|The Tetractys as a Developmental Model
The immensely influential philosopher-mathematician, mystic and sage, Pythagoras, believed that numbers were qualities that described not only the nature of the universe but also the nature of any system, including the human being. The mathematical model devised by Pythagoras is known as the Tetractys, one of the most deceptively simple and yet profound models that exists in the western tradition. The Tetractys is a rich, many-layered symbol with a rich flow of meanings, relationships and correspondences. Simply expressed, the Pythagoreans believed that the nature of all things could be understood and described according to the powers of the one, the two, the three and the four as an unfolding sequence of creation. These numbers are not simply quantitative, but are also archetypes of number, with 'oneness', 'twoness', 'threeness' and 'fourness' being understood as wholes or unities in themselves, each with their own qualitative meaning.
The astrological chart is an exact representation of the Tetractys, being itself a unity, with each of the twelve signs of the zodiac being simultaneously polar (active or passive), modal (cardinal, fixed or mutable) and elemental (fire, earth, air, water). The number twelve is a remarkably complete number in which the polarity is repeated six times, the modes are repeated four times and the elements are repeated three times.
The Tetractys provides a useful model for the process of psychological development, which is remarkably similar to the various stages or processes recognised by the alchemists. Broadly speaking, the task is twofold. The initial task is to identify and differentiate each of the different levels since, as the alchemists repeatedly stated, 'only separated things can unite'. Once the process of separation and differentiation has been achieved, the remaining task is to integrate all the different levels into a conscious unity and wholeness.

22-year-old summoned inner 'superwoman' to escape submerged car after being forced off bridge
By KATIE FITZPATRICK
Staff writer
Morgan Lake survived falling 35 feet from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into the water Friday because she found the "superwoman inside" of her, which she said gave her the strength to fight for her life.
"I've been saying that everyone has their own superman or superwoman in them, and mine definitely came out full force because I wasn't going to go out that way," Lake, 22, said. "That wasn't my fault, I didn't ask for that, and I wasn't going to let that take me down so easily."
Just after passing through the toll booths at about 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 19, Lake was driving a 2007 Chrysler Sebring east across the bridge on her way to Philadelphia, when her car was hit by a tractor trailer, according to Maryland Transportation Authority Police. The truck was driven by Gabor Lovasz of Charlottetown, Canada, who was not injured in the accident.
The truck also hit a 2014 Mazda, driven by Herbert A. Sutcliffe Jr., of Olney. Sutcliffe and a passenger in his vehicle were not injured, police said.
"Traffic was at a stop on the Bay Bridge. … I look in my rearview mirror and I see this huge red and silver 18-wheeler coming full force," Lake said during an interview Monday afternoon in her Dunkirk home.
Lake said she blinked once, and "by the second blink, I was thinking to myself, 'Is he going to slow down?' And by the third blink, he hit me."
Lake said, "Everything in my car exploded." Her airbags deployed and her windows and windshield shattered. Her car went up on two wheels, straddled the jersey wall of the bridge and slid for several feet, she said. During this time, Lake said she was thinking, "If I could just stay on this bridge" she would be OK.
"But when that suddenly changed, I instantly went into panic mode. I freaked out," Lake said, adding that her car's 35-foot drop from the bridge to the water felt like a drop on a roller coaster ride.
Lake said she saw the water approaching and screamed. When she hit the water, her mouth was open and "got full of water." She said she remembers thinking, "Oh my God, am I going to die?" Lake's seat belt was locked, and she said her frantic struggles only made things worse.
"All of the sudden, I said, 'I don't want to die,'" she said, adding that she had to force herself to calm down and to stop pulling against the locked seat belt.
"I didn't like the drowning sensation; I didn't like feeling helpless."
Lake said she believes the car sank about 12 feet when she decided she "didn't want to go out that way." With her right hand, Lake released the seat belt from its lock, maneuvered her body through the broken driver's side window and used her feet to push herself off the door toward the surface.
"Everyone has their own superwoman or superman; they have that strength in them," she said. "You just gotta fight for it and not give up. It's easy to give up, and I could have — I almost did. But I didn't like the sensation of drowning. It's scary [and] it hurt."
When she surfaced, she "took some really big deep breaths" and then swam toward nearby rocks, where she stayed for about 45 minutes until she was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. She said as she was waiting, a man on a boat stayed with her to make sure she was all right, but he could not get close enough to the rocks to pull her aboard.
"The God in me just gave me adrenaline, and my survivor instinct skills just kicked in," Lake said.
When she looked up, Lake said, there were dozens of people on the bridge. She said she yelled out to them to call her mother, Melani Lake.
Melani Lake said she received a phone call from a bystander, "who must have been a parent, because he never let on that the accident she was in was anything near what he witnessed." She said initially she thought she was just going to get to the bridge and give her daughter a ride because her car was being towed, and had no idea how severe the accident was until she got to the hospital.
"I knew it was bad because I was stuck in the traffic and I saw the Medivacs … but I didn't know she went over the bridge," she said.
Morgan Lake was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma in Baltimore and was released Sunday after being treated for her injuries, police said.
Paramedics originally thought she had a broken femur and a broken arm, and that "something was wrong" near her abdomen, Morgan Lake said, but she ultimately had no broken bones. On Tuesday, she was using a walker and was still recovering from several cuts and bruises she received in the accident.
The first time Morgan Lake saw her mother after the accident was at the hospital, and she said she immediately felt relieved.
"That's all I wanted from the get-go, was my mom," Morgan Lake said. "I had a necklace she had given me and I just held onto it and said, 'Thank God.'"
Melani Lake said she "still has goose bumps hearing the ordeal," but is "thankful to God" her daughter is alive.
"My prayers are answered for a lifetime," she said.
Morgan Lake, a College of Southern Maryland student who plans to earn a degree in communications with the hope of one day becoming a reporter for a television news station, said she has played a variety of sports throughout her life and is currently a coach with the Maryland Twisters, an all-star cheerleading team. She said she believes that because she was "never a couch potato" and has remained athletic throughout her life she had the necessary strength to survive the crash and swim to safety.
Her mother agreed, stating her daughter was always fearless, even as a child. Melani Lake said when they lived in the Chesapeake Ranch Estates in Lusby, Morgan Lake would ride her bicycle with her feet perched on the bicycle frame and arms raised in the air while speeding down a hill shouting, "Look at me, mom!" Other times, Melani Lake said, her daughter would jump on a trampoline and grab overhanging tree branches and swing from them.
"It wasn't enough just to have fun," Melani Lake said as she smiled at her daughter. "She was fearless."
Friday's incident has received news coverage nationwide and has raised questions regarding the safety of the Bay Bridge. AAA Mid-Atlantic is calling on the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate the safety of the bridge barriers.
"Based upon news reports, we believe this crash merits investigation by the NTSB, and call upon your agency to undertake an investigation," Mahlon G. Anderson, AAA Mid-Atlantic managing director of public and government affairs, wrote in a letter to NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman.
The bridge barriers were installed in 1986 and were designed so that "if a vehicle ran into it at a small angle, it would deflect the vehicle back into the bridge-way with minimal damage," according to a statement from AAA Mid-Atlatnic. In the letter to NTSB, Anderson wrote that recent history indicates there is a failure of the restraint system on the Bay Bridge, such as when a tractor trailer went off the bridge in 2008 and the driver died.
Anderson states that although Friday a truck was involved in the accident, it was a passenger vehicle that went over the barrier.
"This clearly raises questions about whether there was a failure of the specific restraint system used on the bridge, and whether it meets federal specifications, or whether the federal specifications for the bridge barriers are inadequate to restrain a vehicle in this type of crash," he wrote in the letter. "If so, does it warrant an examination of the adequacy of those federal specifications?"
Police said no charges relating to the incident have been filed as of press time.
"That decision will be made after the investigation is complete. This will take weeks," said transportation authority police spokesperson 1st Sgt. Jonathan Green.
MTA police are still investigating the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 443-915-7797.

Should (+ why is) Buddhism ( be) held in such high regard compared to other religions?
Also if Colleen Steen, Jordan Burrill and Obey No1kinobe help me with the description, for I feel it is lacking in something. (Only if you want to, of course!)
The comment (by me) which inspired this debate : "I personally have never got why Buddhism is held in such high regard compared to other religions.
It believes in reincarnation, and that the dalai lama is the Buddha "reincarnate", (which from the New Atheist perspective that there is a need for evidence to make any claim valid, I don't see much evidence to suggest that reincarnation is correct, at this current moment in time.) and that "desire is the root to all suffering". While I would say rationalization was, but am happy to debate this with many.
I mean, do Buddhists want us just to be zombies? With no desire, or wishes. I am afraid I could not live in a world like that.
Buddhism, has a focus on getting rid of consumerism (and focus more on happiness economics), yet when my brother visited some Buddhist monasteries in Sri Lanka, some Buddhist monks forced him to pay to see the monasty, and made him pay more if he wanted to stay. Which seems rather ironic.
Also I find it rather odd when people say Buddhists are the most "peaceful" when they have extreme discrimination against Islam, which goes contrary to their own beliefs.
I hope you can help with this dilemma I have.
While I am willing to accept that Buddhism does have some amazing insights into what people fulfilled and happy (Which to be honest, I feel is quite amazing, and the main reason they are held in such high regard. And their research into meditation) I just disagree with (from what I understand of my very limiting knowledge of Buddhism) with some of the things they say!
I just view Buddhism in the same light, as I view all religions. (Which is strong agnosticism concerning their spiritual beliefs)"
I know I may have got some of my facts wrong! And apologise if I have!

Apr 13 2013: Okay, you got me there. I probably didn't word what I was attempting to say in the best of ways.
- +1
What I meant was that religion isn't as much of a religion as it is a way of life. I can't deny that it isn't a religion because it is ;people talk about it, practice it and follow it just like a religion is talked about, practiced and followed.
I wouldn't call myself a 'Buddhist', however I do keep in mind the morals and overall goals of Buddhism, and how to incorporate Buddhism in to my own life, but I don't practice it like a religion is practiced
I hope I made more sense.
Apr 13 2013: Ruben,
For what it is worth, I think/feel you worded it perfectly fine. From what I learned about Buddhism with old teachings, it is a philosophical belief, or a way of life. I believe in modern times and western culture, people have embraced it as a religion, and in keeping with the changing times, it is accepted and described as a religion.
That is why I wrote in my comment on this thread...."....it is recognized at present, as the fastest growing religion in the world. I always thought of Buddhism as a philosophical belief rather than a religion, and believe that idea has been reinforced with many of the Buddhist teachings".
Ruben Taylor
Apr 14 2013: Colleen and Chris, I'm not sure how to directly reply to your comments (still new to this website).

I agree with you there, Colleen, people have embraced it as a religion, if it wasn't titled a religion I doubt it would be as popular as it is.
I'm not sure either Chris, it just came to be known as a religion one day. Understandable, I'm a bit lazy with my word choice and I do admit my vocabulary isn't one of the largest. Thankyou.
Apr 14 2013: Ruben,
You did great with the positioning of your reply....it can be confusing. FYI...if there is not a little red "reply" in the upper right of a comment, you scroll back to the next possible "reply" opportunity, which you did.....PERFECT!
I'm not sure when Buddhism started being called a religion either. I did a search yesterday to try to discover that information , and could not find anything.
When I was studying and practicing Buddhism, all the old teachings I read indicated that it is a philosophy, or life practice/way of life, as you insightfully wrote:>) And since you are new to TED.....WELCOME!

Thank you for your question, I have posted in three parts as my answer is quite long.
I am not aware that Buddhism is held in higher regard to other beliefs.
I was brought up in a Christian society (Church of England), attended church as a boy but drifted away from it as I grew older and developed a taste for critical thinking and rebellion.
I recently became interested in Buddhism after going through what I believe was some kind of awakening (although it might simply be a mid-life crises).
I do not know anybody else within my social circle that is a Buddhist, but I felt naturally drawn to it, bought some books and started attending daily meditation at a Buddhist centre in the town where I was born (where I no longer live).
I have felt a natural affinity to most of the teachings so far and have benefitted immensely from the meditation.
These are my personal reasons why I understand and feel comfortable with Buddhist teachings and practice:
There is no supernatural being in Buddhism that hands out rewards or punishments on judgement Day.
There is no original sin or saviour concept in Buddhism. A Buddhist does not think that he can gain purity merely by seeking refuge in the Buddha or by mere faith in him. It is not within the power of a Buddha to wash away the impurities of others.
The liberation of self is the responsibility of one's own self. Buddhism does not call for an unquestionable blind faith by all Buddhist followers. It places heavy emphasis on self-reliance, self discipline, practice and individual striving.
Dharma (the teachings in Buddhism) exists regardless whether there is a Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha simply discovered and shared the teachings. He is neither the creator of such teachings nor the prophet of an almighty God to transmit such teachings to others.
Please continue to part 2.
Keith W
Apr 15 2013: Buddhism I believe is of greater significance because in its true sense it is spirituality without Dogma. Science gives a method of empirical and objective inquiry. Meditation and Mindfulness given by Buddhism too are methods that are measured by the result the practicioner experiences and is made aware of. Given in a scientific kind of way i believe whats occurs during the "Path to Enlightenment" is the de-compartmentalization of brain functions. Enlightenment is the full integration of the different dynamics of our brain and its processes. Buddhism is a noble practice indeed and its built on action not dogma.

Apr 15 2013: Hi Keith!
I agree, THIS is Buddhism in its pure, experiencial form! Not worshipping the teacher, but actually following the teacher. As is said; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (or in this case), appreciation.
I also think that his (Its), teachings are also more highly considered (in the west, today), because 'It' offered to folks a systematic way to attain enlightenment - in "the Eight-Fold Path". Kung Fu Tzu and even Lao Tzu were either unable or unwilling to attempt this.
I have an aquaintance who is a Mason. He said once that his lodge 'recieved quite a number of people who enquire about membership, based on its past reputation as a source for personal help in escaping religious tradition to pursue personal, spiritual experience. They are disappointed to find out that it is more like a fraternity.' So, there are some folks here and there, who are looking for real, presonal, spiritual connectedness.
JordanApr 16 2013: Buddhism is only one of Indic religion, or irreligion that West could partially figured out. I think you must go to the roots.

I am Buddhist and have been for many years & still learning & in turn stumbling a bit here & there. As the Dali Lama would say: I am only human (He said this about himself).
Teachings are important in any religion but Buddhism is not a religion, it is a teaching system of beliefs that the Buddha learned in his life. These teaching can, & are, carried over into modern life quite nicely.
It would be nice if you read up on the Buddha's life to get a better insight.
Apr 12 2013: " I see some folks have been kind enough to correct some of your facts."
Sorry! :(
I haven't the time to do so yet.
Yet even if it isn't a religion, and just a philosophy, it can still be incorrect.
Out of interest why heed the perception of just one man (who lived a very long time ago) in such high light? When he was probably wrong about so many things?
Why not make your own philosophy? I
Apr 12 2013: Was he wrong? I don't feel that way.
Any philosophy can be wrong but his teaching have stood the test of time.
I feel we all have our own philosophies about various things but being just a mere human, I find Buddha's words and teachings very much like my own.
Me thinks you should take a wee bit of time to better inform yourself about a subject before you start a debate. Pretty please!
Apr 12 2013: I agree. :-)
I have only read a few books about Buddhism.
Yet I find that, Christian Teachings have stood the test of time. Does that make them right?
No, Not necessarily. I mean you can make any scripture say what you want it to say.
Yet I must admit, I mus do more research. For the only reason at the moment, I see why Buddhism is that the the Buddha was good at teaching people how to be happy.Apr 13 2013: Bernard,
Perhaps with your statement..."you can make any scripture say what you want it to say", you are suggesting that there are many different interpretations? If that is what you are suggesting, I agree:>)
Lee Park
Apr 11 2013: Please read from my first post up.

This is part 3
It is also important to point out that one can practice Buddhism without being affiliated to a sect or group. This is my chosen path as I believe that fundamentalism can appear this way.
I personally do not believe in reincarnation in the traditional sense but do believe that all of us go on living forever. (I believe that there are 200 billion atoms that make up my body that were once making up the body of William Shakespeare).
I strongly believe that lust (desire), Hate and Ignorance are the main cause of emotional and mental pain and suffering. I myself was experiencing a great deal of pain and suffering while living a lustful, hateful and ignorant life. However, I can assure you that I am not a zombie without these. In fact, I feel more alive than I ever have.
Since becoming less materialistic and consumerist, I attain more happiness through gaining experiences rather than material objects, get more pleasure through spending more time on community activities and with family, eat healthier, and feel so much more free from the clutches of the media and the system that controls us.
I feel less ignorant towards people of other faiths and respect all people and in fact all beings as equals.
I no longer struggle with anger, jealousy, patience and tolerance as I once did.
Finally, the most important thing for me, is that the Buddha taught us to question everything, seek our own answers and look inside ourselves for the way forward.
I hope this personal view of Buddhism is of some help.
Peace and love.
Apr 11 2013: WOW!
Where do I even begin?
I will probably take quite a long to,e responding to this one!Apr 14 2013: Lee, thanks for your posts and my first reaction is "You are talking about Swedenborgianism" :) The concept of life, and how to live, is just as the doctor ordered!
What Jews and Christians often do not understand is that sometimes people are 'chosen' because the worst students make the best example of what we must endure to achieve.

Am not sure whether it is egotistical to identify yourself with a label, or the teaching of a philosopher.
It is like saying I am an egotist, for Identifying myself with Hume, or Karl Marx. And that I need to discover communism for myself, for identifying myself with Karl Marx is egotistical which needs to be eliminated.
Though I can see where your coming from! :DApr 13 2013: Hey Bernard!
I believe this is an allegory in Buddhism, the process of seeking Divine enlightenment and the temptations waiting along the way of the seeker. I see similarities to the writings of "St. John of the Cross", a hermetic mystic who wrote "The Dark Night of the Soul", where issusionary temptations are offered by a deceiver to tempt the initiante to end their quest for union with God before final acheivement. This is a common theme among spiritual seakers of god. Consider Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness and temptation by Satan and the Old Testiment account of 'Jacob and the angel'

Karma is a cornerstone of Buddhist teachings. Karma refers to an important metaphysical concept concerned with action and its consequences. It is the understanding that there are consequences in this lifetime for your actions.
Loving Kindness and compassion is extended to all living beings including animals. Buddhism strictly forbids animal sacrifice for whatever reason. Vegetarianism is recommended but not compulsory.
No holy war concept in Buddhism.
Suffering is another cornerstone in Buddhism. It is the first of the Four Noble Truths. The causes of suffering a are very well analysed and explained in Buddhism.
Buddhist teachings expound no beginning and no end to one's existence or life. (similar to what we are discovering through Quantum Physics).
Buddha does not claim to be a creator of lives or the Universe.
Wisdom occupies a paramount position in Buddhist teachings. One is taught to balance compassion with emotion with rationale (right understanding / truth / logic).
The tradition and practice of meditation in Buddhism is important. While all religions teach some forms or variations of meditation, only Buddhism emphasizes Insight meditation as a powerful tool to assist one in seeking liberation/enlightenment.
The concept of Hell is different in Buddhism. it is not a place for eternal damnation as viewed by 'almighty creator' religions. In Buddhism.
The Buddhist cosmology (or universe) is distinctly different from that of other religions which usually recognise only this solar system with Earth as the centre of the Universe and the only planet with living beings. The Buddhist viewpoint is that there are many solar systems / worlds.
Please continue to part 3Apr 15 2013: "Also I find it rather odd when people say Buddhists are the most "peaceful" when they have extreme discrimination against Islam, which goes contrary to their own beliefs." Here, I think you might be confusing Buddhists with Hindus.
But maybe not...Apr 14 2013: To better understand Buddhism, I highly recommend you check out The Jataka (Jataka Tales, Jatakas, etc) the stories of the Buddha's former births.
To start, Wiki gives a good overview of what the Jataka Tales are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jataka_tales
During my time at College for Creative Studies, I was fortunate enough to take a course on Visual Narration in Asia which was taught by Leela Aditi Wood, arguably one of the most qualified people in the world to be teaching such a subject. The course was an excellent experience and I learned so much!
Apr 14 2013: Hi Casey!
Thanks for the references - will definately check it out!
JordanApr 13 2013: Whatever the connection, or the reason, but the Zen master D. T. Suzuki called Swedenborg "the Buddha of the North" and said the following regarding him:
"Revolutionary in theology, traveler of heaven and hell, great man of the spiritual world, great king of the mystical realm, clairvoyant unique in history, scholar of incomparable vigor, scientist of penetrating intellect, gentleman free of worldly taint: all of these combined into one make Swedenborg... Those who wish to cultivate their spirit, those who bemoan the times, must absolutely know of this person." ~ D. T. Suzuki
More on this here: http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-ENG/loy11.htm
One big advantage of Buddhism would seem to me, is the acceptance of the mind, or human spirit, as a reality. They may with that approach make humans more open and connective to a Divine entity and thus influence. However little they believe in a Divine Being.
Unfortunately Christians have very little tolerance for different beliefs, while my motto, based on my belief is that "If, whatever you believe, makes you a better person, believe it!"
Apr 14 2013: Hi Adriaan!
YES! Emanuel Swedenborg was a very interesting dimensional explorer! And a good example of human nature in action. Even though he was a true explorer of the Divine, There is now (of course), a Swedenborg christian denomination. I don't have a Swedenborg church near me, but I would venture a guess that they rely on his experiences / explorations - rather than follow his example, by having their own (religious practice rather than individual, personal responsibility). I could and hope I am wrong on this , but...
Gary Lachman, a musician in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (former member of 'new wave' band "Blondie w/ Debbie Harry) has written a wonderful little book on Swedenborg's work and has also just done an other book called "Jung, the Mystic" which is also wonderful!
To avoid pursecution from 'the church', Rene deCarte helped create this dualism in western thinking that has haunted us ever since - creating the mechanistic materialism that is now such an obstacle to western scientific progress in the area of consciousness research.
Apr 14 2013: Thank you Jordan, religion, in my opinion is/should always be a personal endeavor and I see religion only as 'spiritual car pooling' nothing more.
Was't there a Gary Lachman also witht the nickname Johnny Appleseed? Talk about reaching out, seed by seed :)
Thanks very much for your input!
BTW much of our church activities can be joined over the internet, if you searched "Bryn Athyn" and cathedral, the town. or "Swedenborg" on UTube.. Newchurchlive.org or newchurch.org, and much more.
Have a great weekend.
Apr 14 2013: Hi Adriaan!
I will definately check these out - thanks for the very interesting inputs on this area!
JordanApr 14 2013: Hi Again Adriaan!
I had no idea that 'Johnny Appleseed' was a Swedenborg adherent(?)/member! Fascinating!
JordanApr 15 2013: Did you know about Helen Keller? She even wrote a book about it "My Religion"Apr 13 2013: Hi Folks!
I believe I am seeing a thread here that is important for me personally in my experience! I am NOT a 'christian'! yet I have encountered (in the upper or innermost levels), a "god-head" (a part of the 'Great Center of All Being'), on the upper levels that will answer to the name Jesus, when called upon. I have also interacted with a wonderful being/god(?), that identifies itself as the Buddha. They both seem to spend most of their existance together as close friends and fellow workers. But, I am NOT a Buddhist!
Over the last twenty-sum years of my explorations of the divine levels/dimensions, I have accumulated enough personal experiencial evidence for myself to feel comfortable in accepting apprenticeship to them for my life, here and beyond. I am now working daily to build my personal energy-information 'resume' for the time that I leave this 'boot camp' dimension and move on to more work and responsibilities.
So, here is my point; to those who 'do', it is a life. For those who talk, ponder, practice theology and engage in feel good 'blind faith', it is a religion - what ever name it goes by or whom ever they are deluded into thinking that they are following.
I know this sounds harsh and judgemental - I don't wish to offend anyone. But, i've done both myself and I know the difference between the two, intimately.
Best Wishes To All!

Apr 10 2013: Its going to be a great debate !
- +1
First of all, some corrections: Buddahism isn't a relign, it is a philosphy and psychologicly way of thought about the human mind and spirit.
Buddahists may believe in reincarnation, but it is not part of the Buddahistic belief. The Dalai lama isn't litrealy a reincarnation of Buddah, but simply "have the spirit of Buddah within him"- meaning that he his someone that is believed that like the original Buddah, have reached internal bliss- the nirvana. The original Buddah avoided in any way from discussing on metaphiscal elements. By Buddahism the way to bliss is internal so any external power is not relevant, if exist or not.
It is concidered as the most peacefull belief because its core concept is that the way to blissfulness is by doing good onto the world. Unlike most religens whome believe that man is evil by heart and need a force to put him on the right track, Buddahism believe that everytime you harm another living creature you harm yourself, because of your inner integrity.
Buddahism isn't a way to happiness, it is a way to bliss, an end of suffering. Mindless zombies have more inner peace. But you don't have to be a mindless zombie in Buddahism, you can want, love, and need, but not desire. If something makes you happy, do it, but it differ what you do because it makes you happy and what you do because you are mentaly, physically and psychologicly have too.Apr 10 2013: Woah Bernard!
This new discussion now appears to be operational Captain Bernard! Always kinda wanted to say something Star Trekkie-like too!
You've asked alot of preliminary questions that I believe YOU should begin with at your choice - first!
'Live Long and Prosper'!
JordanApr 16 2013: Buddhism points to a different paradigm, a way of living that is one with all life and all that exists, that can be experienced and known, when we get free of the clutter in our conditioned human minds. Calling it a religion places it in the same ballpark as those organisations that require blind beleief, which only adds to the clutter.
The ultimate level of enlightenment is to forget the path that lead you there and to live awakened, in the present, in peace, love and joy. That's not membership in a group, that is personal freedomApr 16 2013: This is an interesting question. Interesting, because it involves more of human behavior than a super natural god.
One way to solve your dilemma, is to conduct a thought experiment, where you play the role of an extra terrestrial intelligent being who is watching human behavior. Suppose you have the power of watching such behavior over great spans of time and geographical space. Also suppose in your civilization you have nothing remotely similar to religious faith.
When I conduct that experiment, human race looks almost exactly similar over time and space - and I see cruelty, kindness, dogma and rationality evenly distributed. No one can claim a preferred position in terms of human cruelty, destructiveness and bigotry.
Now let's superimpose religious faiths on people with the idea that it is something that changes human conduct towards better on a global and statistical scale. I think that kind of idea will be clearly silly as history is replete with examples that tend to show there cannot be any general claim that religious faith can change humanity for demonstrably better conduct. Not even Buddhism. So if people hold Buddhism on higher regard compared to other religious faiths it has to be for other reason.
I think that is because on a ground of comparison of religious texts and philosophies. In most part, Buddhism does not propose a God and total submission to his authority rather it insists that human misery or peace is the result of actions. Since it developed from Indic proto religious faiths, it has a distinct karmic element in it. This resonates better with modern liberated and secular ideals of life, though ideas like reincarnation is very difficult to be reconciled with common life.
As human consciousness developed, its complexity induced a runaway quality in it, which is difficult to live with. That plus basic human nature of tribal living and conforming to a normative belief system is why religion came to exist at the first place.Apr 15 2013: Hi Adriaan!
Thanks for the tip on Hellen Keller's book! I've run through a synopsis of it, for now. Really facinating! It appears to be considered an important enough work to still be in publication even now! I'm looking forward to the time when I can sit down with it and really absorb it! Thanks again!
But now, I have a question for you that is of a rather personal nature. You may answer or not in what ever way you feel comfortable. Are you personally practicing exploration of the Divine for yourself as Swedenborg did or are you enclined to simply follow his findings as a religious construct (ei. a theological set of untested, blind faith)?
If you are not yet exploring the Divine for yourself, I can easily offer some spiritual skill/tools for that direction - should you be interested.
Thanks again for our chats! I'm enjoying them very much!
JordanApr 14 2013: Hi Bernard,
Just responding to your mentioning of reincarnation. As Swedenborgians we do not believe in reincarnation because we see it as a misinterpretation of who says what :)
We live in a spiritual world and have out body in this material, physical world. We can look around and know exactly what is ours (usually) and what is not ours. And just by looking at something does not make it ours either.
We are conscious of this physical world and not (usually) conscious of the spiritual world. However we are more influenced and moved by that spiritual world than anything in this physical world. Just saying we are a spirit in a body does not say much. There really is a spiritual WORLD which also means we have good and not so good spirits around us that communicate thoughts and feelings to us. If we decide to change our view on something or concept that means we are changing our spiritual environment. Changing the spirits around us.
When a person is hypnotized and that person says something it is not that person (which 'stepped aside') who is talking but it is on of the spirits around, or associated to the person. That spirit may have lived in this world hundreds or thousands of years ago, and say so, but it is not the person who's body is sitting or lying there.
All that being said, if someone says to me he or she believes in reincarnation, I say "that fine, that's just details. If that helps you in becoming a better person, a more loving and compassionate person, Great! I compare it to what you wear to church, it is not what you wear because that's just looks. Just looks don't make us a better person.
To give you details and a more general overview of what we believe this spiritual world is all about, I highly recommend this book. And if you want to read anything on paper, there is the Swedenborg Society in London.
http://webhome.idirect.com/~abraam/documents/TheSpiritualWorld.pdfApr 10 2013: Personally as a 'strong atheist' (I've heard it labelled that many times),
I only hold buddhism in a high regard (solely in comparison to my aggressive contempt for the abrahamic faiths) due to its appearance of being largely pacifist and non-confrontational.
Essentially, it collectively leaves me alone and therefore I leave it alone in response.
Now if I was in a country such as Thailand or Srilanka I may have a different opinion, but as it stands I have no reason to attack it or defend myself from it, directly or indirectly.
My position on the dalai-lama and the belief system on the other hand is ultimately the same as any other faith.
Superstition, faulty reasoning, lack of evidence, indoctrination and ruled by charlatans..
Apr 10 2013: Wow! This can make an interesting side debate, because I have often been labelled a strong agnostic, so I believer we might be polar opposites (in one sense)!
I view 'God' as a poorly defined (in the way it only has subjective definitions!) hypothesis.
I would recommend the other debate I started called : Can we create an experiment to test the hypothesis of God? (Or something like that!)
While to the current debate at hand, before I get too carried away as Colleen suggests so brilliantly, it's interesting to see how you note that if you were born in a different country your opinion might the different, which is kind of crucial!Apr 10 2013: Bernard,
I am honored, again, to be invited to one of your discussions....thank you:>)
Although I practiced and studied Buddhism at one stage of my life, I've also practiced, researched and studied other religions, and I do not hold Buddhism in any higher regard than other practices. That being said, it is recognized at present, as the fastest growing religion in the world. I always thought of Buddhism as a philosophical belief rather than a religion, and believe that idea has been reinforced with many of the Buddhist teachings.
I do not practice a religion at this time, and certainly have embraced many teachings from various different religious and philosophical beliefs, many of which support each other as a foundation for our learning, growth and evolution. Much of the dogma of religions, which does not make sense, and does not beneficially support the life experience, keeps me from wanting to embrace a particular religion.
I believe in a form of reincarnation, in which the energy that powers the body is recycled. I do not believe that the same "person" is reincarnated many times. Some Buddhists believe in reincarnation, and some do not.
Regarding your brother's visit to Buddhist monasteries....
Because there are different branches, which embrace a variety of different traditions, beliefs and practices, and are not consistant regarding their understanding and practices leading to "the path", we do indeed see some contradictions.
I agree with you Bernard, in viewing all religious beliefs in the same light, because people are different, will interpret these concepts in different ways, just as we may, as humans, interpret EVERYTHING in different ways, therefore using the information differently:>)
I suggest that if anyone wants you to be a "zombie", you might want to seriously evaluate that information:>)

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for two years on and off. We fight all the time because hes 5 years younger than me and really imature. I feel like his mom because I am always telling him to clean his room and do the dishes and shit like that. The only place he is really dominate is in the bedroom. He is very handsome and he has a huge cock. He is a very good lover and turns me on alot more than most of the other older guys Ive dated. Today was the first time weve had sex in like a month and its been killing me...We were laying in bed just holding each other and relaxing but I guess my mind was else where cause my hand kept drifting to his stomach and down his boxers to his dick.
I looked up at him to see if he was feeling the same way I was, and he was grinning from ear to ear. God, Hes such a cutie :) So I started stroking his dick and after about five minutes of that I was bored and horny. I wanted some satisfaction. I was on my period so sex was kinda out of the question, but my bf was already horny from me playing with his dick. Once he gets an idea in his head, he doesnt give up. After I gave up on the handjob, he went right on beating his own dick while feeling up my titties and ass and playing with my pubic hair. I could feel my pussy aching to be touched but I wasnt down to do it while I was bleeding.
My bf started focusing his attention on my ass. He was rubbing and caressing it, geting closer and closer to my asshole with each touch. Then he licked his finger and put it in, I pushed him away even though I really liked it. I didnt want him to know I liked it and think I was gross or a slut. Next he started rubbing his cock all over my ass and pushing it against the opening of my anus. I squeezed my cheeks together and rolled over playfully saying "no your crazy" He smiled again and said " you know you like it" then he flipped me back over and put me in doggie style position. He spread my ass with his hand and spit on the tip of his dick. he slowly rubbed it around the opening of my ass and then after a couple tries, popped the head of his dick in.
It hurt a little at first, but my pussy was aching for more I was sooo horny. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled my body against him so that his whole 8 inch cock was up my ass. I started crazy moaning and licking and sucking his fingers as he pumped slowly in and out. It felt so good! After he busted inside me, he said "eww I cant believe I just did that I need a shower Babe. That was really hot" My face turned really red and I jumped up and beat him to the bathroom. I didnt know what to say and I wanted to clean up first. Im so happy I didnt make a mess on his dick that would have been tooo embarrising

I am not joining an angry mob about this article but espn can do better than schefter.
I thought Tannehill was ok yesterday, but he doesn't really make the elite throws.
However, last week, he was very subpar and may very well have cost us the game. So he was worse than a game manager.
He has the tools, but I wonder about the "it" factor.
My fiance is a physician and not really a football fan other than just watching while I do. Her random observation was that Tannehill is a gentleman and looks like a med student (she loves that he majored in biology). But she doesn't see the "cut your throat" attitude that the great qb's have. Problem being he is a "gentleman."
You gotta love the 6'4, the footwork, the good arm, etc. I'm not sure if he is true gym rat but supposedly he stays late. The question is, will he improve his accuracy, make some elite throws, and win games. He hasn't been good on 3rd down or in the 4th quarter. He has gotta get that "it factor" up and be a winner.
Cant say I disagree with Schefter. We just dont know yet. Thats all he is saying.
He's not performing as well as Luck, Griffin or Wilson, regardless of supporting cast. That's a simple fact.
Twitter: @ckparrot
Let's put it this way: Trent Dilfer, who played the position in the league for over a decade and won a SB, and who has since become one of the more respected analysts around when it comes to breaking down QB play, thinks Tannehill will be a 'rock star', to use Dilfer's words. I'll go with that educated opinion, formed after studying the tape, with the professional credentials to back it up, before I'll go with the opinion of a guy who once threw a football growing up on Long Island.

The Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) and Europe appear to be an ideal demographic match: the former has a large supply of young, active workers, and the latter has a shortage of the youthful, skilled or unskilled labor it needs to sustain its economic competitiveness. MENA is the source of 20 million first-generation migrants, half of them now living in another MENA country and most of the rest in Europe. The region also hosts around the same number within its borders. In addition, the size of MENA's working-age population will continue to rise sharply in the next two decades while the corresponding segment of the population in Europe will soon start to decline.

Counts TCP states from Netstat and displays in an ordered list.
Searches for web radio by submitted keyword and returns the station name and the link for listing .
May be enhanced to read user's selection and submit it to mplayer.
If you use HISTTIMEFORMAT environment e.g. timestamping typed commands, $(echo "1 2 $HISTTIMEFORMAT" | wc -w)
gives the number of columns that containing non-command parts per lines.
It should universify this command.
not the best, uses 4 pipes!
previous version leaves lots of blank lines
Case Insensitive! and Works even if the "<title>...</title>" spans over multiple line.
Simple! :-)
Grab a list of MP3s (with full path) out of Firefox's cache
Ever gone to a site that has an MP3 embedded into a pesky flash player, but no download link? Well, this one-liner will yank the *full path* of those tunes straight out of FF's cache in a clean list.
Shorter and Intuitive version of the command submitted by (TuxOtaku)
Interfaces like lo can be omitted from the beginning, there are probably better ways of doing this, i'm a noob at awk.
Ever gone to a site that has an MP3 embedded into a pesky flash player, but no download link? Well, this one-liner will yank the names of those tunes straight out of FF's cache in a nice, easy to read list. What you do with them after that is *ahem* no concern of mine. ;)
Yet another x11grab using ffmpeg. I also added mic input to the capturing video stream using alsa. Yet I need to find out how to capture audio which is currently playing.
This makes an alias for a command named 'busy'. The 'busy' command opens a random file in /usr/include to a random line with vim. Drop this in your .bash_aliases and make sure that file is initialized in your .bashrc.
Computes a columns average in a file. Input parameters = column number and optional pattern.
This version prints current votes and commands for a user. Pass the user as an argument. While this technically "fits" as a one liner, it really is easier to look at as a shell script with extra whitespace. :)
(Apparently it is too long so I put it in sample output, I hope that is OK.)
Run the long command (or put it in your .bashrc) in sample output then run:
fbemailscraper YourFBEmail Password
Voila! Your contacts' emails will appear.
Facebook seems to have gotten rid of the picture encoding of emails and replaced it with a text based version making it easy to scrape!
Needs curl to run and it was made pretty quickly so there might be bugs.
You set the file/dirname transfer variable, in the end point you set the path destination, this command uses pipe view to show progress, compress the file outut and takes account to change the ssh cipher. Support dirnames with spaces.
Merged ideas and comments by http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/4379/copy-working-directory-and-compress-it-on-the-fly-while-showing-progress and http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/3177/move-a-lot-of-files-over-ssh
Just refining last proposal for this check, showing awk power to make more complex math (instead /1024/1024, 2^20). We don't need declare variable before run lsof, because $(command) returns his output. Also, awk can perform filtering by regexp instead to call grep. I changed the 0.0000xxxx messy output, with a more readable form purging all fractional numbers and files less than 1 MB.

Recent Advances in Acne Pathogenesis Information
The 2009 acne update from the Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne throws some interesting insights about the pathogenesis of acne:
1- The inflammatory events in acne precede the hyperkeratinization (thickening of the follicular walls).
2- P. acnes specifically activate special receptors on the cell membranes of inflammatory cells.
3- The sebaceous gland is a neuroendocrine-inflammatory organ that coordinates and executes a local response to a variety of neuro-endocrinological and stress induced stimuli.
4- Sebaceous gland plays an important role in hormonally induced aging of skin.
5- In addition to their action on sebaceous gland activity, androgens have influence on the follicular cells (corneocytes) also.
5- Oxidized lipids in sebum (possibly altered by P.acnes) induce the production of inflammatory mediators.
6- Sebum contains several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which play important roles in the inflammatory process of acne. The levels of MMPs are significantly reduced in the acne lesions following treatment.
Simpson NB & Cunliffe WJ. Disorders of the Sebaceous Glands in Rookâs Textbook of Dermatology. 2004; 7: 43.1-43.75.
Diane T, Gollnick H et al. New insights into the management of acne: An update from the Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne Group. J Am Acad Dermatol, 2009;60:S1-50.
1, 3- knew that.
2, , 6- Don't really have a handle on those things.
4- My sebaceaous glands have been aging me? All those years I thought that at least oily skin was keeping my skin young looking.
5-Duh. Oxidized just about anything is inflammatory.
Wait, there's 2 fives. Some kind of typo, but anyway- note that the other number 5 says that androgens have an influence on cells in addition to stimulating excess sebum. But they don't elaborate on that at all. At least not in the section on the pathogenic is of acne where the above list is found.
The entire report is available as a pdf: http://piel-l.org/bl...al-alliance.pdf

86 the laces.
Get on the fast track to freestyle fun with the Thirty Two Men's 86 FT Snowboard Boot. It has a medium flex that allows you to tweak grabs and slides, but is still supportive enough for boosting jumps and venturing into the trees. Not only does the Fast Track lacing system make it quick and easy to get in and out of your boots, it also allows you to independently tighten four different zones so you can dial in the perfect fit every time.
The Level 1 Intuition liner is heat-moldable for a custom fit, and a molded EVA insole cushions your feet for all-day comfort. Finally, an aggressive tread on the durable rubber sole helps you maintain traction on icy steps and sketchy hikes.

New Boots Goof'n!
I haven't been able to use these on a mountain yet, but I'm pretty impressed with the construction, ease of entry / exit, and style.
I'm a little concerned that the grip on the soles may be lacking, but I really won't know until I've had them up on the slopes. Other than that I'm excited to have them for this season and will be sure to let everyone know how they worked slope-side.

Go to boots!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This boot is by far my favorite boot. I've had several years of this boot and it has held up really well. The boot is definitely soft, but very responsive. This is an ideal boot for jibbing and all around park. Holds up on the rest of the mountain too. The fast track lacing system is great too, not very hard to figure out, and they go on and off quickly. They will pack out a little bit, so you may want to go half a size smaller, unless you like a little room.
Antony Wildey
Initial Impressions
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I wanted to share my experience with these boots so far (no snow time yet - will update when they've been used in anger) .
I originally ordered a size 12 - my sneakers are a 12 but i'm whats known as a big 12 (wider flatter feet) and after wearing the 12 for half an hour around the house my feet were numb ! Yeah so a 12 was definitely too small :) I returned for a 13 and its a world different , my toes are now just grazing the end of the boot and they feel relatively comfortable , I think even as they pack out they will not become loose.
I like the speed lace system a lot - its easy for a big guy like me to get them nice n snug and the seperate adjustments are great.
The build quality seems fantastic and I really like the lightweight of these boots. Overall very happy with this purchase - bring on the snow !!!

Medford, Ore -- According to a new audit released Monday by the Department of Veteran Affairs, wait times for Oregon veterans are among some of the longest in the country.
The VA facility in White City had the third longest wait times in the country for specialist care, and 7th longest for veterans seeking mental health care.
In response, Oregon senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden called for immediate action.
"The service was really great to me," said Tim, a military veteran, who didn't want to share his last name or have his face shown on camera, experienced delays at the V.A. first hand.
In 2007, Tim had been scheduled to take part in a treadmill test at the Roseburg V.A. Hospital, to monitor his heart but abruptly, it was canceled.
"They called me the day before, Thursday on the second, and said that they didn't have anybody available to administer the dye."
At the time, Tim didn't think anything of it and figured it would be rescheduled. But less than three weeks later, he suffered from chest pain and shortness of breath..
"I almost had a massive heart attack, and I went to the hospital here in Grants Pass, and received medical care," Tim said.
During that visit to Three Rivers Hospital, it was determined Tim had blocked arteries.
The V.A. Hospital in Roseburg told Tim's doctor they couldn't take him, they just didn't have any room. Tim was transferred to Medford where he underwent open heart surgery, undergoing a 5-way bypass.
"It was like a year and a half later, Three Rivers attorney got ahold of me and they filed suit for $60,000 to be paid for their bill," Tim explained.
A bill Tim says he couldn't afford. And because it wasn't at a VA hospital, Tim was responsible for making sure it was paid.
"My V.A. doctor told me to go to Medford, it's not like I had a choice," Tim said.
He fought the suit himself since he couldn't afford an attorney.
In 2008, a 9-person Josephine County Jury found in his favor, saying Tim never had an agreement to pay for his surgery.
"We need some kind of healthcare system that is more viable," Tim said.
Now 7 years after his heart surgery, Tim's changed the way he uses his V.A. benefits. Instead preferring to look after his own health, by eating right and making good lifestyle choices, so he doesn't have to go through anything like this again.
NBC 5 News reached out to the VA hospital in Roseburg for comment, but they said because of HIPPA and patient privacy, they could not answer questions.

Gallery: SubHus: Amazing Norwegian Hotel Built into the Ground
The subterranean hotel is a set of linked rooms hosting private bathrooms and private patios constructed from glass and concrete. The rooms have been partially buried underground with a sod roof covering, which provides both insulation to the rooms and a minimization of the visual impact of the hotel on the landscape. Domed skylights have been installed on the sod roof providing daylight to the spaces below through large channels that reach to the backs of each room.
Tori Langklopp and Roar Svenning, who own and operate the hotel, run the entire Stokkøya Sea Center, which is known for its waters and diving activities. The Sea Center also includes: the Beach Bar, waterfront restaurant in a glass box, as well as other nearby accommodations and dive facilities. Construction on SubHus began in 2008 and the structure was opened to the public in May of 2009. Each cabin has been uniquely designed and furnished with thrift store and auction finds, giving the cabins a comfortable yet raw, industrial feel.

Gallery: Big Dig House: Recycled Residence Reaches Completion
If the walls of the Big Dig House could talk, they'd tell you that it's comprised of 600,000 lbs of recycled materials that were rescued from the Big Dig highway project in Boston. Inhabitat last reported on the striking modern residence in 2006 when it was still in its planning stages, and it has since come a long way from being a pile of rubble and recycled materials. We may now behold what stands today — an elegant and modern private home in Lexington, MA with an exciting backstory.
At a final cost of $150 per square foot, most of the materials for the Big Dig house were free, minus the expenses to ship the materials to Lexington, MA. Set in an area of Lexington called Six Moon Hill, the finished Big Dig House has joined other modern homes that are well known to the area.
To save time and energy, Single Speed Design, engineers and designers of the Big Dig House, used most of the salvaged materials from the Big Dig in the condition in which they were found. Using the structural materials "as is" equipped the house to take on a much heavier load than standard building materials. As such, the house features an elaborate roof garden above the garage. Slabs of concrete reclaimed from the highway support three feet of soil, and the entire garden is designed to use recycled rainwater.
The house's exterior is elegantly clad in cedar siding and glass, giving it a clean and modern finishing touch without disguising the exposed steel tubes and beams. They say that one man's trash is another man's treasure. The Big Dig House is a perfect example of the treasure to be found in recycling and reuse.

Based on a PBS documentary story about this house, the steel is heated by radiant heat tubes at the points of penetration. It is claimed that the "thermal bridge" problem is overcome and the heated steel in the structure becomes a heat source, as well.
July 7, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I once built a beautiful modern house here in Minnesota, with a W18x76 steel beam running though the facade. Years later, still bothered by this detail, I calculated that this piece of steel is 1000 times more thermally conductive than the nominal R-19 wall it is next to.
Arguably a beautiful house, but can you say "thermal bridge?"
