seeking is seeking you." 

Still, I kept saying, "I lost my identity."

 

...Now, I'm on the other side of 'identity' loss, and I'm into the unknown, moving through with nothing but being present in the moment with "feeling."  

Before the dream, I think I was angry, feeling that it was rude for people to continue telling me, "Cheyenne is still with us." I was offended because I thought, "Let her be where she wants to be." It is selfish of us to believe that she'd want to spend eternity looking over us, while we are in this dimension living our lives... wtf.

Then I reflected on that dream - and realized in that dream I wasn't here, I was with random people in some random place (s). Even now, I'm connecting with others spiritually, whether I know them or not.

 

I'm also connecting and watching over all my daughters. 

 

Case in point, my oldest daughter left her phone in the car. A few weeks before, I kept feeling, "My daughter is going to lose her phone." She did, but it was in her friend's car. She was able to retrieve it. To see this, I had to be in the future —and in New York. The West has a term for this: déjà rêvé. I saw something similar with Cheyenne, but I got it confused with her actual life. I kept feeling that she was "under the gun."  And I would check in on her, but I didn't mention it because she was an actual gun owner who went to the range for practice shooting. I rarely tell my daughters what I see in their lives, but Cheyenne always felt a physical presence of a spirit. Now I wonder if it was me hovering in her space. 

 

I say all this to share: "We exist everywhere and can step into any version of ourselves at any time." The only thing that keeps us anchored is "identity."

[aka Contrarian]

Well, as Delano once told me when I expressed confusion: "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." 

I'm not quite ready when it comes to figuring out the nature of  my existence.  I have, however, separated myself from my name. I am simply "me". I mentioned before I feel as though I am still that same 18 year old  who in 1951 celebrated her golden birthday.  For me,  Life remains a mystery. But I do think there is an answer to every question. We just don't know it...

I don't take liberties with people I have just met without knowing them a bit.

 

Our history isn't one of mutual understanding. So I doubt you would understand my motivations.

 

Your last statement doesn't make sense to me. So you are being true to form.

A former client and now good friend. Gave me a reading and said not to give up hope. I also feel a certain dissolution. It is the first time in life where I don't have a plan or a goal. What I am seeing is a type of death to release from my old self and they accompanying painful losses. I enjoyed the photos. However it took me a couple of days to find the words. I feel as though I am stripping myself and what remains is what's truly of value. I feel you twin

From 2020 to 2024, each year was more challenging than the next. Whereas 2025 the challenges appear to be more internal.
