Hoje eu sei (por Monja Coen)

Hoje eu sei que a compaixão é capaz de transformar o mundo e transformar o ser.

Hoje eu sei que a compaixão pode ser desenvolvida, cultivada; que as áreas do cérebro responsáveis pela compaixão podem ser estimuladas.

Hoje eu sei que é possível "musculação de neurônios" através da meditação e do pensamento amoroso, terno, inclusivo, compreensivo e sábio.

Hoje eu sei que Buda se manifesta em cada ser que se entrega à bondade e… Continue

Who I Am Makes A Difference

Imagine kids and adults growing up in a community where all people are built up, encouraged to live their dreams and are passionate about making the world a better place.

Helice "The Spark" Bridges had this dream and dedicated her life to finding a way for all people to feel appreciated, respected and loved so that they would know that Who They Are Makes A Difference.

In 1980, at the age of 38, Helice "Sparky" Bridges, co-chair of the San Diego Hunger Project, discovered… Continue

"Who you are makes a difference"

"Who you are makes a difference"

A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in High School by telling them the difference each of them had made. She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First, she told each of them how they had made a difference to her, and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon, imprinted with gold letters, which read, "Who I Am Makes a Difference."

Afterwards, the teacher decided to do a… Continue

Peace, love, & success are all a state of being and mind

I just returned home to Wisconsin early Sunday morning from the beautiful Bahamas. In my heart, mind, and soul I know that I attracted this wonderful experience into my life because I have opened myself up to change. Not only did I find my "calling" and "purpose" in life but I also met a wonderful man who just may be my future partner in life! Life is beautiful. Because I expected everything to go smoothly, it did. Because I know people are good, that is what I saw. Whether it was strangers… Continue

hurt, apology, forgiveness

LIFE GOAL

if our life goal is to lead a proud,

productive and successful life,

and minimize regrets at the

moment of our passing,

then

love, balance, tolerance,

honesty, forgiveness,

and patience are tools

we need.

HURT

a hurt upsets our

moral balance.

it places a burden

on the receptor, the person hurt,

and on

the instigator, the person causing the hurt.

it IS regardless of

The Sexual Cycle

in the beginning was potential

dark and cold, permeated with inward focus

then warmth slowly suffused

potential awakened, began to swell

then wrinkling moisture saturated

close nutrients turned on and flowed in

and pressure built and built

birth began through a tiny crack

a tender pale arm appeared

driven by the resultant pressure

of rapid multiplying… Continue

Our Love Ages

I, your impecunious cantankerous lummox hold the belief

that aimless ambivalence is the unsanctioned thief

of time’s tortuous thoughtless tole

on both our bodies and our souls

as we teeter on the derogatory precipice

of an age-worn, second-hand appearance

as salubrious nourishment consumption is no longer

clearly making us energetic and stronger

as my lucid cogitation is frequently… Continue

Prática da sabedoria

Como fazer de nossa vida uma corporificação da sabedoria e compaixão é o grande desafio com que pessoas na busca espiritual se deparam. As verdades que acabamos compreendendo precisam ter expressão visível em nossas vidas. Cada pensamento, palavra e ação contém o potencial de ser uma expressão viva da claridade e do amor.

Não basta ser um possuidor da sabedoria — acreditar que guardamos a verdade é tornar-se o oposto disso: é um caminho… Continue

Safe Haven law in Nebraska - Just thought this was kind of interesting.

So, apparently in Nebraska a parent can leave their child at any hospital under their safe haven law. Even if the child is a teenager.

2nd out-of-state teen dropped at Omaha hospital

By JOSH FUNK – 6 days ago

"OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Michigan mother drove roughly 12 hours to Omaha so she could abandon her 13-year-old son at a hospital under the state's unique safe-haven law, Nebraska officials said Monday.

The boy from the Detroit area is the… Continue

Greetings

Greetings everyone! I am so happy to be, at last amongst peaceful people. You see, I live in Cleveland, Ohio is the poorest neighborhood where gangland warfare, political corruption and abominable "killer drivers" abound. There is very little peace here unless you find it inside.

I am a simple person. I am 56 and married to a physically and mentally disabled man - for 15 years. I knew about his problems when I met him and his prognosis was 3 years when we met. We are 12 years past… Continue

Peace Trains

The song peace train inspired me to write. The world is very vulnerable right now: it is about to change...and I think for the better. With the elections in the U.S. coming up (early voting starts tomorrow), we will see in what direction this country will be taken. I would like to just say that I do not support John McCain solely because he intends to keep the troops in Iraq until "the job is done."

A poll taken by America Online predicted John McCain as the winner by "a little bit." I do… Continue

RomAmor and Schrodinger's Cat

RomAmor and Schrödinger’s Cat

And my soul already had been here… Long ago with full pride living with my real love, too.

Only I did not realize it before−before I arrived in Rome−Roma, I should say. It was exactly how Schrödinger said it in his famous quantum experiment: “Unless we open the box, we won’t be able to know if the cat is dead or alive. Unless we open the box, there exists two truths: The cat is dead and the cat is alive!” How poor we all were as humans, not to… Continue

Seven Steps for Overcoming Ego’s Hold on You

Seven Steps for Overcoming Ego’s Hold on You

A message from Wayne W. Dyer

Sunday, 19 October, 2008

Here are seven suggestions to help you transcend ingrained ideas of self-importance. All of these are designed to help prevent you from falsely identifying with the self-important ego.

1. Stop being offended.

The behavior of others isn’t a reason to be immobilized. That which offends you only weakens you. If you’re looking for occasions to be… Continue

The Evils of Computers

I am beset, recently, by the travails presented by our technological world. My computer, faithful friend for these past three and a half years, has been locking whenever I access websites such as iPeace. It seems I no longer have the memory (RAM type) to handle the rapidly changing displays, the advertisements, the messages, etc. that appear with increasing frequency. All of these visuals are very beautiful -- great layout, great content -- but they are more than my old buddy can accommodate.… Continue
