They’ve added up to a significant improvement in the ease and quality of my day-to-day life. But the major breakthroughs have come from a handful of insights that completely rocked my world and redefined reality forever. The world now seems to be a completely different one than the one I lived in about ten years ago, when I started looking into the mechanics of quality of life. Maybe you’ve had some of the same insights. 1. The first time I heard somebody say that — in the opening chapter of The Power of Now — I didn’t like the sound of it one bit. I see quite clearly now that life is nothing but passing experiences, and my thoughts are just one more category of things I experience.

Article 61 of the Magna Carta Magna Carta Article 61 Preliminary. This was written from the point of view of the monarch at the time (King John), consequently "we" and "us", etc, refer to the monarch. Here is Article 61 in its entirety. All we need is "25 Barons" (who are decent and honest human beings). Note to debunkers, legal eagles, constitutional lawyers & other superior beings, etc: The Magna Carta was written in Mediaeval Latin and translated into English, and I am English. Furthermore the original (1215) Magna Carta pre-dates any 'parliament'. Article 61 But since we have granted all these things aforesaid, for GOD, and for the amendment of our kingdom, and for the better extinguishing the discord which has arisen between us and our Barons, we being desirous that these things should possess entire and unshaken stability for ever[1], give and grant to them the security underwritten[2]; End of Article 61. Notes. [1]. [2]. [3] Who elects the Barons in the first place? [4] Security entirely due to peace and liberties?
A Generation of Men Raised by Women “We’re a generation of men raised by women. I’m wondering if another woman is really the answer we need.” This comment, made by the Tyler Durden character in the movie Fight Club, is one of the most memorable lines of that film and has oft been repeated and discussed. It’s sticking power is surely due to the way it resonated with many men–how it so succinctly summed up their life’s experience. “Between man and man there is always an insuperable gulf. Without male mentors, many men of this generation have felt adrift, unsure of how to deal with an indescribable but acute lack in their lives. How did we get to the point where it is possible, as Edward Abbey put it, “to proceed from infancy into senility without ever knowing manhood?” There are three primary social institutions that have historically served to mold young boys into men: family, religion, and education. The Family During the pre-industrial period, a man’s home was also his workplace. Education Religion It’s truly a mixed bag.
Wonder How To » How To Videos & How-To Articles The Case Against Buying Christmas Presents | zen habits Post written by Leo Babauta. I love Christmas. I love the snow-themed everything, even when I was living on tropical Guam, and Santa and elves and reindeer and snowmen and candy canes. Yes, I even love the non-stop playing of Christmas music for two months. Most of all, I love getting together with my family — eating Christmas cookies, singing Christmas carols together, gossiping and laughing at each other. It’s tremendous fun. I don’t love Christmas shopping, or the overconsumption, frenzied malls, consumer debt, environmental waste, wasted time wrapping, and over-accumulation of needless stuff that goes with it. Bah humbug! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Questions Q: But what about the kids? I think, instead, this can be a great opportunity to have an open discussion with kids about buying and spending and debt. Q: But what about family? This is also a great opportunity (you see how I love turning problems into opportunities?) Q: But I love giving presents! Alternatives to buying
Aurora Borealis Activity Now. Everything You Need to know. By JIM THOMAS -- Soft Serve News Auroras are difficult to predict with precision. They have stops and starts (known as sub-storms). If you are out there, you need to be patient and lucky. Here are some tools that will increase your chances. Here is the prediction of storm intensity for the next few minutes (the higher the Kp number, the larger the Aurora): The Space Environment Center's Neural Net Program estimates that . . . in 15 minutes, the Geomagnetic Activity level (Kp number) will be 7 -- at STORM LEVEL! Why miss your Aurora? Now, find the Kp number line on one of the following maps that matches the Kp number predicted above. It's critical to get confirmation of activity with NOAA's Ovation map. It's a great sign if you see a thick aurora band with some areas of light yellow, orange or, better yet, RED on this map as opposed to just a thin (or transparent) band with only dark green. (Story continues below) Want free access to the Aurora three day forecast? Dark. Why?
How to Be a Positive Person, in Under 300 Words | zen habits ‘Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune.’ ~Walt Whitman By Leo Babauta I’m a pretty positive person — I consider it one of the keys to the modest success I’ve had in creating new habits and achieving things in the last few years. I couldn’t have run three marathons without a positive mindset, nor created Zen Habits, mnmlist, or The Power of Less. Positive thinking, as trite as it seems, has changed my life. I’m not going to sell you on it, but if you’re interested, here’s the condensed guide to changing your own life: Realize it’s possible, instead of telling yourself why you can’t. Focus on this habit first, and you’ll have a much easier time with any other. ‘A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.’

SPIRITUAL SEX Here is your chance to spiritualize your sex life or to make your spiritual life more sexy by Walter Last Sexuality is closely related to spirituality in several ways. In its negative aspects of lust, sexual excess, degradation and rape, it appears as the antithesis of spirituality, and in this light it has been seen in the Christian tradition. However, in its positive aspects our sexuality can open our heart to love, and enable us to have experiences similar to meditative states and mystical bliss during or instead of an orgasm and its afterglow. The idea of celibacy for priests, nuns and monks is to spiritualize sexual energies as in meditation, rituals and other devotional practices. There are various yoga and meditation techniques to transform sexual energy into kundalini or spiritual energy by oneself. Commonly esoteric teachings advise to curtail sexual activity and portray abstinence as an ideal in order to retain sexual energies for internal development. Karezza Meditative Sex
