  • The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky

    In the Scandinavian Eddas the “War” of the Ases with the Hrim-thurses (frost-giants), and of Asathor with the Jotuns, the Serpents and Dragons and the “wolf” who comes out of “Darkness” — is the repetition of the same myth. The “evil Spirits,”* having begun by being simply the emblems of Chaos, became euhemerized by the superstition of the rabble, until they have finally won the right of citizenship in the most civilized and learned races of this globe — since its creation as alleged — and became a dogma with Christians. As George Smith has it: “The evil principles (Spirits) emblems of Chaos” (in Chaldea and Assyria as in Egypt, we see) . . “resist this change and make war on the Moon, the eldest son of Bel, drawing over to their side the Sun, Venus and the atmospheric god Vul.” (“Assyrian Discoveries,” p. 403.) This is only another version of the Hindu “War in Heaven,” between Soma, the moon, and the gods — Indra being the atmospheric Vul; which shows it plainly to be both a Cosmogonical and an astronomical allegory, woven into and drawn from the earliest theogony as taught in the Mysteries.
    Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” -Confucius.

    • from: The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky, vol 2 pt 1, stanza 12 b

      Speaking of Adam, Kain, Mars, etc., as personifications (another way of saying Fractal ), we find the author of “The Source of Measures” enunciating our very esoteric teachings in his Kabalistic researches. Thus he says: —
      “Now Mars was the lord of birth and of death, of generation and of destruction, of ploughing, of building, of sculpture or stone-cutting, of Architecture . . . . in fine, of all . . . . arts. He was the primeval principle, disintegrating into the modification of two opposites for production. Astronomically, too,* he held the birthplace of the day and year, the place of its increase of strength, Aries, and likewise the place of its death, Scorpio. He held the house of Venus, and that of the Scorpion. He, as birth, was good; as death, was Evil. As good, he was light; as bad, he was night. As good, he was man; as bad, he was woman. He held the cardinal points, and as Cain, or Vulcan,† or Pater Sadic, or Melchizadek, he was lord of the Ecliptic,balance, or line of adjustment, and therefore was the just one. The ancients held to there being seven planets, or great gods, growing out of eight, and Pater Sadik, the Just or Right One, was lord of the eighth, which was Mater Terra. (“Source of Measures,” p. 186-70.) or




      Just realized an interesting version of the Principle of polarity:

      If you study closely the French Language and compare it to the English Language...French could be interpreted as the Female Pole .....English Language as The Male Pole

      compare the number of synonyms available for certain words in English and in French....you will undoubtedly find more words that correspond to the same definition in French

      ask a woman to give you the name of all the colors she knows and do the same for a man.......

      ps: Mars is also the Name of the month of March in French

      • she to you

        Foreigner - Urgent with lyrics - YouTube

        You're not shy
        you get around

        You wanna fly
        don't want your feet on the ground.
        You stay up
        you don't come down

        You wanna live
        you wanna move to the sound.
        Got fire in your veins

        Burnin' hot but you don't feel the pain

        Your desire is insane

        You can't stop until you do it again.
        Sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes

        Maybe you're thinking of some other guy;
        But I know
        yes
        I know how to treat you right -
        That's why you call me in the middle of the night.

        You say it's urgent - so urgent

        U-u-u-urgent - just you wait and see
        How urgent our love can be - it's urgent!


        You play tricks on my mind

        You're everywhere but you're so hard to find

        You're not warm or sentimental
        [ From: URGENT Lyrics - FOREIGNER ]

        You're so extreme
        you can be so temperamental.
        But I'm not looking for a love that will last

        I know what I need and I need it fast.
        Yeah
        there's one thing in common that we both share

        That's a need for each other anytime
        anywhere.

        It gets so urgent - so urgent
        you know it's urgent -
        I wanna tell you it's the same to me - so-o-o-o urgent!
        Just you wait and see how urgent our love can be -
        It's urgent!

        You say it's urgent - make it fast
        make it urgent

        Do it quick
        do it urgent - gotta rush
        make it urgent

        Want it quick
        make it urgent - urgent emergency

        Urgent
        urgent emergency

        Urgent
        urgent
        urgent
        urgent emergency
        ...

          • Enjoy a skywatching triple play this week - Technology & science - Space - Space.com - msnbc.com

            Anyone out under the stars in the early evening lately likely cannot help but notice two brilliant objects dominating the western sky: the planets Venus and Jupiter.

            Venus, because it is closer to the sun than Earth, never strays far from the sun in our sky. Jupiter, being outside the Earth's orbit, can appear anywhere along the ecliptic — the path of the sun, moon, and planets across the sky. Venus and Jupiter are gradually growing closer, and will pass each other on March 13.

            The moon, meanwhile, is making its monthly trip around the Earth and will pass these two planets on Saturday and Sunday this week (Feb. 25 and 26). The moon appears close to Venus on Saturday night, and then near Jupiter on Sunday night. The view on either night will be what astronomers call a triple conjunction.

            The sky map of Venus, Jupiter and the moon for this story shows how they will appear during the celestial triple play.

            A Kind Of Magic lyrics

            It's a kind of magic,
            It's a kind of magic,
            A kind of magic,
            One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal.
            One golden glance of what should be
            .(It's a kind of
            magic)
            One flash of light that shows the way,
            No mortal man can win this day. (It's a kind of magic)
            The bell that rings inside your mind,
            It's challenging the doors of time. (It's a kind of
            magic)

            The waiting seems eternity, yeah,
            The day will dawn of sanity.
            Is this a kind of magic?
            There can be only one.
            This race that lasts a thousand years, will soon be
            done.

            This flame that burns inside of me,
            I'm hearing secret harmonies. (It's a kind of magic)

            The bell that rings inside your mind,
            Is challenging the doors of time.
            It's a kind of magic.
            It's a kind of magic.
            This race that lasts a thousand years, will soon be,
            will soon be, will soon be done.

            This race that lasts a thousand years,
            Will soon be done.
            Magic - it's a kind of magic,
            It's a kind of magic,
            Magic, magic, magic, magic,
            It's magic,
            It's a kind of magic.
            It's a kind of magic.

            Nomad Alien Planets May Fill Our Milky Way Galaxy | Search for Life & Habitable Exoplanets | Solar Systems & Extraterrestrial Life | Space.com

            Our Milky Way galaxy may be teeming with rogue planets that ramble through space instead of being locked in orbit around a star, a new study suggests.

            These "nomad planets" could be surprisingly common in our bustling galaxy, according to researchers at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC), a joint institute of Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The study predicts that there may be 100,000 times more of these wandering, homeless planets than stars in the Milky Way.

              Blaze Of Glory lyrics
              Songwriters: Bon Jovi, Jon;

              I wake up in the mornin'
              And I raise my weary head
              I got an old coat for a pillow
              And the earth was last night's bed
              I don't know where I'm goin'
              Only God knows where I've been
              I'm a devil on the run
              A six gun lover
              A candle in the wind, yeah

              But they say you're born in sin
              Well at least they've given me something
              I didn't have to steal or have to win
              Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
              Yeah I'm a wanted man
              I'm colt in your stable

              Call me young gun

              You ask about my conscience
              And I offer you my soul
              You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
              Well I ask if I'll grow old
              You ask me if I known love
              And what it's like to sing songs in the rain?
              Well, I've seen love come
              I've seen it shot down
              I've seen it die in vain


              Shot down in a blaze of glory
              (Down)
              Take me now but know the truth
              But I'm going down in a blaze of glory
              (Down)
              Lord, I never drew first
              But I drew first blood
              I'm a devil's son
              Call me young gun
              Yeah

              Each night I go to bed
              I pray the Lord my soul to keep
              No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
              But before I'm six foot deep
              Lord, I got to ask a favor
              And I'll hope you'll understand
              'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
              Let this boy die like a man
              Starin' down the bullet
              Let me make my final stand


              Shot down in a blaze of glory
              (Down)
              Take me now but know the truth
              I'm going down in a blaze of glory
              (Down)
              Lord, I never drew first
              But, I drew first blood
              I'm no one's son
              Call me young gun


              I'm the young gun
              Young gun, yea eee yea

              • I highly recommend you read the Three Norse Poem

                Völuspá

                Völuspá (Old Norse Vǫluspá, Prophecy of the Völva (Seeress); Modern Icelandic [ˈvœːlʏˌspauː], reconstructed Old Norse [ˈwɔluˌspɑː]) is the first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end related by a völva addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology.

                The poem is preserved whole in the Codex Regius and Hauksbók manuscripts while parts of it are quoted in the Prose Edda. It consists of approximately 60 fornyrðislag stanzas.
                Hávamál

                Hávamál - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                Hávamál (English /ˈhaʊvəmaʊl/ how-və-mowl; English: Sayings of the high one) is presented as a single poem in the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems from the Viking age. The poem, itself a combination of different poems, is largely gnomic, presenting advice for living, proper conduct and wisdom.

                The verses are attributed to Odin, much like the biblical Book of Wisdom is attributed to Solomon. The implicit attribution to Odin facilitated the accretion of various mythological material also dealing with Odin.[1]

                For the most part composed in the metre Ljóðaháttr, a metre associated with wisdom verse, Hávamál is both practical and metaphysical in content. Following the gnomic "Hávamál proper" follows the Rúnatal, an account of how Odin won the runes, and the Ljóðatal, a list of magic chants or spells
                Vafþrúðnismál

                Vafþrúðnismál - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                In Norse mythology, Vafþrúðnismál (Vafþrúðnir's sayings) is the third poem in the Poetic Edda. It is a conversation in verse form conducted initially between the Æsir Odin and Frigg, and subsequently between Odin and the giant Vafþrúðnir. The poem goes into detail about the Norse cosmogony and was evidently used extensively as a source document by Snorri Sturluson in the construction of the Prose Edda who quotes it. The poem is preserved in Codex Regius and partially in AM 748 I 4to. There are preservation problems relating to stanzas 40-41.
                The English Version:

                The Poetic Edda Index

                The Latin Version:

                hint: Hermes was the creator of the Harp

                .Othin spake: "Next answer me well, | if thy wisdom avails,
                And thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:
                Whence came the moon, | o'er the world of men
                That fares, and the flaming sun?"

                • this was probably one of the most intriguing scifi book, read a while ago:

                  American Gods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                  American Gods is a Hugo and Nebula Award-winning[1] novel by Neil Gaiman. The novel is a blend of Americana, fantasy, and various strands of ancient and modern mythology, all centering on a mysterious and taciturn protagonist, Shadow. It is Gaiman's fourth prose novel, being preceded by Good Omens (a collaboration with Terry Pratchett), Neverwhere, and Stardust. Several of the themes touched upon in the book were previously glimpsed in The Sandman graphic novels.
                  The central premise of the novel is that gods and mythological creatures exist because people believe in them. Immigrants to the United States brought with them dwarves, elves, leprechauns, and other spirits and gods. However, the power of these mythological beings has diminished as people's beliefs wane. New gods have arisen, reflecting America's obsessions with media, celebrity, technology, and drugs, among others.


                  on of the places mentioned in the Book are the Georgia Mountains

                  • Was just thinking about the word Sidonia as in

                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars)




                    Cydonia is a region on the planet Mars, and has attracted both scientific[1] and popular interest.[2][3] The name originally referred to the albedo feature (distinctively coloured area) that was visible from Earthbound telescopes. The area borders plains of Acidalia Planitia and the Arabia Terra highlands.[4]

                    The area includes the Mars regions: "Cydonia Mensae", an area of flat-topped mesa-like features, "Cydonia Colles", a region of small hills or knobs, and "Cydonia Labyrinthus", a complex of intersecting valleys.[5][6] As with other albedo features on Mars, the name Cydonia was drawn from classical antiquity, in this case from Kydonia, a historic polis (or "city-state") on the island of Crete.[7]

                    Cydonia contains the "face on Mars" feature — located about half-way between Arandas Crater and Bamberg Crater[4] The ESA "skull" formation is a few kilometres south of the "face".[4]

                    Medina-Sidonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                    Medina-Sidonia is a city and municipality in the province of Cádiz in the autonomous community of Andalusia, southern Spain. It is considered by some to be the oldest city in Europe, used as a military defense location due to its elevated location. Locals are known as Asidonenses. The city's name comes from Medina (Arabic for city) and Sidonia (of Sidon), meaning "City of Sidon".

                    Medina-Sidonia was one of Spain's most important ducal seats in the 15th century; producing an admiral, Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia, who led the Spanish Armada against England in 1588. The title of Duque de Medina Sidonia was bestowed upon the family of Guzmán El Bueno for his valiant role in taking the town. The line continues and was led until March 2008 by the controversial socialist, Luisa Isabel Álvarez de Toledo, 20th Duchess of Medina Sidonia (born 1936).


                    TURISMO SOSTENIBLE EN LOS ALCORNOCALES

                    Amongst its innumerable monuments, of note are: the Roman Archaeological Complex (Sewers and Road), the Visigoth Hermitage of Los Santos, the Town Hall (XVII c.), the Market Square (XIXc.); its churches and convents, such as the gothic-renaissance style “Iglesia Mayor” (High Church) and the Monastery of San José del Cuervo; the Walls and Doors of the Muslim town; the ruins of the Castle and Old Town; and the Torrestrella Castle, amongst many others dispersed throughout its vast district.

                    Considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, Medina Sidonia is also a paradise of tranquility, where you can escape from the world and come into complete contact with nature, between both the Cádiz countryside and the Alcornocales Natural Park.
                    Puerta del Sol (Door of the Sun)

                    It is one of the oldest doors in the town. Its name is due to the fact that it faces the same direction as the rays of sunshine at dawn. It is located behind that which, in its time, was the Ducal Palace of the Medina Sidonia.
                    Castle of Torrestrella

                    Ruins of an Arabic castle, it was called Medina Sidonia up to the creation of the Santa María Military Order of Spain. At this point it was donated to the latter with the name of Estrella (Star) (aka Astarte / Ishtar ).
                    Astarte was connected with fertility, sexuality, and war. Her symbols were the lion, the horse, the sphinx, the dove, and a star within a circle indicating the planet Venus. .

                    Church of Santa María la Mayor (Church of Santa Maria Superior)

                    Church of Santa Maria Superior, the Crowned, belongs to the gothic-renaissance period of the XVI century. Most noteworthy are its altarpiece, from the Baroque, and the engraving of the Christ of Forgiveness by Pedro Roldán.
                    It was declared a Historical Artistic Monument in June of 1931.
                    Carmelite Monastery of San José del Cuervo

                    It is a building of great dimensions, located right in the Alcornocales Natural Park, in Sierra Blanquilla, and it is surrounded by cliffs and cork oak groves, which lends it great beauty.

                    • The Anglo Saxons were in Morocco and Spain too ... The Vandal Empire

                      a re post

                      the following is going to be fun ...........found this book :

                      Full text of "Mysterious Morocco, and how to appreciate it"

                      the following is applicable to many themes of our Discussion:

                      Introductory Remarks.

                      ALTHOUGH this brief epitome of Moorish
                      history runs to 40 pages, the space occupied
                      is not excessive. It is true of most
                      countries that you cannot understand to-day unless
                      you know something of yesterday,
                      and this truth
                      applies with special force to Morocco, which
                      without some knowledge of its history would
                      be a hopeless enigma
                      .


                      The anecdotes inserted are intended not only
                      to lighten the narrative, but to illustrate present
                      Moorish life. The incidents in the flight of Idris I.,
                      the building of Fez, &c., might mutatis mutandis
                      happen to-day. The stories of Kahena and of
                      Zeinab will show that women's life in the East is
                      not the mere harem existence it is supposed to
                      be
                      .


                      Historical Sketch.

                      CHAPTER I.
                      Early Days.

                      Legends. Ancient legends tell of Antaeus, the mighty

                      Giant son of Atlas, King of Mauretania
                      . The
                      monster killed all whom he could catch, to add
                      their skulls to a mound which he was raising in
                      honour of Neptune (which is none other than Poseidon God of Atlantis. Hercules destroyed him, and
                      the rocks which guard the Straits of Gibraltar are
                      known to this day as the " Pillars of Hercules."
                      The Berbers claim for themselves descent from Goliath of Gath,
                      the Amalekite giant
                      who fell before the pebble of David, the shepherd
                      boy of Israel.
                      In 424 A.D. we find Bonifacius, the Roman
                      Count (Comes) of Africa, inviting Genseric the
                      Goth to Morocco. These kinsmen of our own
                      Anglo-Saxons accepted the invitation to such
                      purpose as to form a Vandal Empire
                      which lasted
                      for about 80 years. Some ethnologists claim still to
                      recognise traces of the blood of the fair-haired blue-
                      eyed Goths amongst the mixed races of Morocco
                      .

                      A Christian Hermit. Idris II. founds Fez.

                      On a fair hillside clothed in verdure and forest a
                      young Moorish noble is busying himself and a
                      few followers. It is February, in the year of
                      our Lord 808, and the country shows the tender
                      green due to the influence of spring. An old
                      hermit whose crucifix betokens his creed, and
                      whose solitude has been disturbed by the bustle,
                      asks him what he is doing. " Building a City
                      "
                      is the curious reply. The answer seems to
                      awaken th£ old man from the lethargy of age
                      and, " If this be so, O Emir, I have good tidings
                      for thee," quoth he. He then narrates how his
                      predecessor at the hermitage told him that a
                      city named "Sef" had been located there 1,700
                      years ago. The *' Book of Knowledge " of this
                      predecessor had also stated that "one day a son of
                      " the Prophets should come and rebuild, his name
                      " shall be Idris, and his achievements great : he
                      " shall plant Islam here, and it shall endure for
                      "ever." "Praised be God," said Idris, and starts
                      digging the foundations of Fez.

                      here is an interesting Family:

                      The Glories of Empire.

                      Origin of Again the change of dynasty had its origin in
                      Almohade a religious *' Revival." A desert Berber tribe
                      Power, inflamed with reforming zeal, rushed upon the
                      settled kingdom and subjugated it. Mohammed,
                      son of Tumart, the originator of the movement,
                      was a man of mark. He was originally a poor
                      student who visited the East and acquired a

                      reputation for sanctity.* As a mystic reverenced
                      under the title of " Mehdi " {the directed of God) he
                      found refuge in the Atlas Mountains not far
                      from Marrakesh, and passed on his mission to
                      Abd-el-Mumin, who took the Southern capital by
                      force of arms in 1 147-8 a.d. Abd-el-Mumin is the
                      favourite hero of Moorish history
                      . He was a
                      great horseman, his skin was white and cheeks
                      ruddy, his eyes dark and his beard thick. He
                      was learned in " the Law and the Prophets " and
                      a devoted lover of poetry. But, above all, he
                      was a great administrator, and passed on an
                      organized Empire to his descendants.!

                      It was in his time that Sicily was ruled by Norman
                      Counts, and the tivo Rogers, father and son, were men
                      of great ability. They took Algeria, Tunis and Tripoli,
                      and would have carried their conquests furthey\ (says
                      the Arab historian) but for a quarrel which resulted in
                      war with the Byzantine Emperor, whom they defeated
                      and bearded in Constantinople.

                      * He was not particular as to the means. When he was beaten, he
                      got some friends to allow themselves to be buried alive with breathing
                      boles arranged. At night be took his followers to the battlefield and
                      addressed questions to the faithful dead. He was answered by his
                      confederates who told of the glories of Paradise. When the dupes had
                      gone, he buried his friends in real earnest. " Dead men tell no tales."

                      t One of the towns re-established by Abd el Mumin was Mequinez
                      (iijo A.D.), and the water supply of Sallee was laid on by him. He also
                      built the castle at Gibraltar (1161 (HM 9 ) a.d.).

                      J After the death of the second Roger, his son Gregory lost Algeria
                      and Tunis to Abd el Mumin, who thus extended his Empire till it
                      included Spain and the whole cf North Africa.


                      Abd-el-Mumin's son, Abou Yakoub Yussef, who
                      succeeded him (1163) was a great student,* and
                      administrator, who would be better known to
                      history, but for his eclipse by his more famous
                      brother '• El Mansur."

                      The greatest of this family was Abou Yussef
                      Yacoub,
                      who is usually known emphatically as
                      " El Mansur " the Victorious (sometimes written
                      Almansor). He beat three Christian Kings
                      combined (Kings of Castille, Leon, and Aragon)
                      on the field of Alarcos (1195 a.d.).
                      the following made my heart skip a bit

                      * Averroes / Avicenna, one of the most famous Muslim philosophers (his proper
                      name is Abu-'l-Welid-ibn-Roshd), was at one time imprisoned by him
                      because he wrote " Venus then is one of the Divinities "—a gloss on a
                      classical author. He was liberated afterwards on being better under-
                      stood and accompanied the succeeding monarch, El Mansur, as a
                      closa friend int« Morocco, where he died.

                      • Khalil Gibran and the Art of Giving:


                        You say, “I give, but only to those who deserve it.” “Trees do not say that, nor do the flocks. They give so they can continue living; to retain is to die. He who is worthy to win God’s day and night is also worthy of getting everything he needs. He who deserves to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his bowl from the little stream..
                        Why demand that a man expose his heart and reveal his pride, so that you can decide whether he deserves help? Seek, rather, see if you deserve to. And you, who receives these things, do not assume any debt of gratitude, lest they create a loop domain with their benefactors. If we become too concerned with these debts, we will end up doubting the end of the generosity of the earth..

                        'Marsquake' May Have Shaken Up Red Planet | Mars History & Evolution | Mars Volcanism & Water on Mars | Space.com Date: 21 February 2012

                        The surface of Mars appears to have been shaken by quakes relatively recently, hinting at the existence of active volcanoes and perhaps reservoirs of liquid water on the Red Planet, a new study suggests.

                        Using photographs snapped by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers analyzed the tracks made by boulders that fell from a Martian cliff. The number and size of these boulders — which ranged from 6.5 to 65 feet (2 to 20 meters) in diameter — decreased over a radius of 62 miles (100 kilometers) from a point along Mars' Cerberus Fossae faults.

                          Thank you Llynch , it is always a pleasure reading you...and the manner by which you help clarify this Process makes Crystal Clear to grasp for anyone willing to venture into self understanding

                          Nature being our rule of thumb. There is always a progression from one state to another. The same is true with Knowledge, Awareness and Conciousness.

                          A Change in Knowledge automatically effects a Change in Awareness, which in turn automatically effects a Change in Conciousness.
                          Hence the Name tree of Knowledge

                          Traditional Method = Repetition of Knowledge regardless of Absorption Ability.
                          Natural Method = Gradual Increase of Quantity of Knowledge that Matches Absorption Ability.
                          both are useful as you wrote....the Traditional Method allows to start on your path (learn the basics as in guitar learning )...the Natural Method completes it as it uses the Traditional Method (the musical notes learned ) to create your symphony of knowledge

                          A major benefit of 'Learning' via the process given to us by nature is that it is 'Self' governing and almost completely automatic. This is because it is driven by one component we all have. Curiosity.

                          Curiosity is what creates Desire/Interest. By embracing it and allowing it to guide us, a person will be able to learn/obtain knowledge at a much faster pace, with much more depth and breadth with the additional benefit of quicker returned gratification, increased satisfaction and increased confidence. These are just a few of the benefits of allowing Curiosity to guide the learning process. A full list of examples would touch on every aspect of being human and the human experience.

                          Some Tips regarding the Natural Process of Learning:

                          Begin study at a point of 'Personal Interest'.
                          Follow your curiosity even if it departs from the intial point of study.
                          Never doubt the value of what is learned along the way. All knowledge is valuable.
                          Share, and never allow shame or negative perceptions to de-value gained knowledge.
                          A change of Perspective often rewards one with unique knowledge.
                          Try to notice the pattern/s of the learning path/s you have traveled.
                          Try to remove the concept of anything being the 'Final Word'.
                          Keep an eye open for relationships that exist with knowledge gained previously.
                          Be aware of how knowledge deepens appreciation of all that you perceive.
                          Realize the purity of curiosity.
                          Be aware that Curiosity is present throughout your life.

                          • I encourage anyone to read Llynch Paper...It does a great job at presenting to you the Potential within:

                            Each piece/bit of knowledge gained is a 'Point of Knowledge', Neuron.
                            Over time the number of Neurons increases.
                            Over time the 'Complexity' of the inter-connections between the Neurons increases.

                            Just those 3 things via a Natural Process of learning, will create the following benefits/value that a Traditional method can not match or can not do at all:

                            Much fast pace of Neuron creation.
                            Much higher number of Neurons created.
                            Much higher density and number of inter-connections between Neurons.


                            In turn provides the following as few examples:

                            Ever increasing number of correaltions.
                            Ever increasing creative capacity.
                            Ever increasing speed of evaluation.
                            Ever increasing speed of decision making.
                            Ever increasing points of reference to base decisions on.
                            Ever increasing accuracy in application of 'Intuition'.


                            It may be clear now, that this is where concept of 'Mysticism' originates from. The results of increasing a persons knowledge through a natural process, produces results/benefits that can not easily be described without the use of many adjectives. It truly does inspire poetic expression.
                            as you explain the process of how Neurons work, thought the following could be helpful

                              If you breathe you talk.
                              If you talk you ask.
                              If you ask you think.
                              If you think you search.
                              If you search you experience.
                              If you experience you learn.
                              If you learn you grow.
                              If you grow you wish.
                              If you wish you find.
                              And if you find you doubt.
                              If you doubt you question.
                              If you question you understand
                              and if you understand you know.
                              If you know you want to know more.

                              The world as I see it, is a remarkable place
                              A beautiful house in a forest, of stars in outer space.
                              From a birds eye view, I can see it has a well-rounded personality
                              From a birds eye view, I can see we are family
                              .

                              It's not hard for me to love you
                              Hard for me to love you
                              No it's not a difficult thing.
                              It's not hard for me to love you
                              Hard for me to love you
                              Because you are the world to me.

                              Yeah the world as I see it, is a remarkable place
                              Every man makes a difference
                              And every mothers child is a saint
                              From a birds eye view I can see, we are spiralling down in gravity
                              From a birds eye view I can see, you are just like me.

                              It's not hard for me to love you
                              Hard for me to love you

                              You are the cord and you're the spark
                              You are the eagle, you are the lark
                              You are the world and you're remarkable


                              You're the ocean eating the shore
                              You are the calm inside the storm
                              You're every emotion, you can endure
                              You are the world, the world is yours.

                                She to you

                                when i look into your eyes
                                it's like watching the night sky
                                or a beautiful sunrise
                                well there's so much they hold
                                and just like them old stars
                                i see that you've come so far
                                to be right where you are
                                how old is your soul?



                                i won't give up on us
                                even if the skies get rough
                                i'm giving you all my love
                                i'm still looking up



                                and when you're needing your space
                                to do some navigating
                                i'll be here patiently waiting
                                to see what you find


                                'cause even the stars they burn
                                some even fall to the earth
                                we've got a lot to learn
                                god knows we're worth it
                                no, i won't give up


                                i don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
                                i'm here to stay and make the difference that i can make
                                our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
                                we got yeah we got a lot at stake

                                and in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
                                for us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
                                we had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
                                i had to learn what i got, and what i'm not
                                and who i am



                                i won't give up on us
                                even if the skies get rough
                                i'm giving you all my love
                                i'm still looking up
                                i'm still looking up



                                i won't give up on us
                                god knows i'm tough, he knows
                                we got a lot to learn
                                god knows we're worth it


                                i won't give up on us

                                Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin Lyrics - YouTube

                                There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
                                And she's buying a stairway to heaven
                                When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
                                With a word she can get what she came for
                                Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

                                There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
                                'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
                                In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
                                Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
                                Ooh, it makes me wonder
                                Ooh, it makes me wonder

                                There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
                                And my spirit is crying for leaving
                                In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
                                And the voices of those who stand looking
                                Ooh, it makes me wonder
                                Ooh, it really makes me wonder


                                And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
                                Then the piper will lead us to reason
                                And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
                                And the forests will echo with laughter

                                If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
                                It's just a spring clean for the May queen
                                Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
                                There's still time to change the road you're on

                                And it makes me wonder

                                Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
                                The piper's calling you to join him
                                Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow and did you know
                                Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?


                                And as we wind on down the road
                                Our shadows taller than our soul
                                There walks a lady we all know
                                Who shines white light and wants to show
                                How everything still turns to gold

                                And if you listen very hard
                                The tune will come to you at last
                                When all are one and one is all, yeah
                                To be a rock and not to roll

                                And she's buying a stairway to heaven
                                Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” -Confucius.
