Antoine, a young Parisian suburbanite, studies accounting without much conviction, dividing his time between the rap battles he practices with talent and his job as a sushi delivery boy. During an errand at the Garnier Opera, his path crosses that of Mrs LOYSEAU, a singing teacher in the venerable institution, who detects in Antoine a raw talent to be developed. Despite his lack of operatic culture, Antoine is fascinated by this form of expression and is convinced to follow Mrs Loyseau's teaching. Antoine has no choice but to lie to his family, his friends and the whole city, for whom opera is a bourgeois thing, far from their world.

“and the view of life you mention, and which you think is the result of your own mental efforts, is the one held by the majority of people, and is the invariable fruit of pride, indolence, and ignorance. Your view of life is a regrettable delusion.”
 War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy

“Yes, I belong to the Brotherhood of the Freemasons,” said the stranger, looking deeper and deeper into Pierre’s eyes. “And in their name and my own I hold out a brotherly hand to you.” “I am afraid,” said Pierre, smiling, and wavering between the confidence the personality of the Freemason inspired in him and his own habit of ridiculing the Masonic beliefs—“I am afraid I am very far from understanding—how am I to put it?—I am afraid my way of looking at the world is so opposed to yours that we shall not understand one another.” “I know your outlook,” said the Mason, “and the view of life you mention, and which you think is the result of your own mental efforts, is the one held by the majority of people, and is the invariable fruit of pride, indolence, and ignorance. Forgive me, my dear sir, but if I had not known it I should not have addressed you. Your view of life is a regrettable delusion.” https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2600/2600-h/2600-h.htm

“I should never dare to say that I know the truth,” said the Mason, whose words struck Pierre more and more by their precision and firmness. “No one can attain to truth by himself. Only by laying stone on stone with the cooperation of all, by the millions of generations from our forefather Adam to our own times, is that temple reared which is to be a worthy dwelling place of the Great God,” he added, and closed his eyes. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2600/2600-h/2600-h.htm

Only by the inner purification of myself can I retain in some degree of purity the liquid I receive.” “Yes, yes, that is so,” said Pierre joyfully. “The highest wisdom is not founded on reason alone, not on those worldly sciences of physics, history, chemistry, and the like, into which intellectual knowledge is divided. The highest wisdom is one. The highest wisdom has but one science—the science of the whole—the science explaining the whole creation and man’s place in it.

A 14 karat gold item, also known as 583/585 gold, means that over half of the mixture, or 58.3 percent and 58.5 percent, respectively, is pure gold.
14/24 = . 583333
Pure gold is 24 karats and . 999 fine.

14 carat .999 (1000) = 24 carat pure gold. Strictly speaking, 14 carat should be 583 (14/24 = . 583333), but most manufacturers have adopted the European practice of making 14 carat gold slightly over 14 carat. Thus, the fineness mark is 585 in most 14 carat gold jewellery. About Gold Jewellery | World Gold Council

War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy
https://gutenberg.org/files/2600/2600-h/2600-h.htm

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, also known as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories--his most famous novel War and Peace, takes place with the backdrop of the French invasion of Russia. Tolstoy is widely considered one of the world's greatest novelists. Without question, Leo Tolstoy was very knowledgeable on the subject of Freemasonry. His descriptions of Masonic rituals in War and Peace were extremely accurate and detailed. In fact, so familiar with the subject of Freemasonry, Tolstoy was able to categorize Freemasons into four groups. Upon reading this description, you'll see that Tolstoy was very accurate in that description, and for the most part, his description of these four types of Masons remains true today: http://www.midnightfreemasons.org/2014/06/leo-tolstoy-freemason-or-not.html

Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg

The Peterhof Palace, is a series of palaces and gardens located in Petergof, Saint Petersburg, Russia, commissioned by Peter the Great as a direct response to the Palace of Versailles by Louis XIV of France. Wikipedia Address: Razvodnaya Ulitsa, 2, St Petersburg, Russia Perhaps the greatest technological achievement of Peterhof is that all of the fountains operate without the use of pumps. Water is supplied from natural springs and collects in reservoirs in the Upper Gardens.

 Who lived in Peterhof? Peterhof was founded as a country estate for Peter the Great, but developed into an exquisite royal residence following the tsar's visit to Versailles in 1717. Its main elements were laid out by 1723 and included the Lower Park, Upper Garden, Sea Channel and two small palaces - Monplaisir and the Marli Palace. Who built Peterhof? Image result The Baroque Grand Palace (1714–28) was designed by Domenico Trezzini and the palace's gardens by Alexandre Le Blond; Bartolomeo Rastrelli enlarged the structure in 1752. Peterhof subsequently became the most lavish and popular of the Russian royal summer residences.

Every sphere of work was connected, in his eyes, with evil and deception. Whatever he tried to be, whatever he engaged in, the evil and falsehood of it repulsed him and blocked every path of activity. Yet he had to live and to find occupation.

During his five years in Oslo, he had coined the term "orgone energy"—from "orgasm" and "organism"—for the notion of life energy. In 1940 he started building orgone accumulators, modified Faraday cages that he claimed were beneficial for cancer patients. He claimed that his laboratory cancer mice had had remarkable positive effects from being kept in a Faraday cage, so he built human-size versions, where one could sit inside. This led to newspaper stories about "sex boxes" that cured cancer.

Altruistic narcissist:
Narcissists only give gifts, information or affection as a way of creating a sense of obligation in their victims.

Altruistic narcissists view themselves as supreme caregivers. They base their inflated self-concept on this supposed 'ability'. Then they expect others to react to them as though they are the caring, generous, people they want to seem like. Beware the altruistic narcissist: "Accept my help...or else!"

Only when we have admitted the conception of the infinitely small, and the resulting geometrical progression with a common ratio of one tenth, and have found the sum of this progression to infinity, do we reach a solution of the problem.
War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy

The absurd answer (that Achilles could never overtake the tortoise) resulted from this: that motion was arbitrarily divided into discontinuous elements, whereas the motion both of Achilles and of the tortoise was continuous. By adopting smaller and smaller elements of motion we only approach a solution of the problem, but never reach it. Only when we have admitted the conception of the infinitely small, and the resulting geometrical progression with a common ratio of one tenth, and have found the sum of this progression to infinity, do we reach a solution of the problem. A modern branch of mathematics having achieved the art of dealing with the infinitely small can now yield solutions in other more complex problems of motion which used to appear insoluble. This modern branch of mathematics, unknown to the ancients, when dealing with problems of motion admits the conception of the infinitely small, and so conforms to the chief co https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2600/2600-h/2600-h.htm

You can feel like you can sweep in there and be that rescuer for them. It is big part of manipulation how they evoke that, and feel empowering that you can rescue them. Soon enough they will find examples how world left them down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW1zd-ePPoQ Alaska U 1 day ago My dad was like this across the board when I was growing up. Constant criticism, negativity, contemptuousness, blame-shifting to us kids, constantly disparaging, bitter victimhood, anger, moodiness, contrary, argumentative, paranoid...just an exhausting personality. After I was an adult my mom and I were discussing narcissism in general without realizing my dad could hear us. To our surprise he suddenly spoke up, saying, "Am I a narcissist?" I was startled but I didn't hesitate. I said kindly, "I guess you recognize some of your characteristics. But most people never recognize it or acknowledge it. The good thing is we can work on it." He was silent. I didn't push it, and he wrote me a note later that day saying I was the only one who had always been kind to him and cared about him. I could tell he was scared. The next time I talked with him I just kindly and matter-of-factly explained the causes and outcomes of narcissis

How to manage narcissist without getting lost in guilt? Radical acceptance, realistic expectations, gray rock, not engaging, not explaining, and not personalizing. Do not get pulled into their past being excuse for their current behaviour.

Any error is reasonable and every error can be justified and explained as valid. This means I can always be in the wrong - since someone might explain my reaction as wrong and their own wrongdoing as correct conduct.

 The Narcissist's Prayer:
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that wasn't a big deal.
And it it was, that's not my fault.
And it it was, I didn't mean it.
And it I did, you deserved it.

We have to expose the pain from our past. We can't keep secrets. Secrets are the death to us. And if you're keeping secrets about your pain, you are stuck in toxic shame and robbing yourself, everyone of your light.

 Shame sits in the realm of our shadow which is all the parts of ourselves that we can't bare to look at. That we don't want to accept. It means the consequences of our reactions from this place can reside outside of our awareness.

 This is not excuse to let our emotions went riot. Everything is contextual. Sometimes we need to keep them on a leash and do what needs to be done. Also we need to process and release stuck emotions fully.
