Tal everyone.
Just wanted to let you know the kids and I are alive and doing well. Still in Montana. Just way north on the Highline now near the Canadian border in a tiny town. Hope everyone is doing well. We will try to get on more now that I am basically done taking classes for a while. Just have to get ready to teach them now...lol.
Here are some additional resource documents that I have made into pdf's and hosted on my website.

The Code of Bushido

These are basic cut and dried down and dirty renditions of the codes that can be useful in any discussion. There is much more to the codes but these are the codes which I personallyuse as guiding principles in my life.

Here is a site where at leat one school has taken a stand and is teaching ethics in school. Needless to say the reason they are doing this is the breakdown in the familes. Kids just arent' being taught ethics at home. I personaly think this is an idea that has been a long time coming. It is from Irvine, CA.

It is from the Josephson Institute which studies ethics. Not a bd site to visit either.

What's Personal Power?
By Max Kezooki
Power is a relative concept. There are quite a lot of people in the world that can be termed "powerful", but if you ask ten different people on the street who are the personalities that they consider powerful, you'll get ten different sets of answers.
Quite frankly, power exists in many forms, and all are valid. Most people immediately equate money with power, but while seemingly similar, the two are actually quite different. Wealth just buys things. Power makes things happen.
Here is a link to my website where I have uploaded the book "The Power of Concentration" that I was discussing on my last show December 30, 2006.

Feel free to pick it up, read it, and give me any comments on it you might have.
I am finding more and more that there are a lot of avenues for learning about those values that we call Gorean. I think that I will start adding the books to my website and posting the link here in preparation for discussions on my show.
