Seven theories are given there: Plato, Christianity, Marx, Freud, Sartre, Lorenz and Skinner. I’ll use some citations from the book. It is a little old one (1974) but not older than the Plato’s theory, par example. *** “(…) The Bible sees man as created by a transcendent God who has a definite purpose for our life. “The real nature of man is the totality of social relations”, said Marx (…) Marx denied the existence of God and held that each individual is a product of the human society that lives in. “Man is condemned to be free”, said Sartre, writing in France in the 1940s. Sartre denied the existence of God, but also denied that we are determined by our society or by anything else. He held that every individual is completely free. To decide for himself what he wants to be and do. (…).

Somewhere out there, Beneath the pale blue night, Someone’s thinking of me, And loving me tonight. Somewhere out there, Someone’s saying a prayer, Then we’ll find one another, In that big somewhere out there. And even though I know how very far apart we are, It helps to think we might be wishing On the same bright star, And when the night will start to sing A lonesome lullaby, It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the Same big sky. Somewhere out there, If love can see us through, Then, we’ll be together, Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come http://sofia777.multiply.com/video/item/19/Peter_Pan_-_Somewhere_Out_There.

The other one, being in Sweden. The Ice Hotel opened its curtains (for doors) during the winter in 2001, but as happens every year, the ice hotel is fated for an annual rebirth. Under the warming sun of early April, it slowly melts away like Dorothy's witch, only to come to life again the next winter. The construction of the Ice Hotel, one of the most uncommon and complicated construction projects, takes approximately five weeks. At least 12,000 tons of snow and 400 tons of ice are used in the creation of this amazing ice and snow crystal cathedral. It's total surface of 3,000 sq m (30,000 sq ft), is more than enough space to accommodate, besides the guests, a large number of visitors. The Ice Hotel officials claim that the hotel is almost always fully booked. Guests spend the night in one of the 32-cosy rooms and theme suites, which can accommodate some 80 persons.

This is the pyramid of needs according Abraham Maslow. This made me look for more information and I thought it would be interesting to share with you.   <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs</A> Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that Abraham Maslow proposed in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation” which he subsequently extended to include his observations of humans’ innate curiosity. <A href="http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/sofi_ats/?action=view&current=thepyramideofneeds-1.png" target=_blank><IMG alt=Photobucket src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/sofi_ats/thepyramideofneeds-1.png" border=0></A> Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the four lower levels are grouped together as being associated with Physiological needs, while the top level is termed growth needs associated with psychological needs. Deficiency needs must be met first. Once these are met, seeking to satisfy growth needs drives personal growth. The higher needs in this hierarchy only come into focus when the lower needs in the pyramid are satisfied.

He or she who shuns passion, who prefers black on white, dotting ones “is” rather than a bundle of emotions, the kind that make your eyes glimmer, that turn a yawn into a smile, that make the heart pound in the face of mistakes and feelings, dies slowly. He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy, who is unhappy at work, who does not risk certainty for uncertainty, to thus follow a dream, those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives, die slowly. He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, dies slowly.

Actually the arabs popularized these numbers but they were originally used by the early phonecian traders to count and keep track of their trading accounts. Have you ever thought why ........ 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"? The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic behind the phonecian numbers? <H2 style="MARGIN: auto 0in">It's all about angles !</H2> It's the number of angles. If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why: No 1 has one angle. No 2 has two angles. No 3 has three angles. etc. and "O" has no angles      <A href="http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/sofi_ats/?action=view&current=numbers.gif" target=_blank><IMG alt=Photobucket src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/sofi_ats/numbers.gif" border=0></A>      <A href="http://www.orthohelp.com/numbers.htm">http://www.orthohelp.com/numbers.htm</A>   http://sofia777.multiply.com/journal/item/16/The_numbers Wed, 2 Jan 2008 23:21:28 -0000 Sacred Geometry - summary The Sacred Geometry: summary   There is a lot of information about the Sacred Geometry nowadays.

When viewed from the right angle they produce amazing visual effects. These designs are generally created using light to portray the image across the many surfaces. They can then be painted using the light/shadows as a guideline of where to paint. These are spectacular illusions and can be done on any surface in and any area.

During the 1960’s and 70’s his optical images became part of the popular culture, having a deep impact on architecture, computer science, fashion, and the way we now look at things in general. Even though he achieved great fame he insisted on making his art accessible to everyone. His motto was “Art for all”. Op art (optical art), is a genre of visual art, that makes use of optical illusions. Op art is also known as geometric abstraction and hard-edge abstraction, although the preferred term for it is perceptual abstraction. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vasarely.com/site/site.htm">http://www.vasarely.com/site/site.htm</a> http://sofia777.multiply.com/photos/album/5/Victor_Vasarely Wed, 26 Dec 2007 06:33:41 -0000 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here http://sofia777.multiply.com/video/item/13/Pink_Floyd_-_Wish_You_Were_Here Wed, 26 Dec 2007 05:26:01 -0000 CHRISTMAS WORLD <A href="http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/sofi_ats/?action=view&current=xmasworld.jpg" target=_blank><IMG alt=Photobucket src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/sofi_ats/xmasworld.jpg" border=0></A>     Click on the names of the countries below so you can learn new ways to celebrate Christmas. <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/argentina.html" target=_new>Argentina</A> Evergreen trees are decorated with cotton to simulate snow for the summertime celebration. <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/armenia.html" target=_new>Armenia</A> Celebrated on January 6 in Armenia but later in the Holy Land <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/australia.html" target=_new>Australia</A> Millions attend "Carols by Candlelight." <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/austria.html" target=_new>Austria</A> Christmas music everywhere - the land of "Silent Night." <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/belgium.html" target=_new>Belgium</A> Ice skating for Christmas day <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/brazil.html" target=_new>Brazil</A> Papai Noel wears red silk because of the heat <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/britain.html" target=_new>Britain</A> Caroling is one of the oldest traditions <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/bulgaria.html" target=_new>Bulgaria</A> A coin is baked into the bread for Christmas Eve <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/canada.html" target=_new>Canada</A> A wide variety of customs from France, Britain and elsewhere <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/chile.html" target=_new>Chile</A> Summertime celebrations in South America <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/china.html" target=_new>China</A> Xian nativity scene dates from A.D. 780 <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/costarica.html" target=_new>Costa Rica</A> Parades, fiestas, bull runs, and parties continue through January. <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/croatia.html" target=_new>Croatia</A> An extravagant array of desserts. <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/czech.html" target=_new>Czech Republic</A> A bell signals the arrival of the gifts with the Christchild <A href="http://christmas-world.freeservers.com/denmark.html" target=_new>Denmark</A> A conspiracy between the Ju... http://sofia777.multiply.com/journal/item/12/CHRISTMAS_WORLD_ Mon, 24 Dec 2007 05:38:43 -0000 Bolivian Highway http://sofia777.multiply.com/journal/item/11/Bolivian_Highway Sat, 22 Dec 2007 18:28:21 -0000 Fallingwater Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J.
