You have come to know the Torah(Law, World, Dualtree of life) through the aleph-bet well.

Now, you also know that at while we are double, we are quadruple. Adam has two natures and so does Eve.

Bad Eve tempted good Adam to make him fall and get bad Adam to the throne. And thus, we forgot who we were.

The left(Adam, north(Seth), South(Osiris)) and right(Eve, South(Nepthys), East(Isis)) brain hemispheres are the tree of life.

Hey thanks for the comment.

You caused me to think of a deck of common playing cards as an interesting parallel of the sorts.

You have 2 colors, red and black.
But 4 suits: Hearts+Diamonds, and Spades+Clubs. (Four Seasons of Year)
52 cards (52 weeks of year)

It's cool how the concepts can be applied just about anywhere it would seem, and they work very effectively.

I am going to add some more stuff today momentarily, I meant to yesterday but the wife got home early and obviously she won my attention, lol.

Alright now I'm set. Rent paid for the month...phew.

I have been wanting to bring up The Tempest a little more directly because I think it's a little obscure compared to other Shakespeare.

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11, and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.
There is no obvious single source for the plot of The Tempest, but researchers have seen parallels in Erasmus's Naufragium, Peter Martyr's De orbe novo, and eyewitness reports by William Strachey and Sylvester Jordain of the real-life shipwreck of the Sea Venture on the islands of Bermuda. In addition, one of Gonzalo's speeches is derived from Montaigne's essay Of the Canibales, and much of Prospero's renunciative speech is taken word for word from a speech by Medea in Ovid's poem Metamorphoses. The masque in Act 4 may have been a later addition, possibly in honour of the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Frederick V in 1613. The play was first published in the First Folio of 1623.

I don't think I really knew anything about this particular piece prior to stumbling upon it recently.
I have read several plays, have acted in parts in them on stage (as a kid in school), and have even been to a few professional top tier performances and witnessed the best in Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, etc.
But I must have missed this one (among many others).

Anyhow, let's I'll continue w/the wiki:

The story draws heavily on the tradition of the romance, and it was influenced by tragicomedy and the courtly masque and perhaps by the commedia dell'arte. It differs from Shakespeare's other plays in its observation of a stricter, more organised neoclassical style. Critics see The Tempest as explicitly concerned with its own nature as a play, frequently drawing links between Prospero's "art" and theatrical illusion, and early critics saw Prospero as a representation of Shakespeare, and his renunciation of magic as signalling Shakespeare's farewell to the stage. The play portrays Prospero as a rational, and not an occultist, magician by providing a contrast to him in Sycorax: her magic is frequently described as destructive and terrible, where Prospero's is said to be wondrous and beautiful.

Commedia dell'arte

Commedia dell’arte (Italian pronunciation: [komˈmɛːdja delˈlarte]) is a form of theatre characterized by masked “types” which began in Italy in the 16th century and was responsible for the advent of the actresses and improvised performances based on sketches or scenarios. The closest translation of the name is “comedy of craft”; it is shortened from commedia dell’arte all’improvviso, or “comedy of the very creative ability of improvisation”. Here, arte does not refer to “art” as we currently consider the word, but rather to that which is made by artigiani (artisans).[1] In fact, the term arte was coined much later, for in the early period the term used in contemporary accounts is commedia all'improviso. This was to distinguish the form from commedia erudita or learned comedy that was written by academics and performed by amateurs. Commedia dell’arte, conversely, was performed by professional actors (comici) who perfected a specific role or mask.

The wiki has a lot of info so it's worth looking through. Tons of links.
Ok, let's see here...
Masque

The masque was a form of festive courtly entertainment that flourished in 16th- and early 17th-century Europe, though it was developed earlier in Italy, in forms including the intermedio (a public version of the masque was the pageant). A masque involved music and dancing, singing and acting, within an elaborate stage design, in which the architectural framing and costumes might be designed by a renowned architect, to present a deferential allegory flattering to the patron. Professional actors and musicians were hired for the speaking and singing parts. Often, the masquers who did not speak or sing were courtiers: King James I's queen consort, Anne of Denmark, frequently danced with her ladies in masques between 1603 and 1611, and Henry VIII and Charles I performed in the masques at their courts. In the tradition of masque, Louis XIV danced in ballets at Versailles with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully.[1]

Here is the Clue we need to decode the messages :

"All the world's a stage,
and all the men and women merely players:
they have their exits and their entrances;
and one man in his time plays many parts..."
—As You Like It, Act II, Scene 7, 139–42[29]

Back to The Tempest, let's look at some of the Characters.

Prospero, the main character. The overthrown Duke of Milan. He now lives on an island and has become a great sorcerer.

Prospero and Miranda from a painting by William Maw Egley; ca. 1850

Prospero

Prospero is the rightful Duke of Milan, who (with his young daughter, Miranda) was put to sea on "a rotten carcass of a butt [boat]" to die by his usurping brother, Antonio, twelve years before the play begins. Prospero and Miranda survived, and found exile on a small island. He has learned sorcery from books secretly given to him (referred to as his "Art" in the play), and uses it while on the island to protect Miranda and control the other characters. On the island, he becomes master of the monster Caliban (the son of Sycorax, a malevolent witch) and forces Caliban into submission by torturing him with magic if he does not obey him, and Ariel, an elemental who is beholden to Prospero after he is freed from his prison inside a tree.

However, at the end of the play, Prospero intends to drown his book and renounce magic. In the view of the audience, this may have been required to make the ending unambiguously happy, as magic smacked too much of diabolical works; he will drown his books for the same reason that Doctor Faust, in an earlier play by Christopher Marlowe, promised in vain to burn his books.

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus

The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story, in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge. Doctor Faustus was first published in 1604, eleven years after Marlowe's death and at least twelve years after the first performance of the play.

It says in the Prospero link:

In The Sandman, the title character has William Shakespeare write The Tempest.

So let's hit Side Link 2:
The Sandman (Vertigo)

Summary from Sandman link:

The Sandman's main character is Dream, the Lord of Dreams (also known, to various characters throughout the series, as Morpheus, Oneiros, the Shaper, the Shaper of Form, Lord of the Dreaming, the Dream King, Dream-Sneak, Dream Cat, Murphy, Kai'ckul, and Lord L'Zoril), who is essentially the anthropomorphic personification of dreams. At the start of the series, Morpheus is captured by an occult ritual and held prisoner for 70 years. Morpheus escapes in the modern day and, after avenging himself upon his captors, sets about rebuilding his kingdom, which has fallen into disrepair in his absence. Gaiman himself has summarized the plot of the series (in the foreword to Endless Nights) as "The Lord of Dreams learns that one must change or die, and makes his decision."

The character's initial haughty and often cruel manner begins to soften after his years of imprisonment at the start of the series, but the challenge of undoing past sins and changing old ways is an enormous one for a being who has been set in his ways for billions of years. In its beginnings, the series is a very dark horror comic. Later, the series evolves into an elaborate fantasy series, incorporating elements of classical and contemporary mythology, ultimately placing its protagonist in the role of a tragic hero.

Side Link 3:

In the short story "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe.

The Masque of the Red Death

he Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death" (1842), is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, has a masquerade ball within seven rooms of his abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to have nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. The story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the titular disease.

The story was first published in May 1842 in Graham's Magazine. It has since been adapted in many different forms, including the 1964 film starring Vincent Price. It has been alluded to by other works in many types of media.

Why am I bringing this up? Well read this:

The story takes place at the castellated abbey of the "happy and dauntless and sagacious" Prince Prospero. Prospero and one thousand other nobles have taken refuge in this walled abbey to escape the Red Death, a terrible plague with gruesome symptoms that has swept over the land. Victims are overcome by convulsions and sweat blood. The plague is said to kill within half an hour. Prospero and his court are indifferent to the sufferings of the population at large. They intend to await the end of the plague in luxury and safety behind the walls of their secure refuge, having welded the doors shut.

One night, Prospero holds a masquerade ball to entertain his guests in seven colored rooms of the abbey. Each of the first six rooms is decorated and illuminated in a specific color: blue, purple, green, orange, white, and violet. The last room is decorated in black and is illuminated by a scarlet light, "a deep blood color". Because of this chilling pairing of colors, very few guests are brave enough to venture into the seventh room. The same room is the location of a large ebony clock that ominously clangs at each hour, upon which everyone stops talking or dancing and the orchestra stops playing. Once the chiming stops, everyone immediately resumes the masquerade. At the chiming of midnight, the revelers and Prospero notice a figure in a dark, blood-splattered robe resembling a funeral shroud. The figure's face resembles a mask that looks much like the rigid face of a corpse, and exhibits the traits of the Red Death. Gravely insulted, Prospero demands to know the identity of the mysterious guest so that they can hang him. The guests are too afraid to approach the figure, instead letting him pass through the seven chambers. The Prince pursues him with a drawn dagger until he is cornered in the seventh room. When the figure turns to face him, the Prince lets out a sharp cry and falls dead. The enraged and terrified revelers surge into the black room and forcibly remove the mask and robe, only to find to their horror that there is no solid form underneath. Only then do they realize that the figure is the Red Death itself, and all of the guests contract and succumb to the disease. The final line of the story sums up, "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."

That's a big quote but the story is significant, I even had to read it in like 8th grade, so I assume everyone is familiar with it. And with a legendary name like "The Masque of the Red Death", it's hard to resist mentioning.
Goes perfect with all of this, anyhow.

Back to Tempest:
Miranda

Miranda (mə-RAN-də) is one of the principal characters of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. She is the only female character to appear on stage during the course of the play and is one of only three women mentioned.
Miranda is the daughter of Prospero, one of the main characters of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. She was banished to the Island along with her father at the age of three, and in the subsequent twelve years has lived with her father and their slave, Caliban, as her only company. She is openly compassionate and unaware of the evils of the world that surrounds her, learning of her father's fate only as the play begins.

Miranda is a name of Latin origin, meaning "worthy of admiration".[1]

Mirandese language

The Mirandese language (autonym: mirandés or lhéngua mirandesa; Portuguese: mirandês or língua mirandesa) is a Romance language belonging to the Astur-Leonese linguistic group, sparsely spoken in a small area of northeastern Portugal, in the municipalities of Miranda do Douro, Mogadouro and Vimioso. The Portuguese Parliament granted it co-official recognition (along with the Portuguese language) for local matters on 17 September 1998 with the law 7/99 of 29 January 1999.
Mirandese has a distinct phonology, morphology and syntax, and has been distinct at least since the formation of Portugal in the 12th century.[citation needed] It has its roots in the spoken Latin of the north of the Iberian Peninsula (Portuguese developed in the northwest).

Miranda herba

Nepenthe

Nepenthe /nɨˈpɛnθiː/ (Ancient Greek: νηπενθές) is a medicine for sorrow, literally an anti-depressant – a "drug of forgetfulness" mentioned in ancient Greek literature and Greek mythology, depicted as originating in Egypt.[1]

In H.P. Lovecraft's "The Outsider", "But in the cosmos there is balm as well as bitterness, and that balm is nepenthe." and "For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men."

In Shelley's Prometheus Unbound the Spirit of the Hour envokes nepenthe in a description of the earthly effects of the liberation of Prometheus (Act 2, Scene 4, Verse 61).

Tons of other stuff Miranda (disambig)

Back to The Tempest Character list:

Iris, Ceres, and Juno, spirits and goddesses

Well that is obvious, we already know about these because they are some of the most prominent names historically from our modern perspective. But isn't it interesting they are actually part of all of this?

Ariel

Ariel /ˈæriəl/ is a spirit who appears in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest. Ariel is bound to serve the magician Prospero, who rescued him from the tree in which he was imprisoned by Sycorax, the witch who previously inhabited the island. Prospero greets disobedience with a reminder that he saved Ariel from Sycorax's spell, and with promises to grant Ariel his freedom. Ariel is Prospero's eyes and ears throughout the play, using his magical abilities to cause the tempest in Act One which gives the play its name, and to foil other characters' plots to bring down his master.

The source of Ariel's name and character is unknown, although several critics have pointed out his similarities to the Ariel mentioned in Isaiah chapter 29 in the Bible. The name means "Lion of God", in this sense. Ariel may also be a simple play on the word "aerial". Scholars have compared him to sprites depicted in other Elizabethan plays, and have managed to find several similarities between them, but one thing which makes Ariel unique is the human edge and personality given him by Shakespeare.

Ariel taking on an illusionary form, at Prospero's command, depicted by William Hamilton

That's the Siren with the Lyre, the Harpy with the Harp.
From the Play's stage directions:

III.iii.around 52: "Thunder and lightning. Enter ARIEL, like a harpy; claps his wings upon the table; and, with a quaint device, the banquet vanishes."

All hail, great master! grave sir, hail! I come
To answer thy best pleasure; be't to fly,
To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
On the curl'd clouds; to thy strong bidding
task Ariel and all his quality.

Note that the vast majority of "Angel Names" have "EL" at the end of it. Not all but most.

I've already gone over a lot of "Ariel" stuff before but this is an aspect I haven't yet.

Now Check this out::

Sylvia Plath's most famous book of poetry is called Ariel. It is named so because she considered the poem to be the best in the book. Many readers know that the title of the poem was changed to "The Horse" for the less discerning newspaper readers and think the poem Ariel is simply about her riding a wild horse.

Back to Sylvia Plath again, notice Ariel here morphs into Horse???
Ariel (book)

The character of Ariel, as played by David Brandon, appears in the 1977 film Jubilee as a guide for Queen Elizabeth I visiting Queen Elizabeth II's England. Jubilee's director, Derek Jarman, subsequently directed a film of The Tempest in 1979.

So many strange connections you know?

Ariel the City

Ariel (Hebrew: אֲרִיאֵל; Arabic: اريئيل‎) is an Israeli settlement and a city in the central West Bank, circa 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of the Green Line and 34 kilometres (21 mi) west of the Jordan border.

Coat of arms of Ariel

Ariel (pronounced Ari'el), literally means 'Lion of God'. "Ari" (Lion) in Hebrew is also a synonym for bravery and courage and it is also the symbol of the tribe of Judah. The city of Ariel is named after Israel's proclaimed capital city Jerusalem.[8] Ariel in the Hebrew Bible is one of the names for Jerusalem and the Temple of Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1-8).

Now isn't this fascinating how all of these terminologies are cycling around again in bizarre ways.
Plenty more incoming soon, quick break.

Yes this world is but a reflection of the nothing that holds/stores everything. Chiral and symmetrical in nature this world indeed is. But our answer for life lies past that barrier of endlessness into infinitness.

Thank you, that terminology "Chirality" is interesting.

Chirality /kaɪˈrælɪtiː/ is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science. The word chirality is derived from the Greek, χειρ (kheir), "hand", a familiar chiral object.
An object or a system is chiral if it is not identical to its mirror image, that is, it cannot be superposed onto it. A chiral object and its mirror image are called enantiomorphs (Greek opposite forms) or, when referring to molecules, enantiomers. A non-chiral object is called achiral (sometimes also amphichiral) and can be superposed on its mirror image.

The term was first used by Lord Kelvin in 1893 in the second Robert Boyle Lecture at the Oxford University Junior Scientific Club which was published in 1894.[1]
I call any geometrical figure, or group of points, 'chiral', and say that it has chirality if its image in a plane mirror, ideally realized, cannot be brought to coincide with itself.

Human hands are perhaps the most universally recognized example of chirality: The left hand is a non-superimposable mirror image of the right hand; no matter how the two hands are oriented, it is impossible for all the major features of both hands to coincide.[2] This difference in symmetry becomes obvious if someone attempts to shake the right hand of a person using his left hand, or if a left-handed glove is placed on a right hand. In mathematics chirality is the property of a figure that is not identical to its mirror image.

In mathematics, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality) if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translations alone. For example, a right shoe is different from a left shoe, and clockwise is different from anti-clockwise.

Most everyone I think intuitively understands the concept even children, but yet it's something rarely if ever articulated in open discussions aside of specialist fields.

Anyone reading this far should check that wiki, it has some interesting pics and an:

Also a link to Halibut

Halibut is a flatfish, genus Hippoglossus, from the family of the right-eye flounders (Pleuronectidae). Other flatfish are also called halibut. The name is derived from haly (holy) and butt (flat fish), for its popularity on Catholic holy days.[1] Halibut are demersal fish which live in the North Pacific and the North Atlantic oceans. They are highly regarded food fish.[1][2][3][4]

Hippoglossus

The word hippoglossus is derived from the Greek hippos, meaning "horse", and glossus, meaning "tongue" - a reference to the shape of the fish.

Scry the hidden, try Latin instead:
Sus = "The Pig, Hog, Sow, Swine, Boar, kind of Fish"

Glos = Gloss, (Sister-in-law)(??)
From Etymonline:

gloss (n.1)
"luster," 1530s, from Scandinavian (cf. Icelandic glossi "flame," related to glossa "to flame"), or obsolete Dutch gloos "a glowing," from Middle High German glos; probably ultimately from the same source as Old English glowan (see glow (v.)).

Back to Halibut, let's try Halle's "Butte"

A butte /bjuːt/ is an isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; buttes are smaller than mesas, plateaus, and table landforms. In some regions, such as the Midwestern United States and Northwestern United States, the word is used for any hill. The word butte comes from a French word meaning "small hill"; its use is prevalent in the Western United States, including the southwest, where "mesa" is also used.

In 2005 Track and Race Car magazine published the results of a comprehensive test of a range of cars, from the Porsche 911 Carrera S, Ford GT, BMW M5 to the Caterham CSR 260. The Supercharged Ariel Atom 2 won the 0–100–0 mph (0–161–0 km/h) test by a clear margin at 10.88 seconds, ahead of the Caterham CSR 260 (11.41) and the Ford GT in 4th (13.17).

Tragedy of Mariam

The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry is a Jacobean era closet drama written by Elizabeth Tanfield Cary, and first published in 1613.

The Tragedy tells the story of Mariam, a member of the Hasmonean dynasty and the second wife of Herod the Great, king of Palestine 39-4 B.C. When the play opens, in 29 B.C., Herod is thought dead at the hand of Octavian...

So through this Web of Mary Contrary it would seem we have a connection between Ari-Mary-Mer-Mir.
So therefore "Ariel the Mer-Maid of May".

Here is a link to Sarai

Sarai (also transcribed as Saraj or Saray) was the name of two cities, which were successively capital cities of the Golden Horde, the Mongol kingdom which ruled Russia and much of central Asia in the 13th and 14th centuries. They were among the largest cities of the medieval world, with a population estimated by the 2005 Britannica at 600,000.
Sarai is Persian[1] for "palace". There is also a variation meaning home (Saraa), similar to Sarajevo in the Balkan peninsula.

"Old Sarai", or "Sarai Batu", "Sarai Berke" or "Sarai-al-Maqrus"[2] (al-Maqrus is Arabic for "the blessed") was established by Mongol ruler Batu Khan in the mid-1240s, on a site east of the Akhtuba river, near to the modern village of Selitrennoye.[3]

New Sarai (called Sarai-al-Jadid on coins) was at modern Kolobovka, formerly Tsarev, an archeological site also on the Akhtuba channel 85 km east of Volgograd, and about 180 km northwest of Old Sarai; or possibly on the site of Saqsin

Nun (Biblical Figure)

Nun /ˈnʊn/, in the Hebrew Bible, was a man from the Tribe of Ephraim, grandson of Ammihud, son of Elishama, and father of Joshua. (1 Chronicles 7:26-27) He grew up in and may have lived his entire life in the Israelites' Egyptian captivity, where the Egyptians "made life bitter for them with harsh labor at mortar and bricks and with all sorts of tasks in the field." (Exodus 1:14) In Aramaic, "nun" means "fish".

Tradition places Nun's tomb near that of his son Joshua who, according to Joshua 24:30, is buried in Timnat Serah whereas in Judges 2:9 it is mentioned as Timnath-heres.. The similarly named Palestinian village of Kifl Hares/Timnat Hares, located northwest of Ariel in the Samarian region of the West Bank, now encircles both tombs.

Ariel, Samarian
Serah, Heres...
Timnath-heres (serah)

The name Timnath-serah signifies in Hebrew an "extra portion" or "portion of abundance". Similarly, the name Timnath-heres means "portion of the sun".[1]. In the book of Joshua Chapter 24, verse 30; it is written in thirteen different published editions of the Old Testament as Timnath-Heres or some variation of it where the second word begins with an 'h', or 'H' and ends in 's', either with or without the intermediate dash. The inversion of "serah" to make "heres", as sometimes means sun, as in Job 9:7; some Jews observe, the name signifies the figure of the sun, the Jews say was put on his monument, in commemoration of the miracle of the sun standing still for him. [2]

Procopius of Caesarea calls him "Hellestheaeus", a variant of his throne name Ella Atsbeha or Ella Asbeha (Histories, 1.20). Variants of his name are Hellesthaeus, Ellestheaeus, Eleshaah, Ella Atsbeha, Ellesboas, and Elesboam, all from the Greek Ελεσβόάς, for “The one who brought about the morning” or “The one who collected tribute.”

Kaliv (Hasidic Dynasty)

The Kaliver Dynasty began with Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Taub (1744-1828) of Nagykálló (in Yiddish Kaliv, Kalov, Kalev), Hungary. He was the first Hassidic Rebbe in Hungary. He was discovered by Rabbi Leib Sarah's, a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov. Rabbi Leib first met Rabbi Isaac when he was a small child, a small shepherd boy. Rabbi Leib told his mother, a widow, that her son was destined to be a great Tzaddik. He took the small child to Nikolsburg to learn with Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg. Rabbi Isaac grew to be a great rebbe and was known as "the Sweet Singer of Israel"

So at the link for Kaliver Dynasty in Hungary, we have discussion about a "Rabbi Lei Sarah's", the "Baal Shem Tov", and Isaac Taub the "Sweet Singer", which is funny considering I was just at a confectioner article named Kalev.

Baal Shem Tov

Rabbi Yisroel (Israel) ben Eliezer (Hebrew: רבי ישראל בן אליעזר‎; 6 Sivan 5520/1760), often called Baal Shem Tov (/ˌbɑːl ˈʃɛm ˌtʊv/ or /ˌtʊf/) or Besht, was a Jewish mystical rabbi. He is considered to be the founder of Hasidic Judaism (see also Mezhbizh Hasidic dynasty).

You best check the temp in Rankine and Kelvin we gettin toasted by Castor and Pollux

In Greek and Roman mythology, Castor[1] and Pollux[2] or Polydeuces[3] were twin brothers, together known as the Dioskouri.[4] Their mother was Leda, but Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, and Pollux the divine son of Zeus, who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. Though accounts of their birth are varied, they are sometimes said to have been born from an egg, along with their twin sisters Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.
In Latin the twins are also known as the Gemini[5] or Castores.[6] When Castor was killed, Pollux asked Zeus to let him share his own immortality with his twin to keep them together, and they were transformed into the constellation Gemini. The pair was regarded as the patrons of sailors, to whom they appeared as St. Elmo's fire, and were also associated with horsemanship.
They are sometimes called the Tyndaridae or Tyndarids,[7] later seen as a reference to their father and stepfather Tyndareus.

St Elmo's Fire the Gem of the Eye call it Tyndaridae.
I Dare to Die with Tin-Tyn-10 in this Game of Roulette with my Silhouette named Janette.

Returning to the dying Castor, Pollux was given the choice by Zeus of spending all his time on Mount Olympus or giving half his immortality to his mortal brother. He opted for the latter, enabling the twins to alternate between Olympus and Hades.[18][19] The brothers became the two brightest stars in the constellation Gemini ("the twins"): Castor (Alpha Geminorum) and Pollux (Beta Geminorum). As emblems of immortality and death, the Dioskouri, like Heracles, were said to have been initiated into the Eleusinian mysteries.

Call it the Resurrection Plant

A resurrection plant is a generic term used for poikilohydric plants that can survive extreme dehydration, typically even over months or years.

It lists some of them in the links, including Lichen.

A lichen (/ˈlaɪkən/,[1] sometimes /ˈlɪtʃən/ [2]) is a composite organism consisting of a fungus (the mycobiont) and a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont or phycobiont) growing together in a symbiotic relationship. The photobiont is usually either a green alga (commonly Trebouxia) or cyanobacterium (commonly Nostoc).[3]

Lichens have also been used in making dyes and perfumes, as well as in traditional medicines. It has been estimated that 6% of Earth's land surface is covered by lichen.[8]

Cyanobacteria

The name "cyanobacteria" comes from the color of the bacteria (Greek: κυανός (kyanós) = blue).
Some cyanobacteria produce toxins, called cyanotoxins.
These toxins can be neurotoxins, hepatotoxins, cytotoxins, and endotoxins, and can be toxic and dangerous to humans as well as other animals and marine life in general.

Freeing the Volks is my Objective, The Blueprints on the Wall:

During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Ten Boom and his daughters became active in sheltering Jewish people who were trying to escape the Nazis at their home. In May 1942, a woman came to the house and asked for help. She said she was a Jew, that her husband had been arrested several months before, and her son had gone into hiding. As Occupation authorities had visited her, she was afraid to return home. She had heard that the family had helped other Jews, and asked if she could stay with them; to which Casper agreed. He believed that all people were equal before God and told her, "In this household, God's people are always welcome." When the Nazis began requiring all Jews to wear the Star of David, he voluntarily wore one also.[4] His son Willem, a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church, also worked in an non-denominational nursing home. During the occupation, he sheltered many Jews there to save them from the Nazis.[3]

St. Caspar/Gaspar del Bufalo

Saint Gaspar del Bufalo (January 6, 1786 – December 28, 1837), also known as Gaspare del Bufalo, was a Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood.

Missionaries of the Precious Blood you gotta Tread the Wine Press
Scarlet and Jet you know how I bet I'm a Vegas vet.

The Missionaries of the Precious Blood form a community of priests and brothers within the Latin Church, one of the 23 sui iuris churches which make up the universal Catholic Church. The Society was founded by Saint Gaspar del Bufalo in 1815. The Missionaries of the Precious Blood is a shortened English translation of the Latin "Congregatio Missionariorum Pretiosissimi Sanguinis Domini Nostri Jesu Christi," (The Congregation of Missionaries of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ). Priests and brothers use the post-nominal initials C.PP.S. after their names.
It is a Society of Apostolic Life, composed of secular priests and brothers who live in community. Members do not take vows but are held together by the bond of charity only and by a promise "not to leave the community without permission of the lawful superior". The stated charism of the Society is to bring the Word of God to where it is most needed.[1]

The Charism of Cher will Char with Tar it's the Star of the Chariot

In Christian theology, a charism (in Greek: χαρίσμα; plural: charismata) in general denotes any good gift that flows from God's love to humans. The word can also mean any of the spiritual graces and qualifications granted to every Christian to perform his or her task in the Church. In the narrowest sense, it is a theological term for the extraordinary graces given to individual Christians for the good of others.[1]
These extraordinary spiritual gifts, often termed "charismatic gifts", are the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, increased faith, the gifts of healing, the gift of miracles, prophecy, the discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:8-10). To these are added the gifts of apostles, prophets, teachers, helps (connected to service of the poor and sick), and governments (or leadership ability) which are connected with certain offices in the Church. These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to individuals, but their purpose is to build up the entire Church.[1]

I make my plays with a Lateral Pass

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.
According to de Bono, lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from standard perceptions of creativity as either "vertical" logic (the classic method for problem solving: working out the solution step-by-step from the given data) or "horizontal" imagination (having a thousand ideas but being unconcerned with the detailed implementation of them).

Meet the twins of Slope and Slant as I begin the next phase of my bantering rant.

Thank you for these recent threads you have made. They have really tied up the lace I have been tying together recently.

I have believed for a long time now that all modern religions have been built upon older religions. Inevitably, it happens with our languages, customs and everything that surrounds us until things become legends, stories, myths in the eyes of the "uninitiated".

Then there are us, the few of what are referred to as "common" or "sheep" that get that feeling that nothing is what it seems.

I for one believe that all of the religions indeed, are the same thing. But, they most mention, at one point that the whole of all the law that is this universe is built upon one thing that is care and love. And that those who are in control of all the dynasties of the world resent that and neglect that cornerstone hide it from us by dividing us and force us to live in their bullhorned religion of deities that simply are manifestations of our inner being, "making" us believe differently. Like the stars, they are our reflection, the language is too, simply: everything is a resemblence of us as we are made in the image of the one true god that is care and love.

Now, free will is. And they know this. Instead they "exploit" the system and make us project our reality outwards into manifestation and thus we have, our state on the earth: A literal Babylon-conscience.

Concur?

reply to post by Sump3


Yeah I agree, the method of controlling the masses seems to be based upon knowledge management itself.

The realization that all of our religions are "one in the same- but lost through translation", could potentially cripple one of the main power dynamics at work in the world today.

So perhaps the "NWO-One World Religion" fear is mostly contrived for the time being, for the purpose of reinforcing false paradigms. They may plan in 30-50 years or so to finally attempt such a thing but now seems a bit too early for their benefit. ("They" = Top Power Brokers)

Also note that 'Nationalism' is stronger than ever all over the world, which makes a serious "NWO" even less feasible in practical reality.

So I bet they are playing the opposite side, and actually want us to seek "Nationalism" and "Divided Religion" paradigms.
That way they have an excuse to keep everything militarized worldwide.

The only solution I can see to our problems is to sacrifice these archaic ideals based on ignorance, but I can only speak for myself I cannot decide how to think for anyone else.

reply to post by muzzleflash


I agree with you whole-heartadly.

I am looking forward to see more from you and read more of your threads in past time(if there is such a thing as past time)

In the meantime, stay strong. Believe in what you are doing and that you do good by telling others about what you discover.

Indeed we can only offer what we have, not push it.

In the meantime, stay strong. Believe in what you are doing and that you do good by telling others about what you discover.

Indeed we can only offer what we have, not push it.

Thank you for the words of support, they are few and far between so I definitely notice and appreciate.

I do agree with your point about not "pushing".
So I only have made a few threads since I started this...and been adding in them in order to not "spam the board" which would annoy members who don't wanna look at it. So I respect their space.

I also refrain from spamming my own threads as to not hog the 'recent posts' section because I am very timid, believe it or not.

So I took an opposite approach.
Lava - morph strategy, if you will.
I'll creep slow as a snail, but will win vs water eventually.
Instead of taking land, I'll make it.

What is a small island today - will be a continent in due time.
Rather than a "Push" this is the "Pollux" aka the "Pull Ox" tugging and towing.

So that's the theory of the Sha-Dojo.
I just try to leave everyone alone and stand here and fight my shadow until I defeat it.
It's still on the loose, keeps slippin through my noose.

Every day that I do not post, it gets harder to post.
That is because I am coming up with all sorts of stuff daily, and keep very limited notes of mainly keywords or links.

Also of course there are real life distractions, which are plenty.

Usually I plan on posting but due to "thinking it over" so much, I will usually just go to sleep as opposed to actually posting any of the ideas I had. So a whole lot of stuff gets lost, although of course it's mostly arbitrary on it's own, but in context of all the other information the little pieces add up and make a difference.

I am currently so buried in the work that I feel overwhelmed by it's immensity.

So what I will attempt to do is, re-read the thread to make sure what I did already post so I'll know what I didn't post.
Then I will go through all my notes and pick out everything I haven't gone into yet, and proceed in that direction.

Time frame : Throughout this month
I do also have plans for other threads but that's on the back burner as I am going to continue focusing my efforts here for the time being.

I am already tired as I've been up all day so I may or may not post much anything right now.
But I will leave something nice for anyone reading this far in, so as my post isn't merely chatter.
Will start writing and see how it goes.

Wiki Maltese Falcon
Who has heard of the "Maltese Falcon"? What do you know about it?

History time:
Tribute of the Maltese Falcon

The Grand Master of the Religion and Order of Saint John of Jerusalem had to pay an annual tribute to the Emperor Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and his mother Queen Joanna of Castile as monarchs of Sicily, for the granting of Tripoli, Malta and Gozo. There were also other conditions. The annual tribute payable on All Saints day was one falcon. The grant was made at Castel Franco and is dated the 23rd day of the month of March, Third Indiction, in the Year of Our Lord 1530; in the 10th year of our reign as Emperor, the 27th as King of Castile, Granada etc., the 16th of Navarre, the 15th of Aragon, the Two Sicilies, Jerusalem and all our other

Knights Hospitaller Wiki


So this is a special falcon, it can swim in the water:
Maltese Falcon (Yacht)

The Maltese Falcon built by Perini Navi in Tuzla, Turkey is a ship-rigged sailing luxury yacht, commissioned and formerly owned by American venture capitalist Tom Perkins.[2] It is one of the largest privately owned sailing yachts in the world at 88 m (289 ft), similar to Royal Huisman's Athena and Lürssen's Eos.

Athena, Eos, and the Maltese Falcon? Of course.

A tip: "Eos" would actually be "Bos" the Boss.

Bos (from Latin bōs: cow, ox, bull) is the genus of wild and domestic cattle. Bos can be divided into four subgenera: Bos, Bibos, Novibos, and Poephagus, but these divisions are controversial. The genus has five extant species. However, this may rise to seven if the domesticated varieties are counted as separate species, and nine if the closely related genus Bison is also included.[1] Modern species of cattle are believed to have originated from the extinct aurochs.

Sacred Bull mythology (wiki)

The worship of the Sacred Bull throughout the ancient world is most familiar to the Western world in the Biblical episode of the idol of the Golden Calf. The Golden Calf after being made by the Hebrew people in the wilderness of Sinai, were rejected and destroyed by Moses and the Hebrew people after Moses' time upon Mount Sinai (Book of Exodus). Marduk is the "bull of Utu". Shiva's steed is Nandi, the Bull. The sacred bull survives in the constellation Taurus. The bull, whether lunar as in Mesopotamia or solar as in India, is the subject of various other cultural and religious incarnations, as well as modern mentions in new age cultures.

Anyone this far in this thread knows all about that by now of course, so it's kinda redundant.

Notice what I am doing with the Etymology here:
Bos - Eos = "Cos" ?
Yes, look : Cos Wiki

Cos, Ariege (France)
Ariege
It's capital is Foix, and it's near a location of interest named Andorra, which seems to be where the name of the alien race (in Star Trek) the "Andorians" originates from.

Andorians first appeared in the 1968 Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Journey to Babel", and have been seen or mentioned in episodes of subsequent series in the Star Trek franchise. They were indicated to be a vital, important member of the United Federation of Planets in the 1997 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "In the Cards", but did not gain considerable exposure until the 2001-2005 series Star Trek: Enterprise, on which they were utilized as recurring characters, most notably in the person of Shran, a starship commander who maintained a sometimes adversarial and begrudging friendship with Enterprise Captain Jonathan Archer.

So we have Shran the Andorian, John Archer the Enterprise Capt (Archer is Orion the "Hunter" get it?), it started on the episode "Journey to Babel" which explains the entire idea behind Deep Space 9 (Name scheme!), etc.

Can't bring that up without mentioning the Xindi which were an important part of the Enterprise plot line.
Xindi = Zen Dice, Zen Dia, Zen Dio, etc.
Xindi aka Indi = India, In Diana, Indiana the state, etc

Now look at this description of their racial disposition:

The Xindi are collectively a race of six different intelligent species which evolved simultaneously on the same planet (Xindus)... The Aquatics ... The Reptilians ... The Arboreals... The Primates... The Insectoids... The Avians

I actually had no intention of getting into Star Trek, that was a result of Andorra leading me down a random path.
Let me get back to what I intended to share about the Falcon in next post...

Before I leave "Cos", a few other notable "coincidences":

Chief of Staff, the coordinator of the supporting staff of an organization
Chief of Station, an official appointed as chief of a stationary post
Chief of Station, also known as resident spy, the chief spy operating in a foreign nation
Roman consul, the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic and the Empire

Chief of Staff or the Consul? That's the Boss (Bos).
Notice how randomly this works together but yet it DOES work amazingly well.

Romaine "Cos" Lettuce

In Great Britain, Romaine lettuce is known as "cos lettuce".[1] Many dictionaries trace the word cos to the name of the Greek island of Cos, from which the lettuce was presumably introduced.[2] Other authorities trace it to the Arabic word for lettuce, خس khus ([ˈxus]).[3]
It apparently reached the West via Rome, as in Italian it is called lattuga romana and in French laitue romaine, both meaning 'Roman lettuce', hence the name 'romaine', the common term in American English.[3]

Romaine the Roman, and Khus-Xus of Zeus.
What is "Khus" you ask? Wiki Khu it's the wiki on the Egyptian concept of the Soul.

The ancient Egyptians believed that a human soul was made up of five parts: the Ren, the Ba, the Ka, the Sheut, and the Ib. In addition to these components of the soul there was the human body (called the ha, occasionally a plural haw, meaning approximately sum of bodily parts). The other souls were aakhu, khaibut, and khat.

Khum (Cambodia)

In Phnom Penh the districts are called khan (ខណ្ឌ), and their subdivisions sangkat (សង្កាត់) which are smaller in the other provinces.
The sangkat are further subdivided into phum (ភូមិ), which are usually translated as villages, though they do not necessarily cover one single settlement.

Khnum Khufu

Khufu (/ˈkuːfuː/ koo-foo), originally Khnum-Khufu (/ˈknuːmˈkuːfuː/ knoom-koo-foo), is the birth name of a Fourth Dynasty ancient Egyptian pharaoh, who ruled in the first half of the Old Kingdom period (26th century BC). He is equally well known under his Hellenized name Khêops or Cheops (/ˈkiːɒps/, kee-ops; Greek: Χέοψ, by Diodor and Herodotus) and less well known under another Hellenized name, Súphis (/ˈsuːfɨs/ soo-fis; Greek: Σοῦφις, by Manetho).[4][8] A rare version of the name of Khufu, used by Josephus, is Sofe (/ˈsɒfiː/ so-fe; Greek: Σοφe).[9]

Cheops? That's Chi(Qi) + Ops of Optics.
Suphis? Sofe? That's Sophia (Wisdom) and it's also directing us to Sufism (wiki) very quietly, just compare the information. Perhaps even "Sulfur" is linked.

Sufism or taṣawwuf (Arabic: الصوفية‎) is a branch of Islam,[1] defined by adherents as the inner, mystical dimension of Islam; others (stemming from the views of Western Orientalists) contend that it is a perennial philosophy of existence that pre-dates religion, the expression of which flowered within Islam. Its essence has also been expressed via other religions and metareligious phenomena.[2][3][4] A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a ṣūfī (صُوفِيّ). They belong to different ṭuruq or "orders"—congregations formed around a master—which meet for spiritual sessions (majalis), in meeting places known as zawiyahs, khanqahs, or tekke.[5]

Khutor a term describing a farm or in context of this thread the "homestead inside oneself" aka the Khu-Temple within.

A khutor (Russian: ху́тор, IPA: [ˈxutər]) or khutir (Ukrainian: ху́тiр, khutir, pl. ху́тори, khutory) was a single-homestead rural settlement of Eastern Europe.[1][2]

Khulna Bangladesh

The city as well as the district is named after its headquarters. As per myth, there was a shrine called Khullaneswari temple on the bank of the Bhairab river (about one and a half kilometers to the east of the present Khulna city) and the area is called Khulna after the name of Khullaneswari.

Khujand

Khujand (Tajik: Хуҷанд, خجند; Uzbek: Хўжанд, Xoʻjand; Russian: Худжанд Khudzhand), formerly Khodjend or Khodzhent until 1936 and Leninabad (Leninobod, Ленинобод, لنین‌آباد) until 1991, is the second-largest city of Tajikistan.

Super important please note:

Greek authors maintain that later in time, Alexander of Macedon built a Macedonian settlement near Cyropolis (Khujand) in 329 BC and named it Alexandria Eschate (Greek: Ἀλεξάνδρεια Ἐσχάτη) or "Alexandria The Furthest". It would have formed a bastion for the Greek settlers against the Scythian tribes to the north of the Syr Darya, which the Greeks called the Jaxartes River. It became a major staging point on the northern Silk Road. Some famous Persian poets and scientists come from this city. Khujand is an integral part of the Iranian world and culture.

Will come back to those terms later, back to Cos-Kos.

Kos (disambig)
Kos Island (Greece)

Throughout its history, the island has been known by the Greek, Kos. A person from Kos is called a "Koan" in English. The word is also a possessive, as in "Koan goods".[3] Kos has also been called İstanköy by the Ottomans and Coo by the Italians and was formerly known as Stanchio in English.

Koan ? Cone, Conan? Anyways, super important wiki, check out the history of the island, it's extensive.

Now let's talk about the Maltese Falcon the Novel

The Maltese Falcon is a 1930 detective novel by Dashiell Hammett, originally serialized in the magazine Black Mask. The story has been adapted several times for the cinema. The main character, Sam Spade, appears in this novel only and in three lesser known short stories, yet is widely cited as the crystallizing figure in the development of the hard-boiled private detective genre. Raymond Chandler's character Philip Marlowe, for instance, was strongly influenced by Hammett's Spade. Spade was a departure from Hammett's nameless detective, The Continental Op. Sam Spade combined several features of previous detectives, most notably his cold detachment, keen eye for detail, and unflinching determination to achieve his own justice.

Magazine "Black Mask"

Black Mask was a pulp magazine launched in 1920 by journalist H. L. Mencken and drama critic George Jean Nathan as one of a number of money-making publishing ventures to support the prestigious literary magazine The Smart Set, which Mencken edited, and which operated at a loss. Under their editorial hand, the magazine was not exclusively a publisher of crime fiction, offering, according to the magazine, "the best stories available of adventure, the best mystery and detective stories, the best romances, the best love stories, and the best stories of the occult." The magazine's first editor was Florence Osborne (credited as F. M. Osborne).[1]

Sam Spade? The Maltese Falcon?? Detective Mysteries?
The "Black Mask" with the "Best Stories of the Occult"??

Sam Spade and Miles Archer are hired by a Miss Wonderly to follow a man, Floyd Thursby, who has allegedly run off with Wonderly's younger sister. Spade and Archer take the assignment because the money is good, but Spade implies that the woman looks like trouble.
That night, Spade receives a phone call telling him that Archer is dead. When questioned by Sgt. Polhaus about Archer's activities, Spade says that Archer was tailing Thursby, but refuses to reveal their client's identity. Later that night, Polhaus and Lieutenant Dundy visit Spade and inquire about his recent whereabouts, and say that Thursby was also killed and that Spade is a suspect. They have no evidence against Spade, but tell him that they will be conducting an investigation into the matter.

Miles Archer? What the heck it's the Archer again!
Miss Wonderly? Floyd Thursby? Let me guess he's 'Pink Thor'?
Google for "Pink Thursday" it's actually real amazingly.
Here is a link to it from someone in Sweden : Swedish Customs

Today is the start of the Easter holidays in Sweden, which consist of the pink Thursday (usually half day off), the long Friday (stores are closed), Easter Eve, Easter day and the Second Day of Easter (also a day off). Today kids dress up like witches and go around handing out cards in return for candy.

Amazing it's like a mix between Halloween and Valentine's, yet during Easter. Hmmm.
Also I found some links to similar "Pink Thursday" customs being practiced in places all over the world.

Yo, this is Pink Floyd aka 'Thor'.
I learned about it from A Saucerful of Secrets, I mean look at the Name of this Album it's so blatant.

Ok back to the Maltese Falcon Novel wiki:

When they meet at Spade's apartment, Cairo says he is ready to pay for the figurine, but O'Shaughnessy says she does not have it. They also refer to a mysterious figure, "G", of whom they seem to be scared. As the two begin to argue, Polhaus and Dundy show up, but Spade refuses to let them in. As they are about to leave, Cairo screams, and they force their way in. Spade says that Cairo and O'Shaughnessy were merely play-acting, which the officers seem to accept. But they take Cairo with them to the station. Spade tries to get more information from O'Shaughnessy, who stalls.
Spade confronts and instantly dislikes a kid named Wilmer Cook, telling him that his boss, "G," will have to deal with Spade. He later receives a call from Casper Gutman, who wishes to meet him.

"G" ? The "Boss"? That's a reference to the letter G, the big G-man, God. He runs the show so to speak.
Casper Gutman? The Ghost with Guts?
Cairo? O'Shaughnessy?
This novel is loaded with information but it needs context with everything else to be deciphered.

Look at this further down the wiki:

The novel has been filmed three times, twice under its original title:
The Maltese Falcon (1931), the first version, pre-Code production starring Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels
Satan Met a Lady (1936), a light-comedy adaptation starring Bette Davis and Warren William, with Sam Spade becoming "Ted Shane".
The Maltese Falcon (1941) the third version, considered to be a film noir classic, starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet.

So one variant of this when in film, was "Satan Met a Lady"
Sam's name was changed to "Ted Shane", seriously?

And a few more references for film:

In addition, there have been many spoofs and sequels, including 1975's The Black Bird, a spoof featuring George Segal as Sam Spade, Jr., and Elisha Cook Jr. and Lee Patrick reprising their roles from the 1941 film.
The Maltese Falcon (2001), an audio adaptation by the BBC starring Jane Lapotaire, Tom Wilkinson, and Peter Acre
The Maltese Falcon (2008), audiobook dramatization by the Hollywood Theater of the Ear, starring Michael Madsen, Sandra Oh, and Edward Herrmann

So let's see here, we have the Peregrine Falcon

The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the Peregrine,[2] and historically as the Duck Hawk in North America,[3] is a widespread bird of prey in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head and "moustache". As is typical of bird-eating raptors, Peregrine Falcons are sexually dimorphic, females being considerably larger than males.[4][5] The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 322 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive),[6] making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom.[7][8] According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a Peregrine Falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).[9][10]

Clocked at 242 mph? That's amazing.

Check this part out:

The Latin term for falcon, falco, is related to falx, the Latin word meaning sickle, in reference to the silhouette of the falcon's long, pointed wings in flight.[6]

Falco the Falcon is related to Falx the Sickle? Of course it is, as this thread seeks to main painfully clear beyond all doubt.

It's the Ox Ax, and all of the other cool Arms of the Many Armed One I keep listing.
Falx (Disambig)

Ok advanced Anatomy class time folks:
Foramen Ovale (Heart)

In the fetal heart, the foramen ovale /fɒˈreɪmɨn oʊˈvæliː/, also foramen Botalli, ostium secundum of Born or falx septi, allows blood to enter the left atrium from the right atrium. It is one of two fetal cardiac shunts, the other being the ductus arteriosus (which allows blood that still escapes to the right ventricle to bypass the pulmonary circulation). Another similar adaptation in the fetus is the ductus venosus. In most individuals, the foramen ovale closes at birth. It later forms the fossa ovalis.

Note this is about the fetal stage of development.

Conjoint Tendon

The conjoint tendon (previously known as the inguinal aponeurotic falx) is a structure formed from the lower part of the transversus abdominis muscle as it inserts into the crest of the pubis and pectineal line immediately behind the superficial inguinal ring.

Falciform Ligament

The falciform ligament is a ligament that attaches the liver to the anterior body wall. It is a broad and thin antero-posterior peritoneal fold, falciform (Latin "sickle-shaped"), its base being directed downward and backward and its apex upward and backward. The falciform ligament droops down from the hilum of the liver.

And of course the brain itself:
Falx Cerebelli

The falx cerebelli is a small triangular process of dura mater, received into the posterior cerebellar notch as well as projecting into the vallecula of the cerebellum between the two cerebellar hemispheres.[1]

Falx Cerebri

The falx cerebri, also known as the cerebral falx, so named from its sickle-like form, is a strong, arched fold of dura mater that descends vertically in the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres.

And then of course we have the so called Dacian Falx

Falx is a Latin word originally meaning sickle, but was later used to mean any of a number of tools that had a curved blade that was sharp on the inside edge such as a scythe. Falx was also used to mean a weapon, particularly that of the Thracians and Dacians, and later a siege hook used by the Romans themselves.

In Latin texts the weapon was described as an ensis falcatus (whence falcata) by Ovid in Metamorphose or falx supina by Juvenal in Satiriae.
The Dacian falx came in two sizes: one-handed and two-handed. The shorter variant was called sica[2] (sickle) in the Dacian language (Valerius Maximus, III,2.12) with a blade length that varied but usually around 16 inches (41 cm) long with a handle 1/3 longer than the blade. The two-handed falx was a pole-arm. It consisted of a 3 feet (0.91 m) long wooden shaft with a long curved iron blade of nearly-equal length attached to the end. Archaeological evidence indicates that the one-handed falx was also used two-handed.[3]
The blade was sharpened only on the inside, and was reputed to be devastatingly effective. However, it left its user vulnerable because, being a two-handed weapon, the warrior could not also make use of a shield. It may be imagined that the length of the two-handed falx allowed it to be wielded with great force, the point piercing helmets and the blade splitting shields - it was said to be capable of splitting a shield in two at a single blow. Alternatively, it might be used as a hook, pulling away shields and cutting at vulnerable limbs.

A devastating weapon, thought to have caused serious trouble for the Romans during their invasions.

Marcus Cornelius Fronto described the large gaping wounds that a falx inflicted, and experiments have shown that a blow from a falx easily penetrated the Romans' lorica segmentata, incapacitating the majority of victims. These experiments also show that the falx was most efficient when targeting the head, shoulder, leg and especially the right (sword) arm, which was generally exposed. A legionary who had lost the use of his right arm became a serious liability to his unit in battle.[8]

The Thracians also made use of the falx. They also used the rhomphaia, a weapon very similar to the two handed falx but much less drastically curved.

Ok so more links:
Rhomphaia
I may have linked that already, but whatever.

The Rhomphaia was a close combat bladed weapon used by the Thracians as early as 400 BC

Rhomphaia was first ‘a spear’, later ‘a sword’

W. Tomaschek listed the Bulgarian. roféja, rufja ‘a thunderbolt’ and the Albanian rrufë as derivatives of that word.
Rhomphaia was also preserved in modern Greek as rhomphaia ‘a big broad sword’. The Thracian rhomphaia contains the IE stem *rump- in the Latin rumpo, -ere ‘to break, to tear’.

Michael Psellus writes[4] that all Varangians without exception used what he refers to as a "rhomphaia".

Will get into the Varangians later in more depth.

Falcata Sword

The term falcata is not ancient. It seems to have been coined by Fernando Fulgosio in 1872,[1] on the model of the Latin expression ensis falcatus "sickle-shaped sword" (which, however, refers to the Harpe).

Harpe

The harpē (ἅρπη) was a type of sword or sickle mentioned in Greek and Roman sources, almost always in mythological contexts. Most notably it was the weapon used by Cronus to castrate his father Uranus, and thus it became his symbol of power. In Greek and Roman art it is variously depicted, but it seems that originally it was a khopesh-like sickle-sword.

A Musical Weapon with it's own mind.

In entomology, it is a part of the valva.

Insect reproductive organ also.
Khopesh

Info from Khopesh:

Khopesh (ḫpš; also vocalized khepesh) is an Egyptian sickle-sword that evolved from battle axes.[1]

Show and tell about the Shotel ?

A shotel is a curved sword originating in Abyssinia (ancient Ethiopia). It looks very much like the Near Eastern scimitars. The curve on the shotel's blade varies from the Persian shamshir, adopting an almost semicircular shape. The blade is flat and double-edged with a diamond cross-section. The blade is about 40 inches (1,000 mm) in total length and the hilt is a simple wooden piece with no guard. The shotel was carried in a close fitting leather scabbard.[1]

And of course the Shamshir

A Shamshir (from Persian شمشیر shamshir) also Shamsheer and Chimchir,[1] is a type of sabre with a curve that is considered radical for a sword: 5 to 15 degrees from tip to tip. The name is derived from Persian شمشیر shamshīr, which means "sword" (in general). The radically curved sword family includes the shamshir, scimitar, Talwar, kilij, Pulwar and the Turko-Mongol saber.
A Shamshir Shekargar (Persian: شَمشیر شکارگَر‎ shamshir-e shekârgar; literally, "hunters' sword" or "hunting sword") is the same as a shamshir, except the blade is engraved and decorated, usually with hunting scenes.[2]

Originally Persian swords were straight and double edged, just as the Indian khanda. The curved scimitar blades were Central Asian in origin. The earliest evidence of curved swords, or scimitars, is from the 9th century, when it was used among soldiers in the Khurasan region of Central Asia.[3] The sword now called "shamshir" was introduced to Iran by Turkic Seljuk Khanate in 12th century and was later popularized in Persia by the early 16th century, and had "relatives" in Turkey (the kilij), the Mughal Empire (the talwar), and the adjoining Arabian world (the saif) and (the sam-saam).

Shamshir = Shears of Sham(Ash)
Sam-Saam ? Well that's really obvious.
Saif? It keeps you "Safe".

Xiphos

The xiphos (Greek: (το) ξίφος) is a double-edged, single-hand sword used by the ancient Greeks.

Saif (Scimitar)
Talwar
Kilij

The Turkish root verb "kır-" means "to kill, "to slaughter, to slay" with the suffix "-inç" makes "kır-ınç" (instrument of slaughter) becomes kılınç than kılıç. The kilij became the symbol of power and kingdom. For example Seljuk rulers carried the name Kilij Arslan (kılıç-arslan) means "sword-lion".

Kilij = Killing Edge that Sculpts the Hedge
Makhaira

Makhaira (Greek: μάχαιρα (mákhaira, plural mákhairai), also transliterated machaira or machaera; a Greek word, related to μάχη (mákhē) "a battle", μάχεσθαι (mákhesthai) "to fight", from PIE *magh-) is a term used by modern scholars to describe a type of ancient bladed weapon, generally a large knife or sword with a single cutting edge.

Oh and I almost forgot, before I move on, there is a Maltese Falcon Society which apparently is a book club of the sorts.
And here is a link on the character Sam Spade which goes into much more depth.

And of course we gotta bring up Humphrey Bogart:

From the 1940s onward, the character became closely associated with actor Humphrey Bogart, who played Spade in the third and best-known film version of The Maltese Falcon. Though Bogart's slight frame, dark features and no-nonsense depiction contrasted with Hammett's vision of Spade (blond, well-built & mischievous), his sardonic portrayal was well-received, and is generally regarded as an influence on both film noir & the genre's archetypal private detective.

Humphrey DeForest Bogart (December 25, 1899 – January 14, 1957)[1][2] was an American actor[3] and is widely regarded as an American cultural icon.[4][5] In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Bogart as the greatest male star in the history of American cinema.

I gotta mention some stuff with this guy, because it's highly relevant.

High Sierra

High Sierra is a 1941 early heist film and film noir written by W.R. Burnett and John Huston from the novel by Burnett. The movie features Ida Lupino and Humphrey Bogart and was directed by Raoul Walsh on location at Whitney Portal, halfway up Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevada of California.[1]
The screenplay was co-written by John Huston, Bogart's friend and drinking partner, adapted from the novel by William R. Burnett (also known for, among others, Little Caesar and Scarface).[2]

An aged gangster, Big Mac (Donald MacBride), is planning a robbery at a California resort in Palm Springs. He wants the experienced Roy Earle (Humphrey Bogart), just released from an eastern prison by a governor's pardon, to lead the heist and to take charge of the operation.[4]
Roy drives across the country to a camp in the mountains to meet up with the three men who will assist him in the heist: Louis Mendoza (Cornel Wilde), who works in the resort, plus Red (Arthur Kennedy) and Babe (Alan Curtis), who are already living at the camp. Babe has brought along a young woman, Marie (Ida Lupino). Roy wants to send Marie back to Los Angeles; but, after some argument, she convinces Roy to let her stay. Roy also is adopted by a small dog called Pard, played by Bogart's own dog, Zero.
Marie falls in love with Roy as he plans and executes the robbery, but he does not reciprocate. On the drive up to the mountains, Roy met the family of Velma (Joan Leslie), a young woman with a deformed foot who walks with a limp. Roy pays for corrective surgery to allow Velma to walk normally. While she is recovering, Roy asks Velma to marry him; but she refuses, explaining that she is engaged to a man from back home. When Velma's fiancé arrives, Roy turns to Marie, and they become lovers.

So Roy (Humphrey) falls for a woman named 'Marie' in this film also. Hmmm..
That's after Velma *Veil Mother*
Dog named Pard (probably insinuating a 'bard' or something) played by Bogart's own dog named 'Zero'.
We also have the characters of "Big Mac", Louis, Red and Babe, etc.

Quick link to Scarface (The Shame of the Nation)

Scarface (also known as Scarface: The Shame of the Nation and The Shame of a Nation) is a 1932 American gangster film starring Paul Muni, produced by Howard Hughes, directed by Howard Hawks and Richard Rosson, and based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Armitage Trail.
This film was the basis for the Brian De Palma 1983 film of the same name starring Al Pacino.

Scarface = Scarlet or Charlotte = Charface - Freddy the Cougar (A Real Nightmare)

Little Caesar
This isn't a pizza delivery, you gotta come and pick it up at location.

Small-time criminals Caesar Enrico "Rico" Bandello (Edward G. Robinson) and his friend Joe Massara (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) move to Chicago to seek their fortunes. Rico joins the gang of Sam Vettori (Stanley Fields), while Joe wants to be a dancer. Olga (Glenda Farrell) becomes his dance partner and girlfriend.

Rico? I'll get into Starship Troopers later.
Sam Vettori? Gotta be kidding me.

Back to the Guardian of the Boa with the Bo of the Boii (Which makes him the Bog-Artist): Humphrey Bogart:

Casablanca
Casablanca = "White House", a very recognizable name.

Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's un-produced stage play Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid; and features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, "love and virtue". He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her Czech Resistance leader husband escape the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis.

Casablanca Morocco

Casablanca (Moroccan Arabic pronunciation: [kɑzɑblɑnkɑ], also الدار البيضا ed-Dar el-Biḍa lit: "White house") is the largest city of Morocco. It is located in western Morocco on the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the largest and most important cities in Africa, both economically and demographically.

Although Casablanca was an A-list film with established stars and first-rate writers, no one involved with its production expected it to be anything out of the ordinary.[3] It was just one of hundreds of pictures produced by Hollywood every year. Casablanca had its world premiere on November 26, 1942 in New York City, and was released on January 23, 1943, in the United States. The film was a solid if unspectacular success in its initial run, rushed into release to take advantage of the publicity from the Allied invasion of North Africa a few weeks earlier.[4] Despite a changing assortment of screenwriters adapting an unstaged play, barely keeping ahead of production, and Bogart attempting his first romantic leading role, Casablanca won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Its lead character,[5][6] memorable lines,[7][8][9] and pervasive theme song[10] have all become iconic. The film has consistently ranked near the top of lists of the greatest films of all time.

This is a really intriguing film with a lot of references, so I will come back to it later as it's pretty intensive.
I will list a few more links, all are interesting lessons in film history:

Private detective Philip Marlowe (Bogart) is summoned to the mansion of his new client General Sternwood (Waldron). The wealthy retired general wants to resolve gambling debts his daughter, Carmen Sternwood (Vickers), owes to bookseller Arthur Gwynn Geiger. As Marlowe is leaving, General Sternwood's older daughter, Mrs. Vivian Rutledge (Bacall), stops him. She suspects her father's true motive for calling in a detective is to find his young friend Sean Regan, who had mysteriously disappeared a month earlier.

Carmen is in San Diego California obviously, look at the name, it tells you the location right there.

Carmen is also "Sand" + "I" + "Ego".

Carmen Sandiego is an American media franchise of educational computer and video games, television series, books, and other media featuring a thieving villain of the same name created by Brøderbund Software. The main premise follows the user or protagonist who become agents of the ACME Detective Agency and attempt to thwart and capture V.I.L.E. ringleader and former ACME agent Carmen Sandiego. The franchise originally focused on teaching geography and history, but later branched out into mathematics, English, and other subjects.[1][2][3]

His script featured several villains, one of whom he named Carmen Sandiego. He adapted Carmen's name from a Brazilian singer and actress Carmen Miranda and the city of San Diego, California.

And what do you know, it's Carmen "Miranda" as an additional inspiration.

Now look, this is how we know we are on the right track:
Fort Rinella, Malta

Fort Rinella is a Victorian fortification on the island of Malta. It is also referred to as the Rinella Battery in some maps and publications.

We got here originally from Maltese Falcon, yet through the name "Irene Jansen" from Bogart's film Dark Passage.

At the fort we find this weapon:
Armstrong 100ton Gun
of which connects us with the topic of Regia Marina

That would be the Falcon clinging to the Anchor, with the 'Naval Jack' symbol on it's chest.
That's an extensive wiki on the history of the Italian Navy from 1861 to 1946.

So we also have the Greek Island named Rineia or Rhenia
Rine or Reyna (Azerbaijan)

Oh yeah back to Bogart's film, Irene's last name is Jansen?
Janus Jana, and Sen must be "Sin", as it's pronounced the same. Jan-Sin.

More Bogart coming...
