Set

Set is a god of chaos, fire, deserts, trickery, storms, envy, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. He represents reconciled combatants of war and is the lord of the red desert. Set is a kind of in between god, not at the top like Zeus nor all that famous, like Achilles. Set is also called Seth sometimes. Seth is a strong name, suggesting strength. As gods go, he does alright.

A movie set is a place built to look like the scene the actors will play their parts in. It could be the main street of a town, with just the front face of buildings seen from the angle of the camera.

They can range from 1/8 of an inch diameter up to a few inches in 1/16 inch increments, or just a basic set of six

The set of the mind is the most powerful of all. When I set my mind to something, get out of the way, I’m on it, I’m going and I’m not to be stopped. Whoa, such power and sometimes the mind is set with little regard to the consequences. Neighbours have been known to live in a state of feud for long times and the source of it is but a misunderstanding. We might be well advised to take care in designing our mindset.
