I've been having very vivid dreams in the past while, even though I don't always recall much. I'm sure if I recalled more, and pondered what they meant, I'd get lots of useful material. Anyway, I just thought I'd share something from a dream I had last night. It was dark, as is usual in winter here, and I was outside. With my eyes closed, I could "see" a diffuse white glow in the vicinity of my hands. If I kept my hands balled up into fists, the light would still peek out a little, and when I opened them up, they would emit bright light all along the palm side. I opened my eyes and saw that this energy discharge, whatever it was, was visible to my natural sight as well, in a kind of ghostly way. I thought this had to do with my eyes being adjusted somehow in a way they hadn't been before. I asked the person next to me if they saw it, too. They did. Then I noticed that this strange "light" was beaming out of my hands like a flashlight. I could see patterns of light on a building some distance away when I shone my hands in that direction. Putting it into writing like this takes the power out of it somehow. But as I was dreaming this, it really felt kind of exciting, like proof of an ability that I'd only half-believed in before. ^^ And yes, there's probably (definitely) a connection to the blog art.

. . . if some of the people we label as being insane are actually just tuned into a different reality that exists simultaneously to the accepted consensus reality? If that's the case, then our condemnation of these people says more about us than it does about them. It is a symptom of our fear of the unknown. Actually, I'm starting to be convinced on a deeper and deeper level that we really do create our own reality through our beliefs about what is real. Our perceptions aren't really a one-to-one representation of what's "out there," because they are merely a virtual reality created in our minds based on electrical frequency signals transmitted from the body to the brain to the mind, and edited by over 50% along the way according to our expectations of reality. So it really is all in your head, so to speak. Modern science knows beyond doubt that solid matter is an illusion. Magnify matter enough and you find it is made up of multidimensional, probabilistic waveforms that collapse into apparently solid, definite particles only when observed. Also, the properties of those particles are influenced by the expectations of the observer. This is proven science. What we seem to have a problem with is the logical, natural implication of this knowledge. It's too far beyond the ken of what we've been conditioned all our lives to believe about the world and our place in it. I just thought I'd put that out there. Because I think this is something we're all going to have to come to terms with eventually. Picture may or may not be related.

I finally finished my rune set. They ain't pretty, but they'll do the job. The Elder Futhark, in three aettir (groups of eight). Credit to my wonderful grandma for putting together this handy drawstring bag. I consecrated them last night (a half moon, as it happens) and polished them with a finish made of premium olive oil and beeswax. I have requested only one thing from these runes: "Teach me wisdom." It'll be interesting to see what they have to say when I start doing readings. Haven't tried casting them yet, but I did use the runic alphabet to decode some amazingly relevant things from my BZPower username.

I'm making a set of runes, for rune casting. (I'll post pics when they're done.) I haven't converted to Ásatrú, though. It's a pretty demanding religion. And to the Internet know-it-all who said you gotta be a serious, practicing Asatruist to cast runes, I say bollocks!

Equinox, yada yada, White House garden, etc etc -- No. March 20th was a Bifurcation Point (BP) on the Auric Time Scale developed by Jan Wicherink and Sergey Smelyakov. What does that mean? Well, the Auric Time Scale is a model based on the Mayan Calendar that divides time into increasingly shorter chunks as we go to the year 2012. A BP is the dividing point between sections, and it's been shown that major changing events like natural disasters, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the birth of new scientific, religious, and philosophical paradigms cluster around bifurcation points. The last BP was on November 22, 2006. Actually, the equinox is significant. The day also coincides with a resonance of comet Hale-Bopp and a resonance of the passing of comet Lulin. I dunno exactly what it all means besides Big Change, but it's kind of exciting. Oh yes. By the way, we are currently in the Sixth Day of the so-called Galactic Underworld. It started on November 13th, 2008 and lasts 360 days. The Sixth Night begins on November 8th of this year. This is all Mayan Calendar stuff. I've gotta get this blog up to speed on that one of these days. It's really interesting -- at least, I think so.

Discussion of the MOC itself should be directed to the BBC topic. -------------------- This MOC was started a long time ago in response to a building challenge on another site, to make a creation based on a work of art. I found my inspiration in an image by a prolific artist who goes by the alias "soundlessdawn": I'd been itching to use Nuju's Hordika weapons as wing sections, and this struck me as the perfect application. The glow-in-the-dark exoskeleton design came later, after several unfruitful, less elegant attempts. Further browsing for reference material revealed a significantly older iteration: And more. . . So this is just to put my creation into perspective as one in a long line of variations on an old Egyptian theme that, after all these millennia, still finds resonance in the human heart. At least, it does in mine.

Curiosity, they say, killed the cat. I'm a curious guy -- incurably curious. So when some dude (or chick, just as likely) posts a topic asking, "What is a tone 3 jaguar," I bite. Turns out the subject is the Tzolk'in ("day count") calendar of the ancient Mayans, and "tone 3 Jaguar" is the "vibe" of the person's birthdate. The Tzolk'in calendar has 20 different glyphs and 13 tones for a possible 260 combinations. A few clicks later, with the help of a nifty online portal, I've computed my own personal Tzolk'in vibe. You got it: Death, with a tone of 13. Ouch. But it turns out Death is not so bad. In fact, the Mayans considered it one of the lucky glyphs, the "World-Bringer." Go figure. And the meaning of 13 is "ascension, the completion of all things." Very cool, not sinister at all. Yes, curiosity may have killed the cat, but I say satisfaction definitely brought it back. -BC P.S. Ooh, entry #111! Only 1000 more until #1111!

Ever wonder about UFOs? You don't hear as much about them these days, but back in the 1950s, sightings were commonplace and widely reported in the mainstream media. All kinds of rational explanations have been given for the observed phenomena, but those who've witnessed a UFO maintain that what they saw was not a weather balloon, a meteor, or anything else of this mundane world. I don't care if you're a believer, cautious believer, skeptic, or non-believer. Just check out this story. If the idea of flying saucers strikes you as silly and far-fetched, just read it as a good yarn spun by a master storyteller. Whether you believe it or not, the story of Orfeo Angelucci will blow your mind. I promise. B) -BC
