Do the Quadruple Whammy in doing good and donate to purchase a local CSA share for a family in need through the Permaganic Eco-Garden, talk about maximizing your donation dollars to make change! Your money will go to train inner city youth to grow local healthy food, donate it to a family in need who then can eat healthy and also train the youth to sell some of it at Findlay Market to learn job readiness..... Now that is maximizing donation Dollars, so come on and make a change! http://www.bentcanvs.com/campaigns/feed-a-family-sponsor-a-youth

Planting Nourishing Habitats for Community! We all deserve healthy, fresh food - the place and knowledge to grow it.

Gotta love how Ram Dass lays the foundations (as do most if not all religions) of how to get us ready to pierce the veil and work in the energetic game, the one that exists beyond duality, after all its a huge responsibility once attained to use it properly and not fall like Icarus.

"A lot of people try to counteract the ‘I am not good enough’ with ‘I am good enough.’ In other words, they take the opposite and they try to invest it. That still keeps the world at the level of polarities. The art is to go behind the polarities. So the act is to go not to the world of ‘I am good’ to counteract ‘I am bad,’ or ‘I am lovable’ as opposed to ‘I am unlovable.’ But go behind it to ‘I am.’ I am. I am. And 'I am' includes the fact that I do crappy things and I do beautiful things and I am. That includes everything and I am.

As you start to rest in the I am-ness, from that place, you can start to set boundaries on the way you play the game and become more impeccable in the way you play it."- Ram Dass, Love Serve Remember

"There are various tests to which a devotee is subjected: they could be of the mind, or the intellect, of the body, and so on. A number of such tests are there. In fact, God is conducting tests all the time; every occurrence in life is a test. Every thought that crops up in the mind is in itself a test to see what one's reaction will be. Hence one must be always alert and aloof, conducting oneself with a spirit of detachment, viewing everything as an opportunity afforded to gain experience, to improve oneself and go on to a higher stage." Bhagavan Nityananda.

A Few new blogs, first in many months…. Its time to step up and stand for our future through permaculture and the Ethics for a sustainable future for Humanity and thus all life for the next Millennia

So its time to recognize where we are and what's been going on over the last 40 years. First off, we need to stop seeing a growing economy as a "Healthy Eocnomy" and transition to Gross National Ha...

Do we have the right to tinker with millions of years of evolution in another being .... or the more appropriate question is do we have the awareness to recognize all the challenges we may be creating with those single track goals that we engineer into that other being?

I will be transferring most activity over to the page entitled Holistic Awakening the new name I've been working with as its more comprehensive

Here's a great opportunity to help kick off a great idea some of my friends and colleagues are working to get off the ground. there's only 34 hours left so jump on board. This stove really does kick butt and can really help many people in need around the world... The best part is what you can get from donating to it.

Only 20 minutes to a meal, safely sizzling up to 550°F, the GoSun Stove is the first truly practical fuel-free cooking solution.

This ain't the normal post but Between all the wonderful cultures and places in this world I find joy in I guess it may be hard to pin me down into one stereotype... I guess I just love joyful creation and those who do a good job of expressing it and sharing it with others.

So true.... so true... What a powerful being Ramana was. And to think he was only 15% of the way there, which is nothing to scoff at.

I have not said a Guru is not neccesary. But a Guru need not always be in human form. First a person thinks that he is inferior and that there is a superior, all knowing, all powerful God who controls his own and the world’s destiny and worships him or does bhakti. When he reaches a certain stage and becomes fit for enlightenment, the same God whom he was worshipping comes as Guru and leads him onward. That Guru comes only to tell him, ‘That God is within yourself. Dive within and realize’. God, Guru and the Self are the same.

Realization is the result of the Master’s (Guru’s) grace, more than teachings, lectures, meditations, etc. They are only secondary aids, whereas the former is the primary and essential cause.

Guru’s grace is always there. You imagine it to be something somewhere high up in the sky, far away and which has to descend. It is really inside you in your Heart, and the moment, by any of the methods, you effect subsidence or merger of the mind into its source, the grace rushes forth, spouting as from a spring from within you.
