The heart is called Yi [unified power] becuz when intent moves, spirit is agitated; qi is dispersed. Qi is the Mother of spirit; Spirit is the child of qi. The Mother as qi is the horse that guides/conducts the river chariot (yin spirit) in the water (yin jing). Once your mind is away from the lower Elixir Field, your Qi will be led away from it and be consumed. By gathering the Shen into the lower tan tien then the Qi follows it there. Light of eyes descend as Yang fire inner yin qi line

Taoist Yoga: alchemy and immortality ..."For human beings are nothing but the gathering of ch'i: they live whenever the ch'i concentrates, they die when the ch'i disperses. Nothing is more abominable to Chuang-tzu than "governing the world," since Tao in the form of yin-yang unity is the origin of everything and exercises supreme dominion over the human and cosmic worlds....the unity of yin and yang result in harmony, and that through this unity things are produced. A comparable insight is to be found in Heraclitus: "Harmony consists of opposing tension, like that of the bow and lyre." Thaddesu T'ui-chieh Hang, Taipei, "The Unity of Yin and Yang: A Philosophical Assessment" for Anaximander: the heavenly bodies uttered a flute-like whistle and the circles that carry the stars have "flute-like" pipes with breathing holes through which the fire bursts forth when they are not blocked up. It seems certain that the pressurized fiery vapour escaping from these [ancient Greek] must make sounds or notes that reflect the size and diameter of the pipe, rather like the sound of huge pan pipes played across the dark and misty heavens. The Void of Parmenides as Apeiron is the Siren that creates the energy of the Stars as the Hearth or Air that Feeds off the Light of the Universe To become a Pythagorean he studied your gait and emotions and if you passed then he studied you for three years. Only then could you be accepted to train in five years of silence but you still could not actually see Pythagoras yet. After five years then you were allowed to speak to Pythagoras but still only from behind a veil with him hidden. Xenocrates (4th Century BCE) followed Pythagorean tradition in defining the substance of the soul as 'number moving itself',24 and this on its own suggests that the fragment may be authentic to him.
A fascinating article op-ed on Montana updating it's state constitution to protect the environment.
Under this theory, per legal historian Kermit Hall, “The U.S. Supreme Court, interpreting the Bill of Rights, sets the minimum floor for rights, while state supreme courts, interpreting their state bill of rights, fix the ceiling.” That’s precisely what the Montana First Judicial District Court did — it looked to the state’s bill of rights, which mandates that “the state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations,” and interpreted that right to afford Montanans protection against the state legislature’s attempt to prevent environmental agencies from considering greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts when making certain regulatory decisions.
Since my dad was the Chief Deputy Attorney General of Minnesota for a year - and buddies with a Federal appeals court justice - I find the above analysis fascinating. Wouldn't that require the revocation of charters of corporations causing undue harm to the environment? Yet Montana is largely considered a "national sacrifice zone"
Southeastern Montana has historically been referenced in energy and environmental policy discussions as a "national sacrifice area" or sacrifice zone due to intensive federal and private push for coal extraction, strip-mining, and power generation
So when I look up Professor Ken Frazier I find he is a big part of the "Abundance Institute" promoting Nukes and AI!! Then he is a member of the Federalist Society - a pro-corporate fascist Agenda 2025 political movement. AI says:
Critics argue that despite its non-lobbying status, the Federalist Society functions as an elite gatekeeper and pipeline for conservative judicial appointments, successfully helping shape a multi-decade conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court and numerous lower federal courts. [1, 2, 3]
Pro-Corporate and Deregulatory Outcomes: Opponents frequently point out that the jurisprudence promoted by its network has consistently favored corporate deregulation, weakened labor and environmental protections, and expanded executive and corporate power, leading critics to label its agenda pro-corporate. [1, 2] Connection to Authoritarianism and Project 2025: While Project 2025 was principally authored and directed by the Heritage Foundation rather than the Federalist Society itself, both organizations share overlapping networks of conservative legal strategists. Critics argue that the legal theories championed by the society—such as an expansive view of the unitary executive theory—provide the intellectual and judicial groundwork for plans to reclassify civil servants and centralize unchecked power in the executive branch
I rest my case.

Limerick and Galway all had a high level of dependency on external relief
agencies,....disbandment of public works in Limerick... general state of lawlessness existed in Limerick....The Limerick Reporter described emigration as ‘an evil without parallel, except that presented by the wild excesses of those exterminating tyrants who glory in eliminating the people from the soil."....the Select Committee on Colonisation from Ireland in 1847, which resulted in Limerick, along with Dublin, becoming one of the chief
ports for landlord-assisted emigration in Ireland...the authorities should promote emigration to the colonies...Most economists agreed that Ireland suffered from chronic ‘overpopulation’,
but they disagreed on the practicability of addressing the problem through emigration....state assistance for emigration during the Irish Famine....assisted hundreds of people to emigrate from west Limerick between 1838 and 1858....the amount of surplus labour was enormous, and inordinary times labourers were only employed for approximately 140 days of the year. He stated that he believed that an official scheme of emigration was the only possible solution to the distress.
So that is when my ancestors left Limerick!!
So my ancestors were encouraged to leave Limerick with elite funding! Wow....
hundreds of incarcerated men forced to work for free as part of the “Hoe Squad” at the Cummins Unit, the Arkansas Division of Correction’s (ADC) oldest and largest prison.
“I’m on my hands and knees, and I’m planting onions in this field. I looked up and the only thing that I could see was white men on horses with shotguns, and as I looked around me, all I could see in my mind were Black men on their knees planting onions. We were literally slaves.”

There are currently more than 660 prisons in the U.S. with agricultural operations,... making prisons $10 million a year in crop production sold to Tyson, etc.
The state first bought the Cummins property in 1902 to operate as Arkansas’ first working prison farm. From the time of its opening until the 1930s, the prison solely incarcerated Black Americans, who were required to pick cotton.
Before it was the Cummins Unit, the prison was the site of two plantations. In 1873, eight years after slavery ended, Arkansas codified a convict-lease system that allowed individuals and companies to pay the prison to “lease” incarcerated people to work in factories and mines and on farms and railroads. The workers were not compensated for their labor.
I was just hauling brush with my neighbor and I noticed his boots looked precisely the same as the Ozark Trail boots (vid review) I just got at Goodwill for $12. Those Ozark Trail Meadow boots are sold by Walmart for $40. But the sole and design looks exactly the same as the Vasque boots by Redwing. Wow. They're both made in China. One has "label" soles (Vibram) and "label" leather - but are they really that different?
modern Vasque technical footwear lines like the Talus are manufactured overseas in Asian production facilities, including China and Vietnam

The Vasque Talus AT UltraDry utilizes premium components like waterproof Nubuck leather and high-traction Vibram Mega Nuasi outsoles. Ozark Trail models use basic split-grain or synthetic leather and generic rubber lug soles to keep retail costs minimal. [1]

Donald Trump is identified as Doe 174 in unsealed court documents from a 2015 civil lawsuit involving Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. An analysis of the federal court docket entries tied the pseudonym to Trump, whose name appears in the related unsealed deposition transcripts...
In March 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice released three previously withheld FBI 302 interview memos detailing four 2019 interviews with an accuser (referred to in court contexts as Jane Doe 4) who alleged she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein and sexually assaulted by Donald Trump as a minor.
The unidentified woman told FBI agents that she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein starting at age 13 in the 1980s, alleging that Donald Trump physically and sexually assaulted her during encounters when she was between 13 and 15 years old.
Sarah Ransome settled against Epstein and Ransome reported that Donald Trump regularly abused at Epstein's NYC mansion. So the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Ransome got threats against her and her family when she said there are videotapes. She fled to the UK and rescinded her retraction that she explained was solely due to the threats against her and her family. The corporate media has ignored this credible witness Sarah Ransome speaking out against Donald Trump as a regular abuser at Epstein's NYC mansion.
