321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] #Blessed Temple Coin [TMPC] PoS 8% & Shaligram [SGRAM] [SHG] PoW on: January 21, 2018, 04:06:14 PM
Web Development and Social Media Currencies- STEEM is basically  changing the way Social Media, and probably Websites in general, will  work in 100 years.   


Fundraising Currencies- As an example, NASA could create a coin, 45%  premine, ask people to Mine it to support them, and then create an  exchange to trade their coin on and have mining tutorials and  everything. Or a Political Campaign could do the same thing.   


Local Currencies- There are tons of Local Currencies like Arizona  Dollars or the Ithaca Hour or Berkley Bread, but there are no Local  Cryptocurrencies that have ever caught on yet. If someone created, for  example, a New York Coin, or a Los Angeles Coin, and distributed flyers  and maybe got a few Billboards, and had mining tutorials online  somewhere. That would be a successful coin.   


Redeemable Currencies- Small Businesses, Large Businesses and  Websites can create Currencies that act as rewards for Public and  Consumer interest in their brand. For example, a Sandwich shop could  make Sandwich coin (or a coin with their shop’s name) and they can have  instructions for how to mine it in their shop and make it where anyone  at any time can redeem 100 Sandwich coins for X size Sandwich, or 50  Sandwich coins for X sized Drink, limit 1 or 2 per customer or whatever.  And if the price of Sandwich coin skyrockets they can lower the price.  This could also be done for Bakeries, or Print Shops, or Market Stalls,  or Boutiques, etc, even State Fairs and Cell Phone Companies and things  like that.   


Club Currencies- I’m not sure this has been done yet, but maybe it  has and no one has mentioned it. But a small group of people, like a  Club or a Union or an Organization of some sort, like a Church, could  start their own Currency, and just trade it amongst themselves at their  own decided value for Fiat or Barter.   


Bounty Currencies- This is similar to Fundraising, but the payment  goes directly to Freelancers doing work. A Bounty Currency is a Currency  where a Percent goes to the Miners, and a Percent goes to a Bounty  share system. So that doing X Bounty provides X shares, which is then  divided up at the end of the allotted time, and say 100 people each have  5 shares, then then each of them has 1% of the Bounty for the allotted  time. Bounties can be 1 time or permanent.   


Stored Value Currencies- A Stored Value Currency is meant to act like  Gold. It is a currency that is hard to get, and that has a stable  structure so as to ensure a high value. Maybe even backed by a  Commodity, like Gold, Silver, Chocolate, Oil, etc.   


The Bitcoin White Paper  The Bitcoin Whitepaper was something that a  lot of people didn’t read, but some people did. And it explains Bitcoins  pretty well. But that is 1 Coin. There tons of other Coins besides  Bitcoin and you can even make your own. But if you are going to make  your own, you should at least take a look at the Bitcoin Whitepaper.

322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] #Blessed Temple Coin [TMPC] PoS 8% & Shaligram [SGRAM] [SHG] PoW on: January 21, 2018, 04:00:10 PM
Here is the Syllabus for Temple Coin for anyone who wants to know what we are doing as a Community.

    STEP 1-

Christmas- Launch Temple Coin, a Proof-of-Stake Litecoin Clone, and Spread it on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, while keeping it away from people who already have a ton of different coins, so as to create a new Community, instead of getting existing Bitcoiners to come into our Community.

Week after Christmas- Create Chat Room, Create Currency Symbol, Recruit Temple Coin Emissaries

First Month- Launch a Cryptonote Mining Pool for when we start launching Cryptonotes, Launch the first Town Based Cryptonote, January 20th 2018 make the first Temple Coin sale for Malawi Strains, Give out as many Temple Coins as possible.

That first sale will create value for the Coin. The first Bitcoin sale was 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 Pizzas. That is now over $10,000,000 in Bitcoin. And I was there when Bitcoin was $5 and we personally had to go in large numbers beg companies like Paypal to accept Bitcoins. I was part of Bitcoin becoming what it is, it is guaranteed that I can get value for Currencies I make. I know what I am doing.

    STEP 2-

Second Month- Announce Temple Coin, the first Temple Coin sales, and the Community and the Chat Room and the Cryptonote Mining Pool on Bitcointalk, Bitsharestalk, and all Cryptocurrency related forums.

Find an Exchange- At this point we will begin contacting Exchanges to let them know about the Community we have that they can collect fees from if they add our coin to their exchange.

And if there is anyone that has Temple Coins but no patience, you can go ahead and start contacting Exchanges and asking them to list Temple Coin. I will get it listed somewhere by some time in February, but if you really really just have no patience, go ahead and start asking websites like these to list us:

https://novaexchange.com/markets/

https://c-cex.com/

    STEP 3- Creating Value

Once we are on an exchange, we will just start making money hand over fist.

(A) First, what I will do, is this: even if the coin is only $0.001 each or something, I will take a large portion of the Coins I have, and I will buy Silver with them. Then I will start offering Silver for sale in exchange for Temple Coins and our Town Currencies. This will create a flood of people who want to buy the Coin, because if they buy the Coin and hold it in their Wallet, it will gain 8% interest per year, and they could either wait for the Coin to go up in value a little, then use it to buy Silver, or use that 8% every year to buy Silver. And because you will be able to do that, the value will go up. I will also create Ethereum Tokens and Bitshares Assets, that we can use for Trading; and we will create a Steemit group where we all create accounts with tons of voting power.

(B) Then, once we have Silver being traded for Coins, then we will get land and start building a physical Temple. And once we have a Physical Temple, we will begin to fill it with these things:



Trading Sacred Items for Coins

Japa mala or Mala (माला), meaning: garland, is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists, usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa.

Vibhuti (vibhūti Sanskrit: विभूति; Bengali: বিভূতি ; Kannada: ವಿಭೂತಿ; Telugu: విభూతి), also called Bhasma (ash), “Viboodhi” (Telugu: విబూది) or Thiruneeru (Tamil: திருநீறு), is a word that has several meanings in Hinduism. Generally, it is used to denote the sacred ash which is made of burnt dried wood in Vedic rituals. Hindu devotees apply vibhuti traditionally as three horizontal lines across the forehead and other parts of the body to please the god Shiva. Vibhuti smeared across the forehead to the end of both eyebrows is called Tripundra.

Puranas describe these faces of Shiva as:
“Sadyojata, Vamdeva, Tatpurusha & Aghora are the four faces,
The fifth is Ishana, unknowable even to the seers”

Ishana (sanskr. Īśāna) – name of aspect of Shiva.

The name Ishana is also mentioned in Shiva Mahapurana as one of five names of the god. Īśāna has its roots in the word “ish”, which means the invisible power that governs the universe. The wielder of this power, or this power itself, is “Īśāna”. It is synonymous with Ishwar, which means “The Lord”. In Hindu Scriptures this is a name given to Shiva. As per Hindu scriptures Shiva has five heads, each denoting one of the five tattvas (elements) namely Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether (also called as Sky-element or aakash-tattva in sanskrit) that make up the universe. This fifth head of Shiva faces the upward direction, towards the sky.

Īśāna signifies the subtle ethereal form of Shiva that represents transcendental knowledge. This dimension is reinforced by Vaastu Shastra, which says that Ishanya-disha (north-eastern direction) represents Prosperity and Knowledge. So Īśāna also has a symbolic meaning. In Hindu customs, north represents wealth and happiness while the east symbolizes knowledge and peace; Īśāna is a combination of both. It is also considered to be the name of the god of Vastu Śāstra. the Brahman splits into male (Parashiva) and female (Parasakti) and manifests as the universe. The Parashiva has five aspects:

Sadyojata – west aspect that propagates manifest Brahman-associated with brahma – represents earth.
Vamadeva – north aspect that sustains manifest Brahman – associated with Vishnu – represents water
Aghora – south aspect that rejuvenates manifest Brahman – associated with Rudra – represents fire
Tatpurusha – east aspects Rishi, Muni, Jnani, yogi – represents air
Isana – internal aspect that conceals – associated with all that exist – represents ether

     STEP 4-

From here it gets a little harder to explain as a point by point operation, so I will more generally explain what I am trying to say.

If you live in America you probably think that Religion is all about Heaven and Hell, but it turns out most Religions don’t even believe in those things.

In Hinduism Cows are considered important, and you have probably wondered why. It is because Cows give us milk, so they are considered one of your Mothers. And even today Milk is right along side Orange juice as a staple in many people’s fridge. Cows are pretty much treated like people because they are seen as a representation of the Mother Goddess Kamadhenu. No Temples are dedicated to her, but the Cows are her Temples.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamadhenu

The 7 Mothers are known as Matrikas or Matara and are important to Shaktism, which is the worship of the Feminine forces of nature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrikas

And if you look in to other Polytheistic Religions they treat Cows similarly, but they would also eat the Cow. They just thought it was fun to treat it nice first.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_%28god%29

The word “Yoga” means “to add” or “to join” or “combined”, and it can be visualized as putting a Yoke onto an Ox, in that you are employing your body for a purpose. Yoga practice is meant to be focused on the 5 Sheaths or 5 Kosha, which are: Foodstuff, Energy, Mnd-stuff, Wisdom & Bliss. The goal is to practice these things and line your body up with them so that the 5 Kosha are working together and at full capacity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosha

An important part of this process is learning about your Prana, which is in your breathing & heart.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prana

According to the Doctrine of the Three bodies in Hinduism, the human being is composed of three sariras or “bodies” emanating from Brahman by avidya, “ignorance” or “nescience”. They are often equated with the five koshas (sheets), which cover the atman. The Three Bodies Doctrine is an essential doctrine in Hinduism.

Shaktipat or Śaktipāta (Sanskrit, from shakti – “(psychic) energy” – and pāta, “to fall”) refers in Hinduism to the conferring of spiritual “energy” upon one person by another. Shaktipat can be transmitted with a sacred word or mantra, or by a look, thought or touch – the last usually to the ajna chakra or third eye of the recipient.

A Mantrik or mantric is someone who specializes in practicing mantra. In India the word mantrik & similar names are synonymous with magician in different languages. Generally a mantrik is supposed to derive his powers from the use of charms, mantras, spells and other methods. A Hindu mantrik is known to worship Kali and is often mentioned in the same breath as tantric, though there are subtle differences. A Mantrik is one who chants to please a god or evil spirit for his benefit. Mantras are sacred chantings containing magical and mystical words.

Sahasrara (Sanskrit: सहस्रार, IAST: Sahasrāra, English: “thousand-petaled”) or crown chakra is the seventh primary chakra, according to Hindu tradition.

Ajna (Sanskrit: आज्ञा, IAST: Ājńā, English: “command”) or third-eye chakra is the sixth primary chakra according to Hindu tradition.

Vishuddha (Sanskrit: विशुद्ध, IAST: Viśuddha, English: “especially pure”), or Vishuddhi, or throat chakra is the fifth primary chakra according to the Hindu tradition.

Anahata (Sanskrit: अनाहत, IAST: Anāhata, English: “unstruck”) or heart chakra is the fourth primary chakra, according to Hindu Yogic, Shakta and Buddhist Tantric traditions. In Sanskrit, anahata means “unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten”. Anahata Nad refers to the Vedic concept of unstruck sound (the sound of the celestial realm). Ananhata is associated with a calm, serene sound devoid of violence.

Manipura (Sanskrit: मणिपूर, IAST: Maṇipūra, English: “jewel city”) or solar plexus/navel chakra is the third primary chakra according to Hindu tradition.

Svadhishthana (Sanskrit: स्वाधिष्ठान, IAST: Svādhiṣṭhāna, English: “one’s own base”) or sacral chakra is the second primary chakra according to Hinduism.

Muladhara (Sanskrit: मूलाधार, IAST: Mūlādhāra, English: “root support”) or root chakra is one of the seven primary chakras according to Hinduism. It may be represented by the color red, but its root square form is usually yellow.

Yoga, including breathing techniques and postures (asana), is employed to balance the energies in the body/mind.

Mudras, or gestures

Mantras: syllables, words, and phrases
Mandalas

Yantras: symbolic diagrams of forces at work in the universe
Identification with deities

Many people don’t know this, but 92 Percent of the World’s Diamond Industry is centered in Surat India. Diamonds are actually not as expensive as we make them, and supposedly one Jewelry company owns more diamonds than the rest of the world combined. Diamonds were not a popular engagement gift in America until around the 1940s and the whole process to create diamonds that reflect light comes from the Hindu religion. When Britain owned most of the world they spread Diamonds to everyone, just like tea, and the Cullinan Diamond (the biggest diamond in the world) is still kept by the Royal family.

Diamonds are pretty much unbreakable, which is what makes them so useful. They are used on the tips of tools so that etchings can be made in rocks, or metal. But the main thing that people think of when they think of a Diamond are the facets. Diamond cutting is about getting all the right angles so that the light is most utilized and shines out in all directions as much as possible. This comes from Hindu tradition. You can see the same idea in a Rudraksha bead. A Rudraksha bead is meant to symbolize Shiva’s Eyes, the word for Diamond in Sankrit is Vairja which is the same word for lightning bolt, and lightning is associated with the God Indra. The Vairja is important to both Hindu and Buddhist cultures.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra

The picture of an orange seed is a Rudraksha Seed, you can see it has many faces just like a diamond.

Ancient Hindu scriptures mention eight types of diamonds
1. Hanspati: transparent white color like a conch,
2. Kamlapati: transparent pinkish white, like lotus petal.
3. Vajraneel: transparent blue-white, like the color of the neck of a blue jay,
4. Vanaspati: transparent green-white, like fresh blade of grass,
5. Shyamvajra: transparent smoky-grey color
6. Telia: oily,and dark color.
7. Sanloyi: yellow-green or pale green color,

The 2 topped, tapered, or scroll looking object is a ritual object is known as a Vairja, and it is meant to represent lightning and diamonds.



Plants considered Sacred to Shiva:
Marijuana, Golden Apples (Bael fruit), Ashoka Trees, Peepal Trees, Banyan Trees, Coconut Trees, Red Sandalwood Trees, Kesara Trees & Champaka Trees.

The Earth goes around the Sun, as we all know, and as the Earth goes around the Sun the Sun actually seems to move across the Horizon and it passes through those Constellations. Every day the Sun comes up in a slightly different spot than the day before, and in 365 days it goes back to the original spot. This is how Egyptians and Mayans had such great Calendars, they just made a wall to act as a fake Horizon for the Sun, then they would mark a line on the wall where the Sun rose, and at the end of the year they had 365 marks. And as the Sun seems to move around the Earth throughout the year, it passes through different Stars, and these Stars became the Constellations.

Aries, the Ram=April=Amethyst

Gemini, the Twins=June=Beryl
Cancer, the Crab=July=Emerald

The Ogdoad can be found as a theme throughout most modern religions and some ancient Religions. An example of this is ancient Egypt. In the picture above you can see that the Sun has been placed in a boat, this is known as the Solar boat and it is thought to be part of the force that moves the Sun and the Moon across the sky. But if you look in the Solar boat you will see more Gods than just the Sun and moon, this is because the Egyptians noticed the Planets in the sky and called them Gods, just like the Sun is a God. This religion can be found in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumeria, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and Modern India/Hinduism.

Then there was Horus who represented the Horizon, but he was the planet Mars. They figured out the Cycle of Mars just like the Sun, and they also had the Moon’s Cycles (And Moon Cycles give the lengths of our Months) and the Cycles of various planets. Even the Jewish Nomads knew about some of the Planets, they called Mars ‘The Blushing One’. And in Christianity the 7 known planets of the time can be found in the Ancient Greek Christian Gnostic idea of The 7 Heavens which represented the Bodies in the Heavens the Heavenly Bodies or Planets. Some people like to say “They Planets were named after the Gods, the Gods weren’t named after the planets” but that would only be true if Greece and Rome discovered the planets independently, but Greece found them first and gave them to Rome. And Egypt and Sumeria actually found them first. The 7 Heavenly bodies can still be found in our days of the week “Sun day” for the Sun, “Mon Day” for the Moon, etc. And the spoked wheel spread with this knowledge, an the spokes and their function are themselves a symbol of this.

A lot of people see statues of Zeus now a days and think that Ancient people thought Zeus threw lightning bolts at them, but before people knew about Gravity and the Atmosphere, they thought the Planets controlled the weather and it was specifically thought that Jupiter (Zeus) controlled the Lightning.

Many plants used to be thought to have a cycle based on the Planets and not the sun, and in the modern ‘Old Farmer’s Almanac’ every year they publish the planetary crop planting cycle. And the history of Machines and Gears actually comes from the measuring of the sky on boats, and people making mechanical navigation devices. So Machines come from this also.





In Dream Yoga the Dream world is seen as a place where you can gain enlightenment, and the goal of Dream Yoga is to make massive progress in your dreams.It is similar to regular Yoga and is based on some of the same ideas. For example “Sadhana” which is Spiritual Progress, which is the base word of “Sadhu”, which is a Shaivite Priest.

When you read most Lucid Dream Guides, they will usually just get you to the Point of Lucid Dreaming. Much of it is focused on the WILD, MILD, DILD, WBTB, etc etc. Techniques. But often times people do not make suggestions past that, except maybe to Fly or Meditate or use Jedi powers. But in Tibetan Dream Yoga “Realize You are Dreaming” is step 1. Not the last step like in usual guides, that is the first step in Dream Yoga.

The next goal in Dream Yoga is to eliminate any fears while dreaming. So once you “Realize you are in a dream” you have to actually “Realize you are not in the real world” so you have no restrictions. Breathe underwater, Put out fire with your hands, Jump off a cliff, Find a snake or anything else you may be afraid of or think can harm you.

Then once you are aware that you are not in the real world, the goal is to contemplate the real world and how it is similar in how time passes and things happen, etc. Meditate on reality while you are in your dream.

You can always go back to thinking about reality and interchange between different goals, but the next goal is to take control of the dream world. Playing with the Physics instead of just living within them. Not just making yourself fly, but making a tree carry you to the clouds. Or changing the weather or moving the Sun, Moon and Stars. Or Shrinking a mountain. Also try making things completely different, for example turning a Fish into a Dog, or turning a Tree into a Person.

Then, you have to realize that in the dream you are not a constant object. You can also change in the dream to become other things.

Then from there, the goal is to contact different entities in the dream and travel to different places with them or through them. These worlds are known as “Loka” in the ancient Sanskrit Language and are also talked about in Hindu tradition. The Entities you are supposed to seek are known as “Yidam” and can also be found in Buddhist Yoga.

Comparing your dreams to reality is a must in Dream Yoga so writing down your dreams is probably a good way to start doing that. Also thinking about your dreams while you Meditate is a good opposite technique to Meditating on Reality while you are dreaming.

A Ritual used in Tibetan Dream Yoga is known as the “RAOM GAOM” Mantra, where you say “RRRAAAOOOMMMM” and “GGGGAAAOOOMMM” with special emphasis on the “O”. This is meant to help you remember your dreams if you do it when you wake up.

This is the Dream Yoga technique for inducing Dreams. The Symbol below is the Tibetan Syllable that sounds like “Ah”. If you imagine this symbol in the middle of your chest, and think “Ahhhhhhh” in your head. It will help you go into a Vivid or Lucid dream.

The Calendar is 52 Weeks, a Card Deck is 52 Cards. The Deck of Cards that we all know today comes from Tarot Cards. Spades is Swords, Clubs is Wands, Diamonds is Pentagrams/Coins, and Hearts is Chalices. There are 52 Cards in a Deck, and 52 Weeks in a year. There are 4 Suits, and there are 4 Seasons. Knowing this you can begin to see how Systems were created for Predicting things using Cards.

Each of the 4 Seasons has been associated with a Direction, a Lunar Pattern, a Solar Pattern and a Color; The Seasons are also associated with the Birth Signs (Capricorn, Aquarius, Leo, Libra, Pieces, etc). This is what is used in Cultures all over the world, it is also in the Native American Medicine Wheel. And in the Chinese Calendar, as well as other Calendars, the Years are associated with Animals. In the Chinese Animals Calendar you can begin to see the larger Cycles of time, that are forgotten in the modern day to day, year to year thinking.

Panchaloha (Sanskrit Devanagari: पञ्चलोह; Tamil: பஞ்சலோகம், ஐம்பொன்(aimpon); IAST: pańcaloha; Tibetan: ལྕགས་རིགས་སྣ་ལྔ, Wylie: lcags rigs sna lnga) (also called Panchaloham, Panchdhatu – literally, “five metals”) is a term for traditional five-metal alloys of sacred significance used for making Hindu temple idols (Murti). Making Panchaloha images was a well kept secret for a long time and their color changing properties added to their mysticism.

The composition is laid down in the Shilpa shastras, an ancient Sanskrit text on idol making. It is traditionally described as an alloy of gold(Au), silver(Ag), copper(Cu), iron(Fe) and lead(Pb) as the major constituent. Instead of lead, some use tin (Sn) or zinc (Zn). It is widely believed that wearing jewellery made of Panchaloha / Panchdhatu brings balance in life, self-confidence, good health, fortune, prosperity, and peace of mind.

In some traditions, particularly Tibetan, it was considered auspicious to use thokcha, meteorite iron; either as a component of the alloy in general, or for a specific object or purpose. The amount used could vary, depending upon the material’s availability and suitability, among other considerations. A small, largely symbolic quantity of “sky-iron” might be added, or it might be included as a significant part of the alloy-recipe.

Practical compositions are Cu, Au, Ag, Pb and Zn; Cu, Ag, Pb, Fe and Sn; and Sn, Cu, Fe, Pb, and brass. Because of the cost, gold and silver are now omitted from the manufacture of general-purpose icons, where copper, brass, and lead in the ratio 29:2:1 are used.

In Hinduism, a murti (Devanagari: मूर्ति), or murthi, or vigraha or pratima typically refers to an image that expresses a Divine Spirit (murta). Meaning literally “embodiment”, a murti is a representation of a divinity, made usually of stone, wood, or metal, which serves as a means through which a divinity may be worshiped. Hindus consider a murti worthy of serving as a focus of divine worship only after the divine is invoked in it for the purpose of offering worship. The depiction of the divinity must reflect the gestures and proportions outlined in religious tradition.

A murti is a means of communication with the god or Brahman in Hinduism. Murti is a Sanskrit term which is meant to point to the transcendent “otherness” of the divine; therefore the word “murti” cannot be substituted with or translated as statue or idol without losing the underlying concept’s inherent meaning and taking on unrelated connotations.

braxas. For this name the Greek table is used. Abraxas in Greek is Ἀβραξας. Α = 1, β = 2, ρ = 100, α = 1, ξ =60, α = 1, ς = 200, the sum being 365, the number of days in the year. This number furnishes the key to the mystery of Abraxas, who is symbolic of the 365 Ćons, or Spirits of the Days, gathered together in one composite personality. Abraxas is symbolic of five creatures, and as the circle of the year actually consists of 360 degrees, each of the emanating deities is one-fifth of this power, or 72, one of the most sacred numbers in the Old Testament of the Jewish people and in their Qabbalistic system.

One of the most popular of magical devices was the amulet, worn upon the person or attached to objects and animals (the Hebrew word for amulet, kame‘a, has the root meaning “to bind”) . Even in our supposedly non-superstitious age the good-luck charm is still quite familiar, apologetically displayed on watch-chain, or carried furtively in the recesses of pockets and purses—the rabbit’s foot, the horseshoe, lucky coins, rings engraved with Chinese or Hebrew letters, animal molars. How much more common, then, are such objects in societies which unashamedly and openly accept them for what they are, whether in the less sophisticated regions of our contemporary world, or in the medieval and ancient worlds, which did not for a moment doubt their efficacy! As a matter of fact, it has been suggested that all ornaments worn on the person were originally amulets.

A familiar characteristic of magic is the injunction to do things in reverse, to walk backward, to put one’s clothing on backward, to throw things behind one’s back. The same principle applies in incantations, and Talmudic and medieval Jewish charms amply illustrate its operation. Biblical quotations were often recited both forward and backward, mystical names were reversed; sometimes the words were actually written backward as they were to be uttered, so that it requires considerable mental agility not to be taken in by the unnatural rendering. Phrases that are capable of being read alike in either direction were especially highly prized. The purpose was to capitalize the mystery of the bizarre and unfamiliar, and the power that is associated with the ability to reverse the natural order of things.

One type of incantation whose power derived from its form rather than its content was especially suited to dispel demons. Its Jewish archetype is found in the Talmudic spell against the demon Shabriri, which runs:

Shabriri
briri
riri
iri
ri

As Rashi explained its effect, “The demon shrinks and finally vanishes as he hears his name decreasing letter by letter.

The greatest feat to which the magician aspired was that of creation. Discussing this subject in the pages of the Talmud, R. Papa observed that the creative power of magic covered only gross and massive objects and creatures, such as the camel, but not fine and delicate things, and R. Eliezer maintained that the demons, to whom the magician owes this power, can create nothing smaller than a barley-corn. This was the standard limitation imposed on sorcerers by medieval writers, though, as the Gemara explained: “The demons cannot actually create even large beings, but merely assemble already created but unused primeval matter.” Thus the ultimate act of genesis was reserved for God alone. It was nowhere suggested that human life could be created by ordinary magical means.

But the Talmud recognized also a second method of creation, which required the application of the “Laws of Creation,” probably an oral collection of mystical traditions relating to the original creation of the universe. The kind of magic comprised in these “Laws of Creation” was the only one that was “permitted ab initio.” By means of it, “if the righteous so desired they could create a universe. Raba created a man and sent him to R. Zeira, who conversed with him but he could not answer; so he exclaimed, ‘You are created by magic, return to your dust!’ Rabbis Ḥanina and Oshaya used to sit every Friday and occupy themselves with the Book [read: Laws] of Creation and create a three-year-old calf which they ate.” For a description of this method we must rely on the tradition preserved by the commentators; Rashi wrote, “They used to combine the letters of the Name by which the universe was created; this is not to be considered forbidden magic, for the works of God were brought into being through His holy Name.” The Talmudic Laws of Creation (unrelated to the later mystical Book of Creation) appear, then, to have been an exposition of the familiar name-magic, the foremost constituent of medieval Jewish practice, but in consonance with the difficulty and the prodigiousness of its object, a very exalted and esoteric department. Medieval Jews, like their Christian contemporaries, were avid of the power to create human life, and believed implicitly in man’s ability to do so. William of Auvergne (thirteenth century) wrote, “Men have tried to produce, and thought that they succeeded in producing human life in other ways than by the usual generative process,” but the methods pursued by non-Jews were less subtle than the one proposed by the Talmud. For example, a fourteenth-century Christian writer cited the Arab Rasis (tenth century) on generating a human being by putting an unnamed substance in a vase filled with horse manure, for three days.

The thirteenth-century German Ḥasidim (Pietists and Mystics) were especially intrigued by this problem. From them comes the use of the word golem (literally, shapeless or lifeless matter) to designate a homunculus created by the magical invocation of names.

The image was to be made of “virgin soil, from a mountainous place where no man has ever dug before,” and the incantation, which comprised “the alphabets of the 221 gates,” must be recited over every single organ individually. A further detail, often noted, was the incision upon the forehead of the name of God, or of the word emet (“truth”). The destruction of this creature was effected by removing that name, by erasing the initial letter of emet, leaving met (“dead”), or by reversing the creative combinations, for, as R. Jacob b. Shalom, who came to Barcelona from Germany in 1325, remarked, the law of destruction is nothing more than a reversal of the law of creation.

323  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] The Temple Coin Team on: January 21, 2018, 03:45:34 PM
Here is the Syllabus for Temple Coin for anyone who wants to know what we are doing as a Community.

    STEP 1-

Christmas- Launch Temple Coin, a Proof-of-Stake Litecoin Clone, and Spread it on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, while keeping it away from people who already have a ton of different coins, so as to create a new Community, instead of getting existing Bitcoiners to come into our Community.

Week after Christmas- Create Chat Room, Create Currency Symbol, Recruit Temple Coin Emissaries

First Month- Launch a Cryptonote Mining Pool for when we start launching Cryptonotes, Launch the first Town Based Cryptonote, January 20th 2018 make the first Temple Coin sale for Malawi Strains, Give out as many Temple Coins as possible.

That first sale will create value for the Coin. The first Bitcoin sale was 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 Pizzas. That is now over $10,000,000 in Bitcoin. And I was there when Bitcoin was $5 and we personally had to go in large numbers beg companies like Paypal to accept Bitcoins. I was part of Bitcoin becoming what it is, it is guaranteed that I can get value for Currencies I make. I know what I am doing.

    STEP 2-

Second Month- Announce Temple Coin, the first Temple Coin sales, and the Community and the Chat Room and the Cryptonote Mining Pool on Bitcointalk, Bitsharestalk, and all Cryptocurrency related forums.

Find an Exchange- At this point we will begin contacting Exchanges to let them know about the Community we have that they can collect fees from if they add our coin to their exchange.

And if there is anyone that has Temple Coins but no patience, you can go ahead and start contacting Exchanges and asking them to list Temple Coin. I will get it listed somewhere by some time in February, but if you really really just have no patience, go ahead and start asking websites like these to list us:

https://novaexchange.com/markets/

https://c-cex.com/

    STEP 3- Creating Value

Once we are on an exchange, we will just start making money hand over fist.

(A) First, what I will do, is this: even if the coin is only $0.001 each or something, I will take a large portion of the Coins I have, and I will buy Silver with them. Then I will start offering Silver for sale in exchange for Temple Coins and our Town Currencies. This will create a flood of people who want to buy the Coin, because if they buy the Coin and hold it in their Wallet, it will gain 8% interest per year, and they could either wait for the Coin to go up in value a little, then use it to buy Silver, or use that 8% every year to buy Silver. And because you will be able to do that, the value will go up. I will also create Ethereum Tokens and Bitshares Assets, that we can use for Trading; and we will create a Steemit group where we all create accounts with tons of voting power.

(B) Then, once we have Silver being traded for Coins, then we will get land and start building a physical Temple. And once we have a Physical Temple, we will begin to fill it with these things:



Trading Sacred Items for Coins

Japa mala or Mala (माला), meaning: garland, is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists, usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa.

Vibhuti (vibhūti Sanskrit: विभूति; Bengali: বিভূতি ; Kannada: ವಿಭೂತಿ; Telugu: విభూతి), also called Bhasma (ash), “Viboodhi” (Telugu: విబూది) or Thiruneeru (Tamil: திருநீறு), is a word that has several meanings in Hinduism. Generally, it is used to denote the sacred ash which is made of burnt dried wood in Vedic rituals. Hindu devotees apply vibhuti traditionally as three horizontal lines across the forehead and other parts of the body to please the god Shiva. Vibhuti smeared across the forehead to the end of both eyebrows is called Tripundra.

https://www.vedicvaani.com/bhasma-vibhooti-powder

Puranas describe these faces of Shiva as:
“Sadyojata, Vamdeva, Tatpurusha & Aghora are the four faces,
The fifth is Ishana, unknowable even to the seers”

Ishana (sanskr. Īśāna) – name of aspect of Shiva.

The name Ishana is also mentioned in Shiva Mahapurana as one of five names of the god. Īśāna has its roots in the word “ish”, which means the invisible power that governs the universe. The wielder of this power, or this power itself, is “Īśāna”. It is synonymous with Ishwar, which means “The Lord”. In Hindu Scriptures this is a name given to Shiva. As per Hindu scriptures Shiva has five heads, each denoting one of the five tattvas (elements) namely Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether (also called as Sky-element or aakash-tattva in sanskrit) that make up the universe. This fifth head of Shiva faces the upward direction, towards the sky.

Īśāna signifies the subtle ethereal form of Shiva that represents transcendental knowledge. This dimension is reinforced by Vaastu Shastra, which says that Ishanya-disha (north-eastern direction) represents Prosperity and Knowledge. So Īśāna also has a symbolic meaning. In Hindu customs, north represents wealth and happiness while the east symbolizes knowledge and peace; Īśāna is a combination of both. It is also considered to be the name of the god of Vastu Śāstra. the Brahman splits into male (Parashiva) and female (Parasakti) and manifests as the universe. The Parashiva has five aspects:

Sadyojata – west aspect that propagates manifest Brahman-associated with brahma – represents earth.
Vamadeva – north aspect that sustains manifest Brahman – associated with Vishnu – represents water
Aghora – south aspect that rejuvenates manifest Brahman – associated with Rudra – represents fire
Tatpurusha – east aspects Rishi, Muni, Jnani, yogi – represents air
Isana – internal aspect that conceals – associated with all that exist – represents ether

     STEP 4-

From here it gets a little harder to explain as a point by point operation, so I will more generally explain what I am trying to say.

If you live in America you probably think that Religion is all about Heaven and Hell, but it turns out most Religions don’t even believe in those things.

In Hinduism Cows are considered important, and you have probably wondered why. It is because Cows give us milk, so they are considered one of your Mothers. And even today Milk is right along side Orange juice as a staple in many people’s fridge. Cows are pretty much treated like people because they are seen as a representation of the Mother Goddess Kamadhenu. No Temples are dedicated to her, but the Cows are her Temples.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamadhenu

The 7 Mothers are known as Matrikas or Matara and are important to Shaktism, which is the worship of the Feminine forces of nature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrikas

And if you look in to other Polytheistic Religions they treat Cows similarly, but they would also eat the Cow. They just thought it was fun to treat it nice first.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_%28god%29

The word “Yoga” means “to add” or “to join” or “combined”, and it can be visualized as putting a Yoke onto an Ox, in that you are employing your body for a purpose. Yoga practice is meant to be focused on the 5 Sheaths or 5 Kosha, which are: Foodstuff, Energy, Mnd-stuff, Wisdom & Bliss. The goal is to practice these things and line your body up with them so that the 5 Kosha are working together and at full capacity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosha

An important part of this process is learning about your Prana, which is in your breathing & heart.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prana

According to the Doctrine of the Three bodies in Hinduism, the human being is composed of three sariras or “bodies” emanating from Brahman by avidya, “ignorance” or “nescience”. They are often equated with the five koshas (sheets), which cover the atman. The Three Bodies Doctrine is an essential doctrine in Hinduism.

Shaktipat or Śaktipāta (Sanskrit, from shakti – “(psychic) energy” – and pāta, “to fall”) refers in Hinduism to the conferring of spiritual “energy” upon one person by another. Shaktipat can be transmitted with a sacred word or mantra, or by a look, thought or touch – the last usually to the ajna chakra or third eye of the recipient.

A Mantrik or mantric is someone who specializes in practicing mantra. In India the word mantrik & similar names are synonymous with magician in different languages. Generally a mantrik is supposed to derive his powers from the use of charms, mantras, spells and other methods. A Hindu mantrik is known to worship Kali and is often mentioned in the same breath as tantric, though there are subtle differences. A Mantrik is one who chants to please a god or evil spirit for his benefit. Mantras are sacred chantings containing magical and mystical words.

Sahasrara (Sanskrit: सहस्रार, IAST: Sahasrāra, English: “thousand-petaled”) or crown chakra is the seventh primary chakra, according to Hindu tradition.

Ajna (Sanskrit: आज्ञा, IAST: Ājńā, English: “command”) or third-eye chakra is the sixth primary chakra according to Hindu tradition.

Vishuddha (Sanskrit: विशुद्ध, IAST: Viśuddha, English: “especially pure”), or Vishuddhi, or throat chakra is the fifth primary chakra according to the Hindu tradition.

Anahata (Sanskrit: अनाहत, IAST: Anāhata, English: “unstruck”) or heart chakra is the fourth primary chakra, according to Hindu Yogic, Shakta and Buddhist Tantric traditions. In Sanskrit, anahata means “unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten”. Anahata Nad refers to the Vedic concept of unstruck sound (the sound of the celestial realm). Ananhata is associated with a calm, serene sound devoid of violence.

Manipura (Sanskrit: मणिपूर, IAST: Maṇipūra, English: “jewel city”) or solar plexus/navel chakra is the third primary chakra according to Hindu tradition.

Svadhishthana (Sanskrit: स्वाधिष्ठान, IAST: Svādhiṣṭhāna, English: “one’s own base”) or sacral chakra is the second primary chakra according to Hinduism.

Muladhara (Sanskrit: मूलाधार, IAST: Mūlādhāra, English: “root support”) or root chakra is one of the seven primary chakras according to Hinduism. It may be represented by the color red, but its root square form is usually yellow.

Yoga, including breathing techniques and postures (asana), is employed to balance the energies in the body/mind.

Mudras, or gestures

Mantras: syllables, words, and phrases
Mandalas

Yantras: symbolic diagrams of forces at work in the universe
Identification with deities

Many people don’t know this, but 92 Percent of the World’s Diamond Industry is centered in Surat India. Diamonds are actually not as expensive as we make them, and supposedly one Jewelry company owns more diamonds than the rest of the world combined. Diamonds were not a popular engagement gift in America until around the 1940s and the whole process to create diamonds that reflect light comes from the Hindu religion. When Britain owned most of the world they spread Diamonds to everyone, just like tea, and the Cullinan Diamond (the biggest diamond in the world) is still kept by the Royal family.

Diamonds are pretty much unbreakable, which is what makes them so useful. They are used on the tips of tools so that etchings can be made in rocks, or metal. But the main thing that people think of when they think of a Diamond are the facets. Diamond cutting is about getting all the right angles so that the light is most utilized and shines out in all directions as much as possible. This comes from Hindu tradition. You can see the same idea in a Rudraksha bead. A Rudraksha bead is meant to symbolize Shiva’s Eyes, the word for Diamond in Sankrit is Vairja which is the same word for lightning bolt, and lightning is associated with the God Indra. The Vairja is important to both Hindu and Buddhist cultures.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra

The picture of an orange seed is a Rudraksha Seed, you can see it has many faces just like a diamond.

Ancient Hindu scriptures mention eight types of diamonds
1. Hanspati: transparent white color like a conch,

The Earth goes around the Sun, as we all know, and as the Earth goes around the Sun the Sun actually seems to move across the Horizon and it passes through those Constellations. Every day the Sun comes up in a slightly different spot than the day before, and in 365 days it goes back to the original spot. This is how Egyptians and Mayans had such great Calendars, they just made a wall to act as a fake Horizon for the Sun, then they would mark a line on the wall where the Sun rose, and at the end of the year they had 365 marks. And as the Sun seems to move around the Earth throughout the year, it passes through different Stars, and these Stars became the Constellations.

The Ogdoad can be found as a theme throughout most modern religions and some ancient Religions. An example of this is ancient Egypt. In the picture above you can see that the Sun has been placed in a boat, this is known as the Solar boat and it is thought to be part of the force that moves the Sun and the Moon across the sky. But if you look in the Solar boat you will see more Gods than just the Sun and moon, this is because the Egyptians noticed the Planets in the sky and called them Gods, just like the Sun is a God. This religion can be found in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumeria, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and Modern India/Hinduism.

Then there was Horus who represented the Horizon, but he was the planet Mars. They figured out the Cycle of Mars just like the Sun, and they also had the Moon’s Cycles (And Moon Cycles give the lengths of our Months) and the Cycles of various planets. Even the Jewish Nomads knew about some of the Planets, they called Mars ‘The Blushing One’. And in Christianity the 7 known planets of the time can be found in the Ancient Greek Christian Gnostic idea of The 7 Heavens which represented the Bodies in the Heavens the Heavenly Bodies or Planets. Some people like to say “They Planets were named after the Gods, the Gods weren’t named after the planets” but that would only be true if Greece and Rome discovered the planets independently, but Greece found them first and gave them to Rome. And Egypt and Sumeria actually found them first. The 7 Heavenly bodies can still be found in our days of the week “Sun day” for the Sun, “Mon Day” for the Moon, etc. And the spoked wheel spread with this knowledge, an the spokes and their function are themselves a symbol of this.

A lot of people see statues of Zeus now a days and think that Ancient people thought Zeus threw lightning bolts at them, but before people knew about Gravity and the Atmosphere, they thought the Planets controlled the weather and it was specifically thought that Jupiter (Zeus) controlled the Lightning.

Many plants used to be thought to have a cycle based on the Planets and not the sun, and in the modern ‘Old Farmer’s Almanac’ every year they publish the planetary crop planting cycle. And the history of Machines and Gears actually comes from the measuring of the sky on boats, and people making mechanical navigation devices. So Machines come from this also.





In Dream Yoga the Dream world is seen as a place where you can gain enlightenment, and the goal of Dream Yoga is to make massive progress in your dreams.It is similar to regular Yoga and is based on some of the same ideas. For example “Sadhana” which is Spiritual Progress, which is the base word of “Sadhu”, which is a Shaivite Priest.

When you read most Lucid Dream Guides, they will usually just get you to the Point of Lucid Dreaming. Much of it is focused on the WILD, MILD, DILD, WBTB, etc etc. Techniques. But often times people do not make suggestions past that, except maybe to Fly or Meditate or use Jedi powers. But in Tibetan Dream Yoga “Realize You are Dreaming” is step 1. Not the last step like in usual guides, that is the first step in Dream Yoga.

The next goal in Dream Yoga is to eliminate any fears while dreaming. So once you “Realize you are in a dream” you have to actually “Realize you are not in the real world” so you have no restrictions. Breathe underwater, Put out fire with your hands, Jump off a cliff, Find a snake or anything else you may be afraid of or think can harm you.

Then once you are aware that you are not in the real world, the goal is to contemplate the real world and how it is similar in how time passes and things happen, etc. Meditate on reality while you are in your dream.

You can always go back to thinking about reality and interchange between different goals, but the next goal is to take control of the dream world. Playing with the Physics instead of just living within them. Not just making yourself fly, but making a tree carry you to the clouds. Or changing the weather or moving the Sun, Moon and Stars. Or Shrinking a mountain. Also try making things completely different, for example turning a Fish into a Dog, or turning a Tree into a Person.

Then, you have to realize that in the dream you are not a constant object. You can also change in the dream to become other things.

Then from there, the goal is to contact different entities in the dream and travel to different places with them or through them. These worlds are known as “Loka” in the ancient Sanskrit Language and are also talked about in Hindu tradition. The Entities you are supposed to seek are known as “Yidam” and can also be found in Buddhist Yoga.

Comparing your dreams to reality is a must in Dream Yoga so writing down your dreams is probably a good way to start doing that. Also thinking about your dreams while you Meditate is a good opposite technique to Meditating on Reality while you are dreaming.

A Ritual used in Tibetan Dream Yoga is known as the “RAOM GAOM” Mantra, where you say “RRRAAAOOOMMMM” and “GGGGAAAOOOMMM” with special emphasis on the “O”. This is meant to help you remember your dreams if you do it when you wake up.

This is the Dream Yoga technique for inducing Dreams. The Symbol below is the Tibetan Syllable that sounds like “Ah”. If you imagine this symbol in the middle of your chest, and think “Ahhhhhhh” in your head. It will help you go into a Vivid or Lucid dream.

The Calendar is 52 Weeks, a Card Deck is 52 Cards. The Deck of Cards that we all know today comes from Tarot Cards. Spades is Swords, Clubs is Wands, Diamonds is Pentagrams/Coins, and Hearts is Chalices. There are 52 Cards in a Deck, and 52 Weeks in a year. There are 4 Suits, and there are 4 Seasons. Knowing this you can begin to see how Systems were created for Predicting things using Cards.

Each of the 4 Seasons has been associated with a Direction, a Lunar Pattern, a Solar Pattern and a Color; The Seasons are also associated with the Birth Signs (Capricorn, Aquarius, Leo, Libra, Pieces, etc). This is what is used in Cultures all over the world, it is also in the Native American Medicine Wheel. And in the Chinese Calendar, as well as other Calendars, the Years are associated with Animals. In the Chinese Animals Calendar you can begin to see the larger Cycles of time, that are forgotten in the modern day to day, year to year thinking.

Panchaloha (Sanskrit Devanagari: पञ्चलोह; Tamil: பஞ்சலோகம், ஐம்பொன்(aimpon); IAST: pańcaloha; Tibetan: ལྕགས་རིགས་སྣ་ལྔ, Wylie: lcags rigs sna lnga) (also called Panchaloham, Panchdhatu – literally, “five metals”) is a term for traditional five-metal alloys of sacred significance used for making Hindu temple idols (Murti). Making Panchaloha images was a well kept secret for a long time and their color changing properties added to their mysticism.

The composition is laid down in the Shilpa shastras, an ancient Sanskrit text on idol making. It is traditionally described as an alloy of gold(Au), silver(Ag), copper(Cu), iron(Fe) and lead(Pb) as the major constituent. Instead of lead, some use tin (Sn) or zinc (Zn). It is widely believed that wearing jewellery made of Panchaloha / Panchdhatu brings balance in life, self-confidence, good health, fortune, prosperity, and peace of mind.

In some traditions, particularly Tibetan, it was considered auspicious to use thokcha, meteorite iron; either as a component of the alloy in general, or for a specific object or purpose. The amount used could vary, depending upon the material’s availability and suitability, among other considerations. A small, largely symbolic quantity of “sky-iron” might be added, or it might be included as a significant part of the alloy-recipe.

Practical compositions are Cu, Au, Ag, Pb and Zn; Cu, Ag, Pb, Fe and Sn; and Sn, Cu, Fe, Pb, and brass. Because of the cost, gold and silver are now omitted from the manufacture of general-purpose icons, where copper, brass, and lead in the ratio 29:2:1 are used.

In Hinduism, a murti (Devanagari: मूर्ति), or murthi, or vigraha or pratima typically refers to an image that expresses a Divine Spirit (murta). Meaning literally “embodiment”, a murti is a representation of a divinity, made usually of stone, wood, or metal, which serves as a means through which a divinity may be worshiped. Hindus consider a murti worthy of serving as a focus of divine worship only after the divine is invoked in it for the purpose of offering worship. The depiction of the divinity must reflect the gestures and proportions outlined in religious tradition.

A murti is a means of communication with the god or Brahman in Hinduism. Murti is a Sanskrit term which is meant to point to the transcendent “otherness” of the divine; therefore the word “murti” cannot be substituted with or translated as statue or idol without losing the underlying concept’s inherent meaning and taking on unrelated connotations.

braxas. For this name the Greek table is used. Abraxas in Greek is Ἀβραξας. Α = 1, β = 2, ρ = 100, α = 1, ξ =60, α = 1, ς = 200, the sum being 365, the number of days in the year. This number furnishes the key to the mystery of Abraxas, who is symbolic of the 365 Ćons, or Spirits of the Days, gathered together in one composite personality. Abraxas is symbolic of five creatures, and as the circle of the year actually consists of 360 degrees, each of the emanating deities is one-fifth of this power, or 72, one of the most sacred numbers in the Old Testament of the Jewish people and in their Qabbalistic system.

One of the most popular of magical devices was the amulet, worn upon the person or attached to objects and animals (the Hebrew word for amulet, kame‘a, has the root meaning “to bind”) . Even in our supposedly non-superstitious age the good-luck charm is still quite familiar, apologetically displayed on watch-chain, or carried furtively in the recesses of pockets and purses—the rabbit’s foot, the horseshoe, lucky coins, rings engraved with Chinese or Hebrew letters, animal molars. How much more common, then, are such objects in societies which unashamedly and openly accept them for what they are, whether in the less sophisticated regions of our contemporary world, or in the medieval and ancient worlds, which did not for a moment doubt their efficacy! As a matter of fact, it has been suggested that all ornaments worn on the person were originally amulets.

A familiar characteristic of magic is the injunction to do things in reverse, to walk backward, to put one’s clothing on backward, to throw things behind one’s back. The same principle applies in incantations, and Talmudic and medieval Jewish charms amply illustrate its operation. Biblical quotations were often recited both forward and backward, mystical names were reversed; sometimes the words were actually written backward as they were to be uttered, so that it requires considerable mental agility not to be taken in by the unnatural rendering. Phrases that are capable of being read alike in either direction were especially highly prized. The purpose was to capitalize the mystery of the bizarre and unfamiliar, and the power that is associated with the ability to reverse the natural order of things.

One type of incantation whose power derived from its form rather than its content was especially suited to dispel demons. Its Jewish archetype is found in the Talmudic spell against the demon Shabriri, which runs:

Shabriri
briri
riri
iri
ri

As Rashi explained its effect, “The demon shrinks and finally vanishes as he hears his name decreasing letter by letter.

The greatest feat to which the magician aspired was that of creation. Discussing this subject in the pages of the Talmud, R. Papa observed that the creative power of magic covered only gross and massive objects and creatures, such as the camel, but not fine and delicate things, and R. Eliezer maintained that the demons, to whom the magician owes this power, can create nothing smaller than a barley-corn. This was the standard limitation imposed on sorcerers by medieval writers, though, as the Gemara explained: “The demons cannot actually create even large beings, but merely assemble already created but unused primeval matter.” Thus the ultimate act of genesis was reserved for God alone. It was nowhere suggested that human life could be created by ordinary magical means.

But the Talmud recognized also a second method of creation, which required the application of the “Laws of Creation,” probably an oral collection of mystical traditions relating to the original creation of the universe. The kind of magic comprised in these “Laws of Creation” was the only one that was “permitted ab initio.” By means of it, “if the righteous so desired they could create a universe. Raba created a man and sent him to R. Zeira, who conversed with him but he could not answer; so he exclaimed, ‘You are created by magic, return to your dust!’ Rabbis Ḥanina and Oshaya used to sit every Friday and occupy themselves with the Book [read: Laws] of Creation and create a three-year-old calf which they ate.” For a description of this method we must rely on the tradition preserved by the commentators; Rashi wrote, “They used to combine the letters of the Name by which the universe was created; this is not to be considered forbidden magic, for the works of God were brought into being through His holy Name.” The Talmudic Laws of Creation (unrelated to the later mystical Book of Creation) appear, then, to have been an exposition of the familiar name-magic, the foremost constituent of medieval Jewish practice, but in consonance with the difficulty and the prodigiousness of its object, a very exalted and esoteric department. Medieval Jews, like their Christian contemporaries, were avid of the power to create human life, and believed implicitly in man’s ability to do so. William of Auvergne (thirteenth century) wrote, “Men have tried to produce, and thought that they succeeded in producing human life in other ways than by the usual generative process,” but the methods pursued by non-Jews were less subtle than the one proposed by the Talmud. For example, a fourteenth-century Christian writer cited the Arab Rasis (tenth century) on generating a human being by putting an unnamed substance in a vase filled with horse manure, for three days.

The thirteenth-century German Ḥasidim (Pietists and Mystics) were especially intrigued by this problem. From them comes the use of the word golem (literally, shapeless or lifeless matter) to designate a homunculus created by the magical invocation of names.

The image was to be made of “virgin soil, from a mountainous place where no man has ever dug before,” and the incantation, which comprised “the alphabets of the 221 gates,” must be recited over every single organ individually. A further detail, often noted, was the incision upon the forehead of the name of God, or of the word emet (“truth”). The destruction of this creature was effected by removing that name, by erasing the initial letter of emet, leaving met (“dead”), or by reversing the creative combinations, for, as R. Jacob b. Shalom, who came to Barcelona from Germany in 1325, remarked, the law of destruction is nothing more than a reversal of the law of creation.

325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [ANN] The Temple Coin Team on: January 21, 2018, 03:22:49 PM

I have been involved with Bitcoin since 2012 and was involved in getting Bitcoin accepted by various Companies. I did a campaign to get Steemit in the News, which got it to $5 for the first time and solidified it's name in the Crypto-world, and I can get the attention of Media and Journalists when the Market Cap of any Coin goes up by $100,000,000.00 or so within a week or less. I recently discovered how to create my own Genesis Blocks, and have been putting together a Team of Developers.

Let me explain how I discovered Bitcoin. One day, I wanted to know how to get to the Silk Road,I just decided that I wanted to see what it was. I had been shown it 1 time previously randomly, glancingly, years before. And I just wanted to see what it was because it was becoming a big topic again. I found a link on Reddit, and had to download the Onion Browser. I found the Silk Road and everything was marked with a little bitcoin dollar symbol. So I copied and pasted the Bitcoin dollar symbol into Google, because I was confused by it, and didn't know if it was dollars, or some thing for their website or whatever. So I googled the symbol and found Bitcoin, and Bitcointalk. And started the Bitcointown Concept, then Bud Light Copied me with their town and the character advertising it and everything went crazy from there (that's not all that happened Nationally with me and the Media, but that is where everything really started).

That is why Temple Coin is represented by ॐand ཨ because it needs the symbol. And those symbols mean more than "Money".

I am going to explain my Experience with Religion, in order to help people better understand how I became an American Hindu at age 14, and started the Shaivite Temple and the first Religious American Marijuana Strains in a World of Modern Medical and Recreational Strains.



I was born and raised in and around Dallas TX, on January 20th 1992 to Tracy Lopez and Scott Gallagher. As of writing this I have only ever been north of Colorado to go to Canada once and Illinois a few times, where my Dad’s family lives in a small town called Antioch. The name of that town was actually suggested as a joke by the less Religious townspeople, but the more Religious ones went with it, and that is what it is called. I have lived in Dallas TX, Austin TX, Lafayette LA, Corona CA, Kino Bay Sonora MX (Mexico), Portales NM, Marathon Key FL, Goulds FL, Pueblo CO, Denver CO. And have visited other States and Countries.

 

I was mainly raised by my Mom. My Dad was focused on Paper and Ink, and Printing; at one point when I was a baby living in Mesquite, right next to the worst Neighborhood in Dallas, someone lived with us who used my Dad’s Print Shop to print Counterfeit money, because it is the same equipment they use at the Mint. But when I was young, my Mom would tell me “Come put your hand on the Ouija board, it needs more energy”. I would say that she is a Spiritualist; and we have had many many experiences with the Spirit World as a family, including the Death of my 12 year old brother Mason in 2013.

 

I was raised Christian, but we had Spell Books in our house, and were introduced to various Homeopathic Practitioners, and Acupuncturists, Mediums, Chiropractors, and things like NAET. And though I was raised in a Methodist Church, as soon as I went through Confirmation and was introduced to other Churches and Religions, I was no longer a Christian. I went through Confirmation, but I was not Truly Confirmed because I was not Christian. This is when I began to really seek out the answer to the question “Which Religion is right?” and my brothers were both beginning to become old enough to understand some things, so I began preforming tests. I wanted to know how much of Reality was founded on belief. So I would do things like tell my little brothers “If you believe that this wood is water, you can put your hand through it”, and I would test them (this will be continued in part 2, as it is the foundation of my understanding of Science in a Religious sense that allows me to break everything down so easily when explaining Chemistry, etc). During this same time we began to introduce friends in our Home Town to our Spiritual Beliefs, and we would use Ouija boards, and I have been with a group to hold a Seyonce at the Town Lake near the Movie Theater. Then when I turned 14 I Converted to Islam, and was interested in Wicca, and eventually tried Marijuana for the first time, and for most people they may try Marijuana and decide that they like to use Marijuana and say “I am so high right now”, which is actually a waste. What I discovered was that if I used Marijuana, and took that mental state and used it to read encyclopedias, and read Religious books, and read anything you could, that Marijuana provides you something. And I slowly realized that this was God, that I had found God. First I read the Bible at the age of 14, cover to cover, and I decided that the Bible was like a History book; with people having sex with their fathers to continue their families, and people killing their families to take power, and people killing other people to make sure their Gods don’t come back, and I found it to be lacking as a Religious Text.

 

I read the Quran, and was told about the Miracles in the Quran, and Muslim friends of mine in Highschool explained how their Family member had experienced the Power of God over Evil Spirits; and for a while, I even converted to Islam. For people who don’t know, Islam is a Religion of Symbols and Talismans which protect you from Evil and Magic, that is a big part of Islam. And Satan refuses to bow to Adam (humans) because he is made of Fire and Light, while we are made of Dust. But I eventually discovered the Rig Veda, and Converted to Hinduism.

 

Hinduism to me is the only real Religion. With Christianity, you may experience an Evil Spirit, and you pray to God, and close your eyes, and hold something tight, and the Evil may dissipate. But you did not see your God, you may be able to call on your God, you may be able to see Jesus, you may be able to feel your God, you may be able to see his Miracles and presence in the World. But you can not see your God. In Hinduism, the Gods are real. Shiva is present on Earth in the Physical form of Marijuana, in the Metaphysical form of Dancing, and in Yoga, and in Meditation. Shiva is present in all of these things. While Agni is Fire, the messenger, no different from the Wing Footed Mercury of the Greek Religion, Agni, Fire, is the messenger of the Gods. And when you burn something, it is like sending it as a Broadcast directly to God. This is why as Hindus we cremate our Dead, I personally carry my brother’s ashes in a Silver Container on a Chain around my neck. Surya is the Sun, the literally physical Sun in the Sky, the God which provides plants with the energy to create energy that is then used by all other lifeforms on Earth. Without the Sun, there would be no Calories and the world would wither away.

 

And if you read the Christian Bible, or the Quran, or most other texts, they are full of Evil, and a God that protects you from Evil, but at a price. In Hinduism, the book is about asking God for a Winning Horse, and a prosperity, Milk and Butter. About thanking the World and Circumstances. The Hindu Religious text is what Christians pretend their Religious text is when they are telling you not to listen to the guys with the megaphones talking about fire and Brimstone. In Hinduism, there is no Heaven and Hell, you are reincarnated. And there are Cycles to the Universe, similarly to how every year there is Winter (death) and Spring (rebirth). In Hinduism there are larger Cycles, and the Universe goes through these Cycles. It is called Dharma, or the Law of the Universe.


Gandhi explains God as this Law:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkdSpe8aCis

Transcript of the Speech in that video
There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses.

But it is possible to reason out the existence of God to an [unintelligible] exchange. Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who rules, or why, and how he rules. And yet they know that there is a power that certainly rules.

In my tour last year in Mysore I met many poor villagers and I found upon inquiry that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simple said some God ruled it. If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I, who am infinitely lesser in respect to God than they to their ruler need not be surprised if I do not realize the presence of God, the King of kings.

Nevertheless I do feel as the poor villagers felt about Mysore, that there is orderliness in the universe. There is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is not a blind law, for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings. And thanks to the marvelous researches of Sir J.C. Bose, it can now be proved that even matter is life.

That law then which governs all life is God. Law and the Lawgiver are one. I may not deny the law or the Lawgiver because I know so little about it or him, just as my denial or ignorance of the existence of an earthly power will avail me nothing. Even so, my denial of God and his law will not liberate me from its operation. Whereas, humble and mute acceptance of divine authority makes life’s journey easier even as the acceptance of earthly rule makes life under it easier.

I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever dying, ever guiding, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together; that creates, dissolves, and recreates. That informing power of spirit is God. And since nothing else that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, he alone is.

And if this power is benevolent or malevolent, I see it as purely benevolent. For, I can see that in the midst of death, life persists. In the midst of untruth, truth persists. In the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that God is life, truth, light. He is love. He is the supreme good. But, he is no God who merely satisfies the intellect, if he ever does. God to be God must rule the heart and transform it. He must express himself in ever smallest act of his [goodery?]. This can only be done through a definite realization more real than the fives senses can ever prove use.

Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses it is [imperial?], it is proved not by extreme extraneous evidence, but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within. Such testimony is to be found in the experiences of an unbroken line of prophets and sages in all countries and climes. To reject this evidence is to deny oneself. This realization is preceded by an immovable faith. He who would in his own person, test the fact of God’s presence can do so by a living faith.

And since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous evidence, the safest course is to believe in the moral government of the world and therefore in the supremacy of the moral law, the law of truth and love. Exercise of faiths will be the safest where there is the clear determination summarily to reject all that is contrary to truth and love.

I confess that I have no argument to convince through reason. Faith transcends reason. All that I can advise is not to attempt the impossible.

Way to GO!!!!! Wink Wink Wink

I saw this on Facebook and have been mining since day one. I am in full support of this project and it's values, it's openness to newbies and helping people see the potential of crypto.

I believe these coins will be very valuable, and if you have not had the chance to get any now is definitely the time to do it.

Hello Everyone. My name is Luke and I am part of the Temple Coin community. I have been creating graphics for the Temple Coin.

This is an amazing opportunity.
I have this coin and been in from the start, i don't know anything about mining these coins and i'm far too busy to learn so i set this up  https://twitter.com/ElixinolCbdOil let it run on auto posting apps to help.

I get between 0.5 - 2.0 templecoins mined all day long, no idea how it works or what it even is .... i heard the word "seeds can be bought with 10K coins" so i was like ok lets go !

i own http://potads.ml and work for some major seedbanks ... hoping one day the templecoin can be used to buy seeds on the sites in the future, or even on our site as currency for the members etc.


anyways hi and bye, please don't ask too much as i know nothing about bitcoin wizardry  Smiley

326  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] #Blessed Temple Coin [TMPC] PoS 8% & Shaligram [SGRAM] [SHG] PoW on: January 21, 2018, 03:21:03 PM
Oh, and btw, I will introduce myself now also.

I have been involved with Bitcoin since 2012 and was involved in getting Bitcoin accepted by various Companies. I did a campaign to get Steemit in the News, which got it to $5 for the first time and solidified it's name in the Crypto-world, and I can get the attention of Media and Journalists when the Market Cap of any Coin goes up by $100,000,000.00 or so within a week or less. I recently discovered how to create my own Genesis Blocks, and have been putting together a Team of Developers.

Let me explain how I discovered Bitcoin. One day, I wanted to know how to get to the Silk Road,I just decided that I wanted to see what it was. I had been shown it 1 time previously randomly, glancingly, years before. And I just wanted to see what it was because it was becoming a big topic again. I found a link on Reddit, and had to download the Onion Browser. I found the Silk Road and everything was marked with a little bitcoin dollar symbol. So I copied and pasted the Bitcoin dollar symbol into Google, because I was confused by it, and didn't know if it was dollars, or some thing for their website or whatever. So I googled the symbol and found Bitcoin, and Bitcointalk. And started the Bitcointown Concept, then Bud Light Copied me with their town and the character advertising it and everything went crazy from there (that's not all that happened Nationally with me and the Media, but that is where everything really started).

That is why Temple Coin is represented by ॐand ཨ because it needs the symbol. And those symbols mean more than "Money".

I am going to explain my Experience with Religion, in order to help people better understand how I became an American Hindu at age 14, and started the Shaivite Temple and the first Religious American Marijuana Strains in a World of Modern Medical and Recreational Strains.



I was born and raised in and around Dallas TX, on January 20th 1992 to Tracy Lopez and Scott Gallagher. As of writing this I have only ever been north of Colorado to go to Canada once and Illinois a few times, where my Dad’s family lives in a small town called Antioch. The name of that town was actually suggested as a joke by the less Religious townspeople, but the more Religious ones went with it, and that is what it is called. I have lived in Dallas TX, Austin TX, Lafayette LA, Corona CA, Kino Bay Sonora MX (Mexico), Portales NM, Marathon Key FL, Goulds FL, Pueblo CO, Denver CO. And have visited other States and Countries.

 

I was mainly raised by my Mom. My Dad was focused on Paper and Ink, and Printing; at one point when I was a baby living in Mesquite, right next to the worst Neighborhood in Dallas, someone lived with us who used my Dad’s Print Shop to print Counterfeit money, because it is the same equipment they use at the Mint. But when I was young, my Mom would tell me “Come put your hand on the Ouija board, it needs more energy”. I would say that she is a Spiritualist; and we have had many many experiences with the Spirit World as a family, including the Death of my 12 year old brother Mason in 2013.

 

I was raised Christian, but we had Spell Books in our house, and were introduced to various Homeopathic Practitioners, and Acupuncturists, Mediums, Chiropractors, and things like NAET. And though I was raised in a Methodist Church, as soon as I went through Confirmation and was introduced to other Churches and Religions, I was no longer a Christian. I went through Confirmation, but I was not Truly Confirmed because I was not Christian. This is when I began to really seek out the answer to the question “Which Religion is right?” and my brothers were both beginning to become old enough to understand some things, so I began preforming tests. I wanted to know how much of Reality was founded on belief. So I would do things like tell my little brothers “If you believe that this wood is water, you can put your hand through it”, and I would test them (this will be continued in part 2, as it is the foundation of my understanding of Science in a Religious sense that allows me to break everything down so easily when explaining Chemistry, etc). During this same time we began to introduce friends in our Home Town to our Spiritual Beliefs, and we would use Ouija boards, and I have been with a group to hold a Seyonce at the Town Lake near the Movie Theater. Then when I turned 14 I Converted to Islam, and was interested in Wicca, and eventually tried Marijuana for the first time, and for most people they may try Marijuana and decide that they like to use Marijuana and say “I am so high right now”, which is actually a waste. What I discovered was that if I used Marijuana, and took that mental state and used it to read encyclopedias, and read Religious books, and read anything you could, that Marijuana provides you something. And I slowly realized that this was God, that I had found God. First I read the Bible at the age of 14, cover to cover, and I decided that the Bible was like a History book; with people having sex with their fathers to continue their families, and people killing their families to take power, and people killing other people to make sure their Gods don’t come back, and I found it to be lacking as a Religious Text.

 

I read the Quran, and was told about the Miracles in the Quran, and Muslim friends of mine in Highschool explained how their Family member had experienced the Power of God over Evil Spirits; and for a while, I even converted to Islam. For people who don’t know, Islam is a Religion of Symbols and Talismans which protect you from Evil and Magic, that is a big part of Islam. And Satan refuses to bow to Adam (humans) because he is made of Fire and Light, while we are made of Dust. But I eventually discovered the Rig Veda, and Converted to Hinduism.

 

Hinduism to me is the only real Religion. With Christianity, you may experience an Evil Spirit, and you pray to God, and close your eyes, and hold something tight, and the Evil may dissipate. But you did not see your God, you may be able to call on your God, you may be able to see Jesus, you may be able to feel your God, you may be able to see his Miracles and presence in the World. But you can not see your God. In Hinduism, the Gods are real. Shiva is present on Earth in the Physical form of Marijuana, in the Metaphysical form of Dancing, and in Yoga, and in Meditation. Shiva is present in all of these things. While Agni is Fire, the messenger, no different from the Wing Footed Mercury of the Greek Religion, Agni, Fire, is the messenger of the Gods. And when you burn something, it is like sending it as a Broadcast directly to God. This is why as Hindus we cremate our Dead, I personally carry my brother’s ashes in a Silver Container on a Chain around my neck. Surya is the Sun, the literally physical Sun in the Sky, the God which provides plants with the energy to create energy that is then used by all other lifeforms on Earth. Without the Sun, there would be no Calories and the world would wither away.

 

And if you read the Christian Bible, or the Quran, or most other texts, they are full of Evil, and a God that protects you from Evil, but at a price. In Hinduism, the book is about asking God for a Winning Horse, and a prosperity, Milk and Butter. About thanking the World and Circumstances. The Hindu Religious text is what Christians pretend their Religious text is when they are telling you not to listen to the guys with the megaphones talking about fire and Brimstone. In Hinduism, there is no Heaven and Hell, you are reincarnated. And there are Cycles to the Universe, similarly to how every year there is Winter (death) and Spring (rebirth). In Hinduism there are larger Cycles, and the Universe goes through these Cycles. It is called Dharma, or the Law of the Universe.


Gandhi explains God as this Law:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkdSpe8aCis

Transcript of the Speech in that video
There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses.

But it is possible to reason out the existence of God to an [unintelligible] exchange. Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who rules, or why, and how he rules. And yet they know that there is a power that certainly rules.

In my tour last year in Mysore I met many poor villagers and I found upon inquiry that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simple said some God ruled it. If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I, who am infinitely lesser in respect to God than they to their ruler need not be surprised if I do not realize the presence of God, the King of kings.

Nevertheless I do feel as the poor villagers felt about Mysore, that there is orderliness in the universe. There is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is not a blind law, for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings. And thanks to the marvelous researches of Sir J.C. Bose, it can now be proved that even matter is life.

That law then which governs all life is God. Law and the Lawgiver are one. I may not deny the law or the Lawgiver because I know so little about it or him, just as my denial or ignorance of the existence of an earthly power will avail me nothing. Even so, my denial of God and his law will not liberate me from its operation. Whereas, humble and mute acceptance of divine authority makes life’s journey easier even as the acceptance of earthly rule makes life under it easier.

I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever dying, ever guiding, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together; that creates, dissolves, and recreates. That informing power of spirit is God. And since nothing else that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, he alone is.

And if this power is benevolent or malevolent, I see it as purely benevolent. For, I can see that in the midst of death, life persists. In the midst of untruth, truth persists. In the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that God is life, truth, light. He is love. He is the supreme good. But, he is no God who merely satisfies the intellect, if he ever does. God to be God must rule the heart and transform it. He must express himself in ever smallest act of his [goodery?]. This can only be done through a definite realization more real than the fives senses can ever prove use.

Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses it is [imperial?], it is proved not by extreme extraneous evidence, but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within. Such testimony is to be found in the experiences of an unbroken line of prophets and sages in all countries and climes. To reject this evidence is to deny oneself. This realization is preceded by an immovable faith. He who would in his own person, test the fact of God’s presence can do so by a living faith.

And since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous evidence, the safest course is to believe in the moral government of the world and therefore in the supremacy of the moral law, the law of truth and love. Exercise of faiths will be the safest where there is the clear determination summarily to reject all that is contrary to truth and love.

I confess that I have no argument to convince through reason. Faith transcends reason. All that I can advise is not to attempt the impossible.


Here are some of our other Team Members

I'm Brahmjot. I do IT-seva, etc, for various ministries.

These are the steps used to setup Shaligram daemon.
https://github.com/InnovAnon-Inc/InstallCoinWalletDaemon

One way to get started with TempleCoin and crypto currency in general is to click around here:
https://innovanon-inc.github.io/LHP/TempleCoin/index.html

Hi guys

Zerodrama here (worked on bitcoin, litecoin, feathercoin, catcoin code and community building).

The Shaligram node is up.

The code has been fixed to build on Ubuntu 16.04.

165.227.186.14
Port 32561

Have fun

More instructions and details coming.

Love this and I too have been patiently waiting for the announcement !!!Thank Goodness! And your team is so fast!!! It has been amazing waiting on things! I cant wait to see where this goes its such a great opportunity to grow, stake, mine, whatever if offers so much!!!
Way to GO!!!!! Wink Wink Wink

I saw this on Facebook and have been mining since day one. I am in full support of this project and it's values, it's openness to newbies and helping people see the potential of crypto.

I believe these coins will be very valuable, and if you have not had the chance to get any now is definitely the time to do it.

Hello Everyone. My name is Luke and I am part of the Temple Coin community. I have been creating graphics for the Temple Coin.

This is an amazing opportunity.
I have this coin and been in from the start, i don't know anything about mining these coins and i'm far too busy to learn so i set this up  https://twitter.com/ElixinolCbdOil let it run on auto posting apps to help.

I get between 0.5 - 2.0 templecoins mined all day long, no idea how it works or what it even is .... i heard the word "seeds can be bought with 10K coins" so i was like ok lets go !

i own http://potads.ml and work for some major seedbanks ... hoping one day the templecoin can be used to buy seeds on the sites in the future, or even on our site as currency for the members etc.


anyways hi and bye, please don't ask too much as i know nothing about bitcoin wizardry  Smiley

IOTA

The IOTA Whitepaper
https://iota.org/IOTA_Whitepaper.pdf

People have not started to grasp and appreciate the fact that IOTA has got rid of miners. In IOTA, the transaction issuers are also transaction approvers and these two parties are no longer decoupled as in Bitcoin and Ethereum which use miners as the transactions approvers. This will bring a huge advantage for IOTA.

IOTA compared to Blockchain
https://ukcryptocurrency.com/iota/tangle-vs-blockchain/

IOTA is based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) aka the Tangle, not a Blockchain
IOTA has no mining, no blocks, no difficulty
IOTA has no transaction fees
IOTA scales almost infinitely, unlike Blockchains
IOTA is not solely made as a currency but as an interoperability protocol that solves the problems of the IoT
IOTA wants to enable the machine economy
IOTA is lead by the IOTA Foundation, an NGO registered in Germany (approx. Oct. 2017)

That is Ethereum, Ethereum allows people to create Smart-Contracts/Tokens, right? Bitshares was the first Coin to do that, and the Bitshares Tokens are called User Issued Assets (UIAs). The OpenLedger Platform is a Decentralized Exchange Platform, where Nodes are held open by people who are Voted for. So no single person or Company really operates it, it exists on a Blockchain.



Here is OpenLedger
https://openledger.info/

Here is the Cryptofresh Blockchain Explorer, which keeps track of the Transactions on OpenLedger.
http://cryptofresh.com/

All of that is on the Blockchain.

Here is the OpenLedger Github Repo
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core

Bitshares UI
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui

So, that is the Smart Contracts and the Exchange.

Now, more recently Steemit was made. Which is like OpenLedger, but Social. And it is like Reddit, where you can Vote.
https://steemit.com/

Here is an example of a Steemit Fork

https://objectcomputing.com/resources/publications/sett/march-2017-graphene-an-open-source-blockchain/

Steemit is a Reddit Clone, and is limited in that fact. Of all the Social Media Websites on the Internet, Reddit is not really the best example. Reddit is almost secondary. Everyone is either on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or all of them. But Reddit is Secondary, like YouTube.

Steemit would do much better as a YouTube platform, where videos are uploaded and earn money, instead of Blogs. We will be launching a YouTube Graphene Clone eventually if someone else doesn’t.

That explains Steemit on a superficial level. I am not saying that Steemit is a failure, I am saying that it would be better if there were a YouTube version.

So secondly, Steemit is a platoform connected to a Coin. There is a backend to Steemit, called Steemd, and you can look at Steemd, just google it. And there are other things, like Blocktrades, which actually connects Steemit and Bitshares. The coin called STEEM, is a DPoWS, which stands for Delegated Proof of Work and Stake.

So let me explain what Delegated Proof of Work and Stake means:

Proof of Work is like Bitcoin and Litecoin and Dogecoin, where everyone Mines with Mining Machines.

Proof of Stake is like Temple Coin or PeerCoin or various other Coins. The way Proof of Stake Works in Steemit, is that anyone that has Coins, has Coins that gain value. And they gain value at a very very high rate the first year or something, then they don’t gain as much after that. And you get coins via Proof of Work, or via Delegated Votes on your Steemit posts, which awards you STEEM from the Blockchain.

Delegated means that the Proof of Work is Voted on, this is done through the “Witness” system. And any Computer or Server or Laptop or anything can be a Node and be a Witness. And Witnesses have the Obligation to Hold Open Nodes, and Mine Coins, which processes transactions and keeps the Blockchain moving. And they get a lot of Coins out of that. Delegated also applies to the Voting on Posts. On Steemit, you get paid when you get Votes, you get paid for Voting (more for posts that end up being popular and you voted early), and you can get votes on your Comments on Steemit. So the Delegated part is important to Steemit.

Here is the Witness page on Steemit
https://steemit.com/~witnesses

Witnesses are secretly very important to Steemit, and anyone can become one by being voted for, but they don’t advertise that because they don’t want to get taken over.

So that is the basics of how Steemit works.

Once you have Bitshares and Bitshares UI donwloaded, here is what you are supposed to do

At this point, you can use the help command to explore how to use the wallet interface.

Programming with Graphene

The basic API for Graphene is based on remote procedure calls. The specific functions available depend on the terms of the contracts, defined by a particular blockchain instance. A common authentication module is accessed first through the login API. After authenticating, the client application is able to gather other remote object references and make calls to them.

The FC library is used to manage the transport details, allowing the nodes to accept a variety of transport protocols. As currently delivered, the witness_node application is configured to accept HTTP formatted requests. From a C++ application, the Graphene apps library and FC library work together to provide a simple programming model for such access.

Here is an example, taken from the cli_wallet application, showing how to connect to the node server, log in, and make additional calls.
Code:
          fc::http::websocket_client client;
          idump((wdata.ws_server));
          auto con  = client.connect( wdata.ws_server );
          auto apic = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::websocket_api_connection>(*con);
    
          auto remote_api = apic->get_remote_api< login_api >(1);
          edump((wdata.ws_user)(wdata.ws_password) );
          // TODO:  Error message here
          FC_ASSERT( remote_api->login( wdata.ws_user, wdata.ws_password ) );
    
          auto wapiptr = std::make_shared<wallet_api>( wdata, remote_api );
          wapiptr->set_wallet_filename( wallet_file.generic_string() );
          wapiptr->load_wallet_file();
    
          fc::api<wallet_api> wapi(wapiptr);
    
          auto wallet_cli = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::cli>();
          for( auto& name_formatter : wapiptr->get_result_formatters() )
             wallet_cli->format_result( name_formatter.first, name_formatter.second );


Without getting too deep, what is shown here is that wdata is some collection of initialization information collected from the command line, config files, etc. This is then used to create a client connection, log in (asserting that it was successful), creating an instance of the wallet API that communicates through the authenticated reference to make further calls.

For anyone that needs help, or does not think they can do this. Read through this whole thread. I went to Bytecointalk looking for help creating a Coin, and no one helped. So I went through 3 weeks of error and error, until I figured it out. So if you read through that, then you will have all the information you need to be a Coin Developer.

https://bytecointalk.org/showthread.php?tid=1218

I did not know anything about Programming until recently, I only knew about Cryptocurrency and Online stuff, I was not a Developer. And now I am a Coin Developer and a lot more Blockchains are a lot simpler now that I figured one out.

Once you make one coin, you could make a new one every day if you wanted. It’s just making the first one.

What you will need:
Code:
A Computer with at least 100 GB of free space
An empty USB or DVD
Internet Connection
An Ethernet Cable
Droplet Server Space rented from Digital Ocean (at least 2, google promo codes for digital ocean for at least 1 free month)
(optional) an External Hard drive
(optional) a VPS

First, you have to get a Disk or a USB, then download Ubuntu 14.4.5, it has to be 14.4.5, not the newest version (The current newest version is Xenial Xerus, then Bionic Beaver is about to come out as I just learned moments ago, and I have only used Ubuntu for the past 2 weeks to try to make coins and never before; the one you want is Trusty Tahr). Just Google it and download it, then either put it on a DVD, or use a USB installer (google “USB installer”). Get another DVD or USB and install Version 16, Xenial Xerus if you want to do this the easiest way possible using the Generator, and you will have to switch back and forth.

From there, if you are in Windows (maybe you are going from a Newer version of Linux back to 14.4.5). Making sure you have Trusty Tahr aka Version 14.4.5, is like making sure you have Windows 7 or 10 instead of Windows 8; click the Windows “Start” icon, click the power button, then while holding the “Shift” key, click restart. This will bring up a menu where you can choose to boot up by USB or DVD, and then it will restart and boot from the DVD or USB. From there you click “Try Ubuntu without installing”.

When it opens, click the circle swish icon on the top left corner and search “Gparted”, and open it. When it is open find your main hard drive, make sure you pay attention to what is GB and what is MB, do not delete any MB sized files, look for the one that has 100GB or more of free space, right click it and choose “resize”, then resize it to create space that is not being used. You have to do this, your computer will not automatically recognize the empty space unless you do this. Then once you have done that, click ok, then on the Gparted main windows click the green CheckMark at the top, and it will begin making the changes. It could take up to 10 minutes.

Once that is done, click the desktop icon for installing Ubuntu and go through the menu, and choose the option that says to Install Ubuntu alongside Windows or alongside Ubuntu or alongside Solaris, or whatever your current Operating system is; and go through the installation process and restart your computer.

Once it is installed, you will need to use an Ethernet cable to plug your computer into the internet, and then click ctl+alt+T, which will open the command line window. Then copy and paste this:

sudo apt-get update – y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install git -y

From there, Google how to install Wifi if you want, or continue with that connection when you are in 14.4.5.

Now, you are ready to just follow the instructions on the Cryptonote and Forknote Website, until those become lacking.

https://cryptonotestarter.org/kb/build-environment-setup.html

https://cryptonotestarter.org/inner.html

You can also use these instead

First, go to this website and fill out the form, and copy the .json file that it generates for you.
http://forknote.net/create/#/

After you do that, go to this repository and follow the instructions with your .json file.
https://github.com/forknote/cryptonote-generator

Fill everything out, and when you get to the bottom, go to DigitalOcean.com and rent 2 droplets at least $10 each. They do not charge you $10 that moment, but instead charge you as it is used, and when you destroy the droplet or at the end of the month you will be charged, rather than $10 upon creating it. Create 2 Servers that are Ubuntu based, then get the IP addresses from them go back to the Forknote page, and put the Server IPs in as your nodes.
Part 2, after you have the Genesis block

After you compile your coin 1x, use this
http://forknote.net/guides/setup-private-blockchain/

And then connect seed nodes, then do the 2nd compile.
http://forknote.net/guides/starting-seed-node/

For more info on DNS Servers
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean

And then once your coin is running, you can create a wallet for it.

https://cryptonotestarter.org/create-wallet.html

Share your coin in the Comments!

You may have looked at other pages on this website, and feel completely lost.

Even the easiest one, the Cryptonote guide, may seem completely confusing. So this page is for anyone, even someone who has never used any kind of Cryptocurrency in their lives, to create a Cryptocurrency.

First, if you want to see how I personally, recently, figured out how all of this works, go here:
https://bytecointalk.org/showthread.php?tid=1218

You will not have to go through all that, because I figured it all out for you.

So, it took me a long time to figure this out, but the best place to start is here, with the Forknote Generator. Forknote is a Cryptonote that is dedicated to helping people make Coins, but not so dedicated that they will write out a guide like this.
http://forknote.net/create/#/

That is what you will use, but first you will need to get Ubuntu. That sounds huge, but it is not that hard. If you read that guide I went through everything, and even accidentally destroyed my hard drive, then just installed Ubuntu as the regular Operating System. And now I know how to do it right and create Swap Space (that is where I messed up at first), and everything. Which I am now going to describe to you.

First, follow this guide to get Ubuntu:
https://www.lifewire.com/ultimate-windows-7-ubuntu-linux-dual-boot-guide-2200653

For now, you will get Version 16, but you can choose an older version later if you want to get deeper into Coins. This will just get you to where you are able to create your own Forknote.

It is not hard. You just get a CD, download it onto the CD, then Restart your computer by clicking ctrl + click restart and choose to boot the computer by disk. If that doesn’t work, turn the computer off and try turning it on and clicking F8 and F12 over and over, then go to boot options. That guide explains everything, it is not hard, and I did not know how to do it at first.

Read this guide also for more info about everything you will need and need to do:
http://shaivitetemple.org/Forum/topic/cryptonote-coin-creation-guide-the-easiest-way-to-create-your-own-cryptocurrenc/

Once you are in Ubuntu reading this in Ubuntu Version 16, you will need to get a server. So go to Google and search “Digital Ocean Coupon” and rent at least 2x $5 droplets from Digital Ocean.

If you are confused, here is more information:
http://forknote.net/guides/starting-seed-node/

Once you have done all of that, go to the Forknote Create page:
http://forknote.net/create/#/

Fill that out, and in the Node part, put your Servers.

Now, go here, this is the key to the Forknote Create Page:
https://github.com/forknote/cryptonote-generator

Just do that, and you have a Forknote, which is a Bytecoin Fork. A “Fork” means that you have basically recreated the exact same Coin, and everyone that has any Bytecoins also has your Coin in an equal amount. But to get more of your Coin, they will have to Mine more of it.

So everyone knows what Strains we are talking about here...

"Malawi is renowned for growing the best and finest Cannabis sativa (Indian hemp) in the world. Locally known as “Chamba,” cannabis is cultivated in remote parts of central and north Malawi." -World Bank Report, 2011

Malawi is the backbone of all of these Strains, and is different because it contains THCv, which is different than the Recreational THC. They are not the same, and THCv is not a Scheduled Substance in the US or in the UN Psychotropics Convention.

https://www.aceseeds.org/en/malawifem.html
After years of hard work and intense selections with sativas from all around the world, we can confirm that Malawi is the most powerful and psychedelic landrace sativa we know of.

Its dense flowers of enormous trichomes compete with the most powerful sativa/indica and indica hybrids on the market in reference to their size and cannabinoids concentration.

The potency of its flowers is simply devastating, and it is especially recommended for experienced users that seek extreme sativa effects without renounce to an abundant harvest.


This is what I have mixed with Malawi to create the "La Reina Dido" Lineage, Dido was the Queen and Founder of Carthage.
https://www.worldofseeds.eu/wos_en/south-african-kwazulu-regular.html

Read the comments here
http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Southafrican_Kwazulu/World_of_Seeds_Bank/

A 100% Sativa strain that grows wild to the north of the Drakensberg ridge, she flowers early, has a sweet taste and a physical and energising effect.

Grown by generations of Shaka Zulus, who were one of Africa’s most significant farmer warrior tribes, legend has it that this plant was used in the battle preparations prior to the first British attack in 1879 and that her long-lasting and galvanising properties enabled the outnumbered and outgunned Zulu army to repel the enemy invaders.

One of the most resistant strains to pests and mildew, her genetics allow her to be grown indoors and outside even at European latitudes.
