<p style="text-align:justify;">Here is another Aura Paper from the Cromlech Temple. Now, I've just spotted an article on the Cromlech Temple by Chic Cicero in the latest <a href="http://www.hermeticvirtues.org/dnn/HVMagazine/tabid/63/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Hermetic Virtues Magazine </a>. Unfortunately I cannot link directly to the article as the magazine costs money. Not that there is anything wrong with that.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Chic gives a good overview of the Orders activities and mentions a little on the Aura Papers, including the one I plonked up in this <a href="http://magicoftheordinary.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/aura-paper-xxiii/" target="_blank">post</a>, Aura 23, concerned with <strong>SEX</strong>. :) I hope the little GoogleBots pick up that post as Chic, like many other people, looks forward to more of the material being made public...and of course Magic of the Ordinary is doing its part :)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am hoping more Aura Papers and other Papers from the Cromlech Temple will follow as well as some Magical Church Society and RR et AC material. It is easy to dismiss the Aura Papers such as this one as dated, replaced by more sophisticated expositions. I did myself for a number of years. However, if one gets beyond the style and conventions used there is still much of interest in the papers for the practicing magician as well as the magical historian. In fact there are some hidden gems.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have scanned in the original and also spent a few hours typing it into Word to make a PDF version. This is because i now know beyond a doubt that my original electronic versions done on a venerable <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64" target="_blank">Commodore 64</a> 20 years ago are not readable anymore. Such is the karma for leaving it so long and storing vulnerable media in dubious places :(</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Anyway, the boring unformatted text is below - as i am not sure the GoogleBots crawl WordPress PDFs. The scanned paper  is here: <a title="Aura VII" href="http://magicoftheordinary.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/aura7comp.pdf" target="_blank">aura7comp</a> (this is <strong>large, 5MB</strong>), and the scanned text here: <a href="http://magicoftheordinary.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/short-teachings-on-the-auravii1.pdf" target="_blank">Aura VII Transcription</a>. Enjoy or ignore as you will :)</p>

<p align="center"><span style="color:#993300;">Short Teachings on the Aura  VII.</span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="color:#993300;">By Frater ShMSh</span></p>
<p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#993300;">LIFE, HEALTH AND DISEASE.</span></strong></p>
<p align="center"><span style="color:#993300;">Application of the foregoing</span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="color:#993300;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">As to the Duplication of the Aura</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The duplication of the Aura is the key to the elementary <span style="text-decoration:underline;">practical</span> application of the Teachings of the Aura, especially as to Health and Disease. And it is from want of understanding of this that exoteric physicians stumble in the dark. Nevertheless this great key is now intentionally hidden from a faithless generation. So that even those physicians who know can do but little in works of healing, since their words will fall on deaf ears and their advice will not be followed. Those, however, who desire to do good for the sake of good and for the Lords of Light shall find many among the poor and the ignorant (too ignorant to be faithless) whose sickness they may alleviate, whose troubles they may soothe.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Thus, as has been previously said, one of the best and highest of our Adepti is labouring as a physician in an obscure town and great are the cures he performs - yet for the most part it is among the despised and rejected of men - for never shall he win fame or fortune in this generation, and he seeks it not.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Much, however, may be done, and those who desire worldly success may have it, if they believe and obey.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Arabs, once the greatest physicians in the world, understood the duplication and worked accordingly, and thus many wonderful cures were effected. By a knowledge therefore also any person may cure himself. Now the first and elementary principles shall be set out, so that the beginnings of the knowledge of this key may be grasped before anything further is known.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Know then the Aura is essentially dual, as indeed are all created things; and in our elder symbology and symbols and diagrams this was represented by the figure of two spheres one within the other. (This was the true origin of the Chinese ivory balls, now cut as a toey, and whereof the Chinese themselves have for centuries lost the meaning. In fact, with the teachings of Buddhism, the more ancient and mystic teachings of the Sun Order were forgotten in China.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The two spheres, however, is not an accurate representation of the double Aura - for the two sets of symbols are in fact intermingled with each other - neither is one nearer to the centre than the other. But the difference between them is this - when the one set of symbols, or one of the dual halves of the Aura, is vitalised, or any symbol pertaining thereto, the man is conscious thereof; but when a symbols from the other set is vitalised, he is not directly conscious thereof, but acts thereupon as though automatically.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">From both sets of symbols there pass currents of vital force constituting what may be termed a vital field within the Aura - and from the symbols of the one half to the symbols of the other also these lines of force pass and re-pass.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now there is no name in any language now spoken for these dual parts of the Aura. Because, as has been said, the knowledge of this key has been long hidden.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the language of the Incas of Peru, the words used maybe freely translated "The Aura of the Actions of the Day" and "The Aura of the Dreams of the Night".</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now bear in mind that when a symbol belonging to the latter class is vitalised, whether from within or without, the effect is precisely as has been described in former teachings as to the symbols of the Aura, save that the man is unconscious thereof, unless haply a symbol of the Aura of the Actions of the Day is also vitalised by a cross-current, and thereby ariseth a feeling the origin of which he is ignorant of.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Illustration</span>:- Suppose a man in depression and gloom walks along the street, his mind concentrated on something he sees. Suddenly and without any outward cause his spirit is lightened - he thinks of woods and streams and sunshine - he is exhilarated, his depression vanishes. He says perhaps that some evil influence has passed away. Yet the cure may arise simply from the duality of the Aura thus - Far away and not <span style="text-decoration:underline;">consciously</span> heard by him was played a tune last heard in boyhood in merry days by woods and streams. Thus the tune had been long forgotten, and so had the scenes associated therewith - that is to say the symbols had passed from the Aura of the Actions of the Day into the Aura of  Dreams of Night. Yet the unconsciously-heard melody vitalised the symbols whereof the man was unconscious, and these in turn vitalised symbols on the Aura of the Actions of the Day, which my reason of overstrain of the vital force lines pertaining thereto could not be <span style="text-decoration:underline;">directly</span> vitalised, and these symbols tending to joyousness and youth commenced the process of cure.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The physician who has studied hypnotism will see therein the inner truths of cure by suggestion (which is in truth the beginning of the revelation to mankind of the duality of the Aura) and also will see its limitations, being as it were <span style="text-decoration:underline;">only a beginning.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Consider now the vital force lines - their symbols on the Aura are termed "nerves", and though the only thing which really exists is a current of aetheric-magnetic force running in certain courses, yet symbolically they appear as tubes, and to the fully developed sight as tubes covered with symbolic figures, being in fact Auras within the Aura.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And of these "nerves" there are two systems, the one belonging to the Aura of the Actions of the Day, the other to the Aura of Dreams of the Night.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now the secret of perfect health lieth in the maintenance of a perfect equilibrium between these two halves of the Aura. And in every living human being there is an equilibrating and harmonising force placed as it were between the two Auras whose function it is to reconcile the difference.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The knowledge and power of invoking and working with this force (which is sentient and intelligent) constitutes the science of healing.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the blind groping after truth which sometimes attains a partial revelation, this force is sometimes  termed the Vis Medicatrix Naturae. Whenever this spirit of Equilibrium is disturbed or displaced by the over-exercise and preponderating functioning of one or other of the dual parts of the Aura, there occur the initial seeds of disease, and then symptoms which are known to the physicians as nervous irregularities are plainly marked, but for the most part are neglected.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">By way of illustration, that this part of our subject be clearly understood, let us consider two well-marked and well-known examples of the over-exercise of the two parts of the Aura. First, taking the Aura of the Actions of the Day, and remembering that the lines of force of the symbols thereof are the physically well-known nerve system - which is in reality a system of Auras - and remembering that only a certain amount of vital force can be carried along these conducting lines - If then, by continuous vitalising of the symbols of this Aura, more force is driven along the conducting lines than they can bear, there must ensue an overvitalising of the symbols on the surface of that Aura which we call nerve tubes; and these symbols, according to the Universal law of the Aura, begin to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">flicker</span>, not holding steadily any one form, and imparting with their vital forces in vain endeavour to vitalise more symbols than the vital force is sufficient for.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The symptom of this flickering of the nerve Aura is what is termed irritation - or irritability, and this should never be neglected, for it is a sign of loss of equilibrium, which may then be readily regained if proper means be taken - but which, if the Spirit of Equilibrium be not strong enough to regain control, may result in serious illness.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The sign of healthy action of the Aura of Actions of the Day is what may be termed zest, a joyous appreciation of all that is pleasant to the senses, a cheerful facing of labour, a certain childlike glee - and this may be preserved even to extreme old age and in spite of many troubles, if only the equilibrium of the two halves of the Aura be maintained. But in the great majority of Westerns the Aura of Actions of the Day is vastly over-strained and damaged by flickering and by leakage, till the symbols grow distorted, and recovery becomes very difficult; while the Aura of Dreams of the Night, whereby cure might be effected, becomes atrophied, and the cure more difficult on this account also - and this state is sometimes termed neurasthenia, and exoteric physicians, in ignorance of its true nature, prescribe change of air and scene - which indeed, sometimes mitigate the immediate evil, because, by vitalising fresh symbols and fresh currents, they somewhat relieve those that are over-strained - but they know not that it is always <span style="text-decoration:underline;">the same Aura</span>, already overtaxed, which they are further vitalising, and still further destroying the equilibrium.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In subsequent teachings more will be shown of what we here call the Spirit of Equilibrium. But it is essential first to give a rudimentary idea of the first elements of the subject.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So likewise, the giving of drugs which stimulate the action of exhausted currents of vital force along the nerves of the Aura of Actions of the Day is often pernicious and increaseth the evil - good only when it enableth the Spirit of Equilibrium once more to restore the lost balance.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now the true method of cure is to repress and inhibit wholly the activity and vitalising of this Aura, and to stimulate that of the Dreams of the Night, of the symbols and image whereof the man is mainly or entirely unconscious.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For this purpose absolute stillness is essential - all should be arranged to suggest the impossibility of any active or positive energising. Thus the patient should be kept entirely undressed and in bed - warm and always recumbent. The condition to be aimed at should be that between sleeping and waking, when visions float easily through the mind - any reading should be as far as possible removed from action and actual life - e.g. fairy tales, poetry, travel and adventure in unknown lands, and there should be as little reading and as much dreaming over it as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Should any friends visit the patient they must never speak or allow him to speak of anything suggesting action or the practical doing of anything. Everything of this nature must be imperatively forbidden.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Also, as the course of the series Tatwas vitalise in turn every region of the Aura, so must this treatment continue for 24 hours at least, and for a mild and slight attack this should suffice. But if it yield not, then the time should be extended - to three times 24 hours, 3 x 3 x 24 hours = 9 days.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In some cases, too, it is better by suggestion and otherwise to depress the patient - excluding the light, using sombre hangings, forbidding visits of friends and all news of the outer world. let the physician in such case watch carefully for the signs of the dawning of imaginative functions. The appearance of these will show that Equilibrium is beginning to be re-established, and more cheerful suggestions may be employed.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The converse of this is known as hysteria, and ariseth when the Aura of Dreams of the Night hath functioned over-much, and consequent flickering of the symbols has occurred - often by this very flickering accidently vitalising some symbols of the Aura of Actions of the Day, thus creating delusions to the conscious senses and producing uncontrolled actions of nerve and muscle. In many natural seers, especially those who give themselves unguided to occult work, this condition is frequent.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Naturally the remedy is the reverse of the preceding - by rigid and careful attention to exact details in action. "Think not, but do" should be the wise physician's advice; and in giving this, he should consider the symbols in the Aura of Actions of the Day most easily vitalised in the patient, judging thereof by his tastes and inclinations, and using his trained judgment, and also in fitting cases using suggestion or even compulsion. All imagination must be repressed, all action encouraged, until equilibrium be restored.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is no part of the function or within the authority of the Masters of the Sun Order to supply a system of medical practice. What we can do and will do for those who receive our teachings is to show such points in the nature of the works of the Creator as to enable the disciple our Order, if he will attend thereto, to preserve his own health and to formulate a body so free of weakness and disease of any kind that there in it may be possible for him to meet the Masters face to face. Further, such knowledge as we impart will enable the Adept physician of our Order, if he will attend thereto, to formulate a system based on knowledge, and  no longer empiric.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yet know that we give only the rational method whereby cures take place - what we have termed the Spirit Of Equilibrium in fact works the cure in every case - the patient and perhaps the physician may work against this spirit, yet the Spirit may be strong enough to effect a cure in spite of their ignorant efforts.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, this Spirit, (of which more will be revealed at the proper time) is, as has been said, intelligent and sentient, and can be commanded by the Lord of the body of the patient - or, with proper formulae, by the physician - can be strengthened to an extent as yet uncredited, or can be paralysed. And in this way is accomplished the healing with a touch or a word. This power, however, cannot be given; it must be acquired by long effort, and the foundation thereof is clairvoyance.</p>
<p>Already in our instructions we have shewn how clairvoyance may be developed, and ye have been directed to a school and a system the most perfect at present accessible for the purpose. When clairvoyantly ye can recognise the Spirit of Equilibrium, then may ye learn the formulae whereby that Spirit may be compelled and strengthened. But know clearly that these so-called occult methods of healing can be obtained <span style="text-decoration:underline;">in no other way</span> - and in the way we have pointed out they can infallibly be obtained.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Furthermore, the importance of the Key now revealed, viz. the duality of the Aura, is by no means confined to so-called nervous disorders. For consider the first example we have given of the excessive functioning and overstrain of the Aura of the Actions of the Day. The leakage of nerve-force and the flickering of nerve aura produces a condition sometimes exoterically termed inflammation of the nerve sheath. Now on the material plane, the products of this inflammation are acid, and hereby accrues the incidence of a large class of diseases such as Acidity, and all the consequent diseases following on, indigestion, gout rheumatism, and all of this class, the peculiar character which the disease takes being determined by the symbols involved, i.e. those which are over-charged, and those towards which flickering takes place.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The key to the prevention and cure of all these lies in the knowledge and in the careful and detailed study of the duality of the Aura as above indicated - and only when a stable equilibrium is established is a cure effected. But neither are the possibilities of cure confined to cases of this description - for when once the duality of the Aura and the Spirit of Equilibrium are thoroughly grasped there is formulated the human reflection of the most Supreme Trinity, the Triad of Life - and by the potency of this Triad may any symbol be altered or modified - and thus the deformed and maimed, halt or blind may be rendered sound and whole. Thus in the elder days of Faith were miracles of healing wrought - and thus may they be wrought again.</p>
<p>Brethren, meditate on these things.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I originally put this up as a main page, but since most of this is going to change later on anyway, and it's not going to be a priority for a while, it's been demoted to a mere post. Oh well :-)</p>
<div class="entry">

<p>Although published the following would be fiction, or a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonfiction_novel" target="_blank">nonfiction novel</a> at best, the following book is in fact an autobiographical account of the more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism" target="_blank">mystical</a> (for lack of a better word) side of myself. Due to its fundamental nature and premise, this book is written more metaphorically than anything else.</p>
<p>Although I cannot confirm this anymore than the main character, I have the same conviction as that character that these things are indeed the truth. I strongly believe that the each letter of which the Bible is composed, the writings of Joanne Greenberg, as well as others throughout history, have shared similar experiences as myself, albeit some of which the source of these varies, and even conflicts with.</p>
<p>Although I cannot possibly expect anyone to believe any the above, I’m confident that science-fiction and fantasy lovers alike should full appreciate the Essence of the Soul, and its sequels (which there most definitely will be)</p>
<p>*Note there will be a quite a bit  of editing (once I get around to it), particularly in the first half- so “stay tuned”*</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Essence Of The Soul</span><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
<span style="font-size:85%;"> <span style="font-size:x-small;">by Justin Benjamin</span></span></span></p>
<p>By which method can one determine reality? We have guides all around us, things like the senses, logic, and the perceptions of those around us, but does it not vary from person to person, even if only the slightest? In addition, with all honesty we can only accept that this reality we are bound by is wholly attributed to the past. What if reality was something to be discovered, is something to be explored? Most choose to leave those questions unanswered, and accept the reality created by the past. Some indulge in determining their own fate, but “in reality” are still bound by the same legacy; many of these would not realize this even if they were told, because the vast majority of the rules bestowed upon us are painfully unsaid. It would seem that this would sum up all those that are governed by this antiquity in one way or another, But let us not forget the select few that make the choice to abandon these limitations and create their own reality- although some do not yet know they have made the choice.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;"> Chapter 1- The mysterious piano</span></p>
<p>In the the elevator of Congress Library’s Madison Building, all inside were backed against the walls, most of which seemed to be holding their breath…except one. Was this person dangerous? No. Did he have a deadly illness that was highly contagious. Most definitely not. But Jason Thomas did have a quality that seemed a novelty in this day and age- His life was not influenced by society in any way, shape or form. In fact, he actually influenced society. Not only that- his disconnection from the rules of society even extends to his ideas about life. To put it bluntly, he believes what he want to believe, and his logic is highly original. It should be noted that having a logic as unique as this prohibits believing in something that anyone but him came up with, which of course means he does not believe in Big Foot, aliens, and other supernatural phenomena that have echoes through the centuries.</p>
<p>However, this does not explain why all but himself are against the wall, barely drawing breath. Well, the answer to this is comparably simple- He had simply casually mentioned that he had a deadly and contagious disease, and went on to explain the details, endlessly (to those around him) building upon the fearful visual. Within the first 30 seconds, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that he indeed had the disease, and furthermore, was mentally unstable. Jason is actually one of the most honest people you’d ever meet, and probably is the most candid. That being said, how could he lie so convincingly? The answer would shock most, so try to keep an open mind- He can because he is so honest. Now before you get worked up about this paradox, Let me explain: Jason’s honesty allowed him to realize that reality cannot be defined, or if it can that definition is not static. Thus, because at least one version of reality involves him having a deadly and highly contagious disease, He could easily believe it and cause others to as well. In truth, however, for him to get sick was so rare a thing that some may call it an omen. He could count the times he’d been sick in his life on his fingers.</p>
<p>Jason loved playing mind-games, although sometimes he loathed this about himself- people don’t like others to mess with their heads, and so at times this hobby of his resulted in social isolation. The habit was so hard to break (since it’s so damn fun), so he gave up trying to break it, although he still thinks about it on occasion. He also didn’t care much for what people think about his actions. Not that he didn’t take other’s thoughts into consideration, but usually he found that his original thoughts were best. That’s the kind of person he is. You could say that most of the time he just took in others’ perspectives as a courtesy. Understandably, sometimes he wondered why he even bothered.</p>
<p>Now they had reached the first floor, and as the doors opened, all those inside scrambled out like bats out a cave. Jason gave himself a moment to take in the pleasantly comic scene, and then proceeded to head home. Pulling of acts like this are actually a daily occurrence for him, so you might wonder at what kind of person he is, having that much time on his hands. The truth may surprise you- the reason he has that much time on his hands is because pulling off acts like this is his job! Now as convenient as this may sound, most of the work isn’t that easy. Sure he got to indulge in his favorite hobby, but that was only for ten minutes of each work day. The rest of the time, he wrote notes, analyzed data, researched statistics. These were all the things that he was good at, so I guess you could say it was the perfect job for him. The results of his work have a significant impact on the future of society, and he knows it- but the goals that he has in mind far exceed even that. Well, that being said, even Jason is not yet fully aware of the extent of his goals; much of this is still buried in his subconscious, waiting to be discovered.</p>
<p>After Jason got home, he received a call on his cell immediately after stepping out of the call. He heard the familiar trance tone he selected, and immediately knew that it was someone he did not know. The reason why he chose trance for these cases were that both trance music and the idea of getting calls from random people were both very exciting to him. Perhaps his anticipation was correct in this case…</p>
<p>But in this case it was someone he did know- it was his good friend Tony.</p>
<p>“Bet you were wondering who was calling, huh?” he remarked.</p>
<p>“Well actually, my cell just died, so I had to use the pay phone. I knew I should’ve replaced it by now, and speak of the devil!” Jason grinned.</p>
<p>“Well anyways, listen- there’s these rumors going around about this mysterious piano. But these aren’t the everyday rumors- no one has any actual information on it, and we all know if it was made up, someone would be a better job. I thought you’d want to check it out. Me personally, well you know me- I’m not the one interested in that stuff. Why don’t you check it out?”</p>
<p>“You read my mind- hey Tony, did I ever tell you I have something of a hobby for playing piano?”</p>
<p>“No, you haven’t. That being the case, what kept you from telling me until now?” Tony asked.</p>
<p>“Don’t be silly- I just said it’s <em>something</em> of a hobby. You know well that my other hobbies are a whole lot more that something. The truth is, I just never got around to telling you, or even thought about it. I was too preoccupied with those other hobbies, as I’m sure you understand.”</p>
<p>“Ok you got me, I give!” They both laugh. “Okay, I won’t give away any spoilers, I know you wouldn’t like that. The address is at 828 PROSPECT PL, 53703- so yeah, it’s pretty near here. So I’ll leave things at that- I’ll catch you later then.”</p>
<p>Tony was more than a friend, he was a brother to Jason. Actually, he didn’t follow the philosophy of ‘blood’s thicker than water.’ Sure there is an undeniably convincing amount of history behind family bonds, But that was about the only thing that could support that type of thinking in his mind. Plus Jason never really spent much time with his family, so he didn’t know any of them at all. One exception was his cousin Joy. But the ironic thing about it was that neither he nor any of his immediate family knew of her existence until after he had reached the age of majority. To this day, he still didn’t know much about her, but he kind of liked it that way- so Jason didn’t press her about her past.</p>
<p>So Jason got in the car, and headed down to the address he and Tony discussed, but halfway down there, something changed. he didn’t know what it was, but was sure that it was important. It was a bit surprising, because there is the inevitable question “How could I know that something changed if I don’t even have the slightest idea of what it might be?” But instead of worrying about this question, he marveled at it- and kept his mind occupied with what it might be. Not for long though- because soon he found such an engrossing thing was too dangerous while driving.</p>
<p>Upon reaching the place, Jason suddenly became aware of the location of the piano, as well as the things surrounding it…all while not knowing why. This is getting to be very interesting! he thought, but if he had been able to see into the future, I doubt he would have said that. Not that is wouldn’t be very interesting, but that just those words wouldn’t cover it. But not only was he aware of the piano, but he felt drawn to it- no just from interest, but almost magnetically. As he approached the piano, a song ran through his head- a beautiful song, no only that he’d never heard, but in a language he was sure was not from this earth. But at the same time the voice in the song did maintain an air of humanity. He felt a growing sense of calm at first, but just as a color spectrum blends together tones that normally clash, The feeling shifted to a a growing passion, melancholy, and ecstasy, as well as others. Awed by the utter splendor of the song, and the undeniable power it possessed, Jason was speechless. He had always be the inquisitive type- but never until now had the questions been so numerous, or so profound. He wanted answers, and knew there was probably only one way to find them.</p>
<p>So he sat at the bench, and began playing the song running through his head. This was not a problem, since Jason was an expert at improvisation. As he began to play, the voice began to changed to blend in harmony with the original song. Upon realizing this, Jason decided to take the challenge and concentrate on improvising the original part. The resulting piece was, quite frankly, out of this world; pity it wasn’t recorded. As he continued to play, Jason began to see a shadow taking form beside him. This must be the owner of the voice, he thought. He was determined to learn more about this person, the secret behind the beauty of her voice, and how she was related to the mysterious piano, and the supernatural aura surrounding it. With that motivation, Jason continued playing with passion worthy of recognition. The shadow grew in clarity, and eventually took the form of what seemed to be female- but the bright and warm glow made it clear that she was not human. But at that point, the song drew to an end. At that moment, she began to fade. But before she had completely disappeared, he distinctly heard her say a few parting words.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>“For the past few centuries, I have been trapped within this…piano. Well, at least that’s what it is now…I don’t have time to explain. I have been very lonely here, and you not only freed me from this prison, but helped me to remember the joy of the simple things in live. In thanks, I will bestow upon you some of the mysteries of the world.”</em></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
With those words, she vanished completely, and to his great surprise, the piano along with her. At this point, Jason had a whole lot of questions and no answers, and he thought that quite ironic, especially since she had said that she would bestow upon him mysteries of the world. At least from th surface, it was quite the opposite- she had bestowed him the first mystery he had not solved…Well, of those that he had actually tried to- there are more mysteries than the whole world could even hope to solve in their lives. This being the case, it was clear to him that her words extended beyond human knowledge, and the truth would probably come with time.</span></span></p>
<p>So with that thought in mind, Jason decided to let the truth find him, and began to make his way back home. But even that being said, he was so absorbed in thought, he neglected to call Tony back, and when he decided to call Jason to see what was up- from the outside one could assume he was ignoring it. Finally, Jason heard it- and the shock could have driven him out of his skin if it were loosely attached (which fortunately it was not).</p>
<p>“Hey Jason, what’s up? I was getting worried about you man- with you not calling and then all this time I’ve been calling you- I’ve been worried sick about you.”<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">That was an exaggeration, but it was true that Tony was worried. After all, there isn’t a decent friend out there who wouldn’t be/</span></span></p>
<p>“Yeah, sorry about that- I’ve been really deep in thought. Like you said, it really wasn’t an ordinary mystery. Hey listen, sorry to do this to you, but can we wait till tomorrow to talk about it?”</p>
<p>“No problem- don’t worry about it. That’s my job. Well, guess I’ll be looking forward to the details in anticipation. Hey listen- take care of yourself, okay?”</p>
<p>“I’ll do that- thanks for your concern.” The truth is, Jason didn’t know why he felt the need to put off the talk. It’s true that he was confused, but there was more to it than that. Something told him that he would be best off doing it that way. Perhaps the beginning of the revelations of which the unknown woman (”it”?) was referring. Well, it could have been just wishful thinking, but in this case Jason might not have been relatively close to the truth- or, perhaps the absence of it.</p>
<p>As he lay in bed, Jason was overwhelmed with what seemed to be a trance. Well, not that he would know, not having even been in one- but it was at least exactly what he imagined one to be. But as he “smoldered” in a daze, he became engrossed in the dancing of lights in the shadows of him apartment. He felt a mix of peace, ecstasy, and…Suddenly Jason realized that these all these feelings and the way they blended was exactly the same at it had just hours before while he was listening to the voice, and playing the piano in harmony with it. With that realization, he broke out of the trance instantaneously, and in the same moment realized that under normal circumstances, lights would not dance in the shadows at night.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Moments after that, he heard a voice speaking out to him. At first the words sounded like gibberish, and had a more chaotic tone, but intuitively he took the initiative and forcefully calmed himself. Then, he reasoned that since this voice was in his head, in order to communicate he had to speak on its terms, which in this case was telepathic.</span> <span><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span><br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span><em>Who are you? I somehow feel that you are close to me, but at the same time far away. Please help me to understand what is going on. </em></span></span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">In all honesty, Jason was not even aware of that much until that instant. It was as if at the very moment that he established communication, a small glimpse of the truth had been revealed to him all at once. That, and he was also able to respond under those pretexts at the same time. Well, perhaps it was a bit different, but there are only so many explanations available, considering that the time frame is limited to milliseconds. </span><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
<span><em>I am very surprised that we are even able to communicate- this has never happened before. Not in the trillions of years that we have existed. I know everything about you- but, as it is to be expected, you know nothing about me. Normally universal law states that we are not to enlighten humans of the true nature of things, or about their connection to ourselves. But it seems that another of our kind has already done so- and, as is the nature of these things, there is no going back. I don’t know if this is for better or worse, but if you don’t mind I plan to take full advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.</em></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">At these words, Jason became exhausted, and once again fell into a trance. When he finally came to, he was in a world unlike any other. Next to him was a man, glowing with the same radiance of that of the woman that night, and also taking a similar form. Rather than questioning his surrounding (he knew better) Jason took the initiative and began the introductions. “Since you know everything about me, it’s only fair that I know a bit about you. let’s start with your name.”</span></span></p>
<p>“Good question- and the answer is not so simple. Souls- if that is what you would call us, do not have names. The reason for this is that we could not bear to taken on such superficial traditions. Instead, we prefer to familiarize ourselves with each other’s auras-the signature or dna of each individual soul. This is especially appropriate since we only communicate telepathically.”</p>
<p>“On that note, I noticed that right now we are not using that method, but instead as “humans” do. Explain to me how this works.”</p>
<p>“Ah, yes, of course! See, I’ve enveloped us in an illusion for your convenience- seeing as how it can be a bit awkward, if not disconcerting for one such as yourself to communicate in the “normal” manner.</p>
<p>“One more thing…-” he was cut off. “Perhaps it would be better if I read your mind and give you all the answers in an instant.”</p>
<p>“That would be quite convenient…ok go right ahead.”</p>
<p>In that moment Jason learned of this place, of the connection between souls, and several things were cleared up with the answers he was given. To be safe, the soul only informed him of the bare essentials, partly because the development of the human brain was a group effort- and as such no single person had an completely accurate understanding of it. Another reason was because communicating with humans directly, although has happened, only happens about once every 100 years, and only in special circumstance. Thus, the nature of such communication is fundamentally experimental.</p>
<p>The place in which they were currently “conversing” was a middle-ground between dimensions, the realities of souls and of humans. This soul, which prior to these events had been assigned to him, was able to take Jason here using dreams as a catalyst. The reason why it could be done in this way is because this area was the closest to the human psyche- and as such could be reached by an ordinary human while dreaming. At some some point in their life, most humans actually have crossed over to the dimension of souls- but because it is a dream, few if any have ever been able to realize understand, or believe this knowledge- simply because “it was only a dream.” This place is conveniently also the best place for humans to exchange thoughts on a subconscious level, which of course is the best way to exchange thoughts- because there is no better way to ensure applying knowledge effectively.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Even a stranger with an untrained eye would see this place as a utopia, and Jason, a well-prepared and open-minded individual, could fully appreciate the magnificence of it all. He scanned the area, demonstrating uninhibited admiration. But before he had more than a glimpse, He collapsed exhausted in the radiant depths.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<hr />
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">What seemed an eternity later (which is clearly disconcerting, considering that he had been in a dream-state for the previous encounter) he heard a faint voice in the darkness, whispering with a voice comforting, but also stern and serious…</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><em>You must understand- the others are not aware of these circumstances, so we must act with caution, to avoid a conflict. If such a dilemma were to arise, I may not be able to save you…</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Jason thought he recognized the voice-it sounded vaguely familiar. But his mind was in chaos and struggled to retrieve the most minor of details. He wanted to speak, to ask the voice if he knew it (or him), but the words would not come out. He was helpless.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><em>The others have already discovered your presence- A moment more and you would have been completely assimilated. Humans like yourself would not survive such a process, it’s fortunate that I sensed the trouble in time.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Jason recounted his thoughts. The last thing he remembered was Tony recommending a mysterious piano worth investigating…Jason went over there, but what happened next? He could not remember, and his head was throbbing…</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><em>You seem to have experienced side effects of the partial assimilation. Well, this is to be expected…</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">At that moment, Jason felt a jolt so violent that he thought that his body would go into shock. He was then thrust into a dimension that defied any concept of understanding. He was completely lost in confusion as he drifted weightlessly, surrounded by translucent bubbles composed of matter shifting and fluctuating at such a rate that any single form did not reveal itself long enough to be properly assessed by even the keenest of minds. If his head had felt ready to split prior to this, that pain had somehow grown exponentially, exceeding any and all concepts of “unbearable”. Still unable to speak, Jason desperately called out to anyone, anything that might ease his pain, give him peace. At this point he was sure that he had gone mad, or that his life was about to come to an end.</p>
<p>Then with the same abrupt nature as the first wave, a second wave permeated Jason. This one was of the same overwhelming intensity, but the suffering was replaced with the ecstasy, and the pain with pleasure. The torture that he had previously experienced, which possessed the mysterious quality of seeming both an eternity and a moment, was replaced with this antithesis that only paralleled in terms of magnitude and brilliance. What’s more, earlier half of this phenomenon had begun to slip from his mind. It first began with his mind becoming clouded, and those once vivid details losing their clarification. Then he began to doubt that these feelings had ever actually existed- possessing quality more akin to wisps of smoke than reliable tangibility. Finally he became aware of these shifts of judgments, and desired for these feelings to recover, that he may understand in full the significance of them. There was a great sorrowful aura present amid that of great joy, and such a combination presented itself as being of the utmost importance.</p>
<p>As he relentlessly struggled towards finding the reason and underlying meaning of all this, a third wave pulled Jason away from it, and the ensuing exchange of willpower threatened to consume his body, if it were not ravaged to dust first. Then a miracle occurred…</p>
<hr />A familiar voice called out without words, beckoning Jason to yield, and with such sincerity that he could not refuse. Jason obliged, and was subsequently swept away in the torrent of ceaseless chaos, until finally he experienced what would be the final wave. As he braced himself in foreboding of the eminent intensity, he was taken off guard by an incredible passivity, devoid of all passion. As he zoned in further though, seeking any underlying details in hopes of reaching a better understanding, the wave balanced out, and weaved in and out of itself with a likeness reminiscent of a strand of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the building block and blueprint of life itself. After having realized this, a melody reached his ears; resounding notes blended together in harmony, reaching out from the depths of oblivion. Or rather than blended, they seemed to be independently joined, but how could this be? After speculating on this, Jason became aware that these notes were in fact parts of one being, although he himself could never understand why, despite having no conscious reason for coming this conclusion, this seemed to be an indisputable truth, devoid of all doubt. At this point Jason had finally become relaxed, and completely alert, and attended to his instinctual desire to better understand his surroundings- namely the melody. But it soon became obvious that this was not necessary, as the melody, and entity thereof, was prepared to divulge all that he needed- or rather, wanted to know regarding the nature of these things, and- more importantly, the Essence Of The Soul.<em>I’ve finally reached you…</em></p>
<p>Jason’s surroundings began to contort, that is, if contortion of such substance was possible. He felt himself being pulled…carried by something like wind. Reality itself had redefined itself, so it was futile to be sure of anything. Somehow, that gave him a feeling of peace, and even more of satisfaction. Where did these feelings come from, they were ones that Jason was sure he had never felt in response to such circumstances. Normally he would have been confused, anxious, upset, and others of a similar negative nature. In such chaotic circumstances, that would be only natural. But he was not questioning these irregularities out of concern, but out of curiosity. Like never before, he longed to understand all that he could of this being, feeling a bond so strong that it seemed inseparable, to such a point that even time possessed not the power to break it. And yet he also knew not why he could have such confidence in these things, having no actual knowledge of any of these surroundings, much less the entity enveloping  him. As Jason pondered these things pensively, he finally took a moment to once again reexamine his surroundings, and was taken off guard: The entity had wrapped him in something like a cocoon, which he now floated weightlessly in comfortably.</p>
<p><em>There are many things to explain; the excitement of it all, of our meeting is a blessing- I have long anticipated this, and finally…</em></p>
<p>He now became aware that, although he understood these thoughts as if they were words, and of his language…In truth he was hearing the words in two different ways- the way that this being best understood, and that which he best understood. The more that Jason listened, the more that he sensed the blending of their understanding. At first they were two different languages, embedded in one stream, but as their thoughts flowed freely, they came together as one. Their thoughts had begun to merge…</p>
<p><span><em>I see that you have realized it-</em></span><em> the</em><span><em> nexus </em></span><span><em>that has brought us together…kept us together…allowed us to harmonize so beautifully!<br />
</em></span><br />
Without a doubt, this was indeed the case; Jason was sure this must be the case- it was without doubt in his mind, after contemplating on the underlying harmony and consonance weaved into their communication. But at the same moment he realized this, he felt an incredible, mysterious attraction to this being. Was this passion? No. Was it instinct? Most definitely not. Although he knew it would be exceedingly difficult to grasp the meaning of it all, it was clear that becoming one with this entity was a necessity, with the reason why seeming minuscule in comparison with the need, which commanded such an urgency that could not be ignored or disregarded.</p>
<p>All of this time, Jason had been remarkably silent, something he knew was out of character for him. He had become content with merely observing, and why? The answer came to him instantaneously- it was because he was dumbstruck by the breathtaking and surreal nature of his surroundings, which clearly defied any concept of reality to which he had ever adhered to or even heard of before. At first, he concluded that he had discovered the answer to he question by means of deductive reason or logic, but the entity cut off his thoughts…<br />
<em><br />
No, the answer you have received was not, as it may seem, the product of your own reasoning- although this itself also was a gift to your kind, and it may have assisted in the dilemma we now face. I have bestowed to you the gift of kn</em><span><em>owing the answer to any inquiry regarding the underlying reason of anything- That is, any time you ask “Why?” you shall know. Now you will forget all of these happenings, and those things that played a role in our meeting shall remain forgotten. This is a necessity, that which is meant to be, and so it shall be. In time, however, you shall recover your memory of these things; when the time is right you will know. Your journey will be long and filled with troubles, but without a doubt you will find the Essence of the Soul. When you finally find it, all that was hidden will be revealed- though there is much in the world that is hidden but not known; the reason that life is worth living is indeed because we will never know all the answers</em><em><em>.</em></em></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vedi l’aura umana</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Impara a vedere l’aura umana in tre fasi semplici, e bastano solo cinque minuti di preparazione. Imparaerai come gente sensa saperlo puo limitare le loro abilita di vedere l’aura a causa delle loro aspetazioni. Impara come con poco allenamento e cosistensa uno puo aprire un nuovo mondo di percezione e sensi!</p>
<p>L’aura umana</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quante volte ai sentito gente parlare delle aure? Il campo di energia che essiste intorno e  incompassa il corpo umano. Molta gente capisce il concetto ma pocca gente la vese. Molta gente assume che solo la gente che riesce a vederle sono I medium e i vedenti. Ma se erano viste piu  regolaremente che pensavi? E se ogni giorno gente come io e te potresse vederlo in cinque o dieci minuti di sforzo. E se ogni giorno molta gente le vede con regolarita, ma lo respingono perche pensavano che eun trucco di luce  oppure non era abbastanza incredibile per essere un aura?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> qua ce una technical che uno puo uttilizare  per vedere laura umana base, ed e qualcosa che qualsiasi persona con la mente aperta puo ottenere. Una cosa che si deve capire che al inizio uno non vedra una spesa colorato incadescente campo di energia. Uno vedra una debole delineare Bianca  intorno la testa e spalle che si trovera ciraca due o tre pollici dal corpo. Questa delineare Bianca puo anche sembrare quassi trasparente.</p>
<p>Abbiamo tutti visto quadri a tre dimensioni prima d’ora, sai quelli che devi fissare e rilassare I tuoi occhi , e tutto di un tratto bam, quello che era nascosto e ora ovio. Vedendo le ore e molto simile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Lunica cosa che ti serve per cominciare e un partner disposto e un muro vuoto.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Chiedi al tuo partner di  stare in piedi contro il muro bianco oppure uno scuro, sono entrambi accetabili, pero piu vuoto e la parete piu facile sara a vedere.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2..metidi circa 7 a 9 piedi di distansa dalla persona contro il muro. Lascia lampegiare I occhi un po e prova a rilasarli. Il trucco e non sforzarli su un punto aprticolare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3.Quello che vuoi fare e focolizarti sulla testa del tuo partner, da qualche parte tra il ponte del naso e  I capelli. Vuoi focolizare la tua vista maggiore in questa zona ma usa la tua vista periferale per vedere intorno la testa e le spalle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Se ce lai fatta a rilasare abbastansa I occhi , quello che vedrai sara molto sottile al inizio. Al inizio e anche possibile che lo respingi  pensando che un trucco del occhio o un trucco della luce. Il malintesso commune e quando uno vede l’aura e un campo mistico di energia che radia quarto piedi dal corpo con multi colori che inondano il campo. Questa e una aspetazione irragonevole per la mente non allenata. Prima che ai riuscito a correre ai dovuto imparare prima a camminare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Al inizio e perfetamente accetabile vedere solo una linea Bianca sottile. Con allenamento  e una mente chiare uno puo  migliorare I loro risultati e  raccogliere  di piu  avvistamenti del aura. Roma non era custruita in un giorno! Essere paziente con se stesso. Con solo poco allenamento riuscirai a vedere aure basilari, intorno tutti tipi di cose viventi e  inanime, da amici a alberi, quadri in casa  tua a machine in un parcheggio, il segretto e di non aspertarti troppo quando inizi.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aspetazioni irragionevoli sono normalmente quello che distrugge  le esperienze della gente. Li causa a non riconoscere quello  che vedono, e assumere che non la stanno vedendo perche si aspetano piu visioni fantastiche. Dinuovo il segreto di sbloccare questa visione extra sensoriale, e di avere aspetazioni realistiche  e avere cosistensa in quello che fai.  Queste tre fasi facili potrebero essere l’inizio di rivelare un mondo nascosto dai tuoi occhi, e forse un passo fantasctico verso un mondo piu magico!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>non so se dovrei aggiungere questo ma:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>se riesci a vedere laura, be allora cosa credi che e un entita? possibilmente un umano senza il suo corpo! e se riesci a vedere un aura, allora riesci a vedere un fantasma?? non voglio svelarvi tutto.... ma pensaci bene!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><a title="NAB - On the Warrior's Path" href="http://northatlanticbooks.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781583942192" target="_blank"><em>On the Warrior’s Path</em></a> connects the martial arts with the larger perspective of developing body, spirit, and awareness, and merges subtle philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Nietzsche with Bruce Lee, radical Taoism and Buddhism with the Star Wars Trilogy, traditional martial arts with basketball and American Indian culture. At the center of all these phenomena is the warrior. Though this archetype seems to manifest contradictory values, <a title="Daniele Bolelli" href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=77392" target="_blank">Daniele Bolelli</a> describes the heart of this tension: how the training of martial technique leads to a renunciation of violence, and how overcoming fear leads to a unique freedom. <a title="NAB - On the Warrior's Path" href="http://northatlanticbooks.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781583942192" target="_blank"><em>On the Warrior’s Path</em></a> brings fresh insights to why martial arts remains an enduring and widespread art and discipline. This second edition includes two new chapters that focus on spirituality in the martial arts and the author’s personal journey in the field.</p>

George Washington—one of his many aliases—starts out as the classic trickster figure, a blend of con artist, deep thinker, and willing object of white women’s sexual fantasies. Fed up with life in racist America, he leaves the rural South for Denmark on a curious quest, determined to discover if there is “any mother fucker in this despiteful world who ever told himself the truth.” In Denmark he spends his days bantering with fellow black expatriates and his nights bedding a series of white women who project their desires on him. Inevitably, these worlds collide, with Washington, aka Anthony Miller, aka Paul Winthrop, aka Mr. Jiveass Nigger, increasingly alienated in a world of opportunists. A return to America after his self-imposed exile promises transformation, but is Washington too far gone?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin:0 6.85pt 0 0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Garamond;">Existen además de la medicina tradicional, otras filosofías sobre la forma de sanar; algunas de ellas han conseguido ser aceptadas por parte de la sociedad y algunos médicos convencionales, pero para otras existe aún cierto recelo en su aceptación. En esta ocasión hago un breve resumen sobre los CHAKRAS. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Garamond;"></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin:0 6.85pt 0 0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Garamond;">Según la filosofía oriental los chakras son centros neurálgicos o puntos de energía espiritual situados en el cuerpo astral y que tienen correlación en el centro de la médula espinal y en los plexos nerviosos del cuerpo humano, creen que las enfermedades, sufrimientos y conflictos humanos se deben a desequilibrios o dislocaciones en el funcionamiento de los Chakras. Este sistema está formado por el Aura (</span><span style="font-family:Garamond;"><span style="font-size:small;">campo electromagnético que resulta del hecho de que el hombre es una fusión de tres energías mayores, la primera está ligada al cuerpo físico, la segunda a su vitalidad y la tercera a su alma</span></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Garamond;">), los Chakras (centros de energía)<span>  </span>y los Nadi (canales de energía)<span>  </span>Originalmente los chakras se vinculaban a una divinidad femenina llamada KUNDALINI, descrita como una serpiente que duerme, enrollada tres vueltas y media alrededor del primer chakra. El nombre procede de la palabra Kundala que significa "enroscada". En la tradición tibetana e hindú, esta diosa despierta y comienza a subir, chakra por chakra, hasta alcanzar la corona en la cima del cráneo. Al atravesar cada chakra produce el despertar de la zona o plano correspondiente y cuando la travesía ha concluido se dice que el individuo ha alcanzado la iluminación completa. </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Garamond;" lang="ES-TRAD">En orden descendente, el <strong>séptimo chakra</strong> se encuentra en la parte superior de la cabeza y se conecta con el cerebro superior, el <strong>sexto chakra</strong> se encuentra en medio de la frente (se le conoce como el tercer ojo) y se conecta con el cerebro inferior, los ojos, las orejas y la nariz, el <strong>quinto chakra</strong> se encuentra en la columna vertebral, debajo de la séptima cervical y se conecta con el aparato bronquial y vocal y los pulmones, el <strong>cuarto chakra</strong> se encuentra en la columna vertebral al nivel de la parte inferior de los omóplatos y se conecta con el corazón, la sangre y el sistema circulatorio, el <strong>tercer chakra</strong> se encuentra en la columna vertebral a la altura del ombligo, en la cintura y se conecta con el estómago, el hígado y la vesícula biliar, el <strong>segundo chakra</strong> se encuentra al final de la columna vertebral, en el sacro y se conecta con los riñones y la vejiga, y el <strong>primer chakra</strong>, se encuentra en el perineo, y se relaciona con el aparato reproductor. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amber Yoder is an Associate Producer for Paul Devlin Productions, an independent film company in New York. She is also an artist, a screenplay writer, and a filmmaker. And...you guessed it...she is my daughter. Of course, I love Amber as a mother loves a daughter. But I also <em>admire</em> Amber as a person and as a professional. When I hear other women complaining about their daughters, I feel sorry for them. I was blessed with Amber. I have learned so much from her.</p>
<p>Last spring, Amber graduated from Denison University and moved to New York City to pursue her dreams. There's no doubt in my mind that Amber will leave a big and positive mark on the world. In the future, I will show you some more of Amber's pieces and also some interesting video from Paul Devlin Productions.</p>
<p>Amber looks at the world in very unique ways, and her pieces always reflect this unique vision. In one series of art prints, she climbed inside a hole in an old tree to photograph the world from the inside out.</p>
<p>The following short art film is one of my favorites from Amber's college days. It is a very thoughtful piece and quite poetic in nature. For the filming, Amber snuck into some old houses that were scheduled for demolition in an area not too far from her school. The broken picture of the American flag was a random object in the house. On the same day that Amber was filming this, I wrote the poem you will see below. I did not know her topic, and she did not know mine, at least not on a conscious level. Our connection is sometimes eerie.</p>

<h2>The Window Seat</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>by Julie Buffaloe-Yoder</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next to rain warm windows, rusty screens,</p>
<p>wood makes a seat wide enough</p>
<p>where children disappear behind curtains,</p>
<p>dream, maybe find last year's pink candy</p>
<p>that was hidden, forgotten.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are spots of life on old wood</p>
<p>gummed with the fingerprints</p>
<p>of some day in summer</p>
<p>when tiny blue butterflies</p>
<p>zig zagged past and June bugs</p>
<p>pinged on the screen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is always a clay figure there</p>
<p>molded by hard, little fingers,</p>
<p>spelling bee certificates,</p>
<p>school pictures faded stiff and maybe</p>
<p>cherry drops melt on sun soft wood</p>
<p>because a grandfather gave them</p>
<p>to a girl who pretended to cough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are curtains, fat with wind,</p>
<p>that smell like bacon cracking</p>
<p>in a big black pan.</p>
<p>Rows of green tomatoes</p>
<p>turn yellow, then red, forever</p>
<p>leaving circles of small stains.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A girl carved her name there</p>
<p>with an old pocketknife</p>
<p>the night she overheard</p>
<p>her father sobbing, and babies</p>
<p>have chewed that same spot</p>
<p>for more than a hundred years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There might be a fly there, sun crisp,</p>
<p>on its back, maybe missing a wing,</p>
<p>not antiseptic and pretty but</p>
<p>a source for neverending stories.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pennies stuck there,</p>
<p>once lifted,</p>
<p>leave faces in the wood.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is a life there that sings</p>
<p>because that is what wood will do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But when the dark storm blows,</p>
<p>the window will be closed.</p>
<p>That breath, frozen in time,</p>
<p>for a moment, disappears.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eventually, old wood will be</p>
<p>boarded up, broken, forgotten,</p>
<p>replaced by pressboard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How quickly plowed down.</p>
<p>Not easily sold.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bei <a href="http://www.nordkapp.ch/weblog/" target="_blank">Jrène</a> habe ich den Test über <a href="http://de.tickle.com/test/aura.html" target="_blank">die Farbe der Aura</a> gefunden und, weil ich gerade nichts Besseres zu tun habe, als auf den Beginn des Fußballspiels zu warten, habe ich den gleich einmal gemacht.</p>
<p>Und das Ergebnis ist: <strong><span style="color:#45b984;"><em>Die Farbe Ihrer Aura ist Smaragd!</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#45b984;"><em>Wir benötigen kein Medium, um feststellen zu können, dass Ihre Aurafarbe smaragdgrün ist.</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#45b984;"><em>Ihre strahlende, erfrischend-grasgrüne Aura deutet auf einen entspannten und gesunden Menschen hin, der eine sehr ausgeglichene Lebenseinstellung hat. Wo auch immer Sie sind, Ihre Bodenständigkeit, Ruhe und Gelassenheit begleiten Sie. Sie haben etwas von der Bescheidenheit und Aufgeschlossenheit eines Blumenkindes. Vielleicht haben Sie auch einen grünen Daumen oder Sie sind der geborene Arzt, der Menschen heilt, denn Sie sind sensibel und mitfühlend. So zuverlässig wie Mutter Erde, und so natürlich wie die Früchte, die sie trägt, so sind auch Sie.</em></span></strong></p>
<p>Das passt, glaube ich ganz gut.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://marculyseas.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/karma-mechanics-colour-mark-ulyseas-copy1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-196" src="http://marculyseas.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/karma-mechanics-colour-mark-ulyseas-copy1.jpg?w=220" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Somewhere in Bali, nestling in the cracks and crevices of society are the karma mechanics, aspiring avatars of the likes of Osho, Maharishi Yogi and their kind. They carry the weight of mankind’s troubles on their shoulders. And this is odd because no one has asked them to do so. Nor, in my opinion, are they qualified in even the remotest sense of the word.</p>
<p>The karma mechanics are people lost in a brave new world, clutching at straws in the wind. The straws being the bits and pieces of eastern religious instruction they have collected on their brief journey from sideshows in their own countries to the daunting Asian Diasporas that have art, culture and religion compressed over the ages into layers like sedimentary rock formations.</p>
<p>They are akin to the untrained motor mechanics that miraculously appear on an Indian road when a car breaks down. Knowledge of the workings of the engine is irrelevant. Fiddling till the engine regains life is all that is needed. Money changes hands and every one is happy. Life goes on oblivious to the density of the mental capacity that has just been displayed!</p>
<p>I have had the honour of meeting a few of these karma mechanics who can fix anything from a leaking aura to the more complex problem of the ‘re-alignment’ of someone’s spiritual engine that has been derailed and needs to get back onto the magnetic lines of the Universe.</p>
<p>Many of us may recall that inspiring book by Robert M. Pirsig – Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; the travels of a motorcyclist and the philosophical discussions that transpired along the way. The karma mechanics have not read this book and when confronted with the reality of their lack of knowledge they respond by calling it a cult book and therefore not worthy of any mention.</p>
<p>And when I spoke recently to Joe, a mechanic, of Carlos Castaneda, the silence-hung heavy in the air and the only sound that could be heard was one of ignorance. Fortunately for him it was broken by an elderly expat from New York who winked at me and whispered in my ear ‘magic mushrooms’.</p>
<p>We shall not delve into the Yaqui way of life. Not now, for we still need to cruise through the world of the mechanics to understand the tools of their trade.</p>
<p>Joe told me that the tools he uses are tarot cards, ‘mind readings’, silent sittings, synchronising one’s chakras with the help of yoga and more importantly teaching one the ways of the Buddha. Apparently Buddha is in fashion not Cat Stevens who converted to Islam. Often one encounters mechanics massaging drinks at restaurants some aptly called Buddha something or the other, loudly beginning a sentence with ‘the Buddha says’ while sinking their teeth into a rack of succulent ribs.</p>
<p>But don’t let these visual impressions dissuade you from using their services. I have it from reliable sources that Joe has fixed the leaking aura of a friend of mine. It so happened that she heard it dripping in the night like droplets of water hitting the base of an empty bucket. Not a good sound when one is lost to the world. And how did he do this, no one is saying.</p>
<p>And then another buddy of mine, Dave told me that he had been guilty of many past sins before he arrived on the isle. After he met Joe, the bad karma that he had carried with him in his hold all had been dispensed with through a series of give and take. He gave money to Joe and Joe took it, besides of course counselling him to commit good acts in the present continuous.</p>
<p><em>"Herman Kuhn quoting from Tattvarthasutra describes karma as – a mechanism that makes us thoroughly experience the themes of our life until we gained optimal knowledge from them and until our emotional attachment to these themes falls off."</em></p>
<p>Now where is Joe when I need him to explain Kuhn’s observations? Last I heard he was on a visa run.</p>
<p>There are other mechanics some who have gained much respectability through a pragmatic approach to karma problem solving. Janice is a fine lady from a European country who has settled comfortably in Bali providing ‘karmic advice’ to lost souls who approach her out of guilt – the result of their unseemly past. She has given them crystals to wear, specially blessed stones and advice on the specific colours of clothes to don for designated days of the week, the Full Moon and some phases of the moon being an exception. She is a one-woman service station that appears to be consistently effective in the overhauling of run down spiritual engines of weary travellers. Word on the street has it that she offers a money back guarantee for unsatisfied customers. This is a good business practice however what if one returns as a dog in another life how will one collect the refund?</p>
<p>Karma mechanics have mastered the art of trivial pursuit through acts that obfuscate the real issues at hand. They fiddle with the soul engines of hapless people who arrive at their doorstep seeking reconciliation with the universe for a misspent life. But as we all know everything is relative and so is our religious make up. For example, if one is a Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or Jain the Law of Karma will apply.</p>
<p>But in the case of a Christian what does one do? Does the Law of Karma apply to him or her? Didn’t Christ die on the cross for the sins committed by humanity? And what about Heaven and Hell? Where do these two fit in, in the grand scheme of the Universe?</p>
<p>And there are those among us who have still to study the Koran to know what is said about all this in the world of Islam.</p>
<p>The truth is plain to see. The karma mechanics are not really trained mechanics in every sense of the word. They are, like many of us, lost in a contradictory world that defies definition.</p>
<p>So to confuse you further, dear readers, here is a quote from the net –</p>
<p>“Buddhism relates Karma directly to motives behind an action. Motivation usually makes the difference between “good” and “bad”, but included in the motivation is also the aspect of ignorance; so a well-intended action from a deluded mind can easily be “bad” in the sense that it creates unpleasant results for the “actor”.”</p>
<p>Next time you need a tune up of your aura or re-alignment of your wheels of fortune walk into the friendly neighbourhood karma mechanic’s workshop but ensure that the money back guarantee is in cashable in this lifetime.</p>
<p>Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om</p>

<description><![CDATA[The 2009 Saturn Vue 2-mode Hybrid, is designed for customers who want outstanding fuel savings and f]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The 2009 <a href="http://www.saturn.com">Saturn</a> Vue 2-mode Hybrid, is designed for customers who want outstanding fuel savings and full power and towing capacity of an SUV. Production of the 2009 2-mode hybrid will begin later this year and will be at dealerships by early 2009. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">“The Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid defies the notion that a compact SUV can’t be both powerful and efficient,” said Jill Lajdzlak, Saturn general manager. “Not only will Saturn deliver the world’s most fuel efficient V6 SUV, but Saturn is the only brand to offer two different hybrid options on the same model.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The direct injection engine uses regular unleaded fuel and represents one of the most sophisticated applications of its kind on a hybrid SUV. Direct injection delivers fuel directly to the combustion chambers and permits a higher compression ratio, improving fuel efficiency. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Unlike its competitors, with single mode hybrid technology, the two mode system maximizes city and highway fuel economy. The first mode, which is used at lower speeds, operated on all electric power, internal combustion engine power, or a combination of the two. The second mode is used to optimize fuel economy at highway speeds. It provides electric assist in addition to the 6 cylinder engine power.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">No engine speed changes are necessary for the mode shift to occur. The result is exceptionally smooth, seamless acceleration and responsiveness. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The 2009 model will still feature the same European-inspired exterior design as the non-hybrid Vue. The exterior differences include “2mode” and “hybrid” badging, lightweight aluminum alloy wheels, a lower ride height, and low rolling-resistance tires that enhance economy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The instrument panel lets drivers know that they are behind the wheel of a sophisticated hybrid, yet has gauges that are easy to understand. An efficiency gauge replaces the tachometer, informing drivers when they are achieving maximum fuel economy, and because of the silent start as the key is turned, a telltale indicated the vehicle is on and ready to drive. In addition the new Vue has a number of standard safety features including four-wheel anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, rollover detection system, electronic trailer sway control, pedestrian impact protection, tire pressure monitoring system, pedal release system, and six air bags. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The Vue 2 Mode Hybrid in the third hybrid to join the 2009 lineup. Other members include the four-cylinder <a href="http://www.saturn.com/saturn/vehicles/greenline/index.jsp">Vue Hybrid </a>and the <a href="http://www.saturn.com/saturn/vehicles/greenline/index.jsp">Aura Hybrid </a>sedan. </span></p>

Not only because its craftsmanship is just right, delicate yet eloquent but lately I feel like a princess of the skies , well and have been called a princess too lately by people I don't even know :), I suppose that means I am learning to be a better human being and projecting my aura better too. There is a magical place where I am in my life right now."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aura Photo</p>
<p>Last week we went to Fu Lu Shao shopping center, some sort of mecca in Singapore for people interested in buying objects related to spirituality and religious practice - you can find all kinds of magical stones, crystals, zhi beads, statues, and so on there. In one of the shops you can do the Aura Imaging, which we were interested in. See more information about the method (based on Kirlian effect photography) at <a href="http://www.auraphoto.com/">http://www.auraphoto.com/</a>. Our friend Sabine told us that she did Aura photography in USA and we decided to test it on ourselves and Marie. It costs only 5 SGD and total procedure takes only few minutes. The girl from the shop has even spent with us few minutes explaining the colors in individual aura from her perspective, though being a Chinese, she mostly talked about how the colors indicate your ability to make money :))</p>
<p>Below you will find scanned images and interpretation by software program that we got. Overall impression - it really describes the core of us and confirms our internal views of ourselves and each others. We are actually thrilled that it is so accurate, though of course the wording does leave a room for interpretation. But the essence is true. Enjoy reading !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://creativityinlife.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/auradrawing.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="236" />Some summers ago when I was in college (seems like ages to me already! :o<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Image:icon_surprised.gif"><span style="text-decoration:none;color:blue;"><!--[if gte vml 1]&#62;                    &#60;![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--></span></a> ) I got the chance to get my aura captured. It so happened that my family planned to pay a visit to one of the relatives <span> </span>who was into healing therapies such as <em>reiki </em>and <em>aura cleansing</em>. To get my aura photographed I had to go to my relative’s friend’s place. This person had a special camera which captures the aura.</p>
<p>Before you jump to google about aura, (in case you don’t know) let me make this post a little more understandable for you. ;)</p>
<p>In simple words, aura can be described as the energy fields that surround the human body. So, you, me aur hum all have an aura which is specific to ourselves. The colour of the aura varies from person to person depending upon personality, behaviour, nature etc. Aura appears like a coloured halo. But, don’t confuse it by visualizing the circle of light which we can see in n no. of pictures of saints and gods. :mrgreen:<!--more--></p>
<p>The way of taking aura photograph is quite different from the way we normally take snaps! (Say Cheese and click click click! :) ). The special camera was kept in a wooden box.<span> </span>It had a transparent glass flat plate. I was asked to press my thumb against this glass plate. I felt like some illiterate ramu kaka who was required to give his thumb impression for pension withdrawal. Well, it just took a few minutes or rather seconds, I am not able to recall (this old age! Hah!).</p>
<p>In a few hours, I had my aura photograph in my hand. It looked very much similar to the normal photographs developed on the kodak paper. Except that the photograph hardly made any sense to me. :( But, I was far too excited to care for it. :P</p>
<p>It was a circular halo with white center surrounded by bright pink and blue colours with flashes of red. By the way, this aura photographing is called Kirlian photography. I would try to post the photograph on my blog in case I am able to locate it. I am not sure of it (this old age once again!). For the time being, you can satisfy yourself by attempting <a href="http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_color_is_your_aura_2" target="_blank">this</a> aura quiz.</p>
<p>I later got to know how the aura photograph is used to study human body and cure ailments. But that could be a subject for a new post since it’s quite vast and would touch upon many other areas like chakras, body healing, aura cleansing etc. I would wait for the readers to show me some inquisitivness if they want to know more about this subject. In that case, I would love to write a follow on post. (Click <a href="http://creativityinlife.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/121/" target="_blank">here</a> to read the follow on post.)</p>
<p>Cheers! :P</p>
<p>P.S. Do share your aura colour after attempting the quiz. BTW I am <strong>violet</strong>: "You are the most sensitive and wisest of the colors, artistic, magical, and spiritual. You believe in the goodness of the world. Violets have great imagination and often become the artists, designers, architects, and writers of the world." Quite an accurate result I must say!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all the skeptics out there on whether psychic vampyrism is or is not a reality, I found a <a href="http://www.llewellynjournal.com/article/513" target="_blank">very interesting article</a> today about scientific studies done on those who practice psychic vampyrism.  Subjects varied from college students to couples in long-term and on-going relationships.</p>
<p>The results were rather interesting, whether you're a skeptic or not.</p>
<p>For those who don't know, everyone has an energy field called an "aura" that changes based on mood, mental state, current feelings or emotions, among many other things, and the aura can actually be photographed by a special kind of camera that can capture an image of the energy field.</p>
<p>Well, subjects were photographed before, during and after this "psychic vampire interaction" and--well, take a look for yourself.</p>
<p>First, the psychic vampyre's aura before, during and after feeding.  Before feeding it is weak and dim, during, small "tentacles" emerge from the aura to draw the energy from their donor's aura, and after, the aura is energized, bright, and wide.</p>
<p><a><img class="aligncenter" style="border:3px solid black;" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/falseawakening/vamp_aura.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="133" /></a></p>
<p>Now, the donor's aura.  It begins bright, wide, and dense, and after being fed from it looks much like the vampyre's initial aura, weak and dim.  Actually, if you look closely you can see what the article calls "puncture wounds" in the aura from where those tentacles from the vampyre aura reached in to draw energy.</p>
<p><a><img class="aligncenter" style="border:3px solid black;" src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/falseawakening/victim_aura.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="142" /></a></p>
<p>Pretty interesting, huh?  Now, it's not as parasitic as it looks, and there are many alternatives to outright draining your donor, including "energy exchange" which I may describe in detail later.  Basically, instead of plain taking energy from a donor like in these pictures, you exchange it, giving yours and taking theirs, and in effect "refreshing" your energy as well as theirs.</p>
<p>On a final note: I'm impressed that scientists are taking the time to actually research this.  Thanks scientists.</p>
