The adept and his sister collect the "May dew" of spring and generation


Further:

The twin flames - not siblings but one soul in two bodies. 

The cloth is soaked with Amrit- the elixir of immortality. 

Mutus Liber (after its creation 40 or 50 days besides your pillow). The first day must be in a full moon or in a (רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ) Rosh Chodesh if it's possible. 

10 (1) a man and (0) a woman (Don't forget the path of the light after the Aleph (א)). 

Spring means Samhain for Celts and Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה) for the Hebrew.
 
Postscript: It's the middle of your ego in a scale (10) (א): Human being or (גּוֹלֶם) a golem?

Nothwithstanding applications in physics and mathematics, infinity could be a semantic illusion




















According to the definition in wikipedia:  "Infinity (symbol: ) is an abstract concept describing something without any limit and is relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics." 

Evidently, however, representations (and any possible representations, we wonder)  of infinity are either 1) a semantic or mathematical construction; that is, a conceptual illusion; or 2) an optical illusion. 

Can something both exist and not have any limit?  

Time? But time is a perception, a perception of change. 

Space?  But, beyond star-filled space, can something that is "empty" go on forever and be said to actually exist?

Vitasta Raina - Art and the 9-to-5 Life

"So here I am, working a 9-to-5 to support my own artistic inclinations. All around me, I see friends who have been able to break away from this life spliced into time slots. Some have moved out of the city to beach towns, some to mountainous rural terrains. A life I could lead, perhaps, if I was brave enough and ambitious enough, and if I had organized my works and wares better, kept on keeping on. But here I am instead, organizing a retirement plan, looking at completing side-quests and wondering if I could approach a library to host my books. Life, dreams, age old dilemmas..."
