I recently borrowed the entire series from a friend and finished it in less than a week. The pacing really brought the story to life, and I'm glad I didn't have to wait for the next issue to be released to dive in. I have a bit of a fetish for old school keys, so there was eye candy on every page. There is something about the darkness of pain and tragedy and the driven goodness and family ties that balance it out which make for a deep experience with literary tales. The Sandman remains my favorite series but Locke & Key has earned a place in ink on my comic book leg.
Truth, Chaos, Evolution.

Snagged from Free Will Astrology
The oracle below is excerpted from the book PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings.
*
"The Eskimos had 52 names for snow because it was important to them," wrote novelist Margaret Atwood. "There ought to be as many for love."
Here are a few that the ancient Greeks devised, according to Lindsay Swope in her review of Richard Idemon's book Through the Looking Glass.
Epithemia is the basic need to touch and be touched. Our closest approximation is "horniness," though epithemia is not so much a sexual feeling as a sensual one.
Philia is friendship. It includes the need to admire and respect your friends as a reflection of yourself—like in high school, where you want to hang out with the cool kids because that means you're cool too.
Eros isn't sexual in the way we usually think, but is more about the emotional gratification that comes from merging souls.
Agape is a mature, utterly free expression of love that has no possessiveness. It means wanting the best for another person even if it doesn't advance your self-interest

The Word
Verisimilitude is a philosophical or theoretical concept that distinguishes truth and falsity of assertions or hypotheses. The problem of verisimilitude is the problem of articulating what it takes for one false theory to be closer to the truth than another false theory.
This problem was central to the philosophy of Karl Popper, largely because Popper was among the first to affirm that truth is the aim of scientific inquiry while acknowledging that most of the greatest scientific theories in the history of science are, strictly speaking, false. If this long string of purportedly false theories is to constitute progress with respect to the goal of truth then it must be at least possible for one false theory to be closer to the truth than others.

Monasticism (from Greek μοναχός, monachos, derived from μόνος, monos, "alone") is a religious way of life that involves renouncing worldly pursuits to fully devote one's self to spiritual work. The origin of the word is from Ancient Greek, and the idea originally related to Buddhist monks in 550 BC.

It's been busy working on new designs and securing funding to launch them. The word of the week is coming fewer then every week. Do not be disappointed... now it will just be The Word and I shall update as frequently as possible.
Attrition: wearing down by friction, erosion; rubbing; weakening by constant harassing or abuse
Attrition is one of the ways the current system forces those in a lower economic class to be forced into economic slavery, whether by intent or by default of the way things happened to become it must be changed. Perhaps we should start to weaken those forces that work against us rather then allow ourselves to be weakened by them.

Word of the Week
Rather then a definition, this week I bring you an explanation. For those who haven't looked into it..
-Nibiru (also transliterated Neberu, Nebiru) is a term in the Akkadian language, translating to "crossing" or "point of transition", especially of rivers[1], i.e. river crossings or ferry-boats. In Babylonian astronomy, nibiru (in cuneiform spelled dné-bé-ru or MULni-bi-rum) is a term of the highest point of the ecliptic, i.e. the point of summer solstice, and its associated constellation. The establishment of the nibiru point is described in tablet 5 of the creation epic Enûma Eliš"- (excerpted from Wikipedia)
It has been come to be known as "the planet of the crossing" since it is theorized to cross paths with us. Many ancient Sumerian and Babylonian texts refer to it as the home of the Annunaki/Elohim/etc
Modern theories are greatly varied, only minor scientific information has come from NASA and other astronomers who know that something is out there causing a pull on the orbits of our outlying planets. The 90s was full of reports on Planet X, which has been compounded in theory to be one and the same as Nibiru.
One theorist explains"Planet Nibiru (Ne.Bi.Ru) is known by many names, such as: Planet X, The Twelfth Planet, Marduk, Paradise, "Heaven" and the "Kingdom of the Heavens" and etc. in various cultures. Although Nibiru has been called The Twelfth Planet, technically it is not a planet of our solar system. In fact, it is a planet from another solar system and the star that was the sun of its solar system has been extinguished. Nibiru was never visible from the Earth but the star which was the centre of Nibiru’s solar system was visible in the skies from Earth. The orbiting pattern of Nibiru gave the Anunnaki the advantage of having a mobile observatory from which they could observe and investigate many other planets near its orbit."
Deconstructionists of the theory include the following idea:
"Planet-X (the one associated with the Big 2012 Hoax) is a completely separate fake planet, invented by Nancy in the mid 1990s. In her story, Nancy claims that she was abducted by aliens who implanted a special receiver in her brain. They use the receiver to send her secret messages.
In one such message (she claims), they warned her about a rogue planet that would come through our solar system, pass too close to Earth and cause all kinds of global problems (tsunamis, earthquakes, pole flips...). 90% of the Earth population was going to die.
"Friends" of Nancy turned this story into a hoax, telling people that the only way to survive was to buy their book (on how to survive) and to buy seats on a rescue craft sent by the aliens.
The date of doomsday was... May 13, 2003.
Meanwhile, real astronomers discover a real object way out there in the Kuyper belt. This new object had nothing to do with neither the Planet-X of the hoax, nor with Nibiru. But this new object is bigger than Pluto, so the astronomer who discovered it thought that it would become the 10th planet."
In this explination all the current speculation on Nibiru is based on a handful of people who were just making stuff up, but there really is a distant object, of what importance it is no naysayers have speculated
If there is a timeline to the closest proximity this distant "planet" will reach and possibly cause an effect on the earth, it will be near impossible to pin down the date, 2003 and 2012 are guesses, other guesses have been stated as 2085. I don't believe our current dating systems for ancient documents and objects are as accurate as the scientists who use them want to believe, it really is all guess work. With that in mind there is no way to accurately predict the length of the cycle or the exact date the last "crossing" occurred.
I personally believe our alignment with the center of the galaxy is what we should be worried about. The Mayan calendar signals an end to the current era and the beginning of a new era at the same time the earth aligns with the sun which aligns with the central force that keeps our galaxy together. Sounds like a better reason for a gravitational pull then another planet.

axion: self-evident or universally recognized truth; a maxium - established rule, principle or law (a postulate)
An example of this would be that light eradicates dark to the extent that it continues to travel. Darkness is created when light is obstructed. As an artist I often explore that darkness, for in darkness a plethora of things which cannot be seen in the light can be experienced.
