~Philosophy~
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority,
but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
~Marcus Aurelius~

"Make the most of the Indian Hemp Seed"
~President George Washington
(Library of USA Congress 1794 vol. 33 p.270)
"The prestige of government has undoubtedly
been lowered considerably by the prohibition law.
For nothing is more destructive of respect for the
government and the law of the land
than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
It is an open secret that the dangerous increase
of crime in this country
is closely connected with this."
-Albert Einstein
(My First Impression of the U.S.A., 1921)
I'm interested in People from all walks of life,
People who care about people and the world,
and who are active in helping others
who have less than themselves..
I try to be a conscious consumer ..
and get a thrill out of spending
my hard earned $$$ with businesses like
*I Love Yoga*
a Company in the U.S.A. committed to conscious living
who donate a percentage
of the money earned from their cool,
edgy Yoga wear and other products to charitable
organizations all over the world.....
I Believe Companies with a philanthropic edge
form part of the New World Order
and should be supported.....
*for more about this kind of thing,
read the blog I posted
"The New Corporate Social Responsibility"

The Mind Divine
A mind that's fast is sick.
A mind that's slow is fine.
A mind that's still is divine.

It's been said, Television is the drug of the nation
breeding ignorance and feeding radiation,
and that TV is the thinking man's masturbation,
I agree with both but I'm compelled :)
sometimes to watch Iron Chef, Rockwiz,
the Cutting Edge & other random interesting stuff
on the ABC and SBS.....
mostly TV is a waste of time and I'd much rather
watch the sun setting from my front verandah
or lay on my back on the grass
picking out the stars and the Milky Way while
staring up at the awesome Summer night sky
over Australia, total bliss!

There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl
to break its shell.
And the lily
how passionately
it needs some wild Darling!
At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door,
and open the Love-window
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.
Rumi
Say not, "I have found THE truth,"
but rather, "I have found A truth."
Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line,
neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

~Joseph Merrick (aka the elephant man)
His eloquence and his patient understanding
and acceptance, not only of his disfigurement,
but of peoples’ responses to his appearance,
is humbling.
He concluded his own brief autobiography
with these words
~ Tis true my form is something odd,
but blaming me is blaming God.
Could I create myself anew,
I would not fail in pleasing you.
If I could reach from pole to pole,
or grasp the ocean with a span;
I would be measured by the soul.
The mind's the standard of the man.~
~Thich Nhat Hanh~
