No, of course not. Prior to 4 billion years ago -- or whenever life appeared -- there was nothing and no one there to perceive anything. There would only be everything everywhere at once, AKA nothing.<br /><br />And what would a subject be without an object? Seems to me it would also be nothing, for subjectivity is always of, or toward, or with, or some other preposition. It seems to me that this sheds light on the nature of God, which is to say, Trinity, for the structure of Father-Son-Holy Spirit can be seen as Subject-Object-Relation...."<br /><br /><br />What does that remind me of... Ah-hah-ha!:<br /><br />"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-5924198023763861392017-11-08T08:07:22.514-08:002017-11-08T08:07:22.514-08:00I bet - definitely a unique sound.

The scene where they're tossing girls in the air with a blanket, maybe? Holy smokes, what a range she has!<br /><br />I've heard of people singing double notes before; there's a style called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat_singing" rel="nofollow">overtone singing</a> or throat singing where the singer holds one kind of monotone note while also singing other notes. This is the first time I've heard someone harmonizing while doing it, though.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-35309144815700348102017-11-08T07:29:20.946-08:002017-11-08T07:29:20.946-08:00Lalah Hathaway is the daughter of the great Donnie...Lalah Hathaway is the daughter of the great Donnie Hathaway, who was a genius but unfortunately insane. She sounds a lot like him, although I don't remember him splitting any notes.<br /><br />Coincidence -- the first time I ever heard of double-voice phenomenon was about two weeks ago, reading about the sublimely weird Queen of Exotica, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvAq5yTfFP0" rel="nofollow">Yma Sumac</a>.

There was even one point there where she seemed to hit a wrong note - again, in a piece that never existed before that moment - but because there was structural soundness to the whole, it was obvious when that one note was wrong.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-28948674328933937952017-11-07T17:00:20.223-08:002017-11-07T17:00:20.223-08:00And now, for something completely different:

And your views sound completely plausible. And those who don't have it right, are...off on some bad tangents, shall we say.<br /><br />Trump is a good President. I agree.<br /><br />But we're not done. The creation of the Cosmos was a crime. God was the only entity with the opportunity, and the means. What we don't have is the motive. We need to keep digging.<br /><br />We don't have His financial records. He wasn't married. He had no affiliations to organized crime or terrorist organizations. So, where can we look next?<br /><br /> What's important to Him? What are His ambitions? What are His dreams? We need interviews with people who know this Guy. Any leads would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks, Detective Smith Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-3785919747533064832017-11-06T12:43:31.618-08:002017-11-06T12:43:31.618-08:00Always inspiring Bob.
