Об одном открытии в науке, сделанном хасидом Шломо
A female gunslinger returns to her hometown to claim her inheritance and get justice for her father’s wrongful death, but crashes into a statute of limitations.
“No little girl should have to see her daddy hanged.” The words slid under the high-pitched wails of the condemned man’s daughter and widow. Harriet didn’t know who said them and didn’t care, even though she empathized with the towheaded child. “Reminds me of the time Angus McGraw was hung for cattle rustlin’,” the same man commented to the person standing next to him. “Who?” “That were ’bout fifteen, mebbe twenty, years past.” It was twelve years ago, Harriet silen...
A look into the psychological individuation process as described by Jung via the medium of fantasy. How to navigate the maze of projections to overcome fear.
She heard the fly buzzing right beside her, only millimetres away from her left ear, but before she could turn to catch it, it flew into the mirror through to the other side and sat down on the shoulder of her now rapidly dissipating reflection. With this, all the mirrors in the castle began to crack. Marjorie cowered and covered her head with her arms. The castle was being destroyed. Thousands of shards fell to the floor amidst this play of colour, and something caug...
From the time of His birth to the Cross at Calvary, Mary witnessed and was the first disciple of our Lord.
Pope Pius IX once said, “God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation.” The Mary moments in the New Testament point to Jesus each and every time. Her song, her encounter with Jesus in the temple, her intervention at the wedding at Cana and her standing at the cross lead us back to Jesus, His mission and our salvation. Her life was to witness to the glory...
The title is quite self-explanatory. A quick-witted, poetic read for those of like minds. Beware, some may find the content wherein offensive.

"Hard working people from all walks of life who have never been truly safe in their unrelenting efforts to support themselves. Always being at the mercy of circumstance. Whether it be that the company or department no longer needs them or the workplace is affected by some catastrophe or another. It could also simply come down to health issues, be they personal or of someone in your family. Then it wouldn’t matter how much effort you had put into your profession or how go...
C’est un livre qui va provoquer des chocs. L’autisme, quand on est adulte, ça se caractérise surtout par des capacités en dents de scie, j’en parlerai abondamment dans ce livre. L’autiste au naturel, c’est une personne tout en extrêmes et très peu en nuances. Bien sûr, avec les années, on essaie de se nuancer... Il ne faut pas oublier que l’adulte autiste est un humain, qui a vécu des expériences de vie uniques et qui a fait des apprentissages.
La perception qu’à du monde une personne autiste est unique. L’autiste perçoit des choses que les autres autour de lui sont incapables de percevoir ou d’interpréter. Par contre, certaines choses qui semblent évidentes aux autres peuvent lui être imperceptibles ou impossibles à interpréter. Il est probablement impossible pour une personne neurotypique d’imaginer à quel point nos perceptions sont différentes. L’autiste perçoit tout jusque dans les moindres détails et il ...
The journey of an individual - from being an ordinary Second Division Clerk during the Second World War, to the status of Assistant Controller of Defence Accounts - over forty long years of service in the Indian Government.
Groundnuts are, no doubt, good catalysts either for making good use of time or ... well, wasting it!
If Man is to survive on this earth The only way left is social distancing! Practice keeping distance, one another! Impractical it is the idea of prayers!
Say, what’s the use in the construction of The places of worship, other than that of Attracting Man fool more and more And to make and keep Him blind, forever!
This is a book about my training to become a teacher of Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) under the guidance of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. My journey to become a TM teacher began even before I was initiated into the practice of Transcendental Meditation. It happened quite spontaneously while I was attending an introductory lecture by the Maharishi at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Something just clicked; a heartfelt connection had occurred during Maharis...
CHAPTER TEN: Swami Lakshmanjoo, Master of Nature ...After a few hours, Lakshmanjoo arrived by shikara to join in the lecturing. He and Maharishi lectured for two more hours, which exceeded my attention span. I do not remember what was discussed. However, I will never forget when the topic shifted to a discussion of siddhis and Maharishi said, “Lakshmanjoo is a master of nature. He has the ability to make it rain. Do you want to see it rain?” Maharishi turned to Lakshma...

Monday 1st March 1970 After finally getting all the sails back, window replaced and everything in working order and all previous cargoes sold off, funds available, we were ready to sail to Gibraltar, with one ‘paying’ passenger, Anita, a quite attractive lady, Ralph’s wife, aged about 50, who had a flat in Estepona and where Nikki sometimes went for a bath and have her hair done. ( I can’t remember If I ever went there, but it wasn’t far from Ralph’s bar, where I’d firs...
I am a Western yogi from Brooklyn. In writing this book I gleaned through notes and memories of numerous experiences spanning over fifty years. I selected those that are the most interesting and important. I hope that you will enjoy reading about my extraordinary spiritual journey. Little has been written about the experiences that yogis have had on their path of spiritual awakening. By writing this book I have filled that gap. I have nothing to prove to anyone. I on...
CHAPTER 6 The Awakening …In addition to gaining intellectual knowledge, two weeks into the course I had a profound awakening. I was seated at the head of my bed. My back was cushioned by a large pillow that was between me and the headboard. About a half an hour into my meditation a heavy feeling came over me. My body felt lethargic, but my mind was alert. I felt the need to rest, so I slipped down to the center of the bed and lay on my back in a prone position. No so...
Only social distancing the solution.

Η αντιστήριξη ή υποστύλωση μίας κατασκευής ή τμημάτων αυτής τα οποία έχουν υποστεί βλάβες λόγω ενός σεισμού ή οποιαδήποτε άλλης φυσικής ή ανθρωπογενούς αιτίας, είναι μία πολύπλοκή και πολυπαραγοντική διαδικασία που χρειάζεται μεγάλη προσοχή και εμπειρία, ενώ απαιτεί εξειδικευμένη γνώση των μηχανισμών αστοχίας αλλά και της στατικής συμπεριφοράς μίας κατασκευής. Η υποστύλωση ενός μικρού ανοίγματος, το οποίο μας εξασφαλίζει πρόσβαση σε εγκλωβισμένους, η υποστύλωση μιας πλάκ...
The universe is not a world of separate things and events but is a cosmos that is connected, coherent, and bears a profound resemblance to the visions held in the earliest spiritual traditions in which the physical world and spiritual experience were both aspects of the same reality and man and the universe were one. The findings that justify this new vision of the underlying logic of the universe come from almost all of the empirical sciences: physics, cosmology, the li...
