Spelling Bee, Abseil, and Waiting for a Star to Fall

 On May 22, I wrote a post called "What is even more amazing than a talking dog?  A spelling bee!".

In the post, I shared a picture of my son's school assignment and used some of the things I saw on it to refer to a different kind of Spelling Bee.

William Tychonievich would follow up the post with an interesting analysis of some of the scrambled letters on the paper, showing that the word Abeilles appeared among those words (outlined in green below).  Abeilles is French for "bees"  (of course it's French...).

He would also go on to infer that the leftover letters perhaps were a Chinese-type reference to Bee as well.

I thought it was pretty interesting analysis.

But check this out - it gets even better!

Yesterday, I wrote my post regarding William's Joan, suggesting that she was the same Being as the Claire who has spoken with him a few times and potentially one of the Daughters of Asenath.  As I said in that post, I had decided to write about this guess on Joan of Arc's Feast Day without knowing it was here Feast Day (May 30).

However, May 30 was not only Joan's Feast Day.  No sir.  It was also the Scripps National Spelling Bee Contest final.  What, you weren't aware of this?  Neither was I, but it came up somehow yesterday on either a search or some link.  I actually can't remember how I stumbled across an article letting me know about the Spelling Bee.

A Spelling Bee was fresh on my mind given the above, and so I took notice whereas normally I wouldn't have paid any attention to this news.  I also can't remember which article I first read, but here is the link to a Time article that I think might have been it or something very close to it:

https://time.com/6984203/bruhat-soma-winner-2024-scripps-national-spelling-bee/

The headline is "12-Year-Old Bruhat Soma Wins National Spelling Bee With Winning Word ‘Abseil’".

When I saw the headline, either in this article or one like it, I instantly thought of my son's school assignment, and specifically William's analysis.

I thought, "Wasn't Abseil the word that William noticed in the homework?"

Well, no.  It wasn't.  As I mentioned above, it was the French word Abeilles.  Close, but not quite.

But, if you look, Abseil is actually right there, all grouped within the first two columns of the original green box that William highlighted (highlighted below in the orange box).

That leave the letters L and E off, but that was easily recognizable as El, which has come up quite enough on this blog to help in instantly seeing it.  So, we have:

This gives us the phrase:

Peng Abseil El

Peng, you remember, was a word that didn't quite fit the Chinese word for Bee, whether current or archaic, but certainly suggested it.  However, Peng is an Elvish word, and so is El.  

Let's leave Peng aside for just a second, and focus on Abseil El.

To abseil means to rappel, or more specifically "to descend using a static or fixed rope".  Typically this is done off of a mountain, but one can also do so off other things like a helicopter, or something flying (you will see why I mention this in just a second).  And El, of course, means "Star" in Elvish.

Thus, we have a Star that is descending by means of a rope.

This brought to mind a dream that William had that he related in his post titled Weights depending, and flying ships with anchors.  In that dream, he found himself trying to lower a weight to an individual he thought of as his brother Luther:

I remember one scene in which I was paragliding over a beach -- or doing something similar to paragliding, but I could control the direction and altitude of my flight. I had a 14-kilogram dumbbell (it was labeled) which I wanted to give to someone standing on the sand. I didn't want to drop it from a great height, but neither could I afford to fly too low, so I tied it to a length of rope and lowered it. The rope wasn't long enough, so I still had to fly dangerously low. The person on the sand (who I think may have been my brother Luther) still couldn't quite reach it, so I let go of the rope and let it drop. It landed in the wet sand, and he was able to retrieve it just in time, before the rising tide made it impossible. I think there was also a magnet involved -- either the dumbbell was magnetic, or I wanted to give him a magnet as well as a dumbbell, or something like that -- but my memory of that part is too vague.

I had made mention before of the 14 kg dumbbell, because when I saw that weight, I  thought I understood what this referred to.  14 kgs translates to 30.8 pounds, or approximately 30 pounds if we round to the nearest weight a typical dumbbell would be labelled as.

You may recall a phrase I received regarding what I believe is a reference to a Stone, where its dimensions were given.  I wrote about this in my post Michael Jackson and the Stone.  What I did not specify there, or I guess have correctly, is that those words were received on the morning of May 6, 2020, in what I believe was an answer to my prayer from the night before about what I should do.  In the Michael Jackson post I had written that I thought I had received these words on May 1 or 2, but this was actually not the case, I would later confirm with Leo, who kept a record of the words I had been emailing over to him.  

On that night, I was getting much worse.  My mind was fracturing, I could feel it, and I prayed asking for help.  That next morning on the 6th, these words came.  Later that night I had my first and last call with Doug, and the next day I was in the hospital too mentally ill to function like a normal human being.

Those words went:

Yor El

8 inches, 30 pounds

Wait for it

The Yor El I have as a play on words for perhaps both "Your Star" and also "Ancient or Old Star".  With Star referring to a Stone (like in El-Anor, the Sun Stone).

The "wait" was likely a play on words for both to actually wait for this Stone, but also to reference it as a 'weight'.  Wait/Weight.  In my post called "Suspended in time:  Loosening girdles and deepening weights, and the Grey Lady of the New York Time, I made the link between Eowyn/ Izilba and this notion of a 'weight'.  You can reference the specific quote in the post if you want to.  William would also reference that post as he reflected on his dream of the weight.

Anyway, William dreamed of a 30 pound "weight" (what a dumbbell is called by people who go to a gym to lift weights) which I matched up to the 30 pound "El" or star-stone from these words.  It was pretty much a bulls-eye in my opinion.

But what a strange image of the weight being lowered or suspended from a rope as he flew around with whatever contraption he was using.

Which brings us back to the phrase in my son's schoolwork.  In William's dream, I believe we have an interesting image or scene of those two words:  Absail El, or a Star-Stone descending down a rope.

Curious.

Now to Peng.

Peng is an Elvish word that means "Bow".  Doesn't make a lot of sense on the surface, and I am not going to figure it out right now, but only log it and make an interesting observation.

The reason I think that this must be Bow, intentionally so, is that Bow has appeared in various forms in my 2019 and 2020 words, and remains somewhat of a mystery as to its true meaning.  In fact, the Elvish words that are up next that I said I would tackle before skipping any further ahead contain the other Elvish word for Bow, which is Ku.

Further, in another instance where Bow occurred in my words, it was from an interesting dream where at one point I found myself lying in a bed I knew was not my own.  It was completely white, and I was lying on the top of the sheets.  I turned part of the top sheet over and found words written on the underside.  Looking further, it was apparent that the entire underside of the sheet was covered in words.  I saw several things I won't cover here in this post, but at the end I specifically mentioned reading about a bow.  Here is what I summarized in my word file from whatever notes I had taken:

"... Also saw that 'bow' from my prior dreams might mean something different than a 'bow' (including lion dream).  Was going to keep looking [at all the words under the sheet], I believe, but [my youngest son] came running into the room (in my dream) and wanted to wrestle, so woke up."

It was interesting to read that my youngest son was in this dream and the strange reference to 'bow', and here this whole post and line of thinking is based on his schoolwork with the Elvish word for 'bow' deciphered from it. I mention a 'lion dream' above and I don't think I've recounted that one here, but that dream kind of kicked off all my Elvish words in 2019.  I've recounted the riddle dream regarding Asenath from mid-October.  The Elvish words for me started coming on October 24.  The dream immediately preceding that first word (same night/ morning), was this 'lion dream' mentioned above.  Maybe I should get a quick post written about that one here at some point.

In any case, we have here Peng Abseil El giving us the phrase of something like "Bow descending on a rope stone", which I am sure could be rearranged to make more sense, and I could be able to do it better if I understood better what "bow" meant here.  I have a guess or two, but nothing concrete.  We'll see if anything comes to me later.  If it does, it will obviously help with those other Elvish words as well.

Lastly, talk of a Star-Stone descending, and this being something one might have to wait for, brings to mind a song that has been on my running rotation for the past little bit - for awhile I couldn't get it out of my head.  A good old late 80's classic.
