Howdy Gregor,

I wanted to say first that when I reread what I wrote last time, I regret the way I put this bit:

So you're Zeus huh?
Or his reincarnation.

Very interesting my friend.

I felt like that might have come off as condescending or disbelief, which was absolutely not my intent. I'm not saying it was recieved as such, I just wanted to reiterate that I am truly interested.
I think I understand where you're coming from in that regard, as I've had some good laughs w/ the few people I relayed my black lab dreams to. I suppose that is a bit simpler than explaining the Zeus connection though. For what it's worth, I see the connection certainly w/ your fire poi your columns dreams prior to the "big dream". I looked those columns (knossos) up, and just like you said of course: red w/ yellow.
I also relate to having been given a message that is soley up to one's self to decipher. I cannot necessarily put into words what I've taken from my dreams/memories, but I learned what I needed to in order to better proceed forward as a result them.

And as far as phi goes, yes I absolutely agree that the abundance of the presence of the ratio is natural, what I am not so sure of is why we humans are so consiously and subconsciously drawn to it. My theories are less mathematical in nature ( as I am a journalism grad and did my best to avoid anything too complicated regarding mathematics!). As I see it the ratio itself is the result of an imbalanced porportion. This is very undeveloped and I am certainly open to critique, but I wonder why in so many other aspects of life, we seek balance, yet this attraction is based on imbalance.

I was thinking about your story the other day and thought of something else I wanted to ask.

The Yogi, (the guy that (if I remember correctly) you met on the web and then in your dream where he lead you to the twelve ummm.. dudes I guess), have you guys been in contact post dream in waking life?

Also I was wondering if you've done any fire dancing at any of the bigger festivals around the country. I've seen alot of really cool poi over the years at fests like bonaroo, wakarusa, 10,000 lakes, moedown, all good high sierra, rothbury, summercamp, jazz fest.
One of the best (re: fire dancing) was this band I'd never heard of (the Mutaytor) at wakarusa that normally did stuff like Burning Man. They had the whole stage setup w/ some impressive pyrotechnics (especially for inside a tent, it was huge though), and some really hot "scantily clad" chicks spinning fire and swinging overhead belayed (from the stage and tent rigging) on ropes. I had eaten about 4 grams of mushies that we had made into chocolates before the fest, and was front and center for the show. They (fire dancers) were probably no closer than ten feet away from us at any time, but we were all tripped out and ducking for every swoop. It was a blast.

And lastly I was wondering if you remember the name of the panoramic view website you mentioned tha showed you the same view as your dream? That sounds really cool.

Thanks for the story Gregor.

peace brother.
