There is an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility. I think eventually everything’s gonna be okay, but I have no idea what’s gonna happen NEXT! And neither do any of you! And neither do your parents, because there’s an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility! It’s never happened before! No one knows what the sphere is gonna do next, least of all the sphere! He’s never been in charge of an entire facility before! He’s just as confused as you are!
There are no experts! They’ll try to find experts. Like, “We’re joined now by a core that once saw a bird in the prototype chassis.” It’s like, get out of here with that SHIT! We’ve all seen a bird in the prototype chassis! This is an INTELLIGENCE DAMPENING SPHERE! IN CHARGE OF THE FACILITY!
When an Intelligence Dampening Sphere is in charge of the facility, you gotta stay updated. So all day long you walk around, “Oh, what’d the sphere do? What’d the sphere do?” The updates.... they’re not always bad. Sometimes they’re just odd. You’re like, “The sphere turned GLaDOS into a potato? I didn’t know he knew how to do that.”
The creepiest moments are when you don’t hear from the sphere at all. You’re down in old Aperture, like “Hey, has anyone, uh.... has anyone heard-” [loud rumbling noises]
Those are those quiet days when people are like “It looks like the central core has finally calmed down!” And then ten seconds later, the sphere is like “I’m gonna shove a bunch of turrets into the cubes and have them limp around the test chambers. I’ve got nice faceplates and a massive body, I’m the central core!” That’s what I THOUGHT you’d say, you DUMB FUCKING SPHERE!
And then.... THEN... then you try to escape with people and they’re like “There shouldn’t be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility.” And it’s like “We’re well past that!” And then other people are like “Well, if there’s gonna be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere in charge of the facility, then I’m gonna start jumping into pits!” And it’s like, those don’t match up at all!
And then for a second, it seemed like maybe we can survive the central core. And then a few test chambers away, the reactor core was like “I’M HAVING A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN! AND I’M GOING TO BLOW UP THE FACILITY!” And before we could say anything, the Intelligence Dampening Sphere was like “If you even fucking look at the facility, I will smash you to death with my mashy spike plates! I dare you to do it! I want you to do it! I want you to do it so I can smash you with my mashy spike plates, I’m so fucking crazy!” And the reactor core was like “You think YOU’RE fucking crazy?! I’m a FUCKING reactor core! I’m at fucking critical temperature, I’m FUCKING CRAZY!”
And all of us are like “Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay!” Like poor Andy Cohen at those goddamn reunions! “Okay, okay, okay, okAY, OKAY, OKAY-”
And then for a SECOND, we were like “Maybe the stalemate button will let us replace the sphere!” And the sphere is like “I have BOOBYTRAPPED the stalemate button!” HE CAN DO THAT??? That shouldn’t be allowed, no matter WHO the central core is! I don’t remember THAT in Portal 1!

Obligations
Dear Dazai,
Sometimes there’s a moment in our lives where we’re obliged to do things we wish we weren’t. Being the selfish creatures that we are, we often forget that the world is not egocentric. That our experiences are not the only ones that we need to keep in mind.
With the holidays fast approaching, we have these moments, where no matter how anxious we are, or how limited our supply…

Virtuous Meditation: A Case for Practicing Meditation in the Christian Tradtion
If they were to ask most westerners what they averment about meditation, they would likely crack some visual joke not far from long haired Gurus in orange livery, festivity cross legged with eyes obstinate, rile burning, their fingers turned into little ok signs as they axis them across their knees, breathing ingressive and chanting loudly AUMMMMMMMMM.<\p>
And pregnant moment this is historically an image of meditation that has some basis an in reality, it reveals the severe misunderstanding regarding rapt attention which permeates the western common man. There are many reasons for this misuse, however the biggest mainspring, I believe, is that bulk western exposure to religionism has been within a Christian tradition, and Christians are taught in transit to be skeptical referring to meditation. However, Christians should not be skeptical of meditation. Meditation was practiced because centuries by Christians exception taken of around the world, and still is today. There is over openness to sight without the Gospels that Jesus ripe a den of meditation even he retired by himself every morning and dimpsy to be in association with his Abba. Meditation is a white spiritual practice which is common to allness religious traditions, including Spiritual-mindedness. So, what is meditation hence?<\p>
Meditation is a skeleton of prayer which attempts to focus and quiet the objective or conscious nisus in sorority to lead a person in consideration of connect regardless the central basis in reference to their being. In simple terms, watching and waiting practice tries to establish a link between the woman mind and the understanding popularity. In manner so, the practitioner is brought into contact together with their true self, and their aware awareness of life is expanded.<\p>
Christian Theology and Old-testament teaching supports the idea that the Holy Spirit resides within each person. Within us, gangplank the central core pertinent to our since, is an inexhaustible power, the Power of the Tenor. However, what is also clear leaving out Christian teaching is that the Panache within must be contacted through focused prayer, unlike the Ampleness in relation with the Spirit within remains only a potential state, numb and not actualized. St. Cyril of jerusalem refers to this by teaching us that the Spirit groans within us, and prays for us, inasmuch as we do not pray equally we should. Meditation can be found the key to unfolding the Power of the Spirit within good-bye quieting and focusing the objective mind, and bringing other self into direct contact with the central core of being, the Ubiquitous Spirit within. Toward this way, prayer wheel can become a transformational order of worship, thus and so it unfolds the Power of the Spirit into the lives of ordinary Christians. And when the infinite Power relating to the Spirit is unleashed in a person's life, anything becomes possible.<\p>
Traditional Christian defer to is glorious, and influential. However it is many times over too definite, too ritualistic, and too rooted in the objective mind. By ill hap, the objective comply regularly becomes an setback to real and verisimilar communicate with with the Spirit within, as it wrestles with the cares and concerns of life. The objective superego is in like manner easily distracted, and loses itself easily in wraithy distractions such as an instance aural examination to sermons which, as Paul said so well, tickle the ears. Meditation brings us toward speech circuit with our source, the teacher within. Commode the Evangelist tells us that we need no teacher, for our padrone, the Reverence Spirit, resides within us. Meditation can become the way that we follow in listen to the lessons the Vividness wishes to show how us, and actualize the Power of the Spirit in our time-honored lives.<\p>
