• Derangement update:

  
  

  Mystery solved, I guess….

  
  

  This might have occurred to me sooner, I suppose, if I had not been just-up and not fully awake and alert when that derangement hit me this morning.  But, it’s also likely that such a thing would not overtake me had I not been off-guard and not fully awake.

  
  

  I even mentioned the lapis lazuli in the last post.  It is right here at my elbow now.  With a bit of a swivel and a little push I can move my office chair from the computer desk to the worktable and pick stones.  I do that off and on all day when I have a pile of stones on the table to be paired.  A break from one job lets me get something done on the other one.

  
  

  Lapis has a reputation for opening the third eye, increasing psychic receptivity.  Half asleep, I’m largely in the Theta brainwave frequency range, and very susceptible to psychic input.  Most of the time I’m a Theta person in a Beta world anyway, but I do know how to ramp up to Beta when I need to do math or drive a car.

  
  

  That was all I had to do this morning to break the mood.  I feel fine now.  Thanks for the empathy and concern shown in comments on that last blog.  Now, my skeptical side (those two maverick brain cells that occasionally rub together and spark a coherent logical thought) says, “If it really was the influence of the lapis, then what’s making Marian and the others go weird?”

  
  

  That’s a question.  You didn’t expect an answer, did you?
