STARBURSTS: Let Me Give YOU a Piece of MY Mind!

Starbursts on this page are essays with fireworks in them, exploding in your mind like a bursting star. The term is used for the rapid formation of stars in a young galaxy, for a vision problem where you see flecks of light shooting off lighted objects and a heavily promoted candy from Mars.

Starbursts hope to be a z-axis project. That is perpendicular to the x-y axis of everything you see on the flat screen or plane paper. In school, the z-axis is drawn on that same paper using visual illusions of depth. These essays aim for the true third mutual perpendicular to the plane.

That is, the line from the cross-beams of the flat screen out to you as a living person. That is the real third dimension of the plane. Everything you need to see outside can be represented within the x-y plane-at least with computer monitor assistance. The third dimension by mutual perpendicular is YOU and your life on the surface of Planet Earth.

Starbursts are a bit of a bugle call to wake up and smell the smoke. Following where you are being led never did a lamb, steer or any youth any good at all. You must get your own direction to go your own way. The old underground railway song still points the way in a way.

Look to the North, not here on Earth, but in the Northern hemisphere, look to where the sun’s shadow points each and every day at high noon. Every straight stick points to the Earth’s geographical exactly as the shadow of that stick becomes shortest. Mark off the end of that shadow a few hours before high noon (not clock time of course), mark it again a few hours after and the bisector of that arc will be exact local noon when the sun crosses your zenith.

Starbursts: The shadow at that time will be the shortest of the day, with an angle it equal to your latitude. Watching the shadow of the stick will teach you the way the Sunshine interacts with Planet Earth local geography or topography. Watch it by night and you will learn about the phases of the moon. Sleep out in that moonshine and you will be back into the natural world of original indigenous peoples.

Starbursts: The ancient and natural is not far away, it doesn’t even require special organic foods. It is all about us as it has always been. The modern world is a matter of misdirection. Watch our clocks and dials, screens and signs and forget about your body and the natural world. They won’t give us any sales revenues and if we don’t get 10% more this year we will be failures.

That z-axis also goes the other way through the looking glass into the inner world of magic and the occult. Through the looking glass is a concrete, objective view. Starbursts: It is a projection of what is available to each of us within our minds when we are alone, quiet with our eyes closed.

True magic is symbolic poetry. Sound dull and puny? That is part of the trick of the academic system. Symbolic poetry is the expression of passionate human feelings through a framework of words and structures using objective imagery to shield the personal from unwanted attention. Until you can connect with the original feelings involved, poetry is just empty words without complete grammar.

Try to express what you truly care about only not in direct sentences. Use images and symbols only you truly understand. Put those images into an objective framework—say 10 syllables to the line. Choose words that sound nice to those you don’t want to understand what you are really feeling and trying to express.

Starbursts: When you have your “poem” in a form that others can read and say, “OK” without understanding a bit of what you really mean, then you have learned to perform magic. The hidden aspect is what makes it so special. Occult is simply Latin for “hidden” and everything secret has an element of the special to it.

Modern science is all about learning to see the world through the equations they teach you in class. Postmodern science begins when you realize those equations are obsolete at best. When you look at the world with your own eyes and wonder how to express what you both see and feel, you begin to be a postmodern scientist.

Starbursts: Postmodern science will rely upon straight stick timing shadows, not mechanical clocks. It will consider human realities not abstract dead weight mass. It will measure things in relation to Planet Earth topography not abstract distance. And its fourth dimension will be its relevance to you the living person.

Here is a short list of Starbursts topics—COMING SOON—when the items on the list will be replaced with text links to the essays.

For Those Who Want A Piece of My Mind—here they are for YOU to choose from:

• Truth, Justice, Freedom—Abstract Ideals or Simple Reality Beyond Human Meddling?
• Politics (and its marketing arm Economics) as the PR hype
  to control the printing details on the government grants folders.
• In an world where all serious money is tied to government grants,
  brokers’ commissions, and mass marketing corruption is universal.
• What Can You Rely Upon? Your Parents All Ways Told YOU “NO!” and
  “Why Aren’t You More Like Someone Else!”
• Postmodern Technology—Using Tools instead of Machines
  to focus Upon Human Expression not brute power
• Human Evolution—Are we the Crown of Creation
  Hand made as God’s self-portrait-- walking upright to be closer to Heaven?
• Chimpanzee Evolution—Are humans the branch of Pigmy Chimps
  who learned to run into the new water way instead of back to the trees?
• Conservatives—Political Partisans or just Raw, Self-Absorbed Inertia?
• How do YOU find the natural way of life when all the native peoples are being destroyed?
