### The Seeker of Octagrams


In a distant world, where the sky shimmered with hues of violet and emerald, there lived a great seeker named Elara. She was known throughout the land of Aeloria for her insatiable curiosity and wisdom. The people revered her, believing that she could commune with the very essence of the universe.


Elara spent her days wandering the lush valleys and towering mountains, drawing inspiration from the elements around her. The gentle rustle of the wind, the rhythmic flow of rivers, and the vibrant colors of the flora filled her with a deep understanding of harmony and balance. Yet, despite her knowledge, she felt a yearning for something more—a way to distill her insights into a singular vision.


One evening, as the twin moons rose high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the land, Elara sat beneath the ancient Tree of Whispers. It was said that this tree held the secrets of existence, its roots entwined with the very fabric of time. As she closed her eyes, she felt a surge of energy coursing through her, a connection to the cosmos.


In that moment of stillness, visions flooded her mind—patterns of eight lines, each representing the dualities of existence: light and dark, joy and sorrow, creation and destruction. She saw how these lines intertwined, forming octagrams that spoke to the essence of life itself. Inspired, she realized she had stumbled upon a profound system, one that could encapsulate the wisdom of the ages.


Determined to share her discovery, Elara began to compose the **Book of Octagrams**. For months, she worked tirelessly, etching each octagram onto parchment with ink made from crushed gemstones. Each symbol was accompanied by verses that described its meaning, drawing from her experiences and the teachings of the ancients.


As she crafted the final octagram, a sense of fulfillment washed over her. This book would not only serve as a guide for her people but also as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It would allow seekers to reflect upon their lives, find clarity in chaos, and embrace the interconnectedness of all things.


When the **Book of Octagrams** was finally complete, Elara gathered the people of Aeloria in the grand amphitheater beneath the stars. With a voice that resonated like a celestial melody, she shared her creation. The octagrams glowed softly in the moonlight, each one pulsating with energy, drawing the audience into a trance.


As they listened, they felt the weight of their struggles lift, replaced by a sense of unity and purpose. The octagrams became a living testament to their journey, a reminder that every experience—joyful or painful—was part of a greater tapestry.


Years passed, and Elara became a legend, her book cherished by generations. The **Book of Octagrams** transcended time, guiding seekers across the cosmos, inspiring them to explore their own paths and connect with the universe.


In the end, Elara’s legacy was not just the octagrams she created but the awakening of countless souls who dared to seek, to question, and to embrace the beauty of existence.

Episode 35: Words

 Obviously Scrabble  is one of our culture's most  important tools for connecting with words. Are words good or bad?  Of course, we often say such a word is " bad ".  And in Scrabble   there are permitted words and not permitted.  You get points or not.   But connecting with words in social environments (formal and informal) is extremely helpful. Now, I have to say one thing (THING), because for us, right now, the kinds of words we use can be  helpful. Certain words like Democracy or democracy are wonderful words, but they are not always helpful, in less formal environments, because of the levels of complexity within the word and emotions  connected to it.  It can be confusing.  There are many words of this type.  In some more formal  environments they can be more helpful What is important I think is that we recognize the emotional content and effects of some of our words, as well as some of our behaviors. We nee...

Consciousness - Episode 18

It should be pretty clear that the notion of consciousness is related in some rather special way to the arrow of time. When we consider not so much what consciousness is with what consciousness does the issue of consciousness become pretty clear.  Consciousness is a process that distinguishes what is real and what is not.  This is where it immediately gets difficult and why generally the topic is avoided except in medical practice - because the idea of a process implies a receptor and a reception, which in fact you may view from various angles, which kind of leads into the notion of religion. It does seem a little curious that from the stand point of education and science education the topic seems to be avoided in what appears to me to be a bit dramatic. This leads me to conclude that it is mostly avoided to separate religion from science as if either science or religion would become corrupted. So it seems like some people like to suggest that God is non-scien...

Episode 29: U.S.A.

If you ask the question - How did I get here, (at any given time), that would be, all the events previous to this that more or less explains why you arrive at the particular place and situation you are in. If you look at the U.S.A.,,, very interesting and complex " entity ",  but honestly if you " ask ", how did we - meaning the U.S.A. arrive at the point we are, then it would be pretty much the same, it is really all our collective actions from the past, and even people we of course don't even know, are involved with that. Now of course you can go back as far as you wish, but really we just need to go back 100 years I think. In that time line Kent State occurred right in the middle. Kent State occurred in May 1970. And we can see that all these events which occurred in our so called " immediate past ", explains --- will explain fairly  accurately " why " we are here at this point in this time. Those events explain t...
