In Ancient Egypt,
a pyramid was referred to as mer,
literally "place of ascendance."

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest in Egypt
and one of the largest in the world.

There are others in our religion
who are inwardly pure and awakened,
but who do not outwardly display their attainment.
These are known as sages
and often live as secluded munis
or wander as homeless mendicants,
remaining aloof from the world.
Satgurus are the masterful guides and mystical awakeners
who bring us into the fullness of spiritual life.
Image
Guru protocol, as outlined in the Kularnava Tantra and Guru Gita,
defines the traditional
ways of relating to one's spiritual preceptor
to draw forth his wisdom and blessings
and fully understand their inner nature.

In philosophy,
materialism is that form of physicalism
which holds that the only thing that can truly be said to exist is matter;
that fundamentally,
all things are composed of material
and all phenomena are the result of material interactions;
that matter is the only substance.

Metaphysic's name
derives from the Greek words μετά (metá) (meaning "after")
and φυσικά (physiká)

(meaning "after talking about physics")

The Ishayas' Ascension technique involves thinking a short phrase,
known as an Ascension Attitude,
whenever a thought is noticed.
Image




light show involves the use of light to entertain an audience.

Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration
is a wider development of Postural integration,
an alternative body-psychotherapy method,
which attempts to help individuals
to become aware of themselves in their body
and empowering them to change their "bodymind"
- their bodies, their emotions and attitudes.
Image

At a practical level, PPI is an active therapy
in which the patient/client and practitioner (psychotherapist) interact
to release blocked energy and to guide the development of awareness
in both,
thus enabling clients to increase their sense of well-being,
their capacity to feel,
their ability to express themselves,
to develop their self-awareness and consciousness.
Image

























Practitioners claim that the use of the Attitudes remove root stresses
and expands awareness,
resulting in a complete transformation of personal experience.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_carta wrote:... also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"),
is an English charter
originally issued in 1215.
Magna Carta was the most significant early influence
on the extensive historical process
that led to the rule of constitutional law today.
Magna Carta influenced many common law and other documents,
such as the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights,
and is considered
one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy.

Magna Carta
was originally written because of disagreements
between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons
about the rights of the King.
Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights,
respect certain legal procedures
and accept that the will of the king could be bound by the law.

this world is composed of atom,
as well as cells and psyche.

to point to any particular part
like "i'm not ok with that"
is to
point into a bowl of chunky chi soup
with disatisfaction...

such a clear cleft from the reality of the situation
makes me quite content with my own share of chi soup

if you have hope,
that's wonderful.

do something with it.

turn it into something even more useful.

i choose to surround myself with peace.

why start a new fight,
when there are many left to be finished?

you can be a fighter on this world
in a myriad of ways...

you could even be a fighter
that does not increase the amount of fight,
but detracts from what is already there.

i would call that a finisher

Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as Traveler's Palm or Travellers Palm, is a species of banana-like plant from Madagascar. It is not a true palm (family Arecaceae) but a member of the bird-of-paradise family, Strelitziaceae. It is called the travellers palm because the stems hold rainwater that can be used as an emergency drinking supply. The enormous paddle-shaped leaves are borne on long petioles in a distinctive fan shape aligned in a single plane. Unlike its close relative the Bird-of-paradise, the flowers are small and inconspicuous. The plant is widely cultivated for its distinctive foliage in tropical and subtropical regions.

Do not forsake the mind for the sake of the body; and do not forsake the body for the sake of the mind. The spirit wells forth in accordance with your ability to maintain a clear channel through these things. The fact that the sun burns has kept bacteria from taking over this place.
