Fast Formal Flight
Water wells up; water crashes downslope.
Nature builds deltas,
But mind makes water-works.
The early brain surgeon's flowing current
Found mind's door in the brain's vault walls!
With his current he could close, but not open, the door.
(The Evil one speaks:
Hush, hush, my tasty ones,
For there's no Name beyond my images.
Rejoice in them, so quick, so sly,
so touched with sheen.)
But, through the Name, mind can open doors
And pass over the sheen of troubled waters.
Want unity in Name's Joy.

(“Brain Surgeon”, see Wilder Penfield, The Mystery of the Mind, Princeton University Press, 1974.)
Penfield had an insight that the facultative cerebral cortex is where the mind acts upon and directs the activity of the body. He also asked the question: Could the mind have a different kind of energy than that by which his "flowing current" closed the door to the mind's activity?
He was in verbal communication with his epileptic patients and he knew their intentions in the conversations he held with them on the operating table— looking for the site of their epileptic seizures. He could close "the door" to the mind's intended words with his hand-held electrode. And he could open the door by removing the electrode’s effect.
My own meta theory of live Things and quick Things will be developed in future posts. It involves the simplicity of spiritual creatures and the composite nature and motion of biological creatures. Spiritual creatures participate in the making of material Things at the command of the Second Person of the Trinity.
My work is probably influenced by Penfield's work, but originates before The Mystery of the Mind was published. He makes the useful distinction of material Thing (brain) and spiritual-like Thing, mind, operating in a feedback of different energies within the unity of the material body.
The energy of the mind is essentially non-entropic In its movements, as contrasted with entropic motions, following entropy. Movements make the ages (eras) that play at many scales of motions.
Ages, as movements are uniquely restorable by the Firstborn and movements restored can transform motions which played a part in the entropic activity of the age, e.g., Penfield's operations on his epileptic patients.
So, in the Myth Meta Model the advancing front of actual time is formed by participation in divine synchronicity while the durations of actual time are established by parsable movements of live Things. This can’t make much sense, but hopefully will become understandable by means of future posts.
But, do you get the drift? It’s subtle.
