Nice title on the topic.. but.. oops.. the truth is that there is really not much secret to the KZ system. Formerly being a "teacher" of sorts, both in the hobbyist fields such as incense and other fun collectibles, and in the academic sphere, I'm a firm believer of education that will eventually need to become "open source", because we all are transient sentient beings, items, knowledge, understandings, we are always the temporal "keepers".

Sorry folks, Incense, directly, no matter ... [Read More...]
