Tertiary attraction culture is wishing people understood that non-romantic/sexual attraction/crushes can turn people as red as a tomato, too.

Sapphire Mystic Sky, A Noetic Height Somewhat Resembling the Sky’s Hue

"The fifth sign of the working in you of the Spirit... consists in the illuminated vision of your mind, which is seen in the firmament of your heart like the sapphire sky."

-- Joseph Hazzaya, also known as Joseph the Visionary or Joseph the Seer, translated from Syriac Aramaic by  Alphonse Mingana, Woodbrooke Studies, Volume Seven: Early Christian Mystics: https://archive.org/details/Mingana1934WoodbrookeStudiesVol.7

“The rays of primordial Light that illumine purified souls with spiritual knowledge not only fills them with benediction and luminosity; they also, by means of contemplation of the inner essences of created things, lead them up to the Noetic heavens. For this reason Saint Neilos says, ‘The intellect’s proper state is a noetic height, somewhat resembling the sky’s hue, which is filled with the Light of the Holy Trinity during the time of prayer.’”

There was this animation I was going to do, but I never got to it. It was supposed to be about the protests opening today. This was from last year

Synesthesic love

Or, "How do I think of you?"

You are like this hot shower

After the hockey game outside

You make me feel pure and soft

Even after our adult games

Our challenge of boasting

Where we all lost

You are like this smell

Of blueberries in august

You put me in a state

Of nostalgia and craving

When you're there

And when you're not

Noetic, of the Written Word

Dip your quill in ink, scribble on parchment the thoughts of your mind. Will such scribing make others think, or are they words meant for only you alone.

Look to knowledge, study your mind from what you write. Does the mind reflect intellect or does intellect reflect the mind...?

To think means nothing without knowing as knowing means nothing without the ability to think. Operations, processes of thinking, states of mental being give into products of the outside mind flooding in. But what of the inner mind seeping out...?

To think can be the highest faculty, but what one spends their time thinking on may be the true measure of one's human experience. Surly to think means not that you are intelligent, but the use of your time and experience makes all the mental difference...

Let me know what you think and pass the thought along.

When you stand up for the first time, you feel heavier, upside down, acceleration is through your chest; it takes your breath away. Looking down, everything is vibrant, peaceful--how do I hold this inside of me? This beautiful world, this conflicted world. No.

Your emotions end up behind you, they have flown away so fast, I can see light shining on the Ganges; you can reach into it, the vast outward, expanding. Maybe you are afraid of losing this moment star by star, of returning to find your balance; your bones have softened, you feel heavy.

the thought process behind these words was minimal. we could not come up with any sort of intelligence, no spark of mind. a dark bit of nothing in the brain. these words are as light as a plastic wrapper tossed aside. our hearts certainly have no sway here.
