"Let your reason be supreme. Inculcate the habit of deliberation.
Practice the art of testing whether particular things are actually good or not. Learn to wait and assess instead of always reacting from untrained instinct. Spontaneity is not a virtue in and of itself.
If some pleasure is promised to you and it seductively calls to you, step back and give yourself some time before mindlessly jumping at it. Dispassionately turn the matter over in your mind: Will this pleasure bring momentary delight, or real, lasting satisfaction? It makes a difference in the quality of our life and the kind of person we will become when we learn how to distinguish between cheap thrills and meaningful, lasting rewards.
If, in calmly considering this pleasure, you realize that if you indulge in it you will regret it, abstain and rejoice in your forbearance. Reinforce the triumph of your character and you will be strengthened."
— Epictetus

When risks are taken, one must accept what the failure includes, not just the reward.
The arrogant will remain foolish if he does not understand the value of loyalty.

When you realize that there are other dimensions. You will never think about life, death, yourself, or the universe the same way again.

"For the sake of Honor, a Virtuous Man will stand his Ground and perform brave deeds. But as we have noted before, there is a name for those who carry this sort of quality to the extreme, being absolutely without fear, not even being afraid of earthquakes or waves.. These are the Celts"

This music track is designed to strengthen spellwork, meditation and ritual calling dedicated to the God Apollo. Add the power of Abaddon-Apollo to appropriate spiritual operations
The best time to contact Apollo is 20-24th of April. He likes gold, yellow and blue candles. His planet is primarily Mercury with Sun, Saturn and Pluto (for destructive magick). His metals are Quick Silver and Gold, Elements Air and Fire. His symbols are Lion, Winged Serpent and the Scorpion
Despite his well known fearsome reputation among the heirachy of the Gods, he is really safe, freindly and loving to those who approach him with courtesy and respect same for the other Gods of the 72

If soul not mortal is, and winds its way Into the body at the birth of man, Why can we not remember something, then, Of life-time spent before? why keep we not some footprints of the things we did of, old? But if so changed hath been the power of mind, That every recollection of things done is fallen away, at no overlong remove. Is that, from what we mean by death. Wherefore 'tis sure that what hath been before hath died, and what now is, is now create

The plot thickens: as well as Neanderthal DNA ending up in modern humans, seems that very ancient human DNA ended up in early Neanderthals.
The Visigoths killed off a significant portion of Homo neanderthalis (nephilim). As a consequence, the small remaining population had to interbreed with existing Homo sapiens to continue the existence of their bloodline and genetics.
