Acid Bit

By Dr. Edi Bilimoria

 Helena Petrovna Blavatskys (HPB) task was to act as a messenger to bring the knowledge that there is a Divine Wisdom Theo-sophia as the root and basis upon which all philosophies, sciences and religions are founded and which guides the cosmos, nature and human life.

This Divine Wisdom is variously known as the Ancient Wisdom, or Wisdom-Religion, or Esoteric Philosophy, or Perennial Philosophy, or Occult Science. All these terms allude to the fact that Theo-sophia is not a system of belief formulated by an individual, nor a religion in the ordinary meaning of the word denoting formalized worship and ritual; instead it is the accumulated wisdom of innumerable ages that has been systematically checked by generations of sages the world over.

What then is Occult Science?

It is a generic term referring to the Hermetic or Esoteric Sciences, which explore the essential, or hidden secrets of Nature physical and psychic, mental and spiritual rather than, but not excluding, Her outward appearance and mechanical behavior which Western science studies to virtual perfection.

For example, that Swedenborg came to the Occult teachings in his general conceptions is shown by his essay on the Vortical Theory.

HPBs message

As to the message that HPB brought: it is based on fundamental axioms formulated into three propositions that cannot be thought of independently from the whole, meaning that no aspect, no principle and no law can be properly considered in isolation: the Universe and all that is in it constitute a WHOLE.

Furthermore, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that these propositions are not the invention of HPB or anyone else. They form the basis of the presentation of the doctrines of the Divine Wisdom. Countless generations of sages have checked these doctrines by study as well as practical experience in a manner akin to the inductive method of science whereby a hypothesis put forward is checked by repeatable experiments and only when there is a sufficient corroboration between hypothesis and experimental verification is the former elevated to a theory.

In similar vein these sages have found the teachings enunciated to be in consonance with the overriding philosophy formulated by them. But it was HPB who synthesized the diverse and scattered fragments of this doctrine into a coherent system and body of knowledge made available for the first time to, and in a suitable idiom for, the Western world at large.

But it is as well to point out here HPBs counsel that no human-born doctrine, no creed, however sanctified by custom and antiquity, can compare in sacredness with the religion of Nature. The Key of Wisdom that unlocks the massive gates leading to the arcana of the innermost sanctuaries can be found hidden in her bosom only: and that bosom is in the countries pointed to by the great seer of the past century Emanuel Swedenborg. There lies the heart of nature, that shrine whence issued the early races of primeval Humanity, and which is the cradle of physical man.

The Cards of Destiny have dealt humankind a jewel beyond price in HPBs message of spiritual uplift and universal brotherhood to be attained by a knowledge of the eternal verities of our existence. Have we used this sublime gift with gratitude, understanding and love? Who is to say? All spiritual teachers are but messengers. They proffer no initiations and perform no miracles at our behest. All that they can do is to say, with H. P.Blavatsky: I can tell you how to find those who will show you the secret gateway that leads inward only, and closes fast behind the neophyte for evermore. For those who win onwards, there is reward past all telling: the power to bless and save humanity. For those who fail, there are other lives in which success may come.

Energy And Science On This Planet
By Alisha Dhamani

 Energy is central to achieving sustainable development goals. Some two billion people have no access to modern energy services. Energy makes everything happen and can be divided into two different types. Stored energy is called potential energy. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy efficient products and appliances. ENERGY STAR-labeled products save energy and money and protect the environment.

Energy is in everything. We use energy to do everything we do, from making a jump shot to baking our favorite cookies to sending astronauts into space — energy is there, making sure we have the power to do it all. Energy is the ability to do work. Energy is everywhere in nature-sunlight, wind, water, plants, and animals.

Wind can choose not to blow at the desirable speed. Alternative energy plants provide intermittent power supply, thus forcing us to store energy. Windmills may have even been developed in China before 1 AD, but the earliest written documentation comes from 1219.

Energy medicines are based upon variants of the metaphysical theory known as vitalism , a theory that has been dead in the West for over a century. New Age quackery often maintains that the older a theory is the more one should have faith in it.

Energy policy must make sense from a scientific (i.e. However the continued promotion of ethanol and coal-to-liquids calls for continued skepticism. Energy Northwest has been a leading power supplier to the Northwest public power community for 50 years. Headquartered just north of Richland, Washington, we provide electricity, at cost, to public power utilities and municipalities.

Energy and its uses (and misuses) are related to every penny spent on real estate investments, both large and small. REALTORS know this well: energy efficiency is a concern for many home and commercial property buyers as many recent surveys and studies confirm.

Energy is the capacity of a system to do work. That system may be a jet, carrying hundreds of passengers across the ocean. Energy is needed for heating, electricity , manufacturing, construction and transportation .

Since industrialization began over 200 years ago economic wealth has been immediately linked with access to fossil fuels for energy production, in the first instance coal, but more latterly oil and gas. Energy is a measure of how long we can sustain the output of power , or how much work we can do. Power is the rate at which we do the work.

Energy is transferred by work to an object or system when a force is exerted through a distance on that object or system. For a force to travel through a distance there has to be movement.

Energy is not a substance that can be held, seen, or felt as a separate entity. We cannot create new energy that is not already present in the universe. Energy is free; the human processes delivering energy according to our wants are not free.

Oil booms tend to raise expectations, and contribute to unrealistic projections of future income. This in turn leads to loss of control over public spending, including taking on high-cost public infrastructure projects, often financed with foreign borrowing.

Oil is a transportable commodity, so as far as prices are concerned it doesnt much matter whether the new capacity comes online in Alaska or in the Caspian Sea. It just isnt the case that we drop a well in the ground near Fairbanks, and prices at the pump drop the next day in Atlanta.

Help Your Child Read
By Jet Lee

 Teaching your chidren to read exposes them to more opportunities in life. They can go anywhere and do anything when they are engrossed in reading books. But in today’s age of iphones and video games usually the last thing our kids want to do is to learn to read. However, you can overcome your child’s disdain of learning with some fun and simple tricks. Implement some of these tips on a regular basis will start your kids down the path of learning and they’ll be reading in no time.

Example Is Better Than Preaching

You cannot expect your children to love something that you personally dislike.Yes, your kids are more perceptive than you might believe!. If you desire your kids to be prolific readers you have to be one too. It may be books, magazines, or even lovely coffee table books full of pictures. Just let them see you reading and try to read often together.

Reading to Your Children

Kids love being read aloud to. Cuddling up on the couch with a good book is a wonderful way to spend time with your child. Even older children like to be read to, especially while they are involved in other hands-on type activities.

Create A Reading Environment

Make a reading corner in your house.You can create a specific theme also. Fix up a comfortable location with beanbag chairs, or a large overstuffed pillow, a small bookcase. You won’t have to look far when they get quiet to find them.Encouraging them to read will also significantlyreduce the noise level in your home! Once they start using the place, you may find that your home is a lot quieter too!

Scatter Books Around the House

Always Leave books lying around. Place books in the bathroom, on their nightstands, in the living room and even in the kitchen. When they are bored they will pick them up out of curiosity.

Use a Library Card

Get them their own library card. Children love having their own library cards and checking out books they choose, on their own.

Got to the Library Often

Visit the library often. Schedule a regular library day, and just let them sit and read for a while in the library. Take advantage of your local library’s programs, such as story times, to help capture a child’s interest in books.Of course, if they see you doing the same, it will reinforce this habit.

Throw Out Book Teasers

Drop tantalizing hints about a book. Start reading one yourself that your children might like and “share” some tempting tidbits. When they want to know what happens - say , “Oh you will have to read it for yourself, you won’t believe it!”

Watch The Movie First

Watch a movie about a book. Then say, “I wonder how close that was to the book? Maybe we should read that.”

Make Your Own Books

Let them make their own books. Younger children especially love this. Something as simple as plain paper stapled together becomes a timeless treasure when they write their own stories. Let younger children tell you the story and you write it out and they illustrate it. And if they’re really good, you might be able to make a quick buck or two.

Your Success Tutor can help your kids with math help.
