Dear Friends: (HI DAVE!!!)
Finally getting a chance to take a break from the chocolate and whip crème cake with strawberries and lit candles on top that is my current surreal existence to stop in and impart one of the things I have discovered.
Recently I came across a graphic novel at the library called "The Story of MU" by James Cordova and Illustrated by Mike Morse. Its a retelling of the Buddhist story about a dog who asked a monk if even dogs could have a Buddhist Spirit, to which the monk replied "Mu".
The word, pun intended, dogged me. Most of all, how do you say the word? what did it really mean.
Finally, It dawned on me. Thank you Dave for giving me the tools I needed.
Here's what I found:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(negative) -The concept of MU, pronounced Ma* or May, To me its not about negativity or emptiness, but wholeness.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(letter) - The Greek Letter, according to Wikipedia, Is derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for Water
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-water_r ... ieroglyph) - Also known as Mem
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mem - The Hebrew Symbol represents "M"
Ah * Um (Fu Dogs) & Hum, Ohme &Ohm, I found my way home. Heaven, Haven, Look to the light, look to the Water, Its all around you. it is You. Me and You. MU.
Will check in again soon.
Love,
Tibierius Blackthorne

Re: Its All About Water
Beannachtai Tiberius Blackthorne as they say in Ireland, Chocolate and whipped cream cake, candles etc, it might have been your birthday. So belated greetings if that conjecture be true! We are therefore perhaps born under the same sign, you and I.
Water you say my old sprudel, I feel encouraged to add my ten penneth. Water in Arabic is Ma’an, Water in Aramaic is D’MaYaA, Water in Hebrew is Mah’yeem, Water in Sumerian is Mu and a Sumerian watering place is Maltitu, according to Babylonian culture Nammu was the pure goddess of fresh water. In Assyrian water is either Miyya or Maye dependent on its Eastern or Western Assyrian origins.
Thereforem among the ancient languages spoken in Mesopotamia with reference to water, the letter M is prolific! However, the Egyptian Hieroglyphic symbol for water is ^^^^^^^ closer to a row of lower case Latin Alphabet wwwwww than mmmmmm perhaps. Indeed the letter M has been retained in all alphabetic derivatives from what evolved as the Phoenician linguistic conduit into modern alphabets Greek, Latin and Cyrillic, while in the Arabic alphabet the letter Meem continues to provide the ‘M’ sound and in modern day Arabic water is Ma and rain is Matar.
The element of Water is associated with the astrological birth signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and it also rules the Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth Houses. Interesting as in the Latin Alphabet - alphanumeric transposition we focus our ideas around - the letter M resolves down to 4! Although that is intensely logical with M being so deeply entwined in the word for water in polyglottal terms, and of course each house is equally divisable by 4.
Popular watery descriptions are well suited to this element: fluid, flowing, wavering, easily applicable to individual human emotions, an area where Water potentially exerts its most powerful influence.
Humankind born under water signs are intuitive and sensitive, and tend to feel more intensely than the rest. They are emotional and nurturing, and like a river their thoughts run deep. How things feel is what counts in life, and they often base their actions on senses, rather than on logic or intellect.
Water is also about compassion and understanding, and as receptive talents of those individuals born under the three signs is remarkably high. Water sign people can absorb the feelings of others, process them, and generate a plan or solution that satisfies the feelings of all. They can also brood and be moody but this also accentuates their ability to see situations and what possibly lies ahead more clearly than others. Some would call it psychic.
Water sign offspring grow up to love to take their sense of the world and translate it into the artistic. They pursue aesthetic beauty and want everyone to be happy as a result of that beauty. Much like still water can become stagnant; a water sign person is never at his or her best when inactive and there feel consistently at their most fulfilled when helping others, and they do so in an enchanting, considerate and often incurably romantic way.
Curiously Aquarius is not a water sign, which it absolutely should be based on its derivation from the Latin word for water and is also signified by the Egyptian hieroglyphic for water. It is an air sign.
Dave as ever sends his greetings and thanks you for your continued contributions, as do I of course.
