דרך Etymology - Russian

Note the connections:

Russian word for דרך being "putee" пути--> Puta as vagina or prostitute (Spanish Vulgar)-->. פות in Hebrew--> 

... פת -->

כי אם הלחם אשר הוא אוכל--> all fitting into דרך גבר בעלמה and ובלכתך בדרך-- חתן פטור מק"ש לילה הראשונה

Possibly also related to the English "path".


[Forgot one:   והפתות לדלתות הבית הפנימי לקדש הקדשים in מלכים א ז פסוק נ ]

Nice Lyrics - John Mayer

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Masturbation In Vegetables

Noticed the phenomenon in atleast onions and garlic if not more; when left alone for enough time in the kitchen cupboard the onion continues to sprout forth from within itself a light-green center outgrowth.

See שביעית ו ג where the Mishna recognizes this phenomenon and distinguishes between these kind of light-green, "masturbatory" sprouts and strong, darkish-colored sprouts which result from having received external energies e.g. soil, rainwater.

בצלים שירדו עליהם גשמים וצמחו--אם היו העלין שלהן שחורים, אסורים; הוריקו, הרי אלו מותרין.

The way I see it, in the absence of ideally being able to receive its energies externally, the organism nonetheless seeks to tap into a release of it's energies from within. [Note also that the production of the light green shoots are, if I'm not mistaken, "weaker" and empirically contain less nutrients than those of the dark-green shoots, but it remains a "giving forth of energies" nonetheless...]

I would be very interested to know, scientifically, what in fact are the onions/garlics sacrificing internally that allows them to perform this "growth from within"... there must be some trade off...

And see Zohar Teruma 166b:

האי אור זרע ליה קב"ה בגנתא דעדנוי...ואי תימא בזמנא דגלותא כתיב אזלו מים מני ים....ואי תימא דאינון תולדין ואיבין הוו כמו דהוה בזמנא דגננא תמן, לאו הכי, אבל לא אתמנע זרוע דא לעלמין עיי"ש

[Addendum: not certain of the scientific validity but found discussion atleast that in humans increased masturbation causes increase of body's osteoclasts which break down bone... is there a plant equivalent to the human bone?... צע"ע]

World/עולם Dimensions

It's always been hard to even conceptualize the sense of ד' עולמות -- עשייה, יצירה, בריאה, אצילות

Particularly, how can all 4 be extant simultaneously.

Would like to offer atleast possibly a משל of the distinctions between them through Math.

On the lowest level/"world" we have Constant Numbers. They are completely defined. No variability. Also note they have no rate of change i.e. their derivative equals 0. Represented on a graph as a constant Y-value running to infinity along the x-axis [עשייה]

The subsuming world above that would be that of Linear Equations like y= 2x. Represented by a straight, sloping line with a fixed rate of change (i.e. slope or derivative). Note how every constant in the "lower world" ultimatley has it's place somewhere in this higher world as a particular manifestation of the linear equation. Also note how essentially Linear Equations can be said to be composed of an infinity of constants. [יצירה]

The subsuming world above Linear would be that of Non-Linear equations [בריאה] e.g. x^2 [x raised to the 2nd power]. Note how it can be said that essentially a Non-Linear Equation is made up of an infinity of Linear Equations.

I don't know what would then be the next step in mathematics for the final World... 3 Dimensional/ Multivariable Calculus??? i don't know....

At the very least it's just a parable as a means of helping with the conceptualization. Specifically that a particular detail unit- say the number 5 for example- can simultaneously act as the end-all in the world of constants and yet only a particular solution of a much larger solution set of a variable equation...

Clear as mud?

Triangle Breakdown

A fundamental realization. Not all 3 lines of a triangle are equal. It's really a relationshop of 2 and 1.

By definition, a hypotenuse line is nothing more than a composite vector (or a 'child' you could say) of one x-axis vector and one y-axis vector.

In other words, all hypotenuses are made up of adjacents and opposites but adjacents and opposites (running parallel to the axis') are not made up of hypotenuse lines.

Note then that sine and cosine are essentially אבות of the tangent. Note also the often interchanging/interweaving (התכללות) of sine and cosine together in various areas (their derivatives for example), moreso than with tangent.

Table of Elements and Torah

Was thinking of exploring connections between Torah and the Table of Chemical Elements when I was pleasantly surprised to see the area has already been considered by a Yitzchak Ginsburgh of www.inner.org . Here.

My limited writing on the subject was said here regarding Completed Systems.

[Looked further at the website and was pretty disappointed to find alot of distasteful parts like "Jewelry by Rav Ginsburgh" selling little kabbala-style necklaces of 14K gold ..... what the heck is that about?! That's a big no-no in my book. I'll keep this post up and the link to his paper but don't approve or support the author]

Greek Alphabet

People don't take seriously enough the richness that is laden in the greek alphabet and to what degree of meaningfulness it held to the Greeks themselves.

בראשית רבה א ו-- וייצר שני יצירת יצירה לאדם ויצירה לחוה יצירה לשבעה ויצירה לתשעה רב הונא אמר נוצר לשבעה ונולד לח' או לתשעה חי נוצר לתשעה ונולד לשמונה אינו חי קל וחומר לשבעה בעון קמיה דרבי אבהו מנין שהנוצר לשבעה חי אמר להון מדידכון אנא ממטי לכון זיט"א אפט"א איט"א אוכט"א

Also see Wikipedia that the Greet letter Theta (ט) being a circle with a dot in the middle had significance and symbolism of soul and body. Further interesting is the connection to the Egyptian religion of 9 Gods called the Ennead.
