Time And Man بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا 76:1

76: 1 Do you come onto (discover/discern) the Human at some point in Time (during an Age) it is not something Mentioned (Thought of/Remembered)?

The classical interpretation of 76:1 is something along the lines: 'Has there come upon man any period of time in which he was a thing not mentioned/unremembered?'

And it generally is an acceptable interpretation if 'هَلْ ' is given a range of poetic license to mean 'has there' or 'was there ever,' but it seems the primary meaning of 'hal?' is 'do you?' But if 'هَلْ ' is used literally as 'Do you..' then the rest of 76:1 only makes sense if it is understood to be a direct inquiry regarding a direct observation by 'you' about ' الْإِنسَانِ ' or 'the Human', 'Man' (mankind in general). The predicate pronoun is a gender neutral ' لَمْ يَكُن ' or 'it was/is' when referring to 'it' as something not yet mentioned; a way to initially call something that has yet to be identified animate or named (as he, she, or they, etc.).

103 Al'Asr (The Epoch/Age/Era/Times/Period/Eon)وَالْعَصْرِ 103:1
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْر 103:2

103:1 And (Consider) The Times
103:2 Indeed, the Human (Humanity, Mankind, Man) because in (it) is lost (at a loss;absorbed).

Chapter 103 is a terse verse of 3 Signs and these first 2 Signs condense in a few simple words exactly what is Mankind's Predicament; that Mankind is distracted by the Times/Epoch they are in; they are 'Lost' to it because they are actively participating in it; literally, 'for in is lost.' The balance of the Signs offers a way to dispel the situation; the 'out,' if you will, for this quandary.

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ 103:3

103:3 Except for those who Believe and Do Good (the Beautiful things) and Counsel (each other)in Truth (to do Right) and Counsel (each other) Patience.

This post is meant to be a serious discourse about Time and our perception of it; but since it is True that I have a tendency to get 'lost in The Times' (The Los Angeles Times, that is) and Tim Rickard went ahead and 'killed' Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! in yesterday's funny, I turned my attention to The New York Times science section, Science Times, today. Above the fold, on the front page of that section was a drawing by Daniel Tammet, a young man who is a math and linguistic savant afflicted with Asperger's syndrome. Daniel's illustration depicts how he sees numbers, and I have reprinted it here after having added my captions to what each numeric icon means in terms of what is going on at A Page In The Life and UFOs (consider the number 4 'chevron' and the number 12 'Triangle UFO').

It is interesting that Daniel chose to illustrate up to 12 counts, i.e., duodecimal (Base-12). While computers process internally using binary (Base-2), and we predominately count using Base-10 (decimal), the duodecimal system is much easier to reckon the count of Time. It is also easy to multiply and divide, add and subtract in Base-12 as in Base-10. The fact that 12 has 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 as factors makes it very useful.

As for Time, there are 24 hours in a day and each day is divided into 12-hour cycles, which may be further subdivided into four 6-hour segments of morning, afternoon, evening and night. Traditionally, 12 is also the basis for printing such as points, pica, and the combination of Base-10 and Base-12 resolutions for dpi.

When first examining 'Is There Life After Death' the idea of Time Perception was mentioned. There are 2 aspects of Time, the Actual Time that exists due to the Universal Clock Mechanism (The Sun, The Planets, The Moon, The Stars, Orbiting, Revolving, Rising (Ascension), Setting, etc.) and the Perceived Time that exists because of a Human's perception (either directly by watching a clock, observing natural phenomenon, or indirectly flowing through us when we are engaged in activity or inactivity or dreams).

The Physical count of Time (Actual Time) is indeed dozenal, the Quran mentions our dividing and calculating it based on a duodecimal system (Base-12) and some of its factors (2, 4, 6).

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ
أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ 7:54

7:54 It is Your Lord God that Created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 Days (Eons) and then Established Himself Dominion (the Throne over them); He obscures the Day with the Night; they vigorously pursue (request) His (Command); and the Sun and the Moon and the Stars are subject to His Command (Order, Arrangement, Will); His is the Creation and the Commandment, Blessed Be God, The Lord (Sustainer/Keeper) of the Worlds.

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَات وَالأَرْضَ
مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلاَ تَظْلِمُواْ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ
وَقَاتِلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةً وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ 9:36

9:36 The count of Months according to God is 12 Months; in God's Book (Record) the Day He Created the Heavens and the Earth of them 4 are Sacred; that is the Way (Law) so do not Wrong yourselves in them and fight the faithless (idolators) as they fight you; and know that God is with the Pious.

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِتَبْتَغُواْ
فَضْلاً مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلاً 17:12

17:12 And We Made the Night and the Day 2 Signs; And We Efface the Sign of Night and Made the Sign of Daylight for you to See by it so that you may seek God’s Bounty and to learn (know)the count/reckoning of the Years and to calculate and everything We have Explained (Separated) Clearly.

هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاء وَالْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ
وَالْحِسَابَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّهُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ يُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ 10:5

10:5 It is He Who Made the Sun a Light (source) and the Moon a Light (reflector) and Appointed for it Phases that you may know the count of the years and the calculating (of time); God did not Create this except in Truth; He Clarifies (Separates/Distinguishes) the Signs for People who Think (Consider). (Note: There are 8 phases to the Moon 2*4)
By contrast our Perceived Time is mentioned throughout the Quran as being based on a decimal system; 1,000 years or 50,000 years or 10 days, etc.

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ 22:47

22:47...and a Day to God is like 1,000 years by your reckoning

يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاء إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ 32:5

32:5 The Commandment is Procured from Heaven to Earth then it Ascends to Him in a Day like an Amount of 1,000 years (periods/ages) by your accounting

يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا 20:103
نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا 20:104

20:103 they estimate among themselves that they were broadcast (went about)
for only 10 (days)
20:104 We Know what they say when those who know the Way tell them that
'You were broadcast (had gone about) merely a day.'

تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ 70:4

70:4 The Angels and The Spirit Ascend to Him in a Day like the Amount of 50,000 Years (Ages, Periods)

What Inner Truth governs why objective time has as its basis the number 12 and subjective time is based on the number 10 escapes me for now. But taking a second look at Daniel's drawing above and its serendipidous happenstance that I found it in the paper shortly after having started this post, begs for searching it for more clues. 'Daniel tends to see numbers each integer up to 10,000 has its own unique shape, colour, texture and feel.'

It seems like Daniel's first 12 numbers illustrate Origination to Resurrection, and if we can get Daniel to illustrate all 10,000 integers that he 'sees' we just might be able to decipher his experience of what the future holds.

Six's And Seven's, As Above... So Below

"The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes."
--Andre Gide

If you ever played Jacks, you know the idea is to to gather as many of them in your hand on one bounce of the ball before it comes back down.

Having taken a recent Inventory of the Chapters discussed so far, it quickly became obvious that there was a large swathe of Chapters in the 60's that had not been presented for comment; only 65 and 68 had actual citations.

If you were paying attention the number 6 came up earlier and its connection to Carbon along with the set of 6 companions or 3 sets of pairs/duals each individual comprises; those being on the Starboard, Larboard, and Bow positions (A Tree, an Apple, a Wineskin) . And one shorthand way to describe Human at all 3 positions is (6,6,6).

Tabulating the 10 chapters in the 60's and their corresponding number of Signs, an interesting pattern emerged by simply taking the difference between the number of Signs in each consecutive Chapter, as indicated below.


If each set of 3 differences are taken together and assuming the 0 is a separator; one way to consider these numbers (1.3), (7.6), and (18.22) is as human chromosome locations. I think it goes something like chromosome 1 band 3, etc.

Having mentioned lipids/fatty acids earlier, it would be interesting to note the mechanism for fatty acid messaging and these chromosome locations. Two diseases prevalent in the population that are connected to fatty acids and mRNA are diabetes and obesity; but there may be others specific to the disclosed chromosomes that an accommodating Geneticist may help answer. While this might not be the only significance attached to this numerical pattern, it seemed the most obvious.

I can get away with making these types of sweeping statements and 'hazard' such guesses because I am getting used to being at 6's and 7's with you. (And I never want to hear that your mother never taught you anything.)

As we continually gain proficiency in amassing, archiving and programming information to the extent that we already impart 'knowledge' to sub-human species and create artificial intelligence systems , the demarcation between what separates our intelligence from that of the rest of Creation gets fuzzy-er. But if there is still one attribute remaining that sets Humans apart from the rest of Creation, it is that we can manipulate a writing implement easily and that we can write creatively; and this ability more than any other factor delineates what it is to be Human:

68 Qalam (The Pen, Writing Implement)
ن وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ 68:1
مَا أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ 68:2
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ 68:3
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ 68:4
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ 68:5
بِأَييِّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ 68:6
.
.
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ 68:52

68:1 Nuun. By the Pen and what they Write...
68:2 You are not, by your Sustainer’s Favor, crazy (irrational/mad).
68:3 And, indeed, for you is an Unfailing Reward of Goodness.
68:4 And, indeed, you are Creating Tremendous Good.
68:5 You shall see, and they shall see,
68:6 Which of you is the demented.
.
.
68:52 And this is nothing except a Reminder to the Worlds.

And unlike the rest of all Creation, we question why we are here, and why we are given Life only to have to eventually 'succumb' to Death.

67 Mulk (The Dominion)الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ 67:2
الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَّا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِن تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِن فُطُورٍ 67:3

67:2 He Created Death and Life to try you; which of you is best
(most beautiful) in conduct (deed); and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving…
67:3 Who Created seven heavens (multiple) echelon. You can see no
inconsistency (disproportion) in the Beneficent’s Creation;
then look again; Can you see any rift (fissure/aperture/break)?

Careful scrutiny of our Humanity through the Ages will uncover the fact that no Force has shaped us (literally and figuratively) more than our assimilation of Knowledge; not Wars or Conquests or near obliteration by either Man-made or Natural Disasters. Knowledge increases our Self-Awareness and it propels our Evolution; it is the Prime Mover behind shifting paradigms in our Psyche, Intelligence and even our Physical Body. Our Response to Knowledge changes our Environment which in turn Shapes us.

62 Jumu'ah (Congregation)



62:2 هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ
وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِين
وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ 62:3

62:2 It is He who sent among the illiterates (unlettered, those lacking
Scripture) a messenger from their midst to recite to them the Signs and to
raise them (thereby) and to teach them the Book (Scripture) and Judgment;
indeed they were obviously astray (in the dark).
62:3 And those from among them who will later follow them. He is the Mighty,
the Wise.

And this is why the most effective tool God can give us for our own benefit is Knowledge; it is the Fountainhead from which all else springs; like Water to Dry Land, it leads to growth in all its aspects that includes but is not limited to reproduction, development, love (caring/respect/appreciation), creation and perfection (completion).

65 Talaq (Divorce)
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا 65:12
65:12 It is God who Created seven heavens (smwat), and of the earth similar to them. The Commandments propagate throughout them such that you learn (come to know) that God is indeed Able to do all things, and that God Encompasses (Surrounds) all things in Knowledge.

With Knowledge and Growth and as with any Dynamic Process under Flow, there may be turbulence and not all points are going to change at the same time to the same effect. That's why we are all at different points of development not only compared to each other but within our own beings; for example, our intelligence may not have caught up with our physique or emotional maturity. This can and does lead to major disruptions in how we deal with each other because we are not 'all on the same page.'
63 Munafiqun (Hypocrites)
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ
كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ
هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ 63:4

63:4 And when you see them you will find their forms (figures/bodies) most
remarkable; and if they speak, you heed their speech. They’re as if they
were propped up wood. They think every call is against them. They are
adversarial, so beware of them. God fought them for indeed they are not whole.
(Alternatively, 'God fights for their completion').

It is only Reasonable to conclude that such a vast investment in development over one's Lifetime was never actually intended to simply go to Waste and become reduced to mere Dust upon one's Death, and why it is so Imperative to learn that Resurrection is the Reality. An Ultimate Accounting for what you had been doing over the course of your erstwhile life once your body does hit the dirt, as Promised from the God that Formed you.

That there Truly is more to Life and Death than you were lead to believe by those who do not understand the Ultimate Reality, either because their Journey has not taken them so far or because they simply Despair of having to Account for what they do. In this respect, a Call to 'Help God' or be 'God's Helpers', is not because God needs assistance, but in order for you to help yourself by keeping you and those you Love away from the Punishment that is just as likely to ensue for bad deeds as the Reward you get for the good ones. Death is necessary to signal a time for the Final Tally and Help God Not To Have to Punish you; and that is why the Warnings and the Messages keep coming--to give you every chance to mend before the inevitable happens.
60 Mumtahina (She Who Is Tested/Examined)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقُبُورِ 60:13
60:13 All you Believers! Do not extend/follow those who earned God’s wrath for they doubt the Hereafter (just) as the Disbelievers are uncertain about those in their graves. (They do not believe in Resurrection)

61 Saff (Arrayed/Arranged)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا كُونوا أَنصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ
قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللَّهِ فَآَمَنَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
وَكَفَرَت طَّائِفَةٌ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ 61:14
61:14 All you who are Believers! Be God’s helpers, like when Jesus, Son of Mary, said to Al-Houaryoon (the Disciples): “Who shall be God’s helpers?” They said, “ We are God's helpers.” And a sect of the B’Nai Israel (Children of Israel) believed, while a sect disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their rivals and they became visible (evident victors).
66 Tahrem (Forbidding/Avoiding)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ 66:6
66:6 All you Believers! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire fueled with people and stones; tended by Angels strong, severe; they do not resist any of God’s Commands and they do all that they are Commanded.
And the Fight to this End is of such Vital Importance, that God can Orchestrate the Battle so that the Believers Move en masse as One Body:
61 Saff (Arrayed/Arranged)
ِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ 61:4
61:4 (Know) That God Loves those who fight for His Cause Arrayed as if they are a 'Solid Structure'. (A 'Leaded Column'; refer to the image of chromosomes above and relate their similitude to 'leaded columns')
The Fight is to Find the Truth so that Judgment is Rendered Accordingly, it's why all the Books get written, and if you like the Book of Revelation, here it is without all of the mystery ...
(In short form; it clarifies the difference between God and criminals-- He gives Ample Warning and you always know EXACTLY Why!)

69 Al-Haqqah (The Truth)الْحَاقَّةُ 1: 69
69:1 The Truth!

مَا الْحَاقَّةُ 69:2
69:2 What is The Truth?

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ 69:3
69:3 And Who Taught you what The Truth is?

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ 69:13
69:13 If the trumpet is blown with a single breath (If a single breath is blown into the Images)

وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً 69:14
69:14 and the Earth and the Mountains are struck and are picked up with a single beat (strike)

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ 69:15
69:15 And so, that which was announced ensues

وَانشَقَّتِ السَّمَاء فَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ 69:16
69:16 and the Sky is torn - for, it would become fragile that Day

وَالْمَلَكُ عَلَى أَرْجَائِهَا وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ 69:17
69:17 and the Angels at its corners, bearing Your Sustainer’s Throne aloft on that Day, Octet

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَى مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ 69:18
69:18 On that Day you shall be Shown-- not the most deeply buried (secreted) of your deeds will remain concealed.


So the Quest to to Find the Truth--not only behind what motivated you to do things in your life, but every nuance of your actions and your intentions--all Counts toward the Final Judgment and Determines whether You get to Continue on as you Are or be Dispensed with in some other fashion.

64 Taghabun (Mutual Loss and Gain/Adjustment)
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ 64:12

64:12 Obey God and obey His messenger; but if you turn away, the only duty of Our messenger is to convey (the message) plainly (clearly).

Jinn, I Win!

By now I know they've called me just about every name there is, but the only thing You have found really wrong with me is my exercising 'too much self- restraint', as if that's a bad thing.

When I write these things, I convince myself that I am sending them into the great Unknown, and judging by the trivial amount of traffic this site gets, the Void is more like it; but once in a while someone leaves a comment or pulls up the page with a search phrase that makes me think these peregrinations are reaching a much wider audience than is within my ken.

Having responded to a recent comment yesterday addressing what I thought was the main point Anonymous was getting at, I came to realize there was a secondary issue Anonymous brought up that needed more than a 1 or 2 sentence response. Along with major points Anonymous was trying to make about their take on Angels and Demons, or How to Resurrect the Gospel, he? mentioned praying.
..
.
.
.
.

Specifically, Anonymous said,


'...Everyone prays but few believe that they are being heard and
that their prayers have the slightest chance of being answered. What if they
were? How many times have you prayed for someone to go to Hell.
Which one cannot do on his own. But it is a form of prayer on (sic)
some soften it with I wish rather than I pray....'

By 'you', I didn't know whether they meant 'you' in general, or whether the question was directed at me in particular; so I can't just let this one go thinking this is any way to pray.

When praying, it is important to guard one's prayers. Mine must be very tightly guarded since Anonymous doesn't even come close to guessing what's in them. But since Anonymous teaches the Bible and, as a natural outcome, is probably teaching his students prayer, it is important to have the right formula for prayer.

Some things to exclude, or guard one's prayers against are:

Asking for Material Things

Presuming to tell God what to do (even if its shaped as a Wish)

I found it appalling that someone would pray that someone else goes to Hell or that Anonymous might think that's what I pray for. That's not what prayers are for.

Prayers are meant to reinforce such parts of your experience that shape your Reality. Take for example, The Lord's Prayer which contains these key elements:

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven....Give Us This Day...Deliver Us....Thy
Kingdom...Thy Will...Earth...Heaven...

Since Jonah was mentioned in earlier posts, here is an example of how he prayed (paraphrasing):

'Forgive me Lord, I know I have been among the Lost
(Oppressive)'

And I hope Anonymous is not disappointed to find out that the following is one of my most often repeated prayers:

'I hope my children are always (all ways) a Pleasure to Your Eyes.'

Chapter 72 deals with that alternative life form, we call Jinn, and it relates that they are made up of communities and have diverging beliefs and follow different creeds just like the Human counterpart. It is a discourse on how some were/are receptive to the Message, which they find Reasonable. But what is really intriguing is their allusion to having the ability to 'listen in' or 'sense lightly (remotely)' the things that go on in Heaven (the Sky above them). And how these Heavenly goings-on are guarded and those trying to become privvy to (spy on) them do so at some cost to themselves, if they are not among those invited to listen.

72:26 عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا
72:27 إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا
72:28 لِيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا

72:26 Only He Knows the Unseen and does not Reveal His Secrets to anyone
72:27 Except whom He embraces for a messenger and only then Exhibits what is in His Hand and he is guarded/monitored at the back (supported)
72:28 To know (So they may know) he has recounted (reported what was consigned to him) the Messages of his Lord and He Encompasses (takes into Account) what is given them; everything numbered (enumerated).

As for the rest of it, and on a lighter note, you thought I didn't get it (understand)--just because you know I have over-extended the single brain cell I have left and I act the part doesn't mean I really am an idiot-- "You See? I tricked you!" (say that with Mariam's accent and it's really funny).

I was reading this http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/22/georgia.landfill.body/index.html totally not what I was expecting but there it is.

'Who is Seeley's dad living/nesting with Diane/Diana in a row house that may have an A on the door? possibly the house was built by Sancho John or St. John?'

Then I remembered reading this article yesterday and have to post in response Mother's final duty to soldier son: Escort his body home

46:15 We have enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents.
46:16 In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth; and her bearing him and his utter dependence on her took thirty months.
46:17 and so, when he attains to full maturity and reaches forty years,
46:18 he prays: “O my Sustainer! Inspire me so that I may forever be grateful for those blessings of Thine with which Thou hast graced me and my parents, and that I may do what is right that will meet with Thy goodly acceptance; and grant me righteousness in my offspring Verily, unto Thee have I turned in repentance:
46:19 I am of those who have surrendered themselves unto Thee!”

The Chair And The Lamp

There are many references to God's Attributes throughout the Quran, often appearing as Names in conclusion to a passage. However, there are 2 very important Signs that give deeper insight into God, expounding either Unique Qualities as in 2:255, commonly referred to Ayet-al-Kursi (The Chair/Throne), or given by an accessible Similitude as in 24:35, commonly referred to as An-Noor (Light).

Sign 2:255 Al-Kursi (The Chair/Throne/Domain)


24 Noor (Light)

24:35 اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ
...الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ

24:35 God is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. Like the Light of a Lamp containing a Msbah; the Msbah is in a zjajtn; the zjajtu akin to a kawkab duri; stoked from a Blessed Olive Tree; not Eastern nor Western; its oil almost shines (glows) without any fire having touched it. Light Upon Light. God Gifts (Guides unto) His Light Whom He Wills; and God Strikes Parables/similitudes for People, and God is Aware of (Knows) Everything

Table 2:255 did not forget Time attribute; so far having difficulty putting it into words.

---Ok. Besides God, who out there already knows the Theory of Everything and why haven't we read about it--is it below the fold (on the front page)? Table 2:255 (A,1) Imparts Charge, Charges; (A,2) Recharges; (A,1) might also mean vicinity/locale; (A,3) not affected by/repels inactivity/ground state/and resistance !0 && !ohm; (A,4) contains/includes all Power (reference Watts (ms) wrt ground/Earth; this can be scaled to the system so in an atom the 'earth' is the nucleus or the ground state and the sky is the 'electron cloud' or excitation; if 'all' is taken to mean the sum of the Power or Force is in discrete values and not continous); (A,5) no interference without 'permission' --selective interference; (A,5) domain includes sigma P (Watts -ms) wrt ground/Earth; (A,7)energy does not dissipate although it imaparts charge/energy (dR)=0;

Time in 2:255; 'Knows what is between their hands'and what is behind them'; 'between their hands' = Present but also intersticial since it is 'between' and 'what is behind them' is Past or not in their line of sight; Present 'between their hands' also means what is about to happen since it could be 'in the works' or being developed so that would include Future the nuance again is intersticial--so this would be a reference to time dilation.

Here is one way to go about this:

My friend says 'Enough with the Magilla Gorilla and Ogee jokes!'

I wouldn't call this 'bad math' but rather more 'mystical math'; for instance 'is aware of everything' means contains everything' and 0 can be a valid sum of all numbers...

.

.

24:35 gives the qualitative properties of the God's Light:

_

24:35 Table above left describes the light itself:

the second Table 24:35 above right describes the fuel source (the 'tree that stokes it and its oil') of the Light:

(A,1) stoked of a blessed olive tree; fueld/stoked from a tree (crytal growth?) mo (oxide of metal or molar) Ba-Ra--Ca--Sn system zay.tu.na.tin like 2Na-Sn or Na-TiN system: taking for example the alkaline metal/tin system Barium Stannides are tree-like chain polar anions where the valence electrons contibuted by the Sn is 2 and in the case of the Na-Sn system I think it also forms a zintl ion or a polar cluster, specific to the case of Ba Sn the 'tin layers are made of condensed {Sn6} rings in chair formation'; one application for these types of systems is in supercondutors, etc
(A,2) not east or west leaves North-South dipoles ; dipoles/or dielectic values re-inforces superconductors/seeded plasma; taken in context with The Chair 2:255 above and the referecence to !ohm (0 resistance) and generating large currents with nearly 0 energy dissipation; the concept of superconduction is re-inforced here.
(A,3) Its oil virtually shines/glows without fire; luster/luminosity of zaytuha (like 2 Ha or T U Ha system) is virtual i and radiationless

• There must be a conspiracy about how I got all this wrong; yesterday a collegue was practicing a new grip on his table tennis paddle and I casually mentioned I can't play the game since I have difficulty tracking the ball and he up and says, "You have to do more differential equations!"

Prismatic

The following are only primary examples of how the first 5 Signs in Chapter 100 of the Quran can be interpreted. There are as many variations on this theme as there are colors in the rainbow; not one is more relavent than the others, and none can be taken as erroneous; the information the Signs contain is only limited by our understanding of the World around us and how effectively we can extract it. As an additional consideration of timeliness; consider the alternative meanings of the word Coursers; one that means a huntsman that uses hounds that search based on sight rather than scent or may be referring to the hounds themselves.

Surah 100 Al'Adyati (The Coursers/Ancients)

Let me explain it to you, Lucy...

Quran Surah 100 Al-'adyat (The Coursers/Ancients)
100:1 وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
100:2 فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
100:3 فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
100:4 فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
100:5 فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

Classical Interpretation

100:1 And the Coursers Panting/Chargers Snorting/Huffing
100:2 Striking sparks of fire
100:3 And changing the Day (Outcome)
100:4 Leaving A Trail of Dust
100:5 Cleaving Through the Center (of the Fray)



Physics
100:1 Mention standard illuminance Hα (Hydrogen alpha)
100:2 And bellows ignite Mo (Molybdenum)
100:3 Mention reduction
100:4 Mention raising dust; had raised by N sign; raised the SOCI (spin
orbit configuration interaction) by purifying it
100:5 Mention mediated
together (as a group; collectively)
Chemistry/Biology/Medicine
100:1 Mention ordinary Illumination of HA(==Hahnium or Hyaluronic Acid or Ca5(PO4)3OH hydroxyapatite or humic acid (half life measured in centuries))
100:2 And irrigation of Mo (molybdenum) Or A cup of Muriatic acid; mention pain in the lungs
100:3 Mention reduction (=defamation ie. lower state/reduction)/cell meiosis; changes pouring/decanting/infusing HA
100:4 Mention impact of Nitrogen soaking A (first substance as in 100:1); mention the dust/sediment soaked with it; affecting the fall rate
100:5 Mention collects at the center/cleaves at the center (depending on which experiment is run)
Computer Science/Systems Engineering

100:1 Mention an ordinary Gator Board (circuit board configuration?)or lizard abode (no doubt where we get the notion about reptilian aliens)
100:2 And the PAD EAT ZB-- HA!
100:3 for acceleration, mass, time, force and Joules, concern (fear)
distance, Petawatt ; or converter/frequency altered
100:4 So they’re warned NSPA (n’es pas); soaking/inundating (reference to tsunami alert system?)100:5 Priority que(ing) I notify (warning/telling/informing) CMPA (P and Q INBE CMPA)
Astronomy/Humans
100:1 Mention the usual position of the Hour Angle (Right Ascension)
100:2 Mention the Moors quarters/stations cup/prize??
100:3 Mention alters morning/the dawn
100:4 Mention raising dust
100:5 We gathered the crowd with it


There is an indirect reference to Thessalonians I, can you find it?
It would take some time to explain all of the interpretations of Signs 100:1-100:5; but the Astronomy/Human angle is accessible to many, so while it appears to be the last example rendered above, I thought I would attempt that first (FILO).

100:1
Hour Angle is one of the coordinates that locates the
position of a point on the celestial sphere and is equal to the difference
between the object's local sidereal time (LST) and its location, or the
objects Right Ascension (the celestial equivalent of terrestial longitude; usually denoted as RA or α).

HA is given by: HAobject = LST - RAobject

The other point needed to fix the position is the
declination.

100:2

The Moors were the among the earliest to navigate using the Astrolabe, Quadrant,
and Compass; using such instruments was revived only later by the Europeans. The
Moors originated in Northern Africa and one of the earliest examples of the
Quadrant was the Water Clock at Alexandria. Perhaps that is what is meant by the
Moor's 'quarter' since the Quadrant is 1/4 of an Astrolabe. The Moors were also
reknowned for their Architecture and their most notable Prize(s) are the
Alhambra Mosque in Granada and/or the Great Mosque in Cordoba, Spain. The Cup
could also be a reference to winning some sports event connected to any or all
of the above mentions.

100:3

Indicates that the celestial event whose RA is given in 100:1 and appears to
be local to areas bearing significance to Spanish Moors; either their
architecture in Cordoba or Granada or perhaps at a sporting event will appear to
alter the day; maybe a fancy way of saying an eclipse or something someone more
savvy than me can conclude based on what is written here.
100:4

There are many meanings to 'Raising Dust'; such an event can arise from the
weather. When we die we return to dust, so in a manner of speaking, one could
infer a Resurrection is another way of 'Raising Dust.' Or on some level what is
happening in the skies over Spain, a UFO? mayhaps, is an instrument for raising
dust.

100:5

Sounds like it is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser!
Note: On the less Romantic take, maybe there is some association with Moorish Architecture in the City of Opa Locka Florida (does it still have one of the highest crime rates in the country?) and perhaps streets associated with Cups or Prizes.

There are several things going on with the interpretation of 100:1-100:5 wrt Chemistry/Biology/Medicine.

100:1

1. One of the things called to attention is HA; taken to mean
   Hayluronic Acid for one instance.


2. The next instance is HA taken to mean Hahnium (Dubnium);
3. In the case of Humic Acid; it could be referring to soil treatment, carbon dating, or cleaving carbon macromolecules (as in coal).

100:2

1. I don't understand how anything in 100:2 such as Mauriatic Acid (hydrochloric acid) may apply to the following nitrogen associations with Hyaluronic Acid, yet.


2. The transition metal Hahnium (Dubnium) taken with a secondary metal Moly (Mo, Molybdenum)
3. Muriatic acid is basically HCl used in sample hydrolysis; the humic fraction of organic samples are not soluble in acid; however the fulvic fraction is soluble in HCl.

100:3-100:5

1. In 100:3 there is something remarkable about soaking Hyaluronic Acid in Nitrogen. A cursory search for the effects of Nitrogen associated with Hyaluronic Acid yielded the following result: In an article published in Biotechnology Progress, (Physiological implications of glucose and complex-nitrogen-limited growth, by M.J. Cooney, T. Gohl, et. al, 1999, v. 15, no. 5, pp 898-910) the investigators found that Nitrogen-limited growth (Nitrogen soaking alluded to in 100:4) of Hyaluronic Acid increased the yield (collected at the center, ie, amassed as indicated in 100:5) while reducing its (HA's) molecular weight (100:3 mentions reduction).


2. There is a method for depositing an elemental metal M(0) (formal charge zero) film on a semiconductor substrate comprising: exposing a first metal precursor to a reactive agent in the presence of a supercritical solvent containing an excess amount of neutral labile ligands, wherein the metal in the first metal precursor has a first oxidation state, wherein the first oxidation state is a thermodynamically favored oxidation state of the metal; forming in-situ a second metal precursor, wherein the metal in the second metal precursor has a second oxidation state, and wherein the second oxidation state is lower than the first oxidation state and is less thermodynamically favored; exposing the in-situ formed second metal precursor to a reducing agent and/or thermal energy; reducing the in-situ formed second metal precursor to the elemental metal M(0); and depositing the elemental metal M(0) film on a semiconductor substrate while minimizing formation of metal oxides. Read more; In this case the neutral labile ligands is associated with Nitrogen soaking such as dinitrogen/amines/nitriles. Is this the reducing agent in this case? Can anyone describe the reaction?


3. There are cases for reductive cleaving of molecules when treating biomass mobile decay products containing Humic Acid. It is of interest to note the effect of Nitrogen on the sedimentation rate. Again, not having ready access to the literature I am at a loss as to why this is significant and worth mentioning.

The Physics perspective is intriguing, unfortunately, I don't have membership that allows ready access to the work that pertains to what is going on in 100:1-100:5 wrt to Hydrogen alpha emissions and Moly. I managed to locate one article that could tie it all together, but I can't draw any conclusions based on the abstract, (I guess You don't want me to think too hard and hurt myself), maybe someone else can have better luck:

The Study of MARFE During Long Pulse Discharge in the
HT-7 Tokamak, by W. Gao, X. Gao, M. Asif, et. al; Journal of Nuclear
Materials, v. 363-365 , 15 Jun 2007, pp 770-774.

If it's Astrophysics we are talking about, Astronomers
can recognize the significance of Hydrogen alpha emission (Λ = 6562 Angstrom and its relationship to cosmic gas clouds (the dust in this case).

What is remarkable or to be kept in mind is that it's the ordinary or standard Hα we are talking about; Nitrogen, the collective effect on/of Moly and purity, mediation and the sign raising, and the spin orbital configuration interaction all seem to factor into this particular observation.

Ok. The Computer Science/Systems angle has me stumped; I got a D in that one class I took in school (D for Dungeons and Dragons, and my Prof. said he was generous not to have given me an F for 'Few Females Fare Well in his class').

But how's this for inspiration:


Elephants can hear with their feet; a PAD resembling
gator boards; pressure/acoustic/seismic activity/waves.




Elephant's Foot ==Pressure Discretization In A Pipe

A BEES Cs

What does BEES stand for other than our busy humble bumble?

Bees produce honey and the Queen bee produces Royal Jelly and each have benefit for us as well as the bees. Bees also emit chemical scent trails to help their hive mates locate feeding locations; and that may be of benefit to people as well.

16 Nahl (Bees)
وَأَوْحَى رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ 16:68

16:68 And your Lord inspires the Bees to make their home in the Mountains and the Trees, and whatever they enthrone (they (humans) make as a seat of power, appoint for them as abodes...)

ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلاً يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ
أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاء لِلنَّاسِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 16:69

16:69 So partake of every Fruit فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ (and Follow your Lord's Way/Path; but this can also mean a wireless form of transmission; radio transmission?); issues from their bellies fluid of various colors (different fluids; various applications), in it is Healing for People; in this are Portents (Signs) for People who think (to consider)

And consider that the various fluid(s) issuing from the bee do not necessarily have to be liquid, but gas; or anything that you may deem is in constant Flux or flowing; yes, that includes RF signals.

3:7 هُوَ الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ

3:7 He it is That Revealed to you The Book bearing Signs Secure (Clear) Source (Mother) of All the Books, and some Allegorical (Signs); for those in whose hearts is disease view its similarity in order to interpret it for sedition; but Only God Knows Their True Meaning, and those firmly grounded in Knowledge say, 'We Believe in it All (its Entirety comes) from our Lord'; it will be Recalled only by Men of Understanding (variant: and Recalls it Only the First of the Kernels--strong variant based on breaking syllables; not given by any classical interpretation; use with care)

Truth And Beauty

"The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and precision which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree" —Aristotle

"Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare. Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace."—Edna St. Vincent Millay

"There are some who will by no means allow of this, and say that men are guided by a variety of opinions in their judgment of beauty...and not be tied to any rule of art. A common thing with the ignorant, to despise what they do not understand."
—Leon Batista Alberti

I was thinking about my friend Alan the other day; he kindo’ popped into my head while I was reading The Golden Mean, Mathematics and the Fine Arts… by Charles F. Linn (an old book I rescued from the local library’s Discard pile). It talks about things we all learn in school but time and tide soon erases (in other words, I forgot).

What we call Beauty is intricately bound to our appreciation of ‘proper proportion’. It is reflected in our art, architecture, and music; it’s what we aim for when we modify or dress ourselves and what we call beautiful when we see it in others.

Pythagoreans found that the relationship in proportion when trying to represent 3-dimensional figures in 2-dimensional space is not as aesthetically pleasing if expressed in ‘True’ proportion using only rational numbers, but that in order for the subject to look ‘Right’ one could not avoid dealing with irrational numbers. (What is the Reality; the one that is True (Construction?), or the one that is Right (Perception)?)

The irrational number that roused artists most derived from Euclid’s Elements “… to divide a line segment such that the ratio of the large part to the whole is equal to the ratio of the small part
to the large part.” This ratio works out to be to 1.


I suddenly recalled that I had seen this Beauty in the distance relationship between the Earth and the Sun relative to that of Venus presented at solargeometry.

Earth = Venus^ ¾ * = 2.583306

This is only one example, but Beauty is all around, if one is so inclined to take a gander; and as the trite saying goes, 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.' Have you considered what Physicists think is Beauty (Top) and how it is coupled to Truth (Bottom)?

Those out there interested in Area 51 might be interested to know that Signs 51:5-51:7 deal with Truth and Judgment and Reality and how the Heavens are Intertwined.

Intertwined, knitted together, or interwoven are apt terms to describe subatomic particles and their collective behaviour (as a flock, one might say); a case in point being that of Truth and Beauty. One branch of mathematics that lends itself to dealing with this sort of interlocking is braid theory (braid groups).

There is a couplet that refers succinctly to Beauty in Chapter 92 Lail (Night):

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى 92:6

92:9 وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى

92:6 And Supports/Ratifies/Backs Up Beauty

92:9 And Belies/Negates/Falsifies or Gives a False Impression to Beauty

Braid groups can apply to 2 or more strands (strings?), but generally speaking 3 strands must be twined together in order to make a stronger 'rope' than any one strand by iteself. Searching/ searching/ searching; I came up with this in Chapter 38 Suad :

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَى وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ 38:25

38:25 We foregave (David) this (lapse in Judgment) because for him with Us is 'Excessive Raising' and 'Beautiful Mab' (classical interpretation: and Beautiful return/reward/goal/journey's end/final destination; but I am thinking: 'Beauty; m, a, B'-- 'Top, mass, acceleration, Flux')

The word 'belies' or 'lies' in 92:9 might be indicating a direction, since one of the meanings of lie is to be in a particular direction, as well as falsify or negate, or give a false impression to something. This indicates whatever lies in 92:9 has this effect on Beauty as opposed to that which lies in 92:6 that seems to enhance Beauty or make it manifest.

For the 3rd strand I selected Sign 38:25 since it is the conclusion to a case that David hears wherein he comes to discern the Truth of the matter before him; and since Truth is coupled to Beauty ---well, why not?

Let's treat (92,6), (92,9) and (38:25) as Vectors for the strands (Top, Bottom, and the 3rd thing we shall call 'Judgment?'/ or, 'Justice' ) and see what happens if an astute student of topology and/or abstract algebra can solve for the kernel of the matrix, aka the null space (to A Page In The Life affecionados aka Zero Point Field).

At any rate, the story about David is referred to in its classic telling, but I wanna tell my side of the story; something to pass the Time while we're all Stranded here:

38:1 Suad ص

اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ 38:17

38:17 Be patient of whatever they say and remember Our servant David (Digital Audio Visual/analyzes all these forms of data input) whom We supported (allied); he was AWAB (=area work avoidance behaviour) (=ever turning/returning to Us==surfing the Web)

إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهُ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِشْرَاقِ 38:18

38:18 We caused the Mountains(=masses=elevation=puff out=inflaton) to Sing(=intone/voice/phonon) with him to Extol (=love/find irresistible/follow/gravitate to) Us by night(= dark; female force==yin) and sunlight(=shining/daylight/light==mental illumination<=insanity)

وَالطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةً كُلٌّ لَّهُ أَوَّابٌ 38:19

38:19 And ‘that which flies (around)’ (the airborne stuff) cornered each, to Him, AWAB (ever returning=makes more work avoidance behaviour)

38:20 وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُ
وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَاب

38:20 And We Induced (inducted/strengthened) his Dominion and gave him Wisdom (=Judgment/Rule) and Separation (partitioning) of Speech(=Parse data/Letters/words/language/communication)

وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ نَبَأُ الْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا الْمِحْرَابَ 38:21

38:21 And did the News reach you about the dispute (discount/concession/reduction) between (pertaining to, of the) tesseral (=تَسَوَّرُوا ) niche (niche tessera; recess/bay/alcove or these subatomic mosaics energy/states/etc.)?

38:22 إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى دَاوُودَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ
خَصْمَانِ بَغَى بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ
وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَا إِلَى سَوَاء الصِّرَاطِ

38:22 When they entered unto David so he panicked (sounded the Alarm) from seeing them (when he detected them); so they said, 'Do not be afraid. We have a dispute (rivalry/competition) between us (about something); judge (Rule/make a determination) between us Rightly (in Truth/with Justice); and without doubt(تُشْطِطْ =plausibility) and guide us both (together) on the Path." (presumably the proper course/straight way)

38:23 إِنَّ هَذَا أَخِي لَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً
وَلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي الْخِطَابِ

38:23 In fact (True), this my brother has 99 ewes (dark/female/yin members of a flock); and I (only) have 1 ewe( see prior); so he said, 'She is better suited to me,' and he annoyed me with a Speech!" (=irritated me with 'a constant lecture/intonation' or noisy particle, ie. phonon; or with 'Line B'; what effect does the phonon emission have on Truth?)

38:24 قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ
إِلَى نِعَاجِهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْ الْخُلَطَاء لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْ
وَظَنَّ دَاوُودُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ

38:24 (David) Said, "He wrongs you by asking for your ewe(ibid) and mix it (add it) to his ewes (ibid); and (in Truth) many (business) partners (part owners) wrong each another, except those who believe and do righteousnous (fit/Top form/upright/good), and few are such." And David thought that "Ah, Charms (I've been tricked)!" And he sought forgiveness from his Lord (Sustainer; makes me just wanna pull the plug!) and jabbed kneeling (thrust his knees to the ground) and turns (وَأَنَابَ = noticed; if he had the same reaction I just did when I deciphered/noticed what this story was about, David probably dropped down to his knees doubled over with laughter when he got it too! )

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَى وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ 38:25
يَا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ
فَاحْكُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

38:25 So we foregave him in this manner, and, truly, for him with Us is Excessive Elevation (heightend state of excitation is the effect We have on David) and a beautiful reward (Beauty m, a, B; and since Beauty is bound to Us this is the effect We (that 3rd particle, Judgment) have on it.)

38:26 يَا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ
فَاحْكُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ

38:26 O, David! True, We made you Judge upon the Earth; so, Rule/Judge between the People Honestly (in Truth) and do not follow fancies (Passions) that lose (mislead) you away from God. Truly, those misled (lost) from God's Path (Way), for them severe suffering/punishment for forgetting the Day of Judgment (Reckoning/Account).

Who knows we might find The God Particle?

--can you tell I stayed up past 3 am? I'll go over all this tomorrow and see just how hair brained I got...why?>because it all has to do with some kind of Generator...

Note: Well, now it's the next morning, have had my latte and all this looks a little Strange!

Note 2: Now it's later the afternoon of the next day and it still looks phunny. & no, I did not Phlunk Physics...
Note 3: Later the following morning and it still looks bad for me; it's looking like I have to rebuild that entire spaceship starting with just a single Strand...

Note 4: The Bizarro cartoon posted 10/12/2009 from that day's Los Angeles Time; an example of Synchronicity; thanks for keeping the blog's formatting in mind for the funny.

The Earth Says Look

Earthquakes was not supposed to be the topic of this post, but the subject came up in an earlier post so I will attempt it. I was actually debating whether to post on Truth and Beauty, which came up during the diatribe about Ugly Math , but those will have to wait.

In A Tree, An Apple, A Wineskin there is a reference to the earth getting a jolt and the mountains turning to powder which I understood to mean something pertaining to mining activity. The reference does not exclude that it could be about earthquakes too, but there are other Signs that are more specific to earthquakes than 56:4-56:6.

The two that spring to mind are 7:91 and 7:78 which refer specifically to the fate of 2 communities that suffered actual earthquakes.

The word for the activity jolting the earth in 56:4 is رُجَّتِ with a primary sense of shake, rattle, concuss (an injurious shock or jolt).

In 7:91 and 7:78 however, there is a more subtle use of the word رَّجْفَةُ meaning tremor, shiver, and tremble indicating earthquake.

The subtlety is that in 56 the effect is a mechanical shaking or concussion (which also implies injury), but in 7 the effect pertains to wave dynamics since a tremor refers to a fluctuation in sound or light; and shiver and tremble refer to shaking from illness, intense feelings or fear.

Just as a point of interest, one of the Divine Attributes or Names of God is The Subtle.

So, what are we to look for if we want to predict Earthquakes?

I guess we have to ask a friendly Seismologist, but tremors have to do with quivering or flickering, so we would want to look for a sputter in the electromagnetic profile of the earth or perhaps in its acoustics (do we study Earth acoustics?)

My Turn To Say WTF?

I swear to God!

A mathematician is a maker of patterns...
His patterns, like the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful;
the ideas, like the colors or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way.
Beauty is the Final Test.
There is no permanent place in the world for Ugly Mathematics.
--by G. H. Hardy

I am no fan of War or Warriors but if there is anything I cannot stomach it's Bad Math!



Cancer-stricken Marine 'sick with disgust'

What is the statistical incidence of Male Breast Cancer in the US Male Population of those residing in the US from 1965-1984?

What is the statistical incidence of Male Breast Cancer in US Navy Marines serving at Camp Lejeune during that same period of time?

I know all the high paid Actuaries are working for the Insurance Companies, but for Goodness Sake, is there not 1 Non-Simian among them?

The history of mathematics is the history of civilization
—David Eugene Smith

I demur when it comes to judgment, but I still can submit a status report:

This is not salvage-able. Need a Plan A to start Fresh.

You, my dear Buttinsky, who interrupted my reverie, should take some responsibility and fix this, because I am tired of waking up to all this dysfunction--this is not my persistent delusion of Ugly (I am not saying these guys are ugly, but the negligence that led up to their quandary and the way they are being treated is!)

I mean, what do they mean, they can't find a link? These guys aren't asking for breakfast sausage, they expect the People they served to live up to the Promise they made in return for such service--we can't at least make them comfortable? We made all the bankers who made us go bust comfortable...

We got no money? We get up, spin our wheels to get somewhere each day and we stop to eat a little something--and That is money--so unless we have all evaporated we haven't run out of money.

While 51 can be alluding to weather, it can just as readily apply to Soldiers (Armed Forces)

51 Al-Zaryati (Those that Scatter/Those who March)
وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا 51:1
51:1 When the Marchers reach their pinnacle,

==when the Armed Forces have gone as far as they can go, those that are dead and those still living

51:2 and the carriers (those burdened) read/understand/interpret

==and those burdened with them come to read or interpret these Signs

فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا 51:3
51:3 and those that run facilitate,

==facilitated by those that run which include computers and in my case Google language tools and Babylon free online translation

فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا 51:4
51:4 and those that divide/apportion (decide the) matter (execute God’s Will)

==and those that decide the matter pertaining to what these Marchers set out for (including computers and other mechinations that divide according to God's Will)

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ 51:5
51:5 Certainly, what you are promised is True

==what you have been promised will come True (has come to pass)

وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ 51:6
51:6 and,Truly, Judgment is a Reality

==a Final Judgment is a Reality (God's Will)

وَالسَّمَاء ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ 51:7
51:7 By the firmament interwoven ( interlinked/entwined *think braid groups*)

==I bear witness to the heavens full of interwoven/linked paths (planes of existence that intersect)

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ 51:8
51:8 you are of differing opinions (beliefs)

==that you all have differing opinions (regarding The Last Day/Day of Judgment and everything else))

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ 51:9
51:9 refusing to disengage (disassemble/stand down)

==preventing you/you refuse to stand down because you think there is no One else to account to

قُتِلَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ 51:10
51:10 Killed are the Conjecturers

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ 51:11
51:11 who are immersed in forgetfulness

==who may appear to be stumbling around in a state of drunken stupor (probably toxic exposure)

يَسْأَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ 51:12
51:12 asking, “When is that Day of Judgment?”

==and they are awaiting that Day of Judgment... (probably because of wrongful death; anyone keeping track how many scientists/thinkers have gone 'dark' i.e., left for dead/unaccounted for just since WWII?)

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ 51:56
51:56 I did not Create the Jinn and the Humans except to Worship (Love/Adore/Venerate/Follow) Me.

==otherwise they are more than likely to get lost in space (with all those interwoven tracks)--

مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ 51:57
51:57 I do not need from them any sustenance nor do I need them to feed Me

==that means 'This Is God Talking'--

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ 51:58
51:58 Truly, God Himself is the Sustainer, Lord of All Might, the Eternal!

==we need to Follow God for our own good because He Himself is beyond need (and does not get lost in space)--

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ 51:59
51:59 (Certainly) those doing wrong sinned like the sins of their friends; so do not ask Me to rush it!

==i.e., don't you think I have seen this sort of thing before? so what's the hurry? --and, thus, my suggestion for Plan A gets slammed--
