    January 29 will be Freethinkers Day, also known as Thomas Paine Day.

    To find a significant point, a point of origin,
    a point where a curve intersects a line reminds me
    of the 1/2 where prime numbers are expected to be found.

    My above attempt failed as usual.

    Each day could be as particular, in particular,
    as any other point-particle of a field as it waves.

    Note that the coming full moon coincides this year with Imbolc/Brigid|o-C-Os/Candlemas/Groundhog Day .

    Astronomical coincidences, occult eclipsing
    of esoteric lore when a prime factors in to be
    a most basic mathematical entity.

    I plan to
    try again beginning at the exact time of full moon, which
    will be 6:39 p.m. NST (2209 UTC) February 1, 2026.

    To launch a ship and sail the seas, carpe diem.

    If that fails I will probably wait until the next new/dark moon,
    which is Chinese New Year and a significant birthday in
    my family, to try again. However that is also the day of
    or the day before (depending on the sighting of the
    waxing crescent) the start of Ramadan, and I don|o-C-Ot really
    expect a correlation with an existing religious holiday.

    Relations occur. Causation is a paradigm.

    I won|o-C-Ot announce the full moon attempt on all these
    groups, just on alt.religion.druid , except by this post.

    A post, once a tree, branches.

    A post with branches leaves me in wonder.

    - thanks! Cheers!

    You're only as old as you think. Time is an illusion.

    Identifying with a noun or a verb happens.
    At least once upon a time, it could have.

    A body is usually born, grows, declines and
    eventually its life is over, done with.

    Whether an individual is that body
    or thinks of its self as an other
    type of thing or non-thing may be.

    When no so-called others exist
    in a mind as forms then a thought
    could be of eternity, not mortality.

    Immortality as a feature of Daojia
    could involve evolving to a point
    beyond which there is no grid.

    Vanishing points.
    Banishing points.
    Perish a thought.

    When there are no thoughts,
    to think of such a thing, an
    activity, could account for a
    kind of Being or Nonbeing.
