Dread and change

 You can start with either one, because , at least from my point of view, seem to be closely connected.  But I think there is always the element of fear connected with change.  Certainly, an approaching storm will often create a sense of fear, which of course brings us to Stephen King, who does seem to have developed a keen sense of how to describe it, and my memory of watching the Shining, on T.V. , which makes me wonder how that was possible, in sort of " blizzard " conditions.  Made a lot of those scenes much more realistic.

But to me, dread is something a bit different than fear, because, in fearful conditions you tend to respond in a more immediate way.    In many ways there is a sense of dread as the seasons change, which I believe they must.  When this sense of dread approaches, we often follow this with preparations, that are sometimes naturally ceremonial , and sometimes perhaps more instinctual ?  For example , our often quite instinctual behavior with dogs, which goes back to Ma'iingan tradition of Anishinaabe or Ojibwe. 

So, what does that mean.  I think it gives us the opportunity to prepare for events that may come, which may require more immediate and significant action. So a lot of that is about anticipation of approaching events.

Synchronicity

 So, this strange, word, which suggests something like, two things happening at the same time, which are seemingly disconnected.  So, that may appear first mostly in the works of Carl Jung, and the formulations of many of his concepts related to applications of phycology.   Now, to the best of my understanding, Irwin Schrodinger, in the late 40's and early 50's kind of latched onto this " concept ", in relation to describing the " kind of " physics, connected to biologicals processes.  So maybe this is funny or not, but during this same time Schrodinger was supposed to be working with Einstein on the >>> Unified Field Theorem <<< , I guess, the " Theorem " gives it all away.  At some point , Schrodinger may have given a >>> press conference <<<  in which he announced that " they ", had been successful.  Well, he had not previously consulted Einstein, and apparently Einstein response was, okay we are don...

Perplexity, absurdity, and power

 So, when you consider or imagine " absolute " power, you must also consider the issue of " infinite " work.  In other words, without the results or effects of power, you really don't know anything about it. Nevertheless, throughout most of human history, we have labored under this concept of " absolute " power, which in and of itself produces very difficult logical or mental conundrums.  Of course, Dr. Einstein was fairly successful in dispelling some of these odd conundrums in particularly as regards some of our notions related to the physical world and our " environment " so to speak, however, that required a life time of work, and the help of many colleagues over the years. But simply, even if you do consider the >>>> universe <<<<< to be an infinite amount of work and therefore requiring an infinite/absolute amount of power, well, if you're going to try and rustle up numbers that actually make sense, you ar...

Something, something, reality

 Now, when we reflect back on " reality ", most people will agree, >>> it's hard to do without it <<< Now, we might be able to figure out how Godel's Proof , ties back to all this stuff, but it seems to me that if you want to describe some kind of reality, then you pretty much have to talk about diversity, and so probably, possibly what you are really talking about is the " ability " to sort out, elements of diversity as being a substantive process which it kind of seems like is persistently .occurring.   This might occur through action like --->  back actions <--- of some different processes or  even ---> front action <----, which might be easier to comprehend. So , if you are an automobile, and you can travel to pretty much anyplace in the world within 1 hour, then, things might look a bit different, particularly if you are into variation and transformation.  So, for example, Ralphy will rarely go to Africa, unless, it's l...
