Non Nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed Nomini Tuo da gloriam


“In arrogance, there is great ruin and great instability. In idleness, there is loss and dire poverty, for idleness is the mother of famine.”

Book of Tobit 4:13

“Do not keep with you overnight the wages of those who have worked for you, but pay them at once. … Be on guard, son, in everything you do; be wise in all that you say, and discipline yourself in all your conduct. Do to no man or woman what you hate yourself.”

Finding the Balance of Harmony

“The closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”

“In the light of fuller knowledge it
will be thought that the claim has lapsed,
or only remains as a pious belief
prevailing among an uncritical minority. …
Whose mental bias predisposes them
to the defense of exploded views.
In such a case, however,
an indiscriminate rejection
is not much less superficial
than an unenquiring acquiescence of a non-proven claim.
The history of debated questions
of this kind
teaches another lesson,
and the closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”

Equine Inactive Side of Infinity

the. “Slow Walk”

The Equine Inactive Side of Infinity

Refers to a stagnant mental process.

Infinity expands perpetually from one point in all directions.

Example of a Horse Stuck in the Inactive Side of Infinity:

A horse who slow-walks off of the track with the intention of being near other horses who are acting-up, therefore, giving them an excuse to act-up as well.

The Horse’s Reason for Doing This:

It Is Three-Pronged

Shepp’s Training Program

Which training method did Jonathan Sheppard employ?

When somebody complained how Jonathan Sheppard would never explain his training program to them, this was my response:

Well, some of us understood his training program which was essentially reverse-engineered in congruency with the horse’s running date, its condition, the competition it would be up against, along with the expectations of its upcoming performance while always keeping the race AFTER that performance in mind.

Inflation is a Lie.

We send, “money,” to Ukraine but send words to the Middle East. Imagine how foolish people are right now, believing that inflation is a real thing. Think about it: if we printed “too much” money, nobody would refuse it saying, “that money isn’t worth anything because there is too much it it.” … how STUPID are people to believe that “inflation,” is a cause and effect scenario? Inflation is simply lying about the value of a piece of paper and saying that a banana is worth more of those pieces of paper, as the result of having too many of those pieces of paper!

Snapshot

Mike Tyson on Fear

“’Cus used to get turned on when I told him that I was afraid and I might be a coward. He loved that. He knew that would feed into my fear base and he worked everything off fear. Cus wanted you to react like a robot so that when he said something, you’d do it on command. Cus showed me the difference between fear and intimidation. Being intimidated prevents you from performing at the highest level you’re capable of. But fear can help you ascend to great heights. ‘Be afraid of your opponent personally but don’t be afraid to hurt him,’ he told me. What people don’t realize is that when controlled properly fear can take you to a level of euphoria where you believe you’re invincible. Very few people can get to that level. But when you do, a weird aberration of nature takes place and you’re sent to a level of invincible proportion.’”

Path of the Righteous Horseman

It is accurate to say that all the Old School horsemen are all gone. Just as capitalism no longer guarantees freedom (for the middle class), working hard in aspiration of earning an adequately-compensatory wage deems to be in incongruence with sanity, according to the current, socioeconomic reality. The delegation of a man of higher caliber insists that his such sojourn be ambulated, or accompanied by, similarly-spirited, likely-educated and strongly-willed, gentile warriors of both the sword and the book.

PRINCES OF the SYMBOLIC JERUSALEM

“man may make the woods and mountains his Churches and Temples, and worship God with a devout gratitude, and with works of charity and beneficence to his fellow-men.”

“We no longer expect to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. To us it has become but a symbol. To us the whole world is God’s Temple, as is every upright heart. To establish all over the world the New Law and Reign of Love, Peace, Charity, and Toleration, is to build that Temple, most acceptable to God, in erecting which Masonry is now engaged. No longer needing to repair to Jerusalem to worship, nor to offer up sacrifices and shed blood to propitiate the Deity, man may make the woods and mountains his Churches and Temples, and worship God with a devout gratitude, and with works of charity and beneficence to his fellow-men. Wherever the humble and contrite heart silently offers up its adoration, under the overarching trees, in the open, level meadows, on the hill-side, in the glen, or in the city’s swarming streets; there is God’s House and the New Jerusalem.”

“Inhibition and freedom, tension and relaxation, are the tides of the orange chakra.”

What is Dynamic Tension?

“Dynamic Tension is the iron wire of Kung Fu, retaining the flow of Tao, as rocks give way to water, but only over time.”
-Chip Van Hassel

Dynamic Tension is a self-resistance exercise,
(or method,) which pits muscle against muscle.

The practitioner tenses the muscles of a given body part
and then
moves the body part against the tension
as if a heavy weight were being lifted

Neuro-Muscle Memory

Mental processes induce physical processes.
Example:
Being annoyed tenses muscles.
Allowing yourself to stew in annoyance creates muscle memory which becomes physically stressful.

A Dent of Deed

…”the body, the mind, the spirit,
flows as does water.”…

It starts with the in-breath and begins in the out-breath.
The continuous cycle is it’s own revolution,

Hardened by it’s own hardness,
the body, the mind, the spirit,
flows as does water.
Water can wear rock away
even though rock can stop water.
Perserverence of the flow
proves phusical changd-
Maybe just a dent,
