That sounds very interesting Pete, THANKS! I'll check it out tomorrow after work.

My sincere condolences for your loss! Brightest Blessings!!!

I had a great year! I'm thankful for my real family and my ULC family and friends, my health and just life in general. Each moment in life is precious and taking the time to become aware of them makes them each more enjoyable. I hope I can become more aware of that little flicker of love and peace which flickers in each moment for the remainder of this year and the next.

I just finished reading The Edge of Evolution" The Search for the limits of Darwinism which I found very very very enjoyable and informative. I am almost done "Eyes Open Wide" cultivating discernment on the spiritual path by Mariana Caplan PHd which has opened my eyes to some of my own foibles. I also just got 'The Confessions of St. Augustine" today which if its half as good as the other two should be enjoyable as well.

Enlighten me no ..... make me focus more on my oneness with all things yes. A good resounding AUM after hitting my gong and also a "Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō " with the the last o resonating into an AUM after hitting my gong. When I'm not at home one of the machines at work sounds like a gong when I hit it with the side of a broom and I occasionally give it a good rap three times and chant much to the dismay of my Christian co-workers

That is fantastic and I'll continue to pray for improvement.

If this changed methinks we would have a whole lot less wars.

Yet the military-industrial complex which runs things loves it? Without war they'd be out of work and working at McDonalds!

Now it is even worse as kids like my nephew spend hours upon hours in front of computers killing people in every way imaginable way, creating enhanced neuronetworking in their minds on killing. He wont even stop to eat or bathe unless his mom forces him to.

I don't think the army is totally faultless in all this from the info I have heard on the news. The guy tried very desperately to get out and it seems they don't mind disgruntled employees who carry weapons. Imagine if he would have used a tank with live ammo!

Seems to me his Soul Patch isn't boosting his Magickal Powers enough to remedy his problem through the use of Magick and ritual, so if it was a job I liked and didn't want to lose I would lose the Goatee. I would also take note of this failure and quite possibly look for another more powerful focal point for my thought forms, or use my Soul Patch and Magickal powers to help me look for another job,

My little Buddy is doing much better and sounded like her rascally self today and is headed off to her dads. I hope LWYoung's little one is doing better as well!!!

I'll pray for the little youngster as I am also busy praying for my little buddy who went to the ER tonight with a high fever. She sounded so ill on the phone tonight it ripped my heart out!

Hmmmm

I don't think it is real. To paint yourself in the exact perspective from which the camera is taking the photo and then stand in the exact position is I think impossible. I think maybe one or two of those might be real and the others are superimposed or something similar. The front end loader and the one where he is standing in the garden really scream fake to me.

Were you an Oompha and more importantly did all the blue come off yet?

Do you have any good baby recipes? No Bar-B-Q ones though.

The saddest thing about his comments are that some people will actually buy every word he says as Gospel. I spent my morning with my Wiccan friends which I do the first Sunday of every month and have never encountered Sex with demonsOrgies between animals and humansAnimal and human sacrificesSacrificing babies to shed innocent bloodRape and molestation of adults, children and babiesRevel nightsRelease of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.We did discuss whether just the "intent" of casting a spell should be all that is necessary if one could focus their thought forms sufficiently. Time released curses seem pretty darn sophisticated to me. Time for Pat to grab his Bible and sit in the old rocking chair on the porch and keep his ignorant mouth shut.

Noooooooooooooooooooo! Not the candy! Didn't you hear about Pat Robertson's warning where this years Halloween treats were prayed over by Witches and evil spirits. I hope you didn't read this too late and have already ingested some M&M's because now not only should you get your stomach pumped but have a priest do an exorcism at the same time. The whole Linda Blair scene all over again. Way to go Pat Robertson "lying for Jesus"

Hows that stuff washing off your front door, car and spaceship?

Yes a Blessed Samhain for all!

I'm rereading my copy of the Upanishads as well, which I left at work tonight after the power outtage and I got the chance to tear outta there and go hiking early. So far everything I read seems to confirm what Luis relates to us about Hinduism and I'm wondering what Vedic literature dattaswami is basing his belief system on.

"The Age of Empathy" nature's lessons for a kinder society by Frans De Waal. Pretty interesting material on the evolution of morality in primates and humans.

If the Christian Old testament God were to be proven true I would be highly disappointed and of the same mindset as Verisoph. I could not worship such a deiTy unless it somehow revealed to me acceptable reasoning for many of His actions. Something a whole lot more reasonable than "because I said so!"

..there were four little colored ponies standing in a field filled with mushrooms then suddenly..
