A Bit Of Literature - Electrification & Inspiration Bit: Sep 24, 2007 3:35pm 2 reviews humor
http://www.inspirationbit.com/a-bit-of-literature-electrification/; From the page: "I had no idea, my dear man, she says, what a shabby life Ive been living.

I look at our bits and pieces. Not so great, I think. Foulness and filth. Rags of one kind and rags of another kind. All flooded with light and stating you in the eye.
So I start to get a bit down in the mouth, you might say, when I come back home in the evenings.
I come in. I switch on the light. I briefly admire the lamp, then bury my nose in the pillow.

Then I think again. I get my pay. I buy whitewash, I mix it up - and I set to work. I tear off wallpaper, I stamp out bedbugs, I sweep away cobwebs. I sort out the sofa. I paint, I adorn - my soul sings and rejoices."

Androgyny in Gnosticism: Sep 24, 2007 12:17pm 1 review history
http://www.gnosticliberationfront.com/androgyny_in_gnosticism.htm; As Aristophanes suggests in Plato's Symposium, since we are incarnated in this realm bound anatomically (usually) to one gender only, we tend to look outward to regain our lost wholeness. As social, gendered mammals this has a certain validity. But since we are also androgynous psyches or spirits, this validity is only one side of the paradox. Loving and bonding to others is a key part of our destiny, but we are not fully capable of this without a return to our inner wholeness. In the unfeminine squareness of the 1950s a man would stereotypically introduce his wife: "And here's the little woman, my better half." I never cease to be amazed at how revealing are the most seemingly simple of unconscious statements. The above introduction manages to be patronizingly undervaluing and sentimentally idealizing at the same time, as well as revealing the essential flaw in the relationship. Multiply two half-persons and you get a quarter not a whole.

http://www.childrenofthecode.org/interviews/shlain.htm; n this interview Dr. Shlain speculates that becoming alphabet literate masculinized our minds in ways that drove the rise of monotheistic religions, democracy, and science. He adds that this occurred at the expense of the holistic-feminine (hence the title of his best-selling book "The Alphabet vs. The Goddess").

http://cocreatingourreality.com/Site/Home.html; What would happen if you followed someone around for 100 days as they put Universal Laws & Principles into practice? Laws such as: the Law of Attraction, Law of Deliberate Creation and the Laws of Prosperity and Abundance. That was the initial inspiration behind Co-Creating Our Reality

Law of Attraction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Sep 18, 2007 9:57am 4 reviews self-improvement
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Attraction; From the page: "Believers in the theory cite a famous quotation from the Buddha as proof that the law of attraction is factual. Gautama Buddha, "What you have become is the result of what you have thought", is an expression of the idea that thoughts introduced into reality can attract like energy. In ancient Greece, as well, the pre-Socratic thinking of the Sophists stated partly that reality could be shaped by simple belief, that what we believe manifests itself as reality.[citation needed] It is also often alleged that the same idea can be found in beliefs as ancient as Hinduism."
