The first picture is a goldmine.

It shows Tartaria AND America.

SEPARATE yet depicting them together IS IMPORTANT

The drawing is by Athanasius Kircher (1602–1680) he spoke on Tartaria and America.

Tartaria was known as the old world while America was the new world.

To the Masons America was the Ancient land of esoteric wisdom that predates Egypt.

It seems to be tied in with Atlantis which is where all of the Greco Roman architecture comes from

Known as the last renaissance man and the first globally famous scientist in recorded history, Kircher wrote on magnetism, optics, linguistics, Egyptology, music, geology, medicine, and cosmology.

His work sits at a fascinating transitional moment, where medieval symbolic thinking and early modern experimental science overlap.

He was not a physicist in the modern sense, but a unifier looking for a single principle connecting nature, spirit, and the cosmos.

He found that in magnetism

Kircher stated that the force which draws objects together in magnetism was the same force that drew man’s soul towards God

Physical magnetism and spiritual love were expressions of one cosmic principle of cohesion.

Kircher’s most “load-bearing” conceptual move is that magnetism becomes a generalized explanatory pattern: it is how bodies cohere, how levels of being relate, and crucially how creation is oriented to God.

In the “Magnetismus amoris” section (Book III), he explicitly equates love with a magnetic principle embedded in all things and describes cosmic motion as a magnetic circuit issuing from God and returning to God just as we see with the electromagnetic behavior of the Torus.

Among the Dead Sea Scrolls there was a text called the Book of Giants.

In that book, one of the giants mentioned is named Gilgamesh.

What a coincidence that in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh goes on a quest to find the man who survived the great flood.

Noah.

The deeper you dig into the ancient texts, the more the flood story keeps popping up. And not as an allegory, as a fact.

The flood account in Genesis has been preserved in hundreds of stories across the ancient world.

Date Ideas That Bring Out Your Inner Child

Sometimes the best dates are not fancy restaurants or expensive outings. They are the ones that remind you of who you were before bills and responsibilities. Here are a few ideas to help you both reconnect with that lighter, playful side:

Indoor Play Date
This date has no pressure, no fancy dress code, and no expensive bills. Just you, her, and your inner children. Watch Cartoons, Play Games, Cook, Eat, Draw, and Ask Deep Questions. Put on old cartoons or movies you both loved as kids. After an episode or two, switch to board games or card games. Ludo, Scrabble, Monopoly, Chess. When you feel like eating, cook something simple together.

After eating, write deep, personal questions on small pieces of paper. Fold them and put them in a container. Each person picks a question, answers honestly, and the other listens without interrupting.

Paint or Draw Together
Get cheap paper, crayons, or watercolours. Do not worry about making art. Just draw whatever comes to mind. Show each other your drawings. Laugh at how terrible they are. That is the point.

Baking Cookies or Cake
Bake something simple like cookies or a cake. Let one person be in charge of mixing. The other handles the decorations. Make a mess. Eat the batter. Burn the first batch and try again.

Arcade Date
Go to an arcade and play racing games, shooting games, or air hockey. Loser buys ice cream.

Picnic with Simple Games
Pack a blanket and simple snacks. Bring a football, a frisbee, or just a deck of cards. No phones. Just grass, fresh air, and playful competition. Food or Snacks.

Cook a Childhood Meal Together
Cook something you both loved as kids. Maybe it is pancakes with too much syrup, or noodles with egg, or something your grandma or parents used to make. Eat it on the floor like you are having a picnic in the living room.

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

[BowTiedPassport @BowTiedPassport]

Having your wife run a home business that caters to women is a clutch move.

Women can sell to other women at crazy margins.

These women have zero concept of money because they spend their husband’s & boyfriend’s.

Batch of cookies that cost .30 cents a piece are now $15 for 4 because the wife put a puppy sticker on a cellophane bag.

if you’re already healthy, lean, hydrated etc & still feel like your face looks puffy…

try aspirin.

people often mistake inflammation for fat

ray peat spoke about aspirin being underrated for aesthetic, inflammation, stress hormones & overall metabolism.

it may help through:

> lowering inflammation + prostaglandins
> reducing ‘moon face’ from water retention
> improving circulation 
> lowering stress chemistry that can age the face
> calming inflammatory redness
> making the skin appear tighter

300mg should do, with food.

& if you’re still apprehensive about pharmaceuticals in 2026, this stuff has been around since 1899…

If you want to increase your ability to concentrate and have more control over your own mind, try this exercise daily for 5 minutes. It was created by one of the most intelligent men of the 20th century, Rudolf Steiner.

Use an ordinary object (a pencil, clothe spin, clip, book, etc.) and think about it for five minutes every day. You take an object in front of you or in your mind and the first time you describe it to yourself aloud. You can also imagine yourself describing it to a blind person.

Use all your senses and make as many observations as you can in five minutes. Repeat this the next day, you will probably notice new details.

After a while you can ask questions about the object: "What can I do with it?", "What is it made of?", "Why this shape?", "What other shapes could it have?", "Where was it made?", "How did I get it?"," How are the raw materials mined?", etc. You will be able to answer some of these questions. If not, you can search for an answer in an encyclopaedia or on the internet.

Your should be able to determine whether your thoughts are correct, otherwise your thoughts will wander. which is not the intention.

You can repeat what you did the day before and build on your previous thoughts. After some time you will have covered all possible questions, then do it one or two more times until you can really find no more issues to think about. Then follow the same procedure with another object.

When doing this exercise you may notice that your thinking gets clearer and sharper, and that your perception, concentration and objectivity increase. Also, your interest grows.

The difficulty of the exercise is that your mind wanders. The challenge is to be able to think about the object for five minutes, but you will find that your mind wanders to something else very easily, that your thoughts are associative and work automatically. E.g. you think of a pencil and suddenly you see in your mind your grandma with a pencil in her hand, grandma has a budgerigar and suddenly you are thinking about the whistling of this bird. Interrupt such thoughts: you wanted to think about the pencil.

The exercise is called control of the mind. The example just given shows that often there is no control over our thinking. We are thought, our thinking is associative and automatic. We believe that we think, but our thinking is often not focused.

Make sure that you do the exercise every day. You can choose a fixed time. Choose a time when you are awake and clear-headed, so not after dinner, but for example before or after breakfast or at 8 o'clock at night. You can also do it while waiting for the train, in a spare moment. Doing the exercise with two or three objects should be sufficient.
