About the Election in America: How Does the Outcome Effect Peace?

Today, I am excited because I know I am a part of history. In America, today we were able to exercise our God given right-- that of voting. If Obama wins he will be noted as America’s first African-American President and I shall be most happy! If McCain wins, I will congratulate the spirit of his come back, as this type of spirit is rooted in the souls of Americans but I shall also be sad for America and Americans. These past eight years have been, if I may paraphrase from Charles Dickens, “the… Continue

A Thought or Vision

I awoke with a thought, a fleeting glimpse of knowledge, a parcel of Light enveloped in the course of shadows.

And it left me wondering.....did Gandhi, Aristotle or John Lennon experience such overstanding's in their lives? Did Miss V, my paralleled LightHouse have the same experience today?

The knowledge was very simplified in it's context.

"When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom,"LET IT BE""

To-Day's The Day

That's right. It's Election Day in these fifty United States, plus Puerto Rico and the various territories associated with the US.

So, if you're eligible to vote, and haven't already done so, especially in those parts of the US like my home state of Nevada, where one can vote early(which I did on Thursday last), go do it to-day.

Don't procrastinate about this. MAKE the time and take the trouble to vote, because of the importance of this particular election's out-come to… Continue

Time

"Time waits for no man," goes the old saying. Yet when we think of time, we set ourselves in motion, that is to say, we set time into motion; it could be fragmented, nevertheless, it is moving. This is why we often have the impression that time is moving very fast. The more we think about it, the faster it seems to move. This article was begun several minutes ago, which is now the past, you will read it in my future, yet right now, in the present, these words are being written. It is said that… Continue

November is Remembrance Month

I have always considered the month of November as Remembrance month. We are reminded to reflect on the past with its success and failures, to remember holy persons both living and dead, and on our own personal projects of the past year. It is a time of inner introspection, and what better moment than when the leaves are falling, a temporal reminder that all things change, that mortality is part of the life process and that immortality belongs only to those persons and things that have passed on… Continue

Comfort in this journey

Simply this and simply that. Why the scientfic agendas, to solve are relation to something that weve had all along

so theres no reason to get back. Search inside, and uncover that true gold gem inside. Reach to a friend, a simple smile will suffice. Going around for others the love shall go

Swirling around the earth our peace shall go. Hide here in peace, where i find myself basking in. The waters fine when gods involved. The winds a soft chill when we walk in the forests… Continue

Change comes now.

With the election only one day away, people are anticipating whether change actually will come to this country. I'm already sick of this election. I just want the world to live without fear: of the U.S., of bullies, and of corruption in Washington. May peace consume this nation.

Physical Attraction

What about physical attraction?

The wish for the magical relationship, in the US anyway, is often referred to in the form of a casual question: "Is he the one? or Is she the one?"

There are lots of traps in the thought pursuit of “the one.” Even if you are not chasing “the one” but something less dramatic and more casual, it really makes no difference, fiction remains fiction.

Why? Because the entire pursuit assumes that you need something which, in and of… Continue

More Poverty!!!

On Oct. 19 the Central Committee of China's ruling Communist Party approved a document called "Decision on Major issues Concerning the Advancement of Rural Reform and Development", which will take China into the next, irrevocable stage of its evolution into a fully capitalist economy, but it will also cause the biggest mass migration in history, collapsing the already fragile social balance of the country.

The reform passed 30 years ago, allowed millions of farmers to to farm their plots… Continue

La mondialisation de l'espoir

Les regards du monde entier sont tournés vers les États-Unis d'Amérique; la mondialisation tant défendue par les dirigeants politiques des quatre continents a pris contre toute attente une autre tournure. C'est la mondialisation de l'espoir qui a brusquement fait surface. Le mot "Change" du sénateur Barack Obama a raisonné au-delà de toutes les frontières; il s'est brusquement substitué à celui de "terrorisme" qui a été tellement martelé ces huit dernières années qu'il a fini par déranger la… Continue

Desfazendo equívocos

Se você quer milagres, não procure o budismo. O supremo milagre para o budismo é você lavar seu prato depois de comer.

Se você quer curar seu corpo físico, não procure o budismo. O budismo só cura os males de sua mente: ignorância, cólera e desejos desenfreados.

Se você quiser arranjar emprego ou melhorar sua situação financeira, não procure o budismo. Você se decepcionará, pois ele vai lhe falar sobre desapego em relação aos… Continue

peaceful time of year?

Do any others have issue with the pressure put on people by commercial interests at this time of year. Why is it that in this multi-cultural planet with corresponding beliefs that the Christian 'christmas' is still forced on us? Now it affects me little being insulated from all the hype by seclusion but when I was out in the world working etc I found it frustrating at times that although I do not believe in Christianity I am still forced to abide by it. Why is it we don't show the same respect… Continue

Artist(Band):Bob Dylan

MASTERS OF WAR

Come you masters of war

You that build the big guns

You that build the death planes

You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'

james m,

Although we don't know who the next President will be, we do know that one of his first actions will be to present Congress with a budget. We want to tell the new President--whether it's McCain or Obama--that we want increased funding for effective violence reduction and prevention programs.

So we're launching a… Continue
