Stevenson falls to Maasai tonight at Mustang Stadium. Glenn Clark with head coach Kathy Rayleigh. Coach, I know at the half you said, look, hey, you know, however things are going, you're proud of your team's effort and how hard that they've worked. I would assume that you don't feel any differently about that at the end of the game. I don't, you know, you go down, whatever, six to one in the first quarter and then, you know, a top 10 team is scoring only six goals over three of the following quarters. How can I be upset at that? You know, we've got the most youth we've had in like probably over a decade out on the field right now and they're playing their hearts out and they're going for stuff and sometimes they're successful, sometimes they're not, but boy, when they're successful, I don't know if you can hear it, probably can't hear it up here, but the whole team just erupts with every tiny victory and that victory could be a good check or a good double team or I'm just, I'm proud of this group and I would have loved to have seen a little more offensive output. Absolutely, you can't win without shooting the ball, right? Tough. And you can't win zero-zero. So great defense aside, we got to get a little bit better in that area, but I am, Glenn, I'm just so proud of this group. I would say obviously you want to see some more goals. I'm assuming you would say you got to work on the draws a little bit more too after a night like tonight. Four for 17, I think it was. I don't know what, I haven't looked at the stat sheet. We got, they're just were faster than us in the draw and we're gonna really refocus on getting a few different styles of draw takers. We often put the ball to where we want it and not win it because we have too narrow of a gap of where we're putting it. When we were first to the ball, they were still getting it and when we were second to the ball, they were off to the races, we weren't even close. So we'll keep working on that. It's funny because I don't get to actually hear your halftime interview and she's got to tell me about it later. It's the whole way that this works.  Coach mentioned that at the half and that's of course that you went through this a year ago where, you know, you took one on the chin against this team and clearly things were much different by the time you got to the post season. You're getting deeper into the season. Do you feel like there's a path for this team to be even better should there be a rematch in the conference tournament? I do, I do, I don't think we, this team has nerves. I think they play every game with their full heart on the line. They're not, they know what it means to pour everything into a game and not come out successful and they'll live to see another day and they'll come back and fight in the next game. I think sometimes when you have a team that wins a lot of games, the nerves starts to play into it and our advantage last year was that, hey, we didn't win a million games last year. Whereas, you know, some of our opponents had won a lot of games and we went in just thinking we could win every game and ultimately that powered us to the conference championship and got us to win in the NCAA tournament and I'm hoping for the same thing out of this group. They're certainly capable. We saw signs today that they are certainly capable. We have to go back to the drawing board on attack, I think. I wanna ask you about, because we obviously know why Sophie's up here and we've talked to Sophie a lot over the years, but you brought somebody else up tonight and I think it's a reflection of the defensive effort tonight. Can you tell me a little bit about Han? So, Megan Tweed is... That's what I meant to say. I totally, I think I said Han. There's so many Hanas on this team that I ended up doing that about. So, Megan has been putting in work year after year and has been a role player over the years and we come into this season and injury after injury and Megan has always fought hard. It was not, she was a real easy choice to slide into a starting role, but I've watched her blossom into a player who just wants the ball. She plays defense like I love to watch defense. I don't like to try to keep the other team from scoring. I like to see how long is it gonna take us to get the ball back and Megan has really fired up RD in a lot of ways. She had to have had, I don't know, I haven't looked at the steps, but she had to have had, I don't know, six or seven ground balls and a handful of closed turnovers and was really important in a lot of the slides. Really important in a lot of the double teams, things that don't show up on this stat sheet. When you have a player that starts, comes to you and just works hard every single day for three years and she deserves this and it was so fun to watch her today and I'm proud of her, but at the same time I had no part in how hard she worked. This came from her heart a hundred percent and we can tell them what to do X's and O's all day, but if they don't want it and they don't love it, it's not gonna happen. All right coach, best of luck on the road these next couple of games. We'll see you back here for senior day. Thank you.


I'm pretty sure most of you out there know the popular franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, well. Did you know that Sonic's first appearance was in Sega's Rad Mobile Coinop? I didn't. Think so since most people believe that Sonic's first game was his first appearance, well. There was an unreleased final version of Sonic the Hedgehog, which was meant to be the last game to feature Sonic in which was in development in 2003. The reason why the version was. It was unreleased, because all of the programmers complained to Raymond Lamere that the game would cause the children to get nightmares. To what I remembered, only a few people played. The final version including me. The title screen remained unchanged except that Sega. 1991 was now replaced with Sega 2003 including a text above it stating final version. When I started playing, everything seemed normal and unchanged like with the title screen. Right when I jumped on the enemies, no animals come out and the color of the smoke was black, but looked a little gray, if it were inverted. Another strange thing is in the original version, if you collected plenty of rings in act one and two in any of the zones, eh. Giant ring would appear at the end of the level hovering in midair, where you jump into it. It would take you to a special stage where you can get emerald, if you were successful. Hitting any of the gold spheres which in this version, no version of that. Ring appeared at the end, even though I had more than 40 rings. Now I was in act two, again. Nothing much changed, then that's when I reached the boss in act three. When I defeated DR. Eggman, Dr. Eggman's ship exploded, leaving Eggman flying in midair, then falling on his head. When he got up, you could see a scratch on Dr. Eggman's forehead, that's when DR. Eggman began crying and putted both of his hands over his eyes, and sat back down like if he was a child. In fact, Dr. Eggman's cry mixed with an actual child's cry which both of them sounded very realistic. After 30 seconds, the screen began fading into static, including a scream from Majora's mask for two seconds, until the screaming and the static. Cutting to a gruesome scene in Green Hill Zone, which had a black sky, no clouds. At all, the water's color was replaced with blood red and the grass was gray and covered in blood. The gruesome part about the scene was Sonic, he was laying on the grass, dead. His head was turned towards the camera and he was completely gray, his eyes were missing. And blood ran from his eyes down his face, a very loud ambience was playing. This lasted for six seconds, until static appeared for a split second. Then it cut to the same scene. This time, Sonic was standing up, looking at the camera with his body turned towards it. This lasted for one minute, until his mouth opened and closed repeatedly if he was talking. But words came out, then he stopped. He kept looking at the camera for another minute, until it cuts to Green Hill Zone Act 4. The background was back to normal, but the timer and the scorekeeper was missing. This time, I was playing as Tails, two questions popped. Into my mind, one what's Green Hill Act 4? From what I gathered, all zones only have three acts. In them two. What's Tails doing here, and why am I playing as him? Sadly, I couldn't think. Up a guess why Tails is here. The act was pretty much the same as Act 1, this time, there. Were no enemies. There were only animals scattered everywhere which were hopping up and down like in the ending. It seemed happy at first, but when I reached the end of the level, the screen cut to static for two seconds. Then it cut to the exact same gruesome scene. Before Act 4, but this time, instead of Sonic, it was, Tails. He was hanging from A. News. He was in perfect state except he had no pupils, this lasted for an hour, I thought. It was the end of the game, so I left my seat to turn off the Genesis and eject the visor version of the game, but just before I could do it, the same Sonic appeared on the screen, his head was the only part of him visible, a scream from a woman could be heard. Which was very loud that it almost damaged my eardrums, as soon as I heard it, I immediately turned the Sega Genesis off since I was next to it, then I ejected the game. From my Genesis and drove at a nearby river and threw the cartridge into the water, ever. Since I played the game, I couldn't sleep because I knew I was going to have nightmares. If someone, or the one of the few people who own it, still have it and haven't played it. Yet, don't play the game, contact me as soon as possible, if you played the game, it was your own risk.


Hello everybody. Welcome back to Esquitura, Atlanta.  I'm really grateful I had some pre-recorded videos that I could put up for you guys, but I'm glad to be back. I still have a little bit of a low-grade fever. I just took my temperature. I'm still congested, coughing, but I think we're good to go. This morning, I had the pleasure of hopping on with JCK as a surprise guest for her live Q&A. And I got to talk to a guy named Campbell who has a Tartaria channel. So I am going to be placing some of those links down in the description box below for you guys. And hopefully I can get them on and we can do a deeper, deeper discussion into Tartaria with them. Because as I've said before, there are channels out there that are 100% dedicated just to the subject of Tartaria. I feel like my strength, my will house is more researching into odd stories, especially spiritual and religious stories, although I will talk about Tartaria, but he's definitely more of the expert. And so I'm super excited about moving forward and digging more into this fascinating topic. So once again, I wanted to give some shout outs to our awesome subscribers here on Esoteric Atlanta. I know I spoke about this on our last live, but Sandy made me this gorgeous necklace. She has an Etsy shop that I am going to be placing a link to her Etsy shop down in the description box below. It is gorgeous. And she wrote about every, wrote me a note with all the different stones that she used for this necklace. So please go and check out Sandy's Etsy shop coming up. If you've got someone with a summer birthday or you just want to do something nice for a friend or a girlfriend or whatever, go check her shop out. I really believe that this is what our new earth is going to look like is us really just helping each other out with our small businesses. I mean, I would rather get a homemade gift from a small business where there was actual love and thought put into the manufacturing of the gift versus getting something that's just duplicated in a mass production line. So once again, please, please, please go and check out Sandy's shop on Etsy. Again, link is down in the description box below. I also got this awesome, awesome, awesome bracelet with the protective eye from another subscriber. Now, Stephanie sent this to me. I think she sent it to Stephanie first and then she sent it over to me. And I believe this was made by Rebecca. Now Rebecca, if you're watching, will you let me know if you have a shop too so I can put your shop in the description box below because this is absolutely gorgeous. And I have worn this last week. I was wearing this on a couple of shows. I don't know if you noticed before I got sick. And so I haven't been able to give you the proper thank you, but thank you so much. And I love how you picked gold for me because gold kind of is my color. So I love it so much. Thank you so, so, so much. And I also got some awesome rocks, healing stones from Terri that again, Stephanie sent over to me. So some beautiful, beautiful, beautiful rocks. I have a bowl here that I keep all of my all of my rocks in. It's like my little bowl of rocks. And I'll frequently pull one out and like hold it depending on what I feel like I need when I'm doing like a long episode or something or I'm talking to someone else. I frequently, so I'm going to put these in with all my other, my other rocks.  My friends always laugh that I have like a witch's deck because I got like pyramids and yonk. I've got my big amethyst here. I've got my big tourmaline here and I've got this like shell that or I keep my sage and my dragon's blood for protection like the good delight worker which is a light worker. So but no, it's just rocks and stuff to keep me protected on this journey as I hope you guys are all staying protected on this journey. So channel updates, moving forward with you and we're just doing the same stuff that we've been normally do. We're going to continue with the Sophia code. Obviously, thank you guys for having such a positive response to that book. And then obviously the Magdalen manuscript is going to continue as well. Now coming up this Wednesday on the channel for the Sophia code, we are getting into Isis and that video is two hours long. I played with cutting it into two sections but it just did not work as two sections because it's a constant reading. So with Isis, so I don't think half the word the next is going to be as long. I kind of already looked ahead to try to figure out how long that was going to be. So I would suggest that for this Isis reading though, that you listen to it or read along with me at a time where you can cut out two hours specifically for the reading because it is really intense and really, really valuable. It's a lot of activation with Isis. So I would really, really suggest that you cut cut that two hours out to be present with the material. Now also on Wednesdays, as most of you know, I am over on Aquarius Rising Africa where Shanti and I are doing commentary on the documentary, The Lost History of the Flat Earth which is about tartaria. It's one of the best documentaries on tartaria out there. It's like seven hours long. That's why we're breaking it up into weeks to talk about it and just bring up the highlights that make people kind of scratch their head as to like, oh wow, yeah, the history they taught us doesn't even make sense, depending on what the evidence that we have. On Mondays I am still back with Aquarius Rising Africa as well to talk about these interesting topics. Last week, Stephanie joined me. We went through the Maravigians which we spoke about on my channel as well. If you missed that episode, I will put that in the description box below. In this upcoming Monday, we are going to be reviewing Mithraism again. We've spoken about Mithraism multiple, multiple, multiple times on this channel but I was pushed by Magdalen to bring it up again on Aquarius Rising Africa because in my opinion, Mithraism along with tartaria is kind of the nail in the coffin for some of these matrix-based dogmatic control mechanisms like the church. Now I am going to do a brief rundown quickly of Mithraism. So for those of you who want to join us on Monday on Aquarius Rising Africa at 10 o'clock Eastern time, if you want to join in the live chat, I'm going to go ahead and give you a quick rundown so that you have places to start for your own research. With that being said, there won't be a Mystery Monday released this Monday because I've been sick and I haven't had a chance to prepare a Mystery Monday but again, we will be back on with Aquarius Rising Africa to talk about this topic. Now I discovered Mithraism when I was doing my breakdown on the Council of Nicea which was the original starting point to see where everything went wrong when it came to the Christian faith. As you guys know, a couple years ago we started going through the Mystery Books of the Bible on David Zublik's channel. That's when I first started to get threatened by the Christians because I was just simply reading through these missing books that we have available. No harm, no foul. Just because you're reading something doesn't mean you have to believe it. I just wanted to see what they said and now I understand what Magdalene who is my guide guided me through this wanted me to do. By reading through the missing books of the Bible it opened up a whole Pandora's Box shall we say a rabbit hole of deception that went beyond just these censored books of the Bible and yes, the missing books are a form of censorship. So if you don't support censorship then you should be totally fine with people reading the missing books of the Bible. If you are not okay with people reading the missing books of the Bible then you are not then you are in support of censorship basically. That's censorship. That's what that is. So obviously getting into the Council of Nicaea though were the first the first time we went through this cutting of books. Now remember guys according to what we know there should be 777 books in the Bible. We got 66 so most of the story is missing and now most of these books we cannot get our hands on. There's about 45 books out there that have been found in excavation scouts sites that we are able to look through but beyond that the rest of them are hidden under the Vatican. Now obviously things like the Gnostic text tell a totally different story. Things like the Apocryphon text tell a totally different story. In order to understand there's some missing books of the Bible we have yet to go through that actually confirm that Yahshua was never crucified. Something that I now accept to be the truth. The reason why I accept that Yahshua the person that we call Jesus which we're going to get to his name was actually Yahshua was never crucified is because the God of light of source does not require blood sacrifices. Lucifer does but we do know that the God of the Bible is Lucifer. If you want that confirmation for yourself you can read Revelation 21 where they talk about the new God coming down to earth who was in the new God it's the original God because Lucifer's contract is now over. So when I started studying the Council of Nicaea I realized that Constantine himself was no Christian. Don't even know don't even get me started like you guys can do your own research on that it's pretty obvious. I know the church wants to tell you he's a saint. I don't anybody who's been saint sainted at this point I'm a little skeptical of Mother Teresa was epic sainted we know how that worked out and we do know through writings especially from his biographer Eusebius that Constantine himself was constantly changing his story for political power. Constantine himself was somebody who wanted a new world order. He did not want people to be free and in fact the emperor that he went to war against Max Ascensius was more of the emperor that wanted people just to be free. He didn't want his people heavily taxed. He wanted them to be able he was against persecution of different faiths. He wanted people just to be able to live and let live. Something kind of like what the American Constitution is supposed to grant us people here in America. It was Constantine that was the communist tyrant psychopath who actually had his son beheaded and boiled his wife alive after he allegedly found Christ. Shit's not adding up. Now we also have proof by Constantine himself that he was no Christian and this is from the Ark of Constantine that today is in Rome Italy. I don't know if that's where it originally was but the Ark of Constantine does not say anything about Jesus, Yahshua, the Christ. It says nothing about the Christian faith. In fact, it's full of more paganistic beliefs. So if you don't believe me, if you're still brainwashed and mind controlled by the church, go and look at the Ark of Constantine. So if Constantine was not a Christian then what was he? That's when I found Mithraism.  That's when it all clicked that Christianity is no more than another version of Satanism. Legit. So let's talk about it. Who was Mithra? Well, Mithra was the divine son who promised immortality. Sounds interesting, right? Divine son who promised immortality. He was the God of showing light or the illuminated aka Lucifer. Because he was the God of showing light or the illuminated he was depicted as the sun god. He had the rays coming out of his head, the rays that would eventually turn into the halo of Jesus. The rays that are also on the statue of liberty in New York makes you wonder is that Mithra? Mithra was born on December 25th and some accounts he was born of a virgin just like Mary. Allegedly, we know that Jesus or Yahshua was not born of a virgin because that's a satanic sex ritual with a succubus or anicubus.  I don't know. Consent is needed for the light so Yahshua's parents were Mary and Joseph. But Mithra, allegedly and some accounts was born of a virgin and some accounts he was carved out of stone. A lot of the ancient writings on Mithra are no longer available to the public so we have to go with the archaeological evidence that people have found. He had 12 disciples. Just like they tell you Yahshua had 12 disciples but the real Yahshua had way more than 12 disciples. He promised you immortality if you followed him. He had communion with the bull which we're going to get into. Get this guys. He called himself the way, the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me. Funny that 1400 years before they tell us Jesus lived, Mithra was saying this that he was the way, the truth and the life. He practiced blood sacrifice. He was killed for the betterment of the world which is what they tell you about Jesus. He was buried in a tomb and then he rose again after three days. Interesting, right? Interesting. He is considered the mediator between God and man. He is also honored as the patron of loyalty to the emperor or the king of kings. Now Mithra as in itself was a religion of the upper class and of the military industrial complex specifically the Roman army. Now I don't believe the Roman empire actually existed so I think what we're seeing is the remains of something else but regardless the elites practice Mithraism. So let's look at their beliefs and what they did. They included seven grades of initiation and the initiates called themselves syndexioids which I don't know if I'm saying that right syndexioids I'll put the word up on the screen which means united by a handshake. Sounds awfully familiar to me to the Freemasons. They met in underground temples and they had to take an oath of secrecy. Now when they invented Christianity which yes they did invent Christianity they invented it as a form of Mithraism except the counterfeit Mithraism which would be the Jesus story was sold to the masses and then the real Mithraism was used as a worship for the elite. Now how do we know this? Because a lot of our old churches have Mithraic temples in the basement. So while the masses were upstairs non the wiser being spell casted by the priests and the preachers the elites were underneath them committing sacrifices and worshiping Mithra, harnessing the energy from the people above. This is y'all doesn't it? We also see Mithra temples near Hadrian's wall and all over other parts of Europe and probably here in the Americas as well. And in fact in one Mithra temple in Rome Italy on the wall there is something carved that says, and thou hast saved us by the shedding of the eternal blood. Sounds very similar to what is said in the Bible except for this eternal blood was Mithra sacrificing a bull. Now a bull is ball. Duh.  And then the communion is them drinking the blood. What does that sound like? And eating the meat in order to achieve immortality and then again once Mithra died he rose again in three days. Now I'm going to leave it there for you so you can join us on Monday for a deeper discussion. Stephanie will also be there to add into her research as well but one thing I did notice so a couple years ago when I started talking about Mithraism wasn't many videos on Mithraism. But once we started talking about it and really pointing out the obvious that Christianity is basically Mithraism not the other way around all of a sudden these other videos started popping up to try to disprove it. At the end of the day you're free to believe what you want to believe but facts are facts. Only Lucifer requires a blood sacrifice. Only Lucifer is a genocidal maniac who is only satiated by blood.  No you wouldn't. So why would God do that? The real God the true Creator is a loving loving source of consciousness and bliss. The real story of Christ was the story of Joshua and Magdalene. They came down here as teachers to activate our own Christ consciousness within us to show us that we were like them. There was no difference between you me and Joshua. We all came from the same Creator. They weren't crucified. They weren't sacrificed.  They left the earth when it was their time. The story of Jesus that's the story of Mithra. The halo is the sun rays. Sun rays demonstrating the illuminated light of Lucifer. So again it's okay to believe what you want to believe but you have to understand where everything is coming from and I know that it can be scary. The matrix of religion is a hard one to break. You're looking at people's vulnerability. You're looking at massive cognitive dissidents. You're looking at major mind control. Why not because it's your mortality you're dealing with and we've all been grandfathered into these fates and it's not just the Christian faith that's fucked up.  They're all part of the cabal. Make no mistake about that. The true God is one of divine grace and mercy and love. The true God would never ask for a blood ritual. Only Lucifer would. So I hope and pray that people start to wake up and realize this. All right guys. Hope you can join us on Monday at Aquarius Rising Africa to do a deeper discussion. Thank you for sitting through this. I still have a bit of a fever so I'm just trying to get through it. Tomorrow I'm going to be speaking with Emmy again and Stephanie to do an astrological look at June. So that should be interesting. Anyway, I hope you guys are having a wonderful Friday and I will see you soon. Bye.


Pull-up and pull-down resistors are a core component for any digital sensor that you might use in your Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects. In a nutshell, pull-up and pull-down resistors helps at the default resting position of your GPIO pin and also help filter out digital noise. We will learn how pull-up and pull-down resistors work, when to use which one, and how to wire them up for your project. But first, to understand how pull-up and pull-down resistors work, we must understand how digital signals work. In a sense, digital signals are zeros and ones, on or off. A zero is a ground or low voltage signal, while a one is a either 5 or 3.3 volt high voltage signal. A push-button switch is the easiest way to understand how this digital signal works. Now, if I wire it up following this circuit, you can see that pressing the push-button results in a value of one, while releasing the button results in a value of zero. Now, what if you wanted to reverse this behavior and I wanted to have a value of zero when I pressed the button and a value of one when I let go of the button? Now, you might imagine that changing this circuit to something like this might remedy the solution. But actually, if you try it out, you can see that pressing the button now is absolutely nothing. This is where the pull-up and pull-down resistor comes in. On a side note, you might have noticed that the values coming out of the circuits that we just talked about aren't very stable. Just by touching the digital pin, we can introduce some fluctuations called digital noise. This is because the pin is in a floating position and the pull-up or pull-down resistor can actually remedy this. So, let's start with the pull-down resistor. As you can see, when I connect this resistor between ground and our digital pin, the value instantly drops to zero. Furthermore, any digital noise introduced by touching the pin has also been eliminated. Our button functionality has not been compromised. Following a tweaked version of our original circuit, we can see that when we add the button and press it, we get a stable one reading and if we let go of the button, we get a stable zero reading. Now, let's move on to our pull-up resistor. We can wire up a pull-up resistor by connecting our digital pin through the resistor to our board's power source. On the Arduino, this is the 5V out and on the Raspberry Pi, this is the 3.3V out. As soon as we connect our resistor, you can see the value of our digital pin jumps up to a one. Now, if we modify our circuit and add a button from the digital pin to ground, you can see that pressing the button actually brings the value back down to zero and letting go of the button brings the value back up to a one. This means that the resting position of the digital pin is now a one. It's been pulled up from a default value of zero to a default value of one. This pull-up is where the pull-up resistor gets its name. Now, before we continue, do note that pull-up and pull-down resistors aren't a special category of resistors. They're just normal resistors that get the names based on how they're wired. If you want more information on resistors, you can watch the tutorial on resistors. So you might have noticed that I didn't talk about the specific value of the resistor used in our pull-up or pull-down resistor demos that we've conducted so far. Now we're going to learn about how to select the appropriate value for your pull-up or pull-down resistor. We know that the resistor's main function is to restrict the flow of current. This property is especially important for selecting a pull-up resistor. If you select too small of a resistance value, what'll happen is you'll have too much current flowing between your power source and your digital pin. This can either damage your microcontroller or cause a safety shutdown causing your microcontroller to turn off. This is why we use a higher resistance value for a pull-up or pull-down resistor. The second reason that we use a high resistance value is that if you didn't use a high enough resistance value, our digital pin might be stuck at the pulled-up or pulled-down state regardless of the value of our digital sensors also connected to our digital pin. As a general rule to avoid this, use a resistor value that's 1 tenth less than the input impedance of your input pin. If all of this sounds too complicated for you, stick to a simple 10 kilo ohm pull-up or pull-down resistor as it's almost universally used for this function. Now lucky for us, most microcontrollers actually have built-in pull-ups that can be enabled simply through the code. That means we don't need to wire them. Now let's understand how we can enable that through the code. Okay, here I have my code for the Arduino and here I have my code for the Raspberry Pi in Python. The Raspberry Pi is a bit special because it can do internal pull-ups and internal pull-downs. So as you can see by using this line here, we can enable internal pull-downs and by using this line we can enable internal pull-ups.  For the Arduino it's even simpler, you just do pin mode, in this case digital pin 2 and then your internal pull-up. And then you can go ahead and use it as a normal sensor, simple as that. That's it for this tutorial, thanks for watching.


People don't want to hear as much as perhaps the people here. Sometimes I don't have three minutes or an hour to talk to personally. That's why I wanted to hear so definitely. But I'm going to let them off instead of talking to all of them. You wouldn't have any suggestions. I'm sure you would. I appreciate it. Sure, at least there's no good for the president. Yeah, the more you get into the transformation of mine, the more it does seem to be more effortless. Almost like you're transparent. It's just boring, radiating through, and it feels very joyful and more natural, less abrupt. There's a couple of aspects to your question that are very helpful. First aspect I'll talk a little bit about is the idea of being appropriate. You'll find that the Holy Spirit will speak through. In general, what I've always found is the message of the joy, the freedom, the happiness, the laughter that is really the message so it comes through in a way that could be most helpful, as of course kind of puts it to the miracle receiver. And so that's one aspect of everybody that gets lighter and lighter and lighter. It feels more and more involuntary and miracles are involuntary. And whenever there's a sense of trying to have a little bit of control that comes in there, that's where the acceptance comes in and it can feel inappropriate and for somebody the signs can be like people are turned off for breaking my contact, changing the subject, you have to compete to their verbal very direct like get out of my face, I've heard enough for the subtle more nonverbal clues that people use to get, you know, which is that's enough. I was thinking about, I was traveling in Toronto recently and a friend of mine was going through absence from Felicity and he reminded me of the story where Helen Shuckman is late for work. She's been describing the course and she gets to work and she's late for work and when she comes back she would feel as if Jesus had here I am doing your work and describing of course it's very close and I get to work and I'm late as like this is she was projecting on Jesus and basically Jesus said well, you know, you have to ask me when to stop and when to start and we're basically saying Will's scribes should be under Christ's control and basically said that the reason she seemed to be late for work and she had all the stinker coming up because of indiscriminate miracle working indiscriminate miracle working and there's Helen Shuckman who's been going down for seven years and she has been in indiscriminate miracle work and I just had to laugh when I read it because I thought okay, so it just shows you about what we're talking about when we talk about being under Christ's control nearly letting go of the ego so that there's a real attentiveness in the sense that he was saying to Helen you could ask me when to start and ask me when to stop and so on and so forth don't take anything for granted and think about how in human relationships that's the way it goes at the beginning when you have the first date and you're all attentive and you put on good impressions and everything is so Christ intended you've been married for 20 years yeah, yeah, see the same thing I know exactly what you're going to do and you know what I'm going to do so that's just the familiarity between them the ego thing, things it knows even the simplest things like what relationships are who people are, how things are going to go and things like even describing course the other thing I'd like to talk about is the thing about being appropriate my friend Dorothy, I remember Dorothy when I met her early on years ago in Moscow we would have these discussions and I noticed a lot of times that Dorothy is that we would go around to different places and Dorothy was just beaming and her cheeks were a rosy red and she was just a bundle of joy just flowing, flowing, flowing joy and some real singers would come out of her mouth but I mean, I don't know the world would even judge them appropriate but they were so profound that they would stop the show in fact a lot of times sometimes people's jaws would drop and their heads would turn kind of like to do a double take like what did she just say and then they would look at her and see her just absolutely beaming and they would kind of turn and go yeah, yeah, that's right so what would probably could be judged from the world some real singers, you know a Jesus like those some pretty good singers and his time is simple but it's not so much the words it's the presence behind the words and you really get into the joy your presence teaches in fact it teaches to demonstrate so I would say Dorothy was just flowing around and her great joy always demonstrating great great joy that was normally beyond the words but occasionally the little singers would come out and the heads would turn and the mouths would drop and then it would be a great thing I'm sure they would probably think about it later in the day like wow, I've never thought of it that way it was just kind of like a bright star like a comet in a dark night so it's not always that the Holy Spirit will guide you to just be appropriate in the sense that what the courtsman will do will take you out equally but it will also give you the joy of really teaching behind the words because we all know that we've had spiritual teachers and people we've looked up to and the words have sounded very eloquent but unless there's the presence behind the words and unless there's the consistency of that state of mind then you know how children are if the parents say don't do this, don't do that if the parents don't demonstrate the integrity and the consistency then the kids will not pay attention to the parent it's similar with us when we really get into the likeness and heaviness and peace and joy that the Course is all about that the presence, the I am presence is that's really what does the teaching and then you won't have to worry so much about how people take the words the beatitudes will speak so loud that they'll shout beyond the words and the third aspect I'd like to talk a little bit about characterizing the movement with that thing about indiscriminate miracle working miracles are involuntary and so if there's an aspect of control that's involved about where instead of the miracles like oh so and so they really gotta hear this if you find yourself going to family members and certain people with your fights where you feel like you've moved the wrong way and you start to get into a little bit of a discourse here and there about no this is the way it really is then this is where the ego's control is coming in because miracles should inspire and bless and should bring a sense of joy not like you're trying to cram something down somebody's throat and there's a great section of the Course on Correction there where he basically says your brother is always right even if he's speaking the same way because he has a son of God what a powerful section your brother is always right and that's how you stay happy when we were talking about people should rather be right or happy if you always remember that your brother is always right even if they're speaking the same way then you see the calls for love and you let your light shine and you'll know there's joy there but once you start getting into correcting then that's where the error is coming in it's as if somehow the truth is some kind of intellectual or conceptual endeavor and that these people don't have the correct concepts but truth is an experience he says and it cannot be described or explained in the experience so that should be like a key indicator of what these miracles are about so I always just remember in voluntary where Linda Carpenter and I were talking too about when you just show up with presence that's it you've completed your full responsibility not so much showing up just in order but when you come with willingness to just be truly helpful and you're completely clueless about how to do it you are in a real good state of mind because then the Holy Spirit can flow through you so ever even if you show up and you're willing to be helpful but you still are going to try to use some class learning like KLS Week of the Miracle conference I did this technique or this that you know you're going to find you're still going to get into struggles because if you're trying to bring anything from the past to the present it's not going to really allow the Holy Spirit to flow through so it does take seemingly practice that's what this is really about it's great that the study of the book and the doing of work with lessons the teacher manual they're really all very important but in the end it's that experience of you know forget this world forget this course and come and open arms unto your God that you know you may for a while use the words of the course or the actual book as like a prop but in the end you want to be able to set the prop down and just say okay here we go Holy Spirit let's wing it let's go okay kind of like the nestling that finally gets pushed out of the nest you've got plenty of time in the nest you've got those wings and you know try them out and everything but once you finally get pushed out of the nest then that's when the real one doing begins and you get hit or really fought your wings and let the Spirit be that gust of wind underneath you and then you were coming over here on the ferry and you were watching they were saying that the updraft coming up from around the boat was just lifting and the seagull were just like right above us and it was such a powerful symbol of these seagulls right above our heads just not moving at all they were just allowing the updraft from the boat to come and just carry them for a little bit of a joy ride all the way over here so that's a kind of a symbol that reminds you of that I've always had a life during me and about two years ago I was told that I still had these memories so years passed on this big face for me and you it was just like almost like everything turned off finally found something that I wanted to do and I was searching inside of this island to try to see it and what it is that's causing still the love to understand this now that you hear so much of today the people of Spirige during this time was forgotten in the summer and changed and prayed I'll pray I have a question that's on this tree you realize in the waking up that's what you're going from as we still it's like the being of a body leaving flesh to an experience of self as pure spirit so we're going from the realm of the temporary and finite into the realm of the eternal and the infinite and what seems to occur in many cases are lots of things that seem to come up suddenly they can be unpredictable they can obviously involve the five senses and for a lot of aspects of science it evolves different psychic experiences visions body extremes in terms of temperatures diet appetite sexual appetite sleep patterns carries back they're leaning against the post back there she came to a little peace house and one day was just reporting that it felt like her face was going to explode so I could just pressure her got more and more intense it felt like her face was just going to blow up and explode and each other reminded us really louder louder louder just louder huge volume and she ended up going into our attic which was very hot and there was probably any ventilation and she went in there and she turned the light off went in the dark and actually moved deeper in her mind to a point of this terror absolute terror would be in line with the panic attack and then Mark was just beating bang boom boom boom boom at this point and then he came down and was just shaking all over it was an absolute trauma he was taking but that actually led us into an openness and a discussion of me talking to her about you know what do you feel you need and what is your inner self calling for it's always a call into something it's never a way the world would say it's like let's diagnosis and figure out what the problem is but the problem is never what it seems to be because it's always the belief in separation in the matter which is really deep and very very very so in Harry's case it's like in a matter of minutes we were able to choose to say I've never given myself permission to just have silence in 30 years I've never given myself permission to just go off somewhere with complete unstructured time and have food and water and not a lot of distractions computers and phones and plots and all kinds of things and so that experience which paralleled yours in many ways was just like a doorway to getting in touch with what do I need to give myself permission what haven't I given my given my mind permission to do I'm going through all these things I mean when I was a kid I remember you know church was not always the most positive experience taking kind of ritual mystic and some of the heavens I was more like funeral churches and you know and something singing church and the rituals and the archeology and the benediction over and over I remember making myself sick so I wouldn't have to go to church and and I'd say I think I've got a fever I've got a fever I've got it I've got a fever while we're cooking now and it's getting in the air I've got a fever while it's getting a ticker you know and it's like you know lesson 136 sicknesses is a dance against the truth he talks about it's a decision that we make when we're too afraid of love and we think we have to do something to get out of something or to make something happen we think that sickness is it'll get us what we want and until we start to realize that we can just get what we want by by desiring with all our heart and letting go of these crazy ego distortions then the best way to look at those symptoms that you're talking about is this is a call to give you your own permission and get in touch with what what you really want what's really there that you're calling on to do so that's the best way to look at those kind of things because I encounter a lot of people who go through a lot of things like that and when you were talking to it was reminding me I don't think I've ever read the book but somebody was telling me one time years ago about his reference it was called like Johnny gets your gun or something about a man and who apparently as the book goes on it seems like he kind of figured out that he's just been in a war he's kind of he's so delusional and he just doesn't he's not in touch with what's going on but if the book moves along he thinks I think I must have just been on a battlefield and then if the book progresses through the chapters he realizes that that he can't see and then that he can't hear and he goes a little further and he can't smell and he goes further and he can't taste and he can't touch then he has no use in all of his five senses but the book reaches the climax of course at the very end where he realizes I still exist I still exist and in any use of the five senses I still exist think how different that is from the ego sphere when the senses start to go you know how many of us when we were kids or young we might have thought when you probably if I couldn't see or if I lost a limb ever ponder those things you know well it's like in your case where the senses seem to be shutting down or dying the panic attacks are coming from the ego and it's going oh my god that is terrible I'm disappearing my resources my means of of pursuing the world we're going well the neat thing about it is you start to realize that consciousness of the mind is not dependent on the five senses in fact the reason I point this out is like a lot of times people I know a lot of people who come to me to know say they've had out of body experiences where some people have had what they call new death experiences I call them new life I think it's new life doesn't make any sense to them but what happens is they find themselves up in the corner of the room or floating above the bottom there's many new death experiences that talk about or people who have a lot of body experiences and they say I could hear everything that was going on and I could see everything in the room and I could could even smell things I mean they describe in vivid detail everything that goes on word for word and how it looks the colors, the vibrancy and everything and yet they tell you that they're up in the corner of the room looking down their body looking down their body with what is there an eyeball of the death attack in the corner of the room is there a little ear up there a little brain a little neurotransmitter is there they're perceiving the whole scene without eyes and rows and ears and fingers and everything they're perceiving the whole thing that's why when people say to me about somebody I feel so bad I had my chance to talk to someone so forgive them but now they're in a coma it says the body lying there in a coma has had no way of communicating but communication is not limited to the five senses but we're telling you five senses literally have nothing nothing to do with existence or with communication well everyone we talk about workshops and talking about things and being able to say open up with words in this net there is no communication going on on the horizontal plane and this world is the horizontal plane that all the force is doing is helping us get in touch with variable we might say communication which is communion in the name of the helicopter's book communion this is about communion and communion is a state of revelation in which you know your creator now that is communication and all this stuff that involves words and the five senses is what Jesus says words are but symbols of symbols twice removed from reality which point is that words are no place you know and even this thing about the book and being a scripture and holding words and everything well if there are symbols of symbols twice removed from reality all public sphere students are saying we can use these words to help train your mind in meditation in this but some of the visualizations are about in the workbook and we can use provided meditations and so forth but we can really get into the workbook you see that it's about wanting beyond the words in fact there is even a place in the workbook where Jesus says our use for words is almost over now wow that's good news it's not this is a frightening thing or a threatening thing this is the good news of the kingdom so hopefully this helps in the sense that what it does is it starts to put things into perspective that when things start to get your ego starts to panic you can just start to relax and let go and ease into the experience that your mind is calling for that's beyond sense and I should mention the parents behind me that she that was a very pivotal experience going into that how I had it because very shortly after that we ended up going down to Tennessee into a very remote little cabin that was very rustic in the mountains of northern Tennessee and stocked her up with water and food for about three weeks and she zipped into a mystical experience and just went on and on and on after she gave her mind permission and that came right on the heels seemingly out of the face that was ready to explode a pain of a loud voice a voice that's in her mind and noise the chatter turned up to a high volume which seems like you're dying it's really how it feels but actually it's just going right past that to the experience to really a long long song


I'm going to be making this rocket, and I recognize that I can split it into a couple of different components. I'm going to start with a revolved base to make the fuselage shape, this center body part. And then I'm going to create a single fin and extrude that using an extruded base, and then make a pattern of them around the center of the rocket to create the three fins that I need with an offset of 120 degrees each. And then I'm going to use a revolved cut to remove this center part. So if this were a model rocket, that might be where you put the rocket engine, although this is 96 inches tall, so maybe it's just a really, really big model rocket. Anyway, I'm going to start with a sketch representing half of the cross section of the main body of my rocket from a front view. So if I jump into SolidWorks and create a new part, I can create a sketch on the front plane, and then I'm going to be making the basic geometry first and then going through and dimensioning it.  I'm going to arbitrarily decide that the origin point of my model should be the center of the bottom of the nozzle, so I'll be using that. Now if I jump back into SolidWorks, I can add a, let's try that, a line up the center, then an angle line for the nose, a vertical line for the outside, a jut in for the nozzle, and then an angle line and a horizontal line. That's my general shape. Now I can go through and add dimensions. So I know the height of my rocket, or rather the height from the bottom of the nozzle to the tip, which is 96 inches, so I will add that here, that is 96 inches. Then I know that my nose should have an angle of 50 degrees. I'm drawing half of that, so that angle should be 25 degrees. I'll use the Smart Dimension tool, and that will, if I click on this line and this line, that'll figure out that I want to dimension an angle, so I'll click there, and then make this 25 degrees, because that's half of 50. Next I know that my nozzle should be 6 inches tall, so I can dimension from this vertical line to this vertical line, tell it that should be 6 inches. Now I will add my diameters of the rocket, which are going to be radiuses here. So if I look at my top view of my sketch, I notice I have a lot of diameters, but the first one, the outside one, is 16 inches, which means that this radius here should be half of 16, which on most days is 8. And if you didn't want to do that math in your head, by the way, if you just type 16 slash 2, it'll do the division for you. Next I notice that I need diameters of 14.5, 14, and 12. And if I look closely at these arrows, I see that the second line is 14.5. And if you picture how this would actually look from the top, that second line is going to be this distance here. That's going to be the line created by the top of my nozzle, therefore I'm going to make that half of 14.5, which is 7.25, and then I'm going to make the bottom of my nozzle 12 inches in diameter, which would be a 6 inch radius. If you're having trouble recognizing the distinction between these hidden lines, if you look at it from the front, see if I can get down there, if you look at it from the front, you can see that this edge of the nozzle is further out from the center than is the inside surface of the cutout. So the second line you see from the outside, from a top perspective, is that top of the nozzle. So now I have my dimensions for the main body. Everything is black, which means it's fully defined. I can add an axis of revolution and create the part. So I'm going to create this as an infinitely tall vertical line from the origin to make sure it's centered. And now I can go to Features, Revolved Base, and I get my basic rocket shape. Cool. Now I'm going to add a fin. So I'm going to add the fin on the front plane because I want to make my model match the model indicated in this drawing. So the first fin here on the right is visible perpendicularly from the front view, which means it would be drawn on the front plane. Then when I create the pattern, I end up with fins that aren't aligned to any of the primary planes. So if I jump into the front view and create a sketch on the front plane, I can create the shape of the fin. So I'll have a line, and then a line, and a line, and then a line. How's that for a good fin? Now I can add dimensions. So I need the angle at the top to be 25 degrees. So again, I'll use the Smart Dimension and then click this line, and this line, and tell it that I want it to be 25 degrees. And you'll notice that that brought all the other lines around, which kind of broke the shape of my fin, but it's okay. I can bring it back by quitting the Smart Dimension Tool and then dragging this point over to where I want it to be. I'm going to tell Solidworks I want this line on the outside to be vertical. That way it won't get all kiddywampus again. And I'll add another angle at the bottom, which was 45 degrees. And I'll dimension a width, which I believe is 10 inches, yes, 10 inches. And I will dimension a height from the bottom. So I know that the bottom of the fin is going to be 3 inches below the bottom of the nozzle. So if I click this point, and then hover over the bottom of the nozzle and select that face. I can dimension this as being 3 inches. And then I need to add in the fact that the height of the outside of the fin needs to be 21 inches, and that should fully define my fin. So 21 inches. And there we go. The fin is turned black, which means it's fully defined. But here's the problem. If I were to just create a base extrusion now, I would end up with a fin that didn't actually touch the rocket. If you look at it from a top view, you see how the outside surface of the rocket is a circle? I mean, it's actually a circle. Solidworks is showing a preview view as a polygon here, but it's actually a circle. This is just to save video memory, I believe. It's trying to make it easier to render. Whatever the case, if I were to extrude linearly here, I'm going to be going away from the body of the rocket. I want the fin to be touching the rocket the whole time it's extruded. So the easiest way for me to do that is to actually bring the inside edge of the fin inside the body of the rocket. When I create the extrusion, Solidworks will actually join all the bodies anyway, so it doesn't really matter. So if I go back to my sketch, I'm going to first remove these two coincidences, which I do by clicking on the green box and hitting delete. And now I'm free to move the fin left and right. So first of all, I'm going to get rid of this line that I didn't know was there. Interesting, I must have clicked a couple too many times. And now I'm going to start my fin inside the actual body of the rocket. That's why I chose to create the cut, representing the inside of the rocket after the fin. That way, if I extrude the fin too far, the cut will remove that material as well. So I'm going to kind of arbitrarily set the inside of my fin as being, I don't know, an inch inside the outside surface of the rocket. And now I need to fix the rest of my dimensions here. So first of all, I need to specify that that 10 inches is no longer from the inside of my sketch to the outside of my sketch. That is from the actual outside surface of the rocket, which again, I hover over that and click and then click on this line. And now I can add the 10 inches. There we go. That brings it back. I could have also dimensioned from this line to this line and made that 11 because it's 10 plus one. But this way is a little bit easier, a little bit more elegant, my opinion. It doesn't actually matter what dimension I use here. I could say one inch. I could say six inches. It's actually okay because again, I'm cutting after I create the fin. So the cut will remove any extraneous material that's going too far into the inside of the rocket. For the moment, let's just stick with one. Now I have a fully defined sketch. I can go to features and create an extruded base. And I need this extrusion to happen symmetrically. So I'm going to use the midplane. And I need it to be a total thickness of 0.75 inches. So you see this checkbox? This is merge result. That's what I was referring to earlier. Solidworks is going to join the bodies. And there we go. We have a fin. So even though Solidworks is showing this again as a polygon instead of a round surface, it actually is behaving correctly. So there isn't a single gap at the edge of my fin. Everything is good. Cool. Now as opposed to trying to draw two more fins and then extrude them, I'm going to copy this one fin and create a pattern. And the type of pattern is going to be a circular pattern, not a linear pattern. Because I want it to go around the circular surface of the rocket. So if you click on the arrow below linear pattern, you have a couple of extra patterning options. I want to use circular pattern. So within circular pattern, I have a couple of boxes. This box that's currently highlighted is where I would select my extrusion that represents the fin. But you'll notice nothing is happening. That's because I also need to specify something in this box. That is the axis around which to revolve to create the circular pattern. So I don't actually have a nice middle line. You know, if this were a sketch and I was creating a revolved extrusion, I would create a construction line there down the center and revolve around that. But I can't just use a construction line here. I can't use a line within a sketch. I need to use the three dimensional equivalent. Which, if I exit out of my pattern here, is an axis. If I go up to reference geometry and click on axis, I can define an axis on my part for reference. So I'm going to be creating an axis down the middle of my rocket and I'm going to be revolving around that. So when I click on axis, I have a couple of options. SOLIDWORKS is basically saying, hey, where do you want that axis? And I have a couple of ways to tell it exactly where. So the first option here is I could select a line that already exists on my part. You know, if I were to select this line on the outside of my fin, I could make that be an axis. But that isn't helpful here. I've got other options like two points, which is where I could select two points on my sketch or excuse me, on my part. And SOLIDWORKS would create an axis between them. I have point and face, which I don't really have any convenient examples of here. I guess maybe this one, I could select this is the face and then this is the point. And SOLIDWORKS will create an axis that is perpendicular or rather normal to that plane and intersects the point that I selected. That would actually work here, but it's not the one that I would prefer to use. I have cylindrical face, which if I click on a face of a cylinder, will create an axis down the center that again would work here. But my favorite option for this particular circumstance is the two planes option. SOLIDWORKS will create an axis at the line resultant from the intersection of two planes. So if I were to click the front and top planes, those intersect at a line that extends horizontally here. So because my origin is at the bottom center of the nozzle, that horizontal line is extending away from the bottom center of the nozzle. So in this case, if I choose the front plane and the side plane, the right plane, the resultant axis is right down the center of my part because I revolved it around the origin. So that's perfect. That's the one I'd like to use here. Now I have an axis. So if I jump back to a front view for convenience and I go to circular pattern, I'm going to select that extrusion representing my fin again. And then up here in this box, I'm going to select that axis that I created. Now I have some options here. For example, right now I have equal spacing ticked. That means that it'll take the number of iterations in the pattern and space them equally among this angle. So right now it's taking that extrusion and creating three of them that are equally spaced around 360 degrees, which is actually what I want. If I had unchecked equal spacing, I would have to specify an offset between the fins. So here I could say 120 degrees and I would end up with the same result. But by making this be 360 degrees and equal spacing, I have kind of a convenient way to add or subtract fins. If I wanted to make the worst rocket in the world, I could add just dozens of these fins and end up with something that looks like a heat sink more than a rocket and would probably fly straight, but not very far. But if I jump back into that pattern, which I did by right clicking and clicking on edit, and make this be three, now I end up with the number of fins and the offset that I wanted. Three fins spaced equally around 360 degrees. I'm very nearly done. I now need to add the cut representing the middle section of the body. So the cut representing these hidden lines here. And again, I created the cut after the fins so that if the fins extended too far, the cut would remove them. And I'm going to use a revolved cut because of the rotational symmetry. So I'm going to be drawing half of this cut and then revolving it around a center. So I'm going to create another sketch. I could do that on the front or side planes, but I'm going to do that on the front because if it ain't broken, et cetera, then I'm going to draw the basic shape again, which is going to go vertical line up from the origin, over, down, add an angle, and then horizontally at the bottom of the nozzle. Then I'm going to add a relation for this angled line that it needs to be perpendicular to the outside of my nozzle. Sorry, parallel to the outside of the nozzle. And now I can start to dimension. So I read that I need, I read that I need a half inch so the nozzle has a thickness of half an inch. So I click on this line and this line with the smart dimension, tell it to be half an inch. Next, I'm going to add a height. So over here in the front view again, I see that the height of that cutout section is 60 inches. So this line needs to be 60 inches tall. Then I can add a radius distance, which I go back to the mess of a top view I have here and read, well, that hidden view. That is going to be not the first hidden line because that's the top of the nozzle. It's the second one now. And that has a diameter of 14 inches. So that 14 inch diameter would mean that I specify a radius here of seven inches. Now that sketch is black, I think. Yeah, it's fully defined. No, definitely fully defined. He said confidently. Oh, I see. I want to make sure that that center line that I drew is coincident to the origin and not the axis. So I have a sketch now representing my revolved cut. And then I'm going to add a construction line. Again, infinitely tall and vertical to represent the axis of revolution. And the reason I'm doing that instead of just using the axis that we created earlier is because I like the geometry in my sketch to be kind of contained as much as possible. That way I can mess with the axis if I wanted to and it wouldn't interfere too much with my sketch. Then I go up to features and revolved cut this time. And then I'm going to use the contour defined by this region and then accept that cut. And you notice how nothing changed? That's because the cut is inside. So if I jump in to a bottom view, I can see that region I just removed. And to make sure that it looks correct, I'm going to go back to a front view. I'm going to change my view settings to hidden lines shown. Now I kind of have this x-ray view. And I see that that looks pretty good. That is pretty much exactly what is on the drawing. Excellent. And I've completed my rocket.
