Sex is one of our basic needs according to Abraham Maslow who is a renowned psychologist. This theory is called “The Heirarchy of Needs”. This theory basically has 5 stages. Everyones starts from stage 1, which is the Physio needs. After all the needs have been fulfilled, we move up to the second stage. At any point of the later stages for instance, we get sexual urges, we will come back to stage 1 to fulfill that need. Otherwise we will not perform effectively on the higher stages.

1. Biological and Physiological needs – air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.

2. Safety needs – protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc.

3. Belongingness and Love needs – work group, family, affection, relationships, etc.

4. Esteem needs – self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility, etc.

5. Self-Actualization needs – realising personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.

Ok so our main concern here is Sex. It is evident that a bad sex life could lead to a bad relationship and marriage. There are many things that contribute to a bad sex life for instance; either partner is not getting enough, men orgasm too quickly etc. It is also a fact that women takes a longer time to reach an orgasm and most men do not have the stamina
to hold until that happens. Of course we could use other parts of our body to help women reach orgasms, but wouldnt it be a bliss if it happens through intercourse?

For anyone who is concerned of their sexual stamina, please visit my blog at http://sex-tips-toys-training.blogspot.com to learn effective methods of improving your sexual stamina.

The Power of Three Shall Rule in time to come. Our Actual World

All life is a struggle, the struggle of the individual for Self-Actualisation !

We find that the Thesis and the Anti Thesis are equally logical. The intellect is dual.

We can learn a lot from a Court of Law. There will be two arguments, argued by scholars, and both appear logical.

In other words, what the intellect justifies is true. Its Anti Thesis is also true !

Should we believe the intellect, which offers two arguments, two types of Justice ( the Mosaic Law and the Jesusian ), two antithetical theories ?

We should know that the intellect is Janus- faced and rely on the Heart !

From Quantum Mysticism we have to come to Bridal Mysticism, which extolls the Absolute Self as Universal Love !

This is the struggle of Being for Self-Actualisation, through the well known three phase dialectic of Thesis, Antithesis & Synthesis !

Let us achieve Self Actualisation !

In our last blog post we dicussed the Thesis of Huntington and the Anti Thesis of Amartya Sen.

Amartya Sen has criticised the Theory saying that civilizations cannot be grouped as Hindu, Buddhist or Islamic. But unfortunately the 9/11, Afghan war and Iraq war has only proved Huntington’s Thesis true. History proves that the Crusades and other wars were along cultural lines.

There were Crusades against own people. The Albigensian Crusade was against the Cathars, who were Gnostics. Also the Waldensian Crusade.

In other words, history proves the Thesis of Huntington. When he says that friction exists between major civilizations, he is stating a fact known to all. Tensions exist between Islamic and Western, between Islamic and Indian, between Chinese & Japanese. Huntington is stating facts, corroborated by history !

If Clash is a major problem and it is, what is the solution to this malady ?

The three phase Dialectic is Thesis, Anti Thesis and Synthesis !

If we had discussed the Thesis and the Anti Thesis, it is upto to you to believe any of these doctrines. If what the intellect justifies is true and if its inverse is also true, then both are logical and intellectual doctrines.

And what is the Synthesis?

The highest synthesis is Universal Love. Love your enemies ! This wisdom was echoed by Shakespeare, Jesus and Sai. Sai is still alive, preaching tolerance and Universal Love.

When Universal Love triumphs, both Thesis and Anti Thesis win !

Universal Love is All Conquering !

Prof Huntington’s book the The Clash of Civilizations became famous and controversial.

There are seven, nay, Nine Civilizations

The Western
The Islamic
The Indian
The Japanese
The Chinese
The Russian
The African
The Buddhist
The Jewish

The Clash of Civilizations is happening, say many. The 9/11 2001 attacks, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq are proofs, they argue.

A self fulfilling prophecy is one when the political leaders, who are aware of this famous thesis, make it a reality ! Many political leaders knew this Thesis and were influenced by it, say the people who favour this theory.

Many radicalists also approve this theory.

There are criticisms, however, of this theory. Amartya Sen argues that Civilizations cannot be grouped into Seven or Nine civilizations !

The people who favour this theory argue that the present crisis is the conflict between two major civilizations, missionary ones, who averr that theirs is the only true faith. Both believe in conversions and it is a struggle for superiority. The human mind is engineered in such a way and all human beings are ruled by the Ego function ! It is not “my country, right or wrong”, it is “my Civilization, right or wrong” !

So we have a thesis by Huntington and an AntiThesis by Amartya Sen. Let us see who is right !

According to Huntington’s theory, the main cause of international conflict will be cultural, as different cultures struggle for superiority in a multi-cultural world.

The West, led by the US, is at the pinnacle of power. US will forge alliances with similar cultures and protogonists of this theory point out to the US-India-Russia Axis and the US-India-Japan Axis.
The Sino-Islamic connection is already there, as China colludes with Pakistan & Iran.

The Dialogue among Civilizations was the answer to this threat. A global organisation, the Alliance for Civilizations, was set up by the UN.

Let Universal Love redeem this world and let the world not perish in the Clash of Civilizations !

This is Christopher Stigson, a blogger who has spent hundreds of hours trying to figure out the blogging game. I think I’ve finnally cracked part of the code and I’m sharing this with you today. The point of this article is to run a test and at the same time share some knowledge about internet marketing blogs.

It’s a common thing to hear about success stories on profitable blogs these days.. Some generate amounts of up to $100,000/month and beyond. Profitable they are. You as a blog owner probably need to do a few things differently in order to get the most out of your internet marketing techniques and take a few steps to increase search engine rankings, make more money and have it run on autopilot.

Having a well defined anchor text using a keyword is a smart way to increase search engine rankings. But search engine rankings isn’t the only way to get free traffic. See, there is a lot of traffic to be gained from RSS submit, which is an RSS syndication software. You can also get a lot of traffic from socialbookmarking sites and more.

You should always “sub-niche” your internet marketing blog. Doing “traffic”, or “articles”, or maybe “eBay marketing” is a good way to “sub-niche” your sites. It’s not at all difficult to sub-niche and it’s far more profitable since you WON’T be burried hundreds of miles down in the 46th page of Google!

When you have got a niche within the “internet marketing niche” it’s easy to start generate some income. See, most people are targeting “make money” and “how to make money” and “make money online”, but this is NOT what you want to do. Instead head over to keyword research tools and find long tail keywords in the internet marketing niche.

Simple example could be “traffic generation”. That’s our “IM sub-niche”. Great. Let’s go do some keyword research before we get carried away. Let’s say we type in “traffic” and it spits out “increase search engine traffic” as a viable keyword. Then head over to Google and type it in. Now head over to Yahoo and use “link:http://www.yourcompetition.com” to see the backlink count for your competition. If it’s below 1,000, go for it! There’s our sub-niche-long-tail-keyword. Yippie, let’s get going!

Now when you have a topic and a keyword it’s time to create a domain name that has similar or an exact name of the keyword. So “www.increase-search-engine-traffic.com” would be ideal for “increase search engine traffic”. You can go as far as doing “www.increasesearchenginetraffic.com”, but I like the dashes. For search engine rankings, I personally haven’t seen it matter.

It’s time to write content. Since we have a keyword, in this case “increase search engine traffic” all we have to do is write content about the subject and post to our new internet marketing blog. Simple and smart! You also want to collect some 15-50 keywords more and type content using these keywords. Start posting them to various article directories online and start to see profits. Recommended directories include ezinearticles and goarticles.

Before you buy anything online, make sure you check Chris Stigsons’ excellent free Internet Marketing Blog, featuring various Internet Marketing Tips and tricks. He’s a marketing expert who creates internet marketing products like crazy.

My blog counter is up due to heavy Article Marketing, linking of blogs and sites and submitting urls, blogs & feeds to directories ! I have 30 blogs on Blogger and all counters show increase in the number of hits !

More traffic due to Web Marketing 2.0. But then I am not fully satisfied; I want more traffic.

So Web Marketing 2.0 has done the trick. I created profiles on MySpace, Ibibo, Yahoo Answers etc. I submit my 180 articles to article directories, have 30 blogs and 5 websites cross-linked. I submit my urls to search engines every day !

Hope you will do the same and get more traffic for your blogs

My adrevenue increased fivefold this month. I am getting more checks, apart from Google and Adbrite monthly checks !

Good Luck !

Despite what you may hear, the Google AdSense program is not for everyone. There are some types of web sites that do poorly no matter how hard the owners try, and there are others that should be doing well but the webmaster simply isn’t putting in the effort to make things happen.
Here are some tips to make AdSense work better for you. If you do them all and you’re still not having any luck, then you just might be running one of those sites that don’t make money

1. Determine if your visitors are “in the mood”

Like I mentioned at the top of this article, some web sites just don’t work with pay-per-click programs.
The best performing sites fall into one of these categories:

• Sites where users go and expect to buy something while they are there. E-commerce sites fit the bill here..
• Sites where users go to find specific information on something that they want to buy now. Music and video review sites, vacation information sites, resume building sites, etc. You don’t have to actually be selling these types of things; your site can just be a Mecca for information pertaining to these things. Then, when the visitor comes to read your content, they are more likely to click on your ads.

• Sites where people who have disposable income and a credit card like to visit. This includes sites with money management, investing and lifestyle content.

• Sites that draw a large amount of new users every day. Free coupon sites and “How to” sites are good examples.
• Sites where people go who expect to read ads. Classified ads and shopping comparison sites fit into this category.

2. Make sure that your visitors don’t feel that you just want to grab their money

Give them plenty of relevant and well-written content. If writing isn’t your best skill then hire someone to do it for you. Good content brings steady traffic and steady traffic pays the bills.

3. Play by the rules

Google has some very specific Terms of Service (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies) for participating in their AdSense program. Learn those rules and follow them so you don’t lose all of your investment by getting shut out.

4. Use the tools that Google gives you

Google gives you tools for determining the best keywords for your site, measuring ad performance, and setting up different ad “channels” for fine-tuning ad results. These guys and girls are the 800 lb. Gorillas in the Pay-Per-Click market. They didn’t build these tools just to keep their programmers busy. Take advantage of their knowledge for they are very big and you are not!

5. Tweak, fine-tune and then tweak again

you should never be happy with your AdSense performance. If it’s good, then you need to make it great. If it’s great then you need to make it amazing. If it’s amazing then you need to take it to the UPS club. The UPS club? Google sends all checks over $10,000 per month to the webmaster via UPS overnight delivery. Now there’s a club that I wouldn’t mind belonging to.

6. Get more traffic

No matter how much traffic you have, you need more. More eyeballs translate to more clicks. Even if you’re only pulling a 2% click-through. That’s a lot of clicks when you have thousands of visitors each day.

7. Experiment with new keywords

new keywords can bring new ads and new eyeballs along with it. Set up some new pages on your site and experiment with different content. Once you get something that’s working then refer back to Tip # 5.

You can see results in near real time when you use Google’s AdWords. Don’t be afraid to be different. If something that everyone else is doing doesn’t work for you, then invent something that does work and get it on your site.

Four Steps on the Path of Wisdom
Arnold Keyserling and R.C.L.

No matter what the cultural context,
we find that the Path of Wisdom
has essentially four steps:

(1) know your body,

(2) create your dream body or energy fields,

(3) figure out your meaning in life, and

(4) participate in a global network of friends
where your meaning can be fulfilled in history.

These steps are not sequential, they all happen at once, with a change in emphasis over time. The “first” step of body awareness comes from exercises and practice – things like sports, yoga, martial arts, massage, etc. You have to be grounded in the body to escape from the prison of left brain hypnosis, to liberate yourself to holistic awareness.

Next, the creation of an energy body, a dream body, comes from active imagination, exercises and meditation. The Hindu tradition refers to this step as opening the Chakras. In China it is known as the activation of the Chi, and is the basis of all Oriental Medicine. The Western esoteric traditions refer to this energy field as the Aura – the halos you see painted around saints. Again, there are many methods to develop your energies, although they are not as well known as the body work. One such method uses sound vibrations known as PrimaSounds.

The third step is to make sense of the world, figure out what it all means and who you are. You can also think of this as a process of “remembering.” Remembering what you came here to do, what you had intended to do in this life before you were born. Everyone has a purpose, a special life destiny, which only they can fulfill. The destiny is not inevitable, it is only a potential. The exact way it will be achieved is always unknown. So in that sense it is both a remembering and a creative process. Remember why you are here and figure out how to do it. The remembering and “figuring out” process is more than intuition, it is also a holistic thinking process. A process of active contemplation and analysis that can lead to action – once you figure out what it is you can do next. (It is easier to walk once the blindfold is removed!) Here the thinking tool which is Arnold Keyserling’s purpose in life to develop and make known to others, called The WHEEL, can be of great help. It can help you remove the blindfold of ignorance as to who you are, help you to remember what you came here to do. Understanding who you are then leads naturally to the next step of “doing it.”

The fourth step we sometimes call “Metapolitical” action in the world. (See: “Wisdom, Metapolitics and the Internet” essay.) Here a School of Wisdom or other friendship group is critical. With a little help from your friends, participation with others and in groups of people, you can act Globally to fulfill your potential. You can fulfill your mission in life. You can become a player in the ongoing game of human civilization, a link in the great history of life. You can carry out your meaning in life, your true purpose, the only way possible – in active concert with the rest of the Universe.

All four steps on the Path of Wisdom can be significantly helped by group work and teachers. To fill this need Schools of Wisdom, and groups like it, are now opening all over the world based on the tradition of direct Wisdom transmission. A word of caution here, don’t be too intellectual or take yourselves too seriously, have fun with the Path of Widom and the Wheel, play with it as a kind of “glass bead game.” True Wisdom is joyful. People who are too serious are not really mature.

Finally, remember only YOU can find out who you are – no one else can (or should) do that for you, or tell you what to do. Beware of Power Trippers, especially “spiritual” ones. The days of Gurus, cults and religions telling you what to do are gone. The New Age demands individual liberty and spiritual democracy. We are free people, united on a global scale by interlocking networks and communities. Just as you would not allow another to take over your body, do not sell your soul, or allow your spirit to be taken and controlled by another. Walk these four steps of Wisdom yourself!

Out of a still Immensity all came!
These million universes were to it
The poor light-bubbles of a trivial game,
A fragile glimmer in the Infinite.

It could not find its soul in all that vast:
It drew itself into a little speck
Infinitesimal, ignobly cast
Out of earth’s mud and slime strangely awake,-

A tiny plasm on a little globe,
In the small system of a dwarflike sun,
A little life wearing the flesh for robe,
A little mind winged through wide space to run!

It lived, it knew, it saw its self sublime,
Deathless, outmeasuring Space, outlasting Time.

1 – The Silence

Into the Silence, into the Silence,
Arise, O Spirit immortal,
Away from the turning Wheel, breaking the magical Circle.
Ascend, single and deathless:
Care no more for the whispers and the shoutings in the darkness,
Pass from the sphere of the grey and the little,
Leaving the cry and the struggle,
Into the Silence for ever.

Vast and immobile, formless and marvellous,
Higher than Heaven, wider than the universe,
In a pure glory of being,
In a bright stillness of self-seeing,
Communing with a boundlessness voiceless and intimate,
Make thy knowledge too high for thought, thy joy too deep for emotion;
At rest in the unchanging Light, mute with the wordless self-vision,
Spirit, pass out of thyself; Soul, escape from the clutch of Nature.
All thou hast seen cast from thee, O Witness.
Turn to the Alone and the Absolute, turn to the Eternal:
Be only eternity, peace and silence,
world-transcending nameless Oneness,
Spirit immortal.

2 – Beyond the Silence

Out from the Silence, out from the Silence,
Carrying with thee the ineffable Substance,
Carrying with thee the splendour and wideness,
Ascend, O Spirit immortal.
Assigning to Time its endless meaning,
Blissful enter into the clasp of the Timeless.
Awake in the living Eternal, taken to the bosom of love of the Infinite,
Live self-found in his endless completeness,
Thy heart close to the heart of the Godhead for ever.

Vast, God-possesseing, embraced by the Wonderful,
Lifted by the All-Beautiful into his infinite beauty,
Love shall envelop thee endless and fathomless,
Joy unimaginable, Ecstasy illimitable,
Knowledge omnipotent, Might omniscient,
Light without darkness, Truth that is dateless.
One with the Transcendent, calm, universal,
Single and free, yet innumerably living,
All in thyself and thyself in all dwelling,
Act in the world with thy being beyond it.
Soul, exceed life’s boundaries; Spirit, surpass the universe.
Outclimbing the summits of Nature,
Transcending and uplifting the soul of the finite,
Rise with the world in thy bosom,
O Word gathered into the heart of the Ineffable.
One with the Eternal, live in his infinity,
Drowned in the Absolute, found in the Godhead,
Swan of the supreme and spaceless ether wandering winged through the universe,
Spirit immortal.
