Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived Additional notes from the author: If you want to learn more about Tesla, I highly recommend reading Tesla: Man Out of Time Also, this Badass of the week by Ben Thompson is what originally inspired me to write a comic about Tesla. Ben's also got a book out which is packed full of awesome. There's an old movie from the 80s on Netflix Instant Queue right now about Tesla: The Secret of Nikola Tesla. It's corny and full of bad acting, but it paints a fairly accurate depiction of his life.
Feng Shui Diaries Esoteric Feng Shui remains a secret even in the 21st century with its theories and methods still hidden from the outside world. The sacred art and science of it is shared with only a select lucky few, and in ancient times its students were required to recite an oath, as well as sign a written one on paper, that they would not divulge their knowledge. The written oath was then burned in a ceremonial fire and those who broke their silence would suffer the wrath of heaven’s fury. The name for esoteric Feng Shui is Xuan Kong Liu Fa (XKLF). Because of it’s continued secrecy, and possibly because no one has ever translated the XKLF classics into English, it has remained concealed to the Western world until now. T’an Yang Wu (TYW) was such a master and became the modern day found of XKLF in the 1940s after learning it from the Taoist priest Lee Chen Xu in 1929. After learning XKLF from the Taoist priest TYW went into silence, studied, and experimented with it by himself for eight years. A.
Egotism Egotism is the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself, and generally features an inflated opinion of one's personal features and importance—intellectual, physical, social and other.[1] The egotist has an overwhelming sense of the centrality of the 'Me': of their personal qualities.[2] Egotism means placing oneself at the core of one's world with no concern for others, including those loved or considered as "close," in any other terms except those set by the egotist. Characteristics[edit] Egotism differs from both altruism - or acting to gain fewer values than are being given– and from egoism, the unremitting pursuit of one's own self-interest. Various forms of "empirical egoism" can be consistent with egotism, but do not necessitate having an inflated sense of self.[7] Development[edit] In developmental terms, two rather different trajectories can be distinguished with respect to egotism – the one individual, the other cultural.

I discuss my impressions with the clients and put together an energetic picture of the house. This energetic picture is like a snapshot of what we refer to in Feng Shui as the "Qi" (pronounced "chee") of the house. Qi means all pervading energy, however, in a much greater scope than we are accustomed to defining it. Chinese medicine and all Chinese practices are based on Qi - as is Feng Shui. A building has its own "bio-energy field", a modern term for Qi, which, in fact, is manifested in a double layer of a specific density embracing the entire house like a gigantic bubble. The house aura is primarily manifested in a double hull. To accelerate this process an energy clearing can be performed. The aura bubbles protect the house from outside influences, as a person's aura protects the body.
Source Vibrations Feng Shui in the Office - Institute of Feng Shui There are no translations available. Inner Tapestry for December 2004: Many of us spend nearly as much time in our office as in our home. Consequently, our work space has a significant influence on our career, as well as our personal life. Offices also have the challenge of integrating the energy of co-workers, machinery and often dealing with limited space. Despite of all these different parameters the basic principles of Feng Shui still apply. The first basic principle, as in any Feng Shui situation, is to clear clutter, especially the desk. Picture: Free flow of Qi through a room. Secondly, try to identify how much Qi there is in general and if you need any Qi enhancement. Exposed situations are often good for businesses. In the case of using a basement for an office space, try to get as much light and fresh air as possible. Use an air purifier which filters and ionizes the air at the same time. Make sure there is a solid wall behind your seat.
What's New on Integral Naked Ian Stevenson Ian Pretyman Stevenson (October 31, 1918 – February 8, 2007) was a Canadian-born U.S. psychiatrist. He worked for the University of Virginia School of Medicine for fifty years, as chair of the department of psychiatry from 1957 to 1967, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry from 1967 to 2001, and Research Professor of Psychiatry from 2002 until his death.[1] As founder and director of the university's Division of Perceptual Studies, which investigates the paranormal, Stevenson became known internationally for his research into reincarnation, the idea that emotions, memories, and even physical injuries in the form of birth-marks, can be transferred from one life to another.[2] He traveled extensively over a period of forty years, investigating three thousand cases of children around the world who claimed to remember past lives.[3] His position was that certain phobias, philias, unusual abilities and illnesses could not be explained by heredity or the environment.

National Rainbow Gathering 'Camp Cuddle Muddle Puddle' represented Pierce County at Rainbow Gathering. Deep in the Gifford Pinchot Forest, tens of thousands of people held hands in a large mountain meadow after a morning of silence. Without assigned leaders or hierarchy, they started harmonizing an impressive 'Om' as a prayer for peace. When a children's parade bursted onto the scene full of color and music, the adults followed suit. The wave of merriment stretched for miles and eventually enveloped everyone in hugs, laughter and dancing. It's not your typical 4th of July celebration, but for many it's 'Home.' “Rainbow Gatherings attract a diverse crowd of people, (from)...caring, ecologically aware, insightful, amazing people (to some of the) dirtiest and most belligerent," said Tacoma resident Amir Shawn. Because of the location's proximity, Pierce County residents from as far as Dieringer were scattered through the crowd. People show up with a purpose too: peace.
