A sacred tree in Thailand bears strange fruits in the shape of anatomically correct beautiful women!

In Buddhist mythology , a tree known as the Nariphon bears the fruit of young female creatures and is said to grow in the mythical forest called Himaphan.

The story goes that Buddhist god, Indra created a home in the forest for his wife Vessantara and his two children. But when Vessantara went out into the forest to collect food, she was in danger of being attacked by terrifying male creatures.Indra then created 12 special Nariphon trees which would bear fruit in his wife’s image to distract the creatures while she picked her own food.The men would take these fruits back to their homes and after making love to them would sleep for four months, and lose their powers.

According to Thai folklore, after Indra and his wife died, the trees continued to bear fruit. There are rumoured to be two Nariphon pods in a Buddhist temple near Bangkok.

Birds make incredible patterns when you trace their flights in a flock. 😮 Recent research shows that while jackdaw flocks can move like they’re a single mind by following a set of rules, some birds don’t obey these rules and instead fly with their mates. This allows the paired birds to use less energy in flight, but also makes the flock more vulnerable to predators. 🦅 📷 : Alex Thornton/University of Exeter http://bit.ly/2JyPj6C

Attract Ladybugs

Lots of flowers🐞(grow kitchen herbs like basil, thyme, arugula, rosemary, etc and let them flower. This doubles their usefulness, especially if you’re limited on space and can’t grow non-edible flowers)

Bug motels 🐞(bamboo shoot bundles, straw stuffed inside old bricks, sticks piled sideways in a recycled tin can, etc)

Watering hole 🐞(an old teacup filled with bitty pebbles, then filled with water will keep them from drowning and offer them water)

They eat bad bugs out of your garden (like aphids) and pollinate your plants, which feeds you

Ladybugs are also good luck, and a positive omen—especially if they land on you 🐞

Geometry and Divnity

Omnipresence

The Point

Divinity is present in every aspect of natural order and causality dimensions. It is part of the material world through various holistic and messianic incarnations, being at the same time a component of human thought and action. This kind of omnipresence is logical possible through the classical definition of a geometrical point, that is part of the entire space but does not occupy any of it.

Trinity

The Borromean Rings

While distinct and at the same time considered to be one in all else, the Three Divine Persons are sometimes represented by the Borromean Rings: no two of the three rings are linked with each other,but nonetheless all three are linked.

Divinity

Harmonic Proportion

The harmonic state of an element is associated with beauty, given by the equilibrium of its components. Nature is being perceived as beautiful, and its creator as good - inevitable and inherently in harmony with its creation.

Old and New Astronomy, 1892

What men recognised then in the movements of the heavenly bodies is true now and true for all time. And even in dealing with the limited knowledge and the imperfect methods of ancient astronomers, we need not hesitate to consider these movements as they are now recognised and understood.

“Conditional love is: I will only love you if you love me. Unconditional love is: I will love you even if you do not love me. It’s really easy to love passing strangers unconditionally. They demand nothing of you. It is really hard to love people unconditionally when they can hurt you.”

— Amanda Palmer
