Frank, Laura, Alice

Q: Hello.

A: Hello.

Q: And who do we have with us this evening?

A: Feorrallah.

Q: And where do you transmit through?

A: Cassiopaea.

Q: As you know, there is a flood in Poland, and Ark has to go back, there is so much that must be done, but the government offices may be closed, the court session may be delayed indefinitely, God knows what is going to happen. What is the source of this dreadful disaster in Poland?

A: Sopophoric screen alterations of the magnetic belt overlay.

Q: And what is causing these screen alterations of the magnetic belt overlay?

A: Influences of Acquiim.

Q: What is Acquiim?

A: 4th density overseer.

Q: Does that mean soporific screen alteration?

A: Soporific/phosphorous.

Q: What is the purpose of this screen alteration?

A: Deterrence of colinear wave reading consciousness units.

Q: What is a 'colinear wave reading consciousness unit?'

A: Suggest you "look in the mirror."

Q: Well! I don't know if I like being a colinear wave reading consciousness unit!

A: Why not?

Q: Because I don't like feeling responsible for all these people who are suffering in this disaster!

A: Responsible? Are you altering the weather?

Q: Well, no. But, if they will go to that extent to thwart us, is it safe for him to go back?

A: If he takes precautions.

Q: Can you suggest some of these precautions?

A: Drive not. Travel by rail only if such travel does not include the possibility of having to evacuate the train and walk on or near live electrical current conduits.

Q: Anything else?

A: Guns do exist in Poland, unlike some other European countries.

Q: What more?

A: Total awareness at all moments is hypercritical.

Q: Are the members of his family alright?

A: So far.

Q: How long will it take before this flood business has come to a halt?

A: Open.

Q: Are all the government offices going to be closed?

A: No.

Q: Will the divorce hearing proceed?

A: Eventually.

Q: How many days will we be out of communication?

A: Not point. Just remember that anticipation is the "mother of preparation," and defense.

Q: So, anticipate or expect to be out of communication for some time...

A: No, it is for Arkady to be prepared!

Q: Are there any good guys who can come in and help? I mean, good grief! A flood no less! How come we haven't been afflicted with that sort of thing here?

A: No need as we have told you, it is Ark who is the vulnerable link, therefore, the attack goeth there.

Q: Is there anything WE can do to help?

A: Get the message through to expect the unexpected; feel vulnerable, and do not ever assume invincibility. Knowledge protects, and ignorance endangers... does it ever!!!

Q: Well, anything else?

A: Must beware of agents near.

Q: Can you give any clues about these agents near?

A: Have "look," if one is looking.

Q: What kind of look?

A: Consult fiction for the truth.

Q: You mean like spy stories? If they look like a spy, they are one?

A: Close.

Q: Anything else? This is going to be a rough period!

A: Not if aware and prepared, and not caught up in fantasies.

Q: What kind of fantasies?

A: Energy wasted upon unnecessary communiques.

Q: So, he should not exert himself to be in contact with me if it might put him in danger? Is that it?

A: No, for the time being, suggest you cancel the "mushiness."

Q: Alright. Anything further?

A: No.

Q: I will be in a bad way through this ordeal until he gets here, so...

A: Better to be in "a bad way," than a pedestrian on the widow’s walk.

Q: Is there anything that we can do for protection?

A: We have told you! Be forearmed by being forewarned! Be careful that he does not believe the message.

Q: In other words, he needs to really believe what you are saying?

A: More important: what is a false sense of security?

Q: So, if he receives a message that he is secure and that all is okay, then is when he must be most aware?

A: One must not ever feel "secure," but think of it. When is one ever secure?

Q: Alright, Ark did have a question about the S waves. He discovered that there were a number of earthquakes, in Italy and other places, off the coast of Africa, in Japan, all around the time that he was, as you designated, under the influence of those S waves. What he wanted to know, in a general way, is there a way to identify... is there a time parameter, do these waves begin affecting a person days before...

A: Yes, but remember: they can, like all else, be initiates.

Q: Be initiates? What do you mean?

A: Define "to initiate."

Q: They can be starters, or beginnings... in that particular case, how long had he been influenced by these S waves in advance of the event?

A: 5 days.

Q: So, it is something that happened 5 days prior, or had been going on for 5 days prior to that event that we are to look for?

A: Not unless you understand electromagnetism within the framework of quantum parallel reality matrix.

Q: Well, that is out of my depth tonight! In a previous session I asked a question about the 'sons of Belial' and the 'sons of the law of One,' as explicated by Edgar Cayce, and whether these were philosophical or racial divisions. You said that they were initially racial, and then philosophical and religious. Now, from putting the information about religions together throughout the centuries, I am coming to a rather difficult realization that the whole monotheistic idea, which is obviously the basic concept of the 'sons of the law of One,' is the most clever and devious and cunning means of control I have ever encountered in my life. No matter where it comes from, the religionists say "we have the ONE god, WE are his agents, you pay us your money, and we'll tell him to be nice to you in the next world!"

A: Clever if one is deceived. Silly truffle if one is not.

Q: Well, I know! But, uncovering this deception, this lie that the 'power' is 'out there' is unbelievable. So, the Kantekkians were the 'Sons of Belial,' which is not the negative thing that I interpreted it as at the time. So, the 'Sons of the Law of One,' was perverted to the monotheistic Judaism, which then was then transformed into the Christian religious mythos, and has been an ongoing theme since Atlantean times.

A: Woven of those who portray the lights.

Q: And that is always the way it has been. They appear as 'angels of light.' And, essentially, everything in history has been rewritten by this group.

A: Under the influence of others. And whom do you suppose?

Q: Well, the Orion STS.

A: Sending pillars of light and chariots of fire to deliver the message.

Q: Well, I found some connections between some tombs in Rome, Nicolas Poussin, and some tombs in England, the processions of 'angels' on the Canary Islands. The connection seems to be these funny lights, or Candles, with 'peculiar wicks,' as they are described, which are 'eternal flames.' I am wondering if this is what you meant by connecting them by the frequency of light?

A: "Eternal flame" adorns the tomb of JFK. Connection?

Q: Yes. I also found the Solloi priesthood and the priestesses called Peleiades. They seem to be involved with urns, birds, tinkling bells, urns that can be struck and which then set up a particular resonance in other urns, oak trees, and some other peculiar references that relate to laurel trees...

A: Siren song.

Q: What about the siren song?

A: Greek mythology.

Q: I know that. What about it? What do the sirens represent?

A: Laura, my dear, if you really want to reveal "many beautiful and amazing things," all you need to do is remember the triad, the trilogy, the trinity, and look always for the triplicative connecting clue profile. Connect the threes... do not rest until you have found three beautifully balancing meanings!!

Q: So, in everything there are three aspects?

A: And why? Because it is the realm of the three that you occupy. In order to possess the keys to the next level, just master the Third Man Theme, then move on with grace and anticipation.

Q: In a previous session you also said that the Guanches were confused by a trauma, which was why they did not have a clear story about their origins. So, I was thinking about it and wondering if they were actual Atlanteans, and that the Canary Islands were an intact part of Atlantis, and that the Guanches did not actually travel from anywhere... they were there all along. That the Canaries is an actual area of Atlantis that survived and that the Guanches survived with it.

A: Close.

Q: Is there some mystery or secret about how they got there?

A: In what context?

Q: I asked before, and you said 'guess,' and I guessed the flood of Noah, and you said 'close.' You said they were traumatized. I just wanted to know where they came from. They have a tradition that 60 of them arrived...

A: You are close enough to lay the foundations of your castle.

Q: Okay. Change gears: Why is the rooster, or the crowing of the rooster, associated with the idea of underground cities, civilizations, or bases?

A: What causes the rooster to crow?

Q: Light. But, how is light related to an underground city?

A: Tis not just light, but the emergence of light from the depths of the darkness.

Q: Are there such things as 'DEROS,' as described in this underground bases book?

A: Detrimental Robots.

Q: Are DEROS part of the underground city/bases scenario?

A: Yup.

Q: Something you said about the dietary restrictions... about tracking bloodlines. Do dietary restrictions make it easier to track the Jews because of this? Can 4th density track their genetics because of their dietary restrictions?

A: Foolishness!! 4th density beings have no difficulty identifying anyone on 3rd density. Dietary restrictions you speak of are relating to making the body chemistry less attractive for consumption.

Q: You mean consumption as in being eaten?

A: Yes.

Q: So, maybe we should all eat like Jews?

A: Maybe.

Q: Do you mean that 4h density STS likes particularly to eat Aryans?

A: Only the reptilian types.

Q: But, they don't like to eat Jews, is that it?

A: They most prefer children with high body fat content.

Q: What do the Orions eat?

A: Crystalline tablets, which are aspirated through oral demolecuarization.

Q: Are these crystalline tablets like rocks, like our idea of crystals?

A: Picture a sparkling polished oval bead.

Q: What is the chemical composition?

A: Quartz at the 3rd power compared to Terran samples.

Q: Well, we notice that things are really heating up. Weather, government exposure and confessions of this and that...

A: Massive alien/UFO coverage, some fictionalized, some not.

Q: Okay, I just thought of this: getting back to our earlier questions, would you suggest that Ark avoid going back to Poland altogether?

A: Avoidance may avoid objective also.

Q: Okay. That is understood. I want to ask about what, precisely, this soporific/phosphorous screen of the magnetic belt overlay is.

A: And have you communicate it thus? No.

Q: When you said 'colinear wave reading consciousness units,' and 'look in the mirror,' was that a clue that Ark and I are mirror image consciousness units?

A: Not exactly.

Q: Well, in a previous session, you said something about being a 'half soul,' and my assumption was that he was a half-soul and I was a half-soul, and together we made a whole soul. But, since that time, I have wondered about this...

A: No one is unto themselves a half soul.

Q: Okay, what would give me a more clear understanding about 'half soul balancing?'

A: The soul as read as a unit of completion. It is the communication which completes the whole in each.

Q: What are the potentials of colinear wave reading consciousness units?

A: Specifics.

Q: Well, if an overseer in 4th density wishes to prevent unification of same, there must be some reason; that there is something that the 4th density STS would not like to see happen. What is it?

A: Is that not self-evident?

Q: So, does that mean that it is important for us to be physically together to do whatever this is?

A: Tis preferable.

Q: I had a dream the other night. As Ark and I were leaving the park in my dream, I looked up and saw a mosaic on the side of the mountain. It had seven sharks, one above the other, the lowest being pale almost to the point of transparency, and the highest being very dark and intense in color. There was a HUGE sperm whale to the upper left, he was in the posture of whipping around, his eye had caught the sharks, and his mouth was open and he was going to swallow them all in a single gulp. What was the meaning of the whale and the sharks?

A: Logic.

Q: Are you telling me to use logic, or that the meaning IS logic?

A: Logic says to you: examine!

Q: The other part of the dream was that I disappeared and reemerged from a cleft in a rock. I was cleaning... he went to investigate... and he returned and was crying and all this water was flowing out of there like a spring... What was the significance of this?

A: Trace minerals interact with deeply held secrets.

Q: The other night you said something about what I had found as being one leg of the table. How many legs does the table have?

A: Search for answer. When found in literature, profound meanings enclose compartment.

Q: Well, what about my 'Araignee at Icod?' I liked it, even if it is wrong!

A: Keep effort aligned.

Q: Ark has a question. He wants to know if you can give us one other location of a TDARM from which we can derive a relationship?

A: TDARMs do not have fixed locators, Oak Island is a buried relic; therefore the exception that verifies the rule.

Q: Okay, now what about this diagram that Tony Smith has made from the Pyramid and the phi ratio, that he has interpreted as a map...

A: Must use a spherical relief, with formula applied, to discover.

Q: You said something about 'undreamed of treasures in Rhineland,' and then something about 'Rhinelander.' Did you mean this William Mann being the Rhinelander? Or, was that a reference to the TV show Frank watched the other night about the buried treasure that seems to be missing?

A: Learning energizes you, Laura. Can you ever remember being so energized?

Q: Well, no. Well, is this reference to Alton Towers that Ark found on the internet, about psychic projectors. That was the only unusual thing we have found about this. Are we talking about some sort of place where they have rotating shifts of psychic projectors?

A: As you know... fiction is often the guise for the deliverance of the deepest of truths. And, on that note, good night.

End of Session
 
Laura said:
Q: Anything else?

A: Guns do exist in Poland, unlike some other European countries.

Q: What more?

A: Total awareness at all moments is hypercritical.

Thank you Laura for the session, a lot to ponder about. :lkj:

Perhaps I have totally wrong impression about the upper quote, but is it possible that notion about "lot of guns in the Poland, unlike other countries in the Europe," could be connected to the possible future games, not only guns in a hands of people, and not only connected for that specific point of time, but more because Poland was and is, so to say, in special geopolitical surrounding, actually between Russia and EU.

The US is also building a missile defence base at Redzikowo in Poland, part of a shield aimed at protecting NATO countries from any long-range missile threat from a "rogue" government (or simply Russia), Poland is also a storage location for US military hardware, and than there is general Philip Breedlove’s idea about "pre-positioned supplies, pre-positioned capabilities and a basing area ready to rapidly accept follow-on forces (of multinational Corps) from army base in Szczecin” with 24/7 fully functioning headquarters that forces could quickly fall in on to respond rapidly when needed.

RT explained that:
"The stockpiling of supplies is just a step short of a permanent massive deployment of foreign NATO troops in Poland. The alliance says it is needed for a rapid response to a Russian incursion, although Russian generals would probably view this as a possible preparation for a blitzkrieg attack on Russia."

Although this is a relatively old news form 2014., until now all these things are probably done and "ready to go if needed."

My take on the comment was the possibility of violence coming from Ark's ex who was/is a violent BPD lunatic. I'll be getting into fuller explanations when I do the annotations for the book version. Right now, I've been tasked with just getting all the sessions up and available with needed corrections. I'll be trying to do a few every day.

I am actually going through The Wave 5&6 where you go in great length to describe the whole situation with Ark and her ex. I have to admit that she was definitely quite a character! Glad to read that he was able to get out of that situation, must have been extremely stressful for both of you.

(edit: spelling)

Oh god, so basically it was much much worst than we could imagine via session transcripts, I'm so happy you guys found a way trough perilous situations safe and sound. :hug2:

A: Search for answer. When found in literature, profound meanings enclose compartment.

I have to ask, are you "finding" or creating a "round table", Laura? The reference to literature, and the references to Arthur in your own literature..I am curious if this has been discussed and what your conclusions were, if any. I had never read this entire transcript before so this is the first time I saw this odd remark. Also thank you for posting all of these transcripts for us!
 
I suppose that making a slight commentary here, in regards to something specific in this session, would be a nice break from the work being put into my lengthier articles, so here goes nothing! (However this slight commentary will just expand disproportionately in ways and directions that I have never expected when I was drafting up just even a brief note of sorts. This is just a little "spoiler" for my next article : D.)

Part I

An Introduction


Ordinarily, I would have been thoroughly pleased to simply post a philosophical segment on the allusion involving a "third man" idea, however I took the extra length to seek out what others thought of this term, not being and of itself immediately applicable to the conversations on this forum, but in general: anything that humanity would have published, referenced, or created, at least in the English language, and somewhat accessible on the internets. The result of that was something that you can call to be humorous? I have looked around, and well some posts might be related, however I have not seen anything of what I have found. So lets just see/hear for ourselves. The Third Man Theme can be a name of some human creation. There is one song that beholds such a specific title. However that song cannot simply exist without context, for it was composed specifically for a film, of a similar name, being The Third Man (1949).

Here are some embeds of the full song itself, and a short trailer of how the film would appear to you, should you seek it out and view it.



The Third Man Theme: A Segway Into Paradigms

Since this content is from a generation, a world-view, a paradigm, even a "total" experience which we in the 21st Century can not possibly remember, we will need some additional context, at least to the song itself. Here is a snippet what Anton Karas allegedly said of the song itself, from the Wikipedia page listing its noted things. Here is a recording of the song being played in person -- I now know laughingly know what a zither is.
"The composition that became famous as "The Third Man Theme" had long been in Karas's repertoire, but he had not played it in 15 years. "When you play in a café, nobody stops to listen," Karas said. "This tune takes a lot out of your fingers."

Hmm. Now for a moment, consider yourself as the musician, playing that profound song on an instrument, in some setting where other people are moving around, interacting, and generally doing what they're wanting to do. Since we are all STS, or selfish beings, we all want to be recognized, regarding whatever we do, no matter the result of our activity. How would you feel about yourself, if everyone else really just did not pay attention to your musical skills, since they were more interested in what they themselves were doing? Perhaps you would be terribly annoyed, and perhaps you would not be much wealthier after that gig itself, or any iteration of them. (Careers in performative musical arts are not known to be lucrative to the point as being an established way of gaining wealth for yourself -- rather they're contrary to that, unless you manage to successfully establish a band, hold a popular following, and perform concerts all over the world, ad infinitum.)

It is simply an inescapable tenet of our situation. Even if we were not wanting to be selfish anymore, we would still be stuck in a grand architecture of society which is simply contrarian to that notion, for we do not know anything else, or on the matter itself, better. From the moment we are born, we are taught by our biology to pay attention to our needs alone. If we do not, then we suffer through malnutrition, disease, physical pain, and so on. We are then socialized by our parents and peers, to be selfish, as we grow up. If we do not, then we lose the creature comforts of a family and a set of friends -- a sense of belonging or worth, even if they might not be objectively all that great, and in many cases they're outright terrible. All throughout that process, we are usually "educated" to one degree or another, befitting a particular use of ourselves to some pursuit in industry or commerce. What all of that education usually amounts to, is just a set of basic knowledge and behavioral patterns, along with social expectations befitting a hierarchical system -- that system being the world we all live in. If we then do not obey the status quo, if we do not do as we are told, if we try to do something else, we are then usually coerced by that hierarchical system itself, to reconsider our actions and to get back into the fold that is our proverbial place in the system. If we are somewhat cogent with the system, well then we might be able to start a family, only to bring the next generation of humans right into the hierarchical system, to undergo the same sets of experiences that we did (if not worse), and to keep the cycle going for the next few decades or so.

I could continue with this little digression into various areas of human interaction, pointing out how the aforementioned apparatus functions, and how someone is affected in say a workplace relationship (... Like if you point out to your boss regarding what's being done wrong, or what could be done better, you might not have much tenure in that workplace for very long). However you guys are doing great work on those things, so lets get back to The Third Man movie.


The Third Man Feature

The Third Man movie itself is a creature of its time, with its background being set in a devastated post-WWII Europe, with looming notions of a Cold War being set into its audience's minds, and with the tropes of film noir being firmly depicted, not only being in vogue during that era, but being a particular outlet for creative minds (and perhaps influence from Thor's Pantheon). The plot itself is seemingly straightforward in relation to its genre, however there's enough hints towards future topics in subsequent sessions, particularly involving the trope of troublemakers causing trouble within human society, as based in their troublesome inclination towards more malevolent forms of selfishness, to then only flee "underground" when other humans are in hot pursuit of them.

Selected Notes of the Plot:


"As Martins and Anna query Lime's death, they realise that accounts differ as to whether Lime was able to speak before his death, and how many men carried away the body. The porter at Lime's apartment tells them that he saw a third man helping. He offers to give Martins more information but is murdered before they can speak again; Martins and Anna flee the scene after a mob begins to suspect him of the murder. When Martins confronts Major Calloway and demands that Lime's death be investigated, Calloway reveals that Lime was stealing penicillin from military hospitals, diluting it, and then selling it on the black market, injuring or killing countless people. Martins agrees to drop his investigation and leave.

...

Martins goes to Kurtz and asks to see Lime. Lime and Martins meet and talk as they ride the Wiener Riesenrad. Lime speaks cynically of the insignificance of his victims' lives and the personal gains to be earned from the city's chaos and deprivation, Martins realises that Lime sold Anna out to the Soviet authorities for his own benefit. Lime obliquely threatens Martins as now the only 'proof' that Lime is alive. Lime then offers Martins a chance to join in on his scheme before leaving quickly.

...

Lime arrives at a café in the international zone to meet Martins, but Anna is able to warn him that the police are closing in. He flees into the sewer, with the police following him underground. Lime shoots and kills Sgt Paine, but Calloway shoots and badly wounds Lime. Lime drags himself up a cast-iron stairway to a street grating but cannot lift it. Martins, armed with Paine's gun, runs after Lime finding him beneath the grating where they stare at each other. Calloway realising Martins has chased Lime shouts that Martins must take no chances and shoot on sight. Lime nods his head slightly at Martins. Calloway follows down the tunnel as a single shot is heard.

Martins attends Lime's second funeral at the risk of missing his flight out of Vienna. He waits on the road to the cemetery to speak with Anna, but she walks past without glancing in his direction."

Now to comprehensively comment upon a movie, one would probably have to watch it. That is probably going not to happen with me, but at least on Wikipedia's summary of the movie, there is particular note to a famous scene within the feature. That scene unravels a scenario, wherein the antagonist "troublemaker" in the film feature, subtly threatens another, whilst suggesting a potential conspiratorial arrangement for the other party to selfishly gain in wealth, at the expense of everyone else, all presented from a "higher" vantage point, or perspective. Was this scene alluding to one modus operandi, as to how third density humans are manipulated? Perhaps. Yet the content of the speech within the scene alludes to two particular things in my mind. The cuckoo, being in potential reference to another movie of a later time: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) -- which I will not be commenting upon in this, yet I may bring it into a later article. The other potential reference is that of the Italian Renaissance -- this will be commented upon, albeit in a Part II, since it is very, very interlocked and pertinent in regards to the Third Man Theme, at least it is in my perception and memory, since one of my books, to be commented upon, involves this very thing.

Selected Notes on the Cuckoo Clock Speech:


"In a famous scene, Lime meets Martins on the Wiener Riesenrad in the Prater amusement park. Looking down on the people below from his vantage point, Lime compares them to dots, and says that it would be insignificant if one of them or a few of them "stopped moving, forever". Back on the ground, he notes:

You know what the fellow said—in Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed; but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had 500 years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!

...

This Is Orson Welles (1993) quotes Welles: "When the picture came out, the Swiss very nicely pointed out to me that they've never made any cuckoo clocks,"[30] as cuckoo clocks were actually invented in the German Black Forest. Writer John McPhee pointed out that when the Borgias flourished in Italy, Switzerland had "the most powerful and feared military force in Europe" and was not the neutral country it later became.[31]"

So then what would be the use of watching a movie? We obviously sit and enjoy a particular narrative, and we are usually moved by the depicted scenes and action, in one way or another, for many of us do enjoy them. However is there some potential truth as to the whole experience of watching movies? Some may reveal dirty little secrets to us, by means of innuendos; some may allow us to experience a given event without us having to physically endure the same thing; some may allow us to reflect on on an idea, while not being invested in that said idea. Is there some method to this madness? Does it lay in the fact that we experience movies in a "third person perspective"? What does that even mean? Lets lay out some groundwork, however I suppose that we may have a nasty run-in with things that some of us may have experienced before: Ancient Greek Philosophy.


Playful Words: The Third Person Perspective


To be able to talk about third person perspectives, in relation to third density, it is appropriate to look back on the nature of third density: what does it exactly involve that is, and also is not, in common with our plant and animal friends. With that, we might actually be able to elucidate those irascible intangibles, such as abstract forms. On that, we might be able to elucidate what a third density soul is, in relation to what we are capable of doing, or not.

We may be capable of serious thought, deep introspection, to remove ourselves from our immediate concerns in order to abstract what is actually going on in our lives, to only then contemplate what courses of action are available to us, which are the most feasible, and which one of those we actually want and will do. By fixating (an older term denoting direct observation -- to bring into conscious view) any of those experiences and understandings, we might even be able to learn the final lessons that this third density experience is all about, and if we find ourselves lacking in them, then we might even seek them out directly, if not they're not immediately afforded to us.

To extemporaneously talk of this will only result in a fleeting experience, so lets attach some annals to it. There has been much discussion on the nature and classification of souls, or of their parts, however selecting Aristotle's descriptions from "his" Περὶ Ψυχῆς (On The Soul) work seems to be the most concise, and the summary on Wikipedia of it seems to be just good enough for presentation:

"Book I contains a summary of Aristotle's method of investigation and a dialectical determination of the nature of the soul. He begins by conceding that attempting to define the soul is one of the most difficult questions in the world. But he proposes an ingenious method to tackle the question:

Just as we can come to know the properties and operations of something through scientific demonstration, i.e. a geometrical proof that a triangle has its interior angles equal to two right angles, since the principle of all scientific demonstration is the essence of the object, so too we can come to know the nature of a thing if we already know its properties and operations. It is like finding the middle term to a syllogism with a known conclusion.

Therefore, we must seek out such operations of the soul to determine what kind of nature it has. From a consideration of the opinions of his predecessors, a soul, he concludes, will be that in virtue of which living things have life.

Book II contains his scientific determination of the nature of the soul, an element of his biology. By dividing substance into its three meanings (matter, form, and what is composed of both), he shows that the soul must be the first actuality of a natural, organized body. This is its form or essence. It cannot be matter because the soul is that in virtue of which things have life, and matter is only being in potency. The rest of the book is divided into a determination of the nature of the nutritive and sensitive souls.

(1) All species of living things, plant or animal, must be able to nourish themselves, and reproduce others of the same kind.
(2) All animals have, in addition to the nutritive power, sense-perception, and thus they all have at least the sense of touch, which he argues is presupposed by all other senses, and the ability to feel pleasure and pain, which is the simplest kind of perception. If they can feel pleasure and pain they also have desire.
Some animals in addition have other senses (sight, hearing, taste), and some have more subtle versions of each (the ability to distinguish objects in a complex way, beyond mere pleasure and pain.) He discusses how these function. Some animals have in addition the powers of memory, imagination, and self-motion.

Book III discusses the mind or rational soul, which belongs to humans alone. He argues that thinking is different from both sense-perception and imagination because the senses can never lie and imagination is a power to make something sensed appear again, while thinking can sometimes be false. And since the mind is able to think when it wishes, it must be divided into two faculties: One which contains all the mind's ideas which are able to be considered, and another which brings them into action, i.e. to be actually thinking about them.

These are called the possible and agent intellect. The possible intellect is an "unscribed tablet" and the store-house of all concepts, i.e. universal ideas like "triangle", "tree", "man", "red", etc. When the mind wishes to think, the agent intellect recalls these ideas from the possible intellect and combines them to form thoughts. The agent intellect is also the faculty which abstracts the "whatness" or intelligibility of all sensed objects and stores them in the possible intellect."

I will admit that even the summary of the English translation(s) is quite superfluous, to the point of losing meaning in the long span of many words. I do think that a graphical representation of what is talked about would nevertheless be helpful in understanding.

In that graphical representation, you have an envelopment of soul faculties, or developments. The vegetative soul, or lower second density soul, has the innate ability for organic growth. The sensitive soul, or higher second density soul, has additional abilities to sense the world around it, to be affected by those sensations via emotions and desires, and to act upon those emotions/desires. The rational soul, or general third density soul, has even more abilities that make it capable of structured thought, and to reflect upon itself, its actions, its circumstance, and its experiences in a logical way, along with the possibilities to be creative or clever. Of course, I'm pretty sure that we have realized the fact that not all humans have rational souls, corresponding to those maintaining such are of course at a previous level of development. That of course, is just another learned quip. I believe that some label of "organic portals" was manufactured to label such people -- that of course is just a reference to Aristotle again, who used that same terminology when describing the nature of the soul. Of course, since we are not living in that era anymore, nor are we using those languages to think about life, we have basically lost the meanings of those terms, and transliterations into English tend to be rather not provoking and otherwise bland, since they're usually based on the background and imagination of the translator, however Encyclopedia Britannica does retain some of those meanings, in a nice flowing style of modern English.

"A soul, Aristotle says, is “the actuality of a body that has life,” where life means the capacity for self-sustenance, growth, and reproduction. If one regards a living substance as a composite of matter and form, then the soul is the form of a natural—or, as Aristotle sometimes says, organic—body."

So where does a third person perspective fit into ancient notions of the divisions of the soul? A tricky question indeed, however it is not unapproachable. If you would note in the aforementioned, that Aristotle describes the soul as being the form, or essence, of what indelibly we essentially are, then you might rummage around the internets or your books, to eventually find reference to "Plato's" Theory of Forms.

"The Forms are expounded upon in Plato's dialogues and general speech, in that every object or quality in reality—dogs, human beings, mountains, colors, courage, love, and goodness—has a form. Form answers the question, "What is that?" Plato was going a step further and asking what Form itself is. He supposed that the object was essentially or "really" the Form and that the phenomena were mere shadows mimicking the Form; that is, momentary portrayals of the Form under different circumstances. The problem of universals – how can one thing in general be many things in particular – was solved by presuming that Form was a distinct singular thing but caused plural representations of itself in particular objects."

So to indelibly span from a third density soul/being/existence, to the proverbial finish line, you'd need to perfect the nature, or essence, of your rational soul per Aristotle's definition, in order to qualify to the next level of experience or learning. Instead of emanating as a shadow of a form/soul, you instead embrace the true totality of that form/soul itself, or in other words, you become, or realize, the form itself, as yourself -- or in even more words, you become yourself. The perfected qualities of the form/soul, in physical manifestation are no different from the same, in non-manifestation, or in other words simply an idea, in a non-incarnated reality. It becomes a philosophical, and mathematical identity -- interchangeable, exact, a known quality, and in other words, an axiom and a truth. These things are, of course, different from the inherited notions within our lives, or in other words, everything we have been granted from our births -- our worldviews, our cultures, our socialization, our behavioral programming, and even our particular life narratives.

These things are of course, not alien to older traditions. All who would have sought out, or read in the annals, of the Oracle at Delphi, known as the Pythia, might have seen that maxim inscribed in the stone-work of the place, lest they not be a rumor or suggestion, that was inscribed in subsequent retelling.

""Know thyself" (Greek: Γνῶθι σεαυτόν, gnōthi seauton)[a] is a philosophical maxim which was inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo in the ancient Greek precinct of Delphi. The best-known of the Delphic maxims, it has been quoted and analyzed by numerous authors throughout history, and has been applied in many ways. Although traditionally attributed to the Seven Sages of Greece, or to the god Apollo himself, the inscription likely had its origin in a popular proverb.

Ion of Chios makes the earliest explicit allusion to the maxim in a fragment dating to the 5th century BC, though the philosopher Heraclitus, active towards the end of the previous century, may also have made reference to the maxim in his works. The principal meaning of the phrase in its original application was "know your limits" – either in the sense of knowing the extent of one's abilities, knowing one's place in the world, or knowing oneself to be mortal. In the 4th century BC, however, the maxim was drastically re-interpreted by Plato, who understood it to mean, broadly speaking, "know your soul".

In later writings on the subject, one common theme was that one could acquire knowledge of the self by studying the universe, or knowledge of the universe by studying the self. This was often explained in terms of the microcosm–macrocosm analogy, the idea that a human being is structurally similar to the cosmos. Another theme, which can be traced back to the Platonic Alcibiades I, is that one can only know oneself by observing other people.


Christian, Jewish and Islamic authors found various scriptural equivalents for the maxim, allowing them to discuss the topic of self-knowledge without reference to the pagan inscription. By the time of the Protestant Reformation, Christian theologians generally understood the maxim to enjoin, firstly, knowledge of the soul's origin in God, and secondly, knowledge of the sinfulness of human nature. In secular writings of the period, several new meanings emerged; among them, that "know thyself" was a command to study the physical properties of the human body.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, the maxim acquired several new associations. It was frequently quoted in German philosophy and literature, by authors such as Kant, Hegel and Goethe; it was cited as an analogue of "tat tvam asi" ("that thou art"), one of the "Great Sayings" of Hinduism; and it took on an important role in the developing discipline of psychoanalysis, where it was interpreted as an injunction to understand the unconscious mind.

Earliest references

Certain sayings of the philosopher Heraclitus (fl. 500 BC), whose work survives only in fragments, may have been inspired by the Delphic maxims; if so, they represent the earliest known literary references.[11][12] One of these fragments reads: "It belongs to all men to know themselves and think well [sōphronein]" (DK B116).[13][c] According to classicist Charles H. Kahn, this fragment echoes a traditional belief that "know thyself" had an essentially similar meaning to the second Delphic maxim, "nothing too much"; both sayings might be considered alternative ways of describing the virtue of sophrosyne (lit. "soundness of mind").[13] In another fragment (B112), Heraclitus defines sophrosyne as the art of "perceiving things according to their nature",[14] apparently referring to the perception of objective, material facts. If so, and if self-knowledge is the same as sophrosyne, then, as Kahn writes, "the deepest structure of the self will be recognized as co-extensive with the universe in general … so true self-knowledge will coincide with knowledge of the cosmic order".[15][16]"

Well so what? We all can think about things right? Well, not really. Since time is the illusion of our density, to transcend it we must transcend the notion of temporal existence. In the terms of Aristotle, to be a rational soul means that you must have fully incorporated the faculty of thought and reflection within your being, or in other words, to always think and reflect at all times, while also being fully aware and engaged with your lower aspects. To not be a perfect emanation of the form, per "Plato's" words, you are then simply emulating shadows. Beyond it, we are simply adhering to the tenets of a sensitive soul, and thus reacting to our emotions and environment without thought, or at worst, simply vegetating within our environment. It is not by any means an easy task. To actively recognize and reflect upon, to understand and to discern, in order to become an active participant in the process. Rather then just being an unwieldy bystander beholding a some product, you're now able to actually become that beautiful process, beyond simply being its byproduct.

To close out this train of thought, I will need to include more references and topics for discussion. The rabbit hole literally does not end. In Part II of this, 1 Corinthians 13 will be re-investigated, and not re-interpreted; links from the Italian Renaissance along with coincidences from the annals of ancient philosophy will be included. The rabbit hole will not end there either. 1st Corinthians leads to other literature, directly via "forms", which I have not seen on the forum, however that will be in a separate article/posting, as it connects other interesting areas that some may be interested in. But for now, I am simply tired.

Anyways, Thanks for Reading.
