the original Bait and Switch Exposed - the Liar of the Lyre and irrational magnitude as the Greek Miracle

So this von Fritz article pdf link is one I am returning to.

What I call the "bait and switch" as the "rotten root" of the Greek Miracle is exposed in the above paragraph. Notice how in the first definition the concept of ratio as rational depends on Number as arithmetic - "two sets of integers" and then the second NEW definition of ratio then removes the number so that what is left is pure geometry. But the geometry must be proved to "always ...go in the same direction."





So here von Fritz is making the same connection that Professor Luigi Borzacchini calls the "negative judgement paradox" that both state origins from music theory and then was applied to geometry.

But what gets left out of this "transfer" from music into geometry is that in music the direction can be changed since the Perfect Fifth is both 2/3 and 3/2 as a noncommutative phase - with 3/2 as C to G (geometry) and 2/3 as C to F (geometry). So that F=3=G at the same time! This originated from Philolaus as the Liar of the Lyre - as PRofessor Richard McKirahan has detailed - Philolaus literally "flipped" his lyre around to justify transforming musical ratios into geometric irrational magnitude. By flipping the lyre around then the "root tonic" or the "one" value could be changed in geometry but still retain the arithmetic value of the same "one." Yet in music theory - we can hear when the "one" changes.

So von Fritz makes the fascinating case that Hippasus who was a Pythagorean of a generation before Archtyas, was experimenting with sound from discs, as ratios, and since the ratios were still just number despite difference in diameter or thickness, therefore this could also be applied to geometry as the logos of irrational numbers (alogon). And then Archytas further developed this from Philolaus. And then Eudoxus solidified it into the Greek Miracle, as von Fritz details.

The ultimate source of the story seems to be John Burnet's 1892 book Early Greek Philosophy (London, 1892), p. 117:

For the present, the incommensurability of the diagonal and the square remained, as has been said, a "scandalous exception." Our tradition says that Hippasos of Metapontion was drowned at sea for revealing this skeleton in the cupboard.

In a footnote Burnet attributes this story to Iamblichos, Life of Pythagoras 247 (§34).

Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly, this is absolutely not what the text of Iamblichos says. That is to say: the story is a complete fabrication.

Iamblichos does record a legend that Hippasos (known from other sources to be an important Pythagorean in the 5th century BCE) divulged the secret dodecahedron, the last of the supposedly perfect solids to be discovered, and as a result a "divinity took vengeance upon him...on the grounds of committing an impiety" by ending his life in the sea -- i.e. he drowned in a storm or shipwreck, and some people with vivid imaginations attributed it to divine vengeance.

Here's a translation of Iamblichos -- the relevant bit is at the bottom of p. 47 and top of p. 48 -- but unfortunately the translation's slightly inaccurate, and leaves out the bit about the divinity. For the sake of completeness, here's the Greek text:

οἳ δέ φασι καὶ τὸ δαιμόνιον νεμεσῆσαι τοῖς ἐξώφορα τὰ Πυθαγόρου ποιησαμένοις. φθαρῆναι γὰρ [sc. Hippasos] ὡς ἀσεβήσαντα ἐν θαλάσσῃ τὸν δηλώσαντα τὴν τοῦ εἰκοσαγώνου σύστασιν· τοῦτο δ’ ἦν δωδεκάεδρον, ἓν τῶν πέντε λεγομένων στερεῶν σχημάτων, εἰς σφαῖραν ἐκτείνεσθαι.

A much better account of the discovery of the irrationality of root two is Kurt von Fritz, "The discovery of incommensurability by Hippasus of Metapontum", Annals of Mathematics 46(2) (1945): 242-264. Von Fritz correctly observes that the discovery was one of the greatest achievements of Pythagoreanism, and not a horrid skeleton in the closet as Burnet claims.

So for example the Pythagoreans taught that "one is not a number" and recent scholarship has argued that Parmenides, close to the Pythagoreans, considered the one to be light as consciousness or being. So when we consider the frequency of light based on wavelength, inverse to number, then the value of the "one" changes according to the color (frequency) of the light. So each color is like an octave as the root tonic of the energy - which is literally how Louis de Broglie realized that frequency is momentum - as a "standing wave" as geometry. So the wavelength is inverse to the momentum as a particle but it is moving only in relation to the speed of light that does not change (in a vacuum).

So this is another way of expressing the noncommutative phase source of the "one" of sound as well - that de Broglie had rediscovered with his Law of Phase Harmony - there has to be a SECOND time from the future going in the opposite direction! This is what the Greek Miracle had covered up when it created irrational magnitude as only going in the "same direction." The Orthodox Pythagorean philosophy was based on the secret of time going in both directions as the same time!

So obviously this music role vanished - as Borzacchini emphasizes - and states he is SHOCKED and STUNNED by this vanishing of the music origin. But then Fields Medal math professor Alain Connes has picked up the music again as the basis for noncommutative phase logic to create a new unified field science.

Wattle and Daub - Slop Action on Bronze Age Reconstruction walls

This is not fully done - I did MORE slopping of daub. I found it was easier to throw the Daub as a slop onto the walls - so that it flies behind the wattle and onto the straw. Otherwise it's too difficult to push it far enough back behind the willow branch wattle.

So it got pretty thick - this batch was NOT thrown but instead massaged onto the wattle or straw.

It all depends on the water amount. Sometimes I got bored of adding more clay so I just used the slop. And the slop proved better for the above reasons. But for adding on top of the walls to the wall plate - then you want less slop. So I was reading up on Cob and wattle listserves - turns out there is a straw bale CODE that requires the clay as fire protection on top of the walls. So I just guessed to do that and I predicted the code properly!!

Yeah this is an "earlier" stage - I just kept making more batches of the slop. Each batch was about three to four buckets of horse manure (micro-fibers as a glue adhesive to stop crumbling) and clay. So I did one bucket of dried aged horse manure to three buckets of clay and then less then a full bucket of water. I was using 2 gallon buckets.

Wet clay is very heavy - so I just carried one bucket at a time and I hauled the water as one bucket from my drainage creek. That is what sold me on this land - it had WATER as a "creek" - and also was a mini-forest.

Inside slopping. Again this is not the final version. I stopped taking photos for obvious reasons. You get the idea. But it was FUN to throw the slop against the walls. Only it back-splattered a lot onto my glasses. So then I could not see since I can only clean my new glasses with that fancy super-soft-synthetic cloth or else they will scratch like my last pair of lenses. So I didn't want to deal with cleaning my glasses in the midst of slopping. I just looked out through the slop patches.

So then I got the loppers and trimmed off those end wattle branches - after the daub had dried a bit. It was not quite dry though as the Slop takes a while to dry.

And so I switched to hauling drinking well water for the mushroom tank - and the bucket got jammed in the water hole. Luckily it's the water hole that has the rocks in it - and so it doesn't get much water anyway. At first I thought it was suction from the mud at the bottom - the clay being in water. But then after I pulled it free - it jammed AGAIN. So it must be a rock.

So now I have to get another bucket and make another harness again. But my main water hole still works fine - with no jamming problems. So no rocks - and no noticeable suction. I got 12 gallons my first day but some of that was rain water that was on my mushroom tanks - the covers catches rain water. So then I got about 2 gallons a day otherwise - enough to live off. To get 12 gallons as build up is great to refill the mushroom tanks. Then when the clay in the water settles down - then I can use the Jerry Can to harvest that water for drinking water. The Jerry Can is the "lifesaver" filter. Then I pour that filtered water into the Berkey filter - which is a slow but very amazing purifier. So I end up getting really great tasting water.

So since I was not digging a water well - which is a serious work out - then I just fasted again and I lost 10 pounds in 3 days. So then I also did lots of full lotus meditation - from 2 hours up to 6 hours a day. Since it is getting more into Fall then the Yin energy is stronger and it is full Moon near the equinox. So it is really good meditation energy right now. As the yin energy gets stronger then it's better to meditate more.

I put up  the OSB I got - just on ONE wall and then threw some slop on it. The OSB is not at all "standardized" - as I have used no measurements. I had just hodge-podging the end walls and also still need to figure out the chimney-stove situation. So the hut already gets some sound protection and the insulated walls provide temperature also. But still a long ways to go.

Signs of Continued Shiitake Mycelium Growth! Slop Daub Action!

So at first I wasn't sure if this was Shiitake mycelium growth or maybe an invading fungi?

This - these photos are from the "bottom" of the log that was on the forest floor. So it was still wet from that inch of rain plus the soaking I did last week.

This green is obviously NOT shiitake. So there is some "invasion" going on. But I think the white is definitely new shiitake growth.

This is the first time I've seen the mycelium not on the "ends" of the logs but growing horizontally on the surface. It takes longer for the Shiitake to grow lengthwise along the longs.

So it's not a lot but it's a start. Pretty much ALL the Alder logs have this growth on the "bottom" - and if people remember - I was soaking the Alder logs once a week, instead of the required once every TWO weeks.

So it makes sense they are getting MORE mycelium growth than the Birch (which also has a resin in the bark that probably resists the fungal growth).

So you can see that "green" is just a small part of the larger white. So the green is not the main fungus but some other invader.

This was the clincher for me - I turned over the ASPEN logs - and Aspen is soft so the mycelium grows faster, even though I inoculated these a month after the Alder logs. So you can see the white mycelium is spreading OUT of the spawn drill hole, proving that this is indeed Shiitake. It's the same white as on the ends of the logs.

So there is another Aspen mycelium growth from the Shiitake spawn hole - onto the surface (instead of just on the Ends of the logs as previously posted).

So now having confidence that this is INDEED more Shiitake growth that means two things.

1) the smaller logs that dry out easily and die - indeed are STILL ALIVE with the Shiitake growing!!

2) They are not fruiting yet although it is now ready to get them set up for the possibility of fruiting.

So I soaked those Alder again and then stacked them for fruiting into mushrooms. Then we got some more rain - not much. But more rain is expected for tomorrow. So I figure the logs should not dry out too easily even though they are up in the air now. So normally you would not want to do this.

So I only stacked PART of the Alder logs - and left some on the ground but did not soak those logs. So it's an experiment to see what happens.

I can still try "shocking" the logs into fruiting later in this month - if the mycelium keeps growing. So this is very promising. The ends of the Birch logs are even more "full" with white mycelium from the shiitake - so the ones that are full - I should be able to try "shocking" those also.

Basically you need near freezing water and a long 24 hour soak to mimic winter. Then the logs should start producing mushrooms. I still can not promise anything and six months is the MINIMUM time to get mushrooms. I inoculated this Alder logs in May - I can double check this blog for the precise date. So it's still only 4 months. So the end of September will be pushing it as it will only be five months.

So if I get any mushrooms this fall it will be a miracle. The idea is I think like roots of a plant versus leaves and fruits. So the growth without fruiting means the logs will survive winter better. But if they fruit too early then the logs may not survive winter. I will research this for more details.

So normally you get the first harvest after a YEAR from inoculate - meaning in the following Spring from the first inoculation. So I may just wait to make sure I don't over shock the logs. I don't want to destroy the mycelium. I may look to get "expert" advice - from "Field and Forest" as the owner there helped me out before. But I don't want to be too much of a pest seeking free advice. haha.

So part 2 will be the update on the Hermitage Hut....Daub Slop Action!

Is celibacy necessary for advanced qigong meditation training (neidan alchemy neigong)

If you want to learn the real training then I recommend studying the real traditional books. The biography of Wang Liping is a good one - "Opening the Dragon Gate" is I think the title.
I studied from Chunyi Lin of http://springforestqigong.com and he did the 49 day cave meditation - non-stop full lotus with no sleep - at Mount Qingcheng. Another Daoist master at Mount Qingcheng is http://qigongmaster.com who also does the yearly cave meditation - Master Zhang. Chunyi Lin stated for advanced level of qigong there can be no thoughts about sex. He said that in 2000 or 2001 but now he is more "Americanized" aka Westernized. And obviously that is why the training has to be done in secret since you have to think about sex if you talk about it. haha. So there are certain cultural norms that are expected but not easily found in modern Westernized times.

So my point is that if you study the traditional Daoist training - you'll find that indeed celibacy is required to keep building up the energy and of course this is denied in the WEst who just want a fake "light" style training to meet with their Westernized lifestyle. Even China now is Westernized for the most part.

So it's up to you if you want do to the real training or not - like I said - just study the book "Taoist Yoga: alchemy and immortality" for the details. I also have the links of my own research. Master Nan, Huai-chin is another great traditional source.  Also spelled Master Nan, Huai-jin.

 that 2012 book has 725 scholarly footnotes. haha. But it does not go into the "solution" so much as my more recent research. Essentially Western math is wrong. This became obvious when "time-frequency uncertainty" was discovered in quantum physics - and how it can not be unified with relativity. Scientists of course debate this ad naseum - which is first: math or physics? Actually it's a left-brain (math) and right-hand dominance (physics) dynamic. Life on EArth as ecology is right-brain dominant with left-handed amino acids for life. So we are, as Noam Chomsky stated once, essentially experiencing a cycling of the elements on Earth. So with ecology you have wood and earth and water as dominant. Now it's metal and fire - silica. So actually water is the "pivot point" because water is now proven to be a "macro-quantum" molecule. This is what Dr. Gerald Pollack, when on that global warming panel with Gee McFearSun - Pollack emphasized that we don't even understand cloud formation well enough in science. So a "4th" state of water has been discovered - that Pollack focuses on. It is when water is just out of freezing and is melting. So this can also happen from pressure - as Victor Schauberger also discovered by studing trout in streams. So water ends up creating virtual photon energy as negentropy - from the future. This is done inside our bodies via the collagen, the most common protein, creating a standing resonance with the Schumann field (the Earth's electromagnetic field that goes horizontal as the same as alpha brain waves or theta brain waves).

So the thing about quantum biology is we can document that it is real but we can not "reproduce" it as a technology. that is why it is not better known since most people want "off the shelf" gadgets to prove that science is real - instead of just basic research. But it is now proven that Life depends on the 5th dimension as quantum nonlocality - that means it is superluminal information-energy from the future that is secretly guiding reality. This is how birds navigate - and it is also our original human culture via the deep body, the pineal gland and heart and the small intestines (the 2nd brain). So then all of matter is from light but the energy of light is from the 5th dimension as spacetime or mass. So this is actually also called "noncommutative phase" math as Fields Medal mathematician Alain Connes has discovered. So Connes is trying to completely redo science based on noncommutative phase logic (which originates from music theory). He has a lecture on youtube on music theory and the unified field. But the problem is then science has been wrong up till now, creating the ecological crisis. Of course we can't "go back." Mother Nature is in charge - and just as shrooms and trees communicate via biophotons so too do humans have biophotons shooting out of their eyes - this is now proven by quantum biology.

So we can "turn the light around" when our eyes are closed and we visualize light - and so the frequency of light when turned around is actually superluminal. De Broglie first figured this out as his "Law of Phase Harmony" - which is still being rediscovered by science even though it was the foundation of quantum physics. I have the training research for free as an upload on my channel with the links.

 Did you see the doc, "An Unreasonable Man" about how the corporate-state "good cop" imperialist Democrats "kick the dog" all the time? Sanders=Drumpf. Yes I personally confronted Al gore about his anti-environmental views (despite him authoring his book) - you read my description of that right? I said to him, "Everyone knows the CIA is complicit in the drug trade." Time to get real about the US Empire being the most evil force on the planet. Well it goes back to Plato and Westernization starting around 8,000 BCE with wheat monocultural farming and lime-ash limestone waterproof from deforestation. You know that white skin is from wheat monoculture right? Just as potato eating in the Andes created white skin - from lack of vitamin D in the diet. haha. So the white people were the first ecological refugees that had to FLEE into Europe around 8000 BCE - this is well documented by archaeology. Why? too much deforestation caused drought in WEstern Asia when wheat monculture developed with bull plow farming as raping the land. Did you know that the etymological origin of God means BULL just as Brahman also means Bull? We've all been taken for a big ride and now the end is coming.

 The West is based on math as objective "symmetry." So math professor Ian Stewart wrote a book called "Why Beauty is Truth: A history of symmetry." Problem is that Western math caused the ecological crisis! So Plato argued that symmetry is obvious since we have two sets of eyes, two feet, two hands, etc. But in Nonwestern cultures this is not true. For example in Daoist alchemy the left eye for males is yang shen (spirit) and yin qi and the right eye is yang qi and yin shen. And that goes for all of reality and it is from the original human culture. So the San Bushmen culture everything is based on complementary opposites - so the males sleep on the right hand side of the fire and the females sleep on the left hand side of the fire. Also - this will cause a HUGE scandal - but guess what? In the original human culture they had NO IDEA what homosexuality was nor did the males masturbate. On the contrary the male dancing was to create female N/om as a fire in the belly that rises up the spine and turned into electromagnetic force shot out of the eyes via the pineal gland. So the original human culture does a one month training of JUST males once a year - called Tshoma - and they fast and trance dance the whole time. Then during the full moon the females SING all night - this transmits their female N/om energy (electrochemical) into the males. the males then dancing turn that female energy into electromagnetic energy that is then SHOT back into the females to heal the females of ghost pollution. A male only really becomes a "master" of this healing at around 40 years old but they have to transcend death to do this - meaning their heart stops but the N/om energy keeps powering their bodies. This is due to the right side vagus nerve that connects the reproductive neurohormones then into neurotransmitters on the right side of the heart. Only now are we realizing that coherent biophotons are what power the body but that was the original spirit training. So for example san Bushmen do not eat a bird the day they kill it. Why? Because they know the bird will tell the other birds that humans are eating the birds. So they wait for the spirit of the bird to leave the area - after death. So that is actually way more advanced then we have. YOu can watch Andrew Zimmern's experience with the original human culture - I posted an excerpt from his book. He's the tv cable travel chef. It's on youtube.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBFToDoxYX0 So I posted the quote in the comments of that vid - so a musicologist traced the Eland Bull Dance as being the SAME song - that is the original female spirit training at their first menstruation -so it's the SAME song from before human language split in the first 2 dialects. Meaning this training is from before human language really crystallized. It's called Musilanguage.
