A propos: Stone holes, dressers, otters and eagle catchers

Hole in standing stone Ness of Brodgar, Structure-10
I still intend to write about the Ness of Brodgar and especially Structure-10, its holed stone (see drawing) and its implication and then the Tomb of the Eagles concerning reports of purported Neolithic violence there. Then there is a new and definitive confirmation of my approach in the preliminary excavation results of the Tomb of the Otters (Bank’s chamber) one of the major finds in Britain in 30 or 40 years, an untouched 5000 years old chamber, a crucial bone treasure. Eventually I want to change to Philosophy of Science making a serious effort in grounding my ontology compatible with Buddhist thought. Last year (2012) I was a hundred days in India (it turned out) and stayed among Tibetan monks in Ladakh for 4 weeks. This has inspired me to further working out my understanding of Kalachakra cosmology in relation to a scientific ontology and to throw light on the extremely difficult teaching of ‘Emptiness’ as taught by Nagarjuna, the great Buddhist philosopher. (this also by way of the ontology) Besides that I intend to do another serious attempt at getting my analysis of Saturn’s ring-data and resonances straight for publication, which will entail exposition of the mathematical model in relation to the resonance patterns in the standing waves of the ring system, we see the Rainbow Proportion. Also the dimensionless universal constants wait for publication, so there is a lot to be done. No doubt reading what I wrote before on the above topics will help understand what I am getting at in the pieces that are going to follow. ‘Solar System Resonance’ is a key to Saturn’s rings, ‘A Buddhist cosmology? leads the way to the similarities as in ‘No matter at all’, the ‘universal constants’ turn out to relate to the ‘Repunits’. It may seem from the emphasis of this website that Archaeology is my main interest, but this is not the case, it has been a 5 year digression based on the mathematical model I already had, coming alive again in the astonishing mathematical regularities I found in the ancient designs of Orkney, it was like Giza and, as it turned out, litteraly, but I think with the next publication I will have said most of what I had to say on the Stone Age and will return to my primary interest which is philosophy. (somehow the 5000 year gap poses some sort of hindrance in my concentration on anything else and has hampered my productivity lately). To build a conceptual bridge between mysticism and science is the motivation of much of my effort. This entails a confrontation between Western and Eastern thought in which I will usually tend towards the Eastern side. In fact my work answers the Dalai Lama’s call for a fundamental rethink of scientific reasoning (The universe in a single atom, 2005). I hope all this will eventually satisfy the curiosity of my readers and reward their patience with me.
