The rough rock roars, tumultuous boil the waves;
They toss, they foam, a wild confusion raise,
Like waters bubbling o'er the fiery blaze;
Eternal mists obscure the aerial plain,
And high above the rock she spouts the main;
When in her gulfs the rushing sea subsides,
She drains the ocean with the refluent tides;
The rock re-bellows with a thundering sound;
Deep, wondrous deep, below appears the ground.

Guess: |

Question: |
What are the distinctions between the three types of autonomy mentioned in the sentence? |
Answer: |
The three types of autonomy mentioned in the sentence are outer, inner, and secret. Outer autonomy is achieved through the introduction of the form of the principal deity, the retinue, and the mandala as bases for stabilizing meditation. Inner autonomy is attained by emerging victorious over self-grasping through cultivating the altruistic intent. Secret mantra enables one to attain autonomy of mind through bodhicitta, which is the direct antidote to self-grasping. |

Answer: |
The passage mentions that psychologists have been corrupted by the moral idiosyncrasy, but it does not specify how or to what extent this occurs. The passage does criticize ancient philosophers for not having the courage to advance certain theories that deny morality or identify pleasure with the will to power, as these ideas were considered immoral. The author of the passage also critiques moral philosophers for using fictions and false psychological tenets in their arguments, and for lacking intellectual cleanliness and self-control. |

Question: |
How did the environment impact humans between 5,000,000 and 135,000 years ago? |
Answer: |
The environment from about five million years ago to about 135,000 years ago was fairly similar to today's environment. This environment impacted humans by providing the conditions for the emergence and development of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, the scientific name given to human beings. The environment allowed for the birth of babies of the same species that would grow up to be essentially the same as anyone around today. The environment during this period is important to understanding how and why human beings operate the way they do today. |

Question: |
How does the passing upwards of truth and vitality into security contribute to the functioning of an unprincipled society? |
Answer: |
In a generally unprincipled society, truth and vitality are passed upwards, converted into security and passed upwards again, while deliberate misreports of perception are slammed back down the hierarchy. This truth-vitality-security flow upwards in the hierarchy and deliberate misreports of perception-risk-pain slammed back downwards in the hierarchy contributes to the functioning of an unprincipled society. In short, the passing upwards of truth and vitality into security allows for deliberate misreports of perception to be made by the above party, while keeping the below party 'on the line' just enough for truth and vitality to be consistently pumped upwards. |

Thou
quittedst
for my sake; and, if I may
In any thing command thee, I command,
That, with God's pleasure, thou live-out thy day;
Nor ever banish from thy memory,
That, well as man can love, have I loved thee.

WHAT THE THUNDER SAID
After the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and palace and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience 330
Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand
If there were only water amongst the rock
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit 340
There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain
There is not even
solitude
in the mountains
But red sullen faces sneer and snarl
From doors of mudcracked houses
If there were water
And no rock
If there were rock
And also water
And water 350
A spring
A pool among the rock
If there were the sound of water only
Not the cicada
And dry grass singing
But sound of water over a rock
Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
But there is no water
Who is the third who walks always beside you?

I
Among the smoke and fog of a
December
afternoon
You have the scene arrange itself--as it will seem to do--
With "I have saved this afternoon for you";
And four wax candles in the darkened room,
Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead,
An atmosphere of Juliet's tomb
Prepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid.

LXIII
Against my love shall be as I am now,
With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'erworn;
When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow
With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn
Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night;
And all those beauties whereof now he's king
Are vanishing, or vanished out of sight,
Stealing away the
treasure
of his spring;
For such a time do I now fortify
Against confounding age's cruel knife,
That he shall never cut from memory
My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life:
His beauty shall in these black lines be seen,
And they shall live, and he in them still green.

The unappeasable loveliness
is calling to me out of the wind,
And because your name
is written upon the ivory doors,
The wave in my heart is as a green wave, unconfined, Tossing the white foam toward you;
And the lotus that pours
Her
fragrance
into the purple cup
Is more to be gained with the foam Than are you with these words of mine.
