(Ancient Sites Girl) The Red Pyramid is a prototype of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Northern Africa near "Mars" (aka Cairo)? The "Bat Pyramid" (el-heram el-watwaat), also the North Pyramid, is full of urine-streaked walls but has no bats now. It is called the Red Pyramid instead.
In the beginning, in the dreamtime, it might have been that Brahma (the creator god of the Vedas and Hinduism) uttered a word, a sound, an aspirated aum or OM. Or maybe it made this sentence: Let there be light. And that sound was Brahma, the supreme, the alpha and the OMega, the A and the alph'. That's not what happened in the Agganna Sutta, the Buddhist account of "Genesis," the discourse on beginnings, which begins with light. That's because that sutra only deals with life on the origin of life on Planet Earth, not the universe. Here Gaia.com looks into the sacred sound at the beginning of form or what is now called the study of cymatics:
A machine to 'see' sounds (resonant vibrations)?
What if we could suddenly "see" sounds?
Vibration underpins all matter in the Universe.
The CymaScope is the first scientific instrument that can provide an analog image of sound and vibration. The once invisible world of sound is revealed in a myriad of [sacred] geometric patterns. When the microscope and telescope were invented, they opened vistas into realms that were not even suspected to exist.
Sound has been invisible throughout history, except in graphic depictions of conventional acoustics instrumentation.
Now, with the development of the CymaScope instrument, the omnipresent, unexplored realms of sound and vibration are made visible for scientific study and artistic appreciation. (Source: CymaScope via sunnylanblog.wordpress.com)
Feeling a pull towards deeper understanding and greater connection with the Universe? This could be signs of an impending spiritual awakening, a profound shift that changes our understanding of self and reality.
This post may help in understanding everything we need to know about this transformative experience – from recognizing the early signs to navigating challenges and enjoying its benefits.
Ready for an [Eastern, more Hindu than Buddhist] enlightening journey? Let’s dive in, beginning with this guided meditation.
Key points
A spiritual awakening is a transformative experience where we become aware of our "true selves" and connect to a higher power.
Signs of spiritual awakenings can include feeling disconnected, reevaluating beliefs, having vivid or lucid dreams, experiencing shifting relationships, and increased intuition.
Each person’s spiritual awakening journey is unique and personal, guided by one's own beliefs, experiences, and inner wisdom.
During a spiritual awakening, individuals may also experience a strong connection to nature and have physical symptoms. More
What is pie? Who better to ask than a poetess? She is sure to have a numerological opinion she can beautifully articulate. Some may think it's a pizza, but this is not New York or Vicenza, Veneto, Italy with its famous piazzas. Surely the greatest of pies is the blueberry, healthful and delicious.
But, wordsmith, what would that have to do with today of all days?
Well, it may be arbitrary, like most National Days, although my robotic phone seems to indicate that pie has more to do with Pi (3.14159) or Greek π, than the baked variety. Maybe in 1959, no, that doesn't make sense. Let me ask my egghead friendboy; he knows about stuff like this due to his Star Wars obsession and penchant for boring things.... Ah, pi seems to be a reference to math. How boring! I'd rather snack and sip tea, or even pizza or placing a puff of whipped cream in someone's face would be more fun.
Well, that was a wash. Might you produce a poem in honor of pi/pie?
Ode to the Baked
My friendboy likes his films
My friendboy likes his pi
If only he could see
That it's right between my
Did I mean to say peeps?
Did he hope digits point
at pants -- like he does when
I show him my flower
No, it's not a violet
No, it's not a red rose
But it is quite scarlet
And well known to his nose
COMMENTARY: Eyes, thighs? Rose, nose? You mean this is a sexually tinged iambic tetrameter terse but trite toss off? - No comment. Poetry is poetry, not math.
March 14 is commonly referred to as Pi Day, a day that aims to celebrate the ratio of the circumference of a circle [Eggheadspeak for a way of measuring the space inside a wheel.]. The number is known as 3.14 or π and can actually go on forever [or be stopped if we change to Base 3 or something other than Base 10, but numbers are all Greek, so who knows?]
The most accurate value for Pi, according to Guinness World Records, is more than 62 trillion digits (62,831,853,071,796 to be precise) [because some computer somewhere says so, as if 63 trillion wouldn't be even more precise], calculated in August 2021 by the University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland.
Because it relates to a circle, π is found in many formulae in trigonometry and geometry, especially those concerning circles, ellipses and spheres.
It is also found in formulae from other topics in science, such as cosmology, fractals, thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism. It also appears in areas having little to do with [sacred] geometry, such as number theory and statistics, and in modern mathematical analysis can be defined without any reference to geometry.
The ubiquity of π makes it one of the most widely known mathematical constants inside and outside of science. Several books devoted to π have been published, and record-setting calculations of the digits of π often result in news headlines. What is it?
The circumference (perimeter) of a circle is slightly more than three times as long as its diameter. The exact ratio is called π. This pi (π) is commonly defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference C to its diameter d: π = C/d. The ratio C/d is "constant," regardless of the circle's size.
For example, if a circle has twice the diameter of another circle, it will also have twice the circumference, preserving the ratio C/d.
This definition of π implicitly makes use of flat (Euclidean) geometry; although the notion of a circle can be extended to any curve (non-Euclidean) geometry, these new circles will no longer satisfy the formula π = C/d [10]. We should have paid attention in high school instead of being so worried about makeup and dating. More
(Gaia) Premiered Jan. 31, 2025: Are mathematics and music inherently linked with human consciousness?
Uncovering encoded connections of the universe by examining relationships between mathematical constants like Fibonacci’s Golden Ratio, Pi, and Phi, polymath Robert Edward Grant examines the mysterious missing links of mathematics and music.
From Pythagoras to Leonardo da Vinci and Stephen Hawking, Grant examines what humanity can gain from these legendary thinkers and universal constants.

The most terrifying theory scientists don’t want to talk about
(Fexl) To play the Chaos Game (geogebra.org/m/yr2XXPms),
I set the number of points at 3, clicked start, and set the speed to "fast." The key takeaway of Chaos Theory is this: even when one's equations are perfectly deterministic, one cannot know the initial conditions of arbitrary sensitivities.
What is “chaos”? It is when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.

Shungite stone Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation test
(Shop LC) Watch what happens when we put Shungite crystals in front of a highly radiant object like a cellphone and Wi-Fi transmitter (router). Is it possible that a simple stone with a complex underlying matrix (nanotubes, fullerenes, quasi-spherical carbon atom arrangements, 98% carbon content) has any affect at all as measured by scientific instrumentation? Would a metallic aluminum "tin foil hat" provide more protection? A silver strand (threaded) cloth shield or Faraday cage might be better. Subscribe. Facebook,Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest.
Can shungite protect us from EMFs?
(ScottiesTech.Info) Shungite is a natural stone from Shunga, Russia, composed mainly of carbon that many people use to protect themselves from EMFs such as Wi-Fi, 5G, targeted attacks, microwave radiation, and so on. But does it really work?
Pyramid-shaped chunk of Shungite (Wiki)
It turns out that most of the information available on the internet appears to be dead wrong. First of all, getting "real" Shungite is more difficult than one would imagine. Most people are buying an amalgam with little Shungite mixed in.
Scottie does a few simple tests in this video to show that no, Shungite does not appear to absorb EMFs. However, it does reflect or partially block them -- but only when it's directly between the antenna and an organic body. [It might be good to surround ourselves with living house plants.]
There are still tons of people who swear by it. What's going on here? Should we keep using our Shungite?
How to make the perfect "tin foil hat" (protective shield) using science
(Dr. Michelle Dickinson) I've seen some tin foil hats being made recently, and it struck me that their designs aren't very effective. I thought I'd help by explaining some of the key scientific principles needed to make the perfect shield for [protection of the brain from electromagnetic radiation coming off cellphones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, and screens of all kinds that emit electromagnetic fields].

Buddhist physics: The Sphere of Sensuality, where we live, is material, which is denser than the higher Fine Material Sphere of "shining ones," light beings, akasha devas. What are these kalapas or "particles" of perception? Each is a quality of matter, and each kind of kalapa has features. In that sense, each is LIKE a higher dimension or Platonic solids. What if matter were one substance, like clay, distinguished by geometric shape?
The Awakened One
From the beginning the wandering ascetic Siddhartha Gautama -- who soon became the Buddha, the "Awakened One," the "Scythian Sage" called Shakyamuni -- learned a form of serenity meditation that took him to an exalted formless attainment.
"Formless"? We live on a plane in the Sensual Sphere, above which exists a Fine Material Sphere, and beyond that, unbelievably, the Formless Sphere.
The first four meditative attainments called absorptions (Pali jhanas, Sanskrit dhyanas) correspond to the Form (Fine Material) Sphere. The next four correspond to four higher dimensions, the formless planes of existence. These "spheres" are called:
the Base of Boundless Space
the Base of Boundless Consciousness
the Base of Nothingness
the Base of Neither-Perception-nor-Non-Perception.
Chart of the 31 Planes of Existence
This Buddhist cosmology is explained in terms of a vertical arrangement of planes of existence, of which there are 31 mentioned, containing countless worlds. They are reached through these meditative attainments, which are very weighty good karma (actions). For they are purified states but not enlightened states.
They are "purified" insofar as they have temporarily suppressed the defilements that obscure knowledge and vision without uprooting the defilements. Insight wisdom permanently uproots them. Insight wisdom is an accomplishment worthy of the noble ones, the individuals at any of the four stages of enlightenment.
This discussion is speculative to try to conceive of what can be directly observed and exmined, so it is not merely pondering for pondering's sake. For realizing enlightenment/awakening, the Abhiddharma -- the "Ultimate Teachings" or "Teachings (Dharma) in Ultimate (Abhi) Terms" -- these kalapas must be seen and examined. How would it be possible with a defiled and impure mind?
All of the mind's powers are needed, its psychic abilities and supernormal faculties. Through meditation purified by the absorptions, it is also possible to visit (by remote viewing or a kind of astral travel) the 31 Planes of Existence here and now. So we can personally verify that they are real.

What is the truth about the ancient origins of humankind? How can the technology left by ancient civilizations help explain the true age of humans on earth?
Groundbreaking discoveries about an ancient vanished civilization at the southern tip of Africa using an analytical and scientific approach have produced stunning evidence that will force us to rethink our origins and rewrite our history books.
Giants are real and known to gov'ts.
Ancient discoveries -- including tools, artifacts, and petroglyphs -- indicate that the Egyptians and Sumerians got much of their knowledge and imagery from this older vanished civilization.
This is crowned by a stone timekeeper now called "Adam’s Calendar" that is forcing academics to question our supposed human origins. Scientific evidence shows that the area was associated with a gold mining culture; many prehistoric gold mines are still present throughout the area. More
