Blessings.

The voice of the playa calls louder.

It calls in my dreams and through out the day.

"Home my children. Home to the Center. I await."

I'm ready to ride the winds. Grace and Charity bear me as their Light burden.

I know the Universe will provide yet agains.

Om Shanti, Om.

Blessed Be.

What the hell is happening in here? I just thought of something but now I forgot it. Something bothers my petty little mind and now I am thinking something that bothers me. Now, what is that something?

Every time I look at someone's post and they have edited it, I wonder if they took away, added to, or correctad bad puncaution(except fishy).

I never find the little comment that they sometimes put as to why they edited it anywhere near as witty as the person who posted it probably though it would look in the first place.

so, what of that little inner voice?

they say there are three types of writing: linguistic, mathmatical, music composition

but what would mimic the cord de vocal, while apparently lacking any means to do so?

is it an indelible inner projection, fostered from acclimating to meaning, projected unto stimuli, introduced and imprinted upon?

what would it matter?

where's your stress?

what's your discomfort?

is it drawn from and poured into the inner dialogue?

would it be there if it were not?

what else would bubble forth, if the grand canyon had not cut the course
carrying such mud

what's your mud?

is it ick?

or are you cutting... cutting ... cutting

deep into what you will to have become?

how often does synchronicity offer you it's zen slap?

or are you all 'two arms, to arms' when the thumbs might have memory of their own?

There was a worm on my work shop floor this morning, he asked me why I was up so early.
Cause I was to hot, I said. Why are you INSIDE my workshop and how'd you get in here?
He didnt answer.

I got cold.
I went inside and made coffee, then went back out into the workshop, and accidentally stepped on the worm.

A more explicit definition of self-actualization according to Maslow
is "intrinsic growth of what is already in the organism, or more accurately
of what is the organism itself...self-actualization is growth-motivated
rather than deficiency-motivated." This explanation emphasizes the fact
that self-actualization can not normally be reached until other lower order
necessities of Maslow's hierarchy of needs are satisfied. While Goldstein
defined self-actualization as a driving force, Maslow uses the term to
describe personal growth that takes place once lower order needs have
been met.

People that have reached self-actualization are characterized by certain
behaviors. Common traits amongst people that have reached self-
actualization are as follows:

They embrace reality and facts rather than denying truth.

They are spontaneous.

They are interested in solving problems.

They are accepting of themselves and also others and lack prejudice.

For Goldstein it was a motive and for Maslow it was a level of
development; for both, however, roughly the same kinds of qualities were
expressed: independence, autonomy, a tendency to form few but deep
friendships, a "philosophical" sense of humor, a tendency to resist outside
pressures and a general transcendence of the environment rather than a
simple "coping" with it.

if you could get even %1 of your efforts purely towards your happyness,
thing how large it could grow...

statistically, not larger than %100

to definite edges of an infinitely variable range...

are you tough enough to bide the ninety nine?

Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long

I'm still trying to keep this time from running out
Head down, always moving on and on and on

I never heard this warning, another early morning
Takes me, wakes me into

If you could manage me, I'll try to manage you
But lately it's all I ever do

I felt like this on my way home, I'm not scared
I'm passing notes in the Kingdom, I'm not scared

I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I know these things must bore you but I can't find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I love this leash that holds me, when I try to run away

I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I'm passing notes in the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I'm passing notes in the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I'm passing notes in the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I'm passing notes in the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared

Wonder is an emotion comparable to surprise that people feel when perceiving something rare or unexpected.

Unlike surprise, however, it is more definitely positive in valence and can endure for longer periods.

Wonder is also often compared to the emotion of awe but awe implies fear or respect rather than joy.

Bacon did not propose an actual philosophy, but rather a method of
developing philosophy. He wrote that, although philosophy at the time
used the deductive syllogism to interpret nature, the philosopher should
instead proceed through inductive reasoning from fact to axiom to law.
Before beginning this induction, the inquirer is to free his or her mind
from certain false notions or tendencies which distort the truth. These are
called "Idols" (idola), and are of four kinds: "Idols of the Tribe" (idola
tribus), which are common to the race; "Idols of the Den" (idola specus),
which are peculiar to the individual; "Idols of the Marketplace" (idola fori),
coming from the misuse of language; and "Idols of the Theatre" (idola
theatri), which result from an abuse of authority. The end of induction is
the discovery of forms, the ways in which natural phenomena occur, the
causes from which they proceed.

According to Locke, what we know is always properly understood as the
relation between ideas, and he devoted much of the Essay to an extended
argument that all of our ideasâ€”simple or complexâ€”are ultimately derived
from experience. The consequence of this empiricist approach is that the
knowledge of which we are capable is severely limited in its scope and
certainty. Our knowledge of material substances, for example, depends
heavily on the secondary qualities by reference to which we name them,
while their real inner natures derive from the primary qualities of their
insensible parts.
