 Theblackknight writes: "In some circle such as Freemasonry, schools of practical Kabala, and the Urantia society, heaven is the place where we all originated from, and long to return. When we departed from there with the rebels, we had no idea that the material world would be so painful to the immortal soul, we were tricked by the "snake" and must now redeem ourselves to deserve a welcome return to the original source. Man has sealed his own faith. That forbidden fruit we like to talk about so much is life, as we know it. Shocking isn't it?"

:: News: Chat Room Slang In The Classroom
|
|
Posted on Thursday, September 19, 2002 @ 18:20:03 EDT
 Marco writes: "The New York Times (registration requred) is reporting on how common chat room/IM talks (such as 'U' for you, 'R' for are, etc) are creeping into the classrooms and homework assignments from those teenage kids who spend a significant amount of time chatting online. As you may imagine, it makes it hard for teachers to grade the assignments, much less understand them because of the techno-generation gap. But teachers are fighting back by penalizing students for using the net slang in order to prevent further abuse of it. The saddest part is that it has become second nature to those students, that most of them don't even realize it until it is pointed out."

 Marco writes: "MSN is running this article describing how and why women make better managers in the work force.
Yes guys, you've heard it right, as provocative as the title sound, fact is, it's a widely accepted generalizations.
Here are few points the article made about women abilities; although there are statements presented as general truths but based on limited or incomplete evidence..
Women are better than men at empowering teams and staff.
Women encourage openness and are more accessible.
Women leaders respond more quickly to calls for assistance.
Women are more tolerant of differences, so they're more skilled at managing diversity.
Women identify problems more quickly and more accurately.
Women are better at defining job expectations and providing valuable feedback. "

:: The Burden Of The Soul
|
|
Posted on Friday, September 06, 2002 @ 10:30:19 EDT
 Theblackknight writes: "One of the laws of Karma is to face and overcome the huddles that you were unable to overcome in previous lives.
It is believed that when one goes to transition, the soul analyzes its recent life, assessing what was learned, what needs to be improved, and plan the lessons to learn for the next reincarnation. The soul is that part of God that is in men (created in his image), therefore, will pass a hard but fair judgment onto itself. The difficulties of carrying those plans, made in the immaterial world, resides in the fact that the power of realization of the soul, once it inhabits the human body, is dulled and diminished by the limitations of the flesh. Only through trials and tribulations, just like an infant first learn to crawl, falls and hurt him/herself before knowing how to walk, such are the tribulations of the soul through the path of perfection before the permanent return to the original source: God."

 Theblackknight writes: " Next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be...
Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good in June. However they were starting to smell so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children; last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you
could actually lose someone in it hence the saying,"don't throw the baby out with the bath water." "

 Marco writes: "A survey shows women love these things done for them. So take notes guys, if these don't help you nothing will.
1. Ask her to dance.
2. On windy days, brush wayward strands of hair from her eyes and mouth.
3. When shes coming down the street, across the room, or up the stairs to meet you, walk toward her as soon as you see her.
4. Kiss her between her shoulder blades when she turns her back to you to go to sleep
5. Put your arm around her when you introduce her to your friends and family."

 This is a little flash movie that was made and dedicated in honor of the men, women and children and to all who sacrificed their lives and responded to the emergency of that tragic day. Please take a moment and watch this little movie and let's remember them all.
Note: This movie is 7MB, so if you don't have broadband/dsl internet connection, you may have to wait a long time for it to load but it is worth it..
