(ccl) I don't know of any other country that's smaller than California that rivals Morocco for sheer diversity of landscape. Riding through southern Morocco, we saw it all. Parched riverbeds. Red cliffs. Verdant green oases. Rich farmland. Snow-capped mountains. Add to this the crumbling ruins of many former settlements and kasbahs, and you have a fascinating and breathtakingly beautiful journey. After breakfast and a shower (promised to be hot; actually cold, but who needs hot water in the Sahara?) we set off for our next destination, the Todra Gorge. There were some German tourists who had spent the night at the inn who asked us if we were hiring a guide to take us back to Erfoud from the desert, and when we said no, they asked if we had a GPS. We definitely did not see the need for a guide, as all roads eventually end up at the same place. But they wanted a guide and didn't have room in their car, so we agreed to take Hammid and Adeal in our car, back to Erfoud. After cashing some... See less

A fantastic new collection of illustration art from the creators of DEVI, The SADHU, RAMAYAN 3392 AD and many more. Exciting new collection now available. Click the images below to view the canvas prints. From some of the most talented artists and storytellers ever to put pen to paper, ID-Wall are thrilled to present a series of prints from the Virgin Comics archive. Featuring five groundbreaking character concepts based on the revived and reinvented mythical narratives of Asia , this collection represents today’s culture-embracing and border-breaking class of superhero.

With films like Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II under his black belt, this is one man who knows how to tell a story loaded with high velocity action, and 7 Brothers is no ‘rom com’.

The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death explains what is revealed in religious revelation and in enlightenment, including the nature of personal control agency. The essence and origin of religion is the use of visionary plants to routinely trigger the intense mystic altered state, producing loose binding of cognitive associations. This loose cognitive binding then produces an experience of being controlled by frozen block-universe determinism with a single, pre-existing, ever-existing future. Experiencing this model of control and time initially destabilizes self-control power, and amounts to the death of the self that was conceived of as an autonomous control-agent. Self-control stability is restored upon transforming one's mental model to take into account the dependence of personal control on a hidden, separate thought-source, such as Necessity or a divine level that transcends Necessity. Myth describes this mystic-state experiential insight and transformation. Religious... See less

This could also be extended into the further world of Venom, not just attributed to snakes and reptiles. Do you believe that venom might have medicinal benefits for some ailments/diseases, in small doses, or does it ultimately do more harm than good to the individual? Might the ancients have been 'addicted' to this 'drug', much like we hear from the tales of 'White Powder Gold', or even Amanita Muscaria? Were they able to 'heal' with the serpent on a wide scale, and might this be ONE of the... See less

Realise Your Inner Potential is about spiritual development, which means that, ultimately, it is about kundalini. Kundalini is the primordial life force within all of us. In Indian teachings it is depicted as a coiled-up snake, which rears up when roused. It resides at the base of the spine, and the process of spiritual development is one in which kundalini is gradually stimulated, through spiritual practice, to travel up the spine. When it does so, it stimulates higher states of consciousness. The ultimate state of consciousness, achieved only when kundalini has completed its journey to the psychic centre, or chakra above the top of the head, is one of Union with God - or to use the Sanskrit term, Samadhi. Kundalini activity is continuous - we would not be alive without it - but significant rises of kundalini are powerful, life-changing experiences and are unmistakable. Through them we start to move into new exciting areas of life and spiritual awareness, we learn far more about... See less

Gary Slipper: The ritual of the Catholic church has always attracted me aesthetically: the seasonal color changes of the vestments, the smell of the incense and the beauty of the Latin mass.

Perhaps the most important personal choice you can make is to accept complete responsibility for everything you are and everything you will ever be. This is the great turning point in life. The acceptance of personal responsibility is what separates the superior person from the average person. Personal responsibility is the pre-eminent trait of leadership and the wellspring of high performance in every person, in every situation. The acceptance of complete responsibility for your life means that you refuse to make excuses or to blame others for anything in your life that you’re not happy about. You refuse, from this moment forward, to criticize others for any reason. You refuse to complain about your situation or about what has happened in the past. You eliminate all your “if only’s” and “what if’s” and focus instead on what you really want and where you are going. If you are not happy with any part of your life, say, “I am responsible” and get busy changing it. If something goes... See less
