My memory was in error in my last blog post when I suggested that Ernmas mother of Eriu and the Morrhigan was a widow of the Fir Bolg King.

she is Tuatha De all the way, I think - I Think? I was thinking of Tlaitu, Lugh's foster mother.

                                                       I Think

I did not check my story details as it was part of a sacred magical tradition memory game ~~~

while the Star Trek episode was specifically referenced in detail online from a few different web sites.

The Imaginative process is an exercise in mind powers, psychic abilities, out of body experience, dream travel, as well as empathetic understanding and spiritual intercourse.

Observation and recognition are often portrayed as the most human- sacred-smart process fixed on subjects and objects, measurements references and records

 yet reaction to changes in surroundings is the basic survival function of all life, even those without observable anatomical senses or nervous systems.

Somehow there is an environmental awareness of the surroundings that affects the behavior choices or options of all individuals compounded and accelerated in groups and groupings influencing attention.

                                                           We Feel

                                                  maybe everything feels 

Viewing habits are part of a stimulation of appetite for entertainment, safety, socialization, sacred stuff.

The comfort and action narrative and the internal identification/ perception shift that takes place among those witnessing or engaging and participating as relevant to Life Experience, wisdom or mind snack.

cultural currents crossover with cult developments contemporary and ancient.

 what is notable, popular, the structures forms relating the inside with the outside. 

From fixed stories corresponding to constellations of the changing night sky of the Proto Pagan Past

to Broadcast Network Executives comparing ratings of competing programing in a weekly time slot.

 characters and conflict combined with meaning repeated when they return to view.

                      the vigor remains                 Idolatry as a process of adoration,

 REMAINING VIGOR

yup that seems to be what it's about.

I have observed that vigor in potted trees will distribute itself from branch to tip in a different fashion season to season- a will of their own- a character unique.

This investment in growth direction is part of a predetermined process and pattern in place before the emergent phenomenon -is the spirit or idea of future Life.

Individual growth pathways are limited by circumstance and challenged by existence- the cards you are dealt are yours to play as you wish.

Group behavior is a weird forecast and a risky investment in changing times- all institutions are shaky

The Bogus and ridiculous have never been so obvious

OUR VIGOR REMAINS

The bit above a clipped response to an old friend from the scene in the city crowned with my painting of Dian Cecht the elder Physician of the Tuatha De Dannan -

whos' first son Cian assisted by Mannanan Mac Lir travel to the isolated island hide away fortress of Balor the elder Fomorian - where he hid his daughter Ethne at the top of the tower's sunroom.

Guarded by mist attended by maidens impregnated by De Dannan outside of their claimed territory.

An unexpected illegitimate origin story for the many skilled god Lugh!

Balor/Fomorian grandfather = Lugh = Dian Cecht/ De Dannan grand father

The questions of truth and legitimacy of conduct are parallel in Ernmas the widowed Fir Bolg queen

whos' daughter Eriu is impregnated on the shore by a Fomorian prince with a kingdom elsewhere.

The child of accelerated growth and vigor was none other than Bress the beautiful who is wed to Brighid daughter of the Daghda to take over as unblemished and perfect Chief of the Tuatha De Dannan from Nuadu the original leader wounded in the first war with the Fir Bolg.

The need for a replacement made obvious by the battlefield prosthetic arm crafted by Dian Cecht.

Bress takes over the rule of the De Dannan not showing proper respect for his father-in-law and his wife's people during his reign,

Their only child, a son Ruadon  is killed during the war between the Fomorian and the De Dannan when trying to use the magical weapon of the De Dannan against its maker the smith Gobhanon of the trio of artists producing the armaments for the De Dannan war effort.

Dian Cecht acted as the chief of the trio of menders in the war between Fomorian and De Dannan his son Miach and daughter Airmed joining him at a specially prepared spring-well-pool of regenerative healing within the territory of the De Dannan.

There Dian Cecht repeatedly strikes and eventually kills his son Miach, as the story is told -

although he reappears later to aid in the trio of menders in the final battle where Lugh kills Balor and Bress surrenders claim to territory and agricultural secrets to the De Dannon.

Thats my memory of things

based on the translations I read

the spelling is maybe all wrong

I think it's not my memory alone

somehow similar to this blog tittle

 taken from an original Television series episode fifty-two 2nd season.

Captain Kirk takes a party from his Starship Enterprise to a planet involved in a long destructive domestic conflict between the Yangs and the Khoms to witness the sacred ritual of the Yangs with a tattered remnant of a flag of the United States of America!

Captain Kirk recognizes the holy words of the preamble of the constitution and blows their minds with his insights of their imperfect memory-spiritual revelation-social development...The Prime Directive???

Violated by a fellow Starfleet captain using his weaponry to win the war for the Yangs

 I did not remember that a virus and a biosphere immunity were involved in the story written by the show's creator Gene Roddenberry.

Doctor McCoy played a role - cross kingdom pollination

yet there is this poetomythic memory or association

based on the episode I have watched

originally picked up by adjusting an antenna on my mom's roof to get channel 50 out of Detroit- where Star Trek was in syndication.

Before the remakes. before cable TV, before the internet, before I had read translations of Irish Myth.

I felt like the naive savage with torn banner and garbled words - especially when first learning and performing ADF druid ritual with other people in front of all our collected kindred spirits.

Thats my memory of things

 VERY SPECIFIC PLACES

Remaining Vigor

talking timing texture training

 All of us conditioned from childhood to redirect irrational fear of the invisible monster of the dark.

The menacing sensation under the bed or in the closet, a spooky feeling that hid away from company.

Trained to disengage our personal imaginative capacity

 in favor of the interactive experience of being stimulated by another 

A physical form familiar orienting referencing reminding us that we exist in a shared circumstance.

A lateral perceptual experience of acknowledging the expressions of others in our surroundings.

No Spirit or soul in stuff or time...

All aspects of individuation are an enhanced attribute byproduct of human imagination

People and popularity are the perpetuators plainly presented

property ownership the sense of belonging bought and paid for

collective fear is directed as distrust

fitting in, or social acceptance becomes the invisible monster of the individual imaginative interior.

Cultivated Life lessons about world view impact generations and populations behavior as a group

the people story sensationalized passed on as product to people proliferating and promoting progress

could convenient corporate control corrupt collective community consciences communication collapse

Climate of catastrophe as commodity

Labels - Name Brands-uniforms and menus are useful tools for fulfilling expectations between consumer and producer bringing more lawful legitimacy and credibility to the exchange of objects and services

The reverse seems to hold true as a generality

 for groupings of people+ spirits or gods over time and place.

Commercially, politicly, philosophically, spiritually, organically 

ALL are living growing changing beings.

Traditional self-identification in ways of being

 spooked by the glamor of the labor-saving device 

empowered lifestyle evolving marketing

Maybe people feel different about who they are and how they are expected to behave with their peers in the community, challenging authority claiming independence from the whole as presented in the past

I overheard one of the other educators repeating the line 

from the organizations continuously updated program training manual

 while cleaning up and reviewing the day

my first of this season

 after the buses had pulled away.

I'm pretty sure it has been in the manual with context and explanation all along 

to give the organization its unique qualities character identity spirit soul.

I understand the reasoning and agree with the approach

 sometimes I struggle with aspect and application 

my personal abilities and the immediate situational response.

This season I identified with the excited hand in the air 

obvious awkward

enthusiastic responder who feels unrecognized.

I naturally feel an immediacy to question-answer ritualized activity and the truthfulness of it.

Life as quiz -game-puzzle

As a child unaware of the objective of moderating group activity

I would feel that something

disingenuous was taking place 

with the interaction and exchange

 of engagement and attention

of appreciation and respect

Teachers-students- classes -schooling seemed to involve mind reading 

Tuning in or tuning out to the expressions of other individuals' thoughts

Understanding being the goal of sincere compassionate communication,

Influence being the goal of that other non-poetic human manipulation tool.

Meanings Minds Memorys Motivations Multiplying Magical Metaphors

The patterns reproduced as framework of control over the environment of experience.

I began the season especially sensitive to all this teacher - student - class -school- feeling

having enrolled in a computer platform myself and My Son's finishing up at Bard.

The graduation ceremony held under a very large series of tall tents would not accept the gathered attendees until the required amount of time had passed since the last lightning event taking place.

This was not My Alma Mater where my druid thing started

This was the place my buddy Bill talked about in Jersey City post college nostalgia as

 We made regular seasonal ritual

Sacred opportunity for worship

Sacrifice for the Earth Mother and many others

what you might call Green Man Grove ADF

presumably a proto priesthood period for my person

My Wife -mother of the graduate was not part of any vision that I had received early on,

connected to prayers answered and sacred ritual since midsummer of ninety-nine

Grove organizer of Our Whole Grove protogrove ADF the whole time

 she was driving the car-had packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cookies, snacks, water and umbrellas

The back seat carried special guests, old friends,

the god father Frank - wearing my dad's jacket was unfamiliar with the school

My best man Lee worked played lived there and abouts - in his youth

knowing a place   filled up with places with spaces and places of their own

All voluntary relationships of mutual learning sharing and appreciation

People I have partied and played with

 prayed with

This Life Experience as perceived and pondered

personal peer perceptual projectors protectors proponents

Ritual Ceremony 2hours late 4 hours long,

Lots of Latin, packed in a crowd with uncomfortable chairs unreasonably close with the best view of the back of the persons head  sitting in front of you.

Funny because who ever sat behind me... saw me/knows me from the vantage point I am most unaware.

Observing the accomplishments of the many devoted and hard working souls

students structured and presented in parade viewed live or at an odd angle on wide screen above.

I got through it with the good company assembled 

My buddy Bill joining as we lined up to enter the tents slipping in and out of familiar ground/space.

My Wifes peanut butter and jelly keeping me from falling off my chair on to the guest of another graduate..

Eventually it was over,

The regimented formality of order

to give the organization its unique qualities character identity spirit soul.

From the perspective of My son and his peers

The last week was a mirror of their first week with the campus to themselves.

4 years later

It ends with your class dressing up in ritual garb

 lining up and waiting for your name to be called

to be recognized

after waiting your turn

and learning your place

with the characteristic imprint of that group bond/brand

moderated group activity/ experience

                something

             was taking place
