Life is like a house...

[SA]

Life is more like a crystal, a snowflake crystal, growing out in all directions. Rather than a house, predicated on a solid foundation, deficiencies in which can topple the entire structure, the crystal can form and reform at will, *your* will, your knowledge. The more you know, the more you learn, the more resilient the crystal.

Take one branch out of that snowflake crystal and, if you have the will, the knowledge, you can grown that branch back in no time. Sometimes stronger, better.

Take the centre out of that crystal and the same applies. The crystal can regenerate within and outward, given the will and the knowledge.

Snowflake crystals also have the uncanny ability to bond, meld together, intertwine - share knowledge, experience, life. Sticky snow is the best for building "stuff", isn't it? That non-sticky, fluffy snow is so easy to blow or shovel out of the way. No cohesion there; no unity.

Fluffy, non-cohesive snow crystals are not entirely doomed. What happens when you pee on a bunch of them? All of a sudden, they become clumpy. Yellow, marred, but united. This is the state of the people of many nations right now, the United States included. *Bing!* A light go off in your head? We're on our way.

No nation is different. No community is different. Bluelight is no different. Bluelight was *born* out of a peed on clump of fluffy snow which clumped together... as were many online communities past, present and future.

Houses don't interact. Don't be a house, be a snowflake. If you can, be THE snowflake.


Peace, love and peanut butter sandwiches.

People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.

I have many houses and they are all made out of clay.

Basically, what are everyones views with the paradigm of life being compared to building a house. What is your foundation? What do you put into the rooms of your house? Is it kept maintained and allowed to add other levels to it or left cluttered and cramped? I ask these things not for other people to start bashing how another individual builds their house(as a person who is quick to bash and insult anothers house in a non-constructive manner is likely building a house that is dilapidated and will soon fall).

Pariahprose

The foundation of my house starts with the faith and trust in a Higher Power(spiritually aspect). I build myself physically strong (could say analogy to the walls and physical aspect of my house) and I attempt to keep clean the rooms or storage from clutter in mental tasks or assignments (the mind), although sometimes I let the junk build up before I clean it out.

Life or house just start at the bottom and work up.

Matthew 7:24-27

24 Whosoever then heareth of me these words, and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man, which hath builded his house on a rock:

25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not: for it was grounded on a rock,

26 But whosoever heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which hath builded his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and the fall thereof was great.

Life is like a complex chemical reaction involving many different species of carbon based macro-molecules and catalytic reagents. Just like in polymerase chain reaction, since it was copied from how life works to synthesize DNA.

DNA is mostly representative of our spiritual ancestors, more then the physical.

not sure if you agree, personally, rangrz - just saying.

DNA is really and truly a physical thing.

Put about half a cup of berries or meat, a cup of cold water about one ML by volume of salt into a blender. Blend it for 15-20 seconds.
Strain that into a new container.
Put like 25-30 ML of dish or laundry soap, stir it with a spoon. Leave it there for 15 minutes.
Pour a little bit into a few small containers, don't fill them up too high.
Put a little bit (like just a shake) of papaya proteinase I (aka meat tenderizer powder) in the solution. Stir very gently.
Add an equal quantity of isopropyl alcohol as there is pea/water solute.
The alcohol will float on the water. You'll notice white, stringy, goopy stuff (not that different from baby batter) at the boundary of the two layers.
Collect it with a wooden stick like an incense stick bottom piece.

Volia, DNA, in a tangible, visual, touchable physical form.

More importantly, and not accessible in a kitchen. When one examines DNA from say, a Cell culture or from a PCR reaction, you'll find that DNA is the same as the original source, and that it conveys physical information about protein structures. It's not a spiritual thing. It's a physical thing.

how do you know this?

experience?

once i began to realize my self, my DNA, and accepted the trials that came with it, such as past life, and physically related retributions, my life became successful beyond that of my imagination. there is no other reason IMO.

the oxidation of our DNA, is the cause of many disruptions in our lives cycles(dahrma), and the cause of many health issues, such as cancers and immune system disorders; which have been extraordinarily high for our times, or, just new.

the less they know, the more they are pleased - to argue about what they say.

how do you know this?

experience?

Yes, experience. My undergrad: It's in a very relevant field to this subject. DNA extraction, both this handwavey technique I posted, and the real deal laboratory stuff, I've done it.

PCR: I've done that too.

Scientific literature: Many people with vastly better qualifications and experience than myself have done it, and published it. I learn from their work too.

Oxidation of DNA has been happening for over 3 billion years. It's not a new phenomena. It's brute fact of biochemistry that it will happen it all organisms.

thats why they are still studying the "subject".

we also have existed for much longer with out much progression, or dont need to physically progress.

 

[rangrz]

Life has always evolved in the usual meaning of that word. The more fit organisms always out-compete the less fit. The environment of the Earth did not change so much for the longest time. Specifically, until the "Oxygen Catastrophe"...which happened after Cyanobacteria evolved and began photosynthesis. Once the reduced iron in the Earth had become fully oxidized, then oxygen began building up in the air. That charged shit, and Eukaryotes appeared not too long after.

Eukaryotes, by virtue of their mitochondria, can form more complex organisms made of many cells. That opened the door to new types of competition. Etc.

Personally, I'm just tryna move outta my house into a better one. But to do that I need to make better and flip my current house if ye get me?
