More on Huston Smith

Many thanks to Lynn for sharing the following link to an interview with Huston Smith and also for taking the time to share her thoughts about recent Blog offerings.  Much appreciated!!!
 
Although you didn't get much feedback on your blog about the teachings on Taoism, I must tell you I enjoyed them all very much. I stole sleeping time and went further to find more on Huston Smith and found a video interview that was quite intriguing. It's a little over one hour.  I can see why he is a personal favorite. You may have viewed this already, it was produced in 2005, but just in case…
 

Daily Thoughts for March

Quickly look up.  What is going on that you never check out?  A lot.  We can sense that if you were to ever go straight up at any time you might collide with what is hiding on the outside of your life.

The World as I See It – Albert Einstein

Just a quick read and you will see why The Teachers refer to Albert Einstein as the first saint of the 20th Century.  Who will be the first saint of this century???  Care to name one or are there none--at least not yet??

"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...

Daily Thoughts for March

Pearly things are usually not very expensive.  Why?  They are masquarading as something that takes many years to create.  What starts as an irritation becomes the oyster's pride and joy.

Three Meanings of Tao

Okay, today, we will wrap up our review of Taoism, and once again rely on Huston Smith to do it right…

                On opening Taoism’s bible, the Tao Te Ching, we sense at once that everything revolves around the pivotal concept of Tao itself. Literally, this word means path, or way. There are 3 senses, however, in which this “way” can be understood.

When is a coinincidence a coincidence???

Those of you who know and love Mandy and her friends will get a chuckle out of this, and those of you who have no idea may want to check it out to see what people are talking about. LOL

Hey Ruth!
I just finished Angel of the Maya last night, and what a surprise to me!!! I think you knew that the "J" in AJ stands for Jeanne, (had no idea!) and I used and still do sometimes go by Jeanne (my family calls me Jeanne)....and so I thought it was great that the scribe's name in Angel of the Maya is Jeanne (and of course I think you are the character!!!)....
But!!! When I got to the page where Jeanne is talking about how it is okay to be divorced from "Steve", BANG!!!  My Ex-HUSAND's name is STEVE!!! I almost fell out of bed!!!  I know both names are common, but still it was a great coincidence to me!!! LOL!!!

A Milestone of Sorts

Today we stop to celebrate 3,000 entries on The Blog.  Yes, we have been busy over the years and consistently set up lessons given to me through The Teachers and others who are able to promote peace and work on Earth that is helpful in overcoming any kind of liability or lack of understanding about others, but we still do not have the connection we had when we shared individual letters via the internet.  Today even this means of communicating is ending.

Daily Thoughts for March

When you are happy and able to laugh, remember it.  You may not like being sad in life, but it is an act that will be followed by laughter.  Just hard to remember fun when you feel glum.

Robo-Snow Plow

Don't know who the geniuses are who built this robotic snow plow, but i wish i did.  There are so many other things they could do now!!!  Looks like Pittsburgh, but could be anywhere in the mid-west or northeast, too.  Thanks Kathy for sending in the video.

Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth

The other day i made the big jump and bought Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth on DVD from Amazon.  Unable to finish up the course on same subject with Jungian Analyst Nancy Dougherty because she moved to Austin, TX, i debated about investing so much in this set...but decided to use my birthday funds as my friends intended and am now awaiting the arrival of this great find.... 

Editorial Reviews From: Amazon.com
Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth is essential viewing for anyone old enough to appreciate its vital teachings. One of the greatest interviews ever recorded, this 6-part, 6-hour encounter between teacher-mythologist Campbell and student-journalist Bill Moyers (recorded in the two years preceding Campbell's death in 1988) covers a galaxy of topics related to Campbell's central themes: Mythology is humanity's universal method of seeking the transcendental, and "follow your bliss" is the timeless formula for spiritual satisfaction.

Daily Thoughts for March

May you never have to worry about what is going on around you.  That is the way so many live today and it was caused by people who never think about others.  We are now aware who cares and you know who shares.
