Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

One of the subjects I find fascinating is Word Etymology, I study this subject for fun, occasionally.

A simplified example:

The word-Good - has as its Old English root - God. The Latin root is Bene or Bon. And in the Bible the word Ben refers to the Sons of God.
The word-Evil - has as its Old English root - Yfel, from which the word Fall is derived. And in Latin the root is Mal, which basically means - Bad.

Here we have two concepts that are in opposition, but that also may cancel eachother out, and thus harmony.

So, to the point I am aiming to make here. Many people go through their entire lives without having a single original thought, they just run the program, so to speak, and repeat what they have been told by others. I am no different. But occasionally, an original thought may be born by any of us.

One day it occured to me that there may be a relation between the words Song, sung, sang-and the words Sanguis (Latin for blood), and Sangre (Spanish for blood). "Sang" - being the root word. So how can various forms of what we call music be related to blood, I wondered? I often thought about this, and didnt really come up with an answer, other than the relationship of frequency.

Fast forward to a recent paper I read of a Danish study by some Doctorate candidates from a University in Copenhagen. It has been known for some time that the nerve cells in the brain (neurons) "communicate" by way of special chemicals called neurotransmitters which make cells more or less active, like Off and On switches. And what these researchers found was that there is also vibration involved in this process, and all vibration is Frequency. And so is all Music. In other words, the researchers found that when the neurons communicate there is a type of sound, or music involved also. Their data implied that Thought is generated by Sound, in a sense.

So here, we have a correlation between the blood that has a frequency of 0.03-0.05hz, and allows the brain to function, the brain with a resonance frequency of 10hz, and the neural activity in the brain-all of which, in harmony, can be viewed as a Symphony--which may conduct Original Thought.

Another interesting (to me) syncronicity that ties in here is the first sentence in the Bible. If you dont know it, then maybe you should read it, because it describes the root cause of everything, not just in terms of Religion but also of Physics.

And the first few words are: And God spoke the Word. The Word, or Sound came FIRST. One neednt think of God, here, as a bearded old man up there that did some stuff, but simply as Good. And what came after the Word? What did the Word generate? Sound is not what you might you think it is.

Another interesting question: what is the primary sense for the Blind? Is it Touch, or is it Sound? I would like to ask Stevie Wonder that question.

Isnt that beautiful???

Top Max- Many people rely upon the power of prayer and your logic is wrong which is rare- If that worked, we wouldn't be in the mess we have today

To test whether or not an argument is valid, you should first imagine that the premises are true-whether or not they actually are-and then ask yourself, without appealing to any other knowledge you have, could you still imagine the conclusion being false? If you can, the argument is invalid. If you can t, then the argument is valid.

If a person doesn t believe in the power of prayer- then that is their opinion.

In closing, you are one of my favorites- please no disrespect to you- just an aside bar talk…

- Desert_Woodworker
I'm not opposed to prayer. I do it. There are places that are so wicked God cannot change it; ie, He flooded the world. Reset and restart.

My grandpa George Burroughs was the only minister executed for witchcraft at Salem in 1692. He was reciting the Lord's Prayer as they executed him. Witches were not supposed to be able to do that. I rest my case.

The guy that made up that index could not put 100# overhead with one hand. His system does not allow for it to happen. He discriminates against working guys in favor of desk jockeys.

I can still jerk, clean and press over 250lbs (way down from 20 years ago) but that doesn't seem to matter. I like that I can still do that but my knees do give me fits sometimes, they don't care if they're supporting lean muscle or lard, it's still a burden on them eithr way.

Corlez and DW I will test the cookies if I have too.

I shot 76 on monday and 74 yesterday (-2 on the back 34!). (very good scores for me) Playing along with Gene (a zero handicap) he was on the phone the entire round trying and then getting a covid appointment. He shot 69 totally distracted. Maybe I should try that? Gene has played in the Sr. U.S. and British Amateurs .

Wildwood - that is too deep for me waking up after a big night w friends.

- TopamaxSurvivor
That is the first sentence, yes, but could it not be interpreted as an IDEA? Created the Idea of….......

Heaven and Earth.

Because >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

-2 : And the Earth was without form, and Darkness was upon the face of the deep - so you cant do much in a darkness without form.

Then -3 : And God Said! the Word, the Sound, and then - came Light

That was the First Action.

And God saw the Light and it was Good.

So, my interpretation is correct.

I was writing in the sense of Concepts, not verbatim. Perhaps I should have had the Bible handy.

I was not talking about Religion. I am talking about Physics.

Jeez, not a single comment about how the relation between the Blood and Music might be even the slightest bit interesting.

Brian- don't get bitchy. Time zones and it is early here. Many times a post goes up and it takes a while for us to see it and respond. Think of it like this your post went up but it did not accelerate like the Reddit- Game Stop yet I personally like your post.

As for sounds- I prefer classical music…

It saddens me that you call out the Hot Pocket! Have you tried the Jimmy Dean products?
