walking through the big box store yesterday snapping a few pictures,
•what is with the heXagon imagery everywhere?
•especially on products intended to directly contact skin?
•why?
•apparently graphene is a miracle element, a few capabilities…
•Carbon Dioxide = BAD?
•Graphene Oxide = GOOD?
•what do you think?
Are honeybees involved in a scheme of hexagons? (Hint: I think not.) Hexagonal patterns emerge in chemistry because of the bonding angles between carbon atoms. If there are three double bonds involved in a six-carbon ring, the electrons are delocalized over such a ring and it is flat. This is the benzene molecule. This structure, when bonded to side groups or other parts of a larger molecule, is fundamental to innumerable chemical compounds, many made naturally by your own body or in nature.
Furthermore, at the molecular level and at higher levels of organization, hexagonal patterns emerge because of energy-efficient mechanisms of packing. The honeycomb in a beehive, as well as the hexagonal pattern of the unit structures (called ommatidia) of the image-forming eyes of bees and other insects, reflect the efficiency of structural strength provided per mass of beeswax and the most effective means of packing the ommatidia, respectively. At the level of behavior, I was able to demonstrate that bees preferentially orienting their bodies in hexamodal directions. This so fascinated me, I devoted years of my life studying, and writing a dissertation, on the topic (1). As it turns out, there are multiple, intersecting aspects of the hexagonal pattern in the live[s] of Honey Bees. Quite interesting is the presence of magnetite in the bodies of the Honey Bee and its potential for making a biological compass possible (2). Moreover, the crystalline structure of magnetite (an iron oxide found in abundance in the earth's surface) is hexagonal. As magnetite is rotated in a magnetic field with at least some component orthogonal to the lattice's axis of hexagonal symmetry, there will be resistance to the rotation of the crystal every sixty degrees. [Think of the dentations in the station-selection dial of the old television sets.] This is an imaginable and potential basis for a sensory cell and organ underlying the bee's ability to orient and navigate using (among other modalities such and the position of the sun, the polarization pattern of the sky, scents, images of terrestrial objects[ ) ]. I was able to demonstrate [bees] that can and do, at least in the laboratory setting, orient in earth-strength magnetic fields and that the 60-degree multimodal pattern in their preferred directions does emerge with respect to the direction of the ambient [magnetic] field. And moreover, when the bees do their characteristic dance on the vertical honeycomb to communicate the direction and distance of nectar, pollen and other materials useful for life and [maintenance of] the hive, there is a sixty-degree pattern impressed upon the component of error in their dances. Karl von Frisch called these errors the 'Missweisung'. Most likely, I speculated, this hexagonal pattern emerges in the dances because of the appearance of six directions of (you might call it) difficulty alternating with directions of relative ease across the honeycomb as encountered in the bee's six-legged stepping pattern.
In short, there are patterns all around us. Some may be sinister, yes, when involving human corruption and organized evil. On the other hand, some patterns are beautiful and wonderful expressions of Nature and the Logos of the Universe. Exercise discernment and by all means enjoy the good and the beautiful where it is to be found, even--or perhaps especially--[ ] in these difficult times.

I don't know if you saw my comment elsewhere on Subsy, but yesterday I found out that one of my former music students — male, age 27 — died suddenly of an apparent heart attack while visiting family on the east coast (he lives in California). His parents were at the airport in California, waiting to board a plane to Maine to join him, when his girlfriend awoke and found him unresponsive, called 911, and he was promptly pronounced dead. I received the information from a good friend whose son took music lessons from me and happens to be this guy's best friend.
So, in a weird twist of irony, I ended up being the bearer of the bad news to his grandmother and his parents.
I say "irony" also because his entire family has been *proudly announcing* that they get ALL OF THE JABS. I have little doubt that he got them all as well, since he works in Hollywood and had been able to keep his cushy job during the CovAin't. I don't want to automatically assume that it was the CV-19 jabs that killed him, but we have certainly been hearing for the last few years about young men and boys dropping dead of heart failure, so it's difficult not to at least *suspect*.
There will be an autopsy and I very much look forward to hearing the findings from his mother, who is also my music student and — despite our radical perspectives on the med-tech-kill-cartel and
other institutions — is a very dear friend. Regardless of the results, I hope this horrific incident helps his family to pierce the veil about the jabs and how they were bald-faced LIED TO, over and over and over.
