Decoded / successfully interpreted by Cybermonk: Holding branch with left hand (asserting possibilism-thinking) & cutting branch with right hand (asserting eternalism-thinking) 10:04 a.m. May 2, 2022
left hand at non-cut branch, holding nothing; right hand holding cut branch = retaining balance without falling on God’s sword of control death instability May 2 2022. Further note 5 hours later: left foot is … forget it , gotta have a crop:
left foot is floating in front of branch without purchase & stable balance, just like left hand is floating in front of branch without purchase.
So I have solved the mystery of the floating left hand floating in front of the branch, by comparing to left foot, right hand, right foot, expressing that there’s nothing there are to hold onto; that branching is illusory.
A phantom branch won’t give you balance.
The left hand is in a “holding” position, but this is futile, because the hand is not around an actual branch.
same for the left foot:
that branch which appears behind the left hand offers no purchase, and the branch which appears behind the foot offers no purchase.
only a cut branch is real and offers stability, for the right hand and for the right foot.
