About Shirley and Sgt.'s cover

[TheMaster]

Wave thing? I'm not familiar with that. Do you have a link?

As for this picture here... Ive never seen it before. It's pretty wierd. What do you think it is? It almost looks like some kind of horned-god in the lotus postion. Maybe it's Pan? Im just guessing.


To tell you the truth, I dont really know what is going on with Pepper. I only know that Ive had some really strange experiences with the album. It seems to have a lifeforce connected to it. I dont know if its god or the devil. But there is a definite intelligence behind it. Some unseen mind, that has, on occaision, made itself known to me. And I seem to be oddly connected to it.

As for that picture of Uncle Sam, I cant put my finger on it. When i was a kid i knew. But now I'm older.( i dont know if that makes any sense.) I used to be a lot more sensitive than i am now. But Uncle Sam and organ grinders...they seem to come from the same place. There's something about that imagery ( i guess it's satanic)

Tommorrow when i get some time i'll tell you the story of Babaji. It's pretty interestng.

If you have have any theories on Pepper Id be interested to know.

TM, I can't find that wave info again, but it's out there...may have something to do also w/ being in two places at the same time, ....


I don't know what is "here" - perhaps a figure of a head with a smaller full figure of a "man" sitting on his shoulder? and a lightning bolt? and an blank headstone.

TM said "It's interesting that, just as tales of leprechauns come from Ireland, the tales of Nunus come from Africa.
"

as for the ram, Percy thillington connection, if you read that link, it's about the ram in the BOAT with a stick, metaphorical? didn't babaji the "avatar" have one also?

I'll have to study that Google book and the Percy Thrillington link. I just quickly scanned through it the other day. That does look like a lighting bolt or a stick in that picture. Im not sure if Babaji had a stick or not.

As for the "being in two places at the same time"... let me tell you my story.

I bear an uncanny resemblance to the picture of Babaji on Pepper. When I saw that picture 10 years ago, I went through all my photo-albums because i was sure it was a picture of myself.
Also wierd, the picture directly below babaji (Stephen Crane) looks exactly like my best friend Bill.
I actually live in Ontario, so i see that O.P.P. logo around all the time. Right across the river from where i live is the radio station where the 'Paul is dead' rumors began. (my name is Paul also by the way).
Ive had some interesting coincidences with Pepper over the years. Ive never really been able to explain them. But let me tell you the story of Babaji that i read.


Story goes... Babaji was God, he created himself in human form and he forgot that he was God. He fell in love with a woman and had the greatest life ever. When he died, he became God again. He loved his life as a human so much that he created himself in another human form so that he could watch his previous life. Then he created himself in another human form so he could watch himself watching himself... and so on, until the world became full of Babaji's. Sometimes Babaji creates himself in human form and lives a life of suffering, just for the joy that he experiences when he wakes up realizes that he is God again.

So, i think that to see a resemblance between Babaji and myself isnt really that odd. It kinda makes sense. And it doesnt surprise me that you would read something about "being in two places at the same time" because that seems to be what the babaji story is all about. I also find it interesting that on both Pepper and Darkhorse, Babaji is pictured with crowds of people. Because all those people are actually just incarnations of Babaji himself.

Anyway, that explains my interest in the album. There's a lot i dont understand. I will Read that Google book later tonight. (but as of today im done my vacation...and its back to work and school). Not much free time these days.

[LUCY]

yeah, he had a stick, for what it's worth

"After Babaji has been in one locality for some time, he says: ''Dera danda uthao.' ".' ('Let us lift our camp and staff.') He carries a symbolic danda (bamboo staff). His words are the signal for moving with his group instantaneously to another place. He does not always employ this method of astral travel; sometimes he goes on foot from peak to peak."


although, research tells me:

dera=Hindi (Transliterated) dera, DerA procrastination, encampment, lodging, abode, respite, late, lateness, postponement, camp.

danda= :Brahui DanDa club, thick stick.
Italian danda harness.
Kalanga danda block of wood, log.
Pangwa danda blood.
Sanskrit (Transliterated) daNDa a staff, also monetary punishment for wrong doing.
Shona danda log.
Urdu (Transliterated) Danda quarter staff, rod.
Venda danda pole rod log.
Wanji danda blood.

uthao = idleness, sloth

various language interp.....

I may not be right but I bet you that Shirley has to do with Saturn or somewhat..






now take a look at the Man of Miracles hat.



Dont be mad, be glad I figured it out for you guys. I dont know what it means but the point is it has to do somewhat with Saturn, maybe the number of points?

when rings cry

"We won't see the whole puzzle, only pieces, but what we are seeing is dramatic," said Dr. Carolyn Porco, Cassini imaging team leader, Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo. "The images are mind-boggling, just mind-boggling. I've been working on this mission for 14 years and I shouldn't be surprised, but it is remarkable how startling it is to see these images for the first time."

Some images show patterned density waves in the rings, resembling stripes of varying width. Another shows a ring's scalloped edge. "We do not see individual particles but a collection of particles, like a traffic jam on a highway," Porco said. "We see a bunch of particles together, then it clears up, then there's traffic again."

Other instruments on Cassini besides the camera have also been busy collecting data. The magnetospheric imaging instrument took the first image of Saturn's magnetosphere. "With Voyager we inferred what it looked like, in the same way that a blind man feels an elephant. Now we can see the elephant," said Dr. Tom Krimigis of Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md., principal investigator for the magnetospheric imaging instrument. The magnetosphere is a bubble of energetic particles around the planet shaped by Saturn's magnetic field and surrounded by the solar wind of particles speeding outward from the Sun.

"During approach to Saturn, Cassini was greeted at the gate," said Dr. Bill Kurth, deputy principal investigator for the radio and plasma wave science instrument onboard Cassini. "The bow shock where the solar wind piles into the planet's magnetosphere was encountered earlier than expected. It was as if Saturn's county line had been redrawn, and that was a surprise." Cassini first crossed the bow shock about 3 million kilometers (1.9 million miles) from Saturn, which is about 50 percent farther from the planet than had been detected by the Pioneer, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft that flew past Saturn in 1979, 1980 and 1981.

The location of the bow shock varies with how hard the solar wind is blowing, Kurth said. As the magnetosphere repeatedly expanded and contracted while Cassini was approaching Saturn, the spacecraft crossed the bow shock seven times.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. JPL designed, developed and assembled the Cassini orbiter.

did you figure this, george?

Blue Skies of Saturn:

Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud-free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths.
