The Online Learning Blog from Study2U Supposedly browsing the internet requires more brain power than watching television. Although judging from some of the websites we’ve come across that assumption is cast into doubt. Here’s some of the sites we like that might get your brain to sit up and listen. Ted A conference that started in 1984 bringing together experts in technology, entertainment and design quickly grew into so much more. RMC - Collections > Rare Book & Manuscript Collections > European History & Culture > The Rhaeto-Romance Collection The Rhaeto-Romance Collection, like the Fiske Icelandic Collection and the Dante and Petrarch collections, is a bequest of Daniel Willard Fiske, Cornell's first university librarian and a singularly energetic book collector. The term Rhaeto-Romance describes a group of closely related dialects rather than a coalesced, national language. The dialect caught the interest of Willard Fiske while he was on an expedition to the baths of Tarasp in the Lower Engadine. A chance sighting of texts in the Rhaeto-Romance language led to several purchasing excursions throughout the Alpine valleys of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy, with the result that in "little more than five weeks," the collection as it has come to Cornell was virtually complete. The printed catalogue of the Rhaeto-Romance collection divides the holdings into Literature (including numerous religious works), History, Philology and Description.

Star Fire Laurence Gardner is his excellent book, Genesis of the Grail Kings [Bantam Books, New York, 1999] asks the reason for Genesis 9:4: “But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” Why, for example, would Jehovah oppose the intake of blood, while allowing his worshipers to eat flesh (which ultimately, of course, contains a certain amount of blood)? What would be the appeal of eating blood, if not due to some religious or philosophical belief? Better yet, why bother to specifically dictate a law -- early in Genesis -- that forbid the practice? With regards to the Star Fire (as well as the ORME, ORMUS, White Powder of Gold, Philosopher’s Stone, Elixir of Life, Food of the Gods, the Ark of the Covenant, Alchemy, Secrets, Transmutation, Biological and otherwise, and, of course, giving my regards to Broadway), there is a new kid on the block, a new development that really must be noted.

Subtle Bodies Subtle Bodies Subtle bodies follow the ROYGBIV color spectrum rays of light frequency - much like our auras and chakras.

There’s no doubt that we live in extraordinary times. Many old structures are falling apart, and people are being cast into places of doubt and uncertainty. This has, as it has for a good part of history, created a crucible for spiritual awakening. It’s the sad truth that people don’t look to spirit until they’re up against a wall.
