Mathematical Butterfly

When a math educator has emerged from their cocoon to be at zero mercy of a controlling or demanding boss, or of an oft-stifling educational system, to take charge of what they want to do in math or math education in spite of the risks and uncertainties before them.

For the large majority of teachers and tutors, procrastination or the fear of failure has prevented them from becoming the mathematical butterfly God has destined them to be.

Mask Meditation

When people in a meditative or prayerful state are unprovenly more likely to graduate to a semi-conscious or hypnotic state, or are more prone to experience a trance, if they don a face mask for paranormal or unexplainable reasons.

What percentage of masked folks who practice yoga as a transcendental activity rather than a mere breathing exercise are likely to reap the spiritual or occultic “benefits” of mask meditation?

COVID-🎶

The hypothesis that playing slower music—one that doesn’t exceed 120 beats per minute (BPM)—in public settings, such as when people exercise in gyms, or folks dance or do aerobics in workout classes, could reduce the corona infection rate, as it is pretty hard for people in a group activity to properly wear masks or social distance.

With the new Covid-🎶 rule, a number of gym owners in Seoul are worried whether playing fast, funky K-pop songs could get them in trouble with the authorities—would they be forced to play classical or gospel music instead to reduce saliva droplets in the air?

Pi Trance

When autistic folks or idiot savants claim that hours-long meditation on the digits of the decimal number π puts them in some kind of hypnotic state, thus allowing their mind’s eye to see sexy numerical relationships, or kaleidoscopic geometric shapes linked to the “sacred” digits of the transcendental pi in hyperspace.

Pure mathematicians or number theorists obsessed with the beautiful properties of π love to indulge themselves in pi trance activities, hoping to experience a few aha! moments in the process.

The Holy Bible

The all-time bestseller the devil hates seeing someone reading it, or the one book leaders from certain faiths would forbid their followers from owning a copy, because its contents have the power to set them free from spiritual blindness and bondage, and to change their lives for the better forever.

It’s not surprising that those caught carrying, much less reading, the Holy Bible in public places, in some parts of the world, could be fined or/and jailed, because religious and political leaders are afraid that the truth revealed in it would undermine their position and authority in leading people to avoid heading to the wrong side of eternity.

Trump Shadow

When someone dextrously or magically uses the fingers of both hands and a lit candle in a dark room to form the silhouette of Donald J. Trump, as a metaphor to expose the unethical or shady acts of the ex-president behind the scenes.

The registration for the Trump Shadow Contest, scheduled to be held this Christmas, is now open to all, regardless of their faith or political affiliation.

Faith

The divine password or spiritual key that allows you to gain access to God’s grace (unmerited favor)—because of Jesus’ perfect work on the cross, you are made righteous by His blood, which qualifies you to be a recipient of His blessing, favor, and love.

It’s not faith in any gods and goddesses, or in any prophets, but faith in Christ, the anointed Son of the living God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
