To live in this time is to recognize the law of inevitability: we consume resources we cannot renew, we make social structures we cannot sustain, and we live empty lives in worlds of either material or mystical or political products. To resurrect the eternal spirit of heroism is to accept the whole as one, obliterating the illusory divisions of subject/object and appearance/structure, and thus to embrace the cosmological tradition of great cultures both ancient and future: this is the goal of exponentiation ezine.

"When a place gets crowded enough to require IDs, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere."

The Necklace of the Brisings One night in Asgard, the home of the gods, Freyja, the goddess of beauty, love, fertility, and more, dreamt of the most beautiful necklace ever crafted. When Freyja awoke, she had an irresistible urge to find this necklace, so she traveled down the Rainbow Bridge, Bifrost, to Mid-gard, the land of men. What Freyja didn't know is that Loki, the crafty and cunning god of mischief and deceit, had followed her. He followed Freyja all over Mid-gard, as she searched for the necklace of which she had dreamt when all of a sudden she looked into a cave to see a flicker of light, as if from a flame, emanating from ...

Roasting Coffee at Home Coffee is the world's second most traded commodity; only oil surpasses it. Despite its popularity, quality coffee is uncommon, and relatively expensive where available. As good drugs are preferable to mediocre, coffee addicts will seek the best they can get. However, purchasing pre-packaged beans in a grocery store or coffee shop means that you're paying for packaging, labor, and overhead in addition to the coffee itself. Green beans can be purchased directly from local roasters for 15%-50% less than the retail cost of roasted beans. By roasting your own coffee at home, you'll drink fresher, cheaper, a...

The Fire We Wield One of the most memorable moments in movie history is found in the opening sequence to the epic film "2001: A Space Odyssey." In the sequence an ape, in what appears to be a prehistoric desert, comes upon a pile of bones. After a lone moment of contemplation the ape picks up what appears to be a leg bone and discovers a practical use for it as a club and hammer. With his newly found club the ape swings and hammers the other bones, shattering them. In so doing the ape has proven to himself that the bones can be more than just an inanimate pile in the desert; his practical idea has become a tool using practice. After hamm...

Music Artist: Magma Album: Mekanik Destructiw Kommandoh Label: Phantom Sound & Vision Year: 1973 Mekanik Destructiw Kommandoh (M.D.K.) is a bombastic, driving album from France's Magma. The main compositional force is Christian Vander, who utilizes themes present in this album in a later work, where they area retooled to a minimalistic ensemble. Instrumentation here is rather quirky, but not unbelievable for a progressive band from the 1970s. For instance, atop the standard rock instrumentation of drum kit (this one being diverse, and exceptionally well used), guitar, and bass (certain passages have smooth trills that suggest the...

Society has lost grips with reality and its ideals. A functional and healthy society is one ripe with ideals that help model the world in a way that makes it healthier, stronger and more fulfilled. This is to say that a healthy society is one that is philosophically tuned, environmentally minded, creative, realistic and optimistic. Collectively we do not strive for much beyond our momentary pleasure. We have lost ourselves in a sea of noise and technology gone awry. To regain personal and social health we must reform our ideals and mold them into something livable, as the ancients did. Goals must first be set for ourselves and we must dev...

"Cabins in the Fog" Here, the shadows, restless dwelling are besotting and compelling. Darker dangers? Nothing compares to these cabins of our nightmares. Thatched roofs are crumbling inward where those shadow figures lingered - still they linger! in decaying wood - a grim scene so dismaying! Approach where logs and planks collapse, where glassy eyes are, by mishaps destroyed and look as jagged tears: recalling sharpened woes and fears. The doorway, but a feeble serf invites us from the dampened earth and foggy air of dusk and death - a sky as bleak as dying breath. Darker, thicker now, the evening fog descends, betraying meanings that t...

Frugal and Sustainable Shopping Tips For most individuals living in first world countries it is normal to get food from supermarkets and clothing from department stores. These methods, while nice and convenient, can also burn holes in our pocket books and cater to unsustainable methods of production/consumption. Supermarket prices are often slightly higher than the products themselves are worth due to the shipping and packaging costs. Why pay for these unless you really want that cool looking oatmeal or cereal box? Do not feel obligated to buy buy buy, even though today's economically driven cultures tell you it's the right t...

Tradition and Modernity "All that is solid melts into air" - Karl Marx . "God is dead" - Fredrich Nietzsche. These statements are perhaps the two most powerful characterizations of the arrival of modernity and the depth of its implications, both of which predate the resurgence of the study of the world's traditional societies in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Both Nietzsche and Marx are attempting to characterize the passing of a point which cannot be undone, the emergence of a consciousness based upon a lesson that cannot be unlearned. For these two thinkers, this new malleability will need to be met not with denial and...

Music Artist: Steve Roach Album: Midnight Moon Release: Projekt Records (2000) Midnight Moon, being the partial break-off from the otherwise so common New Age- themes sparked by this artist, is a gloomy dark record of ambient spheres and full moons. Slow, gazing layers of insomnia define these ambient stages of both earthly and unearthly existence. Co-working with occasional glimpses of fretless bass and bows, this listening experience is full of life, full of night. Where many ambient works achieve full effect from the beginning of the songs, Steve Roach's "Midnight Moon" is the complete opposite to this. By slowly emerging one laye...
