So, you thought I was
hallucinating something you could call an illness, eh Doctors? The colour
illustration on the preceding page amounts to a glamourization via some speedy
art of my manufacture, but not of my imagination.
This is the type of thing I
see as clarified and distinct when I am searching underground for lost people.
In this case, the image of dark metal lingam arising from the sea
occurred, and I jokingly thought- "gee, purify the consciousness-"OM MANI PADME
HUM". That's when I was super surprised to see the metal phalliform open up and
make a metal lotus with gems that pushed out of it and into the sea. It also
opened up a cave and let about seventeen people out near an island.
I started
with this image since the phalliform is about the best way to get some of you
male dopes to focus on the ideas like this: womens' intutition is
also a very rapid math!
I have , below, explored some links which offer a
solution to what I could see in my minds' eye. Artists research in very many
areas in order to transcribe what
they wish into co-ordinated image, music, and so on. Since,in this case, I simply suddenly saw
the large metal extrusion, I feel I have seen it with a sonar vibration, since I do see
with my hearing. I was actually looking for Lithium, in the belief that the form
that I was witnessing was connected to Lithium because of its shaping. I
discovered that Lithium is one of the many minerals found in
Pegmatite, below defined.
"Pegmatite is a variety of extremely coarse-grained igneous rock chemically similar to and closely associated with granite. The mineral constituents of pegmatite are largely those typical of acidic intrusive rocks: orthoclase feldspar, quartz, and mica. Individual mineral crystals may be up to several meters in length. The growth of crystals this large indicates that the parent magma, from which the rock solidified, was able to cool very slowly, after injection into fissures extending outward from a central magma chamber. Pegmatite is widely distributed in the crust of the earth but is found especially in older mountain chains, where it is restricted essentially to those surface areas in which igneous and metamorphic rocks are prevalent. Minerals containing the elements boron, beryllium, and lithium are abundant in some pegmatites. Other pegmatites contain commercial quantities of feldspar, mica, and gem-grade tourmaline."
Left, below, an enlarged area from a work of art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art shows a semblance to the action or capability of some of the gems in pegmatite. With reference to the animation on page 1 of this discussion, the metal"petals", when opened, show smaller gems set naturally, in random array, their shaping being closer to the shapes as depicted on the arrangement of images about the angelic construct show in the whole work, to the right.
The work (shown below as a thumbnail from The Metropolitan Museum of Art) seems to reflect the concept that these mineral extrusions could have some natural (and even supernatural )'microwave' connections.
-The Dance of the
Angels-In this image, the constructed choreography of the
spiritual world is another important clue to the essence of the work,

Plutonic rock Plutonic rock refers to a granular igneous rock that has solidified at great depth and shows a distinct grain structure. Ex: granite

"Commercial production from the Harney Peak region has included mica, the lithium minerals spodumene, amblygonite, and lepidolite - beryl, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, galena, gold and silver minerals." note on deposit shaping 1. "The pegmatite is roughly oval in outline with diameters of 200 and 250 feet, 11 and shows a rude zoning with the main body of quartz, spodumene and feldspar surrounded by a finer grained aggregate of muscovite with quartz and feldspar. Normally the spodumene crystals are embedded in masses of milky quartz. Aside from the minerals noted above the following are more or less common: columbite-tantalite, lepidolite, apatite, beryl, lithiophillite, cassiterite, triphylite, and opal."

Pegmatites are very coarse grained igneous rocks that generally occur as tabular, lens-shaped or turnip-shaped bodies in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Pegmatites have been found to occur in gabbros, granites, gneisses, schists, syenites, nepheline-syenites, diorites, and ultramafic rocks. Pegmatites have been the object of study over the past century because of their high concentration of rare-element bearing minerals that are potentially good sources of: lithium, beryllium, tantalum, uranium, cesiurn, and tin. Pegmatites have also been mined for optical quartz, fluorite, ceramic and dental feldspar, mica, and ceramic amblygonite.

The top left image of the rare element- 'Pigmatite', is on Acrobat Reader, available through links in a series of interest links on Pegmatite:
"Among the most important pegmatites, is the Antandrokomby dike, the type locality for Manandonite and londonite. This pegmatite is an example of the Danburite Subtype. Micas are absent, and danburite occurs either in the border zone of the dike, as centimeter size pale yellow crystals hosted in medium grained feldspars, or in the coarse-grained central pocket-zone, in crystals together with polychrome and red tourmaline and pink to green spodumene." Keywords to research: Ambatofinandrahana) Maharitra (is the type locality for bityite (named by A. Lacroix after Mount Bity, the present Ibity massif);) [STOP 2] Mahaiza area The Tsaramanga (“good-blue” in the Malagasy (Madagascar)language, because of the great blue color of gemmy beryl) pegmatite, hosted in coarse grained gabbro stock ("Gabbro de l’Itsindro”, intrusive complex of Ambatofinandrahana), the “Itongafeno” pegmatite, as reported in the old literature, is a primitive pegmatite with large quartz core of good rose color. Deep blue (“santamaria” in gemology), and exceptionally emerald green, large beryl crystals occur together with columbite, euxenite and pyrochlore-group minerals.
Southeast of this pegmatite, extensive outcropping of giant masses of rose quartz and extensive tourmalinization of the hosting quartzites occur. anorthositic and gabbroic plutons on origin of loose sapphires in river gravel + sediments amounting eventual plutonic igneous material, then vice-versa ie sands. 8 The gemstones present in the deposit are numerous, and the most important include: corundum, colorless, sky blue to deep blue, green, purple-violet, vivid yellow, vivid pink and, rarely, red; topaz, 9 colorless to sky-blue; tourmaline of all colors; zircon, mainly red, brown and violet; spinel, pink, violet, green, bluish and red; garnet with a wide range of reddish and purple colors; chrysoberyl, vivid yellowgreen and of the cat-eye variety; chrysoberyl of the alexandrite variety, in some cases with a very good metameric effect; beryl, colorless, pale blue and pale pink; kyanite, pale to deep blue; andalusite, reddish-brownish.
In addition to these minerals, transparent pebbles of colorless, amethyst and rose quartz are abundant. Geological observations indicate that the gemstones of the Ilakaka region, are hosted in coarsegrained lenses of graywacke of the Permian-Mesozoic sedimentary sequence. The sequence ranges from Permian to middle Cretaceous in age, and consists mainly of sediments of continental origin. Sediments of mostly marine origin cap the sequence.
From the Permian to the middle Cretaceous, a time span of over 150 millions year, the crystalline basement of Madagascar underwent deep erosion. The erosional products of this process were transported by the rivers to west where they were deposited in a sedimentary basin formed by the opening of the Mozambique channel. Because of the sub-tropical climate, the weathering was extensive and only the most resistant minerals were preserved. In particular, only quartz, corundum, garnets, and a few other resistant minerals survived the erosion and transportation to accumulate in the river gravels.
This process occurred during the erosion of enormous volumes of rock of the crystalline basement that covered the ones now exposed to the east. The concentration of the more resistant minerals in the beds of the rivers, allowed the mingling of numerous different gemstones derived from deposits of different origin (e.g. pegmatitic, metamorphic, pneumatolytic).
These sands and gravels were eventually lithified into sandstones and graywacke by diagenetic processes. The uplift of these sediments, due to tectonic movements, allowed a new erosive process which re-transformed sandstones and greywackes into sands and gravel, liberating the more resistant precious stones in the process.
The local occurrence of small, unrounded colorless quartz or amethyst crystals is due to the presence of narrow quartz veins of hydrothermal origin, probably related to Cretaceous volcanism. A. Lacroix classified Malagasy pegmatites in two main groups, the Potassic Group and the Sodalithic Group. The Potassic Group is characterized by pegmatites frequently of large size, rich in K-feldspar with blue beryl, black tourmaline, muscovite and many accessories such as U-P-REE-Ta-Nb bearing minerals.
The Sodalithic Group is characterized by pegmatites rich in albite, together with Li-bearing phases, such as Litourmaline, spodumene, amblygonite and lepidolite, and with pink Cs-bearing beryl. This classification was particularly useful in the past to prospect for industrial minerals, and in particular industrial beryl, characteristic of the Potassic Group."

"You can't go through years of education here in the U.S. without being exposed to the idea that everything is physical.
If you have a metaphysical, cosmic experience, well, that's just a chemical reaction. If you have a born-again experience, lithium will take care of it!
We come out of our schools with no appreciation of the mind or even the presence of consciousness. In reality, you can't find anything in the body that defines consciousness. It's hard to find anything that you can pinpoint as "the mind." It's time we admitted that nothing in chemistry or physics has even a remote bearing on consciousness. As David Chalmers, a philosopher at the University of California at Santa Cruz said in a recent article in Scientific American, it's time to bite the bullet and admit that consciousness is another force altogether, on a par with matter and energy.
When we talk of prayer we are talking about distant manifestations of consciousness. To talk in this way is to break some kind of taboo. We can accept the power of the mind in affecting bodily processes, but to talk interpersonally--that my consciousness can have an effect on other persons and events--is a major paradigm shift.
The first major shift in our thinking about health came in the mid 1800s when we began to view the body scientifically and mechanically. You identify what's not working right and fix it.
The second era brought in the connection between mind and body. We began to talk about psychosomatic illness.
The third era introduces the idea of non-local medicine. Local medicine believes that my mind is localized in my brain. Non-local medicine says that my mind may not be localized to my brain and body or even to the present moment.
One way to define intercessory prayer is as a "positive, distant, non-local manifestation of conciousness."
This includes born-again Christians' prayers as well as the Buddhists'. It can include rejoicing, talking, silence, be addressed to God or to the universe.
