imagine a yeti
standing on an ice covered peak
with the perfect view from which to comprehend his situation

but alas, ice is slippery
and his large feet, strangely enough, impell the ice to release streams of linguistics
when he slides

yet all he has is but to realize the occurance
and realize he is back at the top

if change is a function of the physical universe
and thoughts inherently change,
they are a part of the physical universe

as is the changing perception
of the changeless peace within

An amulet (from Latin amuletum; earliest extant use in Natural History
[Pliny], meaning "an object that protects a person from trouble") or a
talisman (from Arabic طلاسم tilasm, ultimately from Greek telesma or from
the Greek word "talein" which means "to initiate into the mysteries.")
consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its
owner.

Potential amulets include: gems or simple stones, statues, coins,
drawings, pendants, rings, plants, animals, etc.; even words said in
certain occasions

The word talisman also describes a number of consecrated magical
objects used in Hermeticism.

Instructions for how to create a talisman can be commonly found in
Grimoires. These talismans, sometimes called pentacles, were usually
either made to protect the wearer from various influences of disease and
other forms of danger or to protect the wearer from demons and to seal a
certain demon under the users control.

Bahá'u'lláh, founder of the Bahá’í Faith, emphasized rationality rather than
the esoteric elements of Bábism, though some of his prayers, for example
the 'Long Healing Prayer', contain talismanic protection. In his Tablet of
Maqsúd he writes "Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper
education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently
possess..." And then "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable
value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable
mankind to benefit therefrom."

The strongest suedes are usually made from grain splits (that have the
grain completely removed) or from the flesh split that has been shaved to
the correct thickness. Suede is "fuzzy" on both sides.

In the last decade, hemp was widely promoted as a crop for the future.
This is stimulated by new technologies which make hemp suitable for
industrial paper manufacturing, as a renewable energy source (biofuel),
and the use of hemp derivatives as replacements for petrochemical
products.

Casting is a manufacturing process by which a molten material such as
metal or plastic is introduced into a mold, allowed to solidify within the
mold, and then ejected or broken out to make a fabricated part.

Casting is used for making parts of complex shape that would be difficult
or uneconomical to make by other methods, such as cutting from solid
material.

Investment Casting (The Lost Wax Process) is a process that has been
practised for thousands of years, with lost wax process being one of the
oldest known metal forming techniques. From 5000 years ago, when bees
wax formed the pattern, to today’s high technology waxes, refractory
materials and specialist alloys, the castings ensure high quality
components are produced with the key benefits of accuracy, repeatability,
versatility and integrity.

The Navajo utilize a natural method for silversmithing, by carving molds
from Tufa Rock, a fossilized volcanic ash.

This design for an amulet comes from the Black Pullet grimoire.
Embroider it upon black satin, and say "Nades, Suradis, Maniner", and a
djinn is supposed to appear; tell the djinn "Sader, Prostas, Solaster", and
the djinn will bring you your true love. Say "Mammes, Laher" when you
tire of her.

Hypnosis is a process in which critical thinking faculties of the mind are
bypassed and a type of selective thinking and perception is established.
Although some individuals experience an increase in suggestibility and
subjective feelings of an altered state of consciousness, this is not true for
everyone. In fact, some supposed hypnotic indicators and subjective
changes can be achieved without relaxation or a lengthy induction by
means of simple suggestion or waking hypnosis, a fact that increases the
controversy and misunderstandings around hypnosis and the hypnotic
state.

Walking hypnosis
Also known as environmental hypnosis, this is a naturally occurring trance that one can enter whilst
performing a monotonous repetetive task, such as walking or gardening,
or in sedentary pursuits such as listening to a lecture or reading, in which
one's attention drifts from the task into a trance-like state, often known
as "zoning out". This natural reaction to boredom is often harnessed by
athletes to render them oblivious to distractions, especially physical
symptoms of pain and fatigue, and the state is known in this context as
being "in the zone".

Individuals can be trained in how to enter this waking hypnosis state.
Many students learn how to use waking hypnosis in their classrooms so
that all the information they receive is permanently embedded in their
subconscious mind and can be accessed whenever needed.

Self-hypnosis (or autosuggestion) -- hypnosis in which a person
hypnotizes himself or herself without the assistance of another person to
serve as the hypnotist

"a person can act, some time later, on a suggestion seeded during the
hypnotic session. Post-hypnotic suggestions can last for a long time. A
hypnotherapist told one of his patients, who was also a friend: 'When I
touch you on the finger you will immediately be hypnotized.' Fourteen
years later, at a dinner party, he touched him deliberately on the finger
and his head fell back against the chair."

"hypnotic procedures influence behavior indirectly by altering subjects'
motivations, expectations and interpretations"

Common hypnosis phases

Preparation

The first phase typically involves having the subject comfortable.

Induction

Induction takes the subject from normal awareness.

Deepening

Where conscious thinking is minimized.

Purpose

The subject is encouraged to see themselves as what they want to become.

Awakening

The awakening phase is when the subject is taken out of the hypnotic
state.

Another physiological definition states that the theta state is required for
therapeutic change. The theta state is associated with hypnosis for
surgery, hypnoanesthesia (the use of hypnosis to numb sensation of
pain), and hypnoanalgesia (the use of hypnosis to decrease sensitivity to
pain), which occur more readily in the theta and delta states. Anesthetics,
sedatives and hypnotics disrupt neuronal synchrony, thought to underlie
theta waves, in both humans and animals, as well as in simple neuronal
circuits.

Research studies suggest neither intelligence, sex, nor personality traits
affect responsiveness to hypnosis and that hypnotize-ability may in fact
be hereditary or genetic in nature.

normal, non-hypnotized subjects can be found in any of these states of
cortical arousal without also displaying any of the behavior, traits or the
enhanced suggestibility associated with being hypnotized.

In dentistry, hypodontia is the condition of naturally having fewer than the
regular number of teeth. In Caucasians, the most commonly missing
teeth are the wisdom teeth (25-35%), the upper lateral incisors (2%) or
the lower second premolars (3%)

They are generally thought to be called wisdom teeth because they
appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people
are supposedly wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt.

Turkish language refers directly to the age at which wisdom teeth appear
and calls it 20 yaÅŸ diÅŸi (20th year tooth). In Korean, its name is Sa-rang-
nee (사랑니, love teeth) referring to the young age and the pain of the first
love. In Japanese, its name is Oyashirazu (親知らã

Ancient man used sophisticated drills to treat tooth decay, according to a French anthropologist who turned up evidence of fine dental work in ancient Pakistani cemeteries.
Writing in the respected British journal Nature, Roberto Macchiarelli of the University of Poitiers said Neolithic man used drills made of tiny pieces of flint up to 9,000 years ago.

That means dentistry is at least 4,000 years older than first thought and far older than modern anesthesia.

30 BC

Octavian defeats Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII of Egypt at the Battle of
Actium (September 2, 31 BC). On August, 30 BC the victor captures
Alexandria. Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra commit suicide, and their
young children are raised as Romans, but her son with Julius Caesar, co-
ruler Ptolemy XV Caesarion, is executed. Egypt is annexed to the Roman
Republic, and Octavianus becomes the undisputed ruler of Rome and her
subjects. This would soon lead to the creation of the Roman Empire.
Herod the Great builds Masada, between 37 BC and 31 BC, as a refuge
for himself should his Jewish subjects rise against him.

Significant people

Mark Antony, Roman politician and general (83–30 BC)
Pharaoh Cleopatra VII of Egypt (lived 70/69–30 BC, reigned 51–30 BC)
Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, known in English as Octavian, Roman politician and general (62 BC–14)
Pharaoh Ptolemy XV Caesarion (lived 47–30 BC, reigned 44–30 BC)

Hi Fire elf....

Just thought Id pop in to say hi!

[the fire elf]

not intending to cast myself in the role of ever-contrary,
but my perception of the interaction differs in some fundamentals...

this is a shared resource wherein you do not "pop in"
nearly so much as you choose what to "pop up" and view and or participate with

and to interject with a greeting while we sit so far apart

on a structure designed to supplant previously relied up modes of mass communication

is it the box of words on the screen which is greeting me?

is not context as potentially a distributable as happy or terrified thought>?

and is this nothing more than a distinct collection of context
stored on device with identifiers and timestamps
with enough room to spare for a witty saying or two?

if your desire is to interact, commendable...

but we have not met here...

we have merely shared an experience of identical stimuli
through differences of perceptions and frames of mind
