and maze runner even further from top! despite video better than book. except some christians LOVE that one of the kids acted like jesus to kill himself to save others, apparently two kids, but gali survived... which is bizarre marketing that worked on some christians still that bizarre unrealistic part and the rest of the book is awful with unsurprising surprises.

back to dumb marvel iron man, to see the story without buying the dvd. yes the villain was powerful and destroyed many iron man suits but tony had more than enough and destroyed the damaged armors... dumb dumb dumb. so what was the story?

part one:

without warning, a row of iron man armors was exploding. as the enemy destroyed several iron man armors, that exploded in a chain reaction, stark had a flashback:

New Year's Eve 1999, in Bern, Switzerland, Stark attended a party and heard an amazing discovery about botanical regeneration from Maya Hansen. [x avoids, failed] a crippled nerdy scientist Aldrich Killian wants stark's money for his research. stark sent him to the roof but forgot due to an explosion that distracted him.

In the present, December 2012, after i.m. flew the a-bomb up away from New York City, (referencing Avengers 2012). he built many [not several] Iron Man suits preparing for the next invasion. Tony tested a new model, that can disassmble and its pieces fly to him to re-attach.

while listening to a modernized version of "Jingle Bells", the parts flew at him. it assembled. when Tony flew it detached. he saw TV that a terrorist=Mandarin interfered with tv to announce "i bombd" a US military base. not trageting the soldiers but worse killing the helpless  wives and children of soldiers. President Ellis sent iron patriot (an improved version of war machine.

Tony met Rhodes=i.p. in a restaurant. they talk about the explosions. two kids [not group nor confrontation]  ask Tony for his autograph.  the picture had the worm hole in New York, causing i.m. to run to his Iron Man suit. when inside, JARVIS explains that Tony was experiencing an anxiety attack.

at Stark Industries, Happy Hogan was head of security. Pepper Potts talked to Aldrich Killian, now cured. k' wants Stark Industries to invest in his biological project. Pepper saw a large holograph of his brain. she refused to invest due to the danger of using it as a weapon.

Pepper drove home to mansion. she saw a huge bunny for her. while i.m. is busy working, i.m. greeted Pepper. she discovered it was an empty remote-controlled armor and complained about tony and his actions. he apologized.

That night while asleep, Tony experienced trauma due to past trauma. an armor came "to save tony" so that scared pepper. then Tony dis-assembled it. Pepper stormed out.

elsewhere, Happy watched Savin give Taggart, a briefcase. Happy knocked it down spilling its contents. [x not just "tries to intercede but" as if he failed].  Savin confronted him so h' punched him. Savin glowed orange and heealed from the broken nose and jaw then tossed h' [not "beaten" wrong, he threw happy. who wrote this bad summary that differs from story]

suddenly Taggart glowed orinj and exploded. the blaze left only his tag. Happy got severely injured. Savin heald. the Mandarin interrupted TV to claim responsibility for the deaths.

Tony visited Happy in hospital. reporters surrounded and questioned Tony. One said he wants the terrorist killed. Tony threatend the Mandarin and dared him to "try attacking my home" instead of cowardly attacking heloless victims. Tony emphasized his point by throwing the recorder to smash it. he took responsibility and offerd to pay for the wrecked device.

at home, Tony studied a hologram of the explosion. Happy was pointing to tags with the name "Jack Taggart". he compared with past similar explosions. an incident in Tennessee matches in heat and involvement of an ex-army soldier who died with five people. Tony and JARVIS pland a flight there.

the doorbell rings. Tony greeted Dr. Maya Hansen who warned Tony of real danger. when Pepper insisted they must leave the danger, a rocket flew at the house from a helicopter gunship. when the explosion is blasting deadly chunks at high speed, Tony commands the MK42 model module-suit to assemble covering Pepper who helpd maya limp out of the warzone home. Tony successfully compensated to use the limited suit to destroy one of the three gunships which was shooting. the battle continues until i.m. destroyed a second of the 3 attacking gunships. The house crumbles and fell into the sea, taking Tony with it. The suit "gave tony a hand" to pull him from being buried under debris. the suit finally starts working and flew tony.... away.

Tony regaind consciousness just as he is falling towards the ground. he crashd onto snow in Tennessee as planned. Tony dragd the suit on the snow. due to necessity he stole a Poncho off a mannequin who needed it less than himself. from a payphone he calld and left a message for Pepper.

scot history

 i heard an expression "get off scot free" why scot?

this matches a problem when the stronger one changes history. some say the winner writes history but after that the stronger one writes history even against the winner.

in year 1314 scot free, history. based on "historic battle falkirk" but strong brits later wont admit the "true" story of york n falkirk. the stronger gets to write history when winner weak. reading the officil history is aproblem considering the scots won and were free in 1314  so the story does not match. only when we see the fiction braveheart preserving a legend that does match the fact that scots were free we realize that sometimes history books are written by the stronger. 

a more REAL calendar

 a more REAL calendar

admittedly we cannot yet abandon the business calendar but a step toward the transition is starting to use a real solar calendar which will eventually replace the gregorian once enough people realize it is more real.

the first month is defined by solar cycle adding light that day is new years day 1/1 but what name if not january? kuz in business calendar that is called month december which is a dumb name it is not "tenth" month of year.

the star "group" has names for the area where sun appears, so use same name for that fractiion of sky and for naming month? 

for jews i recommend the "names" in the section called "names" need jewish names, but another option universal is to define length based on fraction and name the segment from "18-20" hours of sky by the same name as the constellation in that segment fraction of sky named sagittarius is famous and  in that fraction due to sun being in that fraction at the start of the cycle on the date called dec' 23 in business calendar. this name is for a universal name but not the group itself called constellation kuz some group are 3/24 others 1/24. need 2/24 for comparing the "yearly quarters] but can universalize name for that fraction of sky and same for each fraction twelfth. 

the year can remain unchanged since not truly year of jesius birth, after herod, so it is a universal number so we can continue 2022 etc.

improved summary Chamber of Secrets 1998 with FAN fiction

Potter book 2 Chamber of Secrets 1998, video 2002. fixing the awful chapter synopses By William Silvester © 2002

for example he starts with the false "In which we are reminded of the happenings during Harry’s first year at Hogwarts" that is worse than bad that is awful... truly NO "reminder IN" that chapter of "events at Hogwarts". worse this is a bad start kuz certainly not at the start of the chapter which starts with the "dramatic arguments" during the breakfast meal, which do not refer to any event at Hogwarts. just BRIEFLY uncle complained about pet owl which could be a "muggle" complaint to anybody who had a pet. even the argument about the "magic" word is baffling for anyone who did not yet read book one as i explain below. 

also in silv' "coming" does not mean "has guest" in present but wrong when "coming". also "very important" only described meeting but wrongly described the guest who is not important just a business partner. so i must fix all this.birthday "is forgotten" but must specify WHO forgot.

__fixing the book itself, in the big picture, the DANGER is not voldemort who is still too weak. so better to have harry defeat quirrel in book one WHILE v' attached to remove v' threat and that means harry ALREADY defeated v' then. these adventures are different dangers such as a flying enchanted carriage out of control.

also this failed to be a "stand alone novel" failing to reference earlier relevant events for example "say the magic word" is meaningless without referencing that the dursleys "avoided mysterious stuff" in book one and this is not referenced. i read "book 2" after reading "half blood and phoenix" and even saw video one: stone... before reading this, yet that argument was baffling without reading book one and without the reference, which a stand alone would reference. knowing he was a wizard still did not help understand their reaction.

finally, chapter 12 has a flaw as i explained there.

__

fixing summary: see above the need.

Chapter 1 The Worst Birthday; uncle Vernon prepared the family for a very important sales meeting at dinner. he and his wife forgot harry's "birthday".

fan fiction=f.f. harry hoped to get a card from ron and waited for it but no owl arrived all day.

Chapter 2 Dobby’s Warning; the elf "Dobby warnd" harry not to return to Hogwarts. dobby  hovered cake to get harry expelled.

FAN-fiction: when dobby said dont go to hogwarts, harry assured him he had already decided not to continue at hogwarts. dobby said "i believe you because you are a wizard." harry insisted that he was catholic so not a wizard anymore. ergo dobby dumped the cake so the adults blamed harry of USING magic so they put bars in his window. 

Chapter 3  The Burrow; Ron, and his brothers Fred, and George Weasley use the flying enchanted car to "break" off the window bars to free Harry.

they fly home. garden gnomes infested their garden.

FAN-fiction harry argued with ron about the bible forbidding wizardry. harry said being a wizard is a sin [book deuteronomy]. ron argued that "God never saved" the victims of voldemort, ergo more logical to be an atheist than believe a book that describes God as "merciful and doing kindness." they continue friendship DESPITE argument. harry wont use magic so he gave ron the invisibility cloak.

Chapter 4  At Flourish and Blotts; Harry tried to join the Weasleys trip [x go, both did not go] to Diagon Alley using Floo Powder.  Harry arrived in a shop, named "F&B" where he heard mr. Malfoy's business.

fan fiction: ron invited HARRY to come with them to diagon alley. harry agreed until he saw they were using FLOO powder so said he does not want to use magic anymore. ron points out "from you??" who already used the enchanted car. harry explaind that he needed to escape as an exception but not daily. ron still insists that harry, "like all religious" are "self-willingly blind hypocrites." ma compromises that harry can stay while they get school books. he read some more bible because it has many many pages and books. at F&B mr. malfoy did some mysterious business but harry did not hear it. at d.a. the weaslys buy school books.

mr. malfoy ridiculed the poor weasleys. mr. w' argued "at least my money is an honest job better than you". he expected m'  to snarl and leave but surprisingly mr. malfoy turned pale... fearing w' knew about the meeting at F&B draco repeated his complaint about [the irresponsibe] too many children. ginny argued "you are just lonely with no siblings". draco drew his wand angrily. ron yelld "expeliarmus" disarming malfoy. g.l. expeld draco from hogwarts for using magic outside of school. and therefore l' "snapped his wand" same as when hagrid was expelld. lucious argued if so expell ron too? l' argued that that charm was needed and harmless.

Chapter 5  The Whomping Willow; the 

[x entire wrong you said charles was in another country in book one] ...Weasley family and Harry [x cram wrong the inside was expanded according to book, same as the tent in goblet fire] ... drove to train Station. percy led ginny to the train but Harry and Ron? cannot get through the magic entrance.  ron flew harry in the enchanted car to Hogwarts. the engine died so it fell and crashed into the Whomping Willow. ron's wand snapped. [as mentioned in azkaban chapter one]

FAN-fiction: all the weasly students including ginny used a "port key" to get to scotland and instead of a train, quickly arrived at the hogwarts terminal. ginny separated for the BOATS same as harry' first year kuz she first year. ron and the others rode enchanted cariages same as book azkaban. dobby is by the hogwarts terminal he THERE saw ron's red hair in the carriage and announced "harry must avoid danger" as he made it fly off road and backwards. the carriage tried to return to its course so the STRUGGLE caused a crash into the w.w. which snapped ron's wand. historicly this is how his wand snapped by the w.w. but rowling's publisher made her change the story for "better marketing". which house is ginny? i say slytherin replacing draco. the sorting hat assigned ginny w. to slytherin house separate from ron and percy kuz she differed from them.

Chapter 6  Gilderoy Lockhart; harry learnd about animal-like herbs. "Lockhart" [replaced quirrel as] was teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. he taught the class about mischivious "Cornish Pixies" who damage stuff.

+fan fiction in september, ron gave hermione a birthday present: harry's invisibility cloak.

Chapter 7  Mudbloods and Murmurs; Ron’s spell backfires due to his damaged wand, "Harry and Ron serve detention" for ron trying to curse malfoy. why harry?

fan fiction: harry went to a standard public school. he is small and shorter than his own classmates.  during recess, the big bullies surrounded harry and one pushed him down to the concrete path so he regretted that he cannot use magic to stop them. after hermione's birthday, ron argued with her about harry's absence. ron ridiculed harry "at least YOU have some sense but harry thinks wizardry is a sin against a so-called kind god who does not really act kindly." hermione argued "that is not harry's mistake. we christians are free from the laws of the old testament same as the festivals in book leviticus." ron insulted her and they stop being friends.

back at catholic scool, one fateful day the bullies were "chasing" [same as book one chapter 2] harry who tried to run. one big eleventh grader lifted harry to throw him in a large rubbish bin... while the others jeered "chuck him in'.... when the wizard nature burst forth and the whole group of bullies changed into... a group of bunnies [same as moonie made a brat transform into a rabbit but "bullies" changed to letter "n" bunnies] with bunny minds, except the one holding harry who transformed into a tree rooted to the tar parking lot and now blocking the huge rubbish bin. harry held the new branch and jumped down. he pushed the heavy bin aside so the lorry rubbish truck could approach the bin and not cause questions about the new tree.

the new rabbits ran across the school football field where some girls were practicing. some girls pick up the wandering bunnies and adopt them as class pets. the same day a mean brat poked his red eraser to annoy his class bunny. this unknowingly punishing that bully. a teacher caught him and said "you must be kind and not annoy a bunny" he argued i did not hurt it it was the soft eraser. the teacher took him to the principal and lied that he "poked the bunny with his pencil" luckily the principal did not believe the accusation. he was busy dealing with the other teachers who reported many kids absent kuz all the other bullies were simply "absent". the principal informed their parents that those brats "ran away from school" and added "good riddance" not knowing they were still in the school where they would be fed every day. 

harry was grateful he was a wizard but still did not use magic and certainly not to "un-tree" the bully. in fact he dared a girl "i bet you cant break even one branch off" so the peer pressure worked and the girl broke off one of the thin branches off the tree which satisfied harry's desire for justice.

Chapter 8  The Deathday Party; Nearly Headless Nick invited Harry and his pals , who enjoy the haloween "Deathday Party." after the party, Harry hears voices again, he n his pals followd the sound to find the cat now petrified.

fan-fiction on halloween harry emphasized his parents "deathday" [OMG rowling missed that?] and lit candles in some catholic ceremony kuz his parents were murdered on halloween. he feels comforted that he zapd voldemort while on his host quirrel, long enough for dumbledor to trap him in the mirror.

at hogwarts, hermione skipped the halloween feast to study. when she walked toward the feast to eat something she "heard hissing" kuz she does not know parseltong. she found the cat now petrified.

Chapter 9  The Writing on the Wall; Harry, Ron and Hermione consult Moaning Myrtle, about the cat mystery.

fan fiction: hermione alone went in the girls bathroom to consult moaning myrtle. not harry who is at catholic scool nor ron who stopped being her friend, only girls can go into the girls bathroom or else the boys would get punished. if they argue "i feel like i am really a lady" they will probably find their eyes filled with pepper spray before they exit.

Chapter 10  The Rogue Bludger; Harry, Ron and Hermione got permission to enter into the Restricted Section of the library. they study a book on making Polyjuice Potion. during the Quidditch match a "rogue bludger" chases Harry, and hit harry breaking his arm. despite the pain he caught the golden-snitch. Lockhart’s attempt to heal Harry removes the bones from his arm. [too bad he stayed in hogwarts] Madam Pomfrey begins to heal him, students find a student named Colin Cheevey petrified while he was aiming his camera.

fan fiction: harry was not hit by a bludger kuz he stopped going to wizard school but a hufflepuff keeper broke his arm due to the Rogue Bludger etc.

hermione used harry's invisibility cloak, which he had brought with him to the burrow in book two, and ron gave for hermione's september birthday, before their fight, in fan fiction, to secretly enter the Restricted Section of the library. she read a book about the potion that disguises the drinker. when exiting the library SHE found a petrified student.

Chapter 11  The Duelling Club; Hermione was in the girl’s toilet room brewing Polyjuice Potion,  Lockhart and Snape arranged a duelling club. draco dueld Harry. d' conjured a snake but h' calmed it.  students find the petrified bodies of Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly-Headless Nick.

+fan fiction: ron urged hermione, for the sake of stopping the danger of petrified students, to get disguised so SHE made a distraction while he stole ingredients from Snape’s office [draco expeld he is not a suspect, nor dueld harry, but ginny is in slytherin] l' dueld snape and snape conjured a snake. so l' yielded. ron wanted to question his sister in slytherin if she knows anyone in slytherin that is causing the petrifications. when he tried and she did not want to talk he knew he needed the disguise.

Chapter 12  The Polyjuice Potion; in Dumbledore's office the phoenix was burning, Christmas day, presents are opened, Crabbe and Goyle get drugged for taking their hair. the trio HH&R drank Polyjuice potion. H&R disguised as Crabbe and Goyle, spoke with Draco Malfoy and find he has nothing to do with the Secret Chamber. they find Hermione is part cat.

flaw: the school EMPTIES for chrismas so C&G would not be there. 

fan fiction: before chrismas hermione cleand a brush of a first year in gryffindor. only ron drank potion so Disguised as that girl spoke with his sister and she SHOWD him=her the diary! s/he learns the secret of the diary. ginny gave it to ron saying she feared it.

Chapter 13  The Very Secret Diary; Harry finds Tom Riddle’s diary. Lockhart arranged a Valentine’s party with dwarfs as cupids. after it Harry learns the secret of the diary.

f.f. harry elsewhere. party fun for ron and ginny and their pals.

Chapter 14  Cornelius Fudge; Harry found his "belongings ransacked" and the diary missing. Hermione and another girl are petrified.

fan fiction: hermione not petrified she will save ginny. instead ron the thief petrified.

Chapter 15  Aragog; H&R followd spiders into the Forbidden Forest, & find ron's car. huge spiders captured them, until car rescued them.

f.f. ron was petrified. insted hagrid not removed so he followed spiders until huge spiders captured hagrid. his spider friend freed him. 

Chapter 16  The Chamber of Secrets; Harry and Ron visit Hermione in hospital, find her note about basilisk and learn Ginny has been taken by it. Lockhart attempts to flee, but Harry and Ron force him to accompany them. harry unlockd chamber. Lockhart attempts to escape by using Ron’s broken wand, [broken by crash in womping willow] but it backfires. Harry goes alone.

f.f. hermione learns about basilisk so when ginny was found missing she went to moaning myrtle. she convinced a slytherin girl named Draupadi to help ginny. she=d' hissed at the symbol and opend the sink entrance.

Chapter 17  The Heir of Slytherin; Harry found Ginny, met Tom Riddle who controlled Ginny by the diary. the phoenix flew with the Sorting Hat. Riddle (young Voldemort) sent the basilisk to kill Harry, but as it bit harry he killed it using the sword from the hat. the phoenix healed harry who stabbed the fang into the diary, destroying it and Riddle.

f.f. harry elsewhere. hermione found ginny. immediately tom sent basilisk to kill her. phoenix flew hat to her so as it lunged forward to bite her, she ducked under the head and surprised it and stabd it with the sword in the hat. the phoenix flew the diary there so she used same sword to stab the diary. blood bursts from the book and tom exploded in a green fireball. the phoenix tears healed ginny now freed so thanked herm'.

Chapter 18  Dobby’s Reward;  Lucius Malfoy brought Dobby to hogwarts. Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby.

f.f. lucious came to beg dumb' to take back his son draco. d' agreed if he will free his house elf and never enslave elves. l' hesitates but abandoned slavery. hermione thinks about the petrified students and abducted ginny so she left christianity for judaism thinking god is an angry god. she commits to old testament not to be a witch. who will save sirius black? ginny. continued in book azkaban. 

editor's note poor hermione she will soon discover many many rules... and decide to compromise. only the rules with death penalty but free from all the rest... that means no

 witch. 

critique of "i am that" by maharaj

critique of "i am that" by maharaj
intro: "I Am That" is a compilation of philosophy by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a Hindu? spiritual teacher. The English translation was from the original "Marathi recordings" and was published in 1973. 
__
lesson 1.
Maharaj: Before anything can come into being there must be somebody to whom it comes. All appearance and disappearance presupposes a change against some changeless background.
see link for source later
_
i reply: FIRST notice the words "anything must all". this must start the lesson because it does not reply to the question "where" which i did not bring. therefore we must ignore the unrelated question which maharaj ignored and did not discuss anyway. instead what did maharaj teach?
the word "anything" is risky, and the claim "must be somebody" is obviously false. for example... even one example destroys the claim "anything"... if we accept that our planet's sun is "older" than the life on earth [life needs the sun] then the star called sun "came into being" meaning its gas started emitting heat and light [both of those are electromagnetic waves] "before" any life on earth "to whom it came." something such as a star can start existing as a star with fusion but no condition "must" have somebody. in fact those gasses that started fusion preexist the sun and "came into being" before the sun and further away from the start of life on earth so "somebody to whom it comes" is not "must before" the star and its gasses. in fact the life could only start after the sun provided heat so the microbes would not be frozen.
even one example refutes the word "anything" so making this "statement' with the extremes "anything and must" is easy to refute. now what idiot would talk in a manner that is easy to refute? 
similarly any ancient star came into existence without any necessity of "somebody to whom it comes"
this guy is just playing word games but we will give him a chance to CLARIFY his paragraph.
he then adds appearance. well that does not mean "come into being".
maybe he referd to appearance and meant to say "before you see anything you must exist to see it" but that is so obvious to be asinine. like saying "i am a great teacher so i will teach that the sun rises in the morning". wow.
so we move to the next sentence: "all" again he makes a risky generalization with the word "all" appearance is "change against changeless backround."
this is not only false but again due to his "all" easy to refute.
when a star for example the star called sun APPEARED meaning even before fusion even "started emitting light" it was a change called a new star from non-star gasses. well that includes by necesity a change in background  because those gasses changed. not only a dark background added light but he claimed an "unchanging background" yet a star could appear even if the other stars in background began or ended. the gas in the background is the matter that changed into a star so that is not "changeless" we see that this fool should not have published his recordings or should have "re-recorded" whatever idea he was trying to say.
well maybe he was only speaking in symbolism... that is still a waste of time to analyze something unclear... but wait: check the following paragraph out about clarity!
"The book was revised and reedited in July 1981."
so they had a chance to fix this ugly section but there it is published. how do others respond to this book? "The book is considered "the author's masterpiece and a spiritual classic" by authors and teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra. Adyashanti, called the book "the clearest expression I've ever found." 
__i reply: ady' claims it is clear? but i read and saw it is not clear. if maharaj did not mean "the words he chose to say in the recording" that is far from clear. and if he did,  then many words and phrases are too vague. the few clear sentences are stupid or wrong and can only be defended by saying "he meant something else but then not "clear".
if this is his "masterpiece" we can understand the poorer quality of his other stuff... but maybe mixed in, someone found a detail worth emphasizing?
the website sankaracharya dot org chose the following selection to emphasize so we analyze one section that i divided into bite size chunks. 4 quotes in one paragraph together:
maharaj: "The seeker is he who is in search of himself."
i reply: that equation, unless you add a word, is plainly false. if he is defining a seeker, then anybody can seek anything. if he reversed the order, then we could more easily notice the stupidity "he who is in search of himself is a seeker" and similarly in his order. that phrase is not "brilliant" nor "classic" it is false. also the word "search" is not relevant here. maybe he shoulda used the term "learning about you", but one who searches for himself knows "where" he is meaning the location of both  body and whatever he believes rides in his body... in the body.
if he meant a "spiritual seeker" then the flaws are more blatant: before learning about "himself the spirit" one must ask "if" because a person does not know if he has a spirit or only his body?
also even in the topic of spirit, one must ask "if a creator exists then what does he want" because "avoid angering the creator" is urgent whether God or magical fairies for avoiding violating whatever "purpose." only if no creator can one go to less important topics such as "learning self" and other issues. 
also even if no creator being still IF a strong being exists that demands something/anything, ergo we dont want to anger the strong being who can hurt us that is urgent and far more urgent than any philosophy or theory.
__quote 2
maharaj: "Give up all questions except one: "Who am I?" After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are."
i reply: that is bad advice. if the reasoning is "the fact you are sure of" then in the topic of spirit, coming from a "spiritual" teacher, that same reasoning doubts any spirit. i dont know if i have a spirit....  even if i have, still i am "not certain." so that would mean "not seeking the spirit". what remains? if he means the body then the body is easy to describe: a simple answer to "who am i" is  "i am whatever my body is." people with different color hair or skin can each identify themselves. if you say he means spirit then that has already been refuted by his own reasoning.
the fact is: this limitation is both lazy and also against nature. i and most healthy people have WIDE curiousity. when we study for a job, students do ask to understand whatever subjects we chose to study. isolating one question is harmful advice and lazy.
if my child asks "why is thunder so loud and scary" i could but should not answer "your question is less important that the big question "who are you."
can you see how lazy that is? like dont ask any question except one. this  quote from maharaj is as flawed as lesson one and therefore he shoulda used his mind for a different topic where he might have been smart.
even in the field of spirit a person should start learning whichever spiritual topic the "learner" finds interesting. let YOUR heart guide your search, but not because maharaj said "only ask who are you".
still if you dont ask about purpose, then urgency demands to check to avoid violating whatever purpose you or the world have and avoid angering whatever creator or strong being as above.
we dont know yet but if the world was created for a purpose can we risk angering the creator? if i know as maharaj insists "that you are" i need to urgently ask why? if i have a purpose then i must avoid angering the creator who caused my existence. if i risk "not asking about purpose" then i risk angering a spirit. so first i must know if i have a purpose. maybe i dont have a purpose and then i can "learn" about myself.
in summary "the question who am i" is not more important than the "purpose of the world" unless we assume the world does not have a purpose?
quote 3
maharaj: The "I am" is certain. The "I am this" is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. 
i reply: that is so bleep wrong anybody can be certain "they are this" for example a person can simply say with certainty and confidence "i am my body." that is certainly real "in reality." you can be certain because you can test. you choose where those hands attached to you move to. you control which side your eyes face and if you shut them then "you" i emphasize YOU stop seeing what you saw before, because that is "really" who you are. 
to add "search for something spiritual" has already been refuted in quote 2 because you are not certain IF you have a spirit. obviously my body is the one observing. i do not know if anything beyond a physical body exists. and he said "do not ask" unless it is about a "fact of which you are certain" of.
in contrast to his question, the question of purpose, although "the spiritual seeker" does not know IF he or the world have a purpose, that is more urgent because if it does, then we must avoid violating that purpose. only after we know there is no purpose can we be certain we are not angering the gods. so that doubt is more urgent.
although we have seen enough to judge this author is only PRETENDING to be smart and clever with fancy philosophy we give maharaj one more chance to CLARIFY his absurd and even bizarre claims:
quote 4: 
maharaj: "To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not: body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that.  nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive." Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
i reply: anybody who notices that they can control their eyelids and can close the eyelids resulting in stopping seeing can easily refute most of this paragraph.
sentence by sentence: the word "must" is false. we can compare to ANY study. when i chose which shirt to buy lets replace that word shirt in his equation "To know what [a shirt is] you are, you "must first investigate" and know what [a shirt is] you are not." this is blatantly false.
learning what anything is must study the item. i touch the fabric i see the colors etc. the fact a shirt "is not" pants or a million other things is an  infinite waste of time. which shows the foolishness of the word "all" in his phrase 'discover "all" that you are not' that is INFINITELY wasting time. i do not need to measure the space BETWEEN the edge of the shirt and the walls to know the size of the shirt.
the next claim is "you are not your body" yet "you" like me can control where you move those hands that are attached to you and if you want you could close your eyelids and stop reading/seeing because "those body parts" IS you. the only doubt is if you are MORE than your "body and feelings and thoughts". but claiming you are "not those" is false.
you can "percieve" you because you can see your hands and if you "cross your eyes" you can see your nose. if you use a mirror you can see your eyes and all those things that you move are certainly you. the only doubt is if you are more?
the last sentence is flawed logic, "very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive" why not? i can see my eyes despite that my eyes see and i can be certain that the purpose of eyes is seeing if i close and open them.
if he wanted to teach a budhist idea he shoulda said clearly "the observer or perceiver" is more than whatever he sees. but he tried to exclude "whatever you percieve" for no good reason.
the very act of perceiving only shows that the OBSERVER exists beyond whatever he can see. and if that was his point he coulda first claimed "when you see anything you are an observer and therefore that defines "you" as an observer the one thinking." 
then the "devils advocate would say "that does not define deaf or blind that exist without seeing or hearing" and we return to thinking. whoever is thinking or hearing or seeing etc. is the "you'. and if so the question is not "who are you" as he wrote but "how to describe" the one thinking and what is the essence of the one thinking. so the whole paragraph even after knowing budhism is wrong line by line. if he was smart he would tel his students not to publish his stuff unless he records new. so i need to tell you we have given him a chance and studied two sections and the guy is wasting your time.
now that we see who this charlatain is, we can warn not read nor publish nor buy  his book.
in stead of his answer in section "the sense of i am" lets answer the "Questioner: It is a matter of daily experience that on waking up the world suddenly appears. Where does it come from?"
answer: the same location it was before waking up. or did you mean where did the items that APPEAR in your room come from? well somebody brought them into your room from shops.
oh you asked about the world? before asking where we must ask "if" meaning is it true that the "world came from" anywhere or anything?
we see the world exists apparently it always existed. and if you say life cannot live infinitely and trees die still rocks do not die. a rock could exist infinte time. from infinite time. even life can be born from a mother from its mother infinitely. so ask another question.
hmm, lesson 2 lacks a question and lesson 3 they reverse roles the questioner said a "statement" instead of being a seeker while the teacher changed to a questioner and if so who is he asking?
"Q: I am always somebody with its memories and habits. I know no other "I am".
M: Maybe something prevents you from knowing? When you do not know something which others know, what do you do?"
here the "questioner" has certainty. the teacher "presumes" that "others know" well what oif the others have a "wrong answer".
when he suggest "maybe prevents" he should take his own advice and "give up all questions" and dont ask matbe's so we see that this source is bad and we spent too much time on this "holy spiritual philosopher" and we should stop.

summary of potter book 2 chamber secrets

summarizing chapter 1-10 from 18 in 

potter book 2 Chamber of Secrets 1998, video 2002.

fixing the awful chapter synopses By William Silvester © 2002?

for example he starts with the false "In which we are reminded of the happenings during Harry’s first year at Hogwarts" that is worse than bad that is awful... truly NO "reminder IN" that chapter of "events at Hogwarts". worse this is a bad start kuz certainly not at the start of the chapter which starts with the "dramatic arguments" during the breakfast meal, which do not refer to any event at Hogwarts. just BRIEFLY uncle complained about pet owl which could be a "muggle" complaint to anybody who had a pet. even the argument about the "magic" word is baffling for anyone who did not read the books in order i mean if did not yet read book one as i explain below. 

also in silv' "coming" does not mean "has guest" that is awful! the word "has" is present but wrong when "coming". also "very important" only described meeting but wrongly described the guest who is not important just a business partner. so i must fix all this.

OMG strike 3 you are out ! in synopsis "is forgotten" that is FALSE harry didn't forget must specify WHO forgot.

__fixing the book itself, in the big picture, the DANGER is not voldemort who is still too weak. so better to have harry defeat quirrel in book one WHILE v' attached to remove v' threat and that means harry ALREADY defeated v' then. these adventures are different dangers such as a flying anchanted carriage out of control.

also this failed to be a "stand alone novel" failing to reference earlier relevant events for example "say the magic word" is meaningless without referencing that the dursleys "avoided mysterious stuff" in book one and this is not referenced. i read "book 2" after reading "half blood and phoenix" and even saw video one: stone... before reading this, yet that argument was baffling without reading book one and without the reference which a stand alone would reference. knowing he was a wizard still did not help understand their reaction.

__

fixing summary: see above the need.

Chapter 1 The Worst Birthday; uncle Vernon prepared the family for a very important sales meeting at dinner. he and his wife forgot harry's birthday again.

Chapter 2 Dobby’s Warning; the elf Dobby, appeard in Harry’s room. he warnd harry "not to return to Hogwarts," dobby's noise disturbed the Dursleys’ dinner. dobby even threatened to dump cake if harry would not agree to stay home. Dobby did his threat. the dursleys blame harry.

FAN-fiction: when dobby said dont go to hogwarts, harry assured him he had already decided not to continue at hogwarts. dobby said "i believe you because you are a wizard." harry insisted that he was catholic so not a wizard anymore. ergo dobby dumped the cake so the adults blamed harry of USING magic so they put bars in his window. 

Chapter 3  The Burrow; Ron, and his brothers Fred, and George Weasley use the flying enchanted car to "break" off the window bars to free Harry.

they fly to w's home called "Burrow." Harry helpd "de-gnome" the garden.

FAN-fiction harry argued with ron about the bible forbidding wizardry. harry said being a wizard is a sin [book deuteronomy]. ron argued that "God never saved" the victims of voldemort, ergo more logical to be an atheist than believe a book that describes God as "merciful and doing kindness." they continue friendship DESPITE argument if harry will give ron the invisibility cloak. he did.

Chapter 4  At Flourish and Blotts; Harry tried to join the Weasleys trip [x go, both did not go] to Diagon Alley using Floo Powder. Harry arrived in a shop, named F&B where he heard mr. Malfoy's business. met author/teacher Gilderoy Lockhart,  Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy [x "come to blows" wrong they only argue].

fan fiction: ron invited HARRY to come with them to diagon alley. harry agreed until he saw they were using FLOO powder so said he does not want to use magic anymore. ron points out "from you??" who already used the enchanted car. harry explaind that he needed to escape as an exception but not daily. ron still insists that harry like all religious are "self-willingly blind hypocrites." ma compromises that harry can stay while they get school books. he read some more bible because it has many many pages and books. at F&B mr. malfoy did some mysterious business but harry did not hear it. at d.a. the weaslys buy school books and ONLY they not harry met g.l'. mr. malfoy ridiculed the poor weasleys. mr. w' argued "at least my money is an honest job better than you". he expected m'  to snarl and leave but surprisingly mr. malfoy turned pale... fearing w' knew about the meeting at F&B draco repeated his complaint about [the irresponsibe] too many children. ginny argued "you are just lonely with no siblings". draco drew his wand angrily. ron yelld "expeliarmus" disarming malfoy. g.l. expeld draco from hogwarts for using magic outside of school. and therefore l' "snapped his wand" same as when hagrid was expelld.

lucious argued if so expell ron too? l' argued that that charm was needed and harmless. now draco and draco's WAND will never go to hogwarts. this  unknowingly ruined the "wardrobe plan."

Chapter 5  The Whomping Willow; the [x entire wrong you said charles was in another country in book one] Weasley family and Harry [x cram wrong the inside was expanded according to book, same as the tent in goblet fire] into a car. they drove to train Station. percy led ginny to the train but  "Harry and Ron" cannot get through the magic entrance.  ron flew harry in the enchanted car to Hogwarts. when they enter hogwarts area the magic canceld the car's enchantment so it fell and crashed into the Whomping Willow. ron's wand snapped. [as mentioned in azkaban chapter one]

FAN-fiction: all the weasly students including ginny used a "port key" to get to scotland and instead of a train, quickly arrived at the hogwarts terminal. ginny separated for the BOATS same as harry' first year kuz she first year. ron and the others rode enchanted cariages same as book azkaban. dobby is by the hogwarts terminal he THERE saw ron's red hair in the carriage and announced "harry must avoid danger" as he made it fly off road and backwards. the carriage tried to return to its course so the STRUGGLE caused a crash into the w.w. which snapped ron's wand. historicly this is how his wand snapped by the w.w. but rowling's publisher made her change the story for "better marketing". which house is ginny? i say slytherin replacing draco. the sorting hat assigned ginny w. to slytherin house separate from ron and percy kuz she differed from them.

Chapter 6  Gilderoy Lockhart; in Herbology, hermione and ron's class learn about animal-like herbs called mandrakes. Lockhart [replaced quirrel as] was teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. he taught the class about mischivious "Cornish Pixies".

fan fiction ron gave hermione a birthday present: harry's invisibility cloak.

Chapter 7  Mudbloods and Murmurs; Ron’s spell backfires due to his damaged wand, "Harry and Ron serve detention" for what?

fan fiction: harry went to a standard public school. he is small and shorter than his own classmates.  during recess, the big bullies surrounded harry and one pushed him down to the concrete path so he regretted that he cannot use magic to stop them. after hermione and ron learned about pixies  in chapter 6,  now in chapter 7, after hermione's birthday, ron argued with her about harry's absence. ron ridiculed harry "at least YOU have some sense but harry thinks wizardry is a sin against a so-called kind god who does not really act kindly." hermione argued "that is not harry's mistake. we christians are free from the laws of the old testament same as the festivals in book leviticus." ron insulted her and they stop being friends.

back at catholic scool, one fateful day the bullies were "chasing" [same as book one chapter 2] harry who tried to run. one big eleventh grader lifted harry to throw him in a large rubbish bin... while the others jeered "chuck him in'.... when the wizard nature burst forth and the whole group of bullies changed into... a group of bunnies [same as moonie made a brat transform into a rabbit but "bullies" changed to letter "n" bunnies] with bunny minds, except the one holding harry who changed into a tree rooted to the tar parking lot and now blocking the huge rubbish bin. harry held the new branch and jumped down. he pushed the heavy bin aside so the lorry rubbish truck could approach the bin and not cause questions about the new tree.

the new rabbits ran across the scool football field where some girls were practicing. some girls pick up the wandering bunnies and adopt them as class pets. the same day a mean brat poked his red eraser to annoy his class bunny such unknowingly punishing that bully. a teacher caught him and said "you must be kind same as god and not annoy a bunny" he argued i did not hurt it it was the soft eraser. the teacher took him to the principal and lied that he "poked the bunny with his pencil" luckily the principal did not believe the accusation. he was busy dealing with the other teachers who reported many kids absent kuz all the other bullies were simply "absent". the principal informed their parents that those brats "ran away from school" and added "good riddance" not knowing they were still in the school where they would be fed every day. 

harry was grateful he was a wizard but still did not use magic and certainly not to "un-tree" the bully. in fact he dared a girl "i bet you cant break even one branch off" the peer pressure worked and the girl broke one of the thin brranches off the tree which satisfied harry's desire for justice.

__end part one

Chapter 8  The Deathday Party; Nearly Headless Nick invites Harry [not him=filch] and his pals who enjoy the haloween Deathday Party. after the party, Harry hears voices again, he n his pals followd the sound to find the cat now petrified.

fan-fiction on halloween harry emphasized his parents "deathday" [OMG rowling missed that?] and lit candles in some catholic ceremony kuz his parents were murdered on halloween. he feels comforted that he zapd voldemort while on his host quirrel, long enough for dumbledor to trap him in the mirror.

at hogwarts, hermione skipped the halloween feast to study. when she walked toward the feast to eat something she "heard hissing" kuz she does not know parseltong. she found the cat now petrified.

Chapter 9  The Writing on the Wall; Harry, Ron and Hermione consult Moaning Myrtle, about the cat mystery.

fan fiction: hermione alone went in the girls bathroom to consult moaning myrtle. not harry who is at catholic scool nor ron who separated from her kuz he is mad that his ex-friends are types of christian and besides, only girls can go into the girls bathroom or else the boys would get punished. if they argue "i feel like i am really a lady" they will probably earn a punch when they exit and find their eyes filled with pepper spray before they exit.

Chapter 10  The Rogue Bludger; Harry, Ron and Hermione got permission to enter into the Restricted Section of the library. they study a book on making Polyjuice Potion. during the Quidditch match a "rogue bludger" chases Harry, and hit harry breaking his arm. despite the pain he caught the golden-snitch. Lockhart’s attempt to heal Harry removes the bones from his arm. [too bad he stayed in hogwarts] Madam Pomfrey begins to heal him, students find a student named Colin Cheevey petrified while he was aiming his camera.

fan fiction: harry was not hit by a bludger kuz he stopped going to wizard school but a huffle puff keeper broke his arm due to the Rogue Bludger etc.

hermione used harry's invisibility cloak, which he had brought with him to the burrow in book two, and ron gave for hermione's september birthday, before their fight, in fan fiction, to secretly enter the Restricted Section of the library. she read a book about the potion that disguises the drinker. when exiting the library SHE found a petrified student.

Chapter 11  The Duelling Club

fixing William Silvester's bad Chapter Synopses, July 10, 2011, by me 2021

__Chapter 1, The Boy Who Lived; Vernon Dursley and his blond haired wife Petunia have a blond son named Dudley. [x peculiar happenings, too vague] Vernon saw a cat reading a map. Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall that voldemort is gone. a flying bike, which Hagrid rode delivered Harry Potter to the Dursley's door because petunia and his dead ma [not pa] were siblings. note: was uncle vernon on father's side or mother? neither only by marriage. 

Chapter 2  The Vanishing Glass; Harry has often fled from his violent cousin Dudley, the bully who punched him and other students. Harry went with Dudley to the zoo where dudley punched harry so hard that harry fell. unexplicably, the glass of the boa cage "vanished" so Dudley was scared as the boa escaped. note: in video differs: dudley pushed harry as he left the cupboard under the stairs, but in book harry is already doing chores when dudley came to the kitchen. in video, when glass vanished, dudley toppled forward and splashed into the boa's water but in book he jumped back. 

+fan fiction: the glass temporarily vaporized so dudley who was leaning on the glass toppled in and splashed as the boa escaped. after the boa was free, it rematerialized so the boa had swapped places with Dudley. he was trapped by the glass and banged until the zoo crew unlocked a door. the staff banned the dursleys from coming to zoo due to their crazy kid who somehow got in the boa cage. lesson: magic is possible without a wand.

Chapter 3  The Letters From No One; harry got a letter in the mail=post but dudley stole it and Uncle Vernon destroyd it. more envelopes came, despite Vernon's efforts so he drove the family to a hotel. even there a letter came so they go to the sea to sleep in "the house on the rock" on a tiny island.

Chapter 6  The Journey From Platform 9 3/4; Uncle Vernon drove Harry to 

the train Station and left him on platform nine. the Weasleys explain how to go to the secret Platform 9 3/4 [+meaning closer to ten coulda wrote 2/3 but that truly is a different train route maybe not express but with more stops to hogwarts school]. he and ron become friends and they met Hermione. harry went in a boat to the castle with other first years. +kuz no brooms like the older kids on train. harry used train in year 3, kuz train not only for first years. he probably flew on broom from the station to the school castle.

Chapter 7  The Sorting Hat; Professor McGonagall tells the first-years that the school has four competing houses. a magical wizard's pointy hat sorted the first years so Harry hermione and ron are in the same house. a generous meal materializes. ron's brother led harry and his house mates to [x find] the tower dorm.

Harry and his friends evade Filch and saw Fluffy, the three-headed dog.

Chapter 10  Hallowe’en; Harry received a broom, learnd the rules of Quidditch and practiced. before [not On] Hallowe’en, in Charms class, Hermione is first to succeed at levitation. at Hallowe’en feast, a girl told harry that hermione was crying in girls’ bathroom, suddenly quirrel reported a troll. the students evacuate but harry and ron go to warn herm'. she gets trapped there with the same troll. Harry jumped on the troll. ron did leviosa to troll club which jumpd and fell knocking troll unconcious. [censor friendship founded on a lie !] fanfiction alternate ending: as above herm' succeeded at levitation so she alone did leviosa to troll club. she appreciated that they came to warn her and become friends. ron's success is later.

Chapter 11  Quidditch; Harry saw Snape’s injured leg. Harry’s first Quidditch match was against Slytherin. someone jinxes his broom until hermione helpd. fan fiction NOW ron did leviosa. as harry fell ron did leviosa to a different broom toward harry saving harry. harry swallowed the Snitch.

Chapter 12  The Mirror of Erised; Harry, Hermione n Ron started researching Flamel. the school emptied for Christmas, Ron showed Harry wizard chess, Harry gets a Christmas gift, his father’s invisibility cloak from "no one", he wore it and found the Mirror of Erised, which showed his parents.

Chapter 13  Nicolas Flamel; Harry learns about Flamel, Gryffindor "wins over Hufflepuff" when Harry grabs the snitch. Harry followed Snape into the Forbidden Forest where he heard snape and Quirrell speaking of the Philosopher’s Stone.

Chapter 17  The Man With Two Faces; Harry discoverd Quirrell [not Snape] is trying to get the Stone.  the Mirror of Erised gave the Stone to Harry. Voldemort ordered Quirrell to kill Harry, and they struggle in suspense for the stone.... harry awoke in a hospital bed. At the end of year banquet these successes related to the stone earn Gryffindor the House Cup.

+fan fiction: before harry got the stone, v' orderd q' to "kill harry." q' sent a girl not named gabby, to call harry to his office. on the way as harry went alone in a corridor q' grabbed his arm and pulled him into a chamber. q' demands he tell him about the sorcerors stone but harry did not know. harry turned to run but q' waved his arm generating a sheet of flame blocking harry's escape from the room. as q' was strangling harry to death, as v' had ordered, harry pushed on q's arm causing a burn. q' escaped and harry did NOT kill quirrel. the only crumbling was when hagrid disarmed vernon on the island.

now at the conclusion:

instead of chapter 17 contents, harry SURPRISED q' and quickly petrified q' using the same spell that he heard from hermione when she already stoned nevil. same as nevil, q' fell... ergo his turban fell revealing voldemort who was attached and got petrified together, thanks to harry.

then harry saw his parents again until dumbledore "apparated" appeared by the mirror. d' praised harry for stopping q' and told harry to remove the stone.  "the Mirror of Erised gave" the red Stone to Harry. iinstead of prison where v' might escape, d' trapped q' with his rider v' in the mirror, ending the threat from v'. d' invited harry to help him destroy HORCRUXES. harry went to visit ron in the hospital wing. d' did not reward gryffindor so slytherin won the house cup. however he did praise the trio for stopping quirrel.

when harry arrived in london, uncle vernon drove harry to a church where he learned that the bible forbids wizardry. by phone he told hermione  about this so they argued. harry insisted he will not return to hogwarts but hermione claims they are free from the old testament rules same as the holidays in leviticus. when harry agreed not to return to hogwarts the vernons explain they were only vicious for fear he would be like petunia's sister but now they will send him to any school he wants and treat him equal to dudley with no favoritism.+endnote: who will save ginny from the special book diary? hermione not harry as i published elsewhere.

END book one. the adventure will continue in chamber secrets with more danger and adventure except harry's story ended. "hermione and ginny in chamber of secrets," kuz harry decided to be catholic and stop sinning as a wizard and obey the christian witch hunt idea that wizard is a sin, except he knows that a muggle cannot kill a real witch and any success would be the murder of an innocent non-witch. 

compare russia length to china's (and u.s.)

compare russia length to china's (and u.s.)
as the year 2021 is ending, very soon, the number will increase to 2022,  new year will begin at 12am in each time zone. russia has many time zones so when we see a map of china, on the FAT part of the globe, and compare russia [on thinner part] to china, then russia certainly SEEMS much longer, on some maps it SEEMS double length and on time zone maps from east tip we can count 7 time zones compared to only one in china but truly the difference is much less. so how much? in terms of time zones we take 360 degrees of sphere and have 24 time zones each zone is 15 degrees of sphere. from the east point of russia which is narrow at 169 west, westward to 180 and to st. petersberg at 30 east that is MANY degrees of thin time zones. 11+150=161 enough for 11 eleven narrow time zones. 
each point 15 degrees apart COULD start the new yearr one hour later despite the solar cycle in 2 more days "birth of added light" in the majority land for you humans that need land and light but have difficulty in water and darkness, for those reasons land and light cause the date called december 23 so i need to add a day to the twelfth month to start 1/1 with the solar cycle]
russia's length of eleven NARROW time zones in contrast to u.s. "only" FOUR fat time zones of 55 degrees, kuz boston 71 until cape alava on west at 125=55 degrees is not truly double. i am not denying russia is longer than CHINA i just want to FIX  the misconception: by how much longer?
china length is 4200 kilometer [as explained later] while russia from east tip to saint peterberg along the thin part of globe is 4800 kilometrs. in fact at that latitude of the thin part of the globe 66 degreees north the circumference is 10,681 km and from there to 30 degrees east only 4776 km, and since s.p. is s.w. the hypotenuse is 4800 km very far from double china's 4200. that russian hypotenuse from the tip to the baltic coast, is only 6% longer than the hypotenuse in u.s. at worldatlas website miles that are 4500 km. 
if russia would accept the greenwich lines then moscow and s.p. would be an additional time zone beside volgograd from longitude 7 until 37 is two time zones so east of 37 is a different time zone.
conclusion: we see the one time zone of china at the fat part of the globe is around NINETY percent of russia length.
both kashgar in west china and shanghai in east will have midnight simultaneously. in contrast cape dez' will enter 2022 at its midnight four hours earlier, when china calls 8pm. 
magadan on the south coast has a separate narrow time zone.151,60 this is a flaw considering 7 until 157 is ten zones 150/15=10, so 151e is in tenth tenth zone so should be +10 not +11 instead better like vladivostok.
next yakutzk 129e, 9 hours sooner than briton and 6 hours before moscow.
next irkutzk and china reach 12 am.
china's 4200 hypotenuse from shanghai across to 75e, 39n is less than u.s. by 300 km ergo as above that russian hypotenuse only 6% longer than u.s.'s and only seems much longer due to map distortion.
moscow and s.p. reach 12am simultaniusly with volgograd as above. 
anyway regardless of WHICH city we can celebrate each hour from british 11am of december 31, when new zealand enters 2022 13 hours before briton. and each hour another time zone enters 2022. i will need the whole bottle of champagne!
13 nz, 12 dez', 11mag', 10 vlad' but see above, 9 yak' 8 china, 7,6,5,4, volgograd +3 at 44e, but moscow flaw +3 kuz 7.5+30 includes moscow in zone 2 like jerusalem +2, norway at 10 degrees east +1 kuz 7+15=22 but sofia bulgaria 23 like jerusalem 35e.
at 7a in jerusalem u.s. enters 2022, and each hour for four zones as above and then alaska too -9 and one hour later hawaii reaches 12am.

fixing Sangraha section of book one adi in mahabharata

 

the need for improvement:

the version of mahabharata that we have starts with the story in "the forest of Naimisha"  when "Ugrasrava, the son of Lomaharshana," met sages at the twelve years' sacrifice of Saunaka. HOWEVER there are several indications that this is not the mahabharata firstly internally the m' was "told in its entirety" at the snake sacrifice and that section is later and that is the real mahab'.

around it more was added. 

tradition teaches that the beginning of the expanded mahab' is on page 207 of our version meaning the introduction is 207 pages until the king santanu.

evidence to support this claim is that in the section summarizing the mahabharata in section 2 named Sangraha, it has "detailed summaries" of ancient parts and books but much less for the sections before santanu. for example santanu is in the section Sambhava and from samb' the section provides summaries for the ancient expanded mahab' but for the introduction added the author did not write only as they added pausha and pauluma they added the NAME as we see on p.17 "The first section is called Anukramanika; the second, Sangraha; then Paushya; then Pauloma; the Astika". only names similarly in the part with summary we notice the difference only NAMES until samba! and only wrote summary for the older contents starting in samba compare in this quotation "In the Adi parva are contained Paushya, Pauloma, Astika, Adivansavatara, Samva, the burning of the house of lac" which IS "Jatugrihadaha (setting fire to the house of lac)" however "the slaying of Hidimba" is the later section "Hidimbabadha (the killing of Hidimba)".

to fix these problems i will need to blend several paragraphs to provide a summary of the introduction which is missing.

****we see the summary did write for contents of samba' however when they added intro it was merely introduction so they only mentioned the name of the added section not its contents.

after specifying that the intro is not even part of the expanded mahab' now somebody can provide a summary of those section and since the mahab' itself starts its summary paushya i will fll in the missing sections.

__fixing missing

the MAIN thing to fix is the summary starts pausha p. 19 yet names previous sections before paushaon p. 17 ergo i fix that now.

book one adi parva 

section one has a name:  on p.17 "The first section is called Anukramanika; the second, Sangraha; then Paushya; then Pauloma."

Anukramanika

summary of anuk': 

in the Naimisa forest, Sage Saunaka was performing a sacrifice that would continue until 12 years. ascetics were gathered there, when Ugrasravas came.  ug' was a teller for tales. the sages asked for the story of the Mahabharata at the snake sacrifice. Ugrasravas [merely] inroduced the Mahabharata.

Sage Vyasa [who shared the name krishna with other krishnas] saw the first egg from which gods and men exited. he knew the four Vedas.

the story is both related concisely [in section 2 no name in some versions] before the detailed stories. by denying himself pleasures he accurately saw the stories. when Vyasa wanted to teach it, a god came, he was brahma who had the purpose of   Creator, [huh? this section puts isa as more purposes later divided to vishnu and siva coincidently "isa" is the same ancient name of jesus who the author believed in as the one god who others called by three names as indicated in this section] who "cared for"= sustainer all.  Brahma advised him that the god Ganesha should write "what you say".

Ganesha came and wrote the epic.

the numbers of the army. the battle was 18 days: For the Kauravas, Bhishma was the chief for ten days, Drona for five days, Karna for 2 days and Salya for half a day. one night, Aswatthama murderd the five sons of Pandavas.

+a summary of the 18 parvas.

one who recites or listens from others the Mahabharata, there is no need to take a dip in the Pushkara.

3. Paushya The Paushya parva treats of the greatness of Utanka, and the Pauloma, of the sons of Bhrigu.

Astika describes the birth of Garuda and of the Nagas (snakes), the churning of the ocean, the incidents relating to the birth of the celestial steed Uchchaihsrava, and finally, the dynasty of Bharata, as described in the Snake-sacrifice of king Janamejaya. 

The Sambhava parva narrates etc. ...

WAIT 

note: p.19 has after  Astika: Adivansavatara but a few lines later astika is followed by samb' and the kings are in the end of astika! this also reveals additions even further from original.

Adivansavatarana x, Sambhava 

"Sambhava of wonderful and thrilling incidents. "the birth of various kings and heroes, and that of the sage, Krishna Dwaipayana: the partial incarnations of deities, the generation of Danavas and Yakshas of great prowess, and serpents, Gandharvas, birds, and of all creatures; and lastly, of the life and adventures of king Bharata--the progenitor of the line that goes by his name--the son born of Sakuntala in the hermitage of the ascetic Kanwa. This parva also describes the greatness of Bhagirathi, and the births of the Vasus in the house of Santanu and their ascension to heaven. In this parva is also narrated the birth of Bhishma uniting in himself portions of the energies of the other Vasus, his renunciation of royalty and adoption of the Brahmacharya mode of life... leading to "slaying of hidimba p.20 but that is a different section quote: " then Hidimbabadha (the killing of Hidimba)"=and the slaying of her brother Hidimba by Bhima of great prowess. 

what a mess. yet the sections are blurd.

Jatugriha

Jatugrihadaha (setting fire to the house of lac) and then Hidimbabadha (the killing of Hidimba). these sections were blurd.

we can compare on p.19 "In the Adi parva are contained Paushya, Pauloma, Astika, Adivansavatara, Samva, the burning of the house of lac, the slaying of Hidimba"  which we now know from page 17 are later separate sections. but this list lacks two names anuk' and sangraha. it adds adiv' but the summary with details lacks adiv' as above.

summarizing mahabharata books 1, 2, 3 of 18

in september and october of 2020 i fixed the internal summary of mahabharata.
i mean in book one section 2, the m' described each of its 18 books. so i improved that summary.
use RIGHT click to open new tab and keep this open. its own summary of book one is good so i improved the summary of books 2 and 3 at link:
https://thinkforyourselfn8.blogspot.com/2020/10/summarizing-mahabharata-more.html
there.
now that the short summary of the 18 books was improved and published  i can start a more detailed summary of each of the 18 books called parvas. 
i now give a more lengthy summary of book one but if you prefer, it is already summarized in book one section 2 describing book one.
MAHABHARATA book one ONE named adi parva. first =Adi, fixing RAMESH boring summary
intro: "The Mahabharata has 18 books called parvas. the first of 18,  is named Adi, kuz in Sanskrit, meaning is first. adi was divided by some into 19 sections". its second section has an internal summary of the 18 parvas. however some start the mahabhararta after that kuz 207 pages are only introduction before the mehebharata starts with king santanu's wife agreeing to the gods request to kill their children.
after i summarized and published already the part of section two that describes the 18 books i can now expand more details for each section to help find the more attractive stories.
__Adi Parva
1. Anukramanika-Parva is only one chapter ["275 verses"].  it fills 15 pages so i summarize here:
in the Naimisa forest, Sage Saunaka was performing a sacrifice that would continue until 12 years. ascetics were gathered there, when Ugrasravas came.  ug' was a teller for tales. the sages asked for the story of the Mahabharata at the snake sacrifice. Ugrasravas [merely] inroduced the Mahabharata.
Sage Vyasa [who shared the name krishna with other krishnas] saw the first egg from which gods and men exited. he knew the four Vedas.
the story is both related concisely [in section 2 no name in some versions] before the detailed stories. by denying himself pleasures he accurately saw the stories. when Vyasa wanted to teach it, a god came, he was brahma who had the purpose of   Creator, [huh? this section puts isa as more purposes later divided to vishnu and siva coincidently "isa" is the same ancient name of jesus who the author believed in as the one god who others called by three names as indicated in this section] who "cared for"= sustainer all.  Brahma advised him that the god Ganesha should write "what you say".
Ganesha came and wrote the epic.
Vyasa [kr' dw'], of the clan of the Bharats, bore 3 sons Dhritarashtra, Pandu. Vidura. After they died, Vyasa told the story of the Mahabharata. At the request of Janamejaya, Vaisampayana told it.
King Pandu visited sages in the forest for hunting. when he shot deer they were "an ascetic couple in the guise of deer".  he dwelled in the forest until he died. his wife Madri entered his funeral pyre burning both.
** the book "around world in 80 days" referd to this as real hindu idea].
The ascetics led the Pandavas to Bhishma's care. The Pandavas learned weapons. they married Draupadi. 
at Dharmaraja's  sacrifice, Duryodhana felt jealous of the Pandavas's wealth. after one gambled and lost in the game of dice, the Pandavas went to the forest and later lived in disguise. at the end of the agreed time, Duryodhana refused to return their kingdom. For this reason, a war broke out between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. p' overcame Kauravas. Vidura consoled Dhritarashtra, who mourned his sons' death. 
If anyone reads even one foot of a stanza of this epic, his sins are removed. 
In ancient times the gods put the four Vedas in one pan of the balance and the Mahabharata in the other. The Mahabharata outweighed the Vedas greatness.

summary of potter book one stone

Potter book 1 Sorceror=Philosopher’s Stone

fixing William Silvester's bad Chapter Synopses, July 10, 2011, by me 2021

__Chapter 1, The Boy Who Lived; Vernon Dursley and his blond haired wife Petunia have a blond son named Dudley. [x peculiar happenings, too vague] Vernon saw a cat reading a map. Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall that voldemort is gone. a flying bike, which Hagrid rode delivered Harry Potter to the Dursley's door because petunia and his dead ma [not pa] were siblings.

note: was uncle vernon on father's side or mother? neither only by marriage. 

Chapter 2  The Vanishing Glass; Harry has often fled from his violent cousin Dudley, the bully who punched him and other students. Harry went with Dudley to the zoo where dudley punched harry so hard that harry fell. unexplicably, the glass of the boa cage "vanished" so Dudley was scared as the boa escaped. note: in video differs: dudley pushed harry as he left the cupboard under the stairs, but in book harry is already doing chores when dudley came to the kitchen. in video, when glass vanished, dudley toppled forward and splashed into the boa's water but in book he jumped back. 

+fan fiction: the glass temporarily vaporized so dudley who was leaning on the glass toppled in and splashed as the boa escaped. after the boa was free, it rematerialized so the boa had swapped places with Dudley. he was trapped by the glass and banged until the zoo crew unlocked a door. the staff banned the dursleys from coming to zoo due to their crazy kid who somehow got in the boa cage.

lesson: magic is possible without a wand.

Chapter 3  The Letters From No One; harry got a letter in the mail=post but dudley stole it and Uncle Vernon destroyd it. more envelopes came, despite Vernon's efforts so he drove the family to a hotel. even there a letter came so they go to the sea to sleep in "the house on the rock" on a tiny island.

Chapter 4  The Keeper of the Keys; Hagrid came and told Harry "you are" [x that he=which?] a wizard. He told how Harry's parents were murdered... by a dark wizard. on halloween, he who must not be named, voldemort attempted to murder the Potter family. both parents died but "Somehow" Harry survived with only a scar, the lightning scar on his forehead.

Chapter 5  Diagon Alley; Hagrid led Harry to the secret and magical "Diagon Alley" in London. at the Gringotts bank, Hagrid took a secret package from a vault. harry saw his inheritance and took some. they went and purchased school supplies, including his wand.  Hagrid gave Harry a train ticket to Hogwarts. +in video: hagrid led harry to the train station where he met the Weasleys.

Chapter 6  The Journey From Platform 9 3/4; Uncle Vernon drove Harry to 

the train Station and left him on platform nine. the Weasleys explain how to go to the secret Platform 9 3/4 [+meaning closer to ten coulda wrote 2/3 but that truly is a different train route maybe not express but with more stops to hogwarts school]. he and ron become friends and they met Hermione. harry went in a boat to the castle with other first years. +kuz no brooms like the older kids on train. harry used train in year 3, kuz train not only for first years. he probably flew on broom from the station to the school castle.

Chapter 7  The Sorting Hat; Professor McGonagall tells the first-years that the school has four competing houses. a magical wizard's pointy hat sorted the first years so Harry hermione and ron are in the same house. a generous meal materializes. ron's brother led harry and his house mates to [x find] the tower dorm.

Chapter 8  The Potions Master; on his first day of classes he meets his teachers in several magical lessons. charms and transfiguration and potions.

snape targeted [x pointed out] harry to shame him. Hagrid invited harry to visit.

stone age and iron age

TIME LINE

year 7000 bc starts grind-lithic [explained below]. by river jordan 7kbc page 16, stone "grind" page 14, to sharpen stone tools as explained below. y7kbc also turkey anatolia page 17, 7000 bc likejordan river page 16 before mesopotamia 4000, page 16.

y3290bc bronz by river jordan page 41. everywhere else egypt or mesopotamia and distant used stone and continued stone until iron after 750 bc.

y3000bc writing in mesopotamia p29, before egypt p22.

y1000bc iron age in israel, the "late israel" 1000bc=iron [museum] to 580bc but far israel before iron age.

y750bc iron in greece but spread from danube river region. rest of europe later. like africa egypt stone continued. no bronze age in egypt despite writing around 2800bc in egypt.

earlier stone tools book 650,000 bc but see below.

we should define the first human as "wise enuf to grind stones" insted of chipping so no human before 7000 bc still animal til then despite larger brain and from then homo sapian not 250,000  page 3.

details: the start of "far lithic" is in conflict between several websites. book claimed stone tools 650,000 since "far ice" started 1 million,p7, after "sapien ancestor erectus 1.1m" p3, and stone tool started 2/3 p7. if so homo erectus the "ancestor" of homo sapien did not use tools until 650kbc. he is considered "human" with title homo insted of "pithicus" based on "skull bone more volume" kuz found bone. seprating human from animal pithicus. however this is a flaw to claim bigger brain since even homo erectus did not yet make stone  tools acording to book itself and  whales have big brains simply relatuve to body so large brain does not show more potential. so i must fix.

azkaban 1999 +2004 part one

 
the harry potter series is old but what was it about?
due to its twentieth anniversary i provide a summary but only the highlights of the exciting parts kuz old.
AZKABAN was a book 1999 that was adapted to video 2004 long long ago. what happend in the story?
the HIGHLIGHTS from "azkaban", fixing the flawed synopses by William Silvester: simply compare the order or enjoy mine alone kuz not simply copied kuz his is bad.
+Chapter 1 Owl Post, Harry secretly wrote his school summer-assignments. one dawn, owls flew in 3 birthday gifts:  a book-beast from hagrid, a broom kit from hermione, and a warn-item from ron. they hid their own birthdates but sent cards that wish "happy birthday" to harry, and that tell him their stories: hermione visited france. ron went to egypt and will buy a new wand which reminds harry of the adventure: flying a car to scool and the collision with the womping willow.
Chapter 2 Aunt Marge’s Big Mistake, Aunt Marge visited. when she insulted Harry's parents, he has cause for anger. the wizard nature, uncontrollable as at the zoo, punished her to swell and float like a helium balloon. harry packed and left, knowing his uncle would refuse to sign permission to visit Hogsmeade.
Chapter 3  The Knight Bus, Harry rode in the Knight Bus to London. He learns that Sirius Black,  escaped "azkaban." Cornelius Fudge met him and does not punish harry [as above he did not perform any spell]. instead he arranged a room in the Leaky Cauldron for harry to sleep. harry has gold to pay for the room.
Chapter 4  The Leaky Cauldron, Harry is free from his mean relatives. when he bout scool supplies, he reunited with Hermione and Ron. Hermione adopted a cat: Crookshanks. Ron has a rat named Scabbers. at the Leaky Cauldron, Harry heard ron's parents say that harry was in danger.
Chapter 5  The Dementor, harry and his pals rode the train to Hogwarts. they talk about harry's hazard at Hogsmeade. Professor Remus Lupin's presence tamed Malfoy. dementors searched the train. one sukd Harry's life until he fainted. at school, [oy bad "and"] Hagrid was teaching Care of Magical Creatures.
Chapter 6  Talons and Tea Leaves, Hermione had a overly full schedule. in Divination class Professor Trelawney hinted Harry will die that year. Hagrid showed a hippogriff [winged horse] named Buckbeak. malfoy was rude so it scratched him. his pa will blame hagrid and hagrid is sad he is doomed.
