But first let's talk about the chaotic state we find the world in as Lady and I look out tonight from Desolation Row. The government in Libya has fallen apart. Now Islamists are having a pool party at the US Embassy doing videos of themselves doing swan dives off the building into the swimming pool. Who's invited? There are two factions fighting each other. Meanwhile Egypt and the UAE are sending troops there to invtervene and restore order or something. John Mc Cain is right about ISIS and Ukraine, of course. I think people have come to realize though that to successfully mount a convincing attack on ISIS we need to invoke the Powell doctrine of having consensus support of the world including most importantly those Sunni Moslems who are opposed to ISIS, Several weeks ago we are thinking of bringing Iran into the conflict, but people see now that this would be an unnecessarily complicating factor. It's a good thing that the Iraq army finally got its shit together sufficiently to win a battle with the aid us US air support and free those people who were under siege and were in danger of being captured and tortured and perhaps worse. But the President has to beware of the "Optics" of the situation and every word he says, every speech he or his White House press secretary will be weighed and scrutenized and analyzed to death. The last thing our President wants to appear to be right now is indecisive. And we know the president does "Indecisive" very well - - or is that poorly, or at least all too frequently for comfort. In the Ukraine theater of war- - my first inclination as President would be exactly to do what John Mc Cain was suggesting today on "Face the Nation". As an aside it must be a real boost to John Mc Cain's ego that "Every time the Media wants the definitive statement on a particular foreign conflict, they always turn to Me. We should do "lend lease" and arm the Ukrainians and turn the tide against Putin. Unfortunately there is an important question we must ask first. And that is "Is this war winable". The answer to that question is highly dubious because Putin is an egomaniac. He has Nukes and he states that he's not afraid touse them, and I doubt any sane person wants to call his bluff and press him too far. You know what they say. Rats turn vicious when trapped in a corner. Aside from a revelation from God Himself- - I personally as President, no mater where my heart was, would want some confirmation that this thing wouldn't blow up in my face. So perhaps first, just like ISIS, we need a better propaganda campaign to turn the hearts and minds of Europe against Putin and the Russian forces. Clearly this man is an agressor, and apeasment won't work. Many thought he would stop with anexing Crimea. He didn't. Many thought Putin would just roll over and give up when a few weeks back the Ukrainian forces seemed to have the upper hand in this conflict. Instead Putin increased the stakes and escalated the conflict. It takes little imagination from here to see that escalation will beget escalation, and what would win the war now will be woefully ineffective and useless in a few weeks after Putin escalated the conflict further. So the bottom line for me is I wouldn't know what to do. But I could always turn to John Mc Cain for advice.
The number twelve has always been mystic. It was two years ago we did a dissertation on- - for instance football and now the Twelfth Man in football are the fans. The image here was of God Himself and "Being seen' by another in a perspective that we couldn't possibly partake of ourselves. And then the Islamists speak of the Twelfth Imam. Who is to say who he is or whether the Shiites believe he's on his way. And I don't know if this Islamic "Calaphate" of ISIS also believes in the Twelfth Imam or whether their theology goes off in some other direction. But since those days we have shuffled our Dimensions around and done a little prunkng, and yanked out three dimensions. And so we really don't have a Twelfth Dimension now- - so maybe I should have tagged this posting "The eleventh dimension". Dimension number ten is the dimension of Dynamics - - and again those of you electronicly inclined may think of Decibels. But it's dimension number eleven that I now would like to expound on in a way I haven't before. We told you this eleventh dimension is one of - Arrangement - - Placement of - - - Things or whatever. It's the dimensions of Patterns, of either the presence or lack of them, and sometimes being able to tell the Difference. (Selah) With patterns often we find Intelligence- - and the human brain is hard wired to instinctively recognise Intelligent Design - - and the human brain is way better than any Computer in this ability. But then we have the other concept- - my version of string or fung chue theory - - and these are two things I link. I don't speak of the micro string of the physicist, but rather the macro string- - - great big long strings. And just as strings of musical instruments vibrate and generate musical notes- - or one might say - - Patterns of sound impulses - - so I believe this eleventh dimension generates Ideas. So this is my lame attempt to give that ancient Greek concept of "The Idea" some form of actual physicality. And these ideas are neither spacially nor time limited. And when an idea appears somewhere it is limited neither by Space nor by Time. And here is where we get that word everybody uses but few people understand called Synchronicity. Now since you have the SAME idea in two different places - - since the IDEAS themselves by their "material nature" (to use an almost psudo theological term) are in fact NOT LIMITED in either space or time, but particularly space- - we thus deduce that said Ideas don't have the inherent limitations of Travel that the rest of us have. Then we come to that other mental hurdle I'll endeavor (hopefully not in vain) to leap. Since we too as part of our - - psychic nature (I used the word here to denote the Mind or the Self or the Souil) we also partake in this thing called Intelligence- - them we have what you'd call in math as a "Common denominator' to relate in. Just to review and revive a few brain cells you may have picked up from some collect lecture- - Wave relates to Wave a lot more easily than you can relate Wave with Water. (Selah) In other words it's my belief that we can make use of this "Common denominator", which is Intelligence. Of course science- - those into physics - - may be quite willing to make part of this "Intellectual leap" I'm about to make, with me, but at a certain point they will balk. They may well concede that "Yes there is a lot of this thing called ENERGY out there - - which gives scientific measurability to what I am talking about (to a degree) And they will say "Yes, it's possible psychic transmissions may be able to be done at the speed of light". But what I have always proposed even going back into the eighties is that the speed of light is FAR TOO SLOW for the sort of teleportation I'm talking about. Yes I'll say there is energy. But we don't go to an Art Museum to see lumps of clay- - that is - - the physical substance or "medium" (a term artists use) and so I say that this "Energy" is just a physical (such as it is) "Medium" that Intelligence "uses" or makes use of, but does not partake of it's material nature. So the question or rather, proposition is - - since Intelligence is what we relate to - - or to use a simpler analogy- - it could be said we know not Carbon but the Carbon 'Pattern' of electrons, protons and newtrons, so to speak - - we relate to the pattern and only indirectly the substance. So lets transport the Pattern. Just think about it.
Astronomy Cafe is one of the few places that states that "We are actually nine tenths binding energy rather than our quarks (or more specifically Baryons) So if somehow - - and Star Trek is based on what I'm about to say by way of proposition - - Since- - Energy is Nine Tenths of our Mass - - and quantom physics tells us that is a LOT - - of Energy- - and since energy seems somehow easier to think about - - the Star Trek people believe (perhaps wrongly) that energy is easier to transport than matter- - meaning Baryons - where we (wrongly) believe most of our mass is. But even with Star Trek there is still the Logical (and logistical) problem of "So you've gotten rid of nine tenths of the problem - - but nobody wants to be nine tenths somewhere else and have part of their body "off" somewhere.
Now on a cosmic note of our own - - (by way of light intermission entertainment) I wanted to say that the style of music the Corsellians have is very similar to the style of music the Denelis II people have. It's pretty hard for all but the season conosures of that music to tell them apart. However one can say that Corsellian music generally has more of a "chunky" and I'd use the word "heavy" quality to describe it. And there is one group we want to reassign to the Corsellian group and that is "Paul Revere and the Raiders" (Mark Lindsey is their lead singer) Some groups are so similar rhythmically and stylistically - - you can't keep them straight without a score card. Take Maurie Head singing "One Night in Bancock" and the theme to "Ghost Busters". Very similar type of tracks, in terms of style. However "Bancock" is "Karn Evel" and "Ghostbusters" is the Phil Collins group- - a star in Cassiopia. Karn Evil is a star in Aquilla. It's my hope that this last paragraph not be counted against me in terms of my intellectual credibility.
