The goblin doesn’t. He captures these angels to light his hallways so that he can live on the ground. There are peculiar ways that he captures them. You see, angels are really curious and don’t like disturbing anybody’s living situations. So, mister goblin makes dirt hallways all over the face of the earth in a labyrinth. There are curtains that these angels feel the need to walk through to see what’s on the other side. By the time they turn around to see where they’ve been, the other side of the curtain that they just passed through looks different. Therefore, these angels get lost and confused. By that time the goblin is waiting to pounce. He waits until these angels are at there last bit of hope, so that when they get caught they don’t fight back. He takes them by the hand and tells them that he has a way out. He sends them to a chamber and tells them to wait. Angels have all been taught about the evil of goblins, but there is no one else to trust. He turns on the energy extractor of the chamber and lets them stay in there for eternity while their energy is wasted on lighting up the hallways (of which captures angels).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in&quot;&gt;A sad story really, but being able to fly has its fallbacks. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Poems of Life&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8268765080800703723/posts/default/838742602058135139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8268765080800703723/posts/default/838742602058135139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deanrusselhartwig.blogspot.com/2012/01/flying-angels.html' title='Flying Angels'/><author><name>Russel Hartwig</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06484766896339442149</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kwDl4FvF5Sc/T59Mf5WALoI/AAAAAAABSTY/Bd1BBa_NpTk/s72-c/Flying_Fairy_by_Marosia.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268765080800703723.post-1348412520948354784</id><published>2011-10-28T16:06:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-03T11:44:33.574-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Yourself</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ySTCgsdZ1Bo/T6LSB2jJaVI/AAAAAAABSq4/hWfZLWybN_k/s1600/Corbis-42-26195123.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ySTCgsdZ1Bo/T6LSB2jJaVI/AAAAAAABSq4/hWfZLWybN_k/s320/Corbis-42-26195123.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5738379804488067410&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone looks at themselves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;They find that the things they do are sometimes questionable,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but when they look at all the good that person does all day&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and compares it to the times when something wrong is done,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;it turns out that it isn&#39;t the wrongs in life that shape the way life turns out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is the culmination of everything that we have done good in life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The turns that we make are generally for the better. Yeah we might have a wrong turn here and there,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but in the end it is the general good that we have done that defines us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It reminds me of a movie I once saw starring Robin Williams. He took implants from peoples minds that recorded their memories of their entire lives and cut them into a general, good overview of their lives. He did this for the families and friends of the person who had recently passed away. He was called a &quot;cutter.&quot;In life there are people who we affect, and there are people who look up to us. There are people in our lives that despise us, but everyone wants to be known for the things they did. What that person did could be vindictive, or good-willed, but we all want our voice to be heard. We want our children, family and friends to see us in a certain way. Most of the time we want them to see us in a good light.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Looking back at my life, and comparing it to others lives, I can see that the many things that I do well, as well as the many things that others do well, come into a finalization of good efforts that tells us who we are. We are good people. There are workers at Dunkin&#39; Donuts, there are drug addicted criminals, but both of these types of people have a need to feel appreciated and loved. The efforts of a drug addicted criminal to turn his/her goals to something of a better nature takes &lt;b&gt;so&lt;/b&gt; much effort and support! I would say that it is more difficult than a john doe, or a sally someone, has ever come across, or ever will come across. That is why, as in the parable of the prodigal son, they killed the fatted calf and had a feast. It is much harder for a man/woman who has gone off the path to come back, than it is for a steady forth-worth person to stay on the path. That is why going off the path of conscience-ness against your own will is highly looked down upon. But once you are there, don&#39;t complain, just bring yourself back to the path that you know is best for you. I am not claiming to know which path is best for you, but I only know that there is one. One for each person in life, one for each soul. Like a testimony of what you believe in, whatever that belief is, just believe in it! Believe in it full heartedly! That is your path that you must take!

It works like the magnetic field of the earth. As a whole, everything in existence works on electro-magnetism (as quoted by you, in the black hole scenarios): p.s. think aurora Borealis in the universe of thought patterns. In a universe of unlimited space there must be unlimited possibilities. Everything that can happen does happen in an instant at the far reaches of the edge of our known universe (&quot;known&quot; being a verb meaning what we know of as of now, and/or what we have ever known in the history of our little tine molecules of unconscience beings).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://mail.google.com/mail/goog_1730290482&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/clubhouse/582-end-world-earths-magnetic-field-our-core.html&quot;&gt;http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/clubhouse/582-end-world-earths-magnetic-field-our-core.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Below is the link to the discussion written in this e-mail directly below the link.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-142093.html&quot;&gt;http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-142093.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now after reading this I realized that Popular Science explained of a group of individuals whom created a magnet with multiple poles. With those multiple poles one could surmise that there are multiple universes of which are unseen. However, there is probably too much information for this e-mail so I will not speak of it until we meet again. The equation is as follows of which I did create: To every exponential action there is an exponentially equal, or an exponentially opposite reaction. Now one could simply replace the words &quot;exponential,&quot; or &quot;exponentially&quot; with any given verb or noun and the equation would be the same for everything that happens in and out of life. The equation could be:...... to every hamburgers action there is an exponentially equal hamburger, or exponentially opposite reactional hamburger. Now if a hamburger is a hamburger, than there will be an equal, or oppositionally exponential hamburger. It stays with the law of thirds which states in Visual Communicational terms that every image must be placed to the right, left, or center of the paper. If there are three images then the image must depict a Three Dimensional plane. If the image never depicts a 3-D plane then the image is considered completely abstract.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Below is a link to the popular science article of which states the possible and potential applications of a magnet that has more than two poles (N.,S.,E. and W. would be perfect).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because the law of thirds is flawed (it only depicts areas in a 3D universe) there needs to be revision. The law of fourths needs to be obtained which states in my terms that there are the 3 dimensions plus a fourth dimension called the dimension of unpredictability (or a 50% and 50% chance). with these four laws in place there will never be miscalculations in math ever  again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Poems of Life&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="related" href="http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-142093.html" title="Equations of Grandeur"/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8268765080800703723/posts/default/8225835067080183288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8268765080800703723/posts/default/8225835067080183288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deanrusselhartwig.blogspot.com/2011/01/equations-of-grandeur.html' title='Equations of Grandeur'/><author><name>Russintheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15282705569596374019</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268765080800703723.post-1219055970915521559</id><published>2011-01-28T16:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-28T16:21:38.443-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Forward my poems please???</title><content type='html'>Any of you who are on my e-mail list (there are ten people on my e-mailing list) I would very much appreciate your help in spreading the word of my blog.

Just watch don&#39;t wait.&lt;br /&gt;the things that I have gone through besides you have been deranged.&lt;br /&gt;I needed a person in my life to help me see how I have been crazed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven&#39;t lived like I wanted to of course&lt;br /&gt;but who really does on their journey of this source.&lt;br /&gt;I let you go first, I know I did.&lt;br /&gt;by being so wrong and being like a kid.&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m done with my sad song; you can read it on my face.&lt;br /&gt;I just want you to know that things will go on despite this disgrace.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Poems of Life&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8268765080800703723/posts/default/2091722520182248672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8268765080800703723/posts/default/2091722520182248672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deanrusselhartwig.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-never-let-you-in.html' title='I never let you in'/><author><name>Russintheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15282705569596374019</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268765080800703723.post-3363944749485578570</id><published>2010-07-30T17:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-01-28T16:09:31.334-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thinking Thoughts</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;          If a child learns by failing over and over again until he/she gets it right. Then wouldn&#39;t it stand to be the truth that failing is the   best way to learn in a general sense? I would propose a theoretical teaching method that would be applied to the student that would allow them to learn the way they were born to learn. The method would simply, but strictly, enforce learning by throwing them out there. There would be no teaching, in a traditional sense, from the beginning of there childhood. They would only learn the way that they first taught themselves how to learn (through testing the waters first and asking questions). I have learned a ton more about life, and other such criteria, through this method. Something that I&#39;ve learned through this method was, about the only thing that I wasn&#39;t taught to learn, social etiquette and social experimentation (in small and large scenarios). I, at first, was a very awkward child. I had few friends because I was always experimenting with my group of peers. That led, however, to a quick realization of what not to do. It taught me that, in each individual scenario, to never underestimate a person, or animal. I of course challenged my own thinking at times to try to push people or animals, verbally, to where I wanted them to go mentally. You could say that in my own mind I was meticulous at deciphering the code of feelings/thoughts, reactions, and actions. I could at times predict what was going to happen next in a persons life. I have caught myself, many times, wishing that I would have said something that would show my genius off to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;the world of my peers. It (the predictability) is however connected to my sense of pride. With pride being a factor of losing my ability, I was restrained, in my own mind, to not say too much during particular instances. Later in my life I was called a &quot;mind reader&quot; from more than a few individuals, but I would say that I am just very good at deciphering the language of thought. I would observe their actions, and reactions towards others, and put my mind in their mind (metaphorically) and I would predict the next outcome. I have become a genius at social understanding pending education on it. I would not say that I am a learn-ed expert of social understanding, however I would say that, according to my own thoughts of life experiences. I have been honed and highly sharpened in the comprehension of thoughts according to those who have said so; like Doctors and other such authority figures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;          Side note: in the scriptures (Holy Bible: King James Version) it states to become as a little child, meek, humble, full of patience and long suffering. I would say that this suggestion goes deeper than I once thought. It suggests not only to be innocent (as a child is), but to be patient, meek, humble, and full of long suffering with all of our trials. My “trials” as a child were sometimes too difficult to handle. I was sad and angry at home, but passive and thoughtful in the real world. I know that someone has a categorization for what that action is, and how it affected me. I have triumphed over my childhood, and am now more intelligent and more aware of how life is thrown at me. If there is something that bothers me I talk about it to my leaders in life or the ones whom I am frustrated at, and those who have a true sense to help me. I also talk about my troubles to my girl friend, who would then give me feedback. She would respond to me as life lessons she learned in her life about the topic. She is a great help and I don&#39;t think I could live without her advise, or companionship. I would at least go insane, and not be able to function in every day life; if I were not to have verbal and straight forward advice from everyone including my girlfriend. I don&#39;t just think, and I don&#39;t only do. I do both at the same time. That is more difficult, but worth it if you have lived a lifetime of conscientiously working out your thoughts into actions. That sounds too simple. I will rephrase. It is more difficult to do this, however through analytical thoughts concerning the trouble, or experiment you are dealing with, you can succeed with it after about 20 years or less, depending on if you take to it well, but become increasingly accurate at doing and changing the way you think and react to things.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;          The mind can be related to a perpetual motion machine. Once you start it in motion, it will never cease from going that speed. It will go deeper and deeper into whatever goal you gave it - forever. If you continue to apply force, to any particular thought of intelligence, it will continually compound it&#39;s efforts to succeed. It makes no difference whether it is a good or wrong (bad) thought of intelligence. However you can get behind the thought and push it backwards, and according to the mass of your intelligence, or object (again metaphorically), you can slow it down and return it to the baseline of all your intelligences. The baseline of all your thoughts are kept on a metaphorical sphere. And until they are launched, they will just sit there. Your, and my, baseline is like the earth. It takes a whole lot of time and fuel to enable it to escape its gravitational pull that the earth gives it. I emphasize that the ground has a single gravity measurement, like the earth does. Obviously these are only theoretical contemplations about how our mind perceives thoughts. I also reiterate the fact that it takes time and fuel with a fraction of a percentage higher than that of one gravity measurement to reach space. Our thoughts do not have a lot of weight attached to them. However it seems that the gravitational pull on our thoughts, at ground level, is much greater apposed to when we move them away from the earth. It is like a gravitational bell curve. The higher you get, the less weight you have.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;          Imagine how fast and how much thought power (propulsion) a child has. Previously it has been thought that young children did not have many capabilities to think, reason or comprehend on their own.  But now, according to the scientists who have placed their findings in the magazine  Scientific American, have found that very young children have more abilities than they have thought before. Now imagine taking that beautiful speed of thinking throughout their entire lives. Young people soak up new technologies very easily. They do so without thinking (it seems). But they are thinking at a level that an adult would only dream of. The way we are training our children is opposite to the way they&#39;re wired to think. They&#39;re wired to think by trial and error of self experimentation through things in their own world. Yes it is important to simply tell them, when they ask a direct question, what the answer is in a very verbose manner. It will obviously depend on if and when the child has his, or her, light turned on inside &amp;amp; has an epiphany. There are too many circumstance to list, however there are general rules to each situation. Some of the rules would be to stop when they get the epiphany (if and when they get it). If they never get it then go do your own thing while they find time to think and experiment on their own. They will have their epiphany sooner or later, just be patient. They are patient too and they are the ones waiting to launch their intelligences from their earth inside their minds. If you really think of the brain like the earth you will begin to understand how pressure causes your students/children to explode, and how gentle kindness causes them to find peace and an easier way to learn.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;          As in the King James Bible, the whole world of people is like a humongous vineyard. Each fruit is the peoples work (either good or bad), and each branch is a part of it&#39;s nation. Each tree is a representation of a grouping of people that the Lord is dealing with, and every grouping of people equals the whole vineyard. The vineyard only represents the worlds history (from beginning to end). Each fruit that has ripened gets picked off and brought to be used by the servant of the vineyard (Christ). He stores it up against the season and saves it for the winter or failed seasons; bad crops and trialing times. The seven heavens are, from lowest to highest, 1: Life as Intelligences (with no spirit bodies &amp;amp; no physical form), 2: Innocence as spirit children in Gods&#39; Kingdom, 3: The distribution of Authority &amp;amp; Power through God, 4: Complete and Total Free Will, given to us by God, 5: A physical body and the arrival on Earth including loss of memory towards our previous existence, 6: Starts with mortal death and is the first time we find ourselves without a physical body (again, that is after we had lost our memory, but gained it back. Thus it is the second time that we have lost our bodies in whole). 7: Begins with judgment and eventually we are assigned a place to reside for the entirety of eternities.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;          If you put that much complication into a species (humans), Whom are already very complicated. I would surmise that this representation is the simplest of all the representations concerning humans as a species. If you can rap your mind around a tree growing, and what it needs for food (metaphorically relating it to a human beings surroundings), then you will have a perfect understanding of how and why humans operate the way they do.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/23?lang=eng#1&quot;&gt;          Below is a verse from the book of Psalms. I feel that it describes the lord in the best manner - as our shepherd, herder, and lord of the vineyard. He is the one, and only one, who picks the fruit (brings people to heaven), prunes, dungs, digs about, and burns the vineyard or flock when needed. He pleads to God The Eternal Father for our good  and He (The Lord of Heaven above, who lives in the heavens) does the work that God asks him to do.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;
