As the camera moves from the distorted mirror to the grotesquely masked face of the Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) who claims, 'I am your host, wilkommen', the need to look below the 'beautiful' surface of both the cabaret and Berlin is established. As the opening progresses the MC welcomes in three languages, English, French and German, communicating

My parents did what they could to acclimatize me to this new culture but to this day, I feel as though a part me is still missing. Eating my native Korean food satisfies a need that I have no words to describe but leaves me feeling as if a part of me becomes whole again even if it is just for an instant
depicting the Master’s character describes the Emperor, “The Master was warm, yet severe; awesome, yet never harsh; reverent, yet calm.” With this being the Emperor’s character who would dare question his virtue? Did he punish those who dare disobey him, no instead he offered up a chance for self-betterment, is this not virtue?

Would they agree with the way Rafelson’s film depicts their remarkable journey into Africa to find the source of the Nile River?

Aetheros is a quiet, solitary god that was in certain ways lost in his godliness. In return he watches over all the lost mortals and all the lost souls and protects them on their own journey. The entire worship of Aetheros is focused on solidarity and modesty. The processions are quite, the ceremonies and temples are small and modest

schedule was a little lighter in comparison to the Wednesday prior, but I still had a lot of important projects in work. I also had to conduct two interviews and brief one new master sergeant that I just hired the week prior. This briefing was important because it set standards for a new position with duties, in which the master sergeant had no previous experience. Luckily, I wasn’t as sleepy so the briefing went well.

It is still too soon to tell if these new factions throughout our country and Europe will be as much of a success as those of the Eastern Asian countries proved to be; as one Japanese Zen master recently stated, “The first hundred years are the hardest.” This statement seems to be true so far, with modern Zen’s popularity growing and subsiding.
