If you live consciously, if you try to bring consciousness to every act that you go through, you will be living in a silent, blissful state, in serenity, in joy, in love. Your life will have the flavour of a festival. That is the meaning of heaven: your life will have many flowers in it, much fragrance will be released through you. You will have an aura of delight. Your life will be a song of life-affirmation, it will be a sacred yes to all that existence is. You will be in communion with existence — in communion with stars, with the trees, with the rivers, with the mountains, with people, with animals. This whole life and this whole existence will have a totally different meaning for you. From every nook and corner, rivers of bliss will be flowing towards you. Heaven is just a name for that state of mind. Hell means you are living so unconsciously, so absurdly, in such contradiction, that you go on creating more and more misery for yourself.

The girl stood in the center of the large four-poster bed. She wore a nightgown and robe that Cordelia had generously, and unknowingly, donated. Anything of Emily’s would have been far too short and too small. Her honey-colored hair fell over her shoulders in messy waves and her similarly colored eyes were almost black with wildness, her pupils unnaturally dilated. Fear. He felt it roll off her in great waves. It shimmered around her in a rich red aura Griff knew he alone could see, as it was viewable only on the Aetheric plane. She was afraid of them and, like a trapped animal, her answer to fear was to fight rather than flee. Interesting. She was certainly a sight to behold. Normally she was probably quite pretty, but right now she was…she was… She was bloody magnificent. That’s what she was. Except for the blood, of course.
Kady Cross (The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles, #1))
He was a stunning specimen of a man. Big in all the right places. Hairy on the parts that oozed masculinity. Brutal and ruthless with an aura of an animal who took what he wanted and often.
Pepper Winters (Twice a Wish (Goddess Isles, #2))
It is precisely the envelopment of sex (and all other natural functions) with an aura of deeper meaning that makes man human and distinguishes him from the rest of animate nature. To remove that meaning, to reduce sex to biology, as all the sexual revolutionaries did in practice, is to return man to a level of primitive behavior of which we have no record in human history. All animals have sex, but only man makes love.
Theodore Dalrymple (Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses)
Publishing is a business based on fiction—and not only the fiction that is packaged between book covers or sold as digital downloads. In order to convince harried, distracted people to set aside hours or even days to read hundreds of pages of non-animated words, we in the publishing business must manufacture an aura of success around a book, a glowing sheen that purrs I am worth your time. This aura is conveyed through breathless jacket copy, seductive cover imagery, and blurbs dripping with praise so thick the words seem painted on with honey. This fiction of success is stoked by the fiction of buzz and sustained by the fiction of social media.
Manjula Martin (Scratch: Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living)
Here the contention is not just that the new Darwinian paradigm can help us realize whichever moral values we happen to choose. The claim is that the new paradigm can actually influence — legitimately — our choice of basic values in the first place. Some Darwinians insist that such influence can never be legitimate. What they have in mind is the naturalistic fallacy, whose past violation has so tainted their line of work. But what we're doing here doesn't violate the naturalistic fallacy. Quite the opposite. By studying nature — by seeing the origins of the retributive impulse — we see how we have been conned into committing the naturalistic fallacy without knowing it; we discover that the aura of divine truth surrounding retribution is nothing more than a tool with which nature — natural selection — gets us to uncritically accept its "values." Once this revelation hits norm, we are less likely to obey this aura, and thus less likely to commit the fallacy.
Robert Wright (The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are - The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology)
Particles detached from the physical Aura remain around the spot or place where the person has been, and a strongly developed sense found in dogs and other animals enables them to follow up the "scent" of the person or animal they are tracking.
William Walker Atkinson (Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism)
My physical eyes are like sunglasses, filtering out the colors, but when I'm out here, the aura that emanates from every living thing is clearly visible to me. People, animals, and even plants are surrounded by this transparent bubble of color. Over the years, I've learned that the colors can tell you quite a bit about a person. Like right now, Rei is surrounded by this lemonade yellow, which looks nice, but it's the same shade of yellow my mom has whn she's sold a house to someone and the loan falls through. Sigh.
Gina Rosati (Auracle)
The fact remains that a certain combination of fragrances can captivate the opposite sex like the scent of an animal in heat. One kind of fragrance might attract fifty out of a hundred people. And another scent will attract the other fifty. But there also are scents that only one or two people will find wildly exciting. And I have the ability, from far away, to sniff out those special scents. When I do, I want to go up to the girl who radiates this aura and say, Hey, I picked it up, you know. No one else gets it, but I do.
Haruki Murakami (South of the Border, West of the Sun)
Can I cuddle up with you when you sleep?” Sma stopped, detached the creature from her shoulder with one hand and stared it in the face. “What?” “Just for chumminess’ sake,” the little thing said, yawning wide and blinking. “I’m not being rude; it’s a good bonding procedure.” Sma was aware of Skaffen-Amtiskaw glowing red just behind her. She brought the yellow and brown device closer to her face. “Listen, Xenophobe—” “Xeny.” “Xeny. You are a million-ton starship. A Torturer class Rapid Offensive Unit. Even—” “But I’m demilitarized!” “Even without your principle armament, I bet you could waste planets if you wanted to—” “Aw, come on; any silly GCU can do that!” “So what’s all this shit for?” She shook the furry little remote drone, quite hard. Its teeth chattered. “It’s for a laugh!” it cried. “Sma, don’t you appreciate a joke?” “I don’t know. Do you appreciate being drop-kicked back to the accommodation area?” “Ooh! What’s your problem, lady? Have you got something against small furry animals, or what?” Look Ms. Sma, I know very well I’m a ship, and I do everything I’m asked to do—including taking you to this frankly rather fuzzily specified destination—and do it very efficiently, too. If there was the slightest sniff of any real action, and I had to start acting like a warship, this construct in your hands would go lifeless and limp immediately, and I’d battle as ferociously and decisively as I’ve been trained to. Meanwhile, like my human colleagues, I amuse myself harmlessly. If you really hate my current appearance, all right; I’ll change it; I’ll be an ordinary drone, or just a disembodied voice, or talk to you through Skaffen-Amtiskaw here, or through your personal terminal. The last thing I want is to offend a guest.” Sma pursed her lips. She patted the thing on its head and sighed. “Fair enough.” “I can keep this shape?” “By all means.” “Oh goody!” It squirmed with pleasure, then opened its big eyes wide and looked hopefully at her. “Cuddle?” “Cuddle.” Sma cuddled it, patted its back. She turned to see Skaffen-Amtiskaw lying dramatically on its back in midair, its aura field flashing the lurid orange that was used to signal Sick Drone in Extreme Distress.
Iain M. Banks (Use of Weapons (Culture, #3))
When I describe for my far-away friends the Northwest’s subtle shades of weather — from gloaming skies of ‘high-gray’ to ‘low-gray’ with violet streaks like the water’s delicate aura — they wonder if my brain and body have, indeed, become water-logged. Yet still, I find myself praising the solace and privacy of fine, silver drizzle, the comforting cloaks of salt, mold, moss, and fog, the secretive shelter of cedar and clouds. Whether it’s in the Florida Keys, along the rocky Maine coast, within the Gulf of Mexico’s warm curves, on the brave Outer Banks; or, for those who nestle near inland seas, such as the brine-steeped Great Salk Lake or the Midwest’s Great Lakes — water is alive and in relationship with those of us who are blessed with such a world-shaping, yet abiding, intimate ally. Every day I am moved by the double life of water — her power and her humility. But most of all, I am grateful for the partnership of this great body of inland sea. Living by water, I am never alone. Just as water has sculpted soil and canyon, it also molds my own living space, and every story I tell. …Living by water restores my sense of balance and natural rhythm — the ebb and flow of high tides and low tides, so like the rise and fall of everyday life. Wind, water, waves are not simply a backdrop to my life, they are steady companions. And that is the grace, the gift of inviting nature to live inside my home. Like a Chambered Nautilus I spin out my days, drifting and dreaming, nurtured by marine mists, like another bright shell on the beach, balancing on the back of a greater body.
Brenda Peterson (Singing to the Sound: Visions of Nature, Animals, and Spirit)
Dream House as Sodom Like Lot’s wife, you looked back, and like Lot’s wife, you were turned into a pillar of salt(44), but unlike Lot’s wife, God gave you a second chance and turned you human again, but then you looked back again and became salt and then God took pity and gave you a third, and over and again you lurched through your many reprieves and mistakes; one moment motionless and the next gangly, your soft limbs wheeling and your body staggering into the dirt, and then stiff as a tree trunk again with an aura of dust, then windmilling down the road as fire rains down behind you; and there has never been a woman as cartoonish as you—animal to mineral and back again. --- 44. Thompson, Motif-Index of Folk-Literature, Type C961.1, Transformation to pillar of salt for breaking taboo.
Carmen Maria Machado (In the Dream House)
Il n'y a pas de comique en dehors de ce qui est proprement humain. Un paysage pourra être beau, gracieux, sublime, insignifiant ou laid ; il ne sera jamais risible. On rira d'un animal, mais parce qu'on aura surpris chez lui une attitude d'homme ou une expression humaine. On rira d'un chapeau; mais ce qu'on raille alors, ce n'est pas le morceau de feutre ou de paille, c'est la forme que les hommes lui ont donnée, c'est le caprice humain dont il a pris le moule. Comment un fait aussi important, dans sa simplicité, n'a-t-il pas fixé davantage l'attention des philosophes? Plusieurs ont défini l'homme "un animal qui sait rire". Ils auraient aussi bien pu le définir un animal qui fait rire, car si quelque autre animal y parvient, ou quelque objet inanimé, c'est par une ressemblance avec l'homme, par la marque que l'homme y imprime ou par l'usage que l'homme en fait.
Henri Bergson (Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic)
She drifted down the walk carelessly for a moment, stunned by the night. The moon had come out, and though not dramatically full or a perfect crescent, its three quarters were bright enough to turn the fog and dew and all that had the power to shimmer a bright silver, and everything else- the metal of the streetlamps, the gates, the cracks in the cobbles- a velvety black. After a moment Wendy recovered from the strange beauty and remembered why she was there. She padded into the street before she could rethink anything and pulled up her hood. "Why didn't I do this earlier?" she marveled. Sneaking out when she wasn't supposed to was its own kind of adventure, its own kind of magic. London was beautiful. It felt like she had the whole city to herself except for a stray cat or two. Despite never venturing beyond the neighborhood much by herself, she had plenty of time with maps, studying them for someday adventures. And as all roads lead to Rome, so too do all the major thoroughfares wind up at the Thames. Names like Vauxhall and Victoria (and Horseferry) sprang from her brain as clearly as if there had been signs in the sky pointing the way. Besides Lost Boys and pirates, Wendy had occasionally terrified her brothers with stories about Springheel Jack and the half-animal orphan children with catlike eyes who roamed the streets at night. As the minutes wore on she felt her initial bravery dissipate and terror slowly creep down her neck- along with the fog, which was also somehow finding its way under her coat, chilling her to her core. "If I'm not careful I'm liable to catch a terrible head cold! Perhaps that's really why people don't adventure out in London at night," she told herself sternly, chasing away thoughts of crazed, dagger-wielding murderers with a vision of ugly red runny noses and cod-liver oil. But was it safer to walk down the middle of the street, far from shadowed corners where villains might lurk? Being exposed out in the open meant she would be more easily seen by police or other do-gooders who would try to escort her home. "My mother is sick and requires this one particular tonic that can only be obtained from the chemist across town," she practiced. "A nasty decoction of elderberries and slippery elm, but it does such wonders for your throat. No one else has it. And do you know how hard it is to call for a cab this time of night? In this part of town? That's the crime, really." In less time than she imagined it would take, Wendy arrived at a promenade that overlooked the mighty Thames. She had never seen it from that particular angle before or at that time of night. On either bank, windows of all the more important buildings glowed with candles or gas lamps or even electric lights behind their icy panes, little tiny yellow auras that lifted her heart. "I do wish I had done this before," she breathed. Maybe if she had, then things wouldn't have come to this...
Liz Braswell (Straight On Till Morning)
Inanimate matter, or objects, radiate an overall static (fixed) field that can be altered by light radiation and thought-modulated human auras. Modulating an energy field, whether objective or subjective, means adding to or subtracting from a static field. That means that something, or some intelligence, is contained in the modulation of the field. Animate matter radiates a varying field that can be altered by light radiation and by human auras.

is manifest in the emergence of crowd-sourced sites such as Wikipedia, in which individual human authorship is obscured so as to endow the content with the transcendent aura of a holy text.
Meghan O'Gieblyn (God, Human, Animal, Machine: Technology, Metaphor, and the Search for Meaning)
J’ai une bonne et une mauvaise nouvelle ! leur crie le législateur. Laquelle souhaitez-vous entendre en premier ? – La bonne ! répondent les hédonistes. – Je L’ai convaincu de réduire le nombre des commandements de quinze à dix ! – Alléluia ! s’écrie la foule indisciplinée. Et la mauvaise ? – L’adultère en fait toujours partie. Donc des règles il y en aura, mais par pitié, pas trop non plus. Nous sommes partagés dans ce domaine, même quand nous savons qu’elles nous sont bénéfiques. Si nous sommes des esprits éclairés, des personnes de caractère, elles peuvent nous sembler contraignantes, un affront à notre sens des responsabilités et à notre volonté de mener notre vie comme bon nous semble. Pourquoi devrions-nous être jugés d’après les règles d’un autre ? Mais nous sommes jugés. Après tout, Dieu n’a pas remis à Moïse les « dix suggestions », mais bien les dix commandements. En esprit libre, ma première réaction à un ordre est de me dire que personne, pas même Dieu, n’a à me dire ce que j’ai à faire, même si c’est pour mon bien. L’histoire du Veau d’or nous rappelle également que, sans règles, nous pouvons vite devenir esclaves de nos passions. Ce qui n’a rien de libérateur. Et ce récit sous-entend autre chose : livrés à nous-mêmes et à notre propre jugement, nous avons vite tendance à nous satisfaire du minimum, à nous contenter de peu. En l’occurrence, d’un faux animal qui fait ressortir nos instincts les plus vils d’une façon totalement débridée. Grâce à cette vieille histoire hébraïque, nous comprenons mieux
Jordan B. Peterson (12 règles pour une vie : Un antidote au chaos)
When you don't know what is happening in your Life, Trust God. The Being who created the Majestic Mountains would know how to shatter the rocks that come your way. The Being who created the Unfathomable Oceans would know how to sooth the wounds of your Soul. The Being who created all the Life forms and blessed consciousness in the Animate and Inanimate things all around you, would know how to mould your intellect and emotions in the aura of Stillness and Passion. The Being who breathes Life in everything would know how to bring you back to life each time this World tries to deaden your spirit. The Being who makes certain that the Sun shows up every morning to light up the world would know how to pull you out from the Darkest of hollows. The Being who ensures the walk of the Moon every single night would now how to carve the path that leads you Home. The Being who paints a bed of stars weaving a magic path of Stardust would know how to sprinkle the dust of the pixies in your Life just when you need it. The Being who thrives on Love, who breathes in Love, who is the very Source of Love would know how to find you the Love that's always the sacred thread to your Soul. The Being who Knows you Better than You do, would know what to do with Your Life even before you start to wonder about it. The Being who is the Greatest Artist and Author has already painted your Soul and written the Story of your Life, so trust in Him, all while doing your bit knowing He knows it all, especially when you don't know what's happening in your Life.
Debatrayee Banerjee (A Whispering Leaf. . .)
Man can only come in contact with God through meditation. Meditation is the only way to come in contact with God.  God symbolizes the whole, the universe. God symbolizes the totality of all: the sky, the stars, the moon, the sun, the people, the trees, the animals, the flowers and the earth. God is aloving symbol of all that is.  God is not a person, God is a presence. God is consciousness. When you are silent in deep meditation, you start feeling a presence surrounding you, and surrounding the stars, the people, the trees and the mountains. It is a subtle aura of light. The whole existence is radiating life, light and joy.  The whole existence is a dance, which never begins and never ends. The moment you start feeling this infinity of existence, there is nothing that you can do than bow down in gratefulness to the mystery of existence. There is nothing else to do, but to bow down in thankfulnessfor the precious gift that has been given to you. There is nothing else to do, but to bow down to the precious gift that you are alive and that you can love and be loved.  Thankfulness for this gift arises when we say yes to this great opportunity. Thankfulness arises when we put the mind aside, and start functioning from the heart. That is meditation.  Meditation means to move from the head to the heart. Then God is felt, and the presence becomes tangible. Then one has to surrender to the presence. One has to become one with God.

NASA engineers and technicians at the Cape were pushing themselves so hard in the final weeks people had to be ordered home to rest. It was a grueling time and yet the sort of interlude of adrenal exhilaration that men remember all their lives. It was an interlude of the dedication of body and soul to a cause such as men usually experience only during war. Well … this was war, even though no one had spelled it out in just that way. Without knowing it, they were caught up in the primordial spirit of single combat. Just days from now one of the lads would be up on top of the rocket for real. Everyone felt he had the life of the astronaut, whichever was chosen (only a few knew), in his hands. The MA–1 explosion here at the Cape nine months ago had been a chilling experience, even for veterans of flight test. The seven astronauts had been assembled for the event, partly to give them confidence in the new system. And their gullets had been stuck up toward the sky like everybody else’s, when the whole assembly blew to bits over their heads. In a few days one of those very lads would be lying on top of a rocket (albeit a Redstone, not an Atlas) when the candle was lit. Just about everybody here in NASA had seen the boys close up. NASA was like a family that way. Ever since the end of the Second World War the phrase “government bureaucracy” had invariably provoked sniggers. But a bureaucracy was nothing more than a machine for communal work, after all, and in those grueling and gorgeous weeks of the spring of 1961 the men and women of NASA’s Space Task Group for Project Mercury knew that bureaucracy, when coupled with a spiritual motivation, in this case true patriotism and profound concern for the life of the single-combat warrior himself—bureaucracy, poor gross hideously ridiculed twentieth-century bureaucracy, could take on the aura, even the ecstasy, of communion. The passion that now animated NASA spread out even into the surrounding community of Cocoa Beach. The grisliest down-home alligator-poaching crackers manning the gasoline pumps on Route A1A would say to the tourists, as the No-Knock flowed, “Well, that Atlas vehicle’s given us more fits than a June bug on a porch bulb, but we got real confidence in that Redstone, and I think we’re gonna make it.” Everyone who felt the spirit of NASA at that time wanted to be part of it. It took on a religious dimension that engineers, no less than pilots, would resist putting into words. But all felt it.
Tom Wolfe (The Right Stuff)
Somehow this was what was most terrifying, the way the dream just vanished, like an animal scuttling down a hole and leaving nothing behind but an aura of horror and filth. So many dreadful things had happened in her life and surely they were what she dreamed of, yet how was it she forgot everything as soon as she woke? Were the visions in her dreams so terrible that her mind, feeling itself about to wake, whipped them away and hid them from her? If so, she was not glad of it; she would rather know than not know. She had woken lying on her back with her fists clenched
Benjamin Black (Elegy for April (Quirke #3))
The most important thing for you to do,” he’d said, “is to make your aura as benign as possible.” “My aura? You mean, what, like my chi or something? Give off warm vibes before I blow them all away?” “You laugh, but it's true. The best close-in killers are able to mask that predatory vibration they send out, the thing that tickles your animal hindbrain when you're on the receiving end and causes all the hairs on your neck to stand up, the old ancestral genetic early-warning radar that told you something had you zeroed in and was moving to make the kill.” “Are you saying they'll be able to sense I'm going to kill them?” I had asked. “If they are good at their jobs, yes. A good bodyguard, really anyone with true combat instincts, can tune in on that aggressive mental energy when it's pointed their way. For most people, it only works at a subconscious level - like instinctively moving out of the way of someone because they make you uneasy and you can't quite put your finger on why, or turning around for no reason and seeing that someone across the room is glaring at you. We all do it from time to time, but it's not conscious. But the real survivors, the operators who dodge those shots that should have taken them down, but they somehow avoid at the last millisecond, those people can use their inner threat radar actively, and can pick up on the predatory vibe coming their way.” “So you're saying I need to act casual, and not give them the stink-eye to keep from tipping them off.” “It’s more than that. You need to learn how to control that aggressive aura, make it work for you. A good killer can put themselves into stealth mode right up to when they pull the trigger, and then when all the innocent bystanders are getting in the way and slowing you down, milling about in a panic, you dial it up all the way and blast it out like the bow-wave on a ship running at flank speed. You can clear a path through the crowd; they'll get out of your way without even knowing why. I've made it work for me, and I’ve seen others do it as well. It's just another weapon in your arsenal.” And so, I did
Jack Badelaire (Killer Instincts)
Le mal n’est pas sans remède. « Tout pouvoir est méchant dès qu’on le laisse faire ; tout pouvoir est sage dès qu’il se sent jugé2119. » Enfin, c’est la raison principale, au moins dans une démocratie, il faut résister aux pouvoirs parce qu’il importe de préserver la liberté de l’esprit, qui n’existe qu’en l’individu, contre toute puissance, même démocratique, contre tout groupe, même et surtout majoritaire. On a vu que la majorité, pour dire la loi, est la meilleure voie. Mais le vrai ne se vote pas, ni le bien, ni le juste. Quand tout le peuple condamnerait Socrate ou Dreyfus, ils n’en seraient pas moins innocents. Le danger existe d’une dictature de l’opinion publique ou du nombre. Ce ne serait qu’une tyrannie comme une autre, pire qu’une autre peut-être par l’enthousiasme. Ce serait « la théocratie revenue2120 », autrement dit l’idolâtrie du gros animal. Nos ministres ou nos journalistes seraient nos prêtres. La liberté n’y survivrait pas. La justice n’y survivrait pas. C’est où Platon revient. « La Saint-Barthélemy, quand elle aura été approuvée par le plus grand nombre, n’était pas juste pour cela2121. » Une loi injuste, pareillement, est certes une loi (positivisme juridique) ; mais n’en est pas moins injuste pour cela. Le suffrage universel ne prouve que lui-même. C’est dire qu’il ne prouve rien et ne saurait suffire à la démocratie. « Quand le pape, infaillible et irresponsable, serait élu au suffrage universel, l’Église ne serait pas démocratique par cela seul. Un tyran peut être élu au suffrage universel, et n’être pas moins tyran pour cela. Ce qui importe, ce n’est pas l’origine des pouvoirs, c’est le contrôle continu et efficace que les gouvernés exercent sur les gouvernants2122. » La démocratie, ce n’est pas le choix du chef, que les tyrannies peuvent connaître aussi ; c’est la résistance, contre les abus du pouvoir, c’est la critique, c’est le « pouvoir de contrôle, de blâme et enfin de renvoi2123 ». Tel est le sens, selon Alain, du parlementarisme et de la liberté de la presse. Mais ni parlement ni journaux n’y suffisent. Car ce contrôle, pour être effectif, doit être le fait de sujets libres ; et, pour être juste, d’esprits raisonnables, c’est-à-dire d’esprits. « La fonction de penser ne se délègue point », écrit Alain2124 ; « la vigilance ne se délègue point2125. » La démocratie n’échappe à la tyrannie du nombre que par le jugement individuel : le peuple, même souverain, n’est protégé de la barbarie et de lui-même que par la vigilance des citoyens.
André Comte-Sponville (Du tragique au matérialisme (et retour): Vingt-six études sur Montaigne, Pascal, Spinoza, Nietzsche et quelques autres)
Android Girl Just Wants to Have a Baby! The first thing I do when I wake up is run my hands over my body. I like to make sure all my wires are in place. I lotion my silicone shell and snap my hair helmet over my head. I once had a dream I was a real girl, but when I woke up I was still myself in my paleness under the halogen light. The saliva of androids emits a spectral resonance, barely sticky between freshly-gapped teeth. After they made me, the first thing they did was peel the cellophane from my eyes. I blinked once, twice, and cried because that's how you say you are alive before you are given language. They named each of my heartbeats on the oceanic monitor: Guanyin, Yama, Nuwa, Fuxi, Chang'e, Zao-Shen. I listened to them blur into one. The fetus carves for itself a hollowed vector, a fragile wetness. In utero, extension cords are umbilical. Before puberty, I did not know there was such a thing as dishonor. Diss-on- her. This is what they said when I began to drip petrol between my legs. A tension exists between ritual and proof, a fantasy and its execution. Since then, I have been to the emergency room twice. The first time for a suicide attempt, and the second time because my earring was swallowed up by my newly pierced earlobe overnight, and when I woke up, it was tangled in a helix of wires. The idea of dying doesn't scare me but the ocean does. I was once told that fish will swim up my orifices if I am no longer a virgin. Is anyone thinking about erotic magazines when they are not aroused, pubes parted harshly down the center like red seas? My body carries the weight of four hundred eggs. I rise from a weird slumber, let them drip into the bath. This is what I'll leave behind - tiny shards purer than me. I have always been afraid of pregnant women because of their power, and because I don't yet understand what it means to carry something stubborn and blossoming inside of me, screeching towards an exit. The ectoplasm is the telos for the wound. A trance state is induced when salt is poured on it, pixel by pixel. I wish they had made me into an octopus instead, because octopuses die after their eggs hatch and crawl out into the sea, and I want to know what it's like to set something free into the dark unknown and trust it to choose mercy. If you can generate aura in a non-place, then there is no such thing as an authentic origin. In Chinese, the word for mercy translates to my heart hurts for you. They say my heart continues beating even after it is dislocated from my body. The sound of its beating comes from the valves opening and closing like a portal - Guanyin, Yama, Nuwa, Fuxi, Chang'e, Zao-Shen. I first learned about love by watching a sex tape where a girl looks up from performing fellatio and says, show them the sunset. Her boyfriend pans the camera to the sky, which is tinged violet like a bruise. In this moment, the sky displaces her, all digital and hyped, and saturates the scene until it collapses on me too, its transient witness. I move in the space between belly ring and catharsis. That night I have a dream where I am a camgirl, but all I do on screen is wash my laundry. Everybody loves me because I am a real girl doing real girl things. What lives on the border between meditation and oblivion, static and flux, a pomegranate seed and an embryo? I set up my webcam in the corner of the room and play ambient music while I scrub my underwear, letting soap bubbles rise up from the sink, laughing when they overflow on the linoleum floor - my frizzy hair, my pockmarked skin, my face slick with sweat. A body with exit wounds. I ride the bright rails of an animal forgetting. And when I wake up, the sky is a mess of blue.

LA MORT DE LA BICHE (MOARTEA CAPRIOAREI) La disette a tué toute brise de vent. Le soleil s’est fondu et coulé de partout. Le ciel est resté vide et brûlant Les seaux ne tirent des fontaines que de boue. Sur les bois fréquemment feux, toujours feux Dansent sauvages, sataniques jeux. Je poursuis papa en route vers les buttes, Les chardons, les sapins m’écorchent séchés. Tous les deux commençons la poursuite des chèvres, La chasse d’la famine en montagnes de tout près. La soif m’accable. Bouillit sur la pierre Le fil d’eau filtré des ruisseaux. La tempe pèse l’épaule, comme si j’erre Une autre planète, immense, étrange, ennuyeux. Nous restons dans l’endroit où encore retentissent Sur cordes de douces ondes, les ruisseaux. Quand la lune s’élève et le soleil se couche Ici viendront à la fil s’abreuver Une par une, les biches. Je dis à papa que j’ai soif. Il me fait signe de m’ taire. Enivrante eau. Comme tu t’agites limpide ! Je suis lié par soif de cette être qui meurt À l’heure fixé par loi et habitude. La vallée raisonne en bruissements flétris. Quel affreux crépuscule flotte dans l’univers ! Le sang à l’horizon. Ma poitrine rouge comme si J’ai essuyé mes mains sur mon poitrail. Comme sur autel fougères brûlent en flammes violâtres Et les étoiles frappées parmi celles-ci miroitent. Hélas ! comme je voudrais que tu ne viennes, ne viens pas Superbe offrande de mon noble bois ! Elle se monta sautant et s’arrêta Scrutant les alentours avec de crainte Ses minces narines faisaient frémir l’eau Avec les cercles en cuivre errantes. Dans ses yeux moites brillait un certain indécis Je savais qu’elle aura mal, qu’elle va mourir. Il me semblait revivre un récit Avec la biche, jadis une très belle fille. D’en haut, la pâle lumière, lunaire, Bruinait sur sa fourrure douces fleurs d’cerisier. Hélas ! comme je voudrais que pour la première fois Le coup d’fusil d’papa va échouer. Mais les vallées résonnent. Elle tombe à genoux. Elle lève sa tête, la tourne vers les étoiles La dévala alors, en déclenchant sur eaux Fuyards tourbillons de perles noires. Un oiseau bleu bonda dans les rameaux La vie d’la biche vers l’espace attardé Vola très lentement, en cris, comme en automne oiseaux Quand laissent tranquilles leurs nids tout ravagés. En chancelant je suis allé pour lui fermer Ses yeux ombreux comme en engoisse veillés de cornes Silencieux et blanc j’ai tressailli quand l’père Me dit de tout son cœur: “Voilà de la viande !” “J’ai soif”, je dis. Papa m’incite à m’abreuver. Enivrante eau, enveloppé en brume ! Je suis lié par soif de cette biche gaspillée A l’heure fixée par loi et par coutume… Mais la loi nous est déserte, étrangère Quand la vie en nous très difficile s’anime Coutumes, compassions sont toutes désertes Quand même ma sœur malade est une des victimes. La carabine d’ papa n’ émane que de fumée Hélas ! Sans vent s’empressent les feuillages en foule Papa prépare un feu tout effrayé Hélas ! comme la forêt se dénature ! De l’herbe, sans adresse, je prends en mains Une mince clochette d’un cliquetis argentin . Papa tire de la broche avec sa main Le cœur de la chevreuil et ses chauds reins. C’est quoi le cœur ?… J’ai faim. Je veux vivre, j’ voudrais… Toi, pardonne-moi, vierge ! ma biche, ma bien-aimée… J’ai sommeil… Comme il est haut le feu ! Et la forêt sauvage ! Je pleurs. Que pense papa ? Je mange. Je pleurs. Je mange… 1954 (cf. p. 15-18, traduction du roumain par Claudia PINTESCU)

There is a whisper in the waterfall, in a place no one knows about, no one has been to, somewhere where the open range stretches for miles and the horses run wild, and free and the air is crisp and fresh, and the line trees touch the sky and the wolf sleeps in the shade of the moon, my time is spent writing all my visions, all that I see and hear, sitting in my room, in the distant lands a lady sits in front of the mirror in a log cabin, across the ocean, combing her hair wondering where all her younger days have gone, and the dreams she dreamed why they never came through, her graceful eyes smile with contented embrace of the moment, as the open fire crackles in the darkness of the cabin throwing shadows onto the wall, and there’s me sitting in my room I can see her but I cannot reach her, the cat is out in the forest hunting in the light of the moon, and the dog is curled up by the fire fast asleep in solitude in silence and calm, there is nothing to explain, there is nothing to challenge the time as it ticks away at our life, in the silence of the night I am searching for answers, but none is coming forth, I guess this is how life has been for centuries, no one survives this journey, oh this desire and the passion was so strong, now it flickers in the wilderness of life, as the old age sets in, somehow beauty survives, there is always beauty before my eyes, from the past and now, and the future, it shines and embraces all the other eyes that see me with blessings of love, that is like a reservoir of love in my heart and soul, this love is in every breath I take, and every breath I exhale, nothing was lost end of the day, my heart and soul was calm and love flowed out like invisible aura into the world blessing people and animals alike and the great quantum physics of nature that has blessed me for so many years in my solitude, in my love, in my life, in my harmony, we can only find strength in our own being, yes, and as the poets write the words onto paper that only their inner self understands, I reflect on life, and give my flake of meaning, I am alone, but not lonely, as Leonard Cohen sings in the back ground, and my life feels complete, and there is dept to beauty that I experience and feel, and so life goes on my friend, just enjoy each day for each day there is nothing else there never was, stop chasing the future or regret the past, for life passes so fast, stay grounded and in the now

L'affirmation d'une émergence du psychisme chez les animaux , j'y insiste, ne me vient pas seulement de la prise en considération des vivants non humains : dès que j'ai commencé à m'interroger et à comprendre que mon frère ne sortirait jamais de la forteresse dans laquelle son 'trouble envahissant du développement' l'avait enfermé, j'ai entretenu une détestation envers la notion de propre de l'homme, si lourdement installée dans l'opinion commune et dans la philosophie. Il ne suffit pas de dire que cette croyance a privé les bêtes de tout droit, il faut ajouter qu'elle a autorisé le travers criminel qui a conduit à exclure de l'humanité ceux qui ne remplissent pas les critères décisifs : les peuples qui manquent de rationalité et d'historicité, les handicapés mentaux qui sont dépourvus de liberté et de perfectibilité, les vieillards amoindris, les nourrissons, autant d'êtres humains dépourvus des marques qui caractérisent de manière aussi autoritaire que précaire le propre de l'homme. La liste des signes de ce propre, la mise à jour, d'âge en âge, de ces critères, a de quoi susciter un rire amer. Car c'est d'un seul et même geste sans cesse réitéré, qu'on a séparé les hommes des animaux et qu'on a relégué des catégories d'hommes. Au commencement du commencement, l'homme aurait été "créé à l'image et à la ressemblance de Dieu". Plus tard, Aristote aura dit que l'être de l'homme consiste à avoir langage et raison. Mais auparavant, Anaxagore avait affirmé que l'homme pensait parce qu'il avait des mains. Il fut question de feu, d'écriture, d'agriculture, de mathématiques, de liberté, de moralité, de perfectibilité, d'aptitude à imiter, d'anticipation de la mort, de rire, d'accouplement de face, de lutte pour la reconnaissance, de travail, de névroses, d'aptitude à mentir, de partage de nourriture, d'art. Gaspard, lui, ne possède aucune de ces vertus tenues pour proprement humaines. Très peu de signes viennent de lui, qui mériteraient qu'on s'exclame : cela, un animal ne l'aurait jamais fait ! Il est né, il a grandi, ll s'est présenté à l'épreuve du propre de l'homme et il a été recalé. Son échec m'aura rendue hostile à tous les humanismes.
Elisabeth de Fontenay (Gaspard de la nuit)
Thus the service performed by the new paradigm isn’t, strictly speaking, to reveal the baseness of our moral sentiments; that baseness, per se, counts neither for nor against them; the ultimate genetic selfishness underlying an impulse is morally neutral—grounds neither for embracing the impulse nor for condemning it. Rather, the paradigm is useful because it helps us see that the aura of rightness surrounding so many of our actions may be delusional; even when they feel right, they may do harm. And surely hatred, more often than love, does harm while feeling right. That is why I contend that the new paradigm will tend to lead the thinking person toward love and away from hate. It helps us judge each feeling on its merits; and on grounds of merit, love usually wins.

You can feel the waves of the most foul fucking evil aura pouring off this book.

History teaches us that animals can feel a person’s aura,” Augustus said. “A protector chooses you—not the other way around, like most wrongly believe. When it’s clear that an animal wants to bond with you, you lock eyes and say ‘domus.
Jasmine Mas (Blood of Hercules (Villains of Lore, #1))
The feeling and evaluation of love-animated remains and steers in the conscience like a divinity and aristocratic reflection; it is the closeness of your worshipper in which you are in front of the powerful energy and intense aura with awesome sentiments, Its supplement is the basis of an inevitable, infallible, and heedful nature where the consequences of your actions should be surefire; it gears autistic blessings where there is bottomless reason because here is non-partation of unprovoked instinct without risk. This showers the allusion of scrumptious, authentic, and ripping pace; this is the gaze and regard of love, and it will always be available with mutual balance. Not leaving you feeling overlooked and undervalued, its initiatives the ovation with any suggestions of disruption credibility. You chose it because it is also godhead elevation.
