Matthew 10:8 :: New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The attempt to make God just in the eyes of sinful men will always
lead to error.
- Pastor William L. Brown.
1 “But mark this:
There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God—
5 having a form of
godliness but denying its
power. Have nothing to do with them.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all
kinds of evil desires,
7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,
so also these men oppose the
truth--men of
depraved minds, who, as far as
the faith is concerned, are rejected.
9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those
men, their folly
will be clear to everyone.”

2 Timothy 3:1-9 :: New International Version (NIV)

3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Therefore, I say:
Know your
enemy and know yourself;
in a hundred
battles, you will never be defeated.
When you are
ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,
your chances of
winning or losing are equal.
If ignorant both of your
enemy and of yourself,
you are sure to be defeated in every battle.
-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War, c. 500bc
There are two ends not to
be served by a wanderer. What are these two? The pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which springs from desire,
which is base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and unprofitable; and the pursuit of pain and
hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.

3 Neither let the son of
the stranger, that hath joined himself to
the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I receive numerous letters of pathetic tales of dissipated, lost youth. The recent trend in the increase of vulgar, cheap and aphrodisiac literature and obscene films, both Indian and Western, had added to the miseries of misguided youth. Loss of the vital energy creates great fear in their mind. The body becomes weak, memory fails, the face becomes ugly and the young man is not able to remedy his pitiable condition due to shame. But there is no cause for despair. Even if a few of the hints in the following pages are observed, he will develop the correct attitude to life and will lead a disciplined spiritual life and ultimately attain supreme bliss.
Difference
between physiological pollution and pathological pollution
Spermatorrhoea is involuntary seminal discharge. Nocturnal discharge, night pollution, Svapna-Dosha, wet dream are all synonymous terms. Ayurvedic doctors call this disease Sukra-Megha. This is due to the evil habits in youth. In severe cases, discharges occur in daytime also. The patient passes semen along with urine during micturition. If there is occasional discharge, you need not be alarmed a bit. This may be due to heat in the body, or the pressure of loaded bowels or bladder on the seminal bags. This is not a pathological condition.
Night pollution is of two kinds, namely, physiological
pollution and pathological pollution. In
physiological pollution, you will be refreshed. You should not be afraid
of this act. You should not mind if the discharge
of semen is very occasional. You need not worry about it. This is also a slight
flushing of the apparatus or a periodical cleansing through a slight overflow
from the reservoir in which the semen is stored up. This act may not be
attended with evil thoughts. The person may not be aware of the act during the
night. Whereas, in
pathological pollution, the act is accompanied by sexual thoughts. Depression follows. There is irritability, languishment,
laziness, inability to work and concentrate.
Occasional discharges are of no consequence, but frequent nocturnal pollutions
cause depression of spirits, debility, dyspepsia, low
spirits, loss
of memory, severe pain in the back,
headache, burning of the eyes, drowsiness and burning sensation at urination or during the flow of
semen. The semen becomes very thin.
Causes
and consequences
Wet dreams and spermatorrhoea may be due to various causes like constipation, a loaded stomach, irritation-producing or wind-producing food, impure thoughts and long self-abuse done in ignorance.
Seminal weakness, nocturnal emissions, lascivious dreams and all other effects of an immoral life will surely lead one to a miserable state of living if not checked by proper medicines. But these medicines cannot produce a permanent cure. One can get temporary relief during the time one takes the medicine. Even doctors of the West admit that such medicines cannot effect a permanent cure. The moment the medicine is discontinued, the patient will find his disease all the worse. In some cases, the patient becomes impotent by the use of drugs. The only effective permanent cure can be had through the system of ancient Yoga. Nasti Yogat Param Balam. There is no strength higher than that of Yoga. The different methods given in this book will enable you to get success if practiced regularly.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with
the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of
Footprints in the sand;
one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before
him,
he looked back at the Footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life
there was only one set of Footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest
and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him, and he questioned
the Lord about it:
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed
that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of Footprints.
I don’t understand why,
when I needed you most,
you would leave me.”
The Lord replied:
“My son, My precious
child,
I love you and I would
never leave you.
During your times of trial
and suffering,
when you have seen only one set of Footprints,
it was Then that I carried you.”

Introduction to Photogrammetry
http://www.univie.ac.at/Luftbildarchiv/wgv/intro.htm
...
The first analytical plotters were
introduced in 1957.
From the 1970ies on, they became commonly available on the market. The idea is
still the same as with analogue instruments. But here, a computer
manages the relationship between image- and real-world coordinates.
...
The main difference to the former analogue plotting
process is that the plotter doesn´t plot any
more directly onto the map but onto the monitors screen or into the database
of the computer.
The analytical plotter uses the computer to calculate
the real-world coordinates, which can be stored as an
ASCII file or transferred on-line into CAD-programs. In that way, 3D drawings
are created, which can be stored digitally, combined with other data and
plotted later at any scale.
Digital
Digital techniques have become widely
available during the last decade. Here, the images are not on film but digitally
stored on tape or disc. Each picture element (pixel) has its known position and
measured intensity value, only one for black/white,
several such values for colour or multispectral
images.
3.2.3. Mapping from several
photographs
This kind of restitution, which can be done in 3D,
has only become possible by analytical and digital photogrammetry.
Since the required hard- and
software is steadily getting cheaper, it´s
application fields grow from day to day.
Here, mostly more than two photographs are used. 3D objects are
photographed from several positions. These are located around the object, where any object-point
should be visible on at least two, better three photographs. The photographs
can be taken with different cameras (even ”amateur”
cameras) and at different times (if the object does not move).
* technique
As mentioned above, only analytical or digital
techniques can be used.
During all methods, first a bundle adjustment has to
be calculated. Using control points and triangulation points the geometry of
the whole block of photographs is reconstructed with high pecision.
Then the image coordinates of any desired object-point measured in at least two
photographs can be intersected. The result are the
coordinates of the required points.
In that way, the whole 3D object is digitally
reconstructed.

Henry Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas.(1959) Living Biographies of Great
Philosophers.
Page 208
The world is intelligible, said Hegel. Reason lies at
the heart of things,
under
their apparent disunity on the surface. Skeptics like Hume had
thrown doubt into men’s minds and had created an atmosphere of cynicism
that had produced unscrupulous adventurers like Napoleon. When man loses faith
in the values of human life civilization is on the retrograde. For life is a
great and systematic scheme of truth. Man can understand this truth through his faculties of
reason even if he cannot apprehend it through his faculties of
sense. In other
words, Hegel directly throws out a challenge to Hume. After all, it is possible for
man to know things beyond his experience. Through his reason. There are two types of
reason: the practical reason, which deals with everyday affairs and with sensible objects that have a
tangible existence,
and the abstract reason, which deals with ideas beyond our sensory existence.
Page 208 – 209
And here we come to the crux of the matter –
the principal issue between the skeptics and the metaphysicians. The skeptics
maintain that those things alone exist which we can apprehend through the
senses. The
metaphysicians,
on the other hand, insist that there are things beyond the senses which have an
equally real existence.
All
our conceptions which are not material – declares Hegel – exist just as surely
as a material table or chair. Consider, for example, our conception of quantity. We have seen two pencils but we have never seen the abstract quantity, two. And yet the abstract conception of two exists in the
reason just as
surely as the concrete two pencils exist in space. For without the existence of an
abstract measure of quantity we would never be able to distinguish between the
concrete quantities of things in experience.
Page 209
There is therefore pure reason as opposed to
practical reason – or, to put it in another way, there is a formal existence as
opposed to a material existence. The proposition that two
and two equal four has a formal existence. It does not exist in space; it does
not exist in time. It does not exist even in our minds, for regardless of what
happens to our minds the proposition remains true. Yet it exists in the
abstract with as much reality as the house of my next-door neighbor exists in
the concrete.
This is the fundamental assumption of Hegel. And upon this
assumption he rears his structure of philosophy. Hume has maintained that
we can never discover a first cause for the world,
or indeed a cause for anything. And
Hegel agrees. But, he insists, if we cannot find a cause we can at
least find a reason for things. This may sound like a quibble, but it is not. A cause is an
active force that produces an effect in time. A reason is a logical necessity
which has nothing to do with time. The cause of the world’s existence, Hegel would
agree with Hume, is an expression which makes no sense. But the reason for the world’s
existence is an expression which makes very good sense indeed. The reason for
the world has a logical nontemporal priority to the world, just
as a mathematical problem has a logical nontemporal
priority to its solution. The logical exists just as truly as the physical. The real is the rational – this is Hegel’s battlecry.
Page 209-210
Reason, continues Hegel, is self-explanatory. The
world is reason. For reason is identical with existence. To the question as to what is the
reason for everything,
we must answer – everything. But since existence
is all-inclusive,
maintains Hegel, it comprises within it the state of not-being as well as of being. Everything contains within itself its own opposite. It is impossible to conceive of
anything without conceiving at the same time of its opposite. You cannot think of
finiteness without thinking of infinity or of time without thinking of
timelessness. A cow is a cow and is at the same time not a cat. A thing is
itself only because at the same time it is not something else. Every thesis for an
argument has its antithesis. Life has death, and love has hate. Day has night,
and youth has age. But Hegel goes a step beyond this perfectly obvious
conclusion and comes forward with a startling pronouncement. Not only has everything an opposite but everything
is its own opposite! The truth lies
on both sides of every question. The truth is either side. After all, life is a
struggle of opposing forces attempting to combine with one another into a higher
unity. And this unity, the quest of
the philosophers
and the
dream of the poets,
is achieved only at the cost of much blood. It is a unity born out of strife and agony and despair. It is
the
concord of love that rises out of the discord of hatred, the precept of
denial that is translated
into the principle
of affirmation,
the
spirit that dies in order to live!
Page 210
All nature, then, is a reconciliation of opposites.
And, like
everything else,
man
too finds his opposite.
He
wrestles with nature. He is finally
overcome by nature. But only to achieve his immortality. For when he yields himself in death he
is merely yielding his one self to his other self. For life is death. And nature is man. Here, too, underneath the surface
diversity as apprehended by our fragile senses, there is a profound and moving unity. Nothing external to man is really different from
man. The world around us is our other self. We see a tree. The tree is known to us. It exists
for us only as it is known to us. Therefore its existence is included in our
faculty for knowledge which exists in us. Its existence is part of us. Our
existence is part of it.
Nature is the objective
self as opposed to the conscious
self. If we wish to obtain the
truth, we must not only view the world from the standpoint of our inner
selves but
we must view our inner selves from the standpoint of the world. This is the supreme test we must pass
if we are to follow the highest laws of reason. We must regard ourselves with complete objectivity
as our own opposite, or antithesis. And then, we are ready
for the highest union, or synthesis, known to human experience. Liberated from the petty prejudices of our sensuous perceptions,
we may now breathe the clear cool air of freedom. By withdrawing
from our imperfect and fragile consciousness we have achieved a far greater consciousness, the sublime
and perfect consciousness of Self. And this Self, as we then realize, is completely
aware of its own organic unity
and all-inclusive
power. Nature rises
to self-consciousness in

Emerson
Page 246
Yet to many of the reactionaries his iconoclasm was
anything but tender. Indeed, they maintained that he had
enthroned the devil in the place of God. He would be punished for his sins. “We are sorry
for Mr. Emerson,
but it
certainly looks as if he is going to hell.” “It does indeed look so,” replied one of his
friends. “But I am sure of one thing – if Emerson
goes to hell, he will so change its climate that it will become a popular
resort for all the good souls of heaven.”
When EMERSON left his pulpit he went out to search
for the meaning of life. He took long walks in the country. He tried to attune
his ear and his heart to the music of Nature. And before long he made a strange
discovery. He learned that the heart of
Nature was beating in unison with his own heart. He was an intimate part of a
living world. His mind was an important cell of the world mind – or, as he called it,
the
World Soul or Oversoul. And this abstract discovery led him to a practical observation. He noticed, when he
reflected upon the intimate relationship between himself and the rest of the
world, that his whole
being was electrified with a surge of power, an overmastering confidence in
himself and in his fellow men. This power was infinite. He would draw upon it at
will. And he could
teach others to draw upon this same power within themselves. Each of us, he concluded, possesses the
spiritual capital for developing an enormous business – the business of
acquiring and exchanging beauty and joyousness and freedom and friendship and
peace.
It was a doctrine admirably suited to the
temperament and the genius of
And thus Emerson became a teacher of
man, the immortal pupil
– “a professor,” to use his own expression, “of the Science of
Joy.”
