Spells "At the Edge of the Wood"
There is a local store called the 'Edge of the Woods' but this nothing so official as a performance there.
'Burbarb' A possibly fake spell I learned from my mother for scrubbing countertops.
Take one longevity pill (just once) and wait for the effects to wear off. Then cast permanent rejuvenation and sing the Eternal Song.
Also, utter 'quicken feet' to rejuvenate legs.

Online Physics Courses
My Dad recommended I take one of these physics courses, but I have been reluctant.
Anyway, if someone feels like taking one of these courses, you can almost certainly learn more about physics, but not necessarily more about perpetual motion, than Nathan Coppedge.

The Rhyme of Immortal Time
What if I live to 102?
What if I live to 93?
What if I live to 111?
What if I live to 84?
What if I live to 64?
What if I live to 109?
What if I live to 102?
If one is rational and intuitive, the first age that repeats has some probability of being right!

1ST FULLY PROVEN PERPETUAL MOTION CONCEPT JULY 12, 2016
An encouraging telepathic conversation with someone I took for Edmund Scarpa led me to reconsider what is meant by functional PMM. The result was this very simple modular design, which I have great confidence completely works!!!

THE QUERIES OF IMMORTALITY (8 BEGINNING STAGES)
1. I have a principle of immortality.
2. Gods are not divine if they are not immortal.
3. A true philosopher is immortal, or a failure.
4. I can discover the secrets of the soul, metaphysics, omniscience!
5. Maybe it's only me: maybe only I am good.
6. But subjective immortality, if it is immortality, is not so bad...
7. Maybe I'm lost in the world.
8. The world passes away, maybe that is why.

What is the Best Way to Enjoy Life and be Successful at It?
My sense of the wisdom of how to live a good life is both tentative and absolute:
- Retract attachment to all people and things. You don’t want to be persuaded by mere opinions, as this will lead to confusion and bad feelings.
- Think about the good life. What is most worth doing? Can you do it? Is it difficult? How much work will it take?
- Develop a secure home base. Find an income that is reliable, even if it is very small. This may require convincing relatives that you are worth it, committing to a job, completing your education, or taking charity. Use your home base to create a reliable platform for success.
- Now, indulge your feelings about the good life without feeling regret. What are small things you can do to improve your life? What are you doing slightly wrong? What are dangers you can avoid? What would be most helpful? Can things just continue as they are? Are you being unrealistic? What can change? Have you found your center?
- Create more or less structure where necessary. Remain optimistic. Change will occur.
What you have to watch out for is that some people have achieved all these steps in high school. But relative success is still possible.

A Reply to Critics of Coherence Theory
There are objective-oriented theories of coherence as well, predominately in my own work. See: https://www.quora.com/What-is-categorical-deduction/answer/Nathan-Coppedge
You will also find that Wikipedia on coherence does not support the idea that it concerns subjectivity or relativism.
The real question is, ironically, whether coherentism has a rational foundation without an empirical one, which is one reason I agree with the older notion that coherentism is opposed to correspondence theory rather than foundationalism.
Recently, correspondence theory has been dominating in academia for strange reasons, and people are beginning to assume that coherentism is a form of correspondence theory. But that is not very true.
My theory relies on the idea of exclusive categories that are accurate relative to the ability to construct knowledge. This is not relativism in any traditional sense.

Quotes Early July 2016
"The best explanation I have found for mental health disabilities is that they may be (or may not be) rhetorically justified." ---Nathan Coppedge
"If we are not creative, we will not get a good world, and yet creativity occurs without judgment." ---Nathan Coppedge
"I’m not sure there is a satisfying answer while we are unsatisfied. After all, only satisfaction is satisfying, just as only the quality of decisiveness is decisive. I call this relative absoluteness." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Paradoxical realism is the beginning of absolute realism." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Making people depressed should be the most elaborate thing, according to idealists, but the alternative suggests simple ways of coping." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Divination is like the evolution of sacrifice." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Sometimes I believe in artificial artificiality: every substance is plastic, so nothing is plastic. This seems to be one key to the fourth dimension: a universal standard of miscellaneous meaningful substances."
"Much of progress is catch-up from a different perspective" ---Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients
"To die might be to live, if to die is to die! While I die I am dead." --- Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients
"History withholds ALL of its secrets, except those designed for the present time."---Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients
"If we do not argue that rationalism falls into coherent and incoherent categories, we are forced to adopt a non-relativist position, because we cannot argue for absolute (coherent) relativism, or subjective (incoherent) relativism. But, both coherence and incoherence render relativism in a trivial form. In coherence, relativism must be universal, contradicting multiplicity, and therefore existing in the form of measurement. Incoherence also measures relativism, although through irrationality. Thus, both uacceptable forms of relativism consider it to be merely a form of measurement. Now the extension of relativism requires the extension of relativism's triviality, and this leads to no assumption of relativism in any major systematic category. The conclusion is that relativism is trivial."

Nathan Coppedge (Personality: INfP-a)
I was concerned that my personality was changing recently. But, as it turns out, when I took the test again, I tested again as strongly introverted, even more intuitive than before, and even more prospecting / perceptive than before, and once again my feeling is almost tied with thinking. So, not much change there, just more of the same! (I may add, however, that the test asked me to exaggerate some of my responses on a 7-point scale, which means that essentially I must have answered the questions in the exact same way as before...):
