¶ Tension
Index Entry
Tension:
“The big jobs are done in tension and the small jobs in compression. We find that the tensions, because they are always curved, never can get straight. There is no meaning to the word ‘straight’ in Universe. Therefore the tension memebers spiraling around must always come back into themselves. They are inherently self-closing, maybe not with simultaneous experiences-- obviously not in simultaneous experiences-- but around comes the Halley’s Comet. Every 70 years around she comes again. It is not a simultaneous experience at all. Several life times may be involved, and some of them may be coming around more slowly, but there is an integrity of the tensions as around they come again. We find an idea about some kind of closed circuit.”
