there is nothing to say. just to see for those of us privileged enough with sight.

overview a good video. 20 min.

First strike

Take it from the top. This is the nasa version. There are several videos you may watch. I suggest to watch them all. One can see how there would be belief of first strike. One can also see how easily injury occurred. I would have run to the window to see. One very smart woman, an elementary school teacher, instead of running to the window immediately had her pupils assume the defense position that they had drilled for.

Human senses conceptualize environment based on relationship history.

I once met a family; Parents, adult children and their adult cousins. I was the recipient of their talk as they were trying to interpret what was happening in their environment. Their loved one was critically ill. Each person so clearly exhibited no thought during the time I was hearing their words. Every one of them parroted what they had heard said by others. They each spoke to me. One at a time. The next. The next one. The next. The next one.
At first we see through a glass darkly . . .
We use our senses to conceptualize the surrounding environment. We use our brain to interpret the senses' stimulation. Our relationships influence how our brains interpret the stimuli.

Brain (thought) as a tool

 Between sunrise and sunset one has opportunity to grow things in the mind. One may grow new things and continue growing things started previously. One has opportunity to discard things previously grown. That's harder to do once they've become semi-hardwired in the brain, but possible. One may deliberately choose to semi-hardwire something in the brain. Will Bason on Facebook writes; "Who is this gardener who grows and tends this body? Who is the gardener who cultivates this mind?"
The brain is an organ that *you* use. A tool.
*You* are "that that watches." You are that that judges, most often based on not understanding. (Note the 2 types of y-o-u).
We are free to CREATE anything we want to between sunrise and sunset (day), and throughout the time the planet is turned away from the star (night).

Lesson 3 Posted on May 11th, 2008 by A Course In Miracles Workbook and Forum in Workbook Part 1 | 
I do not understand anything I see. I do not understand anything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place]. Apply this idea in the same way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind. Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be sure that you do not question the suitability of anything for application of the idea. These are not exercises in judgment. Anything is suitable if you see it. Some of the things you see may have emotionally charged meaning for you. Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly as you would anything else. The point of the exercises is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you really understand about them. It is therefore essential that you keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the idea for the day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like another; equally suitable and therefore equally useful.

i apply this idea now to what the purpose of this blog is. i do not understand anything that i write. (Note the i)

baumgartner's view

Looking out through Felix Baumgartner's capsule.

A space rock, which was shed from a comet heading either to or from the sun, is traveling at tens of thousands of miles an hour. The rock gets caught in the planet's atmosphere. The planet is spinning at 1040 miles an hour. The friction of this encounter causes the rock to flame up (a meteor or shooting star).

Felix wasn't going that fast.
