Priyal woke up to a bright day. The incessant monsoon rains had been steadily pouring overnight and the morning was clear and crisp. He looked out as always through the bedroom window to scan over the two thousand acres of tea plantation that grew just a hundred feet away from his house and swept over the hills and dales like a well-manicured lawn that disappeared into the blue horizon. This sight never failed to instill a sense of awe at nature’s beauty and bounty.

On the distant hill-scape he could see the tea pluckers with their baskets draped behind them going about their daily chores of picking the teas from the designated areas. These tea pluckers, mostly women, were some of the most efficient human machines as they filled their baskets up with the bud and two leaves using just their fingers as they nimbly and effortlessly moved their hands over the tea bushes like a maestro playing upon a vast green grand piano!

Priyal felt a sense of pride and achievement as he was the Chief Superintendent of the estate and responsible for all operations from the plucking to the final processing and shipment of the tea leaves from the factory. He had been trained and mentored to do this since he finished high school from the age of nineteen.

He stretched out lazily and drew the curtains further which brought to sight the beautiful and splendid stone and brick bungalow with its tall stone fireplace chimneys perched atop a hill about 300 feet above his house which was the highest point in the estate. This bungalow stood out like an apparition from another time and era and aptly named ” Eagles Nest”. Leading up to this bungalow were neatly trimmed and beautifully landscaped tropical gardens that glistened in the morning dew and beckoned everyone to visit its charming ambiance.

The British planters who built this bungalow in the late 19th. century had always reserved this place for the Chief Superintendent of the estate and had furnished it and fitted it out with fine pieces of interior decor brought in from far corners of the colonial British Empire. From the granite paved porch to the terracotta verandah leading to the fine polished hardwood flooring in the great room, this work of architecture with its panoramic views of the distant hills and rolling valleys below was absolute serendipity!

A familiar wave of mixed emotions and feelings began to sweep over Priyal who believed that this prized bungalow should have been his home as long as he was chief superintendent or the “Peria Dorai” literally translated as the “big boss” as the other estate employees use to call him. Just before Priyal was given a promotion and transferred to this estate, the company management had decided to turn “Eagles Nest ” into a tourist resort of sorts where foreign travelers paid handsome amounts in foreign currency to enjoy the old colonial grandeur and feast their eyes on sights that only nature could deliver. The “travel package’ included a tour of the factory and a day out with the tea pluckers. A rather potent mix of grass roots tea experience and luxury living combo!

As always he quickly swept away these disruptive thoughts as he went into the kitchen to brew himself a fine cup of tea from a special blend that he had personally developed by blending different grades of tea from various stages of production that produced a rich deep liquor with an excellent full bodied flavor. The perfect cup! No sooner the tea leaves began steeping and giving out its rich aroma, Priyal felt a sense of calm and contentment with his ‘karma’ and soon began to look forward to more positive events.

What a great beverage tea is, he thought to himself as he sipped from the deep rich nectar that seemed to fill up his senses, awaken his day and bring the promise of a brighter tomorrow!

Power metal is a style of heavy metal music that combines symphonic elements with traditional and speed metals to create a unique sound. The term “power metal” is often used to describe two different but similar styles: the first being a North American variant with a similar sound to speed metal and the second a more popular style describing a lighter, more melodic music mainly based in Europe. The European variant is what we’ll be examining today.

Originating from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, also referred to as melodic power, melodic, and in some cases even “flower” metal, was in large part pioneered by the likes of Helloween, Blind Guardian and Stratovarius. The music itself is often very fast with emphases on tremolo picking and speedy solos and is almost always very melodic. Keyboards playing orchestrated melody over guitars became a mainstay in power metal as it swept through Europe and picked up influences from classical and folk music along the way.

The vocals of power metal are influenced hevily by the likes of Dio, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson on Iron Maiden, and Eric Adams of Manowar. They tend to almost always be cleanly sung, as opposed to screamed or growled as is prevalent in much of modern metal, operatic, and often in a higher register. It is not uncommon for vocalists to heavily layer their vocals to achieve a choral effect on their records as was pioneered by Blind Guardian’s vocalist and front man Hansi Kürsch.

The lyrical themes of power metal can be as varied as the lyrical themes throughout all of heavy metal as a genre. There does, however, tend to be a greater tendency for these bands to write lyrics, and even portray an image reminiscent of fantasy novels or medieval times. Concept albums are not uncommon for power metal bands and like Rhapsody of Fire’s Legendary Tales saga they are often fantasy based on stories the bands make up. Lyrics in power metal tend to be positive and hopeful as opposed to those in related genres like black or death metal. Although rare, power metal may have lyrics that delve into serious matters like war, religion, hate, politics, and death.

While being influenced by NWOBHM, speed metal, traditional metal and thrash metal, power metal has gone on to spur and influence a genre of its own known as progressive metal, a modern brand of heavy metal that bares resemblance to prog-rock, classical music, and, of course, power and speed metals.

I am a very difficult skin product customer to please. As usual, I was very skeptical when my aunt suggested me this product. But within the first one week, it swept away my complaints.

The Oriflame Even Out face cream comes in a good looking 50 ml pack. The cream has Vitamin C and Licorice extracts which help in the reduction of the spots and blemishes. It is recommended for all skin types. I was worried about this claim because I have an oily/combination skin. But a few applications later, I could rest assured that it would work out just fine.  It has to be ideally applied twice daily, but even an once a day application gives good results. The pack looks small, but it is very durable and goes on for 4-5 months. A small dab is more than enough for the entire face, as it spreads very easily.

As the name suggests, it is applicable for any one who has a skin with black marks or spots and blemishes. This could be due to hormonal changes, sun exposure or in my case chicken pox. The cream definitely lives up to the expectations as within 1-2 weeks of its application, I could see a remarkable decrease in the dark spots on my face. The SPF of 20 is surely as bonus, because I don’t have to apply another dose of a sunscreen over my face. The skin is initially a bit oily, but it’s pretty much manageable with a dash of face powder. The oiliness wears out pretty soon, but the effect does not.

It has been almost 6 months I have been using it, and I intend to use it till Oriflame decides to discontinue the product, which I sincerely wish they don’t. In fact it has always been one of their “best seller” products since its launch.

The product is worth a buy!

Anyone who wears clothes size 12w to 44ww falls into the plus size category.

The properly designed style compliments the face shape. It flatters the individual’s size, the skin tone, and the eye color. The perfect style will emphasize the most beautiful features while minimizing the weak facial features. It will make the strongest features pop and be noticed next after the hair.

A complimentary style can update an entire wardrobe. A new beautiful style may be worn with an old dress and the dress will look brand new. Or, vice versa, an uncomplimentary style will make any dress look bad. The point is, the hair is noticed first and either compliments the woman size or does not compliment .

There are ten steps in choosing a design to compliment the size.

1. Draw an outline of the face shape of the woman on the mirror with an erasable marker

2. Determine the face shape from the actual outline which can be easily seen now

3. Superimpose an oval over the actual face shape

4. Anything outside the oval should be deemphasized

5. Anything inside the oval should be emphasized

6. Determine the number one best feature of the face

7. Determine any feature that needs to be minimized

8. Point the hair to the best feature

9. Sweep the hair away from any features that need to be minimized

10. Color hair to flatter or minimize with highlights or lowlights

Most plus size clients have a round or rectangular shape face.

There are several ways to correct a round face shape with the design.

• Since the cheeks and sides of the face come outside of the superimposed oval, a hair style is chosen to minimize these features.

• For the Client favoring short hair, I will choose a look that is combed forward covering the sides of the face. The new Shag hair cut is one that can be flipped forward and covers this area.

• If the plus size client wishes the hair to be swept away from the face, I will apply a darker color to just the sides of the hair with foils. The dark color will slenderizes. After using the darker color, the new Shag hair style may be worn and flipped away from the face. Caution: Never lighten the hair at the sides of the face on a round face shape because the highlights will emphasize and make it look wider.

• Since the chin is usually outside the oval, it should be deemphasized. Never select a hair style for the round face that points to the chin. Choose a haircut that points either above or below the chin with the weight line at the eyes or above. An example is the Classic Layered cut with a high weight line at the temple.

• The temple and forehead area of the round face is usually inside the oval and should be deemphasized. Select a haircut that is swept back off the temple and sides of the forehead. Highlights in this area give the illusion of the perfect oval by making the temple area wider.

For the rectangular face shape, follow the same suggestion for the round face and add the following advise; Since the lower jaw area is outside the superimposed oval, it should be minimized and corrected. A Long Layered Shag worn very full is a good style to correct this and flatter the full figure. Big hair is always a good choice and will compliment the figure.

In order to correct or minimize the jaw of the rectangular face, select a style that does not point to the lower jaw area. A design in which the hanging length is above or below this area insures that this area will be deemphasized on the plus size woman. An example of this is the Short Bob and the Medium Length Bob which falls between the chin and the shoulder.

The tall full figure looks striking and gorgeous in the long full styles. The short plus figure who wants a look that slenderizes should select the short styles with height on top. A Pixie with the top spiked or curled for fullness is a good choice.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most popular plane that Cessna has ever produced. The first prototype of the 172 was flown in 1955 and production began for the craft in 1956. The normal cruising speed for a fixed-gear 172 ranges from about 105 to 125 knots, depending on the engine and vintage. The Cessna 172 was a new idea by Cessna which they were hoping would be popular with the public. The plane was an overnight success though, with sales reaching 1,400 in its first year, 1956. The official production estimate of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is between 35,000 to 43,000 aircraft.

The basic Cessna 172 Skyhawk remained in production until being replaced by the Cessna 172A in early 1960. The 172A introduced a swept back tail and rudder. However, the Cessna 172B, which arrived in late 1960, introduced a shorter undercarriage and other equipment changes. Then, the Skyhawk name was first introduced for the deluxe version which was produced after the 172B.

The engine used on the type of Cessna 172 which was produced from 1955 to 1967 was the six cylinder Continental O-300. Afterward, this engine was replaced by the four cylinder Lycoming O-320. The equipment and the instruments used were analog, but currently Cessna is going to be introducing into their planes the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit which is reported to be the new way forward with airplane avionics and equipment.

The Cessna 172’s competitors include the Beechcraft Musketeer, the Grumman American AA-5 series (neither in production today, but were competitors during the 1960s and 70s), the Piper Cherokee, the Diamond DA-40, and the Cirrus SR-22. These earlier versions of the 172 shipped with a 145 horsepower engine. Later planes shipped with engines up to 180 horsepower, though 150 or 160 hp is more common. Cessna produced a retractable gear version of the Cessna 172 named the Cutlass 172RG and also produced versions on floats.

The Cessna 172RG also had a variable pitch, constant speed propeller and more powerful stock engine as did the more spartan militarized Cessna 172E that was sold to the U.S. Army as a spotter plane. The Cessna R172K Hawk XP was produced in the late 1970’s, and featured a fuel injected Continental IO-360-k, which performs only to 195hp. This aircraft is capable of a 131 knot cruise speed, and performs similarly to the Cessna 182.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the aircraft most people visualize when they hear the words ” small plane”. More people probably know the name Piper Cub, but the Skyhawk’s shape is far more familiar. Most people own a 172, as I have seen at my local airport. But in my opinion, the Cessna 172 is a nice plane to fly as in the flying I have done in it in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I could be wrong, but from me it’s a good plane for beginners.

When you hear the words ‘ski lodge’, you’re immediately swept away by images of fresh fallen snow, bright ski gear, snowboarding, and chair lifts. Well, while all of those images are well and good, what happens during the late spring and summer months? After all, the amount of snow falling will be drastically lower & what is on the ground may not be the most conducive to traditional “slope” activities.

The important thing is to not get discouraged. Traveling to a ski lodge during less-than-peak times doesn’t mean you’re out of luck in terms of the fun. In fact, you might be in store for some absolutely awesome times. Here are five things that will make your post-ski season ski lodge visit an absolute blast:

1. Hiking – This is an unsung activity that often gets touted as a “must do” in just about any environment. Keep in mind, though, that you’re in the mountains, and as such, the terrain is actually the birthplace of the hike. You’re also being greeted by an environment that has cool, temperate weather, elevations that test your physical fitness, and you can finally eat trail mix on a trail where you’re using a lot of energy!

2. Camping – Ski lodges have the fortunate nature of being in and around national forests. Not only are you greeted with pristine, unspoiled nature, you’re also given the chance to really enjoy the wild. Take advantage by taking a walk along a riverbank or just look up in the sky & see all of the stars that you aren’t afforded by living in the big city.

3. Fishing – It might be a hard sell to call fishing a ‘cool’ activity, but the fact remains that anglers and outdoorsman are part of the original “mountain folk” in this country, so in some respects, by casting a line into a mountain stream, you are connecting with a long line of pioneers. Plus, being able to fish is about as relaxed as you can get. The key is to remember that the fishing is the fun part, and you always have the catching to look forward to as well.

4. Horseback Riding – Luckily, many ski lodges and their surrounding towns offer horseback riding to visitors as a way to explore. Riding a horse is akin to connecting to a traditional way of life, and it’s also a great way for someone to gain an appreciation for the amazing animal we call the horse.

5. Off-Road Adventure – Now for something completely different! Many ski lodges are situated near off-road vehicle trails. What better way to hit the “back country” than by revving your ATV engine and letting nature know you’re there to explore. Many lodges can steer you in the right direction for ATV rental companies so you don’t have to supply your own vehicle.

Be adventurous & have an open mind, and you’ll be sure to find that a ski lodge can be so much more than just skiing.

There’s much talk amongst those who call themselves light-workers that the entire planet of Earth is ascending to a higher level of “vibration” and it is assumed by some that everyone who is here will be swept up in a grand movement and ascend right along with the planet. The alternative scenario going around is this: Of two men in a field, one will be “raptured” and the other will be “left behind.” Although there is some level of truth in both of these scenarios, neither is an accurate assessment of what will happen. In fact, some of this inaccuracy is the result of information being “lost in translation” when it is channeled from another realm.

It is prudent to be cautious about the first scenario because of the following: When you hear that the entire planet is ascending, there is a tendency to give up your own responsibility and power, your own growth and expansion, and wait for something to happen “out there”–which means it won’t ever happen. (This is why greater and greater measures–most of which are unpleasant and uncomfortable to deal with–have to be taken to wake most people up out of their illusions.)

In the second (“rapture”) scenario, the one who chooses to take responsibility, to take back one’s power, to become a master of one’s life, will experience new insights and epiphanies that will feel glorious, that willfeel like rapture, but that doesn’t mean he will go “poof” and disappear from this planet, leaving his clothes behind. Rather, his consciousness will “ascend;” he will become more enlightened. (The one who’s “left behind” will take responsibility and become enlightened a bit later…or perhaps in another lifetime…when he’s more ready.)

Each individual has to do the work of ascending his or her own consciousness, the most important step of which is to follow one’s inner guidance such that one fulfills the unique contribution that will help create the new earth, the Golden Age on Earth. I know this because of firsthand experience of the ascension process, not because I channel because technically, I don’t. I also say what I mean and am responsible for my words. On the other hand, those who channel often absolve themselves of responsibility when they say that on their own, they could not come up with the information they come up with when they channel other beings. (And this somehow is supposed to give them more credence.)

In any case, I recognize wisdom when I hear it and I was recently blessed to hear the group soul “Ra’An” discuss Ascension. (Ra’An is channeled through Terry Brown, who is connected with Wynn Free.) A listener of Wynn Free’s show asked whether everyone will ascend along with the Earth as the entire Earth was ascending. I am including Ra’An’s response here because I know many people still rely on channeled material for answers to these types of questions. (Notice how easily many give up their own mind power to those who are supposedly in the “higher realms”…particularly in light of the fact that ascending in consciousness requires the greater use of one’s own inner guidance, mind power, and discernment.)

The following is an excerpt of Ra’An’s answer: “…One should not merely assume they are ascending just by virtue of the fact that someone said the whole planet is ascending. It is an individual thing and as we have mentioned, road-blocks can come in the way by man-made interference in the process. For instance, road blocks in economic harmony and slanting outcomes by manipulating products, transport of products, economic difficulties such as lack of jobs by slanting the money so that individuals will run into difficulties which will hold them back from an open heart and full expression within their God-given rights to interact with others. That is our answer.”–Ra’An channeled by Terry Brown, July 13, 2011

I wonder: Are these economic road-blocks part of the “measures” being taken to help wake people up out of their illusions? Certainly, I have experienced economic measures on my own path of ascension…which I am just recently rising up from, now that I have fulfilled the core of my unique contribution.

The reason that many ought to be able to ascend this time around is that we are in the age of the Internet and information is readily available at the click of a mouse–not because we will be automatically swept up. Actually, I found the ascension process to be quite the opposite of automatic, requiring the deliberate expansion of one’s consciousness and then deliberate changes in one’s behavior and life direction.

Indeed, another recent channeling from an “ascended master” advises the following: “It is time to take your steps to the next level, that of self-responsibility and self mastery…Each of you is capable of achieving greater things than you have ever dreamt possible.–Hilarion, July 31-August 6, 2011, channeled by Marlene Swetlishoff.

I have stated before that rather than viewing Ascension as some mass event happening “out there,” you as an individual must focus on raising your consciousness by reconnecting with your higher self and following through with your inner guidance so that you fulfill your unique contribution to this planet. Unless people stop viewing Ascension as some “mass event out there,” there will be no mass event.

Jointing sand (types)

Sand particles should typically be symmetrical and angular in shape. Particles that are too round and close to the same gradation will eventually wash out of the joints. Sand that is too soft will not be able to transfer loads properly.

Contractors have several different options available for sand. Polymeric sand is gaining in popularity among contractors for several reasons. Polymeric sand is unlike sand. Polymeric sand stays in place, stabilizes the work, follows movement of the pavers, reduces weed growth, keeps insects from penetrating between the joints and is available in different colors. Other jointing sands that are commonly used by contractors are mason sand, torpedo sand and stone dust.

Purpose of jointing sand

There are generally three functions for jointing sand:

1. It will act as a medium through which applied traffic loads are transferred between paver to paver.

2. It helps prevent pavers from being pinched together.

3. It exerts friction between the pavers to help prevent movement.

Typically when the joints between the pavers are completely filled with sand, the loads applied to the pavers are transferred to the surrounding pavers. This enables the paver units to act together, as a load bearing system. Joints that are not completely filled with jointing sand can cause the pavers to act independently, which might result in future pavement failure.

Pavers will tend to shift and rotate when exposed to various traffic loads. Joints between the pavers that are completely filled with sand will prevent this from happening. Most pavers are manufactured with spacing bars. These spacing bars create a space between the pavers, which allow for proper sand installation. Pavers that are installed without spacing bars will tend to pinch, resulting in the chipping of pavers in heavy traffic.

Jointing sand installation and final compaction

Before jointing sand is spread across the surface of the pavers. The pavers should be compacted. (See section 4.8 ). After your first compaction of the pavers, you can spread a liberal amount of jointing sand across the surface of the pavers. After you have spread the jointing sand, you need to sweep the sand into the paver joints. Once the jointing sand has been swept across the surface of the paver, you can vibrate the pavers with a plate compactor. When compacting the pavers with jointing sand, it is recommended to compact the pavers in two different directions. This will force the jointing sand down into the joints and interlock the pavers. After compacting the pavers, jointing sand should be applied to the entire surface again and swept into place. This will ensure that all the joints are being properly filled. You should repeat this process as many times as needed to fill all the joints.

Final inspection and cleanup

Once you have completed the jointing sand application, it is best to do an overall inspection of your project. The overall appearance of your project is very critical, especially to your clients.

It is best to remove any extra sand from the surface of the pavers prior to doing your final inspection. During your inspection, it is important to pay attention to the following:

1. All damaged pavers are marked and replaced.

2. All pavers are level and true to grade. The final surface elevations should not vary more than +3/8 in, under a run of 10 ft. The top of the pavers should be 1/8 to 1/4 in above the adjacent catch basins, drains and utility covers. The top of the pavers may be 1/8 to1/4 in above the final elevations to compensate for possible minor settling.

3. There is positive pitch for drainage to all drains and channels.

4. All joints are completely filled with sand.

5. All extra materials are removed from the job site ( i.E. Gravel, sand, garbage, pavers and pallets )

6. Schedule a final walk through with the client to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

7. Repair any punch list items they may address.

It is best to develop a project check list. A project check list can help minimize any future call backs from the client. It is best to go over the check list with the client and have them sign off on it when the project is complete.

Final statement: this study guide was developed to provide you with the knowledge required to obtain the highest of standards in the industry. By following and applying the principles in this study guide, you can significantly increase the success of your every project.

The constants in life are power and feeling. The changes in life are in the expressions creatures find for these constants.

Therefore I may feel love [or hate] and express it in different ways, but the fact that I feel love [or hate] is a constant and an ancient thing pledged by the Creator in many religions though there be times of joy, and times of war and times of utter silence. [For is everything unbalanced and chaotic then; even in the mind of the Creator, or it is simply in the expressions we perceive? I should hope that it is the latter].

The constant of power; authority, wealth, advantage, hierarchy, is always present in human societies [and amongst other beasts]. There is always one superior or inferior to the other [depending on the vantage point] amongst two or more individuals. The vantage point being the focus from which the change must spring.

The constants of human behavior are the feelings that pass through our minds and bodies and the powers we possess to express them or suppress them.

Our feelings can be broken down into the raw electrical impulses contained in these compound descriptions we term as love, anger, loneliness, joy, bitterness, excitement, depression, anticipation, ecstasy, pessimism, grief, apathy, peace, rapture, goodwill and benevolence, strength, lust, weakness, temptation, resolve, wrath, intimidation … Our feelings are truths [it is written somewhere that the body cannot lie], they reflect things that stimulate and impress upon us and the they are the truths that lie behind all our actions.

This is the first part of the rule governing human behavior, the second half being the power that exists alongside these feelings to bring them to the surface or to suppress them.

The constant; human beings are induced to feel, and the power that exists alongside a feeling will bring it into dominance or let it be suppressed in the flow of events set into motion by the inducement and the tide of inducements.

Change therefore comes forth from the individual abilities of individual feelings to thrive or be swept away [or rather ‘under rug swept’].

Nothing is new. For example boats, cars, airplanes, spaceships all originate from the same concept which is travel. They are merely different expressions of travel that have led to an evolution of the concept of travel. But travel [motion from which it evolved] continues to exist.

And from this suggestion can there be any true concept of change in the complete differentiation of two separate factors? Everything continues to evolve, not change, things that lie beneath the surface continue to be revealed, and things before the naked eye continue to disappear behind appearances.

Is it not merely the shifting of focuses, shifting of conceptions and perceptions, shifting of ‘expressions’ most importantly, that has led to this illusion of ‘change’?

Nothing changes; things merely appear and disappear. These things being things that have existed throughout our concept of existence and will continue beyond it.

Nothing changes.

And therefore change is not real. Only the constants are real. Ah, once again I begin to stress the utmost significance of feelings. But I believe they are the real things in life, the forces beneath the chimeras. Just as power, the second constant; is. Everything else is an illusion. I believe truth lies in feeling and deception in expression. Feeling lies untouched within the vials of emotion that exist within the mind and spirit, but expression is corrupted from the outside.

Which is why people can be ‘deluded’ and deceived by what they are induced to feel. For example torture or well-being can be induced to the mind through the use of machines and chemical compounds that produce stimulus, people can swallow pills and consume narcotics to stimulate ecstasy and invincibility, and even the mere watching of porn movies, feeding the mind with sexual imagery to stimulate sexual desire, or listening of music for relaxation or excitement.

This is the whole genesis of the substitute worlds we create around us, which I believe are no less real [to our minds at least] than the supposed ‘real world of existence’.

So ‘addicts’, ‘dreamers’ and people who generally seek to escape from ‘reality’ have unfortunately, through their individual methods, used these substitute, synthesized worlds to the general disadvantage of their ‘actual’ existences, realizing that everything is in fact a total illusion, and preferring to then have at least a dominance or a control over the illusion projected around them through the alternative means they have acquired and utilized instantly, whenever they want.

This is not to say that these illusions are unnecessary.

They are not, for how else can positive feelings become induced or good vibrations introduced to influence the ‘real’ world?

I believe the purpose of human existence is to feel. We live to feel, even in the most mundane circumstances. And we acquire experience and skill to develop the potential feelings inside ourselves. We earn money to make ourselves ‘feel’ comfortable. We surround ourselves with protection to make ourselves ‘feel’ secure and safe. We make families to ‘feel’ happy and loved. We observe our religious obligations to ‘feel’ better about ourselves.

It is only unnecessary to willfully allow our minds to place an addictive emphasis on any of the things outside the two constants.

We wear clothes not to ‘feel’ naked. Yet ages ago human beings did not ‘feel’ naked whilst they roamed about in the nude.

Nakedness is a feeling and a constant, the way it is induced and expressed changes. The illusion of change comes with evolution, but the feeling; the chemical impulse, remains the same.

Hence we concern ourselves with preserving our minds from the inducements of nakedness, and not magnify the need parts of the body to be concealed. In essence, we accept the mode to avoid the feeling of nakedness if it is by concealing certain parts, but we are not deceived that it is a constant, for expressions change [for people still roam about in the nude in parts of the world even at present and it is not an expression of nakedness to them as individuals].

It’s all about the feeling.

So the projection of illusions to induce feelings is necessary. Only, I believe in putting these rules into practice in the ‘real’ world. For we must have been placed here in our ‘real’ world, here amongst ourselves, sharing an illusion, for some purpose.

The rules governing human behavior, the two constants; power and feeling, can be utilized directly without substitute synthesized worlds that are separate from the illusions shared by groups of human beings, for these substitutes may put the power over our illusions into other hands in the long run.

For end the supply of drugs and the addict’s ‘new world of feeling’ will come to an end. And what a tragedy! Somebody brought on an apocalypse. Somebody else was in control after all. That person became the god; the creator of the addict’s realm.

Do not be a subject. Be a god, and be the god.

How? By learning from the Creator, and the creators that use His principles [although often in adulterated versions].

Take control of your world and derive your feelings from enduring, lasting things that have an endless supply.

Do not plug into anything temporary unless there is an enduring substance to be derived when it passes away. Let the elements be the source of your ultimate highs; derive your euphoria from the stars! If you are what you eat then eat from the earth that lasts forever. Grow yourself from constants not changes. Emphasize on the constants, not the change.

Feelings are the key to life. My task is to perceive the feelings in myself, the feelings in others, and our sources. For I will then be able to conceptualize and induce or predict change in myself and amongst the human beings around me that inevitably affect my existence.

And power; one must perceive the power in oneself and the power in others, and our sources, for this same purpose.

Determined by the feelings sprung inside me, I must have a control over the inducements, create the changes where they are necessary, destroy the changes where they are not, draw the positive feelings closer, separate myself from the negative.

All through perception will I be able to know about feelings and power. All through perception can I establish the constants of human behavior surrounding me.
