The heart is called Yi [unified power] becuz when intent moves, spirit is agitated; qi is dispersed. Qi is the Mother of spirit; Spirit is the child of qi. The Mother as qi is the horse that guides/conducts the river chariot (yin spirit) in the water (yin jing). Once your mind is away from the lower Elixir Field, your Qi will be led away from it and be consumed. By gathering the Shen into the lower tan tien then the Qi follows it there.

Taoist Yoga: alchemy and immortality ..."For human beings are nothing but the gathering of ch'i: they live whenever the ch'i concentrates, they die when the ch'i disperses. Nothing is more abominable to Chuang-tzu than "governing the world," since Tao in the form of yin-yang unity is the origin of everything and exercises supreme dominion over the human and cosmic worlds....the unity of yin and yang result in harmony, and that through this unity things are produced. A comparable insight is to be found in Heraclitus: "Harmony consists of opposing tension, like that of the bow and lyre." Thaddesu T'ui-chieh Hang, Taipei, "The Unity of Yin and Yang: A Philosophical Assessment" for Anaximander: the heavenly bodies uttered a flute-like whistle and the circles that carry the stars have "flute-like" pipes with breathing holes through which the fire bursts forth when they are not blocked up. It seems certain that the pressurized fiery vapour escaping from these [ancient Greek] must make sounds or notes that reflect the size and diameter of the pipe, rather like the sound of huge pan pipes played across the dark and misty heavens. The Void of Parmenides as Apeiron is the Siren that creates the energy of the Stars as the Hearth or Air that Feeds off the Light of the Universe To become a Pythagorean he studied your gait and emotions and if you passed then he studied you for three years. Only then could you be accepted to train in five years of silence but you still could not actually see Pythagoras yet. After five years then you were allowed to speak to Pythagoras but still only from behind a veil with him hidden. Xenocrates (4th Century BCE) followed Pythagorean tradition in defining the substance of the soul as 'number moving itself',24 and this on its own suggests that the fragment may be authentic to him.

I emailed Carlos Eire -
Carlos Eire is the T. Lawrason Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies at Yale University where he regularly offers courses on Christian mysticism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. He received his Ph.D. in History from Yale University and taught at St. John's University in Minnesota and the University of Virginia. A prolific scholar, Eire specializes in the social, intellectual, religious, and cultural history of late medieval and early modern Europe, with a focus on the Protestant and Catholic Reformations, the history of popular piety, the history of the supernatural, and the history of death. He is the author of The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila: A Biography (2019) and They Flew: A History of the Impossible (2023).

This is similar, though not identical, to the “miraculous catch” story in John 21:4-11. Jesus (after his resurrection) instructs the disciples to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, and they have a huge haul of fish—153 fish, to be exact.
...
The number “153” is not an isolated scrap of information about the influence of Pythagoras on the early Christians. In fact, it is not even the strongest evidence. We can trace a strong connection between the Pythagoreans and the Jewish Christian Ebionites, who of all the early Christian groups seem to understand the teachings of Jesus the best. The Pythagoreans were vegetarian and against animal sacrifice; the Jewish Christian Ebionites were also vegetarian and opposed to animal sacrifice. Indeed, for the Ebionites vegetarianism was part of the gospel message: all Christians should be vegetarian.
Other Pythagorean ideas also found a voice within early Christianity: communalism, voluntary poverty, abstinence from alcohol, and rejection of making oaths, were all found in the Ebionites. (See Charles Vaclavik’s The Vegetarianism of Jesus Christ throughout; The Lost Religion of Jesus, p. 39-40, 166, 214; and Disciples, chapters 6 and 7.)

I'm still working on our HOA 1/2 mile road with 20 driveways and a few parking lots and turn around. People really love the new asphalt smell and it makes me dizzy and lightheaded after an hour or so of pushing the asphalt sealer with the squeegee - the effects last. I'm taking a week break vacation so I will recover! hahaha. Why are people loving the new asphalt so much? AI tells us:

That's only $12 per customer on average of 17.9 million customers but I'm sure some customers get tons of late fees. It's a $30 late fee on your credit card? wow....That's a huge late fee. That's like 2 hours of work for a lot of people - more than two hours.

Sludge is not rendered totally inert by composting. The composting process is
considered complete when the product can be stored without giving
rise to nuisances such as odors, and when pathogenic organisms
have been reduced to a level such that the material can be
handled with minimum risk.
The aerobic reaction
provides heat for warming the windrows. This causes the air
to rise, producing a natural chimney effect. The rate of air
exchange can be regulated by controlling the porosity and
size of the windrow (2). The turning of the windrow also
introduces oxygen to the microorganisms.
BACKHUS self-propelled windrow turners are widely utilized in large-scale biosolids and sewage sludge composting. Florida biosolids composting in windrows
Each
windrow must be turned two or three times a day for the first
five days to mix the material completely, minimize odors, and
ens ure suf f ic ient oxygen trans fer. The sl udge is then turned
once a day for abou t 30 days, depending on weather condi tions.
Figure 12-5 shows a windrow being turned at Los Angeles
The forced air method provides for more flexible operation and
more precise control of oxygen and temperature conditions in
the pile than would be obtained with a windrow system. Since
composting times tend to be slightly shorter and anaerobic
condi tions can be more readily prevented, the risk of odors is
reduced.
Two distinct aerated static pile methods have been developed,
the individual aerated pile and the extended aerated pile.
The composting and
all other outdoor operations will take place on a concrete pad
which is easier to clean than a gravel base, prevents rocks from
mixing with the compost, and is a better year-round working
surface. The pad is sloped to allow runoff collection from the
compost piles. The runoff is recycled to the treatment plant to
provide protection for the surrounding land and streams.
The construction of composting plants has almost ceased in
European countries other than Sweden. Apparently most
operating plants have difficulties in marketing the compost
at a satisfactory price.

“Hauling dewatered biosolids three times a day more than 80 miles was not financially viable, so we explored the possibility of in-vessel composting. Utilizing MSW to supply the carbon side of the composting equation is what led us to start our original plant.” An article in the August 2004 issue of BioCycle (“Expanding The Potential of In-Vessel Composting”) documents the evolution of the Pinetop-Lakeside plant, which started out with a used Eweson digester

As a result, the addition of a biolayer cover was written into the EPA regulations governing the static composting of biosolids, and subsequently adopted into many state composting regulations concerning pathogen control. As biolayer covers became widespread, air quality regulators began to characterize them as pollution control devices; they appear in many air quality permits. During this evolution, equipment manufacturers such as ECS introduced a series of fabric covers to the market with claims of improving both the composting process and thermal and environmental control (especially control of odor and VOC’s).

This acts as an insulation layer for pathogen destruction as well as a modest surface biofilter. Biolayer covers need to be at least 6 inches deep to function but are often required to be 12 inches in very cold climates and by some regulators.
