Under the Declaration of Independence of US, the "pursuit of happiness" is a fundamental human right. Critics say the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee happiness, the pursuit of it.

Tingshas are often embossed with a mantra, such as the popular “Om Mani Padme Hum”, which is said to invoke the nature of Chenrezig, the great Buddha of compassion.

These ratios exist throughout nature in the form of fractals or golden sections. Although they have been employed in man made structures like the Pyramids in sacred geometry, they have always existed throughout all of nature, living and non-living.

Synchronicity is actually related to probability. There are events that occur in life which have a small probability in life of happening, yet they happen. For instance you’re talking on the phone with a friend and you say something and they say to you, “I was just thinking that!” The chances of that actually happening are really small, yet it happens. Another example is perhaps you call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. You come across their number and you decide to call them and check to see how they’re doing.

I don’t know where my passion and love for his plays comes from but it has been a deep part of my life. His writings have also taught me many things.

When I first heard the phrase "brainwave entrainment" it conjured up some rather scary images in my head. And what I discovered on the surface after that didn't really help to make me feel better about it.
