you would have to determine if they were actually happy 99% of the time - not just trying to hustle you in the moment

That's what happened to Jesus

yes

yes, the happy little camper stage, orange impersonating green and above

Come on, serial killers use that excuse

Just love the Devil to death, that'll kill 'em

what is your opinion of this idea: The only thing that exists is consciousness and consciousness is the totality of the consciousness of all conscious beings nothing material exists, it is all imagined by the totality of consciousness

that is a child like philosophy. It's like if you put a young baby's toy toy under a pillow. They think the toy no longer exists. If you do that as an adult it leads to narcissism

It's easy to meditate and manifest a million dollars but try 3-4 million the problem with manifesting a million dollars is you can see the million dollars but no one else can

Om Swami Om Swami is a monk and author of fifteen books including best-sellers like Kundalini: An Untold Story, A Million Thoughts, The Wellness Sense, When All Is Not Well, and If Truth Be Told: A Monk's Memoir. Swami was born in North India. In 2000, Swami graduated with a Bachelor of Business from University of Western Sydney and later, in 2002, acquired Master of Business Administration at University of Technology Sydney. Later he started a software business in Australia and expanded its operations to USA, Canada, UK and India over the next six years.He worked with various companies. Swami later moved back to India and acquired a healthcare company. On 15 March 2010, Swami renounced his material wealth[6] and left for his spiritual journey quietly. Heading straight to Kashi, he was initiated into the path of renunciation by a Naga saint in a little village some eighty kilometers away from Varanasi.[8] After spending four and a half months there, Swami left for the Himalayas where he spent the next thirteen months in intense meditation in complete isolation and solitude. During the days of his intense practice, he meditated for up to 22 hours every day including straight 10-hour stretches. Swami gives his own perspective on enlightenment in his book If Truth Be Told. "Enlightenment does not mean you have to live like a pauper. It does not mean you have to subject yourself to a life of hardship and abstinence.

Will come back to write a detailed review. Woohoo.... (12/11/2016) My review- 1- Swamiji, your books are definitely very informative and I believe that you can charge a little more for them than you are currently doing. 2- There are a few typos in this book. Please have them corrected. 3- If you had put few photographs of some handwritten notes on your experiences in this book it would have been wonderful. Please consider putting something like in this in your future books. 4- You mentioned that you practiced all the different types of meditation techniques mentioned in the book, a note to the reader on what to expect from each type, what you yourself have experienced would have been of great inspiration to the reader. 5- Perhaps you could also put a disclaimer about the results. You mentioned that someone meditating for 6 hours a day for 6 months is an intense meditator and will have intense results, and so on and so forth. I have meditated for the first 6 months for 5 hours a day and the second 6 months for 6 1/2 hours per day (2nd phase ending on 23rd Dec). In the third phase, I plan to increase to 8 hours per day. I have not seen any results. I am going to continue this way for few more years but I jut would like to mention that results are not guaranteed despite immense effort because of either past karmas or any of the many other reasons. Before I am told that meditation alone is not enough, I would like to mention that I fast every Monday, maintain verbal silence every Sunday, Feed animals daily morning and evening, donate to various organizations every month, donate blood every 3 months, and have sponsored the planting of over 160 trees, visit the temple once every week, have reduced my sleep and food quota in the first phase, reduced further in the second phase and will reduce even further in the third phase. I have been doing these things all my life but have done it more regularly and with great diligence for the past 1 year. In the next one year, If I see any results, any glimpses of life beyond this body and mind, I will come back here and post a brief paragraph confirming the same. Thank you. ____________________________ Sajeev 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 3 meditation books. Highly recommend! Reviewed in India on May 29, 2018 Verified Purchase I have read many books on meditation and would rate this among the top 3 books on meditation - the others being Pema Chodron's, "How to Meditate" and "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying". The main strengths of this books is that unlike some books which promote only one kind of meditation, Om Swami has explained all the different forms of meditation - from concentrative to contemplative, from focusing on breath, to chants, to self enquiry. This is extremely useful since different methods will appeal to different people and in the end meditation should not be about dogma - about following one method only but about letting the mind settle down, irrespective of the method involved. Om Swami also narrates various anecdotes related to meditation and spirituality, which makes it an informative and at times humorous read. Like he says always smile during meditation since there are enough things to frown about. The author also makes it a point to point out how meditation should be part of a holistic life and is meaningless if other factors like compassion, love, kindness etc are not present in day to day interactions. He has also included a worksheet to track your progress in meditation. Highly recommend!

The Hill https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/505048-alabama-mayor-resigns-after-controversial-black-lives-matters-facebook Alabama mayor resigns after controversial Black Lives Matter Facebook posts An Alabama mayor resigned after controversial Facebook posts about the University of Alabama’s football team and its posts backing the Black Lives Matter movement. Carbon Hill, Ala., Mayor Mark Chambers reportedly turned in his resignation letter on Saturday, though the town has yet to approve it, according to several local news reports. An emergency meeting is scheduled for Wednesday. The resignation letter came on the same day that Chambers posted on Facebook that he was selling “several” pictures, saying that the Alabama football team and head coach Nick Saban are “done in my opinion,” according to AL.com. ADVERTISEMENT In response to a person’s comment about the team’s performance, Chambers said, “I’m not getting rid of them because of how they have performed. Their sorry ass political views is why their [sic] getting out of my house.” To another comment, he responded, “When you put Black lives before all lives they can kiss my ass.” Chambers’s Facebook post came two days after Alabama Football tweeted out a two-minute video that included players and Saban reading an essay by offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood. The essay included the sentence, “All lives can’t matter until black lives matter.”

"Well... people's notion of life-transforming is of course highly subjective. Those who are well-suited to it will get a lot more juice out of it. Exponentially more. Like 100x more. So that can explain that. Personally I'm not well-suited to it. My mind is hyper creative non-stop.Meditation is best for people with weak minds " --Leo Gura source of quote page 2> What if we've all been had to some extent? What if meditation is largely the emperor's new clothes? Are we pretending it leads to insights but it is basically zoning out on nothingness, getting high but with no content. Is it hype to get people to follow other people and sell classes where the teacher speaks for 10 minutes and then people sit for 30 minutes doing absolute nothing, virtually no supplies necessary but for some cushions? Is the wisdom intellectually constructed after the mediation is over ? ^ He's a philosopher too. You can see the problem here. You spend time reading books and processioning ideas and then it is suggested the wisdom comes from sitting around, wasting an hour of time sitting and doing nothing. And after you do this you dont wind up with much that is useful wisdom that is any different from what other people have said for hundreds of years. It's not creative and is not supposed to be. Creativity is about imagining things, building castles of ideas in the mind while meditation is about emptying your mind of imagination and thoughts in general. You can be mindful of thoughts but you just note them dismissively as distractions. You are trying to not be reactive to them and not engage in trying to mentally solving problems or come up with new ideas. You could be spending an hour to write down ideas, integrating other ideas with your own perspective and maybe coming up with something new or a new perspective, instead you're supposed to sit there and do nothing and pretend it's something. Sure 20 minutes can be stress relief but is it really anything more? And if you force yourself to do it routinely sometimes it's even painful and boring, not always tranquil. What if Beethoven or Einstein had gotten into meditation? Would they have zoned out and emptied their mind and not have given us what they gave us?

6/28/2020 Pence finally says wear a mask But will his boss say it and will either of them actually do it? Video appears to show Trump campaign removing social-distancing stickers in Tulsa The Washington Post published the video, which it says shows Trump campaign workers methodically removing the stickers from seats at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The labels read “Do Not Sit Here, Please!” and had been placed there by the venue in order to minimize the risk of Covid-19 infection. The Post said the Trump campaign directed the removal of the stickers, against the wishes of the management of the 19,000-seat arena where the 20 June rally was held as part of Trump’s re-election campaign.

Billboard quoted Doug Thornton – a senior executive at the firm that owns the BOK Center – as saying: “They also told us that they didn’t want any signs posted saying we should social distance in the venue.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/workers-removed-thousands-of-social-distancing-stickers-before-trumps-tulsa-rally-according-to-video-and-a-person-familiar-with-the-set-up/2020/06/27/f429c3be-b801-11ea-9b0f-c797548c1154_story.html

America is going Brazil. Trump doesn't wear a mask and multi-millions of Americans refuse to as well. "Flattening the curve" is over. I think America is too divided to do what Europe has done with mitigation. Many of the people who are against the mask wearing are probably going to be against taking a vaccine also. I think we are headed toward a herd immunity scenario. I'm wondering what the body count is going to look like
