Sprout TV’s “Stella And Sam” episode 9 has Felix dressed up as a “dragon” … Gia Ba?o’s “con ro^`ng” … before dahlia’s birth … the homunculus is a “dragon” of sort …

Stella, Sam, and Felix pretend that Sam’s backyard is China.

dahlia expressed “brain freeze” after tasted ice cream sandwich as with chi. audrey thie^n hu+o+ng with ba’c be.p at japan town in san francisco a while ago in the summer … viewing dahlia’s ear and re-wondering with other people since time immemorial about God’s infinite “specialization” = implementation of “uniquenesses” … it’s hard to imagine using darwinian evolution arguments but rather easy to imagine when it is realized how the “original sin”   of making love out of nothing at all created the world  …: the universe decides to have size and volume instead of a point singularity …

…  don’t know how/when/why/who/what is involved in this original decision but … once this decision has been made … 11/19/2014 pbs rick steves in palestine and israel the “kippah” or “yarmulke” “it means we are under God … God is above all of us” it means “we are humble for stability” …

Why Do Jews Wear Kippot?

Wearing a kippah is not a religious commandment. Rather it is a Jewish custom that over time has come to be associated with Jewish identity and showing respect for God. In Orthodox and Conservative circles covering one’s head is seen as a sign of yirat Shamayim, which means “reverence for God” in Hebrew. This concept comes from the Talmud, where wearing a head covering is associated with showing respect for God and for men of higher social status. Some scholars also cite the Middle Age custom of covering one’s head in the presence of royalty. Since God is the “King of Kings” it made sense to also cover one’s head during prayer or religious services, when one hopes to approach the Divine through worship.

According to author Alfred Koltach, the earliest reference to a Jewish head covering comes from Exodus 28:4, where it is called mitzneft and refers to a part of the High Priest’s wardrobe. Another biblical reference is II Samuel 15:30, where covering the head and face is a sign of mourning.

Rick Steves Special [#103(]The Holy Land, Israelis and Palestinians TodayThis program weaves together both the Israeli and the Palestinian narratives to better understand a place that is, for a third of humanity, literally holy land. The crossroads for 3 great religions, the Holy Land has been coveted and fought over for centuries.
Host Rick Steves visits the major sights, but delves deeper to better understand and empathize with both peoples. In Israel, he goes from the venerable ramparts of Jerusalem to the vibrant modern skyline of Tel Aviv. In Palestine, by harvesting olives near Hebron, visiting a home in Bethlehem, and popping into a university in Ramallah, he comes to know a land few tourists visit. And all along the way, he learns about security walls, disputed settlements, and the persistent challenges facing the region as Israelis and Palestinians learn to coexist peacefully.

 

… it  means that uniquenesses [“kho^ng ddo^.i tro+`i chung” even though it is tacitly implied that “tro+`i chung” exists] must exist [tv show about adaptations of japanese snow macaques monkey hot thermal spring bath and iriomote cat fishing and other animals that were left stranded on the island of japan as the island was separated from mainland china millions of years ago due to tectonic activities] to stake out and name and label and specify and define and puff up the size and volume and furthermore Perpetual Motion must come into being to maintain these uniquenesses … Godel’s Theorem … since otherwise the stationarity/stagnancy would create a sense of surplus non-uniqueness since every moment of stationarity would be the same and therefore non-unique … : in the same way with the leaf’s dissipation/aggregation portfolio/profile/function/”form” [the “green function”:  everything has a dissipation/aggregation “form” … the Original Sin … ] or the leaning tower of pisa “form” in previous note, the “form” of the universe–namely a “form” with size/volume instead of the point singularity “form”–determines that the fate/destiny of the universe which fate/destiny of the universe for example might be Perpetual Motion so that being “stardust”, “in the image” of the universe, the ‘way of all flesh” is also Perpetual Motion … “… and in my heart you will always stay forever/perpetually young …. may you stay forever/perpetually young …” …

 

… this means for example in the illustration below of waves on a circle the waves would all have different unique amplitude frequency etc. to define unique points on the circle and the same with the digits of pi on a circle … this means for example, that if the brain is a metaphor for the circle then the homunculus defining the sensory organs would also have to have unique organs/parts … uniquely “differentiated” organs/parts .. “automatically” … :  11/20/2014 server at dimsum place in pleasanton said “… how about egg …” which egg is a perfect example of …RoadTrip Nation yesterday has black dude says “now that’s what i’m talking about:  it makes me feel small/insignificant/humble …” refering the the desert night sky fill with the void and innumerable stars …. in the same way the minutia differentiations tinh vi cu?a of an egg developing into a baby organism seemingly without any umbilical cord “no strings attached’ might make us all feel small/insignificant/humble and yet it is within the confine of an egg of our hand’s grasp … holographic connection … author haiwang yuan seems to have a thread about holographic cell running through his work the magic lotus lantern and other tales from the han chinese has the story “e^’ch ngo^`i dda’y gie^’ng coi tro+`i ba`ng vung” and

 monkey king and buddha’s holographic cell:  Buddha scolded,”You little stinker.You haven’t jumped out of my palm.Look down.”When Wu-k’ung lowered his head,he found that on the middle finger of Buddha … note his ears … was the line of words which he had just written.And from the fingers came the powerful smell of monkey urine.

… don’t know  how/when/why/who/what is involved in biblical genesis “original genesis” …. but one can try to imagine it:  when one closes one’s eyes while moving from point A to point B opening one’s eyes at A and B then what happens or what’s in between A and B  when one’s eyes are closed would “simulate”/”illustrate” practically the nature of “nothing”, “nothingness” , … and the “opening of one’s eyes up” at A and B would “simulate”/”illustrate” practically the nature of “something”, …

Genesis 1 New International Version (NIV)

The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Bồ Tát Quán Tự Tại
Khi quán chiếu thâm sâu
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
(tức Diệu Pháp Trí Ðộ)
Bổng soi thấy năm uẩn
Ðều không có tự tánh
Thực chứng điều ấy xong
Ngài vượt thoát tất cả
Mọi khổ đau ách nạn.

OUT OF NOTHING COMES NOTHING

Millndapanha 53-54.

Said King Milinda to the sage Nagasena: “Reverend Nagasena, are
there any things that exist which come out of things that did not exist?”

“There are not, great king, any things that exist which come out of
things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed, great king,
come things that exist.” “Give me an illustration.”

TIMBERS AND HOUSE

Well, what do you think, great king.” Did this house where
you are now sitting come out of things that did not exist .”

There is not a single thing here, Reverend Sir, which came out
of things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed did it
come. For example, Reverend Sir, these timbers existed in the
forest, and this clay existed in the earth. Thus, through the effort,
through the exertion, of women and men, did this house come
to exist.

“Precisely so, great king, there are not any things that exist which
come out of things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed,
great king, come things that exist.” “Illustrate the point further.”

SEEDS AND PLANTS

For example, great king, when the different varieties of seed-life
and plant-life are placed in the earth, in due course they will attain
increase, growth, development, and will yield flowers and fruits.
But these plants do not come out of things that did not exist.
Only out of things that existed do they come.

“Precisely so, great king, there are not any things that exist which
come out of things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed,
great king, come things that exist.”

“You are a clever man, Reverend Nagasena !”

Nghe đây Xá Lợi Tử:
Sắc chẳng khác gì không
Không chẳng khác gì sắc
Sắc chính thực là không
Không chính thực là sắc
Còn lại bốn uẩn kia
Cũng đều như vậy cả.

Xá Lợi Tử nghe đây:
Thể mọi pháp đều không
Không sanh cũng không diệt
Không nhơ cũng không sạch
Không thêm cũng không bớt
Cho nên trong tánh không
Không có sắc, thọ, tưởng
Cũng không có hành thức
Không có nhãn, nhĩ, tỷ
Thiệt, thân, ý (sáu căn)
Không có sắc, thanh, hương
Vị, xúc, pháp (sáu trần)
Không có mười tám giới
Từ nhãn đến ý thức
Không hề có vô minh
Không có hết vô minh
Cho đến không lão tử
Cũng không hết lão tử
Không khổ, tập, diệt, đạo
Không trí cũng không đắc

Vì không có sở đắc
Khi một vị Bồ Tát
Nương Diệu Pháp Trí Ðộ
(Bát Nhã Ba La Mật)
Thì tâm không chướng ngại
Vì tâm không chướng ngại
Nên không có sợ hãi
Xa lià mọi vọng tưởng
Xa lìa mọi điên đảo
Ðạt Niết Bàn tuyệt đối

Chư Bụt trong ba đời
Y Diệu Pháp Trí Ðộ
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
Nên đắc vô thượng giác
Vậy nên phải biết rằng
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
Là linh chú đại thần
Là linh chú đại minh
Là linh chú vô thượng
Là linh chú tuyệt đỉnh
Là chân lý bất vọng
Có năng lực tiêu trừ
Tất cả mọi khổ nạn

Cho nên tôi muốn thuyết
Câu thần chú Trí Ðộ
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
Nói xong đức Bồ Tát
Liền đọc thần chú rằng:

Yết đế, Yết đế
Ba la Yết đế
Ba la Tăng yết đế
Bồ đề tát bà ha
