Third Voyage

The presence of tar sands in North America was notedby American Indians several centuries ago. Pitch recovered from surface deposits was used for waterproofing canoes, It is reported llial Columbus observed asphalt from Pitch Lake in Trinidad and used the material for repairing his ships on his third voyage to the West Indies in 1498. The same bitumen deposit was reported by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1595. For several centuries the material was used for repairing vessels,... 

Letter on his Third Voyage from Amerigo VESPUCCI to Lorenzo Pietro Francesco di Medici. 

In order that this truth may be made manifest, I will here relate truthfully, and impartially, the information on the subject which I possess. To understand the matter it is necessary to bear in mind that the Admiral left San Lucar, on his third voyage, on the 30th of May 1498, and arrived at the Cape Verde Islands on the 27th of June. He sighted the island of Trinidad on Tuesday, the 31st...

Enrico Fermi on his voyage to the new world postulated that a third particle was needed to balance the emission of the electron in 3 decay. However, the existing conservation laws also had to be satisfied, so there were a number of constraints on the properties of this new particle. Focusing on the decay of a neutron as a specific example, the reaction is already balanced with respect to electric charge, so any additional particle must be neutral. The electrons were observed with energies up to the maximum allowed by the decay Q value so the mass of the particle must be smaller that the instrumental uncertainties. Initially, this instrumental... 

This manual is divided into four parts. The first part is introductory. The second is a step-by-step description of a psychedelic experience based directly on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The third part contains practical suggestions on how to prepare for and conduct a psychedelic session. The fourth part contains instructive passages adapted from the Bardo Thodol, which may be read to the voyager during this session, to facilitate the movement of consciousness. 

The teaching concerning the hell-visions is the same as before recognize them to be your own thought-forms, relax, float downstream. The INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WRATHFUL VISIONS may be read. If, after this, recognition is still impossible and liberation is not obtained, then the voyager will descend into the Third Bardo, the Period of Re-Entry. 

If, in the second Bardo, the voyager is incapable of holding on to the knowledge that the peaceful and wrathful visions were projections of his own mind, but became attracted to or frightened by one or more of them, he will enter the Third Bardo. In this period he struggles to regain routine reality and his ego the Tibetans call it the... 

The passages THIRD BARDO PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS contain general instructions for the Third Bardo state and its recognizable features. Any or all of the passages may be read when the guide senses that the voyager is beginning to return to the ego. 

The INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ALL-DETERMING INFLUENCE OF THOUGHT are useful in any phase of the Third Bardo, but particularly if the voyager is reacting with suspicion or resentment to other members of the... 

Of course. We have to build in a percentage loss, you see. We ll likely lose between a quarter and a third even on a good voyage. ...
