Stoicism 101 Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that emphasizes virtue, reason and living in accordance with nature.  It teaches that individuals can control their reactions to external events, but not the events themselves, and should focus on cultivating inner resilience and wisdom.  Stoics believe that by practicing virtue, such as courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom, one can achieve a state of tranquility and happiness, regardless of external circumstances.   Here's a more detailed explanation: Core Principles: Virtue as the Only Good: Stoicism posits that virtue is the only true good, and all other external factors like wealth, health, or reputation are indifferent, neither good nor bad.   Living in Accordance with Nature: This principle involves understanding and accepting the natural order of the universe and one's place within it.  It includes accepting what is within one's control (one's thoughts and actions) and what is not (external events a...

Adams Magic Poker When I was 8 years old my grandfather on my father's side passed away. The second night after he died he appeared to me in a dream standing before a green chalkboard. It was the same green chalkboard that my father used while he was attending night school at at a junior college to learn requirements in the field of communications such as AM, FM and microwave formulations and electronic circuity and things of that nature. It was located on a wall in my parent's bedroom and it was the same chalkboard that my Dad used to teach me about basic electronic circuits and how to convert direct current into alternating current when I was in second grade. What impressed me about my grandfather in the dream was how happy that he was. He was full of happiness and joy and he was exceedingly gleeful. He seemed to barely be able to contain himself. What he proceeded to do was to explain to me the particulars of matters pertaining to life and death. What seemed to characterize ...

Bride Of Apollo The stories of Greek gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters, were not created by a single individual but evolved over centuries through a rich oral tradition.  While Homer and Hesiod  are credited with writing down some of the earliest versions in the 8th century BC, the myths themselves were likely circulating long before then.  These stories were shared and adapted through storytelling, poetry, and song, eventually being written down in works like Homer's Illiad and Odyssey and Hesiod's Theogony.   Here's a more detailed explanation: Oral Tradition: The Greek myths were initially passed down through generations via storytelling, songs, and poetry before being written down.   Homer and Hesiod: These two poets are credited with writing down some of the earliest known versions of these myths, with Homer's epics (Iliad and Odyssey) and Hesiod's Theogony providing foundational texts.   Evolving Narratives: The stories ...

Harmala Alkaloids And Penuel From an email to my cousin. I don't know if I ever told you about what happened to me in 1986 when I was in the hospital with a post operative bacterial spinal infection. The infection happened after a lumbar laminectomy at L 4/5(left side). I was wanting Jacob's blessing and I had figured out that, if according to the esoteric Bible dictionary by anonymous, that Jacob's ladder was the spinal column, the place called Penuel where he got his blessing might be the pineal gland.  According to Peter Stafford's psychedelics encyclopedia, harmala alkaloids are produced by the pineal gland and they can be secreted onto the pituitary gland producing the most powerful mystical experiences known to man. It's a post pubescent(usually male) glandular development. Ancient cultures, it was explained, referred to this as "The marriage of the sun and the moon". So I sat on the edge of my hospital bed and pressed my thumbs and index fingers tog...
