Those who seek fame and profitLittle know the peace of the hills.Morning and evening the clear air blows,Between heaven and earth my life exists.My lungs expand, my body functions at ease.If I think of other places, nowhere attracts.If I think of this place, nowhere distracts.The moon waxes full, the pure winds blow.

Monsters exist

:"Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions . . . "Primo Levi

Pride

"And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts.
For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.
O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?
Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?
Yea, why do ye build up your asecret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?
Mormon 8:36-40

The fact

"The fact that there are countries in this world where the government can torture people in secret and without fear of courts is supposed to be a tragedy- not a convenience."Michael Kinsley

Fear thou not for I am with thee

1. Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right


2. As much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day. (Alma 38:5)


3. My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions... O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness! ...O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever.” (2 Nephi 4:20, 33, 34)

Neal Maxwell said

Neal Maxwell said,
God, who oversees the interfacings of galaxies, stars, and worlds, asks us to confess His hand in our personal lives, too (see D&C 59:21)...  God is in the details! Just as the Lord knows all of His vast creations, He also knows and loves each in any crowd — indeed, He knows and loves each and all of mankind! (see 1 Nephi 11:17). Consider His tender salutations to Moses — ”I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight” (Exodus 33:12)...

I believe

I believe with all my heart that the Latter-day Saints, generally speaking, are good people. If we live by the principles of the gospel, we must be good people, for we will be generous and kind, thoughtful and tolerant, helpful and outreaching to those in distress. We can either subdue the divine nature and hide it so that it finds no expression in our lives, or we can bring it to the front and let it shine through all that we do.
There is room for improvement in every life. Regardless of our occupations, regardless of our circumstances, we can improve ourselves and while so doing have an effect on the lives of those about us.
– Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, 6 October 2002, Ensign, November 2002, p. 99

"The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran

Then Almitra spoke again and said.
And What of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be for ever more.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.

Kahlil Gibran in “The Prophet”

"Where women are worshiped, there the Gods dwell

"Where women are worshiped, there the Gods dwell. Or where the women are happy, there will be prosperity. In fact the direct quotes from the Manu-samhita explains as follows: A Women must be honored and adorned by their fathers, brothers, husbands, and brothers-in-law, who desire their own welfare. Where women are honored, there the Gods are pleased." @ (Manu Smriti III.55-59)

SRI RAMAKRISHNA[1836-1886]

Sri Ramakrishna, who was born in 1836 and passed away in 1886, represents the very core of the spiritual realizations of the seers and sages of India. His whole life was literally an uninterrupted contemplation of God. He reached a depth of God-consciousness that transcends all time and place and has a universal appeal. Seekers of God of all religions feel irresistibly drawn to his life and teachings. Sri Ramakrishna, as a silent force, influences the spiritual thought currents of our time. He is a figure of recent history and his life and teachings have not yet been obscured by loving legends and doubtful myths. Through his God-intoxicated life Sri Ramakrishna proved that the revelation of God takes place at all times and that God-realization is not the monopoly of any particular age, country, or people.

The Essential Teachings of Vedanta

Vedanta designates the individual ego as maya. The role of maya is to soften the glare of Reality and to create a dream world where fact is diluted by fiction. Maya is not a peculiar concept of Vedanta. The Buddhistic tradition calls it Mara; the Taoist tradition says it is being "out of harmony with Tao;" the Judeo-Christian, Islamic and Zoroastrian traditions personify maya, calling it Satan, Iblis, and Ahriman; the Platonists refer to it simply as delusion. Things and beings in the realm of maya are not non-existent, though they are illusory. They are relatively real, that is, real for a short time. God as Pure Spirit is the Absolute Reality. The beings and things of the relative universe appear real because they reflect the light of the Absolute. The message of Vedanta has two rhythms: "All this is verily Brahman" and "That thou art;" that is, God is both the Absolute and the relative Reality. One represents the dizzy height of mystical realization, the other its counter part, its humanistic expression. One is Knowledge, the other intimate Knowledge.

Tao Te Ching

The sage has no mind of his own. He takes as his own the mind of the people.
Those who are good I treat as good. Those who are not good I also treat as good. In so doing I gain in goodness. Those who are of good faith I have faith in. Those who are lacking in good faith I also have faith in. In so doing I gain in good faith.

Tao Te Ching

The whole world recognizes the beautiful as the beautiful, yet this is only the ugly; the whole world recognizes the good as the good, yet this is only the bad.
Thus something and nothing produce each other;
the difficult and the easy compliment each other;
the long and the short off-set each other;
the high and the low incline towards each other;
note and sound harmonize each other;
before and after follow each other;

Therefore the sagea keeps to the deed that consists in taking no action and practises the teaching that uses no words...

It gives them life yet claims no possession;
It benefits them yet exacts no gratitude:
It accomplishes its task yet lays claim to no merit.
It is because it lays calim to no merit
That its merit never deserts it.

Lau Tzu, Contentment

Know contentment
And you will suffer no disgrace;
Know when to stop
And you will meet with no danger,
You can then Endure.

He who knows contentment is rich.

There is no greater crime than having too many desires;
There is no disaster greater than not being content;
There is no misfortune greater than beign covetous.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, by D.C. Lau Copyright 1963

Is not the way of heaven like the stretching of a bow?
The high it presses down,
The low it lifts up,
The excessive it takes from,
The deficient it gives to,
It is the way of heaven to take from what has in excess
in order to make good what is deficient.

Lao Tzu

Confucius told his diciples, ' I know a bird can fly, a fish can swim, and an animal can run...But the dragon's ascent into heaven on the wind and the clouds is something which is beyond my knowledge. Today I have seen Lao Tzu who is perhaps like a dragon.'

Lao Tzu cultivated the way and virtue, and his teachings aimed at self-effacement.

Confucius taught a way of life in which morality occupies a supreme position. Morality is shown to have no connexion whatsoever with self-interest. In fact the demands of morality on a man are categorical. If need be, he has to sacrifice even his life in doing what is right...A man is born into certain relationships and as a result has certain duties. for instance, he has a duty of loyalty to his lord, a filial duty to his parents, a duty to help his friends, and duty of common humanity towards his fellow beigns...It was Confucius' s belief that if everyone lived up to his duties according to his station political order would prevail.

Get US out! of the United Nations

World government through the United Nations is a serious threat to the freedom of all Americans. Imagine being held prisoner in a foreign land and tried in an international court with judges from such countries as Afghanistan, China, or Iraq.

The United Nations (financed by American taxpayers!) has long been a safe harbor for terrorist and oppressive regimes which target America as the enemy.

Even more alarming, the United Nations is beginning to take aim at the God-given rights enjoyed by Americans since our great nation was founded. The right to self defense, use your own property, or even the right to have children may all be trampled if the United Nations is allowed to have the power it seeks.

SADHNA - Communicating With Your Soul

Everybody has God's light and it must be lit by a person’s own discipline. And the glass to keep it lit and shining should be kept by the person's own courage, strength and grit. I believe it. I believe this is the love. I believe everybody has the chance to love one’s soul and every soul has the right to shine and every shine has to bring light and brightness, beauty and bountifulness to all, generation after generation.You love your children? You do. They are beautiful. Isn’t that innocent soul in you also your life child ? Have you kissed the soul? Have you hugged the soul? Have you communicated with the soul in the morning at the ambrosial hours when there is absolutely no disturbance? Sadhna is nothing but where a disciplined one, the love, talks to one’s own soul. is nothing but where one cleans his own mind. Sadhna is nothing but where one prepares for the day to become kind and compassionate for everyone, including the enemies.If you think you are poor, you are poor because you do not communicate with your soul, the source of prosperity, the source of reality. If you think you are desperate, you are desperate because you have no Sadhna. Desperation, depression, and a feeling of destitution comes only to those who have no discipline or Sadhna. Only a house which is not cleaned looks dirty and the mind which is not cleaned, stinks. sadhna is the most selfish act of every act, because it is a self-cleansing. Cleanliness is Godliness. It is good to wear good clothes, look good, be bright, beautiful. But when you want to be blissful and bountiful, you have to have a clear mind, a mind through which your soul, your spirit can shine.When you stand, take a stand, and stand tall. Walk tall and stand by the strength of your soul. Not the strength of your intellect, intelligence and your cowardice. If you want to speak to anybody, to deal with anything, to have any relationship, just have relationship by the strength of your soul. Otherwise you will miss the goal of life.

Don't let the anti-Christmas crowd kick Christ out of Christmas

Don't let the anti-Christmas crowd kick Christ out of Christmas this year.

Companies are now working on their Christmas promotions. Let them hear from you today.
June is not the time when we think of Christmas. But June is the time when retailers begin making their plans for Christmas promotions — store banners, newspaper ads, TV commercials, etc. Remember last Christmas when many national retailers banned the use of Merry Christmas and allowed only the use of Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays or even winter holidays? Remember how some stores did not allow their employees to say "Merry Christmas" to their customers? Remember how Christmas trees were called Holiday trees?

There are companies which don't want to offend a small handful of their customers by mentioning Christmas because Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ. However, they don't mind offending Christians by refusing to use the term Christmas. We could be headed for another year when similar incidents occur, unless we let companies know right now that we will not accept the banning of Christmas in their promotions. Now is the time to let the retailers know that if they ban the use of the term Christmas, you will not be shopping with them during the Christmas season!

This is from a Hispanic who lives in Texas.

This is from a Hispanic who lives in Texas. He's had a column in theFort Worth Star Telegram and as you can see, expresses himself very well. ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

I can almost assure you that everyone who is a true American wassickened when you saw multitudes of protesters carrying Mexican flagsprotesting the new Immigration Reform Bill in the Senate. This displayof Mexican flags should give you a heads up on where these protestersallegiance lies. Their hearts are in Mexico and their bellies are in theUnited States. As an American of Mexican Heritage I want to set the recordstraight, American Hispanics are not all thrilled with illegalimmigration. I, for more than 20 years, tried desperately to bring thisnational debacle to the attention of the American people. I had theprivilege of writing for several newspapers, appeared on national andlocal TV and radio programs, and was asked by many political groups toaddress this serious problem affecting my former community (north FortWorth), city, state, and our country. Many will question how I canspeak on this subject with some authority. My simple answer is: I livedwith the problem! Trust me, it was no picnic. Never in my life (I'm68) had I witnessed the lawlessness, the deterioration of my community,and the black market criminal underground activities attributed to theinflux of illegal immigrants. To add injury to insult, politicians soon caved in to the manydemands of illegal immigrants. Notably: bilingual education, bilingualballots, welfare aid, free medical care, etc. Through all this nationaldisgrace allowed by our politicians, have you all noticed that no oneever blames the useless, corrupt, and disgraceful government of Mexico?In contrast, they lanbast and criticize our country. How does that grab you? When I addressed the dangers of our porous border between Mexicoand the United States, and the lax security of our nation, no one paidattention. As I observed the situation, the problem was perceived to bebetween American Hispanic communities and illegal immigrants. WhiteAmericans it seemed assumed that the problem was not theirs to dealwith. In other words they were, asleep at the wheel. However, 9-11soon woke them up. Lets be honest with each other here, white Americans vote in far larger numbers than Hispanics do. And most politicians (Democrats and Republicans) in our city, state, and federal governments are white.
Thus, who is more suited to fix this national disaster? I'm sure most of you know what the answer is. In summation, I'm pleading with white American voters to join mein sending our politicians (Democrats and Republicans) a strong message that we will not tolerate illegal immigrants telling us how to make government policy that will make it easier for them to break our laws. Hope you will join me in this endeavor in our upcoming elections.

TEDDY ROOSEVELT 1907

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907

CHEAP LABOR?

The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal Mexican who sneaks in here with his wife and five children. He takes a job for five or six dollars an hour. At that wage with six dependents he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free!!!. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent, food stamps, and free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school, and require bi-lingual teachers and books that taxpayers provide. He doesn't have to worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins, and printed material. He cannot be fired, harassed, or sued. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20 to $30 an hour in benefits, while working Americans are lucky to have $5 or $6 an hour left after paying their bills and his, and paying for increased crime, graffiti, and trash cleanup.

Ten Commandments of God

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement:

"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

He might just be right-thanks Daniel

ONE FINAL WORD
You know, sometimes I just have to stand up and SCREAM. Like when the birdflu pandemic is looming and the US government doesn't want to spend money on producing a vaccine that could actually save American citizens. Why? Because they say it would be "too expensive," as if spending ten*billion* a month in Iraq is wise, based on what a great job the US has done there and how well things are going and how much safer we all are. Where are the priorities of this government? Why does it so often work against us? Why are our tax dollars not going towards actually protecting us from the inevitable? It's OK if you think I'm wrong, and think that continuing a war based on lies in the Mideast is a better use of money than something that will directly save lives in the US and all over the world. But it's time for most Americans to wake up, stop accepting excuses, and start demanding that the government once again be FOR the people.
