Essence: March 2011

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ESSENCE

"In philosophy, ESSENCE, is the atribute or set of attributes that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity. Essence is contrasted with accident: a property that the object or substance has contingently, without which the substance can still retain its identity. The concept orginates with Aristotle, who used the Greek expression to ti en einai, literally 'the what it was to be', or sometimes the shorter phrase to it esti, literally 'the what it is,' for the same idea. This phrase presented such difficulties for his Latin translators that they coined the word essentia to represent the whole expression. For Aristotle and his scholastic followers the motion of essence is closely linked to that of definition (horismos)."

Vulgan Mask

Delilah by Marcus Goodrich

The monk who knew Isla-Sulu well, wanted the Captain to proceed at once through the narrow break in the coral wall that served for entrance into the larger of the lagoons; but the Captain, smiling amicably, and breaking into the Pidgen English which served him as a sort of slang, and which he seemed to fall into whenever his natural disinclination for forcing his will upon people was unmasked by his friendliness or good humour, said that he wanted "to have a look see first". ...His probing encountered only the rounded, colourful implacabillity that the two conjoined atolls presented all along their cirumferences: But the tranquility seemed definitely malignant, -- like that which pervades a brilliant stalk of bananas in which lurks an aroused tarantula.

Warning

Reiki is a form of a Japanese spiritual healing whereby chi, or "life energy", is channelled, in the case of a headache treatment, through the practitioner's hands on to the head of the sufferer....so kids! Do NOT smoke!!!

When I turned- still squatting on the path, and covering my nakedness with my arms as best as I could- there stood Mr. Tanaka. I could hardly have been more embarrassed.

Dream

Hawaiians interpret dreams as a sign or ho'ailona. A dream is considered just as important as the information gathered during waking life in order to make decisions or find answers to problems. A dream could indicate the name of a child or the accomplishment of a goal, a warning of things good or bad to come. The deja vu of the modern world exists for many Hawaiians as an ordinary experience. In this way, a dream has provided an answer before the question or a glimpse of the future. It is also believed ancestors who have passed on into the spirit world can provide these messages, predictions and warnings in dreams.
