Radness The Philosopher’s Stone is not just a spiritual metaphor but an actual substance that can transmute lead or mercury into gold. The Stone is a product of Alchemy. Unlike chemistry, which only deals with physical matter and energy, Alchemy makes use of etheric and astral energies to reconfigure matter at the quantum level. Alchemy is to chemistry what a cube is to the square; it is a superset of chemistry and is capable of so much more. How Etheric Energy Overrides Physical Laws Alchemical achievements require successfully gathering, concentrating, and multiplying etheric energy. When this energy reaches a critical threshold, it overpowers the normal laws of physics and allows seemingly miraculous processes to take place. I believe it does this by biasing probability. By amplifying the probability of minor quantum effects, which are normally limited to the subatomic scale, they manifest on the larger atomic scale. In this way, one element spontaneously transforms into another. The world around us is made of subatomic particles that regularly undergo unpredictable jumps, teleportation, bilocation, superposition, and other strange quantum behaviors. Why don’t everyday solid objects do likewise? Because the random quantum jittering of their subatomic particles collectively average out to zero. Think of a large crowd of people; seen from the air, the crowd as a whole is stationary, even though individuals within the crowd move in seemingly random directions. It’s because their movements are random and uncoordinated that they average to zero net movement on the whole. The world we see around us is merely a crowd of subatomic particles whose individual quantum jumps aren’t apparent because they average to collective stillness. Physical laws that govern our everyday world, known as the deterministic laws of classical physics, are merely the laws of the crowd. These laws are what’s left of quantum physics after the unpredictability is removed through statistical averaging. They are not absolute laws; they are just the most probable manner in which matter and energy behave. Physical laws can be bent. While the probability is incredibly low that enough coordination and coherence develops among the quantum jitters to manifest on a collective scale, that is exactly what etheric energy does. It alters probability and thereby skews the laws of thermodynamics, gravity, electromagnetism, and chemistry. Alchemy does not violate the laws of physics, nor does it always follow them, rather it bends them as needed. It operates upon the quantum foundation from which these laws arise in the first place, via etheric energy affecting the probability of quantum events.

qualitative analysis
Adulthood is never initiated on a birthday, the obligation to pay the bills, or even the freedom to eat those two desserts, but rather when you realize that childhood has been terminated—the stage where you sigh and suppose that magic was just an illusion when you finally see how the real world operates.

They say this. We do that. They do this. We say that. Characteristic differences. We live here. They live there. They live there. We live here. Break down the walls. And watch the ways problems disappears. They know us. We know them. They think this. They think that. Characteristic differences. Wrtie down on paper. And notice the same situation. We operates around illusion of what we think we know. Until you in the same room. And notice the many things in common. Yes, characteristic differences.

Characteristic Differences
What's wrong with the people and their religion? People are living like they have no religion. I think the whole world is addicted to the drama. Only attracts religious hatred and to things that'll bring you trauma. but if you only have love and respect for your own religion Then you only leave space for discrimination And discrimination only generates hate And when you hate then you're bound to get irate. From overseas we try to stop foreign influence that break our unity and smile for each other. But we still got racists here with no common sense. Why forget the fact we all belong to the same mother? Madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how anger works and operates. We all need love to get it straight! Take control of your mind and meditate and let your soul gravitate! Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and others too. Let the religions unity and love flow! Open your eyes and awake! You all are Sri Lankans for God's sake!

Where is the unity?
******* hoes, crazy, ***** Catch me on a friday night, and I might say them all. But what I say and what I feel is a different thing. Because ******* hoes, womps, don't have vocabularies like boulders. They can't destroy. And with a new mindset, I can say a few things. A ***** is a girl without hope. A *** is a girl that likes **** and doesn't like love. A crazy one is a girl that gets by. A **** is a girl that doesn't know the difference between the three and operates on a thin line; because ******* have treated her like **** and no new ****** can make her think any different. But a girl, alas a girl. A girl is full of love and platitudes. A girl has her hands on your heart all the time. She has a vocabulary and says **** a Webster's because she's got a new dictionary that didn't even exist before she let it out her mouth. A girl makes you re-define the word love, with all its futile resentment and disenchantment, because she'll keep you coming back for more, even as she says "no, you're talking crazy, you gotta go." So trust me when I say this, I could **** with a girl's head before, but this girl she's maneuvered me into thinking about how ****** up I really am. And that's as smart as I've ever been.

If you can make it through the first few lines, you can make it through me.
like a vase i dropped her on the floor. i'm not sure if i can put her back together. she won't be the same but i have a feeling she has been broken apart and put back together. you can't trust a man who operates a bulldozer to be a good builder. they say "things have to fall to make way for better things"; i dare not say this to her, she might think i did it on purpose. i don't trust myself to not drop her again after i've put her back together. i've thought about handing her over to someone else to piece back together; i don't trust anyone will know exactly where each piece has to go. you can easily replace a broken vase, unlike people.

Whether it's an eight/twelve hours or more shift. I SALUTE all men and women that daily places their life in danger. Behind walls of correctional institution enhancing rules and regulation to inmates. Of course you find that familiar one professing like it's an honor to be called convict. Over phases of offender or inmate. Unlike those street enforcers with weapons. The only one you have is your vocal tones to control. A prayer said daily, if you are of faith to calm your day. Hold truth that any second, minute anything might happen. While many families failed to comprehend you didn't make their child apart of the correctional system. That was their child decision. It takes strength and fearlessness to operate behind fences. To be that honest officer following the rules. For even some co-workers eventually ends up behind these same various walls. RESPECT is an earned trade and trait. Like your word is your bond. But in a place that operates twenty four seven. Your work is never done. So to all correctional officers I SALUTE YOU!

Correctional Officer Tribute
death is make-up for the interview.  when I get to my mother I plan to visit the city.  I hear a gang of young girls operates there trafficking middle aged men who act old.  I hear what I want when I delete emails.  I lost not touching my mother soon after she stopped being an actress.  she fled my father who at the time was known as her live-in stunt double.  I put my fist in the air and waited.  some told me I was being cinematic.  still some told me I was being cinematic.

Astral architecture hangs on the balance of my once fragile mind, now unbound and open to the potential of the Penrose Stairs that I climb. Infinity, I thought, was an innate idea man was not meant to understand, because if the universe is in fact infinite, into what does it expand? Standing at the precipice of epiphany, teetering at the very cusp of clarity, it came to me in a monumental moment of sibylline singularity: It expands into itself. The thought was too profound to perceive, too ravenous to be satiated. Could this be at long last, the answer for which I have waited? I realized that consciousness operates under a similar uniformity: the brain won't outgrow the head, but the mind will outgrow the body, and our echoes will radiate across the endlessness of existence, for all our forgotten frequencies are oblivious to the concept of distance. We are all limitless beneath the veil of this perceived reality, but only there are we human, and only then are we free.

The gears of industry were turning here in the land of wine and covered bridges. Once upon a time there was a trainwreck here a lot of people lost their lives even more lost their way as time rusted over the wheels of progress and our water once so full of hope and prosperity caught fire and burned for miles in all directions scorching the water, and suffocating the fish Today this is "the river of much pollution" We have always known it as such A town were depression is both a hereditary emotional and economic condition Where pessimism is our only tradition The train station no longer operates The free man's grandchildren's children are up before the birds trying to find a way to kickstart their high chasing the American Delusion "Ashtabula does not have a drug problem" The police told a friend of mine as her two year old daughter looked on curiously at a strung out stranger who wandered into their home and took their bathroom hostage for two hours He shook uncontrollably His eyes overflowing with emptiness By the time the cops showed up, he was long gone tossed back into the river The fish in this water have nothing to lose If evolution is true, we can sprout legs and lungs crawl onto dry land and breathe but the current prevents it here It's hard to see the glass as half full when you can't drink the water I suppose we could drink the wine instead and stumble inside of a bridge seeking shelter from the toxic rain

He sweats when he poops, Not just any old **** A **** of glory, A **** of a lifetime. The kind of **** that jacks your heart rate, The kind of **** that makes you breathe heavy, A **** so intense that your bowels moan, And generate a need to remove your shirt. The cold, yet intense sweats of this **** Cramps in the lower abdomen, sharp and warm, The sweet relief of tension, when that one big log comes out, All hot and steamy. Followed by a stream of liquidy brown, He wonders how his body even operates, The unholiness of what exits through, That holiest of holes, next to the birth stump and boulders. Pondering the consumption of two nights before, He sits bare-assed on this porcelain mouth, Ingesting every bit of solids, liquids and gasses, That exit from his **** canal. Clothes tossed onto the floor, His ******* harden from the unpleasant draft, Caused by the perspired glands, That shiver from trauma and nightly air.

The Naked *******
While most people are familiar with the principle of ‘sowing and reaping’, it can be difficult to distinguish between Fact and Fiction; gleaning the Truth sometimes takes time, so that the authentic and the fake can… be properly separated. Sad jealousies are found when the evil works of Man bloom against the stark contrast of God’s reality; seeing the good and bad, subtly reinforces our understanding of the wheat and tares; let us be glad, in knowing how God divinely operates; in Him, we can move and have our being when our Faith is extended on behalf of His Kingdom; when we are agreeing with His Word, it’s easier to love and care for others regularly, as we must; will people observe us as His Children, if we’re not placing in God… our trust?

Poem: Wheat and Tares
We, all yearn for that type that others likes. To men, it's the trophy on their arms. To women, it's the pretty man will all the charm. And with both. We find love might not be involved. And when pushed for this truth. We goes into self denial. Many good looking people lives a insecure existence. Even, they ponder if they are being used. But many play the game of acting. Especially , if money is a factor. But, when pushed for truth to this comment. We see self denial. If women are called goldiggers. Then men deserves to be linked to flim flam. They both operates behind a plan. And yes. When pushed for truth. We see self denial as prove. Except, we can see beyond the facade. We know, we all can't get our way.

Self Denial
I make trips to the corner store, at 12 in the morning. Calling all cars to get the **** out of the road, I'm swerving. Calling all lights, blink and be gone. Streetlights, stoplights, lamps, lighters, blunt tips, cigarette butts, all lights be gone. Dear Earth, get low in the darkness. On my first trip, I was accosted by rabid dogs who drooled shoelaces and I could tell they were being hounded by the kilter of their angry maws and sawed-off minds. They barked like guns. And they saw me--completely irrelevant--- popping caps off Lokos taking sips that could **** up an Orca, completely swimming. I had to kick them home. At work today, Someone got caught stealing five pesos worth of food, and got threatened with a felony, but they've got some lint in their pocket, and knew how to keep it cool. My girlfriend operates in ideas. I've been at work for so long, that I yell and walk around, like I'm in the shower.

Uniform displeasure with life.
Shortened by your own expectations to a son, whose a workhorse. who's under the shade of others, ill and hidden under the rocks. Under dog they say does not brag any stellar milestone he's been in, giving all the drastic efforts but still gray and merely unseen. Questioned himself when he learned the term "black sheep" Child in the heart, strong, operates at his own risks. of epic proportions and stars he sees but only to himself, hidden angst and questions to his own blood, kept in the inner skirts of his chest. A son, whose emerging, underrated with his dreams. a follower of the art waiting until dawn, forever it seems.

The Wayward Son
I'm sure, its psychological just besides physical. Cause I get so emotional just talking about her. I don't need to pay anyone to analyze me. For I'm very aware of, what ailing me? Love always been a controlling form of humanity. Where one tries to dictate a variety of things? So, I write. Write what about her keeps pulling me into her drama. She's my woman. More than a so called baby mama. Just the term alone seems completely dumb. It's not suiting to anyone. Which makes it psychological to those that know me. The mind operates like a computer screen. Never aware when it will crash.

‘The time has come,’ he heard them say Outside his tiny cell, ‘Go in and get the beast to pray To save his soul from Hell.’ The Priest then walked up to the bars And stated his intent, ‘Will you confess at last, my son? Will you, at last, repent?’ ‘The only thing that I repent,’ The prisoner said at last, While staring at the Priestly face At length, through double glass, ‘Is how your justice operates, Your Judge sits on his bench, Determines guilt before the trial And brooks no argument.’ ‘You have been tried by twelve and true Your jurors had their say, Condemned you as a murderer Before they walked away.’ ‘They would have found me innocent Had he not been precise, And sent them back to change their view, Not only once, but twice.’ ‘The law’s the law,’ the Priest replied, ‘The verdict said it’s you, You had your day in court, and now You’ll have to pay your due.’ ‘I’m innocent,’ the prisoner said, ‘I swear it before God!’ ‘Take not his name in vain, my son, It’s time to reck his rod.’ ‘Your God is just an ornament To keep us fools in check, If he were real, he’d swoop on down And break the Judge’s neck. The only God is in my heart And he knows everything, He welcomes us, the innocent, Hypocrisy is sin.’ ‘You risk your soul,’ the priest replied, ‘So hold your tongue in check, For soon it will be silenced as The rope, it breaks your neck.’ ‘How many Nuns have you despoiled, How many children died, How many now lie buried, spread Across the countryside?’ ‘You hide behind your surplice, and Your cassock and your gown, You say you represent him, but In fact, you put him down. You tie us up with ritual And steal our Peter’s Pence, Then hide your sins by making all The laity repent.’ ‘I’ve had enough,’ the Priest replied, Then turned and stepped aside, The gaolers tied his hands and feet And shuffled him outside, They dragged him to the gallows and Put on the dreaded hood, But still he called, ‘Repent yourself, Oh Priest! You know you should!’ It barely took a minute for The rope and then the drop, And then just twenty seconds for His beating heart to stop, The Priest’s thin hands had trembled As he walked out in the cold, And prayed, not for the prisoner, But for his own poor soul. His sins lay heavy on him as He walked up to the nave, Then knelt before the altar asking God, his soul to save, But God was strangely silent And the Priest had felt like dross, The morning saw him hanging From the altar’s Holy Cross.

The only God is in my heart And he knows everything, He welcomes us, the innocent, Hypocrisy is sin.’ ‘You risk your soul,’ the priest replied, ‘So hold your tongue in check, For soon it will be silenced as The rope, it breaks your neck.’ ‘How many Nuns have you despoiled, How many children died, How many now lie buried, spread Across the countryside?’ ‘You hide behind your surplice, and Your cassock and your gown, You say you represent him, but In fact, you put him down. You tie us up with ritual And steal our Peter’s Pence, Then hide your sins by making all The laity repent.’ ‘I’ve had enough,’ the Priest replied, Then turned and stepped aside, The gaolers tied his hands and feet And shuffled him outside, They dragged him to the gallows and Put on the dreaded hood, But still he called, ‘Repent yourself, Oh Priest! You know you should!’ It barely took a minute for The rope and then the drop, And then just twenty seconds for His beating heart to stop, The Priest’s thin hands had trembled As he walked out in the cold, And prayed, not for the prisoner, But for his own poor soul. His sins lay heavy on him as He walked up to the nave, Then knelt before the altar asking God, his soul to save, But God was strangely silent And the Priest had felt like dross, The morning saw him hanging From the altar’s Holy Cross.

Some of us have needs. That we can't admit to ourselves. It's that pride that keeps on hurting ourselves. Some of us have wants. That's not important to life. It's that greed that drives us to want too much. I need you. This is surrounded by truth. Me without you. Is similar to love without a feeling. I need you. Truth comes from me admitting it. Self denial sounds good. Self denial sounds great. But that's where stupidity operates. And we all have made stupid mistakes.

I Need You
Many live in this falsehood of truth. Pretending to be something they are not. When faced with truth and reality. They still refuses to be set free. The pretenders. Trying to be, what they are not? Many we notice exactly in church. Respecting God world isn't requesting too much. The pretenders. They operates within the business world. Trying to fit an image to enhance them. The pretenders. Just one step from admitting they are poor. Notice the happiest people seems to be those with less. Because the riches of the rich seems to living in a nightmare. We laugh. We're amazed that many keeps fooling themselves. But we know failure they can't simply accept. All because they been pretending so much. The pretenders. Who forget in this world they have a important worth?

The Pretenders
The waves of the ocean come and go After a dark night, the sun will glow The Law of Cycles operates everywhere on earth And so, after we die, we come back in a Rebirth What is the cause of this human birth? What was the reason we came to earth? We didn't decide where and when we were born It was our Karma that sounded the horn Therefore, when we see a child born blind We ask, 'Is God unjust; is He so unkind?' No, God isn't unkind, our Karma is the cause We will Realize the Truth of birth, if we pause As we sow, so shall we reap On earth if we sin, we sure will weep Such is the law, what we give, we get Apples won't grow on a mango tree, that is a bet The Law of Karma is a Universal Law It makes no mistake, it has no flaw Not only does it work everywhere on earth Even after death, it causes our Rebirth Death is certain, everybody must die Nobody can escape, not you, nor I But what is death, is it the final end? No, it is not, it is just a bend The body dies, it is burnt to dust But the one who was alive, leaves like a gust Don't we say that he passed away? But where does he go, can anybody say? We are sure that the one who died left Otherwise, our loved ones would have the body kept But who is the one that has left the body behind? Is it ME, the Ego and the Mind? The body is just an instrument to act The mind and ego direct it, that's a fact The body is born, and the body must die But the mind and ego, escape in the sky But where do the mind and ego go? What happens after the end of the show? To settle their Karma, they must return to earth There is no other option, but to take rebirth Is it true that we go to heaven and hell? These fairy tales cast a spell! Heaven and hell are not far away in the stars We return to earth, to settle our scars And so, the cycle goes on and on We live, we die, and we are Reborn As long as we live as this body and mind The mind will be Reborn, the body left behind But when we achieve our ultimate goal When we realize we are the Divine Soul Then, from Rebirth, we are free And one with our Lord, forever we will be But how can we become one with our Lord? To escape from Rebirth and unite with God When we overcome our ignorance and Realize the Truth Then, we don't plant seeds, there will be no shoot As long as seeds of Karma we plant Escaping from Rebirth we just can’t The body will die when it has no breath But we will return after our death As long as we are ignorant, we will be Reborn There is no other option, but a body to adorn But once we realize we are not the body, ego, or mind We are free from Karma and rebirth, we will find We have two options at the moment of death Either we will be Reborn as we lose our breath But if we realize we are the Divine Soul We will Unite with God, our Ultimate Goal So today, the mystery of Rebirth let us solve To Realize the Truth, let us resolve And be free from the triple suffering on earth To become one with God, not return in a Rebirth Let us realize we are not the body and mind The body will die and mind will rewind All the actions that it has done Will transfer to a new life that’s begun But if we Realize we are not the doer of action Then of course there will be no reaction Then we will be from Karma free And not have to be Reborn, we agree For Rebirth is only for the one who does Who lives as the ego and makes a fuss But one who lives as the Divine Soul He is free, achieves the Ultimate Goal This is the purpose of our life on earth To live as Soul and be free from Rebirth To Realize the Truth as we live and die And to become one with the Lord in the sky

The traffic grid operates smoothly and seriously Forwards and back, in rows and columns Directions painted in asphalt, and hung from poles The road's instructions are obeyed unflinchingly All these drivers are too serious to do otherwise As they rush off to their serious lives The doctors are serious The lawyers are serious The cleaners are serious The gardeners are serious It seems everyone is serious but me In the park, reading Kerouac against a tree.
