[Amount of sleep previous night: 9.5 solid hours]
Yep, so on the night of 1/25 - 1/26 we got a solid 9.5 hours of sleep. I asked Michael later how rested he felt after waking up from that (on a 0 > 5 scale) and he said 6. I felt about the same.
We were pretty much so exhausted from the previous night of broken up sleep that this huge block of sleep came to us quite naturally. We went to bed at 10pm that night and woke at 7:30am. We remembered also about our morning ritual that we are putting together where we try to recall a list of 7 aspects, which are the interpretations of the aspects of learning.
These are: Dance, Rhythm, Music, Affinity, Path, Way of life, and Home-- which correspond to the 7 aspects of learning which are: War, Ritual, Magic, Alchemy, Condition, Religion, and Temple (garden). There are several more sets of seven aspects that intertwine pretty intricately and all these aspects add up to pretty much a way to view life. We also found a way to align them to specific scale tones!
More about this Inoqoa philosophy will be posted to http://www.inoqoa.com/ soon. This is pretty much a placeholder site to hold the content of our ideas until we get someone who is willing to help us with the web design.
We did a lot of planning and strategizing today during the morning hours and we were discussing a simple definition for magic and I ended up making an attempt to prove magic in a geometrical proof kind of way. It was fascinating and I didn't quite finish that yet, because I took a tangent off into considering how language is pretty much the same thing as magic. I ended up spending a good chunk of time creating the following drawings:

It may be a bit difficult to tell what is going on here in these pictures, but in each picture, the small infinity symbols symbolize a word in any given language and how when you group them together in a system, that makes up a language. The upside-down power symbol looking character (half-circle with line through the opening) symbolizes power. Each language on their own have the power of communication when shared among people. (The people are represented here by the little brown pseudo-chinese markings for tree/forest). Also, note that each infinity symbol is contained by a dashed line, which is to indicate that words are containers that have certain properties, but cannot be limited because we know that people create new definitions for words all the time. Words are flexible.
The first picture is meant to show how limiting it can be to exist within just one power structure, that is to say-- to speak only one language. It does allow you access to your single island (or lily-pad, aka continent or culture) of people, but that's all. It's like considering your one culture to be the only culture. It can sometimes lead a person to think that there is only one way of thinking and that the only intelligent thoughts are those from ones own culture.
In the second picture, I pulled out a single person to represent how a multi-lingual person might exist and as you can see, it is a much more connected and beautiful existence that gives you access to more ways of thinking.
Anyway------- that was my little art project for the morning. Then we proceeded to strategize more about how to get Project Inoqoa off the ground. We are currently juggling several moving pieces to figure out how they all work together and you can expect more and more things to come out into the public sphere soon.
We decided to take a walk outside around 4pm to catch the sun while it was out because the weather was really great and we really needed some fresh air and exercise because we had reduced our exercise regimen by a lot this past week because we were feeling so weak. But, after the walk, we came home and took a 1.5hr nap and then did some more work for a bit before woking out. We were able to do a few sets of chest flies, which was good. Just easing back into working out again.
MKC: Chest flies
2x10 @ 15lbs.
4 x 12 @ 25lbs, then
1 x 21 @ 25lbs to finish.
YHY: Chest flies
2x10 @15lbs
Later, we finally made it out to eat for the first time in over a week. We ended up sticking close and went down to Mekong Village and had the best shrimp I have ever had in my life, along with a great beef appetizer, and our regula-- the BBQ pork on vermicelli. After more strategizing and planning, we tried to go to sleep at 11:30pm, but Michael woke up at 12:30am with a vision and with night sweats. These visions/night sweats happened two days ago too, so I decided to grab my hair dryer and the weird "ion diffuser" thing it comes with so we could dry the bed and he really enjoyed that. It makes the hairdryer look so---- ROBO. :P |
After being up for another 4 hours, we slept for another 4 hours. Interesting. We fell into a 4 hour wake, 4 hour sleep cycle. At that point, 8:30am, I tried to sleep more, but I couldn't. I was in bed till like 9:30am but I couldn't fall back asleep, so I got up. Michael slept till around 11am.
This gives him a total of 9 hours of sleep between 4:30pm and 11am of 1/26-1/27.
For me, I got 6.5 hours, which is pretty normal for me. I may supplement this later with a nap-- but I will leave those details for the next post.
A domani!
