hysteria

The term originates with the Greek medical term, hysterikos. This
referred to a medical condition, thought to be particular to women, caused
by disturbances of the uterus, hystera in Greek. The term hysteria was
coined by Hippocrates, who thought that the cause of hysteria was due to
the uterus wandering around the body in search of children. The same
general definition, or under the name female hysteria, came into
widespread use in the middle and late 19th century to describe what is
today generally considered to be sexual dissatisfaction.
Typical "treatment" was massage of the patient's genitalia by the
physician and later vibrators or water sprays to cause orgasm.

Hysteria is often associated with movements like the Salem Witch Trials,
McCarthyism, the First Red Scare, the Second Red Scare, Terrorism, and
Satanic ritual abuse where it is better understood through the related
sociological term of moral panic.

In spirituality, channelling or channeling is the communication of
information to or through a person (the channel or medium), from a spirit
or other paranormal entity outside the mind (or self) of the channel.

Channellers claim to have channelled ascended masters like Buddha,
Jesus, or St. Germain; people who have died; angels; higher dimensional
beings; and extra-terrestrials of a spiritual or more evolved nature.

The late professor Marcello Truzzi, a sociologist formerly at Eastern
Michigan University who co-founded the "Committee for Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal" and the "Center for Scientific
Anomalies Research", preferred to maintain what he calls "constructive
skepticism" until someone comes forward with channel information that is
evidential.

Cold reading is a technique used to convince another person that the
reader knows much more about a subject than they actually do. Even
without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still
quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by carefully
analyzing the person's body language, clothing or fashion, hairstyle,
gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education,
manner of speech, place of origin, etc. This technique is also called
profiling. Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about
the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to
whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then
emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects
acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses.
Image
Hot reading is the use of foreknowledge when giving a psychic reading. The foreknowledge is ideally concealed in order to offer a more impressive and apparently accurate reading.

The reader can gain information about the sitter (person getting the reading) through a variety of means, such as research or overhearing a conversation. Hot reading is commonly used in conjunction with cold reading (where no foreknowledge is available), and can sometimes be used to explain how a psychic reader can get a specific claimed "hit" of accurate information.

This technique is said to have been used by some television psychics. The
psychics may have clients schedule their appearance ahead of time, and
then send confederates to people's homes to collect information while
posing as religious missionaries, magazine sales people, or the like. Such
visitors can often gain a wide understanding of a person from examining
their home. Then the "psychic" may be briefed on the information and
where the person will sit in the audience.

A 2001 Time article reported that psychic John Edward allegedly utilized
hot reading on his television show, Crossing Over. In another incident,
Edward was alleged to have used foreknowledge to hot read in an
interview on the television show Dateline. John Edward has denied ever
using foreknowledge, cold or hot reading.

Mentalism is considered to be a branch of stage magic, featuring many of
the same basic tools, principles, sleights and skills in its performance.
Some performers add stage hypnotism to the mix.

One type of channeling is 'Conscious channelling,' in which the
channeller calms his or her mind and 'connects to the energy' of the
source being channeled.

however, this is not always the case.

Spiritual possession is a concept of supernatural and/or superstitious
belief systems whereby gods, daemons, demons, animas, or other
disincarnate entities may temporarily take control of a human body,
resulting in noticeable changes in behaviour.

While not all belief systems consider spirits to be purely good or evil, the
term demonic possession is commonly used when the spirit is perceived
as malignant (a demon), whereas incorporation or channelling may be
used in the case of benign spirits. Other terms applied to spiritual
possession include being ridden, being tied down, Get Happy, and Baptism
with the Holy Spirit. "Godforming" is a term often associated with these
beliefs; however, it is fundamentally different. Godforming is the
possessing of the qualities of an archetypal deity, and has nothing to do
with worship. It is rather the "possessing" of the nature of the described
deity, and not the deity itself. Generally, no belief in the deity
being "godformed" is necessary to the practice.

When she recognizes Puck she says,

Either I mistake your shape and making quite,
Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite
Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he
That frights the maidens of the villagery;
Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern
And bootless make the breathless housewife churn;
And sometime make the drink to bear no barm;
Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm?
Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are not you he?

To this Puck replies,

Thou speak'st aright;
I am that merry wanderer of the night.
I jest to Oberon and make him smile
When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile,
Neighing in likeness of a filly foal:
And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl,
In very likeness of a roasted crab,
And when she drinks, against her lips I bob
And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale.
The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale,
Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me;
Then slip I from her bum, down topples she,
And 'tailor' cries, and falls into a cough;
And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh,
And waxen in their mirth and neeze and swear
A merrier hour was never wasted there.

as well as cells and psyche.

to point to any particular part

makes me quite content with my own share of chi soup

i found myself able to reach goals and make acheivements
without struggling with those
who seek to do so atop soil and concrete.

at times such solace of pure mind/reflex development,
especially when the rest of the world
seems to turn slowly,
roasting in conflicted objectives
and skinny but potent sunbeams

but i listened,

and go outside.

the hunger for accomplishment went with me.

not contemporary ammenities, did i seek

as these flitted by
their impermenance was exemplified

nay,
soul midst the delusion of the possibility of weariness...

i sought to upgrade that which i run life through

and i prove time and time again
to myself
that i've always been on task

the tally you score
is not what you've been paying attention to

purpose ability expression;
association alignment environment

leaves me to dwell in ponder
of how profundity grows.

vibrant as the core
milky smooth; graceful touch flow

there is less dilution of experiencing the
desire to deepen meditative states; i bask in the

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;



astral sword in a body sheath
and this one ribbons of light

composed of words and personality
wondering what i could do with mine

They respond to stimuli

Patrick recounts that he had a vision
a few years after returning home:

I saw a man coming, as it were from Ireland.
His name was Victoricus,
and he carried many letters,
and he gave me one of them.
I read the heading:
"The Voice of the Irish".
As I began the letter,
I imagined in that moment
that I heard the voice of those very people
who were near the wood of Foclut,
which is beside the western sea
—and they cried out,
as with one voice:
"We appeal to you, holy servant boy,
to come and walk among us."

a supposed prophecy by the druids :

Across the sea will come Adze-head, crazed in the head,
his cloak with hole for the head, his stick bent in the head.
He will chant impieties from a table in the front of his house;
all his people will answer: "so be it, so be it."



certain forces are aligned with certain forms
is a quagmire of using abilities for their most effective purposes



mary's good new about wrath:

The first form is darkness,
the second desire,
the third ignorance,
the fourth is the excitement of death,
the fifth is the kingdom of the flesh,
the sixth is the foolish wisdom of flesh,
the seventh is the wrathful wisdom.
These are the seven powers of wrath.

"The dust storm passed,
the rain cleared,
and with the sun setting,
my friend and I wandered off into the desert
- cala lilies in hand."



theoretically i am my own apprentice
with fewer moral qualms
then cybergrafting a new plant

but i do wonder...

efficacy

what conundrums must i face
tell me when future friends
shall no longer weild them

they flutter and twirl
caring little for their context;
universe placing thisway and that

this universe glows
to show itself
for our benefit

your moment is yours to use as you see fit

the cost of losing sight of your own humanity
is dear, indeed

yet it's sometime about allowing the "desire to transcend"
take root

without needing linguistic comprehension

i like to see people become wise



A nazirite or nazarite, (in Hebrew: נזיר, nazir),
refers to a Jew who took an ascetic vow.
The term "nazirite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir
meaning "consecrated" or "separated".

the world would be a much nicer place.
but you don't have to take my word for it

it is not enough, for you to leave off
identifying with verbs

for you to be skating, dancing, and
playing and think "I AM SKATING, DANCING
AND PLAYING" is to lose sight.

surely lying somewhere inside of you
is all the same latent potency which
did shine forth in your most glorious moment
thus far.

it would be wise to use that
when playing the "I AM __________"
game

it's rough, living off the land,
when they cover it in concrete
and decorative flora.

but lost in their dreams,
fraught with their cares,
i muse poinglently

always we're aware of being enveloped
in this moment, you and i. a spark jumping
through place and time. this was no ordinary
spark. this was a rememberance.

though any re-semblance
through a continuum of moment

could just be ripples

but it would be disingenuous to reduce life to a corroboration of vocabulary

could perform feats
another could merely hope (ill advised)

i have discovered
that one must sometimes factor in

in the world where everybody's reaching for a gun
a wise man reaches for a mantra
and makes it applicable

i figured the training would be an asset

can we differentiate between potential energy and kinetic?

respect is more than kudos...
it's essential for life



how to make a point with paradox:

one must practice folding context back upon itself
in the heat of zeal
until without a moment's warning
one can pluck answers from the ether



dreams be-not foes;
but reflections-of id

cast your lot
sure and true

... how easy it is...
to just let go

parts of mankind

grow your head...
the rest will follow

...do you think that will help?

your current way of life

...are you having thoughts?

the sky's no secret...
most just don't see it for what it is

if they only knew what the sky can do...
to say nothing of straight-up dna

distracted?...

shall we take it piece by piece?

that's what i think of this

In relation to the arm, during an eccentric contraction of the biceps
muscle the elbow straightens and the hand moves from shoulder to thigh.
An eccentric contraction of the triceps muscle occurs when the arm is bent
and the hand moves in the opposite direction. Desmin, titin, and other z-
line proteins are involved in eccentric contractions, but their mechanism is
poorly understood in comparison to cross-bridge cycling in concentric
contractions.

In popular usage, eccentricity refers to unusual or odd behavior on the
part of an individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as
unusual or unnecessary, without being demonstrably maladaptive.

the word itself is often employed to euphemize or invert a connotation of
madness hence the phrase "there's a method to their madness", implying
inscrutable complexity or originality in lieu of the dismissible randomness
of common lunacy. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be
the outward expression of his unique intelligence or creative impulse. In
this vein, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they
are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind
so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms.

In astrodynamics, under standard assumptions, any orbit must be of conic
section shape. The eccentricity of this conic section, the orbit's
eccentricity, is an important parameter of the orbit that defines its
absolute shape. Eccentricity may be interpreted as a measure of how
much this shape deviates from a circle.
