What is the meaning of ascetic ideals?
In this essay, the meaning of ascetic ideals becomes far clearer through the use of Nietzsche’s account on the subject in his third essay in On The Genealogy of Morals, this is not surprising due to Nietzsche being influenced by Schopenhauer before moving on to develop his own views. A similar thing happened with Socrates who Nietzsche was very critical of and, after attacking his ideas fiercely moved on in much the same fashion as he did with Schopenhauer to formulate his own. I will, however, not neglect Schopenhauer and Socrates in this essay, I will look at them in more detail in the later stages as I will Kierkegaard and Weil, though not in quite so much detail.

An Exploration of Conspiracy's
I have been asked to discuss my thoughts and feelings as to why people tend to believe in abstract conspiracy theories. This is such a huge and important topic as there are so many different conspiracies amongst the world and there tends to be huge ridicule towards the people who entertain these ideas. I shall try to remain impartial as I delve into the underlying reasons as to why I believe it tends to be specific people/characters that indulge in these concepts and who strongly believe in them.

Shattered
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The edge of the precipice is such a fragile thing; teetering but managing to maintain your balance, just thus. To both sides holds the unknown, though you can feel the madness emanating from the beyond; the tightrope holds familiarity, clutching to it as your only means of sanity.

Priming in the Zen and Now
This sounds a bit crazy. After all, who would think of the Rolling Stones as music to meditate to, but I did. I laugh when I look back and think about it. I was probably around the age of 20. The Tattoo You album was released in 1981, so, loving the Rolling Stones, I raced out to get it. Mick, his satin trousers, and bold stage presence, strutting his stuff and Keith, the renegade hippie with a wicked smile and blazing guitar technique were the matrix of the band to me.

How My Game Club Continues to Impact the Lives of Over 100 Kids and Adults With Autism
Before I get to the exciting and inspiring things about my game club and my members, let me give you a quick background on ASD; Autism Spectrum Disorder. In 2013, the DSM-5 changed the way Autism, Aspergers (high functioning autism) and PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) were recognized and determined. In the past, all aspects and different levels of Autism were recognized as their own separate entities. It was quite beneficial to know the exact diagnosis of an individual as it leads to better gauging how to treat them and have a better understanding of their abilities and functioning at a first meeting. When the DSM-5 decided to change their guidelines and lump all forms and stages of autism into one title, Autism, it made it more difficult at first meeting to develop a course of treatment plan for the individual. Hopefully in the future the change will be reversed and each stage of autism will be recognized as separate entities again.

Dance Movement Therapy (DMT)
Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) encourages movement-based creative expression by a relational and therapeutic use of dance for the treatment of health-related psychological problems (DTAA, 2014-2019). Dance therapy offers benefits to people on medications and people affected by physical problems, depression, and physically or sexually abused (Art Therapy, 2019). Dance movement therapy is effective for enhanced quality of life and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Positive effects are found on the increase of subjective well-being, positive mood, and body image (Koch, Kunz, Lykou &, Cruz).

Ms. Cellophane
In middle school one of my favorite musicals was "Chicago" with music from John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse. One song that particularly caught my attention was "Mr. Cellophane." It was the only song that talked about real feelings and part of me could relate to that feeling of invisibility. It wasn't until recently that I understood the falsity and deceit of this song as well.
