Thanks for posting that, ama. I read all the Mishima quotations at the link and especially liked these:

"The purest evil that human efforts could attain, in other words, was probably achieved by those men who made their wills the same and who made their eyes see the world in the same way, men who went against the pattern of life's diversity, men whose spirits shattered the natural wall of the individual body, making nothing of this barrier, set up to guard against mutual corrosion, men whose spirit accomplished what flesh could never accomplish."


"Words are a medium that reduces reality to abstraction for transmission to our reason, and in their power to corrode reality inevitably lurks the danger that the words will be corroded too. It might be more appropriate, in fact, to liken their action to excessive stomach fluids that digest and gradually eat away the stomach itself.
Many people will express disbelief that such a process could already be at work in a person's earliest years. But that, beyond doubt, is what happened to me personally, thereby laying the ground for two contradictory tendencies within myself. One was the determination to press ahead loyally with the corrosive function of words, and to make that my life's work. The other was the desire to encounter reality in some field where words should play no part at all."


"Only through the group, I realised — through sharing the suffering of the group — could the body reach that height of existence that the individual alone could never attain. And for the body to reach that level at which the divine might be glimpsed, a dissolution of individuality was necessary. The tragic quality of the group was also necessary, the quality that constantly raised the group out of the abandon and torpor into which it was prone to lapse, leading it to an ever-mounting shared suffering and so to death, which was the ultimate suffering. The group must be open to death — which meant, of course, that it must be a community of warriors."


And this written about him:

"Let us remember that the central reality must be sought in the writer's work: it is what the writer chose to write, or was compelled to write, that finally matters. And certainly Mishima's carefully premeditated death is part of his work."
Marguerite Yourcenar in Mishima: A Vision of the Void (1985)

Quinta da Regaleira-Sintra ~ Portugal

An underground tunnel with a spiral staircase, supported by carved columns, down to the bottom of the well through nine landings. The nine hole round landings, separated by fifteen steps, evoke references to Dante's Divine Comedy, and may represent the nine circles of hell, paradise, or purgatory.

The well is connected to laberíticas caves that lead to a spooky garden surrounded by a lake.

The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners through time. But in 1892 it belonged to the Barons of Regaleira, a family of rich merchants from Porto, when it was purchased that year by Carvalho Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro wished to build a bewildering place where he could gather symbols that would reflect his interests and ideologies. With the assistance of the Italian architect Luigi Manini, he designed the 4-hectare estate with its enigmatic buildings, believed to hide symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The architecture of the estate evokes Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architectural styles. The construction of the current estate commenced in 1904 and most of it was concluded by 1910.

Dolphins appear to do nonlinear mathematics
http://tinyurl.com/764r3sm

The math involved is complex. Essentially it relies upon sending out pulses that vary in amplitude. The first may have a value of 1, while the second is one-third that amplitude.

"So, provided the dolphin remembers what the ratios of the two pulses were, and can multiply the second echo by that and add the echoes together, it can make the fish 'visible' to its sonar," Leighton told Discovery News. "This is detection enhancement."

But that's not all. There must be a second stage to the hunt.

The elephant was actually created in 2007 for the Machines project’s inauguration, and it has been on display – and available for impressive rides – since then. The robot can carry up to 49 passengers on a 45-minute walk.

NASA comment - There is an energy field at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy that’s described as a ribbon. "This is a shocking new result for us and one that is not entirely understood," said David McComas, the lead scientist on a NASA mission called IBEX.

Pane Andov "AstralWalker" believes a mega event will take place at the end of year 2012 and beginning of the 2013. He explains that thousands of years ago from the galactic centre of the Milky Way, there was a powerful release of an enormous amount of energy, which like a huge, shining, circular wave is spreading across the galaxy from its centre to its edges.

The released energetic pulse is already affecting the whole galaxy including the little dot we call our solar system. Very soon it will reach us and hit us with full strength. He explains what kind of implications this spreading wave of energy will have on our solar system, especially to our star and our planet and how it will affect the DNA of life.

"Scientific evidence has concluded that since 2006, we have entered into a new energy field which can literally change our DNA. As more and more of these new energies enter our solar system and our atmosphere, we will continue to see changes within our DNA." ~ Gregg Prescott

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.

Spontaneous evolution has occurred in history at specific increments in time. What causes these changes? How do these changes affect us on a cellular level? What is happening to our DNA right NOW?

The Void is Infinite Potential.

Before time, before space, before anything, there was nothing. An emptiness pregnant with the very essence of everything, for everything emerged from it. Undefinable, unlimited, unbounded, and composed of the Mystery itself, the Real Zero can not be conceived, as it is primary to the act of conception.

This is the Divine Womb, the Sacred Circle, the Sacred Mother of All.


Eternity is Unity.

Infinite potential is made manifest in itself, but is still Infinite. There is no separation between the zero and the one, because the moment you are conscious of the nothing, it is now something. The nothing and the everything are the same, as neither can exist without each other. There is no division in the Infinite; no time passes in the Eternal. The Real One cannot be defined, as it is primary to the act of definition.

This is the Divine Gift, the Creator, the Sacred Father of All.

'My life is committed to making artwork that wakes people up to the miracle of life. The value of being human, and the transformative power of love. There are moments when we see behind the opaque curtain of life. When the infinite one shines through the skin of the beloved and we recognize the game we are in, the journey we are on, the powerful beings that we are, and the truth that is worth living for.'
- Alex Grey

This week the Code::

Victory
How often did you tell yourself: I was almost there. You had the answers, the puzzle was complete and all of your hopes and desires were tuned into that one important moment. Everything was right, until the moment of truth itself. You had to take charge, but you didn’t. Something was holding you back to finish it, to seal the deal, but at the most crucial moment you saw yourself fail.
We all recognise it, but what distinguishes us is the way we handle it. Please realise that winning and losing are two sides of the same coin and you determine which side you are focusing on. It takes perseverance to achieve something, but at least as much courage to get back on your feet again after a setback. So please realise that no one fails as long as he learns the lesson from his experience. Be proud of yourself and feel your strength! Be proud of the fact that you have tried it and convince yourself that the next time you will succeed. The frequency of Victory gives you the strength to believe in yourself during important moments.

We wish you a wonderful week!


Elke week staat er een andere Janosh Frequentie centraal. Deze frequentie is ook te downloaden als bureaubladachtergrond via http://www.janosh.com/nl/free/desktop

Deze week de Code::

Overwinning
Hoe vaak zeg je niet tegen jezelf: ik was er bijna. Je had het antwoord, de puzzel compleet gelegd en al je hoop en verlangen afgestemd op dat ene belangrijke moment. Alles klopte, totdat het moment van de waarheid zich aandiende. Toen moest je er staan, maar was je er niet. Iets hield je tegen om het af te maken, om je belofte te verzegelen, maar op het meest cruciale moment zag je jezelf falen. We kennen het allemaal, maar wat ons onderscheidt is de manier waarop we ermee omgaan. Weet dat winnen en verliezen twee kanten van dezelfde medaille zijn en dat jij bepaalt waar jouw aandacht naar uit gaat. Het vergt doorzettingsvermogen om iets te bereiken, maar minstens zoveel moed om na een tegenslag weer op te staan. Besef je dus dat niemand faalt als hij de les uit zijn ervaring haalt. Klop jezelf op de borst en voel je kracht! Wees trots op het feit dat je het geprobeerd hebt en overtuig jezelf ervan dat het je de volgende keer gaat lukken. De frequentie van Overwinning geeft je kracht om op belangrijke momenten in jezelf te geloven.

We wensen je een mooie week!

According to spiritual theory of genes there may be 12 to 16 strands of spiritual DNA. The 12 strands may be both genetic and spiritual strands associated with the number 6 which occurs in nature as an ideal number. There are 3 corners on a triangle or tetrahedral pyramid and two triangles or tetrahedral pyramids in opposite directions make 6 corners. With each of the 6 corners there are then associated two strands of DNA which makes 12. In a true quadrahedron triangle there are 4 corners which makes 8 corners for two quadrahedron triangles and 16 DNA strands. The DNA strands may also be associated with a sphere, whereby there are 12 strands symmetrically located in a circle in the center of the sphere, and all of the DNA strands are connected by sphere energy grid lines much like in the world grid or gravity energy grid. It is said in myths that human beings once had 12 strands of DNA hundreds of thousands of years ago, and that the DNA was lost due to genetic experimentation or due to changes in the environment and body. Often the 12 strands of DNA are more associated with higher beings, higher dimensions, and the spirit." by Unknown Author
