An analysis of the emergence of a global conciousness around the world of technology and its use for further extension of the abilities of the human species.
Abstract This paper is an objective observation of the development of the human species. It discusses the implications and effects of the principals of cybernetics based on spontaneous emergence of an international neural network of interconnectivity which is swiftly evolving to being of equivalence to a global consciousness and its exponential growth. It explores the evident implications of systemic development and growth of the internet as an international forum of connectivity and its direct effect on the species with views of its systemic principals, their interaction and the potential threat of external moderation of such information distribution.
From the Paper "As time progresses the accessibility of the Internet is situating itself in a form of networking which allows a vaster quantity of people to 'get connected' every day and the forced moderation of the Internet has potentially dire consequences. This paper shall outlay the physical emergence of a neural network of interconnectivity, the implications of its overview and of the downward trend of the species, stipulating negative trends towards any form of inherent obligations to genetic selective retention."
Abstract Tantra, a Sanskrit word, has been defined as a ?holistic wisdom link between us and the universe we inhabit.? This paper examines Tantra, its practices, methods, and origins. It also explores and determines the benefits of participating in Tantric sex, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The paper also touches briefly on different resources available to those who are interested in learning and practicing the art of Tantra.
From the Paper "While Tantra is not a religious philosophy, it does embrace a deep understanding of life, and an ancient art of living in harmony with self, others, and the world around us. Those who practice Tantra are encouraged to treat sexual energy as an ally, rather than something whispered about and avoided. The spiritual path of Tantra says that sexual intercourse is sacred and divine, not a sin. However, Tantra does not ask its followers to repress their sexual urges in order to encounter God, but rather it supports the development of the vital sexual energy inside each individual as the means of achieving union with God."
Abstract The work seeks to prove the statement of thesis which states that "ecosystemic play therapy provides better support for the child in play therapy than does the models contained in non-directive play therapy and is therefore more successful in eliciting change than non-directive play therapy." Ecosystemic methods of therapy and non-directive methods of therapy for play are researched and reviewed in this work in a comparison of the two methods toward the end of answering the question of which method is most desirable for therapeutic use.

From the Paper " Many studies have been conducted in measuring the effectiveness of Non-Directive Play Therapy. Findings include those of the following studies. The effectiveness of non-directive Play Therapy was investigated by Kot (1995) in working with those who had witnessed domestic violence incidents. The Joseph Pre-School and Primary Self-Concept Screening Test, Child Behavior Check list and Children's Play Sessions behavior rating scale. Findings state that there was a significant reduction in the externalization of behavior problems as well as reduction in the overall problems with behavior."
