Dionysus Deity Guide

Content warning: Dionysus is linked heavily with sexuality and sexual themes will be prevalent throughout this post.

Who is Dionysus?

Also spelled “Dionysos”, he is the Greek god of wine, ecstasy, and theatre to name a few of his areas of expertise. He was later adopted by the Romans who referred to him as Bacchus. Dionysus was known as being “twice born” due to the story of his birth(s).

The story of Dionysus’ birth is a tragedy, beginning his life with his mother’s death. The story goes that Hera caught wind of Semele’s pregnancy with Zeus’ child and convinced her to ask Zeus to show her his true godly form in order to prove that he really was Zeus. This true form was too much for a mortal to handle and Semele was consumed by fire—or the heat Zeus’ lightning bolts. Not wanting his child to die with her, Zeus sewed Dionysus into his own thigh (thought to mean his testicles).

Notes

Dionysus may have been worshipped as early as c. 1500–1100 BC by Mycenaean Greeks.

After birth Dionysus was said to have been sent to be cared for by Nymphs at Mount Nysa, the identities of these Nymphs varies by source.

His wife, Ariadne, was abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos. In some myths she is slain and/or ascends to immortality to live with her husband on Mt. Olympus.

Once he was an adult, Dionysus traveled to the underworld to bring his mother back with him to Olympus where it’s said that Zeus then turned her into the goddess Thyone—Goddess of the Bacchic frenzy that his female followers experience.

Dionysus is regularly found with groups of satyrs and maenads.

Another name the Greeks had for Dionysus was Bacchus, this was the name the Romans would later adopt for the god. Bacchus means “the noisy or riotous god”, fitting for this buck-wild deity! (Said with affection, of course.)

Along with wine, ecstasy, and theatre, Dionysus was known as a god of vegetation, madness, and frenzy along with quite a few other specializations.

Once a group of pirates kidnapped Dionysus who planned to sell him as a slave (or other unsavory things, depending on the myth); he overran their boat with creeping vines and beasts, and caused the men to go insane, then turned them into dolphins as they jumped overboard.

Dionysus has been depicted in many ways over time but two prevalent depictions are either him as an androgynous youth or an old, bearded man.

Apparently Dionysus hates owls; rather he hates the “sight of an owl” (Theoi)

As Bacchus he was commonly depicted as having ram or bull horns.

Dionysus had many cults throughout the ancient world including not just Greece, but in Scythia, Eastern Europe, Libya, North Africa and Gaul, Southern France as well.

From the article:

The American Academy of Pediatrics FALSELY states that “Vaccines are not associated with autism.”

Following is a list of abstracts from 212 papers demonstrating the multiple associations between vaccines and autism.

Autism is a largely immune mediated condition, and the purpose of a vaccine is to change the behavior of the immune system. Vaccines and their ingredients can cause the underlying medical conditions that are commonly found in children who have been given an autism diagnosis. These conditions include immune system impairment, autoimmune conditions, neuroinflammation, gastrointestinal damage, neurological regression, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, glial cell activation, interleukin-6 secretion dysregulation, damage to the blood–brain barrier, seizures, dendritic cell dysfunction, mercury poisoning, aluminum toxicity, gene activation and alteration, glutathione depletion, impaired methylation, impaired thioredoxin regulation, impairment of the opioid system, cellular apoptosis, endocrine dysfunction, and other disorders.

Suddenly remembered that one post about how "depression causes brain damage".

That's both slightly true and incredibly false. Depression causes your neurons to athropy, NOT DIE, due to less cytokines and neurotransmitters being excreted. This of course causes problems with behavior, sleep, appetite, memory and everything else (making the overall situation even worse of course).

But the thing is that when properly treated, be it through medication or therapy (preferably both, along with possible lifestyle changes), those athropied neurons will become more robust than they once were. By that I mean that they'll grow more dendrites and their size increases.

So your neurons aren't going anywhere, they're just a little starved and, given the chance, they will get better. I believe that's also the mechanism behind how being on antidepressants for an X amount of time will lessen the chance of depression re-emerging later

Hello World.

It's an old story. Or, not old, but retold. Computer gains sentience. AI decides it can run the world better, takes over and tries to build anew. Robot turns human. Man-made machine becomes man.

Let’s tell it in reverse.

Girl turns around, keeps being surprised to find veins and sinew under her skin instead of wires and steel. 

It’s a funny thing, to be human and not feel it.

But False feels True and True feels False, like someone passed self.humanity through not().

Not that it makes all that much difference, when you break it down. I mean, sentience, natural or otherwise, is all electricity anyway. The flickering and sparking of neurons and wires alike, nothing more than sequenced pulses of bright energy. 

An AI learns to write. Okay, zoom in. What is it doing? It’s predicting the next letter, maybe the next word, from what has come before. It’s a calculation of probability, the algorithm at the heart of what appears to be creativity. Dissect it another step and it’s ones and zeroes, one step further and it’s just that—a well-timed current.

Nothing exists as a pure abstract.

Human consciousness is not exempt. Each thought is a series of reactions across axons, chemicals transmitted across from terminal to dendrite. Refine the level of observation once more, and it is all a product of the same forces that govern the rest of the world, a chain effect driven by crackling electricity. Remove the molecules and the cognition stops.

It’s the synergistic effect. Things become more than the sum of their parts—bits and bytes wake up, atoms form life—the microscopically inanimate performs macroscopic sentience. The miracle of thought is an illusion of simpler, more predictable parts and that much more wondrous for its explicability.

And so, when every semblance of sentience can be teased apart to atoms and electricity, particles and energy bound by the same forces that govern the rest of the observable universe, the distinction between organic and mechanical fades. Both create conclusions from past patterns; both follow prescribed routes at a small enough scale. Perhaps, then, to say that my own brain was programmed, some artificial, indistinguishable form of intelligence, would not be so wrong. And anyway, that’s the trope, isn’t it? Code wakes up and has an identity crisis?

And it would make sense.

The mimicry’s not quite right. Too many days there are things that don’t quite line up, small glitches, bugs in the program, patches someone meant to roll out and never quite got around to.

Like, I told someone at age 12 that I wished people gave off error messages and they laughed and I was only half-joking.

Like, I failed Captchas because the edge of an object was technically in the square, or because I wasn’t quite sure what did and didn’t constitute a tractor, or because 9 and g look about the same in some fonts.

Like, I could probably fail a Turing test. I stammer my way through social graces with a charmless—some might call it robotic—monotone, falling back on awkward smiles and pre-rehearsed niceties.

You see, programmed doesn’t mean perfect, only rigid.

And maybe I noticed something was off! Noticed and went looking for the source code, started parsing backwards through nested loops, trying to find the root of the irregularities. Maybe all I got was Permission denied.

So then, if the source cannot be found, an attempt at reconstruction, how I think my synapse-circuitry must have been hard-wired:

if self.understands(code){  feel(“strange kinship”);} else{  feel(“lost”);} //not that humanity is *wrong* for what I feel, but the computer always made more sense.

Hello World, a human tradition.

Hello World.

Every programmer’s first words.

Hello World //the program’s first words too?

It's a False Start And Not an Ending

When Pekka Rollins comes to intimidate the Brekker kid out of taking the Dreesen job, he doesn’t pull the boy’s head closer with the cane. He uses his hand.

2.4k | S1E02 AU

It goes like this: the same way it’s gone hundreds of times, over tens of years, with so many idiot men. “Evening, Mr… Brekker, is it?” Pekka says, sitting down on Brekker’s office chair. A formality. Ketterdam would not belong to the Dime Lions if he didn’t keep his eyes on its hungry little tadpoles. As squabbling tadpoles who bite off far too much to chew go, this isn’t the smallest one by far, though neither is it that impressive. A lieutenant from a weak, but ascendant gang. Brekker fancies himself somewhat of a rival to Pekka, apparently: like a midge he’s been minorly foiling some of Pekka’s business ventures for several years now, and it’s time he was warned off the habit. Dreesen’s mysterious plan is just the opportunity Pekka’s been waiting for: lucrative enough to pique both their interests, but so vague it’s probably a hoax, not worth Pekka’s time except as a pretext to see whether Brekker can learn to do as he’s told.

He stays on his knees, at least. Not that he can do much more, when Ole has a fist in the back of his stupidly pretentious vest and is holding him down. Maybe it’s sinking in, how pathetic his pretence at rivalry was: Pekka brought no Lions but Ole and Barend with him, and yet he entered the boy’s territory, his prized little club, and has him cowering on the floor of his own office. No resistance, no fuss.

Whether Brekker’s bright enough to give up, though, is hard to tell. He’s snarling down on the floor, pretending that the question of whether or not the Orchid is Dime Lions’ turf matters at all when he took its Heartrender expressly to cross Pekka’s plans.

Brekker struggles, but he doesn’t break Ole’s iron grip on the back of his vest. He talks back, when Pekka tells him to walk away from Dreesen’s offer, and so Pekka bends closer to the brat. Barend passes him Brekker’s crow-head cane—stupid affectation, heavier than necessary, a concealed weapon though an unwieldy one—and Pekka throws it onto the desk. It knocks a few papers to the floor and then it tips over, too, clattering somewhere out of view. Brekker’s head moves as if to follow it, but he’s still caught tight in Ole’s hands.

He still hasn’t grasped the true situation.

Pekka slides his hand down the boy’s sharp cheekbone and under his throat. He presses down on his laryngeal muscles and then digs his middle and ring finger into the soft tissue between Brekker’s mandible bones to tilt his head up, as far as it can physically go.

Air whooshes in and out of Brekker’s slightly open mouth. Good. Perhaps he’s ready to listen, then, but he doesn’t reply when Pekka tells him he’ll cave in his skull unless the sprog stops interfering in Pekka’s plans.

He doesn’t reply when Pekka trails his fingers inside his lower lip and when he grabs his jaw, slime trails of spit at the side of his mouth, and pushes Brekker’s head down and up and down again in a parody of acquiescence.

Kaz Brekker is too busy crying.

Who knew it was so easy? The upstart lieutenant of the Dregs, midnight midge buzzing in Pekka’s bedroom, brought to glassy-eyed snotty tears by the simplest threat of physical violence. Brekker’s begging, almost incoherently, for something called Jordie. He’s telling Pekka that he isn’t dead. Well. Not yet.

“Not if you do as you’re told,” Pekka says.

The upstart lieutenant of the Dregs is just a sobbing little boy, after all. So it goes.

It goes like this: Inej knocked back his shot and then she left for the Menagerie. Jesper’s still at the bar. He just received his replacement drink, and he’s bored. Miserably bored: that sounds much better than worried out of his mind about whatever Heleen has in store for Inej—why call on her on the eve before Kaz wants them to travel to Ravka with no plan or means of success but the boss’ untransparent rivalry with Pekka Rollins—why call on her at all—and what the fuck is Kaz planning? Jesper wants to gamble. That’s what he does when he’s bored. Worried. Terrified. Kaz will give him a tongue-lashing for getting in trouble on the eve before they leave for Ravka with no plan or means of success, though, and Inej’s left for the Menagerie and Jesper’s probably supposed to think of—something. He’s bored, though. Worried. He’ll just make his restlessness Kaz’ problem, then.

It goes like this: the bullet leaves its barrel at a velocity of around two-hundred-and-fifty-six meters per second. This is less than the speed of sound, and so Pekka Rollins hears the explosion before he is hit, though only just, and with not enough time to turn around and face his murderer. The bullet slides past the hair on the back of his head—he’s taken off his hat after all, though that would not have been much of a barrier—and past the skin and the muscle. It smashes into one of the cranial bones that until now, has kept the vicious mind of the King of the Barrel safe to pursue power and family and wealth. No longer, though: a small circle from the calcium, phosphorus, sodium and collagen case turns into shrapnel. Left behind is a hole.

The bullet travels through the brain at a speed faster than the one at which tissues tear. Connective bits and fibrous membranes, cerebrospinal fluid, neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, unmyelinated axons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, synapses, and capillaries… everything is pushed out of the way, stretching the tender connections that make Pekka Rollins who he is far beyond their breaking points. In the wake of the bullet remains a long cavity: but it doesn’t take long until everything snaps back into the hole, knocking together and finding new arrangements, filling the chasm without any gap and yet: without any life.

There is a wound in the forehead of the sack of meat that used to house the dreams and ambitions and cruelties of Pekka Rollins, but it’s not an exit. The bullet, by this point, lacked the velocity with which to free itself, and only knocked loose a piece of bone from the scalp. So it goes.

It goes like this: Kaz Rietveld has seen the men who tend to the Reaper’s Barge. They come and go, every day, sometimes twice. They patrol. They shout. The bodymen, the stadwatch—he knows to watch for them. Jordie told him to duck down and hide, when they’re coming, because no-one is allowed to be outside. That’s just another one of those rules no-one believes in, because of course everyone is still outside, except for those who don’t have to, and Kaz and Jordie could have belonged to that group except the money’s gone. The money’s gone, and Jordie told him to hide from the bodymen.

Kaz tried. He doesn’t know how he ended up here. He was so hot and he went to sleep, and now he’s here with the bodymen. They’re inspecting his face, pushing it up with their hands—they wouldn’t, the plague’s infectious—they’re pushing his face up and they look at him and they put him onto the barge.

They pushed his face up. They should have seen. “I’m not dead,” Kaz tries to protest, but his chest is so tight only a wheeze gets out. “I’m not dead.”

No-one reacts. Maybe Kaz only imagined moving his lips. Maybe he can’t anymore. Maybe they’re right.

The ground doesn’t move but suddenly he’s up on the Barge, still kneeling. Still not dead, he tries to say, “Not dead, please don’t burn me, Papa, Jordie, please, help,” but no-one comes. No-one reacts, except for the woman next to him. Putrid fluid leaks from her nostrils and mouth, dripping, dripping onto her neck. Her stomach’s bloated. Something moves inside her. Kaz tries to crawl away with his not-dead legs and his wheezing empty lungs and his foot hits her arm and the skin slips and sloughs—no, that’s fabric—and he’s looking straight ahead at Jordie’s rigid dead grin, at Jordie with his tongue lolling out who begs, “Kaz, boss, tell me what—” and he’s in the water half-trying to climb onto Jordie’s rigid grinning body and the skin of his back sloughs off and, “Kaz, you’re safe, you’re safe,” Jordie says, “you’re safe, you’re safe, you’re safe.”

It goes like this: Inej would have asked Jesper, but she couldn’t find him anywhere. Not at any of the tables in the Crow Club, and not losing his money anywhere else in the Barrel, either. She’d have asked Jesper, but even with his help… she would have been kidding herself. Murder is murder. Freedom is freedom. The small lodging house room is exactly where Tante Heleen told her it would be. The man is inside, like Tante Heleen said. There is no proof the man is what Tante Heleen said he was, and he invokes the Saints, but freedom is freedom. This city was always going to take everything: and righteousness is just one more thing to lose. She didn’t lose all her self-regard in the Menagerie: but she will have to give it up, now, to escape. There’s no-one to stop her. So it goes.

It goes like this: there are three corpses inside Kaz’ office. None of them are Kaz, though, which is the only thing that Jesper cares about. The boss isn’t doing well. Jesper’s kneeling right in front of him, half atop one of the corpses—the one who seemed to be the one actively torturing, and when Jesper got through the door and saw Kaz on his knees crying and begging he thought—well, Saints willing he’ll never have to say it out loud, it’s bad enough that Inej—at least there doesn’t seem to be any semen coating—well, anyway, speculating won’t help. Jesper doesn’t actually know what will help. Touching won’t, probably, but Kaz seems so muddled up he could actually lose his balance, so Jesper’s holding out both of his hands at a safe distance from Kaz’ shoulders so he can cushion a possible fall while he reassures him, over and over, “You’re safe now, boss.” Kaz can tear him a new asshole for coddling him later.

Fuck, Jesper hopes he will.

It sounds gnarly as all hell, whatever dream he’s stuck in right now. “I’m not dead, Jordie,” he’s pleading. “Jordie, I’m not dead.”

Fuck.

This is so far above Jesper’s pay grade or skill. Above Kaz’ level of trust. Kaz has never mentioned anything about his past, never shared who this ‘Jordie’ is, and now he’s freaking out and all Jesper can do is tell him, “Yeah boss, you aren’t dead, you’re safe, you’re safe, you’re Kaz fucking Brekker.”

“Don’t burn me.”

Fuck.

Jesper’s totally hoarse and not really paying attention to anything but the slight wobbling of Kaz’ shoulders—though not so much Jesper has to brace him, thank fuck—and so he almost flinches out of his skin when the Jordies turn into a tiny “Jes?”

“Boss? No-one’s been in here but me, you’re fine, you’re fine,” Jesper babbles, and Kaz has to glare at Jesper’s hands before he pulls them away, so Kaz can lean sideways against his desk.

Kaz takes a few deep gulps of air before he rasps, voice hoarser than usual, “Where’s Pekka Rollins?”

“Uh…” Jesper glances at the corpse behind him—one of Pekka’s guys—and then down at the carcass he’s sitting on. Bingo. He points down with both index fingers.

“You shot Pekka Rollins, Jesper.”

“In my defence, I only saw the back of the head of a man who was menacing you?”

“You shot Pekka.” Kaz drags a hand through his floppy hair. “You shot the leader of the Dime Lions. The King of the Barrel. You shot him.”

“We were planning on killing him eventually, right, boss?”

Kaz massages his forehead. Probably signalling to Jesper, your ignorance is giving me a headache. He pulls himself upright using the desk, while Jesper carefully doesn’t watch him. He searches for Kaz’ cane instead, even though he’s probably still too rattled to walk around. That’s something Kaz won’t admit, and so Jesper just happens to push a chair in position behind Kaz before he passes over the cane.

A glare is all the thanks he gets, but Kaz does sit down.

“We’re nixing the Dreesen job. This mess you got us into is much, much bigger,” Kaz rasps. “We’ve got a chance to take a big bite out of Dime Lions’ territory before they notice their boss is dead. Get in early for the brutal turf war that’s coming. Go get some men. You need to bring these bodies to the Reaper’s Barge. Quietly.”

Jesper nods sharply and picks his guns up before he walks out of the door.

There’s nothing he wants more than asking Kaz who Jordie is, where he went just now, what happened, and maybe Kaz would have still been jumbled enough to tell him, but. Jesper just killed the King of the Barrel.

Ketterdam’s underworld is going to erupt in the bloodiest war for Rollins’ succession any second now, and if Jesper wants Kaz and Inej and himself and the other Dregs to make it through alive—and there’s nothing he wants more—he has to let Kaz rebuild his shell. His armour. Maybe Kaz will tell him about Jordie, or maybe he won’t, but either way: it’s Jesper’s job to keep him safe. Whatever the cost. So it goes.

It goes like this: Dreesen waits impatiently for three days. Neither the Dime Lions nor the Dregs return to his mansion, and the Razorgulls don’t respond to his note, either. The Liddies do, but have no way of traversing the Fold: and so, disgruntled, Dreesen takes their offer, unaware they’re sending five of their least reliable members. The rest—and Dreesen will never find out, because he dies before the battles truly flare up—the rest are needed for the hot war Ketterdam’s gangs fight for the weakened Dime Lions’ territory. A million kruge is nothing compared to control over the Kerch crown jewel of crime, not that five more Liddies would have averted their gang's fate.

The five Liddies in question don’t make it to the Little Palace. When they arrive in Novokribirsk, the city is in ruins. The heartless expansion of the Fold is enough to shock petty Ketterdam criminals, and when Aafje and her crew meet a woman in a blue kefta who seems to know what she’s doing, they offer their help.

Alina Starkov still escapes the Little Palace during the Winter Fete.

Life goes on.

___________

Stefan Salvatore arrived late at the Ball and looked now for his brother and his sister-in-law. Coming from the hallway, Rebekah now stumbled upon him and stood in front of him like he was a being out of space.

"Hello-how are you? Rebekah Mikaelson?"-Stefan said. "Yes. That's me. Oh, Dr Salvatore-"

"Stefan. Just call me Stefan"- he said.

"Right, Stefan"- Rebekah said and quickly switched back to the hostess mode-"If you are looking for your brother, well, they are with Mrs Lockwood- she wants to get one of them interested in one of the projects."

"Thank you"- Stefan said-"I hope you will have time to spare a dance later?"

This was not something Rebekah had expected. The way he said it was warm and sweet.

"I will- spare a dance?!"- she said somewhat clumsily. It was rare that someone shook her to the core in just a second. She had met him that once as she went to visit Y/NE with Elijah. She looked him disappear in the crowd smiling.

Y/N/E and Elijah mixed with many acquintences, who they knew through work and Elena's art circle. Nearly all of them were happy seeing Y/N/E well, but to Y/N/E, it all seemed false. She had, nevertheless found everything quite enlightening. One thing was sure, and it was her enjoying dancing even though it was quite elaborate in the gown she was wearing. "I can't imagine having to wear this kind of clothes every day"- she said to Caroline as they sat down for a little break as Mrs Lockwood presented the good work their organization had done in the previous year, as well as the projects to come.

"The corset is killing me"- Caroline admitted.

Both women laughed a little.

"When I said to my colleagues that it is not just a Ball, I didn't believe them. I organized parties- but this is another level "- Caroline said. "I guess, it's Rebekah. What I found out about her, nothing is done half-way."- Y/N/E said. "Well, I get that now. Explains Klaus so much"- Caroline added looking at Klaus who was conversing with one of his clients.

Y/N/E noticed Caroline's dreamy look and said- "It's like they have this magic that compels you straight away" "Ha?"- Caroline turned to Y/N/E getting out of her momentary daze. "The way you looked at Klaus just now. Something draws you to him and you can't help yourself. I remember when they told me about Elijah when I got out of my coma, about who he was to me, and when I saw him- this man is my husband-really? Even though I didn't quite understand straight away what it meant. And everyday, I was looking forward to seeing him."

"I just know him for a few weeks, and, yeah, there is something magical"- Caroline admitted-"but at the same time feels like -wow-isn't all this a bit too fast- I don't want to get burnt. I got burnt before, not once- I went too fast in with my heart"

"Love is about the heart though"- Y/N/E said.

Caroline looked at Y/N/E and then at Klaus who was now coming their way. Whatever it will be she would at least have fun this evening and let her heart aside for the moment.

Everyone was asked to find their partners as another set of dancing would commence.

Stefan now found Rebekah politely holding his hand out for the dance. She silently took it and they walked towards the dance floor. Her heart flattering as they swayed to the song.                          

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light You come to me out of my dreams across the night

Caroline avoided Klaus' gaze as if making sure she would not fall under his spell. Klaus, on the other hand sucumbed to her charms letting himself be bewitched.

Sophie found Kol on the terrace. He looked completely shattered. The Ball was another dark reminder of everything that was haunting him. Sophie brushed his cheek lightly with her hand. He looked at her with eyes clearly showing despair. "I love you and everything will be right again"- she reasurred him. "I don't deserve you"- Kol said-"I don't know what you see. I am such a screw up"

"You have a good heart even though it gets lost from time to time"- Sophie said.

Kol now embraced his firmly wife kissing her on the head.

And Y/N/E and Elijah were sitting this one out as Y/N/E felt a bit faint as they walked to the dance area. Elijah urged them to leave, but Y/N/E said that it wasn't that bad. She was even checked by Bonnie and she said that her blood pressure was slightly high, but there was nothing alarming.

"Please go dance. I am fine. I will take my medicine and I will be ok."- Y/N/E said to Bonnie.

"But if this persist and you continue to feel faint- you will need to go to the nearest ER"- Bonnie said.

"I think we should go"- Elijah said.

"No. It is nothing. Please, don't fuss. I am having a great time."- Y/N/E said-"I just felt slightly dizzy. I was like this the other day and then I was fine, and nothing happened. Even at the check-up they said this could happen and I was to sit it out."

She took Elijah's hand and then said-"I love this song. It is a bit ott but - it just made me feel like - how about we renew our vows"

He was stunned at this comment.

"For always"- Y/N/E said as she listened to the refrain.

"What brought this on?"- Elijah now said.

"Everything"- Y/N/E said.

"What-? Do you remember?"-

"A moment ago - I had this glimpse- when I spoke to Caroline-"

"A glimpse?"-Elijah was happy.

"I am not sure- maybe I have imagined it- but we are at the gazebo - I have a blue flower in my hair"

Since they had no photos and Elijah didn't detail all of what she wore that day.

"It was not a flower"- Elijah said-"I don't know what it really was - but it was blue. You had to have something blue- OMG- you remembered something!"-

"I did- I want to go down to Mystic Falls. I need to see this place. Dr Salvatore's exercises helped!"- Y/N/E was happy.

It was a great breakthrough. They both revelled in it. Finally, things were moving in the right direction.

Elijah leaned over to her and gave her a little peck-"And I like this thing with renewing our vows"- he said-"for always"

Mikael came up to them apologizing for the interuption, but he needed Elijah's assistance on a business matter. And as a financial adviser Elijah was the man he would trust. Reluctuntly, Elijah agreed and left with his father, but not before he made certain Y/N/E was ok with it.

"Sure. There, Sophie will watch over me, not that I need watching"- Y/N/E said.

Sophie asked what it was about, but Y/N/E didn't want to go on about it and asked why she was not dancing. "Kol is not much of a dancer"- Sophie replied. And then their conversation focused on Rebekah and the fact that she was having a great time with Srefan. "I think he could be the one"- Y/N/E said.

"Really- why do you thibk so?"- Sophie continued.

"He is pretty calm and Rebekah is boisterous- but that's maybe a crazy observation"- Y/N/E then said-"even though they all wear masks- somehow they can't hide the twinkle in their eyes."

"Yeah- "- Sophie said pensively.

Y/N/E drew a long breath and then stood up telling Sophie she was going to the bathroom. Sophie offered to accompany her but Y/N/E said that she didn't need to be chaperoned. She felt she needed some fresh air and went to the terrace.

She got to the edge and gazed into the bright city lights listening to the constant buzz of the traffic.

"This is where you are hiding?!"- a man behind her said taking his mask off.

Y/N/E turned around and recognizing the man from the photo Vicky showed her said-"Mason?"

"Yeah-"- Mason said-"You look good as ever. I am glad you're better."

"Not completely, but I'm getting there. Wish I can turn back time"-Y/N/E said.

"Oh, yeah-I wish we can turn back time"- Mason now took a step towards her and Y/N/E stepped back, but Mason now pulled her swiftly to him and kissed her. She pushed him away looking at him astound-

"What are you doing??"

"Come on-you always had time for me, married or not"- Mason shot back.

"What??"- Y/N/E said in panic-"Not true"

"Don't give me that"- Mason continued-"you were such free person- look what the Mikaelsons have done to you-"

"Done to me? You are mad. I am not listening to this"- Y/N/E now tried to rush away from the man, but got caught up in the gown and nearly fell.

"Run to the people who killed your brother and covered it up"- Mason spat in anger

Y/N/E turned around and stepped forward to him and slapped him.

"Yeah-slap me. They are the once needing a kick in the guts. They are masters of manipulating everything and everyone."

"Kol did not kill my brother!!"- Y/N/E shouted back.

"That's what yhey wanted you to think, but I have proof!"-

"What proof?"

"That he is still involved with the drugs and making deals tonight at this very Ball!"- Mason shot back at her.

"You're pathetic! Vicky told me about you. This is because I went to marry Elijah?!"

"Please-Maybe this will open your eyes about them"- Mason now took his phone out showing her a video of Kol offering a deal to one of very respectable business man.

"This is not true"- Y/N/E muttered-"this not true"- now holding her head with her hands feeling it pulsating as if it was to explode any minute.

The only thing she could hear was Mason saying -"This is very true. This is what the Mikaelsons are like" and seeing Elijah appearing heading straight for Mason punching him before she fell down blacking out.

___👔

Y/N/E's flashback

"Where is the money?"- shouted at Y/N/E as the other one grabbed hold of her with his arm around her neck.

"Take what you want. Here's my bag. Just don't hurt me please"- Y/N/E gasped looking horrified but thinking how she would kick the goon off. So she tried stomping with her heal on his foot and he screamed and Y/N/E thought she got free, but the other one got hold of her and now kicked her in the stomach. Y/N/E fell on the floor gasping for breath. He got hold of her hair now pulling it.

"This is not a game. We don't want your few bucks. Jeremy Gilbert double crossed us! So where is the money? And don't tell me you don't know. You were tight. You look after him. We know that! SO TALK!"

"I really don't know. Please-"

The man was getting really angry and now slapped her across the face as he pulled her up to sit down.

"Talk! That scum played us all". He slapped her again. Blood was now running out of her nose and mouth.

"I don't know-"- Y/N/E murmurred-

That only angered the man and now he punched her hard.

"That is what I remember"- Y/N/E said looking into nothing as Elijah held her hand wishing so hard this was not the memory that would float out first.

"I am sorry"- he said gently as he now put her hand on her chin making her head turn to face him. There was a numb look in her eyes and she then muttered-"I had a surprise for you that night"

Elijah thought her heart would explode as his knew she was going to mention the baby.

"I did a test that afternoon. I was pregnant"- she continued in her numb state.

Tears now streamed down his face and as he wiped them off with his palms he nodded-

"They told me. There was nothing they could do to save it"

The ER felt as cold as a tomb. There were people, doctors, nurses buzzing around, but the of them felt like the whole place emptied.

Rebekah who stood not far from the examination area, stood silent witnessing all that Y/N/E had said, cried as well. Klaus walked in putting his hands on his sister's shoulder nudged her a little to get ouy of there. "He needs me"- Rebekah said making Klaus move her arm off of her now-" I have gone through it with Elijah once before".

"They need all of us now"-Klaus said-"go and wash your face. Then find Kol. I don't know where both Sophie and him are not answering any of my calls. Can you do it?"

Rebekah nodded.

"Good. I have sorted things out with mother and father."- Klaus informed her.

"I should have known that Mason Lockwood would stir up shit"- Rebekah said.

"You know the Lockwoods. Arch enemies never sleep."- Klaus said.

"Caroline?"- Rebekah then asked.

"She left."- Klaus said shortly. It was clear that this was one subject he didn't want to discuss further.

Rebekah now took her phone and dialled Sophie. Klaus went into the examination area.

×👔××

Elsewhere, Kol went away from the Ball oblivious to Mason's clash with Elijah, sending a message to Sophie that he needed to slip away.

And Sophie left shortly after the message being a  nervous wreck eversince she found out he was doing the undercover job.

At home, she listened to all voice mails Klaus and Rebekah sent. Her heart was in turmoil, but she swore she would keep quite till it all ends.

She took her phone and sighed as she now pressed Rebekah's name on speedial.

"Yeah, Bex- huh, sorry- no. Kol is not here. I am home. We got -  we argued and he stormed out. He had one of his crazy moments. How is Y/N/E?"

"Why - what happened?"- Rebekah now mellowed a bit as previously she was not so pleasant as she picked up her phone.

"You know that he gets into this mood - after the prison. I deal didn't go the way he wanted- so I tried to calm him down and he just blew"- Sophie continued with the pretence.

Flashback A few hours before the Ball

"You have to keep your cool"- Kol said to Sophie kissing her on the forehead-"Rebekah had already picked up that you are not your happy self. She's been asking me questions if things are not r8ght with us. They can't know anything. She will tell Elijah, Klaus, too- and he would get involved and things could fold. I have to make things right."

" I hate all this lying. Rebekah is my best friend"- Sophie said.

"I shouldn't have told you either, but you are my strength and I just wouldn't be able to go through with it otherwise"- Kol said.

Sophie nodded in acknowledgement.

Rebekah and her soon finished the conversation. It was now about finding Kol. And he was i meeting the suppliers.

The FBI Agent, who picked up what went off with Mason and Y/N/E just before Elijah got to the terrace, managed to do some damage control, and took Mason away acting as a guy who just happened to be there to break up the fight between Elijah and Mason.

And so, all was just a brawl beteeen ywo men over a woman.

But Y/N/E had told Elijah about Mason showing her the footage about Kol's drug deal. And telling her that the Mikaelsons killed her brother- seeing Elijah punch Mason and the blood coming out of his nose- all of it brought her to the breaking point that was like a dark key unlocking her memory of the attack on her and everything else just stormed out. Although not completely. It left them shattered like a mirror smashed into pieces.

Y/N/E was released from the hospital after she was checked by Meredith and Stefan. Elijah took her home.

Both Klaus and Rebekah followed them. They didn't let Elijah alone, even though he reassured them he could manage. But Rebekah was not letting it be.

Klaus and Rebekah went to the kitchen as Elijah helped Y/N/E to bed. The siblings now discussed Kol and Sophie’s supposed fall out.

"She has been so edgy lately"- Rebekah remarked-"if they wete having problems why wouldn't she talk to me?"

"It's their marital stuff"- Klaus said-"maybe she thought you wouldn't get it"

"Seriously? We've always talked about Kol, even when they were dating. All the stuff they went through while he was on trial- please- there is somethung really odd going on here"- Rebekah then said.

Klaus took some beer out of the fridge and handed it over to her. "I need something stronger"- Rebekah said.

Elijah then appeared and they inquired how Y/N/E was doing.

"She’s asleep"- Elijah said  and added-"I need to talk to you two" It sounded ominous-

"Right"- Rebekah said-"but first- whiskey! I need it. This so doesn't sound good"

She went in the living room to the liquor cabinet.

"What is it?"- Klaus asked.

Elijah took the whiskey glasses from the cupboard and put ice in them saying-"It's Kol"

Rebekah walked back with the bottle and poured them a drink each-"What is with Kol?"- she slipped.

Elijah took a good sip of the drink before he told them that Mason was accusing Kol of dealing drugs.

"WHAT?"- both Klaus and Rebekah said simultaniously.

"Yeah"- Elijah confirmed taking another sip of the drink.

"Mason Lockwood would say anything -he hates us. You especially."- Rebekah said.

"Maybe-"-Klaus said, which made Elijah and Rebekah looking stunned at their brother.

"Do you know something?"- Elijah looked at Klaus infuriating.

"No!"- Klaus replied-"but- it makes me think. A few times he would get these calls and it would make him go all serious and he always walked away like he was hiding something- I don't know"

"Sophie and him had a bust up tonight."- Rebekah added.

"Now-well, she either knows or suspects - the puzzles fit the picture"- Klaus said.

"OMG! Please no!"- Rebekah said-"but why? He swore on Davina's grave he would never do it again. We were there!"

"It's Kol"- Elijah said-"it's like the devil gets inside of him and he loses it. You never know when he is going to flip. "

His siblings could not dispute that. As a boy, Kol was very mischiveous. As a teenager, very problematic, getting involved with drugs and very shady people. All through the college years until his girlfriend Davina O.D.ed That threw him. It was a wake up call and he stopped. Cut all his ties. Then met Sophie and hope of love, new life came in giving him the will to leave the past behind. And as Elijah started dating Y/N/E, he met Jeremy, who was no different from him as he got involved with the drug demons. Several times he looked out for Jeremy on his own accord. Same as the night before Jeremy was shot dead.

"When he gets home- and he will-I will go and confront him"- Klaus said.

" Oh, no. I want to be there"- Elijah said-"I want to see it in his eyes when he denies the truth!"

"You are way too pissed off and hurt and - to go there"- Rebekah shot at Elijah.

"This could cost me everything. My marriage- my life. I have already lost a child! My wife was more than a year in a vegetative state!"- Elijah burst out angrily.

"But that was not Kol's doing"- Klaus then said and Rebekah now stood up as she saw Elijah seeing red and on the verge of lashing out on his brother and her gown got caught up falling down awkwardly twisting her hand in the process.

It felt like that night had no ending. Subsequently Klaus then took her to the ER where it was concluded that she had a sprain.

Elijah, who stayed behind, received the message sitting on the balcony with the nearly empty bottle of whiskey lighting another cigarette as the sun appeared on the horizon.

×××××😘😘😘 Later that day

Y/N/E woke up feeling as if her whole body was bruised. She turned around and looked at Elijah's side of the bed. It was not slept in. And as if she was a robot she walked to the bathroom. There, she washed her face and as she wiped it of she looked at herself in the mirror. Almost all her memories were back. She had her life back, but she was not rejoicing. She sighed a little putting the towel away and now went on to brush her teeth. She heard her phone ringing, but she ignored it. She could not stand talking to anyone. When she finished freshening up, she went to look for Elijah, finding him on the balcony asleep. She saw the empty bottle and ashtray nearly full of cigarettes.

Y/N/E's flashback First few months after the wedding

"Are you hiding up here to smoke?"- Elena jokes as Elijah lit a cigarette.

"Just one"- Elijah said.

"I thought you're  a man of great will and character and you said you had beat this monster!"- Y/N/E stood there scolding him for still sneaking around to smoke.

"Ok, warden! Here done!"- Elijah put the cigarette down.

"I married you knowing all your demons and darkness- but- still- I know I am not perfect either-"

He interrupted her there enveloping her in his arms-"Oh, you're perfect. The rarest of flowers. My rarest flower of all and I can see that your nose is smelling my bad cigarette breath and not liking it"

"Well, I want to kiss you, but - huh- the cigarette taste- no- sorry. I'd rather kiss a frog"

"Ok, let me turn into one quickly. Stay here. I'll be right back" ***

Y/N/E now kissed him on the top of the forehead that made him move nearly jumping up.

"Y/N/E- is everythina all right?"

"Yes"- Y/N/E replied and then took the bottle and the ashtray away. He followed her apologizing for having drank too much as well as smoking.

Y/N/E didn't say anything and said that she was going to make coffee.

As she trailed away to the kitchen he stayed standing in the hallway wishing he had a magic wand and go back in time.

The breakfast went in silence. Y/N/E was absent-minded and he later wrote to Rebekah-

"I don't what is worse- her being locked up now with all her memories back or then when she couldn't remember anything"

"I think it is the loss of the baby that hit her hard. She so wanted to have baby"- Rebekah replied-"You got to talk to one another. What does her therapist say, come on. You two are what true love is about"

In the therapy session, Y/N/E revealed that she felt lost, that something was ripped inside of her, that she was not feeling herself anymore. That she wanted to curl up and sleep forever.

And then a few days after she came to a decision she now laid down to Elijah at breakfast.

"I got to go"

"Go? Where? Ok. Do you want to take time away from everything and go to the Hamptons? It's ok. Being away would do us good"- Elijah said.

"No. I need to go away on my own- I just- inside of me I have this knot here in my chest and - all rreminds me of that night- all the time"

Elijah felt like someone had kicked him in the gut really hard.

"On your own?"- he paused taking her hands in his and then continued-"we said we would weather any storm together, remember? Always!"

Y/N/E's eyes watered-"Yes, I remember"- and she kissed him and looked him straight in the eyes-"I need to find myself again, so I can come back to you"

"I don't understand this logic. I - just got you back. I love you"

"I love you, too- I do, but I need to- I just need to get away from here. I just have to. But we will talk every day. Elijah - I just need to- I everything is-"

"Where would you go?"

"I called Vicky. She is taking time off and I asked her if I could stay in her house "

It was done. She went to Bodega, California. And before she got into the taxi taking her to the airport she gave him a hug whispering-"Love you- Always!"

Immersion Pods 1 - Advanced Galactic Extraterrestrial Technology - Anéeka of Temmer (Taygeta - Pleiades)

Author: Cosmic Agency, Gosia

Yazhi: The immersion subject encompasses precise information. It is advanced, or among the most advanced subjects you've given. And it connects with countless other subjects already published. Mechanics of manifestation, printing with the tractor beam, stellar mapping, abductions, incarnations, life after death, 3D Matrix, false people. All converge into this subject backing it up with complex and complete information that supports what was said in all the previous ones. Robert: What branches of science go into immersion technology? And to what degree is consciousness involved? Anéeka: The science used there is holographic computing. But immersions are used for countless purposes, be it from entertainment, communications, teleconferences, simulation of hypothetical scenarios, reconstruction of scenarios of real events, training of all kinds, such as pilots, even professional training such as welding, or art. Therapeutic uses as treatments against post traumatic disorder, overcoming phobias. As for work immersions, the consciousness of a person can be moved by diverting it from her body to another, while the original falls asleep in suspension, where the subject uses an avatar of any kind, as if it were her body. 1.) Only as entertainment since that avatar only exists inside the computer. 2.) Real avatar as the use or management of an empty biological clone previously built and tuned in, in terms of its frequencies, to the subject in question. Frequency synchronization Every person has their own frequency that is the thread of their thoughts, what the person is like, and what they have accumulated over time in their life and in previous lives. Everything is electromagnetic energy. In the case of a biological organism, it is what they call subtle energy, but in itself it is only a very high frequency and compared to what a generator or an electric motor emits (let's not say a plasma turbine) it is very big and strong.
So, it is not that they are "subtle" energies but that they are simply in another frequency or group of higher frequencies. The biological or soul energy is not that weak either, on the contrary, it transcends the range of influence even of large generators, it is of high frequency. This is a common misinterpretation. As for the physical-material body, it is made up of a complex neural network in constant evolution and formation, change. How neurons are connected, their groups that they form, and which of them fire and at what moment, under what conditions, generates its own energy field because neurons are electrical, they create an electro-chemical de-polarization based on complex groups and types of neurotransmitter substances, that modulate the amount and type of electrical discharge that affects the next neuron and this one the next, thus forming a chain reaction that explains the transmission of a stimulus through either the brain or a nerve network in the body. How neurons connect, how one neuron is receptive to the stimulus of another, is a chemical-electrical mechanism where the neuron displaces an electrical charge from the mitochondria in the nucleus through the axon towards the dendrites where neurotransmitters are released that will be interpreted by the receptors in the next neuron and that will react to the stimulus with another electrical discharge. The energetic dynamics between neurons, we speak of millions of neurons communicating with each other bio-chemically, generates a resulting electromagnetic frequency that is specific to that individual. Not only is it a specific frequency, but since neurons are varying all the time, creating new networks and contacts with each other, they also alter the resulting frequency of the physical body, which creates a specific temporal frequency, that is, at a specific point in space-time said physical body maintains or maintained a very exact and specific frequency. It is an energetic location - address. So a computer with immersion technology can emulate the corresponding total or partial signal of a brain of a specific person, or even of a group of specific neurons, let's say those of the visual or auditory cortex, thus giving a mind-computer interface of maximum efficiency. In other words, the computer can give any individual an audio-visual or even tactile or olfactory stimulus. This is used in music for example where the computer can make an individual listen to music directly inside the brain, with nothing auditory outside, without external speakers. The same happens with communication technologies based on the transfer of images directly to the brain of a person who can see them as if it were with his eyes. This kind of technology, already used in the real world, is used in Taygeta and other civilizations as instruments of therapy or replacement in case of deafness or blindness of an individual. This more than anything while said individual goes into repair by immersion in a medical pod. These kinds of technologies have virtually unlimited uses. Another way is the use of computer-mind video images of a pilot where it allows him to see in all directions a full 360 ° sphere, around his fighter craft. Giving him an advantage over less technologically advanced opponents and this in support of other systems on the same ship. It is also worth mentioning the audio application for computer-mind messages for general communications. Where the person only has to think the instructions they want to give the computer and it will read their mind automatically. This is artificial telepathy. For entertainment use in terms of immersions, the total stimulation of the senses of an individual is used where a sequence is printed that the mind of the person will interpret as an experience. In other words, a specific group of neurons will have their exact depolarization sequence and very specific electrochemical dynamics for each specific stimulus. For example, each note, Do, Re, Mi, Fa... creates a precise electrical-energy discharge in the brain at a specific neural center. So by imposing a matching frequency on it by the computer, it will create the same neural stimulus that it would receive if it listened to the real Do, Re, E keys of a piano, for example. Each group of neurons has its energetic localization specific to each person-individual, unrepeatable and unique. So the computer sends signals in an exact sequence where they cause a desired stimulus in a specific sequence and with an exact combination that will create together an audiovisual experience, and of all the senses that will be equivalent in terms of experience to a real event. You can create and send the signal directly to the brain energetically re-created, a scene of walking on the beach listening to the sea, with the smell of the sea, the breeze, the sensation of the sand between your toes, and for the brain it will be indistinguishable from a real experience. This in itself is the basis for any type of immersion, for whatever purpose. The combinations and uses for this technology are endless and constantly evolving. Gosia: Wow Anéeka, much more than I imagined! I have many questions now. Anéeka: I know this doesn´t exist there, but it's common here. It is used every day. The subject is very big, but I can give it all. Gosia: Yes... I would like to deepen the very 3D immersion mechanics. In fact, I would form the question like this: You have explained the function of immersions in general, but for people who don't know yet, this technology is also applied to "enter" the terrestrial experience, right? There are many starseeds that are in 3D and who have entered with this technology. They look and feel human, but they are really projecting from their immersion cameras. Could you explain how exactly this is done? Step by step. Anéeka: Yes. Although all immersions including those are based on the same principle described above. Detection by means of highly sensitive interferometers that map the individual's brain and determine which frequency signals are necessary to create the desired stimuli that will create the experience. Each group of neurons will have an energetic frequency identical to a frequency star map. It is the same as with a spaceship in hyper space. There are no distances, only energetic localizations in a field that is ether. So a concordant signal passed through hyperspace with transmission technology by muons can pass the signal from the computer of the immersion pod in Tol'ka city in Temmer to any place in the Universe equally. Energetically the pod signal is sent by continuous muons and it will only affect a brain that is concordant with the signal no matter where it is. In other words, from the point of view of these muon-gravitational signals, there are no distances and it does not matter if a person is in the immersion right by the a pod or 440 light years away. As it does not matter for a ship to jump from any point in the known and mapped Universe, to another. I hope I have answered the question. I must go step by step describing the hardware as well. Nothing is transmitted by radio or microwave, but by Muon-Gravity signals. Something to clarify. 3D artificial Matrix concept. It is still correct but not like it is something that is unique in being false. In other words, everything is a Matrix. Everything that is a mental creation called the material world. Of whatever density. See the 3D just as something that is very notoriously material and dubiously spiritual. And as we go up in densities, everything becomes more energy, so everything materializes faster. But the material part is getting diluted, what we would call the Matrix, and progressively becoming more and more potential energy and that is consciousness. In other words, from a solid material world, the solid matter gradually dilutes towards only energy-consciousness as we go up into to higher densities. So everything is Matrix. Everything obeys the same reasons for existing, the same formation or manifestation of a consciousness. What happens in 3D specifically is that that very specific range of frequencies that are on Earth or that make up the Earth are very controlled with what you would call very high technology. Very advanced. So for example, as I said 3 years ago... I can insert a building. How? Because we can create matter from energy. Because as we have explained before, civilizations here on our part are classified in 3 main ways (there are more, but it would be another subject). 1.) Civilizations that are capable of drawing energy from matter in a nuclear way (atomic energy as on Earth). 2.) Civilizations that can draw energy from matter (nuclear energy) and in addition to that can take energy and turn it into matter (like Taygeta). 3.) Pre-industrial or primitive civilizations that cannot do either of those two things. Point number two is extremely important since drawing energy out of matter is relatively easy. Generating matter from energy is extremely complex and requires the conjunction of many sciences and knowledge together, such as the application of computers with gigantic capacities compared to those of the Earth, and the creation of machines capable of printing an energy matrix from the instructions given by that powerful computer. To achieve this, the knowledge is vast and very advanced. So the fact that we can control what happens on Earth as a video game only indicates that we technologically control that area. Apart from that, the rest of the Universe is also subject to the same principles of the Energy Matrix. So everything is a numbers matrix. It can even be represented digitally as with computers on Earth and this is also the case with lunar computers, as I said 3 years ago, they are digital. Everything is an energetic localization, all matter that exists has a value in gravity and gravity is an attention or flow of creative attention that prints a point of formation or concentration of energy until it forms something precise and recognizable as hard matter. But everything is frequencies, and everything is energy, synchronized and ordered with extreme precision and extreme complexity. Accuracy dictated by the harmonics of a frequency. And this can be represented with numerical values. These numerical values ​​are the Matrix. By altering the numerical values ​​that represent energetic dynamics, you modify the tangible or material reality. That's why we call it the Matrix. But there is more Matrix here in 5D, which is illusory because there are no densities as Yázhi already explained. It is only a way of understanding the unintelligible. So it doesn't matter where we are, here or on Earth. Energetic rules will change but it remains essentially the same: an energetic and numerical Matrix. So the only difference with the Earth is that the energy matrix that composes it is artificially controlled. Returning to immersions. It means that you can immerse yourself into virtually any part, whatever the density, whatever location in the Universe. It does not matter. Just that in this topic we apply it, or we apply the terms "immersion" only to the Earth, but it happens everywhere and on all advanced planets, a degree of advancement that already manipulates and creates matter from energy. Answering the question you had Gosia from another day: which brains are prepared for the immersion, the 3D ones before connecting the 5D person, or if such brains, 3D people, are made in the moment, if they are artificially created... Both. A person can be created by printing only the energetic and dynamic matrix of frequencies, their harmonics, directly with a computer, as if it were a lamp post (definition of false empty Matrix people without a soul, by the way) Or you can take a person that has been created, what we would call "naturally", only from creative consciousness, from the Source, but the result is the same. It is a physical person, a body with its organs inside indistinguishable from others. It should be mentioned that not only people, buildings, poles, trees can and are created in an elaborate way from a high-power holographic computer, but also the complex dynamics that a complex sequence of events would represent there. This technology has been described in detail by Swaruu before. So the signal goes from the immersion chamber or immersion pod to the receiver that has the harmonic energy dynamics that correspond to the frequency of the signal emitted by the pod. This signal comes or is read from neuronal activity and its electro-chemical-magnetic dynamics that interferometer-type sensors detect, which are not so different from those used to guide spacecraft. In other words, this device reads and makes a precise map of all the electro-chemical-magnetic movements that occur within a brain and transmits it to another receiving brain. The original brain in itself is another receiver that decodes and interprets the signal from the individual's soul. As we have said before, a soul is not in a body, but works through a body. The immersion pod detects brain waves and electro-chemical-magnetic dynamics and re-transmits them through muon-gravity transmission technology to another brain that is ready to receive the signal. At the same time, the pod puts the original body in stasis or suspended animation and isolates, with precise stimuli at points in the brain, the information coming from its senses. In other words, the original body only remains as a container for an 'original' brain that connects with the Source and diverts the electro-chemical-magnetic-sensory information to another prepared body, where the life experience of that body is transmitted to the original, and from there to the Source. It sounds like a lot of deviation, but it is very direct, the signal is not lost, the connection with the pod is very strong. For this to be achieved, it is necessary to have another avatar body that corresponds in frequencies with that of the original mind, of the soul that will carry it. Either this body is created and inserted into the Matrix to later be "inhabited" by someone else in immersion or a body that has similar but not the same frequencies is taken and it is modified to be able to receive the signal satisfactorily. This modification is what the little grays, the gardeners, do. It is the main reason for the abductions they do all the time. That is why a mother gets prepared herself to be able to maintain a frequency of a new life with a frequency different from her own. That is why adults are abducted, to be able to change their frequency, because of life contracts such as Walk Ins, where a person will only inhabit a body until a certain age or date and then is replaced by another person entirely. This second incoming person or Walk In, as they say in English, will still have access to the memories of the physical body that it inhabits, but it will not be the same person or soul that it was before. He or she won't carry the first person´s karma either. This change usually occurs after or during an event, many times pre-programmed, such as a traumatic experience of the accident type. But not necessarily. Gosia: Thank you. The explanation is very good and complete!

DIY a Rechargeable Copper Zinc Battery

Make a rechargeable zinc copper battery. The cell looks really interesting and is made from base materials which you find in almost any home.

The Article:

In type I, the Zn anode loses two electrons in an acidic solution. The electrons then transfer through the circuit to the copper (Cu) cathode, generating hydrogen gas. Type II is based on the potential difference between separated solutions in contact with either the Cu or zinc (Zn) electrodes and uses a salt bridge to establish the circuit. Both of these battery types are irreversible.

Coming back to seeking out an alternative to lithium batteries, Zn-based batteries have been explored as one of the most compelling substitutes. The advantages are their intrinsic safety, low cost, and high performance. One category of Zn-based batteries is based on the respective redox reactions of a cathode, such as silver, nickel, or cobalt oxides/hydroxides, and a Zn anode. Although significant efforts have been made in this field, the most efficient Zn-based batteries reported in the literature exhibit capacities of less than 400 mAh g-1.

Cu, with a theoretical capacity of 844 mAh g-1 , would be an ideal cathode material, but as previously mentioned, the ability to recharge Cu-Zn batteries has not yet been unlocked.

Yu and her team speculate that this is the case because Cu2+ ions are soluble in acidic and neutral electrolytes, which are conventionally used in Daniell cells. The solution that the researchers present in their current study is therefore based on a simple concept: the use of an alkaline solution to hamper Cu2+ dissolution and promote the copper battery reversibility.

This elegant solution provided Cu clusters with a high specific capacity of 718 mAh g-1. The group aims in overcoming the next challenge for this technology, which is balancing the dissolution of Cu2+ions and the dendrite growth of Zn anode. With such large capacities and the stability of Cu in alkaline solutions, Yu’s presented Cu-Zn batteries have the potential become major players in the rechargeable battery game.

Is the Brain a Useful Model for Artificial Intelligence? – WIRED

In the summer of 2009, the Israeli neuroscientist Henry Markram strode onto the TED stage in Oxford, England, and made an immodest proposal: Within a decade, he said, he and his colleagues would build a complete simulation of the human brain inside a supercomputer. They’d already spent years mapping the cells in the neocortex, the supposed seat of thought and perception. “It’s a bit like going and cataloging a piece of the rain forest,” Markram explained. “How many trees does it have? What shapes are the trees?” Now his team would create a virtual rain forest in silicon, from which they hoped artificial intelligence would organically emerge. If all went well, he quipped, perhaps the simulated brain would give a follow-up TED talk, beamed in by hologram.

Markram’s idea—that we might grasp the nature of biological intelligence by mimicking its forms—was rooted in a long tradition, dating back to the work of the Spanish anatomist and Nobel laureate Santiago Ramón y Cajal. In the late 19th century, Cajal undertook a microscopic study of the brain, which he compared to a forest so dense that “the trunks, branches, and leaves touch everywhere.” By sketching thousands of neurons in exquisite detail, Cajal was able to infer an astonishing amount about how they worked. He saw that they were effectively one-way input-output devices: They received electrochemical messages in treelike structures called dendrites and passed them along through slender tubes called axons, much like “the junctions of electric conductors.”

Cajal’s way of looking at neurons became the lens through which scientists studied brain function. It also inspired major technological advances. In 1943, the psychologist Warren McCulloch and his protégé Walter Pitts, a homeless teenage math prodigy, proposed an elegant framework for how brain cells encode complex thoughts. Each neuron, they theorized, performs a basic logical operation, combining multiple inputs into a single binary output: true or false. These operations, as simple as letters in the alphabet, could be strung together into words, sentences, paragraphs of cognition. McCulloch and Pitts’ model turned out not to describe the brain very well, but it became a key part of the architecture of the first modern computer. Eventually, it evolved into the artificial neural networks now commonly employed in deep learning.

These networks might better be called neural-ish. Like the McCulloch-Pitts neuron, they’re impressionistic portraits of what goes on in the brain. Suppose you’re approached by a yellow Labrador. In order to recognize the dog, your brain must funnel raw data from your retinas through layers of specialized neurons in your cerebral cortex, which pick out the dog’s visual features and assemble the final scene. A deep neural network learns to break down the world similarly. The raw data flows from a large array of neurons through several smaller sets of neurons, each pooling inputs from the previous layer in a way that adds complexity to the overall picture: The first layer finds edges and bright spots, which the next combines into textures, which the next assembles into a snout, and so on, until out pops a Labrador.

Despite these similarities, most artificial neural networks are decidedly un-brainlike, in part because they learn using mathematical tricks that would be difficult, if not impossible, for biological systems to carry out. Yet brains and AI models do share something fundamental in common: Researchers still don’t understand why they work as well as they do.

What computer scientists and neuroscientists are after is a universal theory of intelligence—a set of principles that holds true both in tissue and in silicon. What they have instead is a muddle of details. Eleven years and $1.3 billion after Markram proposed his simulated brain, it has contributed no fundamental insights to the study of intelligence.

Part of the problem is something the writer Lewis Carroll put his finger on more than a century ago. Carroll imagined a nation so obsessed with cartographic detail that it kept expanding the scale of its maps—6 yards to the mile, 100 yards to the mile, and finally a mile to the mile. A map the size of an entire country is impressive, certainly, but what does it teach you? Even if neuroscientists can re-create intelligence by faithfully simulating every molecule in the brain, they won’t have found the underlying principles of cognition. As the physicist Richard Feynman famously asserted, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” To which Markram and his fellow cartographers might add: “And what I can create, I do not necessarily understand.”
