Hello FIGU friends

after a pair of years of not making geometric drawings i decided to do some, now using the computer. Here it is the result. Two variations of the same idea:

geometric drawing 1


geometric drawing 2

"what the mission means to me"

as i lay under a wonderous tree
a silver ship i did above me, see
and in the night
the light was white and flew silently
a woman spoke without words
her image appeared quite vividly

for seven years i pondered the pro's and con's
i studied my life
at times at dusk and other times at dawn
i seen things that if i spoke about openly
my friends and family would call me crazy
but deep inside i truly feel
these unbelievable things are completely real

i did not feel obligated or convinced
just that the truth should no tbe silenced
and in my deepest thoughts and feelings true
i understand what i am to do

there are bonds that span lengthy time
and there are spirits that at times align
and we seem to cross paths
on more than many occasion
and when we realize the love between us
grand is our sense of elation

in this life i feel truly blessed
because i have become concious of
a most beautiful guest
she gives me milk from her metaphorical breast
and is my teacher in this lifelong test

tonight i reflected for a time
to determine a path
specifically, mine
and on this walk in this autumn night
above me the heavens held a white solid light
and as that womans face it did appear
as i felt the bond of love draw near

i made an oath to some friends
that i choose to see this mission to the relative end.

(English version below)

Les ofrezco este escrito, que me inspira el dia de hoy.
Es de mi propia autoria.
Son mis reflexiones propias.

Soy Pacifico, Tranquilo, Calmado y Logico.
Soy tolerante, respetuoso,
y si no he de hablar algo que valga la pena,
guardare silencio.

Pensare antes de pensar.
Pensare antes de hablar.
Pensare antes de actuar.

Cada pensamiento, palabra y accion,
seran orientados hacia la paz y la armonia.
Encausare mi vida hacia la perfeccion.

Quiero ser, lo que el "YO" puedo ser.
Quiero ser, aquello que el "YO" soy.
Ese YO poderoso que vive en mi,
que aprende de mis errores,
y que esta mas cerca a mi que mi propia sangre,
y que esta mas cerca a mi que mi propia respiracion.

Y todo esto lo hare en el silencio mas respetuoso.

Que asi sea, desde hoy, y hasta el final de mis dias.

----

I would like to offer you this writing, which inspires me this day.

These are my own reflections.

I am Pacific, Tranquil, Calm and Logic.
I am tolerant, respectful,
and if I am not to speak something worthy,
I will observe silence.

I will think before thinking.
I will think before speaking.
I will think before acting.

Every thought, word and action,
will be orientated towards peace and harmony.
I will direct my life towards perfection.

I want to be, what I will to be.
I want to be that, which the "I" already is.
That I powerful who lives in me,
Who learns from my mistakes,
and who is closer to me than my own blood,
and who is closer to me than my own breath.

And all this, I will do from the most respectful silence.

So be it, from today, until the end of my days.
Salome
Carlos

Here are a few things.

1. FOR ONLY YOU MEMO! hehehe.... Here is music you might like.....(kind of brings to light what Eduard's early days in the East and in India might have been like..)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGKoCejoJVw&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l0Nt691z5Q&feature=related

2. Here is a pledge I wrote for myself..
I wrote it while listening to this (the end part)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JQSeTKOr-Q&feature=related
- From 7:08 onwards.

I, Lyrian
I, as a Lyrian Spirit,
Of the Star System of Lyra,
Understand a duty,
As Spirit in each and every past and future incarnation,
As Human, on Earth, and as Human throughout the Cosmos,
As friend, and Family to all significant Life Forms,
Pledge by the Eternal Love, Wisdom and complete Majesty of The Creation as all,
To help and encourage and uphold: cognition, truth, knowledge, wisdom and love and Understanding throughout the entire Multiverse,
To be a Vessel of Light in the dark, in any material and non-material form,
In all struggles, and in all difficulties, to forever Endeavour the advancement of all Beings,
For the forging of Strength, Friendship, Equilibrium, Harmony and Unity amongst all equal life forms lesser and greater that systematically co-exist in the Multiverse of the beautiful Creation.
Salome

G'day Folks

I would like a list of music thats not degenerate

i dont think we will be getting much good new talent or any more John Lennons, Michael Jacksons. The world now gets lady gaga or Justin bieber.

We do have a huge selection to draw from though so no biggy, even if 1% isn't degenerate would still be a huge selection,i saw the songs Beam likes and yes they are nice but can we do a bigger list?

I second that request, Peter. I like the idea of building a repertoire of music that is worth listening to. How might this be developed? I have suggested an online radio station be integrated into the TTT website that we are working on, but am not sure if that suggestion will gain any traction. Alternatively, this idea could be picked up by another group's website, such as the Aussie group.

As I see it, members could post music to an online folder, the files of which would then be rated by interested members, and then sorted and streamed to the general public according to the ratings that result. Not only music could be streamed, but also interviews, translated contact notes, German language lessons, poetry readings and other personal creative submissions, and even just news.

It might be abit of an endeavor to put this project together, but I think it would be worth it.

Hello friends

Good music is there, but like everything in life you need effort to find it. A lot of what is on the radio today is crap, but now with the internet you have the power to search for anything that you are interested in. There is so much good music (both old and new) that it is impossible to listen to all, itīs as simple as that.

i got an idea... how about those who choose to listen to whatever they wish, do so, and determine what is harmonious using there own judgement and intellect.

i also recomend searching out non mainstream bands, for there is an abundance of talent and beautiful music out there. also try looking beyond american music. that is a suggestion for a start.
frankly i find it difficult to read that john lennon and micheal jackson are regarded as some sort of high standard.
i challange people to broaden their musical horizons and listen to something that has not been forced into your ears by radio.

I suggest listening to The Future Sound of London, if you like the electronic/ambient genre. Ive been listening to them for years and have never been disappointed. Their soundscapes are absolutely amazing :-)

Memo00,

Do you have the mathematical equations for those drawings by any chance? A good friend of mine, a Northrup Grumman German scientist gave me another gift made by a technology called Additive Layer Manufacturing. Lasers harden/glue molecules together to form objects. His last gift was made using a mathematical equation. I would like to see what your equations form as a 3-D object. Perhaps I can load pictures. Additive Layer technology can build/construct objects that are not possible with anything out in the industrial world.

One object he gave me, based on mathematical equations, has the shapes and lines of what we find in nature. Perhaps this then may qualify as "art" according to Plejaren perspective on what can be considered art?

Salome,
Eddie

Hello Eddie

If you want the equations you will have to find them yourself (or ask someone knowledgable in the subject). I only used geometry (circles, triangles, squares, pentagons, etc.) and logic. All those angles, proportions, etc may be expressed as formulas but since i donīt know trigonometry... A friend of mine who is interested in maths gave me some formulas which i sometimes use to obtain certain lengths faster but that is all i can share. Most of what i draw can be made with the classic "Compass and straightedge" without ever measuring anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_and_straightedge_constructions

One of my main objectives is to draw things that are expressions of the natural laws, things whose "seed" is in the circle and not in "external" added things. For me the circle represents the number 1, the unit, the ALL, and so in it there are many secrets hidden of how are things in the universe. For example: if you draw one circle of ANY diameter, then you need 6 circles of the SAME diameter to surround completely this first circle. This shows that 7=1 (6 around+1 in the center=7=a unit). You can find this also with 7 same sized coins, you place one in the middle and the other six will fit exactly around it, this is something universal, valid for all times, and it is impossible that it can be otherwise. This same can be done inside the circle, you divide the diameter in 3 (1/3=3.333...), then you can draw exactly 7 circles using this measure inside the original circle. This alone proves that the number 7 and the number 3 are fundamental to the way the universe is. In 3d you can place exactly 12 spheres around 1 sphere (12+1= 13 and 7x7=49 and 4+9= 13).

drawing

Other thing that i have found and that interests me is how in 2d you can represent 3 or more dimensions. Working with a circle (2d) is equivalent to working with a sphere (3d) and you can represent any given number of dimensions in it. (check the orthogonal projections (Petrie polygon) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polytope)

Two formulas i use are:

sin(360/(2*N)) (you change the N for any number to obtain the length of a side of any regular polygon in a circle)

cos((N-2) * pi/(2*N)) / (1-cos( (N-2) * pi /( 2*N))) (your calculator has to be in RAD, you change the N for any number and you obtain the diameter that a circle must have to surround another circle, example 4 circles surrounding a circle of diameter = 1 must measure 2.41421356...)

Thanks Memo00,

This was very interesting. You have made me think about reading the Contact Notes again for specific mentions of equations. If I'm not mistaken, phi as we know it is off a bit and if I'm correct, I think it was Ptaah or Quetzal who had mentioned it.

Salome,
Eddie

Hi Eddie

I think you mean "pi".
Phi is a proportional ratio.
