Greenland has a population of approximately 57,000 people and they are sitting on a land with valuable resources and a strategic location. In a capitalistic worldview where corporations have an absolute right to plunder resources, it is hard to see how they are going to escape. Is Trump an anomaly or has he been hired by the OCGFC to implement policies that expand their power and control?

The Iranian foreign ministry has suggested that Saudi Arabia is involved in the protests, although there is no direct evidence to support that. -

It’s interesting that Vivekananda’s writings emphasis rational thought. He sounds like a dry Western philosopher. I have been to the Vedanta Society and it has the feel of a protestant church service. But Vivekanda himself was an off the charts mystic at the same level as Yogananda. But he understood Western culture and only gave them what they could handle. When you see how Yogananda is ridiculed, it is easy to see the wisdom of his strategy. -

Keep in mind that everything you see in Western media is propaganda designed to sell a particular narrative furthering the aims of the state. "Both America & Israel Have Officially Announced Direct Involvement in Iranian Disturbances’ – FM Araghchi ‘They are trying to turn these peaceful protests and demonstrations into violence and chaos,’ he noted. Araghchi cited a tweet from former CIA director Mike Pompeo which said that ‘Mossad agents were walking alongside Iranians in the streets.’" https://x.com/i/status/2009663959125856386 -

Yogananda also said that Jesus appeared to him confirming that his teachings in "The Second Coming of Christ" was correct. -

It’s clear that the Trump administration is intentionally provoking violence. They want a response that they can exploit with their propaganda machine, some say, in order to have an excuse to suspend elections. Trump is losing popularity fast. A better approach is to focus on regaining political power and then have real accountability. All of the criminals of this administration have to be prosecuted and forced to account for their crimes. Everything needs to be documented. -

Yoganandra went into mahasamadhi and according to a notarized letter from the mortuary director of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, his body showed no signs of decay for weeks afterwards. -

I have studied Yoganandra’s SRF lessons. His basic message is to develop an intense longing to know God. He also has a lot of techniques like Kriya yoga. If you are a Bakti yogi, it could be a good fit. -

Shahid has his biases like everyone else. I think he is one of the best political commentators on the Internet, but I encourage skepticism to get closer to the truth. -

Shahid Bolsen has an interesting take on this. It's not the way it looks. -
I read in the news that Venezuela’s interior minister name is “Diosdado Cabello”. “Diosdado” means “god given” in Spanish. I immediately noticed the similarity to “Devadatta” which is Sanskrit for “God given” and was the name of the conch of Arjuna in the Bhagavada Gita. It always amazes me the similarities between Sanskrit and the other Indo-European languages.

I have studied the Self Realization Fellowship lessons which are based on his writings. I find a lot of the writing to be fuzzy language and not precise or particularly illuminating. But maybe that is just how Bakti Yoga works. Did Jesus really walk on water? -
That last time it took France a few weeks to surrender to Germany. The Germans need to throw off the shackles imposed after World War II and rearm for the sake of Europe.

The European Union won’t work as a governing body. There are too many chiefs. That’s why the United States chose a federal government over a confederacy. The only solution is that Germany needs to take control of Europe. Europe needs to be one entity because it now has two powerful enemies: Russia and the United States. There is now an imminent likelihood that European territory, Greenland, will be invaded and occupied through force by the United States.

If Greenland wants to fight for their independence, they need to be digging in now and preparing for a long occupation. -

Does anyone really think this is a case of Trump going rogue, or is this a deliberate action approved by the controllers of global capital? Is Trump a lone wolf or actually carrying out a well crafted plan approved by the billionaires? Is anyone else sick of being deceived? The elephant in the room here is China. America is losing power and has no choice but to contract into its regional space. America first was always a con job as many of the MAGA idiots have now come to realize. -
Germany needs to rearm itself and get some nuclear weapons.

That presupposes that the United States has the power to never let Taiwan go. -

Now the United States can't complain when China takes Taiwan. -

If you follow the model of scientific materialism, it is actually non dualistic. A group of objects in the universe aggregate together and become aware. That small part of the universe is the universe being aware of itself. That small part of the universe is you – the seer. Since the objects are aware of the objects of the universe, the seer and seen are one. Hence nonduality. That conclusion comes from the scientific model plus the basic observation that we are aware. The materialistic philosopher says that since all is objects (or material), the seer doesn’t exist. But the seer does exist. Rather than do real philosophy, the materialists take the lazy way out and call the seer an epiphenomenon. Hence, they casually dismiss what is most intimate to their own experience. The ancient rishis found that the truth can only be realized beyond the intellectual mind. The Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers were closer to the views of the Indian rishis in the pursuit of truth through experiential realization beyond the intellectual mind. Academic philosophy has gone backwards building complicated technical models rather than serious inquiry into what is important. -

PSIP stands for Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy. It is a relatively new, body-centered therapeutic modality developed by Saj Razvi, a licensed psychotherapist and researcher, primarily at the Psychedelic Somatic Institute in Colorado. PSIP believes that much of the root cause of trauma is stored non-cognitively in the autonomic nervous system (the body), rather than primarily in narrative memory or the thinking brain. The therapy uses sub-anesthetic (mild to moderate) doses of cannabis (usually smoked or vaporized) or ketamine to relax the nervous system's defenses, allowing repressed traumatic material to surface spontaneously from the body in the form of physical sensations, emotions, images, or memories — without the client having to "talk about" or cognitively process the trauma in advance. In his whitepaper, Razvi makes several interesting observations. He believes that low doses of cannabis can be more effective than higher powered psychedelics, such as psilocybin. In his protocol, therapeutic guidance is a key feature. It’s the relational interaction with a therapeutic guide in the psychedelic state which heals. This model also shifts the psychedelic session away from the transcendent, mystical, and cosmic to the human and relational. In order for higher powered psychedelics to be useful, it is first necessary to heal the mind and body with lower powered psychedelics. “This bypassing of a wounded, underdeveloped ego into mystical states yields experiences that are difficult to integrate into that still unhealed ego. This can lead to peak experiences of liberation, peace, and beauty that are un-integrable into waking consciousness and lead to a need to repeatedly visit transpersonal states.” - whitepaper I am interested in this model, because I have found it to be true with my own experience. The high powered psychedelics don’t result in long term change, whereas, for me, cannabis is becoming the most useful medicine.

The world has a collective shadow that wants to keep you in ignorance. You will find this when you start to ascend in consciousness. People you know will start to reject you or even feel threatened. At some point, you may need to go into solitude. You need the grace of God to escape the mass delusion. -

I have been looking into it. I have been told that after a few days you start having hallucinations. I would carefully consider one's psychological makeup and whether you are comfortable with reaching some deep places while totally alone. -
I stretch every day. I also go to a yoga class several times a week. Yoga made me realize how stiff I was since there are postures that twist the limbs of the body in unusual ways. Yoga also strengthens, twists the spine in numerous ways, and improves balance.
