Neurogastroenterology: WHAT?!?!

Neurogastroenterology: WHAT?!?!

Did u know there are neurons on your heart and intestines? FYI, neurons are brain cells. So what are they doing in your gut? Hmm, maybe now we know the 'real' meaning behind the phrase 'gut feeling?' :) The gut has second most neurons as the brain and is known as the 'second brain.' 

There's a lot of neural tissue filled with important neurotransmitters, which reveals that it does much more than digestion or inflict the occasional nervous pang ('butterflies'. The little brain in our innards, in connection with the big one in our skulls, partly determines our mental state and plays key roles in certain diseases throughout the body.

Technically they're known as the enteric nervous system. The second brain consists of sheaths of neurons embedded in the walls of the long tube of our gut, or alimentary canal, which measures about 30' end to end from the esophagus to Uranus. The second brain contains some 100 million neurons, more than in either the spinal cord or the peripheral nervous system!

Although its influence is far-reaching, the second brain is not the seat of any conscious thoughts or decision-making. SO don't think with your stomach, your eyes probably will be too big for it.

The neurons in the enteric nervous system enable us to "feel" the inner world of our gut and its contents. Much of this neural firepower comes to bear in the elaborate daily grind of digestion. Breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and expelling of waste requires chemical processing, mechanical mixing and rhythmic muscle contractions that move everything on down the line.

Equipped with its own reflexes and senses, the second brain can control gut behavior independently of the brain. Nerves perform digestion and excretion "on site," rather than remotely from our brains through the middleman of the spinal cord. The enteric nervous system uses more than 30 neurotransmitters, just like the brain, and in fact 95 percent of the body's serotonin is found in the bowels.

SO why do I know this? Trivial pursuit champion? No. I'm always sick so this matters to me. Why? Well, scientists were shocked to learn that about 90 percent of the fibers in the primary visceral nerve, the vagus, carry information from the gut to the brain and not the other way around. God designed my guts to alert my brain something is wrong. Whats wrong is another story!

Its JUST a gut feeling.

Introduction to Biblical Numerology

Introduction to Biblical Numerology 

I've always been in treated in numbers, math, patterns and the like. I even met my wife beck of math! I knew it so well I took science lest I be bored and there she was. Always try yourself to get better not get the easiest path. :) 

Now that I have some more time following retirement from the pastorate of 30+ yrs I can spend and share some of that. I hope its useful but frankly I need to practice writing, keeping busy, etc so its a selfish project I suppose.

It seems quite obvious that the Bible uses numbers in patterns. Who can deny that 40 is significant. Jesus was in the desert for 40 days and the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years. Whether or not the analysis of these number patterns are accurate is up for debate. But I present to you this information condensed from the book, Number in Scripture by Bullinger.
 He's not 'easy' to read and will see patterns you never imagined possible in the figures and speech of Bible but well worth reading. 

One of the interesting features of Hebrew and Greek is that in both written languages there are no numeric characters. Where we have numbers and letters, they have only letters. So, in each language, the letters are also used as numbers. In a small way we do the same thing in English. For example is "O" a zero or a letter of in the alphabet. Is "l" a one or a small L? When they are used, the context tells us which is which and we have no problem understanding it. The same goes for Hebrew and Greek. They knew when they were writing numbers and when they were writing letters.
 

But the interesting thing is that when a word is written, it also has a numeric equivalent. For example, the word "Jesus" in Greek is "iasous." Since each letter has a numeric equivalent, we can add up each number and get a value. The value is the gammatria. Therefore, the gammatria of "Jesus" in Greek is 888 because i = 10 a = 8 s = 200 o = 70 u = 400 s = 200. There are many interesting ‘gammatria games' that can be played with this feature of Greek and Hebrew and much of it is absurd. But, some of the numeric relationships are interesting. 
 Whether or not the numbers really do have a significance is still debated in many circles. Nevertheless, I present the information for your examination. There should be no doubt that there is significance in numbers, only debate over what that significance is. Here’s some basic info to help you interpret correctly.

These are my thots using Bullinger's work to provide the basis of what you see below.

1 THE NUMBER OF UNITY. Father. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Ephesians 4:5 "one Lord, one faith, one baptism."

2 THE NUMBER OF DIVISION. The Son who has two natures: human and divine. There are 2 Testaments: the Old and New. Man is Male and Female. Rom. 9 speaks of two vessels: one for honorable use and the other for dishonorable use. Two types of people: Sheep and Goats. There are two ages, this age and the age to come: Matt. 12:32; 13:39,40,49; Mark 10:30.

3 THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There are three qualities of the universe: Time, Space, and Matter. To exist (except for God), all three are required. Each quality consists of three elements. Therefore, we live in a trinity of trinities.
- The three qualities of universe are each three:

Time temporal:. Past, Present, Future 

Time universal: Lighttime, Gravitytime, and Spacetime
Mass’s 3 dimensions: Height, Width, Depth 

Mass’s 3 states: Solid, Liquid, Gas

We live in a Trinity of Trinities: Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made…"

If you are a trichotomist then man is made of three parts:Body, Soul, Spirit

Human abilities are three: Thought, Word, Deed

The divine attributes are three fold: God is: Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent

Three bear witness (1 John 5:8): Spirit, Water, Blood

Christ is Three Shepherds:
The Good Shepherd (John 10:14-15) - speaking of His death
The Great Shepherd (Heb. 13:20) - speaking of His resurrection
The Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4) - speaking of His glory

3 Appearances of Christ:
Has appeared (Heb. 9:26) to put away sin
Is appearing (Heb. 9:24) in the presence of God
Will appear (Heb. 9:28) to those who await Him

The Father spoke from Heaven three times:
Matt. 3:17, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Matt. 17:5, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him."
John 12:28, "I have both glorified it [the Father's name], and will glorify it again.”

Both the Tabernacle and the Temple consisted of three parts:

Regarding the Tabernacle: The Court, The Holy Place, and The Sanctuary

The Holy of Holies was a cube (10 cubits x 10 cubits x 10 cubits)

4 THE NUMBER OF CREATION - North, South, East, West; 4 Seasons. The 4th commandment is the first that refers to the earth. The 4th clause of the Lord's Prayer is the first that mentions the earth. The materials of the tabernacle were four and so were the coverings and the ornamentations.

5 THE NUMBER OF GRACE. Redemption. Israel came out of Egypt 5 in rank (Ex 13:18). David picked up 5 smooth stone to fight Goliath (1 Sam. 17:40). The Holy Anointing Oil was pure and composed of 5 parts (Ex. 30:23-25).

6 THE NUMBER OF MAN: Man was created on the 6th day. Man labors 6 days only. The Serpent was created on the 6th day. The 6th commandment is "Thou shalt not murder." Six words are used for man: Adam, ish, Enosh, gehver, anthropos, anar. Also, 6 x 6 = 36. 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 . . . 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 666. 666 is the number of the antichrist. This means that the name of the antichrist in Greek adds up to 666. This is a mockery of the Trinity.

7 THE NUMBER OF SPIRITUAL PERFECTION. Seven days in a week. Seven colors in the spectrum. Seven of the 10 commandments begin with the word "not." There are 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 parables in Matthew, and 7 promises to the churches. There are 7 "eternals" in Hebrews which are: A priest for ever (1:6); Eternal salvation (1:9); Eternal judgment (6:2); eternal redemption (9:12); eternal spirit (9:14); eternal inheritance (9:15); and everlasting covenant (13:20). Jesus said 7 things on the cross: 1) Luke 23:34 "Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots; 2) Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise"; 3) Matthew 27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" -- which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"; 4) John 19:26 "When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son"; 5) John 19:28 "Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." 6) John 19:30 "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit"; and 7) Luke 23:46 "Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last." "Hallelujah" occurs 28 times or 4 x 7. "Hosanna" occurs 7 times. "Milk" occurs 49 times or 7 x 7. "Abaddon" occurs 7 times. "After the order of Melchizedek" occurs 7 times.

8 THE NUMBER OF NEW BEGINNINGS. 8 people on Noah's Ark (2 Pet. 2:5); circumcision on 8th day (Gen. 17:12); God made 8 covenants with Abraham

9 THE NUMBER OF JUDGMENT. There are 9 greek words derived from the root word meaning judgment = dikay. The following words each occur 9 times in the Bible: abussos (bottomless pit); asebee (ungodly); aselgeia (lasciviousness); and astrapee (lightning). The gifts of the spirit are 9 in number (1 Cor. 12:8-10): the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues.

10 THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. There are 10 commandments (Ex. 20); 1/10 of your income is a tithe; the were 10 plagues on Egypt (Ex. 9:14ff); 10 x 10 silver sockets formed the foundation of the Tabernacle (Ex 38:27); There are 10 "I AM's spoken by Jesus in John: 1) I am the Bread of Life (6:35); 2) I am the Bread of Life which came down from heaven (6:41); 3) I am the Living Bread (6:51); 4) I am the Light of the world (8:12); 5) I am One that bears witness of Myself (8:18); 6) I am the Door of the sheep (10:7,9); 7) I am the Good Shepherd (10:14); 8) I am the Resurrection and the Life (14:6); 9) I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life (11:25); and 10) I am the True Vine (15:1,5).

12 THE NUMBER OF GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION. There were 12 tribes of Israel; 12 Apostles, 12 foundations in the heavenly Jerusalem; 12 gates; 12 pearls; 12 angels. The measurements of New Jerusalem are 12,000 furlongs or stadia, while the wall will be 144 (12 x 12) cubits (Rev. 21:16-17).

40 THE NUMBER OF PROBATION OR TRIAL. The Israelites wandered for 40 years (Deut. 8:2-5). Moses was on the mount for 40 days (Exodus 24:18); 40 days of Jonah and Nineveh (Jonah 3:4). Jesus was tempted for 40 days (Matt. 4:2).
153 In John 21:11, after the resurrection the disciples caught 153 fish. The word fish in Greek is 'ixthus' which has a numerical equivalent of 1224, or 8 x 153. Remember, which is Jesus Christ is 888. 153 people received a blessing from Jesus in the four gospel (not counting the 5000 and examples like that).

The 7 Biblical Categories of the Image of God in Mankind

The 7 Biblical Categories of the Image of God in Mankind

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27) This verse contains the origin of success in biblically restoring mankind to his soul’s roots in divine creation made in the image of God. All biblical counselling succeeds when it is able to share Scriptural teaching that the essence of man consists in that he is the made in the image of God. To counsel man is to know him. “The image of God in humanity is critical to our understanding of what makes us human.” 1 (Millard J. Erickson, Christian Theology, 2nd ed. (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1998), 517.)

A foundational understanding of man’s creation on Day 6 in the image and likeness of God is crucial to a deeper knowledge of who we are and how we can offer proper counsel. Understanding this ‘image of God’ in its biblical categories will allow us to use a proper counselling foundation. The biblical counsellor can share that He is different from all other creatures and stands as the head of His divine creation and that man was created in the image and after the likeness of God, Gen. 1:26,27; 9:6. 1 (Jas. 3:9 also speaks of man as as bearing the image of God, and I Cor. 11:7; 15:49.) The doctrine of the image of God in man is of the greatest importance in theology. It isn’t a question of whether we had ‘original righteousness’ in Adam, but that the image of God is the expression of what is most distinctive in man and in his relation to God.

1) Creative- The Hebrew language of verse 27 makes it clear that God’s image in mankind depicts humanity as distinct from animals. 2 (Anthony A. Hoekema, Created in God’s Image (Carlisle, U.K.; Grand Rapids, Mich.: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994), 12.)
Animals are wonderfully uncreative. They do not change the world they live in. The creativity we observe in them is instinctive. So birds build their nests but every year it has the same design. They never think to build on an extension, create a loft conversion or develop their skills. They just do the same old instinctive thing.

2) Intelligent-Mankind possesses in very small measure a capacity for understanding and rational thought. The psalmist wrote, "Do not be like the horse and mule which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle" (Ps 32:8–9). Human intelligence is unlike anything found in the animal kingdom. We ponder the meaning of our existence, the significance of our actions and the prospects of our destiny. Unlike animals, man is a thinker and capable of being instructed and growing in understanding.

3) Aesthetic-Thirdly then, our capacity to appreciate beauty. Genesis 2:9, "The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye." God is not only the great artist who made a beautiful creation but has made us in his image so that we can appreciate beauty.

4) Moral-Fourthly, we are moral. Scripture is replete in man’s moral obligation as a result of being cerated in the image of the holy God. Matthew 15:19, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.” Also Romans 3:10, “as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE.” The creator God, the mind behind the universe, was the artist who designed a beautiful world and created mankind who could understand his moral character & purposes. Animals suffer from fear but as far as we can tell, they have no natural sense of guilt or awareness of good and evil choices.

5) Relational-People’s dominant theme of human existence, as reflected in stories and music the world over, is about relationships. In a word, Love. God is love, and its not hard to see how we we created in His image to reflect that love in our relationships.

6) Spiritual-God is Spirit, and it is but natural to expect that this element of spirituality also finds expression in man as the image of God. And that this is so is already indicated in the narrative of man’s creation. God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Gen. 2:7. The “breath of life” is the principle of his life, and the “living soul” is the very being of man when created in the image of God.

7) Glory-Man’s dominion over the lower creation formed a part of the image of God. It is indicative of the glory and honour with which man is crowned, Ps. 8:5,6.
All these themes challenge our humanity and ask us if we are really alive as He created?

Are we creative, thinking, artistic, moral, relational beings, who glorify God? How we doing on all biblical categories? We well-balanced individuals when giving proper attention to each category of life.

Now an image is but a reflection of the original. Sometimes the image may be hazy and distorted. But it does not exist on its own. Beyond the image is the reality. The Image of God in us not only helps us to see who we really are, but also reveals God to us.

Logic Down Deep in your Spirit, Soul, and Body

Logic Down Deep in your Spirit, Soul, and Body

Logos, ethos, and pathos can all be appropriate at different times. They correspond to the Spirit, soul, and body. Know when to use them. 

Aristotle comments on the three modes by stating:
"Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration, since we are most fully persuaded when we consider a thing to have been demonstrated. Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds…"

1. Spirit- Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal CHARACTER when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. ...

2. Body-Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers, when the speech stirs their EMOTIONS. ...

3. Soul-Thirdly, persuasion is effected through the speech itself when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means of the persuasive ARGUMENTS suitable to the case in question. — Aristotle, Rhetoric, 350 BC

Observations:
1. Don't misunderstand reason and logic for emotionless debate.

2. Spending on the circumstances/individual one persuasive argument may be best over another.

3. An argument can include all 3 persuasions and can be ordered for maximum effect. Plan your logic according to whether you're reaching the spirit, soul, or body. Need to appeal to their moral/ethical make up (spirit), their mental/logical side (soul/mind/heart), and their feelings (body.)

Who are You?

Who Are You?

Who are you? Can you find it out in your head? Can you figure it out staring into space despite what your Mom said?  U’d be surprised!;) 

Metaphysical cosmology is our place in the universe in relationship to all other things. Marcus Aurelius was down on this idea and spoke of a man's place in the cosmos stating how u learn about urself: 

"He who does not know what the world is does not know where he is, and he who does not know for what purpose the world exists, does not know who he is, nor what the world is."

How the Universe, Milky Way, Earth, and Cells are the Same

How the Universe, Milky Way, Earth, and Cells are the Same

The Strange Similarity of Neuron and Galaxy Networks - Issue 50: Emergence - Nautilus

I think this is not only true but they forgot 1 too. The universe is also like galaxies and cells. At the center of each is a nuclei. 

In the case of the universe its a black hole acted upon by the 3 universal forces of light, gravity light/mass. They all operate using E=MC2, light/mass's equation distributed into Mass, Gravity, and Space. 

Lighttime is a light-constant. It operates by electromagnetic/chemical processes. It extends from the cellular/atomic level to the place of its no return at the black hole. In theory the black hole is the super nuclear source of the nuclear cells. 

Gravitytime is gravity-constant and operates by gravitational forces. 

Spacetime is space-constant. Altho unconfirmed a non baryon particle accounts for the so far massless mass of space. Thus seen all three contain the constant of light. Each is nothing without the other two. 

Light is the time keeper for all. Light, gravity and space are all mass, all gravitationally affrcted and each in space. 3 in 1. If you like inversions the black hole as the source of making celestials like stars and planets, also makes life as gravity forces 'holding’ elements/particles constructed/constricted by attraction together in orbits repelled by their chemical/electromagnetic forces interacted upon by gravity. Seen this way the cells are like like black holes that grew up to be just like Daddy Earth who gave birth to them in his own 'black hole' core forced out very gravitationally to be life and air and water and elements etc. 

And Grandpa Big Black Hole at the center of the Universe must be pleased that his progeny is doing what they were made for. Spacetime is a constant, as is Lightime (it IS the constant of Space) and also Gravitytime. 

All three are constants bcz of Light. Light makes gravity and space have their own constants like three in one. So to review we got cells, celestial galaxies and continuum black holes and they ALL are alike. 🤗🤯🤭😁

Musicologist’s View of Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Freebird

In #Neuromusicology there's a concept called #spatialorganization. I contend uncontentiously that #Freebird is a perfect definition for the idea of an expert #musicalperformance. It demands precise #sequencing (#isochronous) but also spatial organization of movements. (i.e. the #crowd or #audience). Ronnie was a master at it. He founded #LynryrdSkynyrd with #GaryRossington (LG), #AllenCollins(LG), #LarryJunstrom (bass guitar) and #BobBurns (drums). Band on stage includes #LeonWilkeson playing bass and #ArtemisPyle on drums.

The Knebworth crowd. 

Not many study these #complexmotorcontrols to distinguished between sequential and #spatialorganization and their roles in spatial organization yet #expertmusicalperformancesdemand not only precise sequencing but also spatial organization of movements. Studies in animals and humans have established the involvement of #parietal, #sensorymotor and #premotorcortices in the control of movements, when the integration of spatial, sensory and motor information is required. Not many have directly examined the role of #spatialprocessing in the context of #musical tasks as evidenced such as thru a live recording and video makes possible.

Ronnie sings in the first part.

Let's start w/ the music. How about one of the best songs ever? Freebird. No debates. lol I'll show u how I see this seminal event for Skynyrd at the '76 Knebworth concert as the back-up band to the #RollingStones.
Some of what II tell u comes by patching together stuff I've seen and heard thru the yrs like documentaries, lyrics, YT videos, etc.

This guy looks SO content.

So b4 u read it and remember it all let me ask this, "If I leave (this post) here will still remember me?" ;) fyi #KathyCollins spoke this words yrs earlier during an argument over what Allen loved movie, his guitar or her. Allen made her never forget. And we can't forget now either. Thx Kathy! (remember her pic standing b4 the sea with white doves flying up on either side of her in. white dress? Freebird/s? ;)
...from this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuZyMx2NXZM 

Woodstock looking couple listens.

1. Freebird was written when Allen was in HS at @ aged 17. 2yrs b4 anybody in Skynyrd saw/heard it.

Allen Collins on the 1st part about to play his best ever.

2. The opening line, "If I leave here tomorrow will u still remember me?" was spoken to Allen Collins the author by his girl friend Kathy. When Ronnie sings those opening words (I saw it on chorus too) he blinks and looks up as if acknowledging that if its today then like before the plane crash, he’s ready. Spooky!

Ronnie looks to stage right and seems to acknowledge someone with those opening words. Is he looking at Kathy? 

3. Its in 3 parts. 1-Slow beginning from 0:00-6:45 mark. 2-Band members faster part from 6:45-10 min mark. And 3-at 10 min mark till the long dragged out end. The finale is ALL Allen Collins.
During the 2nd part the 3 lead guitarists go out as far as their cords will allow. Bassist Leon Wilkerson goes bit too far for his cord and has to twist back. Ronnie has it almost ready for Allen to cut loose in HIS 3rd part.

Another cool Woodstockian couple. Their eyes are incredible!

4. Freebird was Skynyrd's closing song, usu done in tribute to slide guitar great #DuaneAllman. The song wasn't planned as their closing song but circumstances dictated and they adjusted. Well. Hear Ronnie's homage to Duane as he exhorts his 'mule' Gary R. to "play it for Duane Allman" at the 56:30 mark of the extended version NOT the 13 min version I have posted first. Look below.

Ronnie with his Muscle Shoals shirt on.

Both LS and the Allmans had close ties to Muscle Shoals and Ronnie has a #MuscleShoals shirt on. Another sign of homage to Duane? For sure the Swampers as he sings of in Sweet Home Alabama. imo Ronnie looked at Gary as his mule and his version of the sweet slide guitar of Duane. I suspect after Duane camped out to get into FAME studios and discovered the gold nuggets there he shared this w/ Ronnie and the connection may be that simple? The honor for Duane the slide guitar 'savant' is obvious tho some of the nuances may be lost to time.

Gary Rossington, one of the ‘mules’ plays the opening solo.

5. As back up band Skynyrd was warned NOT to go out on the Rolling Stone's tongue logo assembled sage that looked like a tongue.
6. Ronnie will egg his band mates out to the tongue in the 2nd part. (at the 7:00 min mark in the 2nd part see Ronnie tell Allen Collins what's gonna happen. He eggs him out not just to play on the tongue but Skynyrdize it.

Ronnie walks Allen and Gary out to the Rolling Stone’s tongue stage and holds up his hand so Allen and Gary know they’re as far as their cords will allow

7. Song turns to 3rd part at the 10:00 min mark. Watch for Allen's feet jumping up and down. Now its HIS show. Till the close.
8. Watch how audience reaction changes from calm acceptance to wild abandon after Allen ups the ante.

Two fans losing it

9. The 3 guitar army was the lead guitar set up of Skynyrd and was fairly unique back then. Steve Gaines is the one appointed/qualified/best to keep Allen in the 'mood' and play off him esp as the conclusion approaches. Gary is the bridge btw Allen and Steve and the rest of the band at that pt. See Ronnie at the 5 min mark enjoy and watch the beauty btw Gaines and Collins as his plan as a professor of #neuromusicology comes to pass and he balances the spatial element with the crowd with the sequential element of the beat. There aren't many studies that look at the role of spatial processing in the context of musical tasks. So consider urself one of the privileged few. :) Its beautiful.

Steve Gaines ‘egging’ on Allen Collins right before Allen goes ‘Freebird’ on the solo

You watch Ronnie especially when he's done singing he's the 'slow' one w/ the steadiest beat tapping just the downbeat and sometimes looks like its half time. Ronnie imo is the steadiest all the thru a performance as he keeps time and organizes the band mates to give their best performance of their lives. Allen's beat has to be less steady overall bcz he is the master improvisor as the lead guitar on Freebird.

Allen’s feet take flight at the 10 min mark.

10. AT the 10 min mark when Allen takes over the stage and walk out to the tip of the tongue the girls wave their scarves in wild support/abandon, the crowd goes from. watching too ]dancing, heads bobbing and shaking wildly back and forth, ppl in groups jumping up and down and getting high on life...
Allen and Ronnie have a few words toward the end and my guess is Ronnie was talking back control as is his style but look carefully and see Allen listen to Ronnie and the his look changes to one of "Dude I got this! I've been planning this form yrs!”
Imo Allen is the definition of #Beatinduction, the activation a regular, isochronous (equal time, i.e. steady), pulse is activated while one listens to music (i.e. the beat in which a regular #isochronouspulse is activated while one listens to #music (i.e. the beat) Allen will start the song b4 songs suing beat induction as he stomps his feet. U can observe beat induction on T for Texas as Ronnie asks the crowd to 'make it rain.' The beat is begun by the band as they raise their arms high as a signal tot he crowd to participate and they clap in equal time, like a marching band. Babies can jam to the beat too! https://www.pnas.org/content/106/7/2468
#AtremisPyle I didn't forgot bro! U are the definition of motor sequencing. :) What's that u say? Its the ordering of individual movements, such as finger sequences for key presses, or the coordination of subcomponents of #complexmultijointmovements. i.e. Atremis Pyle #USMC hooyah drumming like a wild man back there somewhere hidden as he sweats out in his shorts? ;)
If u want more here's the whole 1 hr Skynyrdized Rolling Stones concert at Knebworth in '76. :)

Zero isn’t a Big Zero After All

Zero is More Than You Think!

Its the ‘biggest’ number/non-number in the sense of being able to cover two spaces. (-1 to 1) Read on...

Ten as a number is really a 1 in the ten’s column, as a 'signpost holder'' in the 1’s column, the 0 which is simply making sure you see the 1 as a ten column number and itself as announcing there’s nothing in the 1’s column.

0 isn’t ‘really’ a number per se but we need it to be holding down its space on the great divide btw 1 and -1 so we’ll keep it and ‘quantify it as a 0. Its a number in one sense as a zero marker but also a unique numerical digit of its own, yet without quantity, yet very specifically quantifiable. Its its own paradox!

But when we ‘quantify' it, ironically the 0 has a 2 space gap btw it and everything! 1 is the number of 1 numerical address, 2 and so on. 0 tho is the ‘address’ with a duplex. Its got two non doors and stretches from between two numbers and so is two spaces wide.

Door number at 0’s binary address is where the 'house’ for 1 is at. 1 lives there. He stays there tho he’s bold and can dare 0 to a chicken contest like letting himself be virtually a 1 but not quite like 0 as he undoes ‘decimation’ and tries out 0.99999… Its safe but don’t try that at home. 0 likes to think that poor 1 adds a zero when he ‘decimalizes’ and likes the effort. 

Door at address for -1 is for Mr Anti One to rest when he’s not being so negative. (like multiplying with his kind!) 0 then has twice the real estate as the rest of the real numbers. :) He’s a tycoon. He’s beat us at Monopoly bcz he can add zeros to his fake money and buy everything up. ;)

Review: So 0 is nothing and just a 'virtual' space for the 1 in the ten’s column on the left of it, and itself saying there’s nothing in the 1’s column on the its right side. And despite being nothing its the equivalent of two opposites which in that sense is like, Wow!

Its the only non number that covers two numbers! Who knew? ;)

PS The next time someone says "That has zero to do with it.” you can explain that zero has a lot to do with it. "More than you might think?” ;)
