At first sight it is a spiral, but if you look closely you will some faces up and down the L edge of the frame, These are drawn in the steam with no colour. The curved main arc of the white 'spiral' looks suspiciously like a right arm and hand extending out and downwards towards Isadora's face. I suspect that the 'spiral' effect is purely coincidental here. I will add another image of past personage. This one we think is the late Eva Peron of Argentina fame.
I have added a single image, which is one of over 9,000 similar ones. We are uncertain who this lady is/was but we think it is Isadora Dunacan. All these images are taken in simple steam water vapour which is in itself in dire need of some explanation (we do have some suggestions). However we do find patterns, which show evidence for non-locality, survival of past information (the soul ), and mind<>mind telepathic interaction processes. These all support Sir Roger Penrose's thesis of quantum processes being deeply involved in the workings of the brain/mind. They also support the concept of a universal information 'FIELD' (aka Akashic records) where all patterns/individual information is kept/stored. We suspect that water is crucial to the understanding of all of this, and that all life is in effect 'quantum computation' with water possessing the physico-chemical properties to provide the necessary states of 'superposition. Yes there is a 'God' goes this argument, but it is a 'thing' like the sea, it is not a 'Neptune/Poseidon' kind of idea to paraphrase the ancients. However as the sea form drops of rain so do 'packets of information' exist in all living things that endlessly re-cycle so in a sense God does have a name - Roman Kozlowski - along with countless trillions of others in the uni-(multi?)verse. The point of these images is that they actually capture this process of 'recording texts in the Cloud' in action. We find that they very much provide a great deal of food for thought, and they are explicable by reference to these kinds of ideas.
An "approach" is more than just a way of thinking about something, an approach necessarily entails a pragmatic method. Open-Source is an approach to collaborative design (usually systems design) that's necessarily based on transparency. Understanding religions as systems, how would you say an Open Source religion is developed differently than one that's not Open Source? I have already shared my ideas about this, share yours if you please.
The world is full of many wonders; incredible works of art and architecture, of science and invention, but the greatest of them all by far is the human mind. It is the mind’s play that brings about all activity in the human world. The outline of everything people construct is first formed in the mind and then filled in with matter to assume a concrete shape. History, science, culture, trade and commerce, in fact all knowledge and systems of our day-to-day world, are but the projection and fulfillment of thoughts born in the mind. If the mind, by concentrating itself on matter, can work such wonders and attain such miraculous physical powers as we have, what can it not attain if it concentrates on itself!
Thanks Roman. Despite that I do receive compliments on my focus, I can tell you from experience, I can do much better. It's just that life keeps building me up to knock me back down every couple years and I never get the chance to make my full on effort. Lack of stability, and lack of resources has squandered my efforts. But I appreciate that someone appreciates my work. I'll be back.
Japanese-cubist-escher? Love it...lol
My favorite comment of late on that art piece is that it is erotically mathematical...
Because the work rotates and connects and can be tiled to create landscapes I thought it would be amazing if I could find someone to 'score' it as it's mathematical textures have music in them. I'm wondering if that could be translated literally into a collaborative work involving projection and animation...
I know the feeling. I think it can also be referred to as 'herding cats'. :)
Well Roman...new things are in the works. It's very slow moving though because, as you know, it's just me working on it all.
Anyway, it's worth it. I say this not because Open Source Religion has not even seen the tip of its potential here; it hasn't, but it will. I'm working every day to get that ball rolling and when it does we're going to have something blooming that no one in the world has seen before: a self governing, living religion.
I've explained my role in ED, but got to thinking - my eldest daughter, an RN, has decided to go on the med school. She will be mature that's for sure! I applaud her courage and know if she puts mind to doing this she will achieve it, I have sent out an email inviting her to join this site, hopefully she will - if so who knows, maybe you can help her.
thanks for your consideration
Enjoying you consciousness/matter postulations. I'm dense when it comes to reading through this kind of stuff. It is the source of considerable churning. For a second I was seeing a relationship between:
1. Space
2. Movement through Space (Time)
3. Consciousness (awareness of movement through space)
Your comments provide much to think about. Can't wait to read about how Self or Soul fits in to the emerging view. Cheers

Your comments on illusion are spot on. Contextualizing seems to be our collective struggle at this time for everyone. If we allow for reality in and of itself simply to be what it is holistically, then we can contextualize To that. If you think about it Greeks did not contextualize their thoughts they simply stated we can perceive and moved towards a structured understanding. I might add I think Plotinus was about as clear about how you can have a structured view and what it is based on for his day. His philosophy of course speaks from his experiences as well. very Zen actually, although i've read little, i have read his overview perspective.
Today we are just now starting to see that there is a contextual structure as well as simply a structure to everything. So if we always start with an over arching of singularity then we can contextualize to that rather than trying to wrap our brains around that and capture it so to speak is really the same path that has been described in so many ways by many many people in the past. What is old is new as always...Far from being nutty I'm going to have to agree with you, so maybe we are both nutty but what the hell.....LOL. I think not!!
My friend, haven't forgotten your request to dive into the male-god discussion. My son, now w/o any prescription drugs whatsoever, is doing quite well. He is in 1/2 general ed classes and 1/2 special ed classes. There is a high population of aspies in the NW USA (what w/ Boeing engineers, Microsoft, etc.) as well as somehow linked to places that have less sunlight annually. I rented a one room apartment in a wealthy community w/ the best school system in the state so my son could participate in their special education programs. His main teacher has a PhD. Although H is in middle school, the elementary school here has an entire program for aspies due to the number of students diagnosed w/ that. H has made several good friends that he sees in several classes ea day. I convinced the school to let him into a daily art class otherwise reserved for older students. It is his favorite class and a reason he will attend school. There were other adjustments as well - dealing w/ a problematic paraprofessional (my son has fulltime paraprofessional help), additional changes I won't go into but involving a lot of time and perseverance - which, as you know, I am blessed with. Mostly, I think he was overwhelmed and took school awhile to make courses challenging enough but not too challenging. H also attends a yu gi oh game club and chess club, both weekly. Working w/ school counselor to help H learn to address problems w/ school at school instead of coming home and decompensating w/ mom. At one point, I basically let him know that it was too stressful for me and asked him to try and contain the upsets more. More than anything, being off gluten has made the most difference. Anyway, wanted to check in. Say thanks for support and succinct and right on thoughts (as always). Best wishes to you in your work and life.

Hi Roman - thanks - I will see what I can do, as long as I don't have to think too hard!

Just one of the many cheeky references I've made regarding our little community here in the past. Perhaps it's time to remove it. :)
Thanks for sharing - Sir Roger Penrose Evidence of the Soul.
Appreciated as always.
