Warning! The pictures in this video are often ugly and degrading to humankind, but you have to trust me when i say i know much that cannot be reported here without harming others... While traveling in Tibet, especially Lhasa, we were warned constantly not to take any pics of police or military!!! Our cameras would be confiscated and we could end up in jail...it was not an idle threat!
I would like you to watch this video and take it to heart and pray for Tibet and the people who remain there in agony and despair because they are Tibetan, thus have no freedom, merely pretense when it suits their 'captors,' as during this week when Tibet Week is celebrated in Lhasa and Shanghai... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD_MsFr2ztM

Continuing where we left off yesterday...Everyone flips this term around, especially when describing the problems of America today... Here is an easy way to study the subject and thus talk more intelligently about it.

Moving right along, today we choose two paragraphs from page 120 to work on intuitively and seriously...
Jeanne laughed and Julie chuckled, so those who watched them laughed, too, as if they knew what the two welathy American women talked about and why both of them willingly gave up so much to follow The Maya in time like they do. The tribe believed itself to be wealthy now because of the interest shown by rich Americans who came and went from this compound almost daily. Pointing to one of the men having trouble standing, Jeanne said, "Help the elder, please."
He immediately brushed away the helping hand extended toward him and straightened his spine. Silently looking Jeanne in the eye, he let her know he was able to lift himself without assistance. Thank you very much! She was taken back by his pride, then realized that she was just as stubborn as he was. Never quick to leave any scene, the old man lingered longer this evening than usual because he grieved his inability to dance and sing as he had when he was young.
Soooo, the plot thickens??? That's not your problem now...you are seeking wisdom and finding it or not...write and see what you believe....

Okay, we've all heard that said before, and we've heard that 'every psychotherapist in America was glued to the TV screen every week to study the HBO series "The Sopranos" as it played to the world as entertainment. More and more, conversations are riddled with psychobabble meant to infer that this person or that is a psychopath or a sociopath, and most often--a narcisstic personality. But what do these terms really mean.

Considered one of the most influential women of the twentieth century, Mother Teresa devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor, with the motto "To love until it hurts". The 100th anniversary of her birth is now being celebrated around the world. Here is a lovely video sent in by Cheryl: http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=2070In 2008 i was blessed to be able to visit Mother Teresa's base of operations in Calcutta (Kolkutta) India. It was up a back alleyway in a very poor section of a poor part of town and once you entered the building you were surrounded by love. It is in the very stones and walls of the place where she once walked and taught. Today her tomb sits incongruously in the middle of the largest room with flowers and lit candles all around it and several nuns talking to all who visit and willing to answer any questions.

Getting into shape now, or do you require a longer period of adjustment? If so, sit for a minute or two and then take a deep breath and begin reading within what is suggested on Page 64 of Angel of The Maya...
Without a word to either Mandy or the man she was talking to, Jorge continued his walk down the avenue. Strolling, as if digesting a heavy meal, without any thought of being intercepted or blocked, he relaxed and absorbed the atmosphere. The trees around him began to waver as he examined them, noticing that the leaves were not as they had been. The bougainvillea wept and the floral spray above a gate drooped and looked to be decayed. He wondered if he was in the presence of evil again. If so, where should he go to escapte it?
Hmmmm....what does that inspire within your mind now...explore it more and write what you like...
Great getting news of yet another labyrinth under construction, but this one is based on 'horse sense' as much as a spiritual need to complete. Julie dropped us this note and Becky is working on constructing one at her home now... Anyone else???
Hi Ruth,
I visited a lovely place after work today. I know a woman whose work is bringing horses and people together as a means of therapy, leadership training and team building. This evening we gathered for a laying of the stones along lines indicated by small flags. It's a very large labyrinth, with paths wide enough that a person to walk through it while being accompanied by a horse....Julie
For spiritual seekers and those dissatisfied with the teachings of the established Church, the Gospel of Thomas Collection is a series of spiritual writings that provide unique explanations and insights into Jesus' teachings in the Gospel of Thomas.
Discovered amongst a library of books hidden for over 1500 years, the Gospel of Thomas directly reveals spiritual Teachings of Jesus. Their Life-Giving quality offers each of us inward certainty and joyousness based on a timeless tradition of Truth that was omitted from orthodox Christian dogma. It consists of sayings of Jesus almost certainly written down before 52AD and therefore pre-dating by as much as a generation all the books and epistles included in the New Testament. The Gospel reveals the spiritual Teachings of Jesus in their purest form.

Our texts for the month will be selected at random from "Angel of The Maya" and highlight various metaphysical lessons provided there. It will be up to the student to figure them out and ask questions if help is required... The Page number will be posted and you can use the book if you have it...or not...
Pg 37: When the dyers demonstrated their deep purple shades, Mandy was sure the main perpetrator or traitor would do something strange right then, because he strained his lips into a grimace and spat on the floor near several women who were standing aloof from their group. They were unaware that he was near until he spat. One woman jumped at the splat and looked about her as if scared, while his face registered smug satisfaction at her reaction. His thoughts seemed to then dart into another line, but Mandy followed him easily since he was a man without a great mind and his spine was as crooked as a weak sapling often buffeted by strong winds. This elder did not yet understand that his stance was no longer one of pride and righteousness within the tribe, but that of a malcontent, thus a danger to everyone. The other men intently watched him now.
Now, what stand out most to you and why??? Write a few lines and then see what happens the rest of the day....
