Dayholos ©Copyright 2007 William Dayholos II Acknowledgments The value of ones existences can always be measured by the support they receive from others. Be it family or not it is still unselfish support for another human being who is asking for help. Thank you Rose Dayholos, Marjory Marciski, Irene Sulik, Grace Single, Janice Abstreiter, and Robert Regnier for your editing help. This book is dedicated to my partner in life. To me a partner is one whom you can share your ideas with, one who can be trusted not to patronize these ideas, one who can differentiate their own truth from yours. A person who has an equal spiritual level and understanding, and encourages only through support of your ideas and not to through expectation. A true partner is one who balances out any weaknesses you have in the same fashion as you do for them. One’s weakness is the other’s strength, together you create a whole, a relationship that is stronger than the individuals themselves. In true fashion my partner has both helped and supported this book’s creation. Without this partner’s help it might have run the risk of being too much “me”! This was never the reason for the book. Thank you so much Joanne Hendrickson for being my partner in life and this book’s creation.

IV Prologue Mysticism may be defined as the belief in a third kind of knowledge. The other two being sense knowledge and knowledge by inference. The “third kind” of knowledge is one that goes past what is observable, because direct observation is not always what it appears to be. The “edges” of our sciences and religions are starting to realise this with every new generation. As we shift into greater capacities to understand and with more sensitive instruments to discern with, we find more questions than answers. A mystic is one who, above all else in life, has a desire to know what is behind the physically perceivable level. To define is to limit, and no single definition will cover every aspect of mysticism. Some have objected to the term itself and believed that "enlightenment" or "illumination" might be better. Yet these words themselves are “traps” in understanding. For example, there is no complete definition or limit to enlightenment. It is only a perspective from position or level of a person’s current understanding. To become a mystic one must first recognise what is not working, and then seek for the changes that will make it work. Many cannot get past the realisation that something is not working and needs to be changed. Many cannot get past the realisation that something is not working and needs to be changed. Many of us become “sheep” to our own apathy and blind trust. Mystics are not blind simply because they ask, “Why is it this way?” This is the mystic’s role in culture. They fall V under the label of scientists, artists, and even religious figures. They are the ones that are in the background, observing, so as not to get “wrapped” up in blind faith. Mystics can see the holes, where everyone else sees a wall. To fall under the illusion that all mystics are balanced evolved people would be a mistake. There have been many mystics that have used their ability to “see the holes” as points of opportunity to advance themselves through personal gain, be it prestige, financial, or just plain power. Typically, these mystics have a need to draw attention to themselves, which is usually a good indication of their imbalances. The balanced mystic is usually part of the “wallpaper”, one working in the background, which you would never guess as being one. If you have something to teach it is important to make it available, however an effective mystic understands that only those who need the information will hear it. The adage, “When the student is ready the teacher will appear” cannot be over exaggerated. I understand this as a truth and know the ones that gravitate to this book are ready for the information, be it one phrase or a whole chapter. I am a mystic by definition because I’m an enigma in my own culture. I‘m not affiliated with any religion including the religion of science, nor am I entertaining the thought of creating one. This would be completely opposite to my beliefs and understandings, my very nature of being “wallpaper”. I have sat back for decades listening to the sciences, religions, and even the New Age movement. I have observed the pedestal sermons, individuals clambering for the public’s attention, all with the intent of gain, with little to no truth behind the information. There comes a time in one’s life where our understandings and teachings need to be expressed. As I read and listened to material on ancient and metaphysical worlds, I reached a point where I needed to say out loud, and in public: “What the hell are you talking about and where did you get this understanding from?” VI This is the driving force behind my writing and why I now, for a brief moment, must become the “furniture in this wallpapered room”. I must speak out and describe it from the perspective that is shared with me through universal understandings. This is the same repeated information that most of the mystics have been taught, past and present. The main difference between myself and a mystic thousands of years ago is in the method of communication. Communication is based on processing and exchanging information via the senses at our disposal. In other words, how many senses are is a person using? Typically, we are credited with five recognized senses. This is not accurate and to those who experience more than five, some become a silent minority, the mystics. How does one begin to explain to others that have not experienced what you have? One of the best metaphors to understand this is the “color demonstration”. We know that we can show a child what the color blue is. We can then show them the color red and they understand both. Now, explain the color blue to a blind person, and then the color red. After you have accomplished this explain the difference between the two colors. True communication is not about explaining anything, it is about sensing the truth, which is your truth, and how does this affect you as an individual. I have heard people exclaiming; “If aliens are visiting us why don’t they contact our scientists?” The truth is, there would be no communication possible, simply because there must be a common understanding for an exchange to take place. In this truth, what is known and understood in the entire universe is completely opposite of what our science understands and believes. Our current culture is so far behind the true understanding of universal design and operation that we must start over again. Many scientists today are saying the same thing (it is not just my opinion). Their statement comes from frustration, because none of the theories compliment each other. The better the instrumentation gets, the more they realize the old VII theories are all wrong or just contradict the old axioms. Today scientists are starting to recognise that they need to go back to the basics. Science based only on intellect is and will prove to be a dead end process. Stepping outside the known (intellectualest box) is the only future for science, as well as organised religion. Only the brave and true explorers will accomplish this, and probably only in secret. They will be the first to discover the truly exciting discoveries to be found in this universe. Past mystics working outside the norm are recorded as historical visionaries and can be recognised in most of the major past discoveries. Mystics included in this list are Albert Einstein, Marie and Pierre Curie, and Isaac Newton. Mainstream science will never admit to the fact that their major players and founders were extracting information using unorthodox methods. The truth is that Einstein dabbled in metaphysics with Upton Sinclair and the medium Roam Ostoja. Alchemist Isaac Newton was relentless in his pursuit of the avant-garde, being rejected in his own time for it. The Curies and their group of fellow scientist signed documents stating the validity of metaphysics. Out of their group alone came five Nobel Prizewinners. These are and were true mystics in every sense. History books can censor this part out, but the fact is they reached out of the physical norm to achieve their goals. Today they are labeled as scientists, mainly because their discoveries have finally caught up to this present acceptable academic dogma. Getting back to the alien and the problem of trying to find a common communication method with the human race.

  • Common Place: Rereading 'Nation' in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta
    Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anitta C. Santiago All rights reserved ABSTRACT Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago This dissertation examines quotation specifically, and intertextuality more generally, in the development of American/literary culture from the birth of the republic through the Civil War. This period, already known for its preoccupation with national unification and the development of a self-reliant national literature, was also a period of quotation, reprinting and copying. Within the analogy of literature and nation characterizing the rhetoric of the period, I translate the transtextual figure of quotation as a protean form that sheds a critical light on the nationalist project. This project follows both how texts move (transnational migration) and how they settle into place (national naturalization). Combining a theoretical mapping of how texts move and transform intertextually and a book historical mapping of how texts move and transform materially, I trace nineteenth century examples of the culture of quotation and how its literary mutability both disrupts and participates in the period’s national and literary movements. In the first chapter, I engage scholarship on republican print culture and on republican emulation to interrogate the literary roots of American nationalism in its transatlantic context. Looking at commonplace books, autobiographies, morality tales, and histories, I examine how quotation as a practice of memory impression functions in national re-membering.

  • Introduction Methodology
    Introduction The City of Sacramento implemented a three-week virtual community workshop for the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan to engage with community members and station users in the Sacramento Region. The virtual workshop was open to the public from Wednesday, January 15, 2020 to Friday, February 7, 2020. The project team received more than 280 responses from community members. In 2018, the City concluded work on an initial conceptual planning that resulted in two master plan concepts. Currently, the City is developing a preferred option and multi-phase implementation plan. In addition, the Bus/Mobility Center has moved forward to 30% design documents for the construction funds grant application. In 2020, the Sacramento Valley Station Specific Plan will be completed and provide a pathway for expanding regional transportation services and developing the Sacramento Valley Station site, with transportation in mind. The goals of the design concept are to establish a well-connected transit center, be a gateway to the city, and provide a mixed-use destination with infill development for the 17-acres of property around the historic depot. The plan area on the City-owned site will be designed with sustainable principles, under the framework of the International Living Futures Institute’s Living Community Challenge Vision Plan certification. Methodology This Virtual Community Workshop served as a forum for participants to learn about the project and Master Plan, as well as contribute their input on the design elements and concepts to be integrated into the new station area. The project team implemented a three-week virtual workshop to notify and engage with community members who frequent the Sacramento Valley Station.

  • Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design
    Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design: Connecting Content and Kids by Carol Ann Tomlinson and Jay McTighe Chapter 1. UbD and DI: An Essential Partnership What is the logic for joining the two models? What are the big ideas of the models, and how do they look in action? Understanding by Design and Differentiated Instruction are currently the subject of many educational conversations, both in the United States and abroad. Certainly part of the reason for the high level of interest in the two approaches to curriculum and teaching is their logical and practical appeal. Beset by lists of content standards and accompanying “high-stakes” accountability tests, many educators sense that both teaching and learning have been redirected in ways that are potentially impoverishing for those who teach and those who learn. Educators need a model that acknowledges the centrality of standards but that also demonstrates how meaning and understanding can both emanate from and frame content standards so that young people develop powers of mind as well as accumulate an information base. For many educators, Understanding by Design addresses that need. Simultaneously, teachers find it increasingly difficult to ignore the diversity of learners who populate their classrooms. Culture, race, language, economics, gender, experience, motivation to achieve, disability, advanced ability, personal interests, learning preferences, and presence or absence of an adult support system are just some of the factors that students bring to school with them in almost stunning variety. Few teachers find their work effective or satisfying when they simply “serve up” a curriculum—even an elegant one—to their students with no regard for their varied learning needs.
