WHAT? CIA DESTROYED WHAT???…..

December 7th, 2007

Okay, getting political again, actually no, I’m pointing out where the truth may lie…from the New York Times article on-line, by Mark Mazzetti,”…in a statement to employees on Thursday, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, the C.I.A. director, said that the decision to destroy the tapes was made “within the C.I.A.” and that they were destroyed to protect the safety of undercover officers and because they no longer had intelligence value.”

And Valerie Plame’s identity was not protected due to political interests.

Some where the truth lies…..

More holiday gift ideas!
I just added these to my cafepress.com/modernvibes site as postcards, notecards, magnets, and ceramic tile coasters.

The flags can be seen in my new 2008 calendar and as a poster 36×24 size on lulu.com/modernvibes

I suggest for those great shots you took on your trips try these sites for self-publishing, and hopefully it’ll fund your next trip..

These are all taken in Nepal.

Mama Love’s Blog….

November 27th, 2007

Here’s someone I can relate to and a subject I am currently dealing with….one thing I’m doing my best to be, is to realize the dream I am in. It’s a way of detaching from the stuff, and know that I am not separate from god. But for me it’s been really difficult (I said difficult not sugarcoating it with CHALLENGE) because I’m not sure then what the purpose is if everything is purely a dream including the body that is typing this. Other stuff I understand, yes, we, collectively, humans created this language I am using, this computer I am typing on, the clothes that I am wearing, the mug I am drinking my hot lemon water (tea), in which a human grew a lemon, and someone sold the lemon to me, and the chair that I am sitting in at the desk that someone created….all of these I could call gifts, but then that would also be part of the illusion, and exposes how attached I am to all this stuff.

Yes, I’ve been reading or doing the A Course In Miracles and reading the book, The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary R. Renard. Does it show?

It’s really hard to write that publicly, to expose myself, to actually write god without sounding evangelical (ooh, did I just make a judgment) but that was the purpose of this to give camaraderie to others, to know that yes, people have multi-dimensions and aren’t UBER positive ALL the time. Yes, I sometimes cannot stand others as I’m sure they cannot stand me, and as we all know, when we see things in other people we don’t like, it’s because we don’t like those same or similar aspects in ourselves. It’s a place where I do not love myself. So it’s never about the other person, it’s all about me, how self-absorbed, huh?
So I salute Sheryl for being in her Truth and having the courage To Be in All Her Glory. Keep it up, it’s encouraging to me, you inspired me enough to get back to the blog…but now I’ve got to get back to the business of finishing my calender….(shameless plug) that I’ll be glad to let everyone know about and how you can get your hands on a HOT, SLICK, 2008 calender and travel back to Nepal with me as you gain a more intimate view of my MotherLand.

Did you see how quickly I can revert back to the dream? A friend of mine that leads a meditation group, says, why not enjoy the illusion? But first I have to remember that I’m in one and to quote so eloquently (the ego’s gotta know, but I’ve been working with the ego and teaching it to be more helpful), what is the purpose of me knowing what the dream is and “how to interpret the images you are seeing”…..

Or as Albert Einstein said, A human being is part of a whole called by us “Universe”, a part limited in space and time. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison to us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.  We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.

Thanksgiving, well, Post, thanksgiving…

November 25th, 2007

I don’t know where the time goes….just more into being in the moment then writing it down…but here’s something to ponder…

Yup.  Being, poli….no, being, a humanist again…

http://www.lucasgray.com/video/peacetrain.html

Just to remind everyone there are people living there, with lives, just like us, shopping, eating, working, loving and living….can you imagine if someone came and dropped bombs on us, tanks rolling through our neighborhoods, doors being busted down, while you are watching TV or hiding in a closet praying for you life…with paramilitary pointing an AK at your head….while those same men sent to insure some sort of democratic process…or to protect a foreign country’s economy, well, you get the picture…

I suppose when I truly know that I am in abundance, full of wealth, so shall everyone….
