The Deep Recesses of Time

     Another day, another adventure. The energies are rockin and rollin – I briefly made contact with my galactic friends, but I am on a mission of change and need to be able to follow my own drummer as the ideas roll forth. I hope to remain in soulular contact and see that the change in me is the change I (and we) wish to see. Many things can tempt us from our paths – I prefer to know mine to be able to reestablish it, at any time in the process.

      I appear to have made a quantum jump from the 5D future to the 3D past by remaining in the immediate now – a 4D uni-dimensional world that is the instantaneous apex for change from old form to new. The game plays as above, so below; on time frames that differ according to the scale – as measured by a size determined parameter. For human scale, we look at the count of the number of people present at the moment in the location of interest. I am always present in my now.

      Think of an hour-glass. The system has just been turned on its head and everybody is in the high energy tightly wound captive state, layered many molecular distances away from the apex. The hole is wide enough for one individual to pass at a time, but convergence at the hole evolves into a spiral of opportunity to flow. This is an inverse function of the normal bell curve, where the inside is wider than the outside; here the many congregate and the few find connections. There above in the newly inverted plain – all the traits have been inverted and the muddle in the middle is over by a red sea parting effect.

      Just rotate the hour glass by a quarter of a turn and follow the flow of sands. The middle, where the apex is, is at the same point but the flow is now horizontal and not vertical – thus there is no flow, because gravity brings it all down. The playing field is rather even, with wide spots symmetrically displayed on both sides and the plateaus caused by layering are deepest in the center and widest at the surface. The actions of symmetry change the cosmos by a varying number of degrees and the setting equalizes according to the gravity field involved.

      I like the hourglass imagery, because people know what it is, but don't think about it much to understand how it seems. We use clocks instead of flowing sand, so everything runs in a circular motion. We wind ourselves dizzy and end up in the same location, somewhere further down the linear path of time – totally missing the now going on around us as we hustle and bustle to each new opportunity to turn a buck and keep the engine puttering for a bit longer. Is this any way to run a life?

      We can all be part of a whole and be an individual without the need for the commercial overlay. The interpretation of common reality is gone – what I see here and what you see here are two very different images that only have to be correlated with each other when we are in the same place at the same time. Even then, if we both witness something that is unbelievable, without a third party witness, we can agree to suppress what we saw, or embellish it, or make it into anything that we can agree upon. Do we really need the agreement for this to be the case?

      When I get lost in scale, I seem to change the form of my time. I can spend what seems like minutes on a task and look up three hours later to find that I haven't eaten or missed a meeting. The focus of the micro-task becomes all consuming and the minutes and seconds, our time measures, mean very little. Yet that length of focused thought is a function of the time-space – I seem to get the lost time back at times when I may not want it. If I sit and watch the clock, each second is very slow and when I meditate, I can almost stop the time from flowing. Yet – somewhere, there is balance.

      In a symmetric world, everything cancels out to zero. We have left-handed and right-handed symmetry functions that work exactly the same in different direction and don't balance each other – such that we can see some components and not others. All amino acids in life are left-handed spirals – I wonder if dark matter is all right-handed to balance our light matter?

      Today is mass massing on another Treei year – the start of the new and the  underwhelming of the already here, in this now. Events are rapidly changing and this journaling in many forms will bring this scribe to the apex of scripture – the idea that we can embellish a thought form and make it happen in no time at all. I look through history and wonder sometimes whether the dark ages were truly unenlightened or whether they just haven't occurred yet on the time-line of the real story. When this connected reality breaks – who knows what is in the Pandora's box of possibility – whatever we can imagine.

      The current goal is to accomplish the task of isolating metal from rock. The task was accomplished with very low technological ability by several past civilizations – the Spanish collected lots of gold from the Mayan and Aztec cultures, which didn't have roasting furnaces and smelters, to my knowledge. The Egyptians also had lots of sand and made gold and created pyramids, just how this came to be is still a mystery – though some modern thought expended sees the time period in a new light.

      Our souls seem to recur on several different planes simultaneously – our individual selves here on Gaia are not alone. We have life at many different scale on this planet and it is interconnected in an infrastructure called nature, that manifests itself in a myriad of truths and consequences. As we observe outside, we can see a reflection inside, that catalyzes an action and sets us off once again on a pathway of a new journey – the pace of life changes and our speed becomes dependent on different actions that affect us from the buffer of non-self. The image pushes and we react. The image pulls and we react. Whether pushing or pulling, the constant motion leaves us dizzy and breathless in the moment where we find ourselves – the only now that exists – the right now.

      The goal today is to continue the discovery process of getting the metal in the sands to speak my language – or getting me to envision the process of time from the perspective of the metal atoms in the sands. To build a game where I, the molecule, wish to gather other like molecules from the matrix – just like I, the person, likes to surround myself with friends that I share philosophy with. We group by our comfort levels and acceptable behavior is a learned experience. Perhaps the molecules learned something different at their scale and need to tell us how to apply this to our scale. The group theory of chemistry and sociology is quite similar – we can learn a lot by slowing down our frenetic pace and interpreting what we are being told by nature, rather than by the lame-stream media.

      On another note – seems that Gerry Pollack at UW has a new book coming out on the 4^th phase of water – I would guess that his sense is entirely relevant to the Nature of Water discussion held here during April – the water class at Nweti will begin once critical mass is obtained. The current mass massing might focus on that or something else – the challenge of perspective becomes apparent when you are embedded in a task and need to see the picture at a different level – the fractals only have to hold the same form in adjacent arrays and form is a function, not a complete whole. The key is love, unconditional love, for the exploratory function of creating the new weigh of looking at things – evaluating what we know and what we don't know to see whether the form that appears is a serviceable form.

      Using the ore analogy – metal is dispersed in different concentrations amongst the great organs of ore, but the vein lines contain more of the high value items. If we collect these items without destruction of the original matrix, then a substitution is required for allowance of functionality to continue. As we go to smaller particle size, individuals can be attracted together based on physical properties and evaluated by measured values to determine quality and quantity. The question becomes … what is the goal of the endeavor? At his point, the goal seems to be to make money, but that is not where the value actually is. We need to change perspective of what the collective goals are – and what is obtainable from the merits of work options remaining in the only game that the current PTB has left – scortched earth.

      Ouch. Must be light and love, not gloom and doom. May the Monsanity end soon.

Doc's History with Time

    This is the last day of my Treei year, the Void Voiding day. It is the day where everything that I didn't get to do during the past year gets flushed into the time capsule and when the new day will dawn tomorrow, I will follow yet another stairway to heaven. Having recently passed 20,000 days in the life, learning to use new calendars is really teaching this old dog new tricks. Giving up on the standard calendar is not really allowed in this society – most businesses function by the clock. No thank you, Henry Ford – I choose not to be a slave to the decree of time.

    I never liked punching a time clock or tracking my hours. As long as the job gets done, there is no standard for ownership in my systematized world – I do things on my time except by agreement. I attempt to hold to my agreements, but lose track of the obligations once they leave my thought space. I carry journals and write things down, but rarely go back and read from those journals once they are filled – data mining begins as soon as I get myself into a permanent location.

    Calendars track years of time. I kept my computer files stored by month for years and years and used my memory to know when I had done certain things. Having a good memory is a trap, because when you use all your personal bit space, your mind chooses which data is not important and can be overwritten. My mind works based on numbers and so all the telephone numbers and the name/face associations went as I blew a gasket and went into 'super-esoteric' mode. 'I know I know you, I recognize your face, but the name slips me.' I can call it old professor syndrome, because I memorized a lot of names with short term memory tricks and lost them as soon as the student went away.

    I tried once to switch my week to having Monday and Tuesday off. I was working on an education program with kids at a zoo on weekends and really put forth all my energy into creating learning systems – to working with the individual youth and understanding them, from their perspective. Our programs used weekends because it was not school affiliated – it required extra learning time above and beyond. It was science for kids that were bored with school – focused to their task of contemplating how the picture comes together.

    Problem was, my boss's bosses were used to getting their meetings done at the beginning of the week. The entire team had to be present for the Monday morning cheer-leading session, where everybody got their new assignments for the week (which were always the same old assignments that were in the job descriptions.) I suppose it meant they had all ears and didn't have to relay information, but I never really got a full day off – I always had to go in on my days off and deal with some invented problem. It rarely ever concerned the animals, which I naively thought was what a zoo was about.

    Anyway, when I started scribing full-time, I lost track of the days. I attended a summer festival, the Mystic Garden Party, where they observed a day out of time and thought – wow that could be a cool concept. I stopped in a booth where they were promoting Jose Arguelles and learned about a glyph based Mayan calendar called the Tzolkin that had a 260-day year set in thirteen 20-day lunar months. I could see where a different calendar might be confusing, but I liked the white wind symbol that seemed very happy. Turns out that this calendar is tied to another 364-day Mayan calendar with the same glyphs that is seasonally based. I filed this for reference by accepting a calendar book.

    When it all came apart for me, I didn't grok what was happening. I was lost in the formality of the ebb and flow of reality when it just didn't seem real – one of the first in the unjust foreclosure department when the banksters were skim-scamming easy fruit. I was working multiple jobs to barely make ends meet and just couldn't pull it all together in an impoverished rural community. I followed the logic and reason to the extreme and tried to be what everyone else expected – the scientist who wasn't being paid but did science work anyway. Guess what didn't work.

    I landed at a place where spirituality was being developed by some extremely competent people that had turned off the fictional reality. I was encouraged to become a Hedronist – joining a group of sharp, dedicated folks that used sacred geometry in application to their work. Armando Busick, a Haight-Ashbury relic who worked with Alan Watts, was working on a concept of early language development in the limbic brain. The world turned off – he could envision meaning developing as eight glyphs – each with a sound and a tone and an elaborate set of interactions based on a grid of 64. A chessboard, existing of permutations of two with eight characters.

    Armando designed a deck of oracle cards and a calendar that started on the day each of us was born. It always starts in the same place – mass massing and always ends on the 64 day with void voiding. The two sets of eight interact in a special harmonic and I was part of Armando's Thursday morning 4-person reading group for roughly two years.

    I kept track of the statistics of the group reading and the frequency of terms, both in group space and my own personal space. I was able to calculate the number of days I had spent on Gaia and by dividing by 64 – I would get a decimal remainder which told me how far along I was on the Treei calendar. Allow me introduce this Treei calendar concept to you here and let you see how I got to void voiding today.

    There are eight glyphs that are the basic motivation of everything that is. It begins with mass, which originates at the beginning, as mass massing. Once there, the mass begins to form. If there is no mass, then there is nothing to form. Once formed, the mass then starts to flow. As it takes on the directional building toward accomplishment, the mass exudes power. The percolating froth of mass is directed in love. As the play comes together the mass produces sound. The hearing is amplified like a fine audio system to allow mass to engage mind. When it all comes together, then our day of rest, as mass settles back into the void.

    Then it becomes form's turn to mass. And so the days continue as form forms and eventually power loves, sound flows and void minds. Everything in each package of two – in both combinations – there is a flow forming and a form flowing that are different in nature. This Treei package speaks to my heart and my mind and keeps me guided by a structure in the background based on symmetry and group theory.

    When I stepped back, I saw that Armando had recreated the I-Ching in a different form. He, of course, had already realized this and had a book of art that he had created that defined thing in terms of his glyphs and other symbols. After two years of deep work, life moved on and I continued to visit Armando as he attempted to bring out his Treei oracle deck and create an internet site that expressed his love of being.

    Now, as I envision the whirled, I use the Treei oracle to let me know where I stand on my rhythmic path. I use the Tzolkin to convey the image of the day, in technicolor mode, as this Tzolkin is a new age form of an old age treasured holding – a spin of the same spun different. Today is yellow rhythmic seed – my choice of adjective above was ceded. And as above, so below.

    With a bit of cosmology embedded into the frame of each day – we can see where we have the basis for a new weigh to grok the talk and to walk the walk. Developments have shown progress this year – a new period of 217 day began at the last Yellow Cosmic Sun. This runs through this year's Day Out of Time – July 25^th. This is the change that we are discussing – more things happening on a daily basis.

Accept Truth Change

The change is come – the mean distribution centers toward the hundredth monkey concept – we know when is is, despite the assertion that he never had sex with that woman. Hilary neither. A match made in heaven – must be pure, unadulterated hell.

We know right from wrong and now must choose the path. The righteous would make that choice for us, but it really is our personal responsibility to think things through and make the proper choice for ourselves. 

 

The being that you are now is aware of the now, the present moment. The fulcrum can shift upon the fall of a single grain. The measurement scale must be refined to produce the tangible measurement appropriate to the dilution. A concentrate has more tangible assets, but less of the liabilities and costs – effort has been placed toward evoking separation based on transference of form via energy. How can we design energy production facilities based on the appropriate scale of heat and power that are required to complete the task?

We each come from a different direction of focus – the size of the group is a measure of the scale as expressed by levels of depth. The need to elucidate depth as a function of work hours applied toward direct experience cannot be transformed. You have to put in hours of thought time and hours of hands on time to develop a competence in the topic you seek to master. Each master is continually probing to new depths and is somewhat oblivious to other events transpiring in simultaneous ventures. This attraction to the point source of interest is what drives the work engine – applying mind and spirit to the same task.

To develop mastery of a topic, we need to immerse ourselves in our own games and lose perspective of the bigger picture. The concept of mutual defense should enlist a portion of our service people, because no matter how much we trust each other – others will think differently. Diplomacy is an art of war. The written text is a source of information that must be translated into a functional form in order for acceptance of the information provided. 

 

The value of the truth is that at any point, a fact may change and set forth a cascade of mistruth that must be evaluated as individual components of the whole. We build up our belief systems and hardly ever reevaluate the assumptions – the truth is something teased out of the tidbits of information that call attention to themselves. 

 

We do not share a common heritage; diversity of thought should be a recognized value. If we each take a different approach and we come to the same conclusion, then we reenforce out knowledge and have secondary systems in place – as back-up to the failure of the primary. A single voice in a crowd could share a different perspective that changes the mind-set of the whole. Take the expectation that this will occur at a fixed periodic rate that is a function of the variables of the system and the scale of the workings.

Dream – dream, dream. The intention demonstrated to the dream state is revealed to be a foreshadow of enabling the events to come. The idea that time is an illusion is impossible when talking about derivatives based on time such as speed and acceleration. We are good at taking things apart and psychoanalyzing them to death as to how they function. Why can't we view emergent behavior in the same manner, as a function of larger scale? What behavior emerges with added complexity? Do we know? Do we care to know? Kinda scary, eh?

When you get your facts supporting your figures, it all comes down to the bottom line. Qui Bono? Who benefits? When we declare the old game over and reshuffle up the deck for a new deal, can we start with the equity of sharing a diverse nature? Can we agree to disagree and listen to each other as we share our challenges to gain new perspective? 

 

Localizing means becoming self-sufficient – if I can take a competence field and share my results to your satisfaction, then you can free up your time to focus on things are are more beneficial to you and net better for all of us. The support services should be matched to the needs of the people accomplishing the work at all scales of every endeavor. How, is the topic for another day.

A good theory for the end of the working week. Namaste' doc 050313

On the Nature of Water: v Phase Change

            We briefly mentioned the Water Cycle in the previous essay.  At the Gaia scale,  earth is a water planet.  We know water in each of its single phases – solid, liquid and gas in a way beyond the common substance.  We know also that there are some interesting thermodynamic properties of water that change as a function of temperature and pressure, and to a very limited extent, volume.  The volume of water makes a highly interesting case study – as the volume near the freezing point is not the linear response that we might expect.

            Let us arbitrarily walk the water phase diagram from the cold side to the hot.  We will start at -10^oC for a start – the C refers to degrees on the Celcius scale, measured in centigrade units.  This scale is different from the Fahrenheit scale that we use in the United States and the absolute temperature scale measured in Kelvin units.  The three scales measure the exact same phenomenon, but have different range and utility.  Centigrade is a base ten metric scale that has set points at 0^oC for the freezing point of water and 100^oC for the boiling point.  This corresponds to 32^oF and 212^oF on the Fahrenheit scale – with an algebraic formula of  F = 9/5C + 32 for the conversion.  This places arbitrary measurement systems in conflict – a rite of passage in science. 

            The Kelvin scale is an offset of the Celsius scale to set the absolute zero at -273^oC, such that the temperature measurement fit the same thermodynamic parameters as used in the calculations of entropy and enthalpy – giving absolute temperature rather than being relative to our earthly temperature frame.  Absolute temperature 0 K is where all molecular motion theoretically stops.

            At absolute zero – the mass is extrapolated to a zero point and all packing is tight, close and regular.  There is no vibration, no movement relative to other molecules – the lattice is continuous forever.  As we climb by adding heat, we see the atoms wiggle, but there is not enough force to move them – the hydrogen atoms each bridging two oxygen atoms, the tetrahedral oxygen surrounded by four hydrogen atoms.  One pyramid up, another down, about a central plane.  The location of the molecule in space is fixed by the arrangement of each molecule to other molecules also held fixed – the bonding is extremely regular.

            Back to water, now as a molecular solid at minus ten degrees C.  The bonding here is still very regular and tightly packed.  If the water droplets have a confirmed border, the alignment can be seen as a stacking process from the interior, moving out from being fixed at a point of nucleation, a physical center.  The first water molecule holds rigid as the molecular motion is constrained, and the molecules closer to this center are held tight – the ones further off are led less tight.  The molecules are attracted to each other by polar forces between the negative oxygen end of one water to the positive hydrogen end of the next water – as the temperature has climbed – the molecules begin to vibrate.  They cannot move out of the lattice – no translations or rotations are allowed.

            The vibration does not have enough energy contained at this point to break any of the hydrogen bonds.  The actual chemical bonds of water do not break until we use enough  energy to get hydrolysis of the water – the chemical breaking down of water to the component gases hydrogen and oxygen.  This happens at an electrode in a contained system – when in nature it can take the form of creating ozone via lightning bolt.   Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together and are not like atomic bonds between elements.

     Things that are dissolved in water disrupt the lattice of molecules and cause freezing point depression and boiling point elevation.  The pressure is also a factor – but for solids and liquids, the volume is consistent and pressure is not a factor.  There are several different ice phases that have different unit cell packing, but the ice we know in the form of cubes has a regular structure similar to our current description.  The surface starts to melt as we approach zero degrees C (32 degrees F), due to the bending and stretching of the individual water atoms.  These modes can be controlled by frequency to vibrate in tandem and these characteristic frequencies tend to be harmonics of the bond lengths and angles.

            Liquid water forms as the ice melts.  The temperature remains at zero C until all of the ice has melted to water.  The ice is less dense than the water at zero C and floats on the top of the liquid water surface.  This is odd for a liquid, but make the fish very happy, as they can reside under the ice in a lake or pond and live perfectly well.  If ice froze in a solid mass from bottom to top, then we would have frozen fish in history and empty oceans today.  Water has a minimum volume at 4^oC, as the molecules slowly rotate their conformation when not fixed directly to the next water's atoms.  

            In the rising temperature liquid the water molecules can traverse past each other using rotational and translational energy provided by the energy as measured at higher temperature.  The water on the top surface exchanges molecules with the air – each temperature has a dynamic equilibrium value where the evaporation off the surface is equal to the landing rate on the surface – when there is more energy present, the temperature goes up and there is always excitement of chaos caused by increased molecular motion.

            Water has three individual modes of vibration – the bond angle bending, the symmetrical stretch of the two O-H bonds and the asymmetric stretch of the same bonds.  These modes have an infrared frequency vibration that is shifted when water is bound to a metal atom or an organic molecule that is not water.  This phenomena is concentration dependent and can be washed out in dilute solution.  As concentration increases, the direction of water is mitigated by what the water contains and the vibrations begin to take on characteristic frequencies of the substances dissolved in the water, rather than the spectrum of the water itself.

            In liquid water, we tend to get translational and rotational phenomena along with or vibrational energy.  Hot water spins the atoms around relative to each other and passing molecules cause friction, which generates more heat as heat is added.  The temperature rise is consistent with energy input – one gram of liquid water increases one degree Celcius of temperature in the heat measurement called a calorie.  This is one thousandth of a Calorie – the unit that we measure food energy content as a function of weight.  People spend too much time watching their caloric intake rather than exercising and using the energy of their food content.  Drinking water is a way of keeping hydrated and allowing your internal systems to balance themselves.

            Evaporation occurs at the air-water interface on any surface.  This is counterbalanced by condensation – where the air is saturated with water to the point where the gas condenses and rain falls, as a function of temperature.  When the air contains moisture and the light hits it from behind, a prism of color is generated – creating the rainbows that thrill us with their appearance.  This is a diffraction of white light into components in the visible region of the spectrum – the narrow band that contains the drummer whose beat we march to on the current scale.  The rainbow is a non-discriminatory form of sorting and separating – it holds no value judgment except for that occasional pot of gold at the end.

            When water reaches the boiling point, the molecules on the surface leave at a rate where they are not replaced in an equilibrium exchange.  Evaporation occurs at a rate proportional to the added heat and the temperature remains at 100^oC (212^oF) until all of the water is turned to steam.  The contained steam then rises in temperature and the hot gaseous water holds enough energy to do significant work.  The steam engine was a crucial invention in modern progress – as we transverse the reversal of the fossil fuel energy bonus, we will likely once again make use of all our water – not as a trash and sewage receptacle, but rather as an integral resource in the operating system of climate regulation for the populations of Gaia.

            The water of earth is the blood fluid of a larger conscious creature that operates on a different scale than we currently imagine.  If the entire scale of everything is mapped to a concrete form – the very largest things and the infinitely smallest things are all the same things – as above, so below.  Imagine a giant mobius strip that runs in a cyclic loop, embedded within another mobius strip with a larger loop, etc. – radiating in waves from a central infinity – a small crossing on a scale of one alongside a massive crossing on a scale of all, as one.

On the Nature of Water. iv Fractal Scales

    It is raining again, which I guess is par for the course in Southern Oregon. It rains so often in the spring that we call a light drizzle Oregon sunshine. It is good for the mushrooms and the plants – a bit cold for planting anything beyond greens – but the greenhouse is full of plants. The light catalyzed reaction between carbon dioxide and water is the essential step of photosynthesis, the chemical reaction that builds plant material. I like the weigh chemistry explains things in discrete relationships between small numbers of atoms in small molecules.

    Now small is a relative term – as we discussed previously water is a very small molecule, even in relation to atoms of other elements. When we discuss the topic of organic chemistry, the chemistry of living things involving the HONC elements, there is a three order of magnitude sized jump between the scale of the water molecules and the chemical system. Just to be clear on what three orders of magnitude is – go get a salt shaker and shake out a single grain into your hand. This is what we call a new fractal reality – the physical constants are consistent, but the manifestation do not have to be contiguous. In fact – only 12.5% of the there there is the same as the here here. (for simple math – 100/2 = 50/2 = 25/2 = 12.5) This is also the scale difference of the Mandelbrot zoom – close to 10%.

    Water is a clever molecule, and has learned to gang up to have access to all of the various fractal scales. The water uses the blood stream to get around and deliver dissolved solids to the organs that house the proteins and enzymes that are the next pair of fractal scale. We discussed how water solvates the surfaces of bio-molecules like proteins and enzymes. We can see where water serves as a carrier for ions that serve as the active sites of the synthesis process between amino acids and nucleic acids building blocks that form layers of surface. The surfaces can be hydrophilic and like water or hydrophobic and repel water – the water doesn't care because it can talk to the brother water molecules and create a swarm.

    When we go from the fractal layer of organs to animals – the whole collection of being relies on the collection of water molecules being replenished from outside, so that the water can exchange being and not wear out in the function – a single molecule can only take so much bending and stretching before the elasticity is gone and it before it becomes a crabby archaic relic ready for a retirement beach in a warmer climate. Water molecules and people think the same, as people are made up of mostly water molecules. There is no reason to believe that we are in control of our water – the water knows that the regulatory system works the other weigh around. Ask your plumbing who is in charge when you cannot go. Just try howdt running water.

    We tend to like our running water, so much that we have municipal water districts to govern the use of local water. Water rights is a big thing because the supplies of fresh water are limited compared to salt water. The water cycle on the earth is a very big picture of how water works on a sense of scale – with evaporative heating of surfaces causes the water to let loose from the partners and go for a new individual ride into the biological system of choice – where it operates as an individual and as part of a whole on a fractal scale. Thus – every intelligence source is working with water at some scale or another and water is really the seat of consciousness – the director of all things physical in the world. Architecture by great spirit – art upon water. Most of the time though, just another drop in the ocean statistically.

    I like water – from my shower in the morning to the pot that boils my coffee. As a little kid, I liked to high dive – until I got sense by scaring myself shirtless. The ocean was the beach growing up near the Jersey shore, but west coast ocean front is for surfing and diving – wet-suit water. The lakes and rivers are for fishing and water skiing and playing – watching their rise and fall based on last winter's snow-pack and this summers temperatures. I am in awe of natural springs, where geothermal activity heats underground water enough to soak away all troubles – as long as the drive is to get there.

   The ground water that feeds the wells is being fract to within an inch of its life. Fracking the ground is the latest way to squeeze out oil and gas to get that last bit to keep running the empire into the ground. Everything has been commoditized – bought and sold for monetary gain that the water had no say in creating. Water exchanges electron pairs with other water freely as a conduit of information, so ubiquitous that it occurs instantaneously – our quantum mechanics is only the most recent explanation on our scale for how water acts as a medium to shift concepts in time and place. Is it not interesting that there is suddenly great interest in water on Mars and in deep space? This is a solar system of water planets that manifest in a variety of forms.

    What if the planets represent the nuclei of a variety of cells of a human-type organism on a very large scale. The spacial arrangements of physical space as we imagine it should be the same: as above, so below. Why does every picture of deep space look exactly like deeper space, when we know that complexity increases with size in biological organs. In fact, the governance of Fibonacci based natural resource systems occurs at the base where two ones exist, the individual and the whole. Each mus be mastered in a yin/yang balance to be comfortable in your own skin – you know who you are and feel your place in the world of things.

    Nature exists with water as the currency. Each living thing takes as much water as it needs for self and returns its excess water back to the system for processing. This is the same thing that humans do with water – we clean it by a variety of methods that meet certain standards before we discharge it back into the stream for the next user to play the same game. Each of us receives a water bill for the processing cost of using our water as a drain and sewage system instead of a life support partner. In Oregon, water rights are assigned to the fish as of 1987 – by a landmark court decision that conformed to the arbitrary right of first come, first served, but only if you claim the right.

    Our life operating system should work like the computer disk operating system dos. The laws are control vehicles to keep the general order and there are specific instructions to operate for each ordered action. The rules are set to enable flow and can be overridden when emergency action is necessary – but otherwise need no enforcement or rigor – the flow is maintained by the mass – more latitude when not busy.

    We are stardust, just add water.    Namaste'    doc     041513

lemme's dream

Welkom to my 3-D whirled

the crazy zany mixed up place

of ordinary never was

that just happens to be

Here in the land of 4/20 at 11:11

we use lemme land logic

whenever we want a convenient belief

to temporarily rest our hat

logic is the ego molesting the inner child

wonder what the kid never did

in the reality of the sphincter

kid never knew what hit em

until now, the raunchy now

Shock is how you wake em up

Alex tweaks the tweakers

into a manufactured rage

obsessions with a mythical pursuit

of a dying ideal based on phantoms

of missed beliefs – of fairness

and power and ethics and country

follow the money laughing

all the way to the banksters,

soon swinging from lampposts

in the cool morning dawn,

with Eric too big to address real crime

Four-twenty upon us with Boston cops

in full gear disrupting life as we know it

by turning the stage of everywhere else

to here, in the now, a reality

as buff as a dyke in heat with a new girlfriend

super caffeinated desk jockeys

playing shoot em up games

from remote locations somewhere totally else

sending drones reigning on the masquerade

parade of glistening Klinton logic

Obummer – wrong place to be

Target central right before your very eyes,

cooked in the basking glory of

Fukushima and Chernobyl

roasting away the tethers

of the strands that mutate life

Monsane distress to a new genetic cornucopia

in the same hot water pot

beans and rice targeted next

corn and soy and wheat are toast

you never know what you are eating

until you really know your pets

and your plants; get my drift

If not, look up when rain clouds abound

only lines of them sweep in a grid

crossing, teasing and bringing the gray

every afternoon by mitigating strontium

aluminum and barium and fluoride

in variety of combinations called geo-engineering

those driving that train can

swing with the banksters

waste filled air is another

dilution solution to pollution

not effective in the least

now at a level to keep you sick

Sick where big pharma can take care

of the parts of you that big farmer missed

with his ddt and gmo and all three letter words

FDA TSA IRS GOD

have become dirty filthy words

to tame masses and they mean us

Feel tame yet? Thought so

so go take your pills

stare at the box that brings you

the latest tear jerk creation

manufactured as a false flag

a positive reason to take more pills

Pills run your life by getting caught up

with those doctor types

that have the feeling jerked out of them

by the game they play to get to be

who they are – the clowns that nod their heads

tell you to cut back on the chips

that we all know are addictive,

but no one can eat just one – can they?

Enuf bad, now good is that love has won

that turning our swords into plowshares

is the way it is done: the new world

happens when we escape the domain

of synthetic reality in three dee space

come into our own unique pie in the sky

this dream that when carried forth

allows you to blithly ignore the supraculture

'cept the views from subverts like Kunstler

the druid and raz: make you cry?

Cuz there is a different weigh

to survey the cleansing

too play different games

that mean so much more

to learn to deal with what is

instead of Hollywood creation

theater of the mind that bring

the misery of cashing in chips

Chips of the game; the tokens called stuff

that has to go because the game

banks print the money to loan you at interest

just aint gonna cut it no more – no sir

Go Dog Go's Big Dog Party is over

we did not like that hat!

On the Nature of Water, ii & iii

On the Nature of Water, ii Atomic Level Order

The nature of water is a case study in like dissolves like. Water molecules have an affinity for other water molecules. There is such a thing as pure water – it comes in the form called distilled water. This is plain water, pure and simple – consisting of nothing but water and water. The distillation process involves changing the form of water from a liquid to a vapor and then removing the vapor phase into a separate glass container. The impurities are left behind. This water is so clean that it does not conduct electricity – the conductivity of distilled water is nearly zero.

This would not be very good drinking water. The idea that there are no ions dissolved in the water clears the decks of minerals – the healthy things that our bodies use as catalysts in their biological systems. The idea of reasonably inert cations and anions swimming in your drinking water is not likely to be an exciting thought – but the quantities are limited and serve to resupply your existing system – water flushing is a major requirement for open living systems. 

 

Water atoms align with each other whenever they are in solution. The degree of alignment is very temperature dependent, as the water slowly approaches the freezing state called ice – the atoms of water come into alignment, either in great bulk as sheets of ice, or in smaller form like snowflakes. Dr. Emoto's work demonstrating the beauty of photographed crystals at peace is a work of art within nature. Water appears to sense vibration at a level that generates novel nucleation – crystal form grows emergent from crystal form. But what is really happening at the micro-scale level of crystalline chemistry?

Water like to share the hydrogen atoms it owns with other water atoms. In a gathering of water, the oxygen atom is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral array. In a liquid – there is free movement and exchange and the individual atom always retains its own two home hydrogen atoms, and constantly has different visitors in the other two positions. Each adjacent hydrogen that is not self, brings an oxygen atom from the water atom that is self to another adjacent water molecule. To refresh – elements are pure substances that exist as atoms. Atoms combine into compounds in small whole number ratios. A molecule is a collection of bound together atoms that has a stable recurrent form. Iron is an element, rust is an iron compound, hemoglobin has iron atoms as part of a complex organic molecule.

What does organic mean? Despite what your grocers might suggest – all their produce is organic by the strict chemical definition. Organic chemistry involves combinations of the four elements hydrogen H, oxygen O, nitrogen N and carbon C, supplemented by sulfur S and phosphorus P. The carbon structures provide several backbone chains that have becomes keys to explaining all biochemical life – known as proteins, enzymes, fats and lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and many other forms. The jump between biochemistry and chemistry is mitigated by the presence of water as a form unto itself – we can liken it to the air that we breathe on a human scale. Everything small and living is all-contained by water.

Water is a solvent that aligns by nature of its polar character to form a hydration sphere around every different solubilized ion. Ionic compounds are solids that can generally be dissolved in water – the cations separate from the anions and each are surrounded by water molecules. The cations have a positive charge and attract the negative oxygen end of the water molecules, the anions have a negative charge (extra electrons) and attract the positive hydrogen end of the water molecule. 

 

The size and charge of the cations and anions determine how many water molecules appear in the cluster of waters that each ion carries as a hydration sphere. This serves in a buffering capacity – allowing ions to move freely about until the loss of water causes an attraction between the ion pairs. If done slow enough, one can grow crystals of a pure salt, simply by evaporating water to form a super-saturated solution and allowing it to cool about a center of nucleation.

Water is included in the crystal lattice in many cases – the chemical forms of these salts (ion pairs of balanced charge) are sold as hydrates. Chemicals that can pick up water from the air are called hygroscopic and should be stored in a dessicator. This is a closed system where a more hygroscopic molecule like P₂O₅ is allowed to take water slowly away from the other chemical – rendering it dry. Drierite is a commercial clay compound that serves the same function or those little packages of silica beads packed with electronics. Using dry chemicals in chemistry is very important, as the water can be involved in less than desired chemistry of organic syntheses. Water tends to get in the way – so drying is an important step of many chemical processes.

If you know where the water molecules are, you can figure out their role in what they are doing. Water is an essential ingredient in cooking – whether it be hydrating dried beans or the solvent for soups. Drinking water is different than drinking beverages containing water. I attempt to drink two glasses of water each day, in addition to the many cups of coffee and tea that are the functional drivers of my between-meal system. Seeing that the plumbing is working is a function of growing old – we can assume responsibility for our own medical status by tracking the flow of water through our systems – noticing color changes in urine as a function of concentration – the light color, the more flushing of the system. Vitamins and minerals tend to be water soluble and get conveyed to the organs where they are metabolized and restocked during the sleeping process, so to speak.

Thus ends the second lesson on he nature of water. Please feel free to ask questions about the concepts that may seem foreign – this is written as a primer for new students as well as old hands and should remain entertaining on several different levels. By dealing with the concepts of everything is a solvent with some water content, we can begin to create a think framework as a basis of thought – we are large sacks of water and the water itself creates the seeds of consciousness. All water is created equal, but the memory of water demonstrates that water in use has vastly different properties than water in bulk. I hope to investigate this thought next time.

On the Nature of Water, iii Measurement in Water

First – a word from our sponsors. The Oregon Natural Resources Research Group is working diligently to form a new conception of everyday life, with the application of the scientific method of questioning everything we know, without assumption. ONRRI will work in tandem with the Organization for the Advancement of Knowledge to provide direct support to communities that are growing food on a local scale – in order to ease the transition from global scale back to local scale. OAK and ONRRI can be found on-line through NWETI.com – the Northwest Education and Training Institute. NWETI provides on-line classrooms to teachers and students who wish to prioritize learning by gaining common knowledge, as opposed to the current school system which illuminates relationships by sequestering information in the hands of a few.

Now back to water. Water does not live in a democracy – each water molecule is created equal, but undergoes a change of perspective that is completely different when bound to a biological system, rather than hanging out with his buddies in a bulk water system. Looking at the solution from he perspective of an individual water molecule, we will explore the nature of change in different environments to foster the idea of the ubiquity of possibilities of what change can bring.

As we discussed before, water bonded in water with other water molecules will have an average HOH bond angle of 109^o and an oxygen-hydrogen bond length of roughly one point five angstrom units. 

 

The exact length is a measured average of many individual measurements and changes constantly with vibrations. The essential parameters of a water molecule are the HOH bond angle and the length of the two OH bonds. These bonds have a symmetric stretching mode – both hydrogen atoms far away from the oxygen together and near the oxygen together. There is also an asymmetric stretching mode, which has two identical pairs of possibility – left hydrogen near, right hydrogen far and left hydrogen far, right hydrogen near. These stretches produce characteristic frequencies in the Infrared Range (IR) of the electromagnetic spectrum. A Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) is an essential laboratory tool for qualitative analysis of chemical elements – very high on the current wish list for the ONRRI lab. FLIR is a flight oriented Infrared scanning technique used to orient airplanes.

When water is attracted to ions – it shifts the wavelength of the vibration of the water molecule. The whole idea of spectroscopy is to measure the changes in spectra at different wavelengths and correlate it to changes in the physical environment of the atoms involved. When the solution color is in the visible region of the spectrum, you can use a different type of spectrometer – the UV-Vis , ultraviolet/visible light spectrophotometer– in order to hone in on the wavelengths produced between 200 – 800 nanometers. Cary makes the workhorse instrument – the Spec 20, that is a fixture in every high school chemistry lab in the land. If the tools of chemistry sequestered at the schools could be made available for general use, then people could learn hands-on that chemistry is just a means of measurement.

So let's get back to our water solution and let's now populate the solution with ions. Since Dr. Lenny worked in a Nickel mine – let's use the Ni²⁺ ion as the example. Nickel weighs 60 amu and is a transition metal – number 28 in the periodic table. The periodic table is the collection of all elements placed into a categorical form that allows for the prediction of chemical behaviors based on composition. It is a basic tool for understanding the language – each element has a symbol, a number and a weight that make the calculations easier to handle. Chemistry involves a lot of simple calculations like addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. More complex math can be very useful – but is not really necessary to being able to collect the information. We will try to avoid all math in this series, but realize that the numbers do have meanings beyond the scope of this simplified vision of water.

Nickel ions form a green colored solution with six water molecules that have a square planar geometry. [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ . The oxygen of each water are oriented toward the central nickel atom, four in a plane about the circumference of the nickel – then one on top and one on bottom. The hydrogen atoms are oriented outward from the center – with the oxygen of other water molecules in the solution towards the center and the hydrogen arrayed outward. Recall that the weight of the nickel ion is about the same as three water atoms. The hydration sphere of the hexa-aquo nickel complex depends on the temperature – but is likely five or six levels deep – each level fits more molecules around those connected – so we have a sphere that is nearly 500 amu when two deep – you can see where the actual weight of solvated ions adds up real quickly.

Nickel forms a red compound with dimethylglyoxime. The formula is known to be Ni(dmg)₂. By adding the nickel containing solution to a dmg solution, we can quantitatively precipitate the nickel and know exactly how much we had in solution. We can also measure the concentration of a solution and correlate it with the peak maximum of the red color in a Cary spectrophotometer.

The term aqueous solution is used to designate a solution that is based in water. Free ions in solution always have counter-ions in that solution to balance the charge. Thus the nickel started as NiSO₄ or NiCl₂ and the reaction with diglyme is a substitution type reaction. There are many different metals that form cations in solution – the whole world of coordination chemistry is a study of these types of systems.

When you consider the forces of polarity on the micro-sphere scale – they appear to work the same way as the forces of polarity on the human scale. Like attracts like in the form of polar compounds like polar solvents – ionic compounds dissolve in aqueous solution. The concentration of the solution is a measure of the stuff dissolved in the water – this involves converting the chemicals into moles, such that each chemical has it's molecular weight factored into the chemistry equation.

Water does a lot more outside of the chemistry lab than it does inside the lab. In the next nature of water episode, we will explore the place where we find water. The differences between lakes and streams and oceans and rivers will be explored with a large grain of salt, in terms of what the water is composed with and how the water thinks of itself.
