Public Sector: Government gross debt as % of GDP, data by IMF (2012)
Private Sector: China’s debt has swelled to more than 2 1/2 times the size of its economy, a sign Beijing will face difficulties as it seeks to expand, triggering to a financial crisis.
The world’s second-largest economy in June reached a total debt-to-gross domestic product ratio of 251 percent, up from 147 percent at the end of 2008, Standard Chartered Bank estimates.
The United States had a total debt-to-GDP ratio of about 260 percent by the end of last year, and Britain’s ratio was about 277 percent. Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio at 415 percent, Standard Chartered estimates.
Economists are primarily concerned not that China has a high debt-to-GDP ratio but that China’s debt is rising so rapidly since financial turmoil usually follows such increases.
“Our analysis suggests that countries that see increases in debt-to-GDP of more than 30 percent in a decade — it’s often a warning sign,” said Mark Williams, Asia economist for Capital Economics. “China’s has grown 70 percent in five years.”
There’s been a slowdown in credit growth in the past few quarters, but debt is still expanding faster than GDP. In other words, risk is still building.
“What we need is for credit to be allocated more efficiently, to get a bigger economic bang for your buck,” Williams said. “Achieving that is not so easy.”
Chinese credit is predominately channeled through state-owned banks, and the companies first in line to receive the credit tend to be most connected to the government, or state-owned firms. Some of those firms backed by the state don’t generate profits.

1-Từ bài hát ru VÍ DẦU CẦU VÁN ĐÓNG ĐINH
Nếu người miền Bắc có kiểu hát ru con À ƠI mà nỗi buồn loang xa ra ngoài ngàn dặm, thì người phương Nam cũng có điệu hát ru ẦU Ơ đặc trưng, chuyên chở những câu ca dao mộc mạc, chân phương, lai láng tình người.
Trong số những bài ru của các bà mẹ, người chị miền Nam “VÍ DẦU CẦU VÁN ĐÓNG ĐINH” có thể xem như là một thí dụ tiêu biểu :
Ầu ơơơ …
Ví dầu cầu ván đóng đinh
Cầu tre lắt lẻo gập ghềnh khó đi
Khó đi, mẹ dắt con đi
Con đi trường học, mẹ đi trường đời
Mở đầu là một câu hát VÍ nhập đề ngẫu hứng bằng bốn chữ CẦU VÁN ĐÓNG ĐINH. Bốn chữ rất bình thường, rất đơn sơ, nêu bật hình ảnh chiếc cầu gỗ, được đóng bằng đinh ken vào nhau chắc chắn, một dạng cầu xem như … “kiên cố” thường thấy ở nông thôn thuở trước. Để rồi qua đó dẫn thẳng vào câu hai, một câu TỶ : đối chiếu, so sánh lập tức với chiếc CẦU TRE LẮT LẺO, GẬP GHỀNH một hình ảnh phổ quát ở miền quê phương Nam, tương phản hoàn toàn với chiếc cầu ván đóng đinh chắc chắn.
Tại những con kênh, rạch, mương, ngòi nhỏ người ta thường nối liền đôi bờ bằng cách bắc những chiếc cầu DỪA và nhất là cầu TRE, hai trong số những loại cây sống và phát triển rất mạnh mẽ ở nông thôn. Một chiếc cầu tre có thể gồm nhiều NHỊP, mỗi nhịp chỉ là một thân tre bắc nằm ngang, gác lên MỐ CẦU. Mố cầu gồm hai thanh tre cắm xuống lòng kênh rạch, bắt chéo nhau thành hình chữ X, được buộc lại chặt chẽ bằng dây lạt dừa hoặc … dây chuối. Cầu tre có thể có tay vịn giúp cho trẻ nhỏ và người già đi qua an toàn, nhưng cũng có thể không có tay vịn, khiến cho người ta mỗi khi qua cầu đều phải trổ thuật giữ thăng bằng của người … làm xiếc, bằng cách dang rộng hai tay và đi chân không … chạy ù qua cầu , càng nhanh thì càng dễ giữ được thăng bằng . Người nhát gan, qua cầu theo kiểu … “cà mà cập mập” rất dễ bị rơi tõm xuống nước ! Dân thành phố đứng trước loại cầu này kể như … không rét mà run ! (Bản thân tôi khi mới “đương đầu” với những chiếc cầu tre, thường là phải thốt lời tỉ tê dịu ngọt :-“Dzắt anh wa dzí !” )
Đơn sơ như thế, tầm thường như thế nhưng chính chiếc cầu tre lại trở thành tiêu biểu, đặc trưng, trở thành hồn quê, hồn nước như chiếc nón lá, chiếc áo dài Việt Nam vậy. Người đi xa quê hương thoáng nhớ đến hình ảnh chiếc cầu tre không thể nào tránh khỏi lưu luyến, bùi ngùi.
Hậu quả của tính chất lắt lẻo, gập ghềnh của cầu tre là KHÓ ĐI. Từ hai chữ “Khó đi” ấy, lời ru dẫn nhập vào câu ba bằng cách lặp lại và khẳng định : “KHÓ ĐI, MẸ DẮT CON ĐI” nêu bật tình mẫu tử bao la, việc khó nào mẹ cũng gánh vác, đỡ đần cho con, đặc biệt khi ta còn thơ ấu, việc nào cũng khó, khó nào cũng phải nương cậy vào nơi mẹ cả.
Tứ thơ đột ngột chuyển sang phần kết thúc bằng câu bát : “CON ĐI TRƯỜNG HỌC, MẸ ĐI TRƯỜNG ĐỜI” với hình thức Mỹ từ pháp Tiểu đồng dạng “Con đi …, mẹ đi …”, đậm đà chất thơ. Đồng dạng vì cả con lẫn mẹ đều gặp khó, đều phải đối diện cùng những chiếc cầu tre lắt lẻo, gập ghềnh vô hình trong cuộc đời. Đồng dạng nhưng dị biệt vì mức độ khó khăn của mẹ trong trường đời khó khăn hơn cái khó của con trong trường học nhiều. Hơn nữa, con khó còn có mẹ giúp (Khó đi, mẹ dắt con đi), ngược lại, khi mẹ gặp khó thì chẳng có ai giúp cả, giữa gió mưa giông tố của đời, mẹ phải cắn răng độc lập xoay sở lấy một mình
Trong 4 câu lục bát trên đây, ngoài câu một nhập đề ngẫu hứng, câu hai là câu tỷ giảo (so sánh) , nội dung chính yếu của bài ru tập trung trong hai câu sau :
Khó đi, mẹ dắt con đi
Con đi trường học, mẹ đi trường đời
Ngoài Tiểu đồng dạng ra, điệp ngữ 4 chữ ĐI thật là tuyệt diệu vậy

in the study of tragedy/comedy {The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music (German: Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik) is an 1872 work of dramatic theory by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It was reissued in 1886 as The Birth of Tragedy, Or: Hellenism and Pessimism (Die Geburt der Tragödie, Oder: Griechentum und Pessimismus). The later edition contained a prefatory essay, An Attempt at Self-Criticism, wherein Nietzsche commented on this earliest book.
Nietzsche found in classical Athenian tragedy an art form that transcended the pessimism and nihilism of a fundamentally meaningless world. The Greek spectators, by looking into the abyss of human suffering and affirming it, passionately and joyously affirmed the meaning of their own existence. They knew themselves to be infinitely more than petty individuals, finding self-affirmation not in another life, not in a world to come, but in the terror and ecstasy alike celebrated in the performance of tragedies.
Originally educated as a philologist, Nietzsche discusses the history of the tragic form and introduces an intellectual dichotomy between the Dionysian and the Apollonian (very loosely: reality as disordered and undifferentiated by forms versus reality as ordered and differentiated by forms).

Daphnis and Chloe is the story of a boy (Daphnis) and a girl (Chloe), each of whom is exposed at birth along with some identifying tokens. A goatherd named Lamon discovers Daphnis, and a shepherd called Dryas finds Chloe. Each decides to raise the child he finds as his own. Daphnis and Chloe grow up together, herding the flocks for their foster parents. They fall in love but, being naive, do not understand what is happening to them. Philetas, a wise old cowherd, explains to them what love is and tells them that the only cure is kissing[2] They do this. Eventually, Lycaenion, a woman from the city, educates Daphnis in love-making. Daphnis, however, decides not to test his newly acquired [talent] on Chloe, because Lycaenion tells Daphnis that Chloe “will scream and cry and lie bleeding heavily [as if murdered].”[2] Throughout the book, Chloe is courted by suitors, two of whom (Dorcon and Lampis) attempt with varying degrees of success to abduct her. She is also carried off by raiders from a nearby city and saved by the intervention of the god Pan. Meanwhile, Daphnis falls into a pit, gets beaten up, is abducted by pirates, and is very nearly raped. In the end, Daphnis and Chloe are recognized by their birth parents, get married, and live out their lives in the country from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphnis_and_Chloe
Nietzsche claims life always involves a struggle between these two elements, each battling for control over the existence of humanity. In Nietzsche’s words, “Wherever the Dionysian prevailed, the Apollonian was checked and destroyed…. wherever the first Dionysian onslaught was successfully withstood, the authority and majesty of the Delphic god Apollo exhibited itself as more rigid and menacing than ever.” Yet neither side ever prevails due to each containing the other in an eternal, natural check, or balance.
Nietzsche argues that the tragedy of Ancient Greece was the highest form of art due to its mixture of both Apollonian and Dionysian elements into one seamless whole, allowing the spectator to experience the full spectrum of the human condition. The Dionysian element was to be found in the music of the chorus, while the Apollonian element was found in the dialogue which gave a concrete symbolism that balanced the Dionysiac revelry. Basically, the Apollonian spirit was able to give form to the abstract Dionysian.
Before the tragedy, there was an era of static, idealized plastic art in the form of sculpture that represented the Apollonian view of the world. The Dionysian element was to be found in the wild revelry of festivals and drunkenness, but, most importantly, in music. The combination of these elements in one art form gave birth to tragedy. He theorizes that the chorus was originally always satyrs, goat-men. (This is speculative, although the word “tragedy” τραγωδία is contracted from trag(o)-aoidiā = “goat song” from tragos = “goat” and aeidein = “to sing”.) Thus, he argues, “the illusion of culture was wiped away by the primordial image of man” for the audience; they participated with and as the chorus empathetically, “so that they imagined themselves as restored natural geniuses, as satyrs.” But in this state, they have an Apollonian dream vision of themselves, of the energy they’re embodying. It’s a vision of the god, of Dionysus, who appears before the chorus on the stage. And the actors and the plot are the development of that dream vision, the essence of which is the ecstatic dismembering of the god and of the Bacchantes’ rituals, of the inseparable ecstasy and suffering of human existence.
After the time of Aeschylus and Sophocles, there was an age where tragedy died. Nietzsche ties this to the influence of writers like Euripides and the coming of rationality, represented by Socrates. Euripides reduced the use of the chorus and was more naturalistic in his representation of human drama, making it more reflective of the realities of daily life. Socrates emphasized reason to such a degree that he diffused the value of myth and suffering to human knowledge. For Nietzsche, these two intellectuals helped drain the ability of the individual to participate in forms of art, because they saw things too soberly and rationally. The participation mystique aspect of art and myth was lost, and along with it, much of man’s ability to live creatively in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life. Nietzsche concludes that it may be possible to reattain the balance of Dionysian and Apollonian in modern art through the operas of Richard Wagner, in a rebirth of tragedy.
In contrast to the typical Enlightenment view of ancient Greek culture as noble, simple, elegant and grandiose, Nietzsche believed the Greeks were grappling with pessimism. The universe in which we live is the product of great interacting forces; but we neither observe nor know these as such. What we put together as our conceptions of the world, Nietzsche thought, never actually addresses the underlying realities. It is human destiny to be controlled by the darkest universal realities and, at the same time, to live life in a human-dreamt world of illusions.
The issue, then, or so Nietzsche thought, is how to experience and understand the Dionysian side of life without destroying the obvious values of the Apollonian side. It is not healthy for an individual, or for a whole society, to become entirely absorbed in the rule of one or the other. The soundest (healthiest) foothold is in both. Nietzsche’s theory of Athenian tragic drama suggests exactly how, before Euripides and Socrates, the Dionysian and Apollonian elements of life were artistically woven together. The Greek spectator became healthy through direct experience of the Dionysian within the protective spirit-of-tragedy on the Apollonian stage.
Influences[edit]
The Birth of Tragedy is a young man’s work, and shows the influence of many of the philosophers Nietzsche had been studying
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Tragedy} theatrical plays one’s own “form” is refered to as one’s own “character” … a tragic/comedic “flaw” that causes downfall …. in some sense a hero’s “character” is defined by the uniqueness or difference or separation etc. of the hero from the rest of the world …:
Tragedy is concerned with the hero’s separation from society. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_Criticism
Ethos (/ˈiːθɒs/ or /ˈiːθoʊs/) is a Greek word meaning “character” that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology. The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music to influence its hearer’s emotions, behaviours, and even morals.[1] Early Greek stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way. The word’s use in rhetoric is closely based on the Greek terminology used by Aristotle in his concept of the three artistic proofs.
Etymology and origin[edit]
Ethos (ἦθος, ἔθος, plurals: ethe (ἤθη), ethea (ἤθεα)) is a Greek word originally meaning “accustomed place” (as in ἤθεα ἵππων “the habitat of horses”, Iliad 6.511), “custom, habit”, equivalent to Latin mores.
Ethos forms the root of ethikos (ἠθικός), meaning “moral, showing moral character”. Used as a noun in the neuter plural form ta ethika (τὰ ἠθικά), used for the study of morals, it is the origin of the modern English word ethics.

I can’t afford his gas
So I’m stuck here watching TV
I don’t have digital
I don’t have diddly squat
It’s not having what you want
It’s wanting what you’ve got
[CHORUS:]
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I’m gonna tell ’em that)
I’ve got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I’m looking up o I’m gonna soak up the sun
I’m gonna soak up the sun
I’ve got a crummy job
It don’t pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I’m looking up, you’re looking down
Maybe something’s wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe i am crazy too
[CHORUS]
I’m gonna soak up the sun
While it’s still free
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don’t have no master suite
I’m still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I’m the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I’m looking up, you’re looking down
Maybe something’s wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
[CHORUS]
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on.

Zoroaster (/ˌzɒroʊˈæstər/ or /ˈzɒroʊˌæstər/, from Greek Ζωροάστρης Zōroastrēs), also known as Zarathustra (/ˌzɑrəˈθuːstrə/; Avestan: Zaraϑuštra; Persian: زرتشت Zartosht, زردشت Zardosht), was the founder of Zoroastrianism. Though he was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian plateau, his birthplace is uncertain. He is credited with the authorship of the Yasna Haptanghaiti as well as the Gathas, hymns which are at the liturgical core of Zoroastrian thinking. Most of his life is known through the Zoroastrian texts.
Zoroaster’s name in his native language, Avestan, was probably Zaraϑuštra. His English name, “Zoroaster”, derives from a later (5th century BCE) Greek transcription, Zōroastrēs (Ζωροάστρης),[2] as used in Xanthus’s Lydiaca (Fragment 32) and in Plato’s First Alcibiades (122a1). This form appears subsequently in the Latin Zōroastrēs and, in later Greek orthographies, as Zōroastris. The Greek form of the name appears to be based on a phonetic transliteration or semantic substitution of the Avestan zaraϑ- with the Greek zōros (literally “undiluted”) and the Avestan -uštra with astron (“star”).
In Avestan, Zaraϑuštra is generally accepted to derive from an Old Iranian *Zaratuštra-; The element half of the name (-uštra-) is considered to be the Indo-Iranian root for “camel”, the entire name meaning “he who can manage camels”.
Zoroastrianism /ˌzɒroʊˈæstriənɪzəm/, also called Zarathustraism, Mazdaism and Magianism, is an ancient Iranian religion and a religious philosophy. It was once the state religion of the Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sasanian empires.[1] Estimates of the current number of Zoroastrians worldwide vary between 145,000 and 2.6 million.[2]
Zoroastrianism arose in the eastern region of the ancient Persian Empire, when the religious philosopher Zoroaster simplified the pantheon of early Iranian gods[3] into two opposing forces: Spenta Mainyu (Progressive mentality) and Angra Mainyu (Destructive Mentality) under the one God, Ahura Mazda (Illuminating Wisdom).[4][5]
Zoroaster’s ideas led to a formal religion bearing his name by about the 6th century BCE and have influenced other later religions including Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity and Islam
In Zoroastrianism, the creator Ahura Mazda is all good [there is only one combination of “i’m …. ; you’re …” that is painless and free of suffering , namely “i’m ok; you’re ok”], and no evil originates from him. Thus, in Zoroastrianism good and evil have distinct sources, with evil (druj) trying to destroy the creation of Mazda (asha), and good trying to sustain it. While Ahura Mazda is not immanent in the world [in the way that “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” is similar to a mathematical “limit” … father said something to the effect that since this world has size/volume and is not a point singularity it’s “to each his/her own peace/p-each” and common peace could only be an “escapist”/”limit” vision … the “to dream the impossible dream/limit” … in the sense that perhaps the “impossible dream” or common peace or “you’re ok; i’m ok” is possible but you’re supposed … c.f. illusion of crossing in pendulum waves and observer-observed problems … to “have eyes/ears/mouths but as though see/hear/say no evil” “you’re ….; i’m ….” states much less that “impossible dream”, “common peace”, “you’re ok; i’m ok” state … that can be deduced with aid of an artificial definition but whose “immanent” existence is truly “unknown” … anyway regardless of whether you can sense it and therefore pick it as a fruit/result of your effort, you should … in the spirit/manner of pascal’s wager and voltaire’s ‘best of all possible worlds’ … jump over the sacre bleu nature of it all and … make the … c.f. emmanuelle and cher’s song etc … . … effort to transform “you’re …; i’m …” states to create-re-create the all-good/all-god state “you’re ok; i’m ok”
], his creation is represented by the Amesha Spentas and the host of other Yazatas, through whom the works of God are evident to humanity, and through whom worship of Mazda is ultimately directed. The most important texts of the religion are those of the Avesta, of which a significant portion has been lost, and mostly only the liturgies of which have survived
Zoroastrians believe that there is one universal, transcendent, supreme god, Ahura Mazda, or the “Wise Lord”. (Ahura means “Being” and Mazda means “Mind” in Avestan language). …
Ahura Mazda’s creation—which is evident as asha, truth and order—is the antithesis of chaos, which is evident as druj, falsehood and disorder. The resulting conflict involves the entire universe, including humanity, which has an active role to play in the conflict ….
The religion states that active participation in life through good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. This active participation is a central element in Zoroaster’s concept of free will, and Zoroastrianism rejects all forms of monasticism. Ahura Mazda will ultimately prevail over the evil Angra Mainyu or Ahriman, at which point the universe will undergo a cosmic renovation and time will end. In the final renovation, all of creation—even the souls of the dead that were initially banished to “darkness”—will be reunited in Ahura Mazda, returning to life in the undead form. At the end of time, a savior-figure (a Saoshyant) will bring about a final renovation of the world (frashokereti), in which the dead will be revived.[12]
In Zoroastrian tradition, the “chaotic” is represented by Angra Mainyu (also referred to as “Ahriman”), the “Destructive Principle”, while the benevolent is represented through Ahura Mazda’s Spenta Mainyu, the instrument or “Bounteous Principle” of the act of creation. It is through Spenta Mainyu that transcendental Ahura Mazda is immanent in humankind, and through which the Creator interacts with the world. According to Zoroastrian cosmology, in articulating the Ahuna Vairya formula, Ahura Mazda made His ultimate triumph evident to Angra Mainyu ….
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism
The Ahuna Vairya (Ahunavar, or yatha Ahu vairiyo) prayer [in Yasna 27.13] has been hailed as the most fundamental of all prayers of Zoroastrians. It is claimed to declare the credo of Zoroastrianism, and show us the way one should live. [One interpretation captions the hymn as “The Principle of Choice”, since the three lines of the invocation reflect the three choices that have to be made: ahu (frequently translated as ‘lord’, but is not in all translations a reference to Ahura Mazda), ratush (judgment), and kshathra (rule). from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahuna_Vairya%5D
Whether this is the case or not, it is debatable, however, it is the second most highly repeated prayer in the Zoroastrian scripture, after the “Ashem Vohu” prayer.
Ahuna Vairya
Yatha ahu, vairiyo
atha ratush ashat chit hacha
Vangheush dazda manangho
shyaothananam angheush Mazdai
Khashathremcha Ahurai a
Yim drigubyo dadat vastarem
Just as the righteous Creator of the world is powerful, in the same way any person will be powerful according to his/her righteousness.
The gift [a^n … ha^n ~ smile/thank: la^’y a^n ba’o oan’] of the Good Mind is both the effect and the cause of serving God’s Will.
One who dedicates ones life to serving the loves/needs of the world [one who answers the love lo ve^` of the world: la^’y a^n ba’o oa’n], will have the help of God’s powers and glory.
In other words, this prayer is in three parts:
1.The Law: Model after God. …. “in the image [of god/good]”, Golden Rule, “i’m good; you’re good”, “i’m ok; you’re ok” … it’s more than simple “in the image” “matching” … it’s “in the ‘good’ image”… phu+o+ng hu+o+’ng is toward good/god …
2.The Purpose: Serve God’s Will. …. “god/good/goodness: it’s all good” … johnny be good …
3.The Way: Godliness through service/acting/living. … good karma … beachboys good vibrations …

The Great Learning
By Confucius
Written ca. 500 B.C.E
What the great learning teaches, is to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence.
[thus note that it is more than simple “in the image” “matching”, it’s “in the ‘good’ image” … phu+o+ng hu+o+’ng is toward good/god :
russel: russia, the steppes, the aryan/iranian plateau, the india a^’n ~ a^n la^’y a^n ba’o oa’n, and china far west autonomous region of genghis khan … geographical neighbors all … “Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself.”
This was one of the guiding principles of life that Confucius taught his followers, five centuries before Jesus taught the Golden Rule with similar words

Ancient Babylon[edit]
The Code of Hammurabi (1780 BC)[10] dealt with the reciprocity of the Lex talionis in ways such as limiting retribution, as they did concepts of retribution (literally “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”).
Ancient China[edit]
The Golden Rule existed among all the major philosophical schools of Ancient China: Mohism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Examples of the concept include:
“Zi Gong asked, saying, “Is there one word that may serve as a rule of practice for all one’s life?” The Master said, “Is not reciprocity such a word?” – Confucius
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule
]
The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.
Things have their root and their branches. Affairs have their end and their beginning. To know what is first and what is last will lead near to what is taught in the Great Learning.
The ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the kingdom, first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order well their states, they first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things.
Things being investigated, knowledge became complete. Their knowledge being complete, their thoughts were sincere. Their thoughts being sincere, their hearts were then rectified. Their hearts being rectified, their persons were cultivated. Their persons being cultivated, their families were regulated. Their families being regulated, their states were rightly governed. Their states being rightly governed, the whole kingdom was made tranquil and happy.
From the Son of Heaven down to the mass of the people, all must consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides.
It cannot be, when the root is neglected, that what should spring from it will be well ordered. It never has been the case that what was of great importance has been slightly cared for, and, at the same time, that what was of slight importance has been greatly cared for.

SCENE II. Another part of the heath. Storm still.
Enter KING LEAR and Fool
KING LEAR
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench’d our steeples, drown’d the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o’ the world!
Crack nature’s moulds, an germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man!
Fool
O nuncle, court holy-water in a dry
house is better than this rain-water out o’ door.
Good nuncle, in, and ask thy daughters’ blessing:
here’s a night pities neither wise man nor fool.
KING LEAR
Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! spout, rain!
Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire, are my daughters:
I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness;
I never gave you kingdom, call’d you children,
You owe me no subscription: then let fall
Your horrible pleasure: here I stand, your slave,
A poor, infirm, weak, and despised old man:
But yet I call you servile ministers,
That have with two pernicious daughters join’d
Your high engender’d battles ‘gainst a head
So old and white as this. O! O! ’tis foul!
Fool
He that has a house to put’s head in has a good
head-piece.
The cod-piece that will house
Before the head has any,
The head and he shall louse;
So beggars marry many.
The man that makes his toe
What he his heart should make
Shall of a corn cry woe,
And turn his sleep to wake.
For there was never yet fair woman but she made
mouths in a glass.
KING LEAR
No, I will be the pattern of all patience;
I will say nothing.

“Dulcich Seedless table grapes: ‘grown with respect and sustainability to the environment … ce produit est cultive’ dans le respect de l’environment et de sa durabilite’. …”
In 1959, Jakov Dulcich and his wife Antoinette emigrated from Croatia to the New World. After spending a year in Chile, they settled in Delano, California, one of the best regions in the world for growing firm, luscious grapes. They worked in vineyards owned by Jakov’s uncle, saving enough to invest in their own small piece of farmland in 1975. Ten years later, they were able to devote themselves full-time to tending their very own farm. As the farm grew and prospered, so did Jakov and Antoinette’s family. Their two sons, Peter and Nick, followed in their parents’ footsteps, learning how to grow juicy, delicious grapes almost before they learned their ABC’s.

This was inspired by Priscilla Presley’s book Elvis And Me, where she described their relationship. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode said: “It’s a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It’s about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships – how everybody’s heart is like a god in some way, and that’s not a very balanced view of someone, is it?” http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3651

On the second occasion, Saul returns to Ziph with his men. When David hears of this he sneaks into Saul’s camp by night, and thrusts his spear into the ground near where Saul is sleeping. David prevents his associates from [violating the 10 commandments], because doing so would prove the former no more worthy than [that is mere “mirror” of] the latter; Instead, David merely steals Saul’s spear and water jug. The next day, David stands atop a slope opposite Saul’s camp; he shows the jug and spear as proof that he could have slain Saul but did not. David then persuades Saul to reconcile with him; the two swear never to harm one another. After this they never see each other again.

How Violence Is Ended
A Buddhist Legend …. c.f. arjuna and krishna below for hindu version …
Retold by Aaron Shepard
BRAHMADATTA: (to himself) How lovely. I have need of such music to ease my mind. (leaves the balcony)
NARRATOR 1: He sent for the singer, and Dighavu was brought before him.
BRAHMADATTA: (pleasantly) Sing for me.
NARRATOR 2: . . . said Brahmadatta, not knowing who the young man was.
NARRATOR 1: Dighavu sang, and the king’s heart was gladdened. Then Brahmadatta told him,
BRAHMADATTA: Stay with me. [movie “breathless” “stay with us”]
NARRATOR 2: And Dighavu answered,
DIGHAVU: (formally, with a bow) As you wish, my lord.
NARRATOR 1: So Dighavu became the king’s attendant.
NARRATOR 2: And since the young man’s conduct was agreeable and his words pleasing, the king grew ever more fond of him, bestowing on him more and more responsibility and trust.
NARRATOR 1: Then came a day when Brahmadatta desired to go hunting. And he told Dighavu,
BRAHMADATTA: (pleasantly) Today you will drive my chariot.
NARRATOR 2: And Dighavu replied,
DIGHAVU: (formally, with a bow) It is an honor, my lord.
NARRATOR 1: So Dighavu that day drove the chariot of the king.
NARRATOR 2: But as the hunters pursued their quarry, Dighavu cleverly took a path that led away. He brought the king far from the sight and hearing of the others.
NARRATOR 1: At last Brahmadatta said,
BRAHMADATTA: I wish to stop and rest.
NARRATOR 2: Dighavu dismounted and sat cross-legged on the ground. And he told the king,
DIGHAVU: Come rest yourself, my lord.
NARRATOR 1: So the king lay down beside Dighavu and slept.
NARRATOR 2: Dighavu gripped his sword and drew it slowly from its sheath.
NARRATOR 1: He pointed the blade at the throat of Brahmadatta.
NARRATOR 2: And then there came to him the words of his father.
DIGHITI: (speaking as Dighavu’s memory)
Be not shortsighted.
Be not longsighted.
Not by violence is violence ended.
Violence is ended by nonviolence.
NARRATOR 1: The sword of Dighavu trembled.
NARRATOR 2: He drew it slowly away and replaced it in its sheath.

Iconographic depictions[edit]
Feathered Serpent head at the Ciudadela complex in Teotihuacan
The earliest iconographic depiction of the deity is believed to be found on Stela 19 at the Olmec site of La Venta, depicting a serpent rising up behind a person probably engaged in a shamanic ritual. This depiction is believed to have been made around 900 BC. Although probably not exactly a depiction of the same feathered serpent deity worshipped in classic and post-classic periods, it shows the continuity of symbolism of feathered snakes in Mesoamerica from the formative period and on, for example in comparison to the Mayan Vision Serpent shown below.
Vision Serpent depicted on lintel 15 from Yaxchilan.
The first culture to use the symbol of a feathered serpent as an important religious and political symbol was Teotihuacan. At temples such as the aptly named “Quetzalcoatl temple” in the Ciudadela complex, feathered serpents figure prominently and alternate with a different kind of serpent head. The earliest depictions of the feathered serpent deity were fully zoomorphic, depicting the serpent as an actual snake, but already among the Classic Maya the deity began acquiring human features.
In the iconography of the classic period Maya serpent imagery is also prevalent: a snake is often seen as the embodiment of the sky itself, and a vision serpent is a shamanic helper presenting Maya kings with visions of the underworld.
The archaeological record shows that after the fall of Teotihuacan that marked the beginning of the epi-classic period in Mesoamerican chronology around 600 AD, the cult of the feathered serpent spread to the new religious and political centers in central Mexico, centers such as Xochicalco, Cacaxtla and Cholula.[3] Feathered serpent iconography is prominent at all of these sites. Cholula is known to have remained the most important center of worship to Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec/Nahua version of the feathered serpent deity, in the post-classic period.
During the epi-classic period, a dramatic spread of feathered serpent iconography is evidenced throughout Mesoamerica, and during this period begins to figure prominently at cites such as Chichén Itzá, El Tajín, and throughout the Maya area. Colonial documentary sources from the Maya area frequently speak of the arrival of foreigners from the central Mexican plateau, often led by a man whose name translates as “Feathered Serpent”; it has been suggested that these stories recall the spread of the feathered serpent cult in the epi-classic and early post-classic periods.[3]
In the post-classic Nahua civilization of central Mexico (Aztec), the worship of Quetzalcoatl was ubiquitous. The most important center was Cholula where the world’s largest pyramid was dedicated to his worship. In Aztec culture, depictions of Quetzalcoatl were fully anthropomorphic. Quetzalcoatl was associated with the windgod Ehecatl and is often depicted with his insignia: a beak-like mask.
In Aztec culture[edit]
Quetzalcoatl as depicted in the Codex Borbonicus.
To the Aztecs, Quetzalcoatl was, as his name indicates, a feathered serpent, a flying reptile (much like a dragon), who was a boundary-maker (and transgressor) between earth and sky. He was a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of Mankind. He also had anthropomorphic forms, for example in his aspects as Ehecatl the wind god. Among the Aztecs, the name Quetzalcoatl was also a priestly title, as the two most important priests of the Aztec Templo Mayor were called “Quetzalcoatl Tlamacazqui”. In the Aztec ritual calendar, different deities were associated with the cycle-of-year names: Quetzalcoatl was tied to the year Ce Acatl (One Reed), which correlates to the year
Since the sixteenth century, it has been widely held that the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II initially believed the landing of Hernán Cortés in 1519 to be Quetzalcoatl’s return. This view has been questioned by ethno-historians who argue that the Quetzalcoatl-Cortés connection is not found in any document that was created independently of post-Conquest Spanish influence, and that there is little proof of a pre-Hispanic belief in Quetzalcoatl’s return.[24][25][26][27][28] Most documents expounding this theory are of entirely Spanish origin, such as Cortés’s letters to Charles V of Spain, in which Cortés goes to great pains to present the naive gullibility of the Aztecs in general as a great aid in his conquest of Mexico.
Much of the idea of Cortés’ being seen as a deity can be traced back to the Florentine Codex written down some 50 years after the conquest. In the Codex’s description of the first meeting between Moctezuma and Cortés, the Aztec ruler is described as giving a prepared speech in classical oratorial Nahuatl, a speech which, as described in the codex written by the Franciscan Bernardino de Sahagún and his Tlatelolcan informants, included such prostrate declarations of divine or near-divine admiration as:
You have graciously come on earth, you have graciously approached your water, your high place of Mexico, you have come down to your mat, your throne, which I have briefly kept for you, I who used to keep it for you.
and:
You have graciously arrived, you have known pain, you have known weariness, now come on earth, take your rest, enter into your palace, rest your limbs; may our lords come on earth.
Subtleties in, and an imperfect scholarly understanding of, high Nahuatl rhetorical style make the exact intent of these comments tricky to ascertain, but Restall argues that Moctezuma’s politely offering his throne to Cortés (if indeed he did ever give the speech as reported) may well have been meant as the exact opposite of what it was taken to mean: politeness in Aztec culture was a way to assert dominance and show superiority. This speech, which has been widely referred to, has been a factor in the widespread belief that Moctezuma was addressing Cortés as the returning god Quetzalcoatl.
The Feathered Serpent deity was important in art and religion in most of Mesoamerica for close to 2,000 years, from the Pre-Classic era until the Spanish conquest. Civilizations worshiping the Feathered Serpent included the Mixtec, Toltec, Aztec, who adopted it from the people of Teotihuacan, and the Maya.
The cult of the serpent in Mesoamerica is very old; there are representations of snakes with bird-like characteristics as old as the Olmec preclassic (1150-500 BC). The snake represents the earth and vegetation, but it was in Teotihuacan (around 150 BC) where the snake got the precious feathers of the quetzal, as seen in the Murals of the city. The most elaborate representations come from the old Quetzalcoatl Temple around 200 BC, which shows a rattlesnake with the long green feathers of the quetzal.
The tradition of Quetzalcoatl originated in Central America near the time of Christ’s crucifixion. Various written accounts establish the following beliefs regarding Quetzalcoatl that were prevalent in Mesoamerica during the sixteenth century—
• He was born of a virgin.
• He was associated with a new star.
• He performed miracles.
• He taught the practice of baptism.
• He was associated with the cross.
• He was a symbol of death and resurrection.
• He sent disciples to preach His word.
• He prophesied of future events.
• He promised He would come a second time.
• He was the Creator of all things.
• He caused a great destruction in Central America circa 34 A.D.
• His children will become lords and heirs of the earth.

Taken together, these beliefs clearly mirror the accounts of Jesus Christ’s birth, death and ministry in Palestine that are recorded in the New Testament.

Dreamtime Stories
The Aborigines, like the Christians, had their own stories that explained the origin of the world, themselves and all that make up the world that provided Aboriginal people with a strong and close association with the land for thousands of years. These stories gave unity and purpose to Aboriginal societies in the past and are important today in maintaining their identity.
During the Dreaming, ancestral spirits came to earth and created the landforms, the animals and plants. The stories tell how the ancestral spirits moved through the land creating rivers, lakes and mountains. Today we know the places where the ancestral spirits have been and where they came to rest. There are explanations of how people came to Australia and the links between the groups throughout Australia. There are explanations about how people learnt languages and dance and how they came to know about fire.

A Moveable Feast With Fine Cooking
Duxbury, MA: Chefs Jeremy Sewall and Barton Seaver and Skip Bennett
In Duxbury, Mass., host Pete Evans is joined by chef Jeremy Sewall, sustainable-cooking expert Barton Seaver and Island Creek Oysters owner Skip Bennett. Included: foraging for oysters.
the oyster farm “it is one of the few animals we raised from egg to adulthood” reminds one that “some are born into it; some earn/learn/achieve/will/dream/drive/love it; some have it thrust upon” … and one could only be absolved of not trying/aiming/loving/driving for good/God, counting on God to provide the Good/Godliness/Godness/God “It’s up to God” in the case “some are borned into it” and “some have it thrust upon” otherwise one should earn/learn/achieve/will/dream/drive/love try for the good/godliness/god for “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” … and here is a good case of closing lose ends before they cause harms for example regarding to^nan encounter university of michigan newsletter returning to ann arbor from michigan and learned that one of the power family has committed suicide jumping off the bell tower and something makes him wonder about “matching” it as though there is a second voice/feeling beside his own voice/feeling because he does not know what does she has to do with him since up until then just before the year 2000 millenium celebration he is all alone by himself and all information and realization could only come via face to face and this appears to be one of those millenium celebration “pentecostal tongue” … dahlia white tongue got cleaned …
Some moms and babies pass the infection back and forth: Your baby can pass thrush on to you if you’re breastfeeding, resulting in a painful yeast infection on your nipples that will need a doctor’s treatment. And you can trigger a case of thrush in your baby if you’re breastfeeding and you develop a yeast infection on your nipples from taking antibiotics. On the other hand, some moms remain uninfected even while breastfeeding babies who have thrush — and some breastfed babies are not affected by their mother’s yeast infection.
How can I know for sure that it’s thrush?
If you think your baby has thrush, look for the characteristic white patches. Then gently touch a patch with a gauze-covered finger. If it is thrush, it probably won’t come off very easily, but if it does, you’ll find a raw, red area underneath that may bleed.
If you notice a white coating on your baby’s tongue but nowhere else, it’s probably just milk residue (especially if you can wipe it off). Thrush patches can appear on your baby’s tongue, but are most often found on the sides of the mouth. These spots can be painful — you may first suspect thrush if your baby starts crying when nursing or sucking on a pacifier or bottle.

see pbs movie “breathless” about “staying” … “staying constant not to mention staying forever young” can cause much jealousy … and related dangers due to misunderstanding [jealous ~ ty. ~ difference: difference means there is no common ground and when there is no common ground how can there be proper understanding: babylonia] among other things such as at the airport on the plane [young girl scarcely 5 years old with headphones on viewing captain hook movie behind mother, blond and bald couple conversed loudly the whole trip causing to^nan to use the touch sense monitor and causing red haired passenger in front of him to yell at him … which recall how in a dream to^nan punch the pillow when chu’ kha whose russia gave america alaska along with france louisiana proving it did not want to trample on native american indian even though russian might very well be original native american indian such as eskimo … was sleeping in neighboring room causing him to think how can any girl trust him to have baby with him sleeping in bed together if she knows he is violent so in sleep walking … and recall waking up thinking bed was moving to co^ be^ dave lowe’s in bathroom only to learn from television that it was an earthquake that cause no human damage only a liquor store broken bottles … recall ni su+ vie^n lu+o+ng taught to^nan the 10 commandments … similarly as she inspired to^nan to pray for “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” in her worship loft … university of michigan dormitory loft … that also serves as her bedroom … another passenger monitor shows start of movie august: osage county or some such by bob weinstein the husband was just handing over some book to the native american indian as though, for long after he and his wife is gone, returning her the essence of native american indian for her to resurrect/reincarnate: in an onion or zero-footprint world, one does not have to be physically absence from indian land in order to not trample on indian land in fact if one is not physically present on indian land one might very well be trampling on indian culture/mind …. one might be “flying” … which might be worse for the indians then to be on their land physically and not trampling their minds/cultures way of life: one notes that the water that is coursing through one’s blood is the same water that coursed through dinosaurs blood and water is like earth like land like indian land and that the water that is in one’s flesh/blood right now is not the same water that is in one’s flesh/blood when one was borned …. and that the redwood trees can circulate water for thousands of years … everything/everyone are but catalysts like the fragrance lotus in a mud pond untouched by the mud … thus, whether in brownian motion one is physically present on indian land or in skyway motion not physically present but “flying” influencing indian culture/life from a far via ta^m/trinity/conscience fractal/holographic “in the image” sort of way as long as one catalyzes “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live long and well” … and in an onion or zero-footprint universe “all roads lead to rome or to ‘muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live long and well'” which is the common the whole and therefore in time brownian motion with physical presence or skyway motion without physical presence from a far,

In ancient Egypt, the scarab (or dung beetle) was viewed as a sign of eternal renewal and reemergence of life, a reminder of the life to come. (See also “Atum” and “Ma’at.”)
The ancient Mayans and Aztecs also took a cyclical view of time.
In ancient Greece, the concept of eternal return was connected with Empedocles, Zeno of Citium, and most notably in Stoicism (see ekpyrosis).

Cartesian doubt is a form of methodological skepticism associated with the writings and methodology of René Descartes.[1][2] Cartesian doubt is also known as Cartesian skepticism, methodic doubt, methodological skepticism, or hyperbolic doubt.
Cartesian doubt is a systematic process of being skeptical about (or doubting) the truth of one’s beliefs, which has become a characteristic method in philosophy. This method of doubt was largely popularized in Western philosophy by René Descartes (1596-1650), who sought to doubt the truth of all his beliefs in order to determine which beliefs he could be certain were true.

“Just as if there were a pool of water in a mountain glen — clear, limpid, and unsullied — where a man with good eyes standing on the bank could see shells, gravel, and pebbles, and also shoals of fish swimming about and resting, and it would occur to him, ‘This pool of water is clear, limpid, and unsullied. Here are these shells, gravel, and pebbles, and also these shoals of fish swimming about and resting;’ so too, the monk discerns as it actually is, that ‘This is stress… This is the origin of stress… This is the stopping of stress… This is the way leading to the stopping of stress… These are mental effluents… This is the origin of mental effluents… This is the stopping of mental effluents… This is the way leading to the stopping of mental effluents.’ His heart, thus knowing, thus seeing, is released from the effluent of sensuality, released from the effluent of becoming, released from the effluent of unawareness. With release, there is the knowledge, ‘Released.’ He discerns that, ‘Birth is no more, the holy life is fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.’
“This, great king, is a reward of the contemplative life, visible here and now, more excellent than the previous ones and more sublime. And as for another visible reward of the contemplative life, higher and more sublime than this, there is none.”

the west has a long history of trying to separate/extract/abstract ideals from reality … “luke, let go {of your sensibilities/senses}: use the ‘force’ …”: at first sight/thought we observe how the planets revolves around the sun and we deduce that there must be a “crutch”, a ‘force’ or an action-at-a-distance ‘influence’ of some kind connecting the planets to the sun, but on second sight/thought we start to see/sense that the so-called ‘force’ or action-at-a-distance ‘influence’ are also themselves but “crutches” or “connectors” for something else even more fundamental … “the way” … “the TAO” … “the geodesics” …. etc. to name but a few of the suggested names used for this more fundamental thing … “crutchless thing” … c.f. previous notes on anh Vie^.t Du~ng of ASIA Entertainment and SBTN … well, phenonmenon such as pendulum waves would suggest that the “fundamental” or “crutchless” thing or “noumenon” that we search for is nothing more than the “average” … average of a standing wave for example … average of standing waves on a circle being the circle itself … c.f. illustration elsewhere in this note … and the standing wave or motion of things/planets/suns/etc. or motion or motion of the average is simply nothing more than Perpetual Motion that tries to maintain uniquenesses so that the universe has size/volume and is not reduced to a point singularity …
The noumenon /ˈnɒuːmɨnɒn/ is a posited object or event that is known (if at all) without the use of the senses.[1] The term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to “phenomenon”, which refers to anything that appears to, or is an object of, the senses. In Platonic philosophy, the noumenal realm was equated with the world of ideas known to the philosophical mind, in contrast to the phenomenal realm, which was equated with the world of sensory reality, known to the uneducated mind.[2] Much of modern philosophy has generally been skeptical of the possibility of knowledge independent of the senses, and Immanuel Kant gave this point of view its classical version, saying that the noumenal world may exist, but it is completely unknowable to humans. In Kantian philosophy the unknowable noumenon is often linked to the unknowable “thing-in-itself” (Ding an sich, which could also be rendered as “thing-as-such” or “thing per se”), although how to characterize the nature of the relationship is a question yet open to some controversy. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noumenon
Platonic idealism usually refers to Plato’s theory of forms or doctrine of ideas. Some commentators hold Plato argued that truth is an abstraction. In other words, we are urged to believe that Plato’s theory of ideas is an abstraction, divorced from the so-called external world, of modern European philosophy, despite the fact Plato taught that ideas are ultimately real, and different from non-ideal things—indeed, he argued for a distinction between the ideal and non-ideal realm.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_idealism
The salient element here is that space and time, rather than being real things-in-themselves or empirically mediated appearances (Ge: Erscheinungen), are the very forms of intuition (Ge: Anschauung) by which we must perceive objects. They are hence neither to be considered properties that we may attribute to objects in perceiving them, nor substantial entities of themselves. They are in that sense subjective, yet necessary, preconditions of any given object insofar as this object is an appearance and not a thing-in-itself. Humans necessarily perceive objects as located in space and in time. This condition of experience is part of what it means for a human to cognize an object, to perceive and understand it as something both spatial and temporal. “I understand by the transcendental idealism of all appearances the doctrine that they are all to be regarded as mere representations and not as things in themselves, and accordingly that space and time are only sensible forms of our intuition…”[3] Kant argues for these several claims in the section of the Critique of Pure Reason entitled the Transcendental Aesthetic. That section is devoted to the inquiry of the a priori conditions of human sensibility, i.e. the faculty by which humans intuit objects. The following section, the Transcendental Logic concerns itself with the manner in which objects are thought.

Cakes and Ale: or, the Skeleton in the Cupboard (1930) is a novel by British author W. Somerset Maugham. Maugham exposes the misguided social snobbery levelled at the character Rosie Driffield, whose frankness, honesty and sexual freedom make her a target of conservative propriety. Her character is treated favourably by the book’s narrator, Ashenden, who understands her sexual energy to be a muse to the many artists who surround her and who himself enjoyed her sexual favors.
might be viewed as a “positive” statement affirming eternal recurrence/return or re-incarnation-able/re-surrecition-able in the same “defiance” or “civil disobedience” stream of consciousness as
or tv’s dancing with the stars version of civil disobedience …
Maugham drew his title from the remark of Sir Toby Belch to Malvolio in William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night: “Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?” Cakes and ale are the emblems of the good life in the tagline to the fable attributed to Aesop, “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse”: “Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear”.

Sleep and Circadian Rhythms
Circadian rhythms are regular changes in mental and physical characteristics that occur in the course of a day (circadian is Latin for “around a day”). Most circadian rhythms are controlled by the body’s biological “clock.” This clock, called the suprachiasmatic nucleus or SCN (see figure 2 ), is actually a pair of pinhead-sized brain structures that together contain about 20,000 neurons. … human brain is ~ 100 billions neurons from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_by_number_of_neurons thus 20,000 is practically nothing and yet see 3 points determine circle sampling theorem in following notes … The SCN rests in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, just above the point where the optic nerves cross. Light that reaches photoreceptors in the retina (a tissue at the back of the eye) creates signals that travel along the optic nerve to the SCN.
… The SCN also governs functions that are synchronized with the sleep/wake cycle, including temperature, hormone secretion, urine production, and changes in blood pressure. … :

PROSPERO
(to FERDINAND) You do look, my son, in a moved sort,
As if you were dismayed. Be cheerful, sir.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve,
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vexed. ….. rounded ~ made conscientious …
Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled.
Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
If you be pleased, retire into my cell
And there repose. A turn or two I’ll walk
To still my beating mind.
FERDINAND, MIRANDA
We wish your peace.

j d salinger’s for esme with love and squalor: The story’s final, admittedly rather cryptic line, “You take a really sleepy man, Esmé, and he always stands a chance of again becoming a man with all his fac – with all his f-a-c-u-l-t-i-e-s intact” (163) refers to an earlier point in our tale. About midway through the story, as Esmé and the narrator (later known as Sergeant X) part ways at the tearoom, she gravely tells him that she hopes he makes it through the war “with all [his] faculties intact” (103).
Months later, after the war has ended, it turns out that Sergeant X didn’t in fact leave the front unscathed; when we meet him again, he’s on the brink of a nervous breakdown. However, one thing does bring him back from his depression – Esmé’s letter. Her serious, earnest, and unintentionally comical missive gives him a sense of relief, and he finally feels some release of the tension he’s been carrying around. For the first time in a long time, Sergeant X is able to let himself go a little, and finally feel healthily, productively sleepy. The story’s closing line is a final “Thank you” to Esmé herself for bringing the narrator back from the war in one piece (mentally, that is).

According to Naughty Boy … to^nan slapped his butt to translate the opposite of what mother was doing making a supplicant praying gesture while drinking in synchrony to ivonne talking about her boyfriend icy relationship and to^nan thought “oh my you sure dressed bare today ….” was di` ba co^ die^~m had a hoarse voice and went out driving to exercise with a hoarse voice leaving die^~m thi dahlia to to^nan and mother to babysit which cause a minor “scene” as tv’s entertainment today says later on 10/29/2014 at stoneridge mall as someone yelled “pervert” ~ “because of vertical/jealousy” …, “La La La” was conceived from experiences similar to the song “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt, which “came from something [he] felt”. He states that, “It was just before everything popped up and she was somebody I neglected while I was trying to find me. When I found me, she found it best to neglect me. It’s cool… Covering my ears like a kid and saying, ‘La. La. La.’ It’s the man-kid in me.”[5]
“La La La” was written by Khan, Jonny Coffer, Al-Hakam El Kaubaisy, Frobisher Mbabaz, James Murray, Jimmy Napes, Mustafa Omer, and Sam Smith.[6] Although Naughty Boy originally intended to write the song with Emeli Sandé, she was on tour at the time, and he wrote it with Sam Smith instead.
“La La La” is a single released by British producer Naughty Boy, featuring vocals from Sam Smith.
A music video to accompany the release of “La La La” was first released onto YouTube on 18 April 2013 at a total length of four minutes and three seconds.[12] The video is directed by Ian Pons Jewell (who studied at the University College for the Creative Arts, now the University for the Creative Arts[13]) and shot in 4 days[9] in La Paz, Salar de Uyuni and Potosí (Cerro Rico), Bolivia. Ian Pons Jewell was commissioned by Virgin EMI to create the concept for the video, which focuses on a child’s magical journey. Jewell said that others compared the video to the Wizard of Oz and a local legend of the demon El Tio and that both legends influenced the concept of the video,[14]

“violated the sanctity of the human heart/tim/time” is not forgiving but slapping your history upon neutral time/tim stream to remember as in christmas song “rudolph [hitler] the red nose reindeer you go down in history” e.g. replacing the roman’s naming of the years using name of caesars or consuls who held office those years with naming the years or the neutral time stream using jesus incarnations making the romans never forget the events surrounding jesus … forcing the roman heart to revolve around the event to never forget/forgive the even from then on … though supposedly “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” … any created existence including calendar are god’s creation with god’s neutral unconditional love or absolute zoroaster goodness so that one ought to be “born; earn/learn/will/love/imagine/aim/desire/wish/pray; thrust upon” “see/hear/say no evil” in such a creation … “a neutral time stream by any other name would smell as sweet” …. one ought to “see/hear/say no evil” in a … 11/4/2014 dolly parton island in the stream on tv with robin roberts 15 cma songs … Alexander Pope replacing/substituting for Caesars say “to err is human to forgive divine” … though of course it might be that not just romans but egyptians are also not “forgiven” because of a neutral having nothing to do with forgiveness/forgetting but with something akin to boredom ecclesiastical tradition “the sun sets and the sun also rises and there’s nothing new under the sun” which is supposedly mirrored by the saying blamed on the buddha “I am chief of the world,
Eldest am I in the world,
Foremost am I in the world.

The term Anno Domini is Medieval Latin, translated as In the year of the Lord,[1] and as in the Year of Our Lord.[2][3]:782 It is sometimes specified more fully as Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi (“In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ”). This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years from the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of the era. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC. This dating system was devised in 525, but was not widely used until after 800.[4] …
History[edit]
The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus to enumerate the years in his Easter table. His system was to replace the Diocletian era that had been used in an old Easter table because he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians.[14] The last year of the old table, Diocletian 247, was immediately followed by the first year of his table, AD 532. When he devised his table, Julian calendar years were identified by naming the consuls who held office that year—he himself stated that the “present year” was “the consulship of Probus Junior”, which was 525 years “since the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ”.[15] Thus Dionysius implied that Jesus’ Incarnation occurred 525 years earlier, without stating the specific year during which his birth or conception occurred. “However, nowhere in his exposition of his table does Dionysius relate his epoch to any other dating system, whether consulate, Olympiad, year of the world, or regnal year of Augustus; much less does he explain or justify the underlying date.”[16]:778
Blackburn & Holford-Strevens briefly present arguments for 2 BC, 1 BC, or AD 1 as the year Dionysius intended for the Nativity or Incarnation. Among the sources of confusion are:[16]:778–9
In modern times Incarnation is synonymous with the conception, but some ancient writers, such as Bede, considered Incarnation to be synonymous with the Nativity
The civil, or consular year began on 1 January but the Diocletian year began on 29 August
There were inaccuracies in the list of consuls
There were confused summations of emperors’ regnal years
Two major theories are that Dionysius based his calculation on the Gospel of Luke, which states that Jesus was “about thirty years old” shortly after “the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar”, and hence subtracted thirty years from that date, or that Dionysius counted back 532 years (the period during which the dates of Alexandrian Easter repeat) from the first year of his new table.[17]
It has also been speculated by Georges Declercq[18] that Dionysius’ desire to replace Diocletian years with a calendar based on the incarnation of Christ was to prevent people from believing the imminent end of the world. At the time it was believed that the Resurrection and end of the world would occur 500 years after the birth of Jesus. The old Anno Mundi calendar theoretically commenced with the creation of the world based on information in the Old Testament. It was believed that based on the Anno Mundi calendar Jesus was born in the year 5500 (or 5500 years after the world was created) with the year 6000 of the Anno Mundi calendar marking the end of the world.[19][20] Anno Mundi 6000 (approximately AD 500) was thus equated with the resurrection and the end of the world[21] but this date had already passed in the time of Dionysius.

The Byzantine calendar, also “Creation Era of Constantinople,” or “Era of the World” (Ancient Greek: Ἔτη Γενέσεως Κόσμου κατὰ Ῥωμαίους,[1] also Ἔτος Κτίσεως Κόσμου or Ἔτος Κόσμου) was the calendar used by the Eastern Orthodox Church from c. 691 to 1728 in the Ecumenical Patriarchate. It was also the official calendar of the Byzantine Empire[note 1] from 988 to 1453, and in Russia from c. 988 to 1700.
The calendar is based on the Julian calendar except that the year started on 1 September and the year number used an Anno Mundi epoch derived from the Septuagint version of the Bible. It placed the date of creation at 5509 years before the Incarnation, and was characterized by a certain tendency which had already been a tradition amongst Jews and early Christians to number the years from the foundation of the world. (Latin: ‘Annus Mundi’ or ‘Ab Origine Mundi’— AM).[note 2] Its year one, the supposed date of creation, was September 1, 5509 BC to August 31, 5508 BC.

The Buddhist Era was first introduced to Southeast Asia along with Buddhism in the early centuries CE. It was not a separate calendar but simply a year numbering system that employed the organization and calculation methods of the prevailing lunisolar calendars in use throughout the region. In the early centuries CE, the reference civil calendar of the Buddhist calendar prevalent in Southeast Asia was the Mahāsakaraj Era, which is said to have been adopted by the Pyu state of Sri Ksetra in 80 CE. The Mahāsakaraj Era was gradually replaced by the Burmese Era or Culāsakaraj, first in Myanmar in 640 CE,[17] and in other Theravada kingdoms of Southeast Asia between the 13th and 16th centuries.[note 3] Theravada Buddhist tradition also recognizes pre-Buddhist Anjana Sakaraj (Añjana’s Era) since the events of the Buddha’s life are recorded in that era.[3]

The tradition of using different reference calendars continued in Siam in 1912 when King Vajiravudh decreed that the Buddhist Era would now track the Thai solar calendar, the Siamese version of the Gregorian calendar with the New Year’s Day of 1 April. Therefore the Thai Buddhist Era year of 2455 began on 1 April 1912 (as opposed to 15 April 1912 according to the lunisolar calendar[18]). The Thai Buddhist Era was further realigned to the Gregorian calendar on 6 September 1940 when Prime Minister Phibunsongkhram decreed 1 January 1941 as the start of the year 2484 BE. As a result, the Year 2483 was only 9 months long, and the Thai Buddhist Era equals that of the Common Era plus 543 years.
Current usage[edit]
The lunisolar calendar is used to mark important Buddhist holidays. Many of the holidays are celebrated as public holidays.

Chinese calendar may refer to any of the official and civil calendars used in China and some neighbouring countries in different periods of history; however, the phrase is generally synonymous with Han calendar.
The official calendar in China today is the Gregorian calendar, which is a solar calendar. It is used for public and business affairs.
The civil calendar in much of China is the Han calendar, which is a lunisolar calendar. It is used for selecting the day of a wedding or funeral, for opening a venture, or a relocation. A similar calendar is used in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam for these purposes. Muslims living in Xinjiang, Ningxia and other parts of northern China use the Islamic calendar, which is a mean moon lunar calendar, as their civil calendar. The civil calendar for Tibet is the Tibetan calendar, which is a lunisolar calendar. The civil calendar for Miao is the Miao calendar, which is a solar calendar.
The Han calendar is a lunisolar calendar, which indicates both the moon phases and the solar terms. In Han calendar, a year usually begins on the second dark moon after the winter solstice but occasionally on the third dark moon after the winter solstice.
The year from January 31, 2014 to February 18, 2015 is a Wǔnián or Mǎnián (Year of the Horse).
After 1912, the Gregorian Calendar became official calendar, and no authority gave a name for Han calendar. People called Han calendar as the Former Calendar(traditional Chinese: 舊曆; simplified Chinese: 旧历; pinyin: Jìulì), the Traditional Calendar(traditional Chinese: 老曆; simplified Chinese: 老历; pinyin: Lǎolì), the Yin Calendar(traditional Chinese: 陰曆; simplified Chinese: 阴历; pinyin: Yīnlì), etc. In the public media, the Han calendar is usually referred as the Agricultural Calendar(traditional Chinese: 農曆; simplified Chinese: 农历; pinyin: Nónglì). In addition, some regions also call it as Xià Calendar(traditional Chinese: 夏曆; simplified Chinese: 夏历), for it originated from Xià Dynasty.
In January 1, 1912, nascent Republic of China adopted the Gregorian calendar for official business as Japan did during Meiji Restoration. But, the Gregorian calendar wasn’t completely official until 1929 for incessant fighting between warlords. The People’s Republic of China adopt the Gregorian calendar include year number since 1949.
The Han calendar remains culturally essential today. For example, most of the traditional festivals, such as Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, occur on new moons or full moons. The Han calendar, as an element of traditional culture, has much cultural and nationalistic sentiment invested in it. The Han calendar is still used in the more traditional Chinese households around the world to pick ‘auspicious dates’ for important events such as weddings, funerals, and business deals. A special calendar is used for this purpose, called the Imperial Calendar(traditional Chinese: 皇曆; simplified Chinese: 皇历; pinyin: huánglì), which contains auspicious activities, times, and directions for each day. The calendar follows the Gregorian dates but has the corresponding Chinese dates. Every date would have a comprehensive listing of astrological measurements and fortune elements.
Holidays according to Han calendar
In China, Korea, Vietnam, there’re many traditional festival is base on the Han calendar, such as New Year’s Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc.; and there’re some traditional festival basing on the solar terms, such as Winter Solstice Festival.
…
There’s a epoch for each version of Han Calendar, which is called as Lìyuán(traditional Chinese: 曆元; simplified Chinese: 历元). The epoch is optimal origin of the calendar, and it’s a Jiǎzǐrì, the first day of a lunar month, and the dark moon and solstice is just at the mid-night(Chinese: 日得甲子夜半朔旦冬至). And tracing back to a perfect day, such as that the day with magical star sign, there’s a supreme epoch(Chinese: 上元; pinyin: shàngyuán). The continuous year base on the supreme epoch is shàngyuán jīnián(traditional Chinese: 上元積年; simplified Chinese: 上元积年). More and more factors was added into the supreme epoch, and the shàngyuán jīnián became a huge number. So, the supreme epoch and shàngyuán jīnián was neglected from Shòushí calendar.
All Han calendar follows the frame of Tàichū calendar. The calendric epoch, the winter solstice of 105BC, may be regarded as the epoch of Han calendar. And it’s clear that it will be a neutral epoch.
The years before 105 BC, 105-Gōngyuán, such as: 2698 BC is 1594th year before the calendar
The year of 105 BC, 105-Gōngyuán, 105 BC is 0th year
The years form 104 BC to 1 BC, 105-Gōngyuán, Such as: 87 BC is 18th year
The years after 1 BC, Gōngyuán+104, such as: 2013 is 2117th year
…
In the 17th century, the Jesuits tried to determine what year should be considered the epoch of Han calendar. In his Sinicae historiae decas prima (first published in Munich in 1658), Martino Martini (1614–1661) dated the royal ascension of Huangdi to 2697 BC, but started the Chinese calendar with the reign of Fu Xi, which he claimed started in 2952 BC. Philippe Couplet’s (1623–1693) Chronological table of Chinese monarchs (Tabula chronologica monarchiae sinicae; 1686) also gave the same date for the Yellow Emperor. The Jesuits’ dates provoked great interest in Europe, where they were used for comparisons with Biblical chronology. Modern Chinese chronology has generally accepted Martini’s dates, except that it usually places the reign of Huangdi in 2698 BC and omits Huangdi’s predecessors Fu Xi and Shennong, who are considered “too legendary to include”.
Starting in 1903, radical publications started using the projected date of birth of the Yellow Emperor as the first year of Han calendar. Different newspapers and magazines proposed different dates. Jiangsu, for example, counted 1905 as year 4396 (use an epoch of 2491 BC), whereas the Minbao (traditional Chinese: 明報; simplified Chinese: 明报, the organ of the Tongmenghui) reckoned 1905 as 4603 (use an epoch of 2698 BC). Liu Shipei (劉師培; 1884–1919) created the Yellow Emperor Calendar, now often used to calculate the date, to show the unbroken continuity of the Han race and Han culture from earliest times. Liu’s calendar started with the birth of the Yellow Emperor, which he determined to be 2711 BC. There is no evidence that this calendar was used before the 20th century.[9] Liu calculated that the 1900 international expedition sent by eight foreign powers to suppress the Boxer Uprising entered Beijing in the 4611th year of the Yellow Emperor.
At January 2, 1912, Sun Yat-sen declared that the Republic of China adopt the Gregorian calendar, and establish Shíyīyuè 13th 4609 of Huángdì Era as the new year’s day of the first year of the Republic of China (traditional Chinese: 中華民國改用陽曆，以黄帝紀元四千六百零九年十一月十三日爲中華民國元年元旦; simplified Chinese: 中华民国改用阳历，以黄帝纪元四千六百零九年十一月十三日为中华民国元年元旦). Sun Yat-sen’s choice, which implied an epoch of 2698 BC, was adopted by many overseas Chinese communities outside Southeast Asia such as San Francisco’s Chinatown.[10]
Sun Yat-sen’s version
Years before 2698 BC not mentioned
Years before 1 AD HE=2699-CE
Years after 1 BC HE=2698+CE such as 1912+2698=4610, the year after spring festival of 1912 CE is 4610 HE

fyodor dostoeyvsky’s brothers karamazov’ grand inquisitor promethean jesus christ bringing fire … c.f. erte … or civil disobedience to mankind versus leaving mankind alone with cake and ale dream …
The tale is told by Ivan with brief interruptive questions by Alyosha. In the tale, Christ comes back to Earth in Seville at the time of the Inquisition. He performs a number of miracles (echoing miracles from the Gospels). The people recognize him and adore him, but he is arrested by Inquisition leaders and sentenced to be burnt to death the next day. The Grand Inquisitor visits him in his cell to tell him that the Church no longer needs him. The main portion of the text is devoted to the Inquisitor explaining to Jesus why his return would interfere with the mission of the Church.
The Inquisitor frames his denunciation of Jesus around the three questions that Satan asked Jesus during the temptation of Christ in the desert. These three are the temptation to turn stones into bread, the temptation to cast Himself from the Temple and be saved by the angels, and the temptation to rule over all the kingdoms of the world. The Inquisitor states that Jesus rejected these three temptations in favor of freedom, but the Inquisitor thinks that Jesus has misjudged human nature. He does not believe that the vast majority of humanity can handle the freedom which Jesus has given them. The Inquisitor thus implies that Jesus, in giving humans freedom to choose, has excluded the majority of humanity from redemption and doomed it to suffer.
Despite declaring the Inquisitor to be an atheist, Ivan also has the Inquisitor saying that the Catholic Church follows “the wise spirit, the dread spirit of death and destruction”, i.e., Satan. He says: “We are not with Thee, but with him, and that is our secret! For centuries have we abandoned Thee to follow him”. For he, through compulsion, provided the tools to end all human suffering and for humanity to unite under the banner of the Church. The multitude then is guided through the Church by the few who are strong enough to take on the burden of freedom. The Inquisitor says that under him, all mankind will live and die happily in ignorance. Though he leads them only to “death and destruction”, they will be happy along the way. The Inquisitor will be a self-martyr, spending his life to keep choice from humanity. He states that “anyone who can appease a man’s conscience can take his freedom away from him”.
The Inquisitor advances this argument by explaining why Christ was wrong to reject each temptation by Satan. Christ should have turned stones into bread, as men will always follow those who will feed their bellies. The Inquisitor recalls how Christ rejected this, saying “man cannot live on bread alone”, and explains to Christ: “Feed men, and then ask of them virtue! That’s what they’ll write on the banner they’ll raise against Thee and with which they will destroy Thy temple. Where Thy temple stood will rise a new building; the terrible tower of Babel will be built again, and though, like the one of old, it will not be finished”. Casting himself down from the temple to be caught by angels would cement his godhood in the minds of people, who would follow him forever. Ruling over all the kingdoms of the Earth would ensure their salvation, the Grand Inquisitor claims.

imagine instead of “eating”, one steps into some sort of “transporter” that works via “tunneling” and be “transported” or “transformed” into one’s own self with a different weight [which weight characterizes one’s own self at a different space-time point in the space-time continuum] as though one has gained the weight via eating without having to eat anything! ….

Another traditional program involves land application of the district’s biosolids to a 55-acre former military site next door to the treatment plant. The site includes a wildflower meadow that also serves as a nesting ground for migrating Canada geese.

The Cao Đài Religion’s (or Caodaism’s) official name is Đại Đạo Tam Kỳ Phổ Độ. Translated directly it means: The Third Great Universal Religious Amnesty. (Đại Đạo – “Great Faith”, Tam Kỳ – “Third Period”, Phổ -“to announce” and Độ – “to save”). It will be a period of intense religious activity that will see God and Humanity united in ways not yet imagined. The Third Amnesty establishes a new Great Faith for salvation of living beings before the universal destruction. The primary objective of the Third Amnesty is the unity of all religions, which will bring mankind together in a universal family for universal peace.[11]
Throughout human history, God the Father has revealed His Truth many times. His Divine Messages have been translated through the mouths of many great prophets, but always these messages were either ignored or forgotten due to human’s susceptibility to secular desires. The Age has now come where He speaks to humanity directly.
The previous two Religious Amnesties saw the rise of Hinduism, Judaism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam, etc. Caodaism as the embodiment of The Third Amnesty comes to unite the traditions of these Two Periods. It does so guided directly by Đức Cao Đài (God the Father) and the Divine Beings.
One of the early messages received from Him went as follows, “Formerly people of the world lacked means of transportation; therefore they did not know each other… Nowadays, all parts of the world are explored: humanity, knowing itself better aspires to real peace. But because of the very multiplicity of religions, humanity does not always live in harmony. That is why I decided to unite all these religions into One to bring them back to the primordial unity.” [12]

In the nineteenth century Spiritism re-awoke the religious life of Europe. Great souls such as Madam Blavatsky, Alan Kardec and Victor Hugo opened new vistas of religious possibility. In Vietnam the age-old traditions of Asian divination and Taoist mediumship began to mix with the new traditions of European Spiritism. This meeting of Eastern and Western traditions caused an evolutionary leap in humanity’s spiritual quest. Thus a strong communication link was established between Heaven and Earth. It was through this special link that God granted His Third Amnesty directly. Though it was announced to the humble and grateful nation of Vietnam, The Third Amnesty is a gift to all.
Emphasising this objective of unity, inside every Cao Đài Temple, is a representation of the Divine Contract of The Third Amnesty (The Third Alliance). This contract between Heaven and Earth is written and presented to humanity by the Venerable Saints, Victor Hugo, Sun Yat Sen and Trạng Trình Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm. Their mission is to guide humanity into the way of the Third Amnesty. The contract is written in French: Dieu et Humanité Amour et Justice; and in Chinese: Tian Shang Tian Xia Bo Ai Gong Ping. This translates into English as: “God and Humanity [for] Love and Justice.”[11]
As mentioned in the Bible, Maitreya Bodhisattva will be enthroned the next Pope of Cao Đài, after He reaches enlightenment to become a Buddha[citation needed]. Maitreya Buddha together with His newly select congregation will fulfill the mission of uniting the world religions. Then, He will hold the Dragon Flower Festival where faithful souls are evaluated for the ranks of Angels, Saints, Immortals an Buddhas based on their virtues, and good deeds.
The doctrines of the Cao Đài faith tends not only to reconcile all religious views, but also to adapt itself to all degrees of spiritual evolution. A basic principle of Caodaism is “All Religions are One”.
1.From a moral point of view, Cao Đài Religion reminds people of their duties towards themselves, their family, their society (a broader family), then toward humanity (the universal family).
2.From a philosophical point of view, Cao Đài Religion preaches renunciation of honors, riches and luxury, in other words, deliverance from servitude to materialism in the attainment of full spiritual quietude of soul.
3.From the point of view of worship, Cao Đài Religion prescribes the adoration of God, the veneration of Divine Beings and the worship of ancestors.
4.From a spiritual point of view, Cao Đài Religion confirms, in harmony with other religions, the existence of the spirits and the soul, their survival beyond the physical body, and their evolution by successive reincarnations, according to the Karmic Law.
5.From the initiates’ point of view, Cao Đài Religion communicates to worthy adherents and reveals teachings that enable them, by a process of spiritual evolution, to reach the ecstasies of happiness

Here, Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”:
Both Sides Now
by Joni Mitchell
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
child suggestive of co^ va^n ca^.u nghie^m on plane home to michigan from california with headphones on watching captain hook … and young native american indian mexican girl at opening scene of bob weinstein movie august: osage county …
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev’ry fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
