  1. I like--> ~Paramahansa's Autobiography of A Yogi~ ~Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain~ ~London - Edward Rutherford~ ~Anne Frank's Diary~ ~Thiaoouba Prophecy - Michel Desmarquet~ ~Messages From Water - Masuru Emoto~ ~Sunfood Diet Success System - David Wolfe~ ~Law of One - Carla Rueckert, Don Elkins, Jim McCarty~ These books are all very different but they have all helped me in different areas, oh, and of course, anything by ~Shakespeare~ & ~Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet~ I like reading.
  2. Here is another very fine meditation. It 's from kundalini yoga teachers (Ravi Singh and Ana Brett) Raviana.com Meditation of the Month: Enjoy!
  3. This is such a nice meditation and a great way to expand on your normal breath/meditation work. Raviana.com is a site for the yoga teachers Ravi Singh and Ana Brett. Beautiful.
  4. I agree. I have a few tips for you. You are on the right track with cutting out certain foods. If you are such a chocoholic, then you might want to try RAW COCOA. You can add it to fruit smoothies and stuff, or by itself. It's free of milk, sugar, and heat, so it's the best part of the chocolate without anything guilty. It's been called the food of the gods, and it's a superfood. Try finding it online, it's not in any stores, yet. If you want to get rid of a blemish overnight, then try clay. Proactive clay mask thingy is the best clay to just dab on a blemish and then it will disapear. Any pure clay will work (try it internally if you will, as it cleanses the system) but Proactive just really works. I find that those other soaps you were talking about just irritate the skin and make blemishes worse. I use pure castile soap, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, or Kirk's original coco castile. Just because they don't have any unnatural things that your body has to detox. Also use a natural deoderant, and then your shoulders will not blemish. Oh, and I heard about this conncoction that you can make by mixing 2/3 hydrogen peroxide and 1/3 colloidal silver. You spray it on after getting out of the shower. The silver kills the bacteria and the hydrogen peroxide will, too, and also help with scars. The last thing to talk about is the sun. It will kill the bacteria off and make your skin healthy, fade scaring and give you a healthy glow. It is a powerful detox. Try some sun today, it's free, so why not? --(No sunlotion! Only coconut oil, if you must, and do not exceed an hour a day. )
  5. Yes, I have a tip for you. Stare at the sky. Day or night. It's very meditative and relaxing. It contacts you with nature.It can contact you with yourself and the universe. Make sure there are no clouds/stars in your way, and stare into the infinite void! If that dosen't make you feel more spiritual, then who knows? You can also stare at the back of your eyelids which is almost the same effect, really. Meditation is not an activity, per say, it's a state of mind. The ideal way to meditate is not for hours a day while life passes you by, it's meant to be your state of mind in all areas of life. When you can find the bliss in the meditation while sitting, you will find the bliss in everyday activites. That's the whole point of the exersize. Just look at cats, or any other animal. Everything they do is a meditation. They don't have stray thoughts just racing around. They have one thought and they focus on it, or have no thought at all. Constant mediation. Maybe the first step to meditation for you is to sit down, and focus on something (a candle flame, a thought like "om", or the sky) , and then instead of noticing what you're thinking, think about how you're feeling. Then try to feel it more. And more until you feel blissful. Then you will have no thought, because you will be so enraptured in the feeling of bliss. To me, meditation is less of a mind-exerisize in no thought. (Isn't that an oxy-moron, anyway?) It's more of a connection of being in the god-source, which brings a state of bliss. You must still the mind to do that. Are you blissful thinking about the laundry that needs doing? Then don't think about it. Find something good to feel/think about. Then just do the laudry without thinking about it, while thinking/feeling about the good thing. Other than that, just sit quietly for 20 minutes morning and night. It's good to be quiet. That's were the you that is really you lies in wait for you to hear.
  6. Suicide is a last cry for help in my opinion, but by then it's too late. they should look deeply INSIDE themselves, not rely on others to come and comfort their pain, and in a perfect world they would, but this is not a perfect world. The only one you can rely on is yourself. It 's your job to talk yourself out of it, and i think that if you commit suicide, you are going to have to repeat this lesson that you were trying to avoid over again. Of that i'm sure.
  7. I don't think anything's gonna happen. I mean, if it was the end of the world, then just die and suck it up. Live like you mean it. Live fast -- die young --and leave a beautiful corpse. --James DeanLive like you're gonna die ..in 2036.It only has a small chance of hitting earth. Lots and lots of meteriods hit earth DAILY, and major big ones slide by without any harm. Lots and lots of others, I'm sure most scientists don't even know about. We don't need something like this hanging over our heads. People in all times and eras have cried the end of the world, but it obviously hasn't happened. So you should just LIVE the best we can, because the end could come anytime, personally or world-wide. Could come before then, you don't know. And if it does, then what are you going to look back on on reckoning day?A life filed with fear of the end of the world, or a life filled with love and happiness.. It doesn't matter how or when you die, only what you do while you're alive.
  8. I love to jog everyday if i can, and if I don't then I normally walk. I love to do yoga, as well.My favourite kind of yoga to do are the Ravi Singh and Ana Brett Kundalini yoga Dvd's. They give you the best and most dramamtic results in the quickest amount of time. They are also very relaxing with a meditation in between each exersize, and also very fun, too. I like to take sauna's also, does that count as exersize? It makes you sweat and increases your heart rate, so why not? I like rebounding, and try to do it for about 10 minutes each day. It's great at moving the lymph system and for better circulation. Sometimes I like to lift weights, because it makes it easier to do more areobic exersizes. First, to do running or anything, like yoga, you must have the muscles to support yourself, I think.I like exersizing, becuase it can be very relaxing, ironically, and I can feel old emotions being detoxed out, espaecially when I do more intense stuff. What you do for the body you do for the mind.
  9. The reason why the video didn't comment on what happened to the people after they left the plane in Cleveland, is because they simply don't know. In my opinion, there were either one of two things that happened -- they were met with guns or money...
  10. Correct me if i'm wrong here, but going by Loose Change, only a million or so dollars where recovered from the vault--leaving billions to be questioned... If we, the sheeple of the United States of America did wake up, i think we'd overthrow Bush and *hint hint* -- elect Obama
  11. Not that violent, huh? Well, I think the film is excessively violent based on the reviews that I've read. Based on this article, it sounds like ...quite the experience... These parts are going to have to be cut (down to an R rating), and even though they have nothing to do with "Death Proof", they are still in the movie, and I DEFINATLEY DON'T want to see any of this... This makes me angry... Source: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ P.S. --Just read his interview in this month's issue of GQ magazine, and he talks about the violent aspects of his films. It's a v enlightening interview, you gotta read it. V funny, too..
  12. RedAlert, you do make an interesting point. Have you ever had a 'gut-feeling' on some issue? Yes, i'm sure you have, and i'm also sure that that 'gut-feeling' turned out to be true. When i saw this doc. on youtube, i had the gut feeling that everything that happened surrounding nine-eleven was sudenly put into place. Several issues were explained that have never made sence to me before. Namely:--The damage at the Pentagon never looked like a plane had crashed into it. --Everybody who said they 'saw a plane' could never quite agree on whether it was a private jet or a 747. Wouldn't you know?--There is NO WAY that a fire in the TOP FLOORS of the WTC could ever bring the entire structure down in 9 seconds. I have seen implosions before -- (the Kingdome, in Seattle) and they looked completely identical. Even if the fire had burned the top floors to simthareens, how did it buckle the steel all the way down to ground level so that nothing was left--not even the numerous black boxes from the airplanes that are almost ALWAYS found in a crash?--The War in Iraq is because of the failed economic take-over, and the War on Terrorism is just a smoke-screen.I would love to see your documents that say the information presented in Loose Change was "false and/or taken out of context". Could you send me the links?People have ways of rearranging facts and data (haven't you ever taken a class in statistics?) that can make something seem--not the way it is. indeed, it becomes an illusion. Even if every soul believes in the illusion, it dosen't make the magician infallible--he only seems infallible, because that's where he directs your attention while he's pulling strings behind your back.Yes and you are completely right to say that the idea of a government conspiracy sounds interesting. Very astute observation of facts. Tell me something, though --Has anything ever been considered FALSE for it being INTERESTING?That is not a logical statment to make. Interesting does not equal untrue. in fact, the opposite seems to be the precedent. What happened to all the gold at the bottom of the WTC? It vanished. The government says it burned. I say that's stupid. Can billions of dollars of pure gold even burn? And the fire never reached the bottom floors. And yet, it burned.... Hmm.... I propose a new name for Loose Change. The Biggest Freaking Bank Robbery in History. All i am doing (and the creators of Loose Change) is opening up the DIALOUGE for the POSSIBILITY that a conspiracy could be underway. You cannot deny that governments have not been corrupt in the past. in fact, the opposite seems to be the precedent. Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it...In the end, our 'gut feeling' is all that we have to go on. People can make up fact after fact after fact, and we can weed out the good from the bad, but in the end, we all have to start relying on OURSELVES to find the truth. The truth is usually painful, too, and that is how we grow. I hope we all keep growing. One More Thing ...Did you notice the president's reaction to the attacks? He just sat there--and did nothing. Actions speak louder, my friend.
  13. The rabbit symbolizes Spring and all things cute and new and refreshing. The rabbit 'springs' around to children's homes every easter and gives them chocolates to make them happy. now the chocolate industry has kind of ran with the idea of chocolates and rabbits. Oh, and rabbits symbolize fertility, which also symbolizes Spring, which kind of relates to the The Resurrection and new begginings.
  14. Okay so it's the spectacular movie-going event that everyone's going to be talking about. I'm sure it's really good, and I admit that QT has got an immense talent for writing and directing. He is a film-making fool. i mean that in a good way. he brings such style and originality to the table. No one can match him in raw talent and passion. In other words, i am surely a huge fan of QT. But i have a huge problem with Grindhouse. The first problem is that it is way too violent for any decent human being. It's just kill, after murder, after suicide, after drug overdose, after mutilation, after sexy girls dying sexy deaths while being sexually exploited.... i must admit, i haven't seen it so i don't know what's in it--i just know that it's God damn violent! The second problem with it, is that Robert Rodrigez directed half of it. This means that if you subtract the brilliance and ingenuity of QT's style, you have nothing but a corny, unqualified, sub-par slasher film, just like all the others. I obviously can't stand slasher films. They serve no purpose other than to try to 'scare' you, but they don't even do that. The third problem is... well, the paradox. I really really want to see this movie. At least the one half of it. *(QT's half!) I've seen a clip and it's good...it's sooo good. What to do? It's being called a masterpeice. QT's part is supberb i'm sure. But ...it's ...so ...violent! i detest violence in films, but i love a great movie, and i love great art. Why is the greatest artist of teh century so addicted to uncivilised violence and crime!? Maybe there is a point to QT's madness, and that is to put the mirror up to mankind. We are capable of this kind of violence, and we could do it, sure, or we could just watch it safely on the movie screen where it can't hurt us, and then we can silently promise ourselves never to engage in such illicet activities. Sounds ideal, right? The problem is that it gets into our subconscious minds, to the point that we may react in a violent way when normally we'd kiss and make up. There is evidence that QT is becoming more violent in real life: He got sued for $5 million for bashing a guy's head against the wall. Nice. Maybe he's becoming influenced by his own movies.
  15. My idea is for a light that comes on at the back of your vehicle to warn the guy behind you that he is following too closely. The tailgating light -- a practical response to Road-Rage. Whatch the instances of rage on the road disappear... It could be automatic, or manual, in your car, or his. it could be an alarm, or a light, just something that shows everyone who's driving properly and who's being an *bottom* (a$$). Or, my personal favourite, a flashing BACK OFF BASTARD sign that comes on, when some shmo decides to get on your *bottom* (a$$) going 80 mph on the freeway. There could even be an alarm in their car to really throw them off. How about a light that comes on when ANYTHING is about to come too close? An Immiment Contact Alarm. Practical.
  16. I hope that you are not driving as you are visiting this forum. That would not work... I am a non-drinker, and i don't do drugs of any kind. Never have. I don't take medication, either, because i perceive that it's bad for the body, and it numbs the mind. I definatly don't like the idea of my brain being messed with --by any substance-- and that is why i don't drink or do drugs. I like the idea of being completely conscious at all times.
  17. I have found the HOLY GRAIL of yoga videos. I am talking about Ana Brett and Ravi Singh's Kundalini Yoga Dvd's. They are so much fun and they have nothing but rave reviews on Amazon.com. That's indeed why i bought them in the first place. Boy, i was not dissapointed...Ana does the moves, Ravi narrates them. it is so much fun and they make up their own moves for the most part, like "ravi rolls". And the moves they do are so simple, you would think they wouldn't be as effective as they are in reality. you really do get teh most efficient yoga workout you have ever had. Ana is incrediblly graceful and beautiful. SHe is married to Ravi, who demonstrates a great teaching ability as he guides you through the moves. I would recommend these dvd's to anyone interested in yoga, and definately to anyone who might be getting bored with the 'normal' yoga routine. This is definatly different--and not a 'downward dog' in sight!!!It gives you the greatest benefits in the shortest amount of time. They are worth every penny, and i consider them to be indespensible. They are so much fun you'll want to do them everyday! Ana & Ravi are the best yoga teachers out there, in my opinion.I can't wait to see the new ones that they come out with!!
  18. Try herbal cigarrettes--they are nothing but tobacco (like the Native Americans smoked) and they are not dangerous because they don't have any nicottine, or rat poisen, or tar, or whatever they shove in those cigarrettes these days...Try some form of deep breathing. This helps destress the body and remove toxins from the airways. The only way to truly stop an addiction is to stop it at an instinctual level. The people who have long-term success in avoiding cigarrettes are the ones you just had a cigarette in hand one day, and BEFORE THEY EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT, they put it down, and never picked one up again.It was their instinct, and their spiritual discipline that gave them the ability not to smoke again.
  19. I have made my own butter before. it's easy. All you do is take the heavy whipping cream, beat it with a wisk, or an electric mixer, which is easier, of course, and then it will curdle and turn yellowish. Then you just wring it out with a paper towel or cheesecloth, if you have it, and there is butter! It's so cool--i never knew butter was just consolidated cream for some reason...Then, if you want to make it healthy, just heat teh butter in a pan until the creamy-ness separates from the liquid, and viola, there you have it: clarified butter (aka ghee)...It's healthy, because the creamy part is the not-so-good-for-you part of the butter, and the clear liquid is actually beneficial to your health, so say some ayurvedic physicians. So there, homemade butter...
  20. Yes, i also use yahoo, and they are v good about dumping the spam in the right folder. I don't think you'll ever get away from spam, it's the nature of the beast. you get teh good with the slightly annoying. The best thing to do, is to not read the spam, and the spam with not bother you. Don't read teh chain letters, the cons, the advertisments, and the offers that raid your inbox day after day after day...Just get rid of em
  21. If you want substantial 'proof' that partially-hydrogenated oils are REALLY REALLY bad for you, then take a look at some of the people that eat them... be observant, and take a look at the health of people that eat the higest amount of junk food. Chips, cookies, cakes, pastries of all sorts, frozen foods, and boxed foods all contain high amounts of partially hydrogenated oils. People that eat these foods on a regular basis ( as opposed to high amounts of uncooked fruits and vegetables) are in poorer health than those who don't, so in fact youcan learn from this 'experiment'. If you have ever seen a big bucket of hydrogenated oil, like that episode of Oprah when she had dr. oz on, you would never want to eat another food that conatined it. i avoid foods with hydrogenated oils all the time now. i check the label. The problem is that hydrogenated oils are a man-made chemical compound that the human body was never designed to eat. It puts a huge burden on our digestive systems, because our bodies just don't know what to do with it. They ravage our health, and you are right when you say the government is doing nothing to help us, because we are in fact an experiment for these kinds of things. Don't trust the FDA, they are corrupted with a capital C. Avoid putting your money into things that support the use of trans-fats, and especially hydrogenated oils. Dont' buy the food and companies won't manafacture it--it's that simple..
  22. Nice. If anyone here likes Shakespeare as much as i do.. this is a treasure. I'm always looking for new Shakespeare to read and this is just a handy little booklet for me...I love the guy, his writing is supberb, and his teachings are entertaining and invaluable. Yay for Shakespeare!
  23. Yes. I can say it... Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. Hmm.. its that latin for six-hundred sixty six?If it is, is would be just as hard for someone who dosen't speak English to say sixhundredsixtysixphobia...Just a point...__________________It does seem like a pretty bizzare thing to suffer from, but if you ask me, more people have it in a mild form than you would think. I mean, most people don't go running and screaming from 666 like a fire, but most people do feel uncomforable around that number. They've been told that it's an evil number or whatever, and they subconsciously react to it in a negative way. It's like a mild form of brainwashing. You see 666 and you go... "uh oh, better change my hotel room."--They avoid it.
