Dagon

Here is an interpretation of it. http://www.koausa.org/Gods/God9.html The unclad body covered with ashes: the unclad body symbolizes the transcendental aspect of the Lord. Since most things reduce to ashes when burned, ashes symbolize the physical universe. The ashes on the unclad body of the Lord signify that Shiva is the source of the entire universe which emanates from Him, but He transcends the physical phenomena and is not affected by it. Matted locks: Lord Shiva is the Master of yoga. The three matted locks on the head of the Lord convey the idea that integration of the physical, mental and spiritual energies is the ideal of yoga. Ganga: Ganga (river Ganges) is associated with Hindu mythology and is the most sacred river of Hindus. According to tradition, one who bathes in Ganga (revered as Mother Ganga) in accordance with traditional rites and ceremonies on religious occasions in combination with certain astrological events, is freed from sin and attains knowledge, purity and peace. Ganga, symbolically represented on the head of the Lord by a female (Mother Ganga) with a jet of water emanating from her mouth and falling on the ground, signifies that the Lord destroys sin, removes ignorance, and bestows knowledge, purity and peace on the devotees. The crescent moon: is shown on the side of the Lord's head as an ornament, and not as an integral part of His countenance. The waxing and waning phenomenon of the moon symbolizes the time cycle through which creation evolves from the beginning to the end. Since the Lord is the Eternal Reality, He is beyond time. Thus, the crescent moon is only one of His ornaments, and not an integral part of Him. Three eyes: Lord Shiva, also called Tryambaka Deva (literally, "three-eyed Lord"), is depicted as having three eyes: the sun is His right eye, the moon the left eye and fire the third eye. The two eyes on the right and left indicate His activity in the physical world. The third eye in the center of the forehead symbolizes spiritual knowledge and power, and is thus called the eye of wisdom or knowledge. Like fire, the powerful gaze of Shiva's third eye annihilates evil, and thus the evil-doers fear His third eye. Half-open eyes: when the Lord opens His eyes, a new cycle of creation emerges and when He closes them, the universe dissolves for creation of the next cycle. The half-open eyes convey the idea that creation is going through cyclic process, with no beginning and no end. Lord Shiva is the Master of Yoga, as He uses His yogic power to project the universe from Himself. The half-open eyes also symbolize His yogic posture. Kundalas (two ear rings): two Kundalas, Alakshya (meaning "which cannot be shown by any sign") and Niranjan (meaning "which cannot be seen by mortal eyes") in the ears of the Lord signify that He is beyond ordinary perception. Since the kundala in the left ear of the Lord is of the type used by women and the one in His right ear is of the type used by men, these Kundalas also symbolize the Shiva and Shakti (male and female) principle of creation. Snake around the neck: sages have used snakes to symbolize the yogic power of Lord Shiva with which He dissolves and recreates the universe. Like a yogi, a snake hoards nothing, carries nothing, builds nothing, lives on air alone for a long time, and lives in mountains and forests. The venom of a snake, therefore, symbolizes the yogic power. A snake (Vasuki Naga): is shown curled three times around the neck of the Lord and is looking towards His right side. The three coils of the snake symbolize the past, present and future - time in cycles. The Lord wearing the curled snake like an ornament signifies that creation proceeds in cycles and is time dependent, but the Lord Himself transcends time. The right side of the body symbolizes the human activities based upon knowledge, reason and logic. The snake looking towards the right side of the Lord signifies that the Lord's eternal laws of reason and justice preserve natural order in the universe. Rudraksha necklace: Rudra is another name of Shiva. Rudra also means "strict or uncompromising" and aksha means "eye." Rudraksha necklace worn by the Lord illustrates that He uses His cosmic laws firmly - without compromise - to maintain law and order in the universe. The necklace has 108 beads which symbolize the elements used in the creation of the world. Varda Mudra: the Lord's right hand is shown in a boon- bestowing and blessing pose. As stated earlier, Lord Shiva annihilates evil, grants boons, bestows grace, destroys ignorance, and awakens wisdom in His devotees. Trident (Trisula): a three-pronged trident shown adjacent to the Lord symbolizes His three fundamental powers (shakti) of will (iccha), action (kriya) and knowledge (jnana). The trident also symbolizes the Lord's power to destroy evil and ignorance. Damaru (drum): a small drum with two sides separated from each other by a thin neck-like structure symbolizes the two utterly dissimilar states of existence, unmanifest and manifest. When a damaru is vibrated, it produces dissimilar sounds which are fused together by resonance to create one sound. The sound thus produced symbolizes Nada, the cosmic sound of AUM, which can be heard during deep meditation. According to Hindu scriptures, Nada is the source of creation. Kamandalu: a water pot (Kamandalu) made from a dry pumpkin contains nectar and is shown on the ground next to Shiva. The process of making Kamandalu has deep spiritual significance. A ripe pumpkin is plucked from a plant, its fruit is removed and the shell is cleaned for containing the nectar. In the same way, an individual must break away from attachment to the physical world and clean his inner self of egoistic desires in order to experience the bliss of the Self, symbolized by the nectar in the Kamandalu. Nandi: the bull is associated with Shiva and is said to be His vehicle. The bull symbolizes both power and ignorance. Lord Shiva's use of the bull as a vehicle conveys the idea that He removes ignorance and bestows power of wisdom on His devotees. The bull is called Vrisha in Sanskrit. Vrisha also means dharma (righteousness). Thus a bull shown next to Shiva also indicates that He is the etemal companion of righteousness. Tiger skin: a tiger skin symbolizes potential energy. Lord Shiva, sitting on or wearing a tiger skin, illustrates the idea that He is the source of the creative energy that remains in potential form during the dissolution state of the universe. Of His own Divine Will, the Lord activates the potential form of the creative energy to project the universe in endless cycles. Cremation ground: Shiva sitting in the cremation ground signifies that He is the controller of death in the physical world. Since birth and death are cyclic, controlling one implies controlling the other. Thus, Lord Shiva is revered as the ultimate controller of birth and death in the phenomenal world.

That is awesome! All that little adds up

That is very interesting. I have never personally noticed that! Thanks for sharing.

It is no trouble at all. I had plenty of spare time and you helped to occupy my mind

These guys have some nice tried and true Do it Yourself video's! DIY SOLAR PANELS!

Here is another one that would defy these laws. There are many claims of these, but I can't verify. It is quite controversial.

Here is a similar thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4qjZocje0c&feature=related Please realize this goes against the laws of thermodynamics, and I personally can't verify what they claim is true.

He has the exact construction in a video somewhere but I can't find where. I believe it is copper, then aluminum, then plastic of sorts, then a magnet. The rollers are also seperate pieces and similar to the center ring. I'll keep looking to see if I can find it!

Once the energy is solved, this could be utilized as a means of transportation He's like working on the next part, hehe.

2 guys walked into a bar. The other one ducked.

We also know that when matter comes into contact with anti-matter there is vast amounts of energy that is released, so how could it possible keep from detonating within the universe of matter without a sort of mediator?

What we do know is that for every particle of matter that exists there should also be an anti-particle, although that doesn't appear to be evident in the universe around use as currently percieved. Therefore for every sun, there should exist an anti-sun.

"Dark matter is matter that does not emit light. The dust halos around galaxies are comprised of expelled hydrogen and helium gas that is not luminous. Therefore it is called dark matter." It is not proven that Dark matter is matter. Such is the limitations of science for now. Only theory exists in this regard.

Does anyone like to watch these? I like them because there is a lot of things that relate to kundalini and awakening and enlightenment, etc. Sure it's fiction, but I find it entertaining at times heres a link you can watch it for free, 24/7 it seems. http://www.justin.tv/tvh2643#/w/1112766256/3

Same to you sir.

Ok Stan the man! I'll give someone else a chance

Hehehehe, I hope you get it fixed ok Atleast you have another shower!

There was once a time I would have welcomed the invitation to a bar room brawl. I would have punched him the 1st chance I got and jumped on the other guy. I now know that no-good would come of it, even in an altered state. I would only have resentment and regret regardless of the outcome.

I had an inceident the other day when I was at the bar mingling with people. One guy was getting out of hand and giving the bar owner a hard time. I back up the owner and explained to the hooligan that the bar owner was telling him to leave so he should just leave. Shortly after that two guys confront me at the same time like they are going to jump me. I try to be assertive and tell them I have no problem with them and ask why they are looking to jump me. The bigger guy that I had never seen in my life or even talked to says that I said I was going to punch him in the jaw. I was like wtf, I don't even know you or have I talked to you. I tell him I was just getting the owners back, I'm not looking for a problem but it appears that he is. I tell them I was simply intervening and trying to keep the peace so that everyone can have a good time. Fortunately another guy I barely knew stook up for me before things got out of hand and went to violence. I am not one to start a fight, but I will defend myself. This other kid was there, with his head always hanging down, he didn't speak a lick of english, although I was trying to communicate as well as a drunk guy could, and giving him someone to talk to as well as trying to better my own spanish. he called me over to sit down and talk, so I did, and the other guys dropped it. By the end of the night the guys appologized to me and made peace which I was happy to accept the appology and make peace. They have a giant Oak door to the bathroom that I punched full force to relieve some of the aggression that I was feeling before that, and had a bruised knuckles the next day. I don't go out very often, but I do sometimes, and it irks me that there are people who want to destroy the peace. I still don't know how that guy got it in his head that I was going to punch him in the jaw. I guess it's a risk you take going to the bar, it wasn't the best turn-out, but better than it could have turned out. I drank far too much that night. I actually knew ahead of time that I was going to regret going to the bar, but went anyway. Situation: confronted and threatened by two guys agressively Authentic Response: Anger, anticipation and fear. My Toa: Remain calm, and be as assertive as possible. Diffuse the situation even if requires showing humility. Acting agressive to one who is being agressive will fuel the fire. Being passive will show weakness. It would have been best to avoid the situation in it's entireity and have stayed out of it in the 1st place. Did I do it right?

True, but it beats gas and emissions, although required decent energy storage

I don't have any experience with that. I do feel that it is more dangerous, and I wouldn't personally take that path without a competent instructor. You can't really start in the middle as far as I know because there are no channels going to the middle from root. http://www.tantra-kundalini.com/nadis.htm See how those channels by-pass the chakra's? I'm not saying it's impossible, just beyond my experience.

I'm not sure what you mean? Kundalini is generally dormant at root.
