An elected bishop of Antioch in the year 260 A.D., Paul of Samosata aroused controversy with his monarchianist teachings. In 269, seventy bishops, priests and deacons assembled at Antioch and deposed him as bishop and elected Dominus as his successor.
Paul’s teaching, which emphasized the oneness of God, taught that Jesus was born a mere man, but that at his baptism he was infused with the divine Logos or word of God. Hence, Jesus was seen not as God-become-man but as man-become-God.
July 25, 325, Paul of Samosata’s teachings were officially declared “hereSy” by the council of Nicaea.
making love is a very silent prAyer. It is a meditation. It is the holiest of holies. So while you are making love to a woman go very slowly, with taste, taking in every flavor of it, and go very slowly: there is no hurry, no need to hurry; there is enough time.
And while making love, forget about orgasm. Rather, be in a relaxed state with the woman, relax into each other. The western mind is continuously thinking about when it is coming and how to make it fast and great and this and that. That thinking does not allow the body energies to function. It does not allow the body to have its own way; the mind is interfering… Relax with the other person. If nothing happens, then there is no need for anything to happen. Orgasm does not have to happen every day. Sex should be just being together, just dissolving into each other. (OSHO)
London is the last stop in an epic trip across Britain filmed in remarkable early colour. London was the final stop in a marathon journey around Britain filmed as a series of cinema travelogues.
Between 1975-1981, a group of American ex-pats took their native sounds of Detroit and Chicago to Dimona, Israel and intermingled them with the messages of the Black Hebrew culture. The results are a heavenly mix of spiritual soul and jazz with an undercurrent of gospel psychedelia.
Homer Dudley invented the VODER (Voice Operating DEmonstratoR), an electronic speaking instrument, which was unveiled (and demonstrated hourly) at the New York World’s Fair 1939–40.
Inside the tall rack of sturdy electronic gear was a pitch controlled reedy oscillator, a white-noise source, and ten bandpass resonant filters. For a Voder to “speak” a talented, diligently trained operator “performed” at a special console connected to the rack, using touch-sensitive keys and a foot-pedal. These controlled the electronic generating components.
