  4. Empty Your Cup

    But a good bonk with a boken is a very good 'implant' to help avoid bad habits - teacher ; '' Stop sticking your elbow out like that ... it will get hit ! '' Me: '' Stop just saying that and hit it then ! ' eventually ..... 'Bonk!' . That fixed the problem .... got right into the autonomous nervous system it did - no more elbow sticking out . ( in this case I 'asked for it' ... it might not be good idea to start randomly doing that ) .

    One of the ways in is along a deep corridor with cliffs either side and both side are shot through with veins of black or white quartz ... its very 'contrasting ' . the path is strewn with black and white gravel . It is now several hundred meters below the original surface .... all eroded down . One interesting feature up the valley is 'The Crescent Complex ' , an old volcano . Its a mix of geology around here which makes for a great range of interesting 'river rocks' . On a hot day I am wont to float around in the shallows with a face mask on , checking them out ..... and making sure they are rocks ! Ugly bastards ! 'Bullrout' - aka stonefish . . . and packs a whallop * ! Once when doing the above in shallow water I nearly scraped my 'dangly bits ' over one , saw the eye on the 'weedy rock' at the last second ..... and put it in reverse ! One guy trod on one and didnt want to go to hospital as we were told the toxic in the 'dart' does not kill you, its just extremely painful and he decide to wait it out . Boy did he go through hell , at one stage he said he felt like he was going to die . After recovery a nurse told him ; ''Oh no ! You can die from it ... from the 'shock' of the pain .'' . I have never experienced it thank God ... stinging tree was bad enough ! here you go , two sources , AI and me : AI Overview The geology of Cathedral Rock, Ebor, involves granite from the New England batholith (around 270 million years ago), which was later weathered to expose the tors, and a more recent basalt capping on Round Mountain (around 18 million years ago) from the Ebor volcano. The region also contains sedimentary rocks, and the granite features include fissures that formed dykes and the exposed granite tors like Cathedral Rock itself. Granite Formation Origin: The massive granite rocks at Cathedral Rock are part of the New England batholith, which formed deep underground about 270 million years ago. Intrusions: For about 50 million years after the batholith formed, molten rock was forced into cracks in the Earth's crust, creating dykes still visible today. Exposed Tors: Over millions of years, weathering has eroded the surrounding rock, leaving the large, exposed granite boulders, known as tors, which form Cathedral Rock. Volcanic Activity Ebor Volcano: The most recent geological feature in the park is the basalt cap on the summit of Round Mountain. Basalt Flows: This basalt originated from the Ebor volcano, which was active around 18 million years ago. Sedimentary Rocks The broader area contains Permian and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks. These were later intruded and metamorphosed by the granite and subsequently by basaltic magmas from the Ebor volcano. and https://nrgeology.blogspot.com/2011/11/looking-out-from-lookout-at-point.html
  8. The amazing insight of a neural network

    Thanks for that ..... and all the 'Nun ' comments that followed . However one major aspect of my character was not examined ......
  9. They are all different . A thought is a mental cognitive string . Thinking is thoughts strung together . Imagination is that refined process , when coupled with material output ( eg tool making ) that is the definitive difference between humans and the other animals . In that regard it is a postulation of perceived events and / or objects , followed mentally and observing process that may or may not unfold from them for either future uses or reviewing the past possibilities . But like thought imagination can be sub optimal or unbalanced . Intent is a mental desire to cause effect . Setting intention is the mental action involved in this . Using intention is the process of this .
  10. high places

    The highest you can get in my area ; I noticed a little crack / cave under the natural rock step , the last one up to the top rock . I felt compelled to put my hand in and feel around . The people I was with thought I was nuts ; 'There could be a brown snake in there ! '' But I had to keep going, to the extent I had to lie down and stick my arm in up to the shoulder . I felt around and there was some thing on the floor of the little cave so I retrieved it . It was small black crystal rod . Still got it .
