Police backtrack on whether fatal stabbings of college students were targeted
FILE - Two people place flowers at a growing memorial in front of a campus entrance sign for the University of Idaho on Nov. 16, 2022, in Moscow, Idaho.
Authorities in Idaho are backtracking on a key piece of information in the investigation of four college students who were murdered.
The Moscow Police Department now says they don't know whether any of the University of Idaho victims were specifically targeted.
"We have spoken with the Latah County Prosecutor's Office and identified this was a miscommunication," the Moscow Police Department.
Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death at an off-campus house on Nov. 13. Police had been saying they believed the incident was isolated and "targeted" since Nov. 15, CNN reported.
Investigators have said the victims were all stabbed multiple times in their sleep. None of them were sexually assaulted, police stated.
A vigil was held for the victims Wednesday night.
"I want to remind you that is the most important message we have for you and your families, is to make sure you spend as much time as possible with those people because time is precious and it's something you can't get back," said Ethan's mother, Stacy Chapin.


Though not without a certain charm, Enzo Ferrari, in his career as a builder of race and road cars, certainly upset one or two people; his arrogance, determination, and an ability to manipulate those around him inevitability resulted in a few falling outs.
Many foreheads wore his boot print and his ruthlessness in ascending the greasy pole of motorsport dominance – while simultaneously creating a dynasty of roadgoing sports and GT cars that defined the parameters of the 'exotic' automobile – meant he was not a man to be crossed.
The price of success was a high rate of attrition among his staff, annoyed customers and a long list of would-be rivals among ex-staff or other owners, who were either envious of his success or out for simple revenge.
Yet, with two or three notable exceptions, few of the vehicles that emerged from this febrile atmosphere of Machiavellian intrigue ever challenged the dominance of his cars; though pig-headed and set in his ways, Mr Ferrari had an annoying habit of being right!

Pentagon pushes NATO for more troops to help maintain security in Iraq
Plan could be scuttled if new ruling coalition in Baghdad seeks to push allied forces out of country

By Carlo Muñoz - The Washington Times - Tuesday, May 29, 2018
The Pentagon is working behind-the-scenes on a plan to get NATO allies to play a far more significant, boots-on-the-ground role in maintaining security in Iraq as the U.S. military revamps its anti-Islamic State mission into a longer-term stabilization campaign.
Pentagon sources have told The Washington Times that Defense Secretary James N. Mattis intends to present the plan at a NATO meeting in Brussels next month, calling for a larger number of troops from the alliance to support the new mission.
U.S. officials say the overhaul, which has not yet been made public, would reshape the Iraq mission into a longer-term, more advisory and more multinational campaign akin to current American-led operations in Afghanistan, with a central focus on further bolstering Iraq's own security forces.
While details, including the potentially increased NATO role, are still being hammered out by senior strategists around Mr. Mattis, several officials told The Times that the goal will be to ensure Iraqi troops have the heft and training needed to battle back remaining elements of the terror group known as the Islamic State, as well as other extremists seeking to gain a future foothold in Iraq.
Pentagon officials and their State Department counterparts heading up the counter-Islamic State coalition led by Washington are coordinating ahead of Mr. Mattis' impending visit to the NATO headquarters, according to one Trump administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Inside the Defense Department, sources say the proposed changes to the Iraq mission are neither a response to a worsening situation on the ground, nor an indication that Islamic State elements there or in neighboring Syria are poised for a resurgence.
Rather, officials told The Times that the changes represent the next step in the evolving U.S. mission in Iraq and, if adopted by Washington's NATO allies, could extend the overall American mission there for the foreseeable future.
The officials, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mr. Mattis' proposal likely will not call for an increase of U.S. troops numbers in Iraq. Alternatively, said one of the officials, the more multinational military advisory operation would be based on a the deployment of a larger contingency of troops from other NATO member nations.
If the defense secretary is able bring such a development to the fore, it would be reflective of President Trump's wider effort to lessen the U.S. military footprint in Iraq and Syria, while simultaneously prodding NATO members to increase their military contributions to ongoing operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere across the globe.
It is not yet clear how many alliance member troops the Trump administration will request from NATO, nor from which specific countries the troops may drawn.
Modeled after Afghan mission
There are presently 38 countries from around the world contributing roughly 6,500 troops to the current NATO-run advisory mission in Afghanistan dubbed Operation Resolute Support.
The forces back up some 8,000 U.S. service members who've been on the ground in Afghanistan since the end of full-fledged combat operations there in 2014.
The dynamics are different in Iraq, where the current U.S.-led global coalition to defeat the Islamic State involves contributions of one kind or another from some 75 nations, including from NATO members such as France, Germany, Italy and Turkey, as well as from non-NATO nations such as Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon, Taiwan and South Korea.
Roughly 23 nations, including the U.S., have deployed a total of 9,000 troops to support combat operations against the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria — known as Operation Inherent Resolve — according to a State Department fact sheet.
However, the majority of the troops are American, with only limited deployments from the other coalition partners, including those who are NATO members.
The Pentagon has said some 5,000 U.S. service members are currently deployed to battle the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, with the majority stationed in Iraq. The United Kingdom has contributed just over 600 troops.
The effort to push other NATO members to deploy more fits with Mr. Trump's call for the alliance to share more of the burden of military coalition efforts worldwide.
On the campaign trail in 2016, Mr. Trump famously bandied the notion that the U.S. could pull out of the Cold War-era alliance if partner nations did not meet the 2 percent investment goal of their country's gross domestic product into alliance coffers.
In February, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said only half of the 29-nation NATO alliance is on track to meet the two-percent investment goal, with just 15 alliance members expected to reach it by 2024.
Baghdad blowback?
While debate over NATO financial commitments hangs in the backdrop, the whole Pentagon plan for a revamped and multinational force in Iraq could be scuttled if the new ruling government coalition in Baghdad attempts to push U.S. and allied forces out of the country in the near term.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's government has thus far supported American-led efforts to maintain a continued military presence, to bolster the country's security forces.
Regional observers argue the full American withdrawal from the country in 2011 was premature and left the Iraqi forces unprepared for what became an onslaught by the Islamic State, which cut a swath of territory from western Syria through northern Iraq in 2014.
But the surprise parliamentary election victory in Iraq this month of a political bloc led by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has raised doubts around the Abadi government's ability to secure the necessary agreements to allow U.S. and NATO forces to remain in the country this time around.
Mr. Sadr, who built his reputation inside Iraq by leading the Shiite Mahdi Army in a years-long conflict with American forces in the mid-2000s, has repeatedly called for the full withdrawal of western forces now that the campaign to defeat the Islamic State is all but complete.
During his recent campaign, Mr. Sadr reportedly said American and allied troops could become targets of Shiite paramilitary groups if they remain in the country.
The Trump administration is believed to have opened a communications back-channel to Mr. Sadr and his top aides to probe the cleric's position toward the prospect of a long-term U.S. military presence.

본 연구는 대학생활스트레스와 정신건강의 영향관계에서 체질집단 간 차이가 있는지 탐색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 대학생 389명을 조사대상자로 선정하였고, QSCC II를 활용하여 사상체질 유형을 구분하였으며(소음인 136명, 소양인 139명, 태음인 114명), 사상체질집단 간 유의미한 영향관계 차이를 분석하기 위하여 구조방정식을 활용한 다집단분석을 실시하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 대학생활스트레스와 정신건강의 영향관계에 있어 소음인집단-소양인 집단 간 그리고 소양인집단-태음인집단 간에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 도출되었다. 소양인보다는 소음인과 태음인으로 분류된 대학생들에게 스트레스 및 정신건강에 대한 보다 더 많은 지원과 개입이 이루어져야 함이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 사상체질에 적합한 차별화된 중재방안을 제시하였다.

Enoch Powell used to joke that a particularly idiotic political proposition was enough to make a cat laugh.
Well after Monday night's predictable but risible benefits counter-offensive by the mangy fur coats of the House of Lords, tabbies up and down the land will be in hysterics tonight.
Their lordships (a motley crew of palace-dwelling bishops, extinct Labour volcanoes left over from some ancient class war battle, guilt-ridden upper class Lib Dems like Paddy 'oh so pious' Ashdown, and no doubt a few wringing wet Tories) decided that those hard-faced Commoners led by Cameron and Osborne were too harsh. Tory-led Ministers had sought to insist that no stay-in-bed family should get more in benefits than the average household receives in wages by getting up every morning, slogging through the commute and working for a living.
By a narrow margin, these ermine-clad, superannuated fools voted to exempt about a third of the 67,000 families in the frame for the Government squeeze – and so deny the taxpayer about a third of the potential £270 million saving, chicken-feed when you set it against the £200 billion benefits bill (about £7000 per family per year in taxes for those who deign to go out to work).
Of course, Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Cameron and Co will bring the Lords amendment back to the Commons and chuck it out pronto.
But that is not quite the point.
Can there be any country on the planet where the idea that workless households should be paid as much as the average working family (£35,000 a year) would not be regarded as utterly risible?
Powell would be plucking out the cat's whiskers at such a suggestion. And as for the founder of the welfare state, Sir William Beveridge, who thought he was creating a safety net for those who had temporarily fallen on hard times, he would have thought the world had gone mad.
There are still lots of apparently sane people (e.g. Paddy 'Pantsdown', assorted bishops and Labour timeservers) who think that if you decide to have six kids, sideline the father(s), invent an array of baffling medical complications for you and the tribe, and hire some amoral human rights/benefit lawyers, you can take over a mansion on Park Lane, claim the earth in handouts, and live happily ever after.
Hilariously, some of those who actually screw the system like this cannot see they are doing anything wrong – cue those mothers on BBC news programmes who brazenly defend their right to milk the system ad infinitum.
Prime Minister's Questions later this week should be fun. Red Ed knows that 76 per cent of all voters are fed up with what IDS called the 'slackers' earlier this week. They want benefits capped. Among Labour supporters, the number is 69 per cent.
So is Ed really going to accuse Dave of grinding the faces of the poor into the dust? Will he really back the hand-wringing, over-privileged, sanctimonious set in the Lords and demand that child benefit be excluded from the cap? I doubt it.
Ed knows that if he really wants his ratings to go seriously south, all he has to do is line up with the BBC's 'Thought for the Day' lefty vicar brigade and gloss over the fact that this country is broke and cannot afford to hand out mansions to benefit claimants.
IDS and his ministerial colleagues will recognise this is a temporary setback, over-ride the unelected chamber in the Commons and change the law again. In this game of parliamentary ping-pong the Commons will prevail, though some of us might wind up thinking Nick Clegg has a point when he talks of an elected Upper House.
But for those who think that the age of austerity has only just begun, and that we are going to have to make far greater savings in the next five years, the Lord's vote was a chilling reminder that the ruling class has still not woken up to the scale of the task ahead.

If your doctor tells you this quote from the 2008, 1,319 page, 4th edition of RAJ'S PRACTICAL MANAGEMENT OF PAIN, devoting a fifteen page section on FM. From the first two paragraphs in the subsection, Pathogenesis, we find, "The cause of FM is still unknown. Theories regarding its cause have undergone a gradual transition from a psychiatric process, as some still view it, to a muscle disorder, as currently classified in the Medline Index, to a genetically determined central nervous system disorder of chronic widespread allodynia, neuro-endocrine function, and cytokine participation, as it should now be considered. The situation with FMS has changed dramatically in just a few years of concentrated research. Where FMS patients were often viewed as healthy complainers, without any real abnormalities, or considered to be depressed somatizers, the psychiatric model is no longer adequate. Abnormalities in neuro-chemical mediators of central nervous system nociceptive function are clearly present in ways consistent with the patterns of symptoms."
Interesting article in trade magazine for GPs on managing fibromyalgia. It may also be useful tool to use to discuss your illness with your GP.

So what's to be done? How do you pick your way through this mine of information?
How do make sure you are doing what's right for you?
Knowing the following facts will help you feel in control of what happens to you.
Fibromyalgia is not a life-ending condition, although its symptoms are life-changing.
Although it is a chronic condition, Fibromyalgia can be managed successfully.
This management requires your total active involvement in the process, but nobody can tell you how long the improvement in managing your symptoms will take, so time limits and predictions are unrealistic and unhelpful.
As everyone reacts differently to medication, it is important to investigate all options and feel equal in discussions with your GP on moving forward or trying medication and/or therapies. You need to work together to sort out your health issues.
Believing that 'someone else knows what's best for you' may lead to disappointment and frustration, as well as a sense of disempowerment. You know what's right for you.
You have choices at every turn, and it's never too late to change or to move forward in a different way than previously.
Many people live and work successfully while managing Fibromyalgia using statutory support and employment law to good effect.
Letting go of non-essential work, and unnecessary pressure of any kind can be helpful, but your circumstances are particular to you, and your life is your own, so the decisions are yours.

While Microsoft was trying to win back skeptical gamers, Sony played to the crowd in its Gamescom presentation, which included several reveals about the new PlayStation 4, including its launch date (Nov. 14). Sony worldwide president Andrew House couldn't resist taking a few shots at the Microsoft, noting some companies "have shifted their message and changed their story."
Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI) and Spotify are partnering on a PlayStation Music global service that will be launched this spring, available on Sony's game consoles, as well as Xperia smartphones and tablets.
The platform will offer more than 30 million songs to the 64 million users of the PlayStation Network (PSN) in 41 countries. The plans for the service in Japan have yet to be finalized.
"This partnership represents the best in music and the best in gaming coming together," said Andrew House, president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEI). "We're thrilled to make Spotify the foundation of our strategy with PlayStation Music."
Sony identified music streaming as a source of growth at its investor days in November.

PSN users will be able to link their accounts with Spotify and use them to subscribe to its premium service.
"As a gamer and PlayStation 4 user myself, I'm super excited to be able to soundtrack my FIFA 15 Arsenal matches later this spring," said Daniel Ek, Spotify CEO and founder, referring to the function that will allow users to choose music for their gaming sessions.
SNEI and SCEI also announced that the Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited services will be brought under the PSN umbrella and rebranded as PS Video and PS Music, part of an attempt to create a unified entertainment brand around PlayStation consoles.
"We are very excited to offer our wide array of network services including games, TV, videos and music, under the PlayStation brand," House said.
Sony has been working for years to create better synergies between its wide-ranging businesses as it struggles to return to consistent profitability. The entertainment to electronics conglomerate Tuesday announced another round of job cuts; this time 1,000 positions at its mobile phone operations in Asia and Europe.
Sony will release provisional third-quarter results on Feb. 3 after the cyber-attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment prevented it from delivering its final figures on time.

"Hot rolls" cause many static complaints. Winding a polymer web with static creates a hot roll that can cause problems when the roll is unwound in the next operation. Neutralizing static when unwinding a hot roll is difficult and almost always ineffective. So, what can be done?
Solve the problem at its source. Eliminate hot rolls by neutralizing static on the web before winding the roll. To identify sources of static, use an electrostatic fieldmeter to take readings on spans midway between conveyance rollers after each major process.
For example, sources of static in a blown film extruder are identified in Figure 1 by taking eight fieldmeter readings. Note that all readings are taken before any static neutralizers are added to the line.
1. Extruder | Blown film lines have a circular extruder that creates a cylindrical film tube. Fieldmeter reading EEXT is taken on the cylindrical tube just after exiting the extruder: EEXT ~ 0 KV/cm. Molten polymers typically have a small amount of electrical conductivity that dissipates static from the mixing and extrusion process. So, extruders usually are not a significant source of static charge.
2. Haul-Off Nip | The haul-off nip compresses the cylindrical tube into a two-layer web. The nip is usually a movable polymer roller pressed against a fixed metal roller. The haul-off nip isolates the lower tension in the hot cylindrical tube exiting the extruder from the higher tension used to convey the cool compressed tube. Fieldmeter reading EHO NIP is taken on a span midway between conveyance roller just after the haul-off nip; EHO NIP ~ -4 KV/cm. The polymer nip roller deposits negative charge on the tube. An ionizing string or static bar should be positioned just after the haul-off nip to neutralize static on the surface that touched the polymer nip roller.
3. Corona Discharge Treatment | Corona discharge treatment (CDT) promotes wettability and adhesion. In this example, only one side of the compressed tube is treated. Fieldmeter reading ECDT is taken on a span midway between conveyance rollers just after the CDT unit; ECDT ~ +6 KV/cm. CDT units deposit high levels of static charge on webs. Here, the compressed tube enters the CDT with negative charge from the haul-off nip, so the CDT adds a high level of positive static. Locate an ionizing string or static bar just after the CDT unit to neutralize static on the treated surface. Static must be neutralized before the backside or untreated surface touches a roller.
4. Tension Isolation Nip | The tension isolation nip controls the web just before the edges of the tube are cut so that the tube may be split into two webs. The nip is usually a movable polymer roller pressed against a fixed metal roller. Fieldmeter reading ETI NIP is taken on a span midway between conveyance rollers just after the tension isolation nip: ETI NIP ~ +3 KV/cm. Here, the fieldmeter reading on the compressed tube exiting the CDT reads +6 KV/cm, so the polymer nip roller adds negative static. An ionizing string or static bar should be positioned just after the nip to neutralize static on the surface that touched the polymer nip roller.
5. Edge Trim and Web Split | In blown film lines, the edges of the compressed tube are trimmed so that the tube may be separated into two webs. Fieldmeter readings ETRIM1 and ETRIM2 are taken on spans midway between conveyance rollers just after the tube is split into two webs: ETRIM 1 ~ +10 KV/cm, ETRIM 2 ~ -7 KV/cm. Splitting the tube into two webs is not a significant source of static. Rather, splitting the tube reveals charge on the exterior surfaces of the tube. The high positive charge on web 1 came from the corona discharge treatment. The negative static on web 2 is from the nip rollers. An ionizing string or static bar should be positioned on each of the two webs just after the split to neutralize static on the formerly exterior surfaces of the tube.
6. Winder Nips | The winder nip isolates the winding tension from the web conveyance tension. The nip is usually a movable polymer roller pressed against a fixed metal roller. Fieldmeter readings EW NIP1 and EW NIP2 are taken on spans midway between conveyance rollers just after the winder nips: EW NIP1 ~ +8 KV/cm, EW NIP2 ~ -9 KV/cm. Ionizing strings or static bars should be positioned just after the nips to neutralize static on the surfaces that touched the polymer nip rollers.
7. Winders | Prior to installing static neutralizers, web 1 is wound with high positive static and web 2 is wound with high negative static. Hot rolls are wound on both winders. However, after installing neutralizers, both webs are nearly neutral when wound and no hot rolls are produced.
Hot rolls cause static problems when they are unwound. Neutralizing static when unwinding a hot roll is difficult. The best strategy is to neutralize static at the source of charging before winding the roll. Use an electrostatic fieldmeter to find sources of charging and neutralize the charge with an ionizing string or a static bar.

Yājñavalkya's Cult of Personality and the Change it Provoked in Vedic Society
October 24, 2016 Genny Priest
Yājñavalkya is one of the most memorable characters in Vedic literature, known not only for his wit, insolence and intimidation – he nearly purloined one thousand cows from a group of renowned brahmins just before shattering the head of one of them –, but also for the profundity and newness of his thought.
In two Vedic texts, the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa (ŚB) and the Bŗhadāraņyaka Upaniṣad (BU), Yājñavalkya innovated thinking in a society dominated by complex ritual action as his character introduced new, esoteric ideas like karma and atman. This article will consider where these ideas may have come from, before examining the ways in which Yājñavalkya formulated and legitimized change, contesting established tradition of the time.
In doing so, Yājñavalkya – or, if he was not an actual historical figure, then at least the author of the ŚB and the BU – subordinated the dominant ritual practice of the time to religious speculation and belief, setting the stage for classical Indian philosophy as we now know it.
Vedic Society's Sacrificial Setting
The Vedas are a wide corpus of sacred texts composed orally and produced by Sanskrit-speaking Brahmins in the South Asian subcontinent between approximately 1600 and 600 BCE. Their main aim was to present, justify and explain ritual practice (Proferes, 27). What started as a relatively simple set of domestic rituals set around a sacred fire, grew into a much more elaborate series of ritual sacrifices performed around several fires by a number of priests, each with their own expertise, be it sacrificial action, singing, or recitation.
That is not to say that early Vedic society was devoid of an imperative seeking understanding of human nature and existence; we just have little direct textual or archeological evidence relating to religion outside of ritual practice in the period after the Indus Valley Civilization (that ended around 1900 BCE) up until 500 BCE. In the absence of such evidence, one can safely assume at the very least that no premium was placed upon such philosophical consideration.
It's not until the early Upanișads that we have evidence of the kind of religious speculation that begins to supersede ritual practice. But what is the source of these ideas? It is the subject of vigorous debate, and scholars have generally argued one of three theories: First, that Vedic ritual itself served as a catalyst for early Indian intellectual thinking. Second, that an external influence came into play, but probably not from Buddhism or Jainism, as it's generally agreed that the early Upanișads pre-dated the lives of the founders Buddha and Mahavira. And finally, as Bronkhorst controversially theorized in Greater Magadha, that there was a common third tradition that influenced both the brahmanical and śramaṇic (Buddhist, Jain and Ajivika) traditions.
I would argue that a shared Indo-Aryan language, establishing trade routes and a desire on the part of Brahmin priests to convert populations resulted in a slow cross-pollination of ideas as Brahmins moved eastward from the Central Gangetic region to the Kuru- Pañcāla and Videha (where we see Yājñavalkya become a figure of the East in his debates with priest and dialogues with kings.) Cultures would have unavoidably been exchanged, mixed and absorbed into each other, resulting in these new ideas that the Yājñavalkya of the BU – and to a lesser extent the ŚB, where he is primarily portrayed as a ritualist – deliberated upon. It's important to remember that these texts were unlikely to have been composed as units at one particular time; rather, they were often compilations of material that blended together over centuries so influencing through would have been ongoing.
Yājñavalkya's Audacity
Yājñavalkya's character, for me, comes most alive in the third chapter of the BU where he outwits eight Kuru-Pañcāla brahmin opponents in a courtly competition sponsored by Yājñavalkya's patron, King Janaka of Videha, to determine who is the most learned priest. Yājñavalkya displays contempt for the Kuru-Pañcāla brahmins – and by extension their ritualistic ideology – by declaring himself the winner of the debate before it even begins, as he audaciously instructs his pupil to just go take the prize of a thousand cows with ten pieces of gold tied around their horns (BU 3.1.1-2). By claiming to be the most knowledgeable, Yājñavalkya puts himself in the position of then having to defend himself as the priests grill him on the cosmos, the nature of death (BU 3.2.11-13) and the immortality of the Self (BU 3.7.16-23).
It is here (BU 3.2.13) that we first come upon – albeit in a frustratingly vague manner – one of Indian religion's most famous concepts: Karma. The priest Ārtabhāga asks Yājñavalkya what happens to a man when he dies, and our Upanisadic hero cryptically tells his interrogator that the question cannot be answered in public. Black argues the reluctance to share his knowledge in public is one of Yājñavalkya's debating tactics (Black, 76), but to what end? To throw him off balance by pulling him to the side? Rather, I would offer that Yājñavalkya might be taking pity on the wider Brahmin community as they might not be ready to understand that the possibility of rebirth as "a man turns into something good by good action, and into something bad by bad action" (BU 3.2.13), especially when they consider that that action (which provides direction after death) might not be ritual action but rather individual action. So I read Ārtabhāga's falling silent not so much a reflection of his defeat but of astonishment.
Yājñavalkya goes on to outthink even more brahmanical opponents, his last exchange with poor Śākalya, whose head is shattered apart (BU 3.9.26) when he cannot answer the one and only question Yājñavalkya poses in the entire debate. Does the resounding victory of Yājñavalkya, a figure of the east, serve as literary device symbolizing the triumph of eastern thinking (newer, Upanishadic ideals) over west (orthodox opinions about ritual)? I believe that is the agenda of the BU authors here.
We even see Yājñavalkya – and by extension his ideas – elevated above the status of a king when in (BU 4.2.1) King Janaka physically steps down from his throne to pay homage to the winner of the philosophical tournament in what could be seen as a metaphor for the abdication of his authority in sublimation of Yājñavalkya's superiority.
We receive more instruction on karma in the ensuing dialogue between Yājñavalkya and Janaka and learn that man's actions are what create him, and that man is not who he is until he acts. And how does he act? Out of desire, Yājñavalkya tells Janaka: "A person here consists simply of desire. A man resolves in accordance with his desire, acts in accordance with his resolve, and turns out to be in accordance with his action" (BU 4.4.5). It is only when man changes his relationship with his desires that he becomes immortal, or escapes rebirth and "attains brahman." (BU 4.4.7.) And yet, Yājñavalkya tells Janaka, the accumulation of good action does not necessarily make a person better, or indeed worse by bad action (BU 4.4.23). Action falls under the control of the individual, which is not the same as ātman, as the self "passes across" both good action and bad: "(This self) is not burnt by anything that he has done or left undone." (BU 4.4.23.)
Furthermore when one gives up desire (for sons, for wealth, for conquering land) one is able to see the self, and in the BU this knowledge of identity is framed in terms of power – "he is the lord of all!" (BU 4.4.22). And how to see and know the self? Through the apophatic process neti neti (not this, not that.) Yājñavalkya says, "He is ungraspable, for he cannot be grasped. He is undecaying, for he is not subject to decay. He has nothing sticking to him, for he does not stick to anything. He is not bound; yet he neither trembles in fear nor suffers injury." (BU 4.4.22)
Yājñavalkya eventually gives up court and household life, becoming, according to Witzel, one of the very first people in Vedic literature to leave mundane concerns behind him and become a mendicant. So we have Yājñavalkya not just as a Vedic priest, a teacher and a philosopher but also as a mystic, a householder and a saṃnyāsin. But Witzel cautions against seeing him as separate parts, which in effect compartmentalizes our hero: "We … have to treat all available passages as describing the whole person." (Witzel, 106)
It's not just the roles he inhabits, but also his personality traits – flashing temper, dry wit and biting sarcasm – that make Yājñavalkya so real. He is uniquely human having ordinary conversations on action, desire and identity with real kings, priests and wives. Such a literary device serves to magnify, aggrandize and legitimize his ideas – a deliberate strategy, I would argue, on the part of the Upanișadic authors to oppose, critique and ultimately move away from the world of gods and celestial beings that we saw in the Brāhmaṅas.
And so Yājñavalkya opens the door to an era of dynamic change in Ancient India, leading to a new orientation toward the self and the process of life and death.
