'Sutu, the Aussie new media artist responsible for the Nawlz. His artwork is vibrant and original, mixing graffiti-esque with timeless sci-fi vibrations, and in the Nawlz, he brings that art to life on an interactive, layered canvas. The Flash-based experiment in storytelling centers on virtual realities and hallucinogenic drugs, with user interaction dictating the pace.'

THE NAWLZ

Interactive Graphic Novel

We’ll start out with the trippiest of the bunch: Makibishi Comic. Technically, it’s a Point n’ Click adventure game where you have to find five hidden ninjas, but the unusual eye candy and squeaky gibberish dialects are what really propel things on this freaky Manga trip. Created back in 2007 by Makibishi Studios (their company site is worth a look all by itself for strange points), they are supposedly rereleasing it this summer for the iphone.'

Etymology

earth

O.E. eorðe "ground, soil, dry land," also used (along with middangeard) for "the (material) world" (as opposed to the heavens or the underworld), from P.Gmc.*ertho (cf. O.N. jörð, M.Du. eerde, O.H.G. erda, Goth. airþa), from PIE base *er-. The earth considered as a planet was so called from c.1400. Earthy in the fig. sense of "coarse

, unrefined" is from 1594. Earthworm first attested 1591. Earthwork is from 1633. Earthlight apparently coined 1833 by British astronomer John Herschel.

Hinduism

In Hinduism, the universe or any particular division of it. The most comm

on division of the universe is the tri-loka, or three worlds (heaven, earth, and atmosphere, or heaven, world, and netherworld), each of which is divided into seven regions. Sometimes, instead of the tri-loka, 14 worlds are envisioned, seven above the earth and seven below. Whatever the division, it illustrates the basic Hindu concept of hierarchically ordered worlds

(Sanskrit; Pāli, world). The world or universe, in both a cosmological and psychological sense. In the former it is the habitat of gods and human beings, and in the latter all that can be known or experienced through the senses. In general, Buddhism reserves judgement on the ontological status of the external world: early Buddhism assumes the world is more or less as we experience it, while some later schools move in the direction of idealism (see Yogācāra). However, in Buddhist terms, the objective status of the world is of less importance than how one responds to it and whether one becomes enmeshed in its vanities. Loka is also used to refer to the three dhātus or cosmological realms (as kāma-dhātu, etc). See also cosmology.

Bhuloka: "Earth world."

The world perceived through the five senses, also called the gross plane, as it is the most dense of the worlds.

Sufism

The Huma (Persian: هما) is a legendary bird of Sufi fable that is said to never come to rest, living its entire life flying invisibly high above the earth, and never alighting on the ground (in some legends it is said to have no legs).^[2]

The word Huma which has a Persian origin is Bulah in Arabic.^[3] The Sufi teacher I

nayat Khan supposed that "in the word Huma, hu represents spirit, and the word mah originates from the Arabic "Ma'a" ماء which means water."^[4] In Turkic mythology, it is referred as bird of Kumay^[3] or Umay^[5] which was used as a symbol of Çepni, one of the 24 tribal organizations of Oghuz Turks. Umay is the goddess of fertility and virginity in Turkic mythology and Tengriism.^[3]

In some variations, the Huma bird is said to be phoenix-like, consumin

g itself in fire every few hundred years, only to rise anew from the ashes. The creature is often referred to as bird of paradise.^[3]^[6] The Huma bird is said to have both the male and

female natures in one body, each nature having one wing and one leg.

The Huma bird is considered to be a compassionate bird. It is named as bird of fortune^[3] since its shadow (or

touch) is said to be auspicious.^[7] The shadow (or the alighting) of the Huma bird on a person's head or shoulder were said to bestow (or foretell) kingship. Accordingly, the feathers decorating the turbans of kings were said to be plumage of the Huma bird.^[8] Sufi teacher Inayat Khan gives the bestowed-kingship legend a

spiritual dimension: "Its true meaning is that when a person's thoughts so evolve that they break all limitation, then he becomes as a king. It is the limitation of language that it can only describe the Most

High as something like a king."^[4]

In Sufi tradition, catching the Huma is even beyond the wildest imagination,

but catching a glimpse of it or even a shadow of it is sure to make one happy for the rest of his/her life. It is also believed that Huma cannot be caught alive, and the person killing a Huma will die in forty days.^[3
