To the Eckists, who believe Twitchell merely brought Eckankar to public knowledge, the ECK master is the embodiment of the spirit the Mahanta. The Mahanta may not have an origin; Klemp referred to it as being "eternal." He also wrote that it is based in the "Ocean of Love and Mercy."[39] Conversely, Johnson, who believes Twitchell invented the religion, writes that the true origin of the ECK master can be found in various other, older spiritual theorie ...

One essay written on Eckankar from the Warren Wilson College, citing sources as recent as 1998, states that women can never be Living ECK Masters. The reason given for this was that in life, women are "negatively charged, being receivers, not senders of light." In other words, they are physically incapable of holding the position. (It was, however, apparently considered possible by some that a woman could become the Living ECK mas ...

The history of ascension predates Christianity, indeed extending back for thousands of years, yet the story of Jesus is one of the most widely known stories of ascension. In the Bible when Mary Magdalene wants to reach out and touch Christ at the tomb, he says, "Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father." This has led to the idea that the ascension process is apparently so delicate that even the touch of an ordinary human, who still holds the concepts of limitation and separation, is enough to hold the ascension process back. (T ...

The View-Master system was invented by William Gruber, an organ maker and avid photographer who lived in Portland, Oregon. He had the idea of updating the old-fashioned stereoscope by using the new Kodachrome color film that had recently become available. While a View-Master reel holds 14 film slides, there are really only seven stereoscopic images; two film slides are viewed simultaneously - one for each eye - thus simulating binocular depth perception. A chance meeting with Harold Graves, the president of Sawyer's, Inc. (a company that specialized in picture postcards) got the idea off the ground and quickly took ...

Tetra Master's gameplay skill is hard to judge due to its element of randomness. The following are various strategies that advanced players often use in gameplay. Tetra Master - Grid blocks. Every game may have up to 6 grid blocks preventing cards from being placed there, or none at all. These sometimes create spots where one or two cards can be placed in complete immunity - when a corner of the grid is free, while the surrounding grid squares are blocked. Cards that are weak or have less useful arrow arra ...

Just before the game commences, up to 6 grid-blocks can be placed on the game grid randomly. These will blank that grid square out of game play. Blocks are useless in play, and simply prevent a card from being placed in its grid square. Any arro ...

The player who controls the most cards when all cards have been placed is declared the winner. The winning player may take one of the cards from the opposition's set, but only one which was captured during the game. If the player wanted a specific card, a priority of his gameplay must be the final control of that card to allow it as a choice of prize after the game. A game win is declared "perfect" if either player succeeds in controlling all of the cards at the end of a game. In this situation, the winner claims all of his own cards ...

The album is almost a concept album in that the theme of people as puppets runs through most of the songs on the album. Many of the songs deal with a particular "master": anger in "Battery", addiction in "Master of Puppets", madness in "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", and religion in "Leper Messiah". In addition, the notion of soldiers as cannon fodder is explored in "Disposable Heroes" and, to stretch the point somewhat, even the reference to the Cthulhu Mythos in "The Thing That Should Not Be" brings to mind the followers of a cult; "Orion", t ...

The Master is creator and leader of the Super-mutants. He is also the mastermind behind a movement called "The Unity", the aim of which is to turn every human into a Super-mutant by means of the F.E.V. and exterminate those who either oppose, or who cannot be mutated (such as the ghouls - a race of mutants which the Super-mutants regard as inferior). Arguably, the Unity is for humanity's own good, as Super-mutants supposedly are better adapted to live in a post-nuclear wasteland. Also, according to the Master, turning all living beings into one single race would finally eliminate the differences and the human fallacies th ...

Victims of Invisible Masters claim to have been sexually assaulted by a shadowy humanoid figure that was nearly always unseen by anyone else, leading a few writers on the subject to make comparisons with the Smurl haunting and the description of the attacks on Carla Moran that were portrayed in the movie, "The Entity". In general, however, the victim's descriptions of their experiences are nowhere near as violent as those two well-publicized hauntings, and are nearly always related from the re-discovery of repre ...

The action of the play occurs in the home of Halvard Solness, a middle-aged architect who has clawed his way to prominence. His single-minded focus on his job, however, has hardened him and prevented him and his wife Aline from having a meaningful private life.

Brovik, now dying, wants his son Ragnar to have more independence in the firm. Solness, however, fears that he will be eclipsed by a younger generation of architects, and refuses to allow Ragnar either to design original houses or t ...
