Escape From Duality
A Course In Manipulation
Not Separate.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Escape From Duality</strong></p>
<p>Only in perception can one escape from duality. Moving from perception to Oneness comes from allowing Divine order to manifest without any interference from your ego. A chaotic and stressful being succumbs to the distractions of perception. Go within and relax in the peace and stillness. It is there that the reality of your Divine purpose is given through the grace of God. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>
<p><strong>A Course In Manipulation</strong></p>
<p>If you are unsure of your life and want an escape, may I suggest A Course In Manipulation (ACIM). It will describe to you how everything is an illusion and whatever we do doesn&#8217;t really matter; except to us and our perceptions. By realizing that nothing &lsquo;unreal&#8217; really exists we come to an understanding that nothing real can ever be threatened. As a result, we discover the peace of God. Only the spirit is real and all perceptions of the perceived dualistic reality are illusions and don&#8217;t really matter. I can agree with this in a spiritual sense, but not in a practical one. By removing the focus from the majesty of ALL creation we are being subtly manipulated away from the reality of creation. We are being sold a bill of goods based on someone else&#8217;s perceptions of &lsquo;non-duality&#8217;. Go within and experience the beauty and peace of the Divine every day and bring that peace with you when you pay the electric bill, the rent and buy groceries. Try not to convince any of them that they can provide their services and products without you paying for them; after all, it really doesn&#8217;t matter. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>
<p><strong>Not Separate</strong></p>
<p>Knowing yourself means that you come to an understanding that you are NOT separate from the Divine. It means that you operate within HIS (Highest Infinite Spirit) creation from His grace with love and peace. You share love with all to create the joy of health, wealth, prosperity and abundance. When one becomes defensive about their perceptions of &lsquo;reality&#8217; as to whether it is an illusion or not, it reveals that they are purposefully separating themselves from the Creator. Denying the majesty of creation is further separation from God. Go ahead, make your day by remaining in your closet while the reality of life grows and expands around you. Believe in what someone else told you is reality and don&#8217;t experience it yourself by sharing the wisdom from deep within. The price you pay will be self-evident. Peace and blessings to you and may God bring you into an awareness of His undying and perpetual grace. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The author prepares for a mediation hearing in hopes to avoid a court scene. The emotions are high, but the court just wants the cold facts. She tried to comply with the rules and still promote her case in creative fashion by being herself.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/27/ladywalkdog_1.gif" alt="" width="79" height="160" /></p>
<p>I didn&rsquo;t want to keep thinking about this for 3 months plus. I may be obsessed.&nbsp; The title of this story could then be &ldquo;eccentric older lady drags young punk into court for charging her for car labor that didn&rsquo;t take place and also driving her to the bank to extract cash for work that didn&rsquo;t occur because he was pissed the old lady was getting away from his clutches.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m slow to anger but once I get started I can become explosive with rage that has lasted on this earth for centuries; As Mr. Tolle says, it&#8217;s the pain body of women so it&#8217;s hardly even personal in that respect and yet I feel it and cannot deny it. It&#8217;s the pain body of women because it&#8217;s women who get took the most because of lack of knowledge of their car, when they take it in for a repair. I know I have to direct the anger into determinism.</p>
<p>That doesn&rsquo;t mean it&rsquo;s easy. This morning before the coffee kicked in I tried to find a place where it hurts the most. I seem to be getting more emotional this last week as a mediation session looms up on the 29th. Then I shall have to see his face again and I would rather not, nor his lawyer&rsquo;s face whom has to defend this hoodlum. For hoodlum behind a desk is what he is, and no matter how I try to find his innocence, it remains invisible to me, other than the dream image I was given of him shows the man to be the equivalent of a 9-year-old boy in a 30ish body.<br /><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/27/brokenvase_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="360" /><br />Back to the place it hurts the most; no it wasn&rsquo;t the fact that I was made into a fool by being fooled. As this so called spiritual person I thought I was, I find myself thinking I am not all that spiritual. It represents some kind of loss, of self image perhaps. Nobody would believe me and I don&rsquo;t even believe myself, that a spiritual person, call it initiate, whatever, could and would drag an unconscious younger soul into a court room.</p>
<p>The only reason I could and would is that he too needs a wakeup call.<br />Back to the pain of it all. The pain will go away. Someday I will forget it was there. Emotions go away. Sometimes you&rsquo;re up, sometimes you&rsquo;re down. Such is life. Time after time, through the voice of a lawyer, my &ldquo;boy&rdquo; tries to find his innocence. Are those who sleep innocent of crime? Or are they just asleep?</p>
<p>So, too, I must watch out for myself first for I was the one who sleep walked into a car repair shop; the awakening was rude for me. Just as if a car horn had blasted your eardrum while dreaming a pleasant dream of walking through tulips.</p>
<p>Ok, I&rsquo;m awake now I shout to the sky, will somebody please turn off the waterworks behind my eyes. I study the pain of being helpless, of being not respected, despite I thought I was so nice and spiritual, and couldn&rsquo;t all see my divinity within, most people do.<br />Because I thought, most people see my divinity, because I am nearly always seeing theirs. There is unity and oneness around and about, just not in this particular repair shop I wandered into. First in a dream, then the next day in reality.</p>
<p>So it was fate I muttered under my breath. I do not like fated experiences. Something says, ah, but it doesn&rsquo;t matter what you like sometimes. Or don&rsquo;t like. You have to deal with it.</p>
<p>On the 29th I&rsquo;ll deal with it, with others dealing with it with me. And the mediation may not be successful and so then a court date will occur, and I&rsquo;ll have to keep living with this burden for another month or so.<br /><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/27/lightindarkness_1.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="194" /><br />Oh well, nobody promised me a rose garden here. Something tells me to just be myself and stop worrying about how things will turn out.<br />So I will try that, but I thought I was just being myself when I got conned and had my thoughts manipulated by the young man who believes he is so upstanding.</p>
<p>I cannot be emotional in court. I know that. So I will just read my statement, point for point, and if I&rsquo;m the only one waking up and smelling the coffee than so be it. The courtroom perhaps becomes a place for &ldquo;discovery, and disclosure upon disclosure until you get blue in the face.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve learned all this legal technical language that I really didn&rsquo;t want to learn. I learned it in one sense just to try and figure out what happened those 4 days of interaction with the shop. I had to find labels for it and to some extent I did. A term called constructive fraud leaped out at me from the legal files. I grabbed it and ran with it. It didn&rsquo;t change the facts of what happened, but no matter how you label something, the law says it&rsquo;s still fraud, whether actual or constructive.</p>
<p>Constructive fraud is you would think, a constructive act. Where you build on something to turn it into something else. Constructive fraud was said to occur from a lie of omission, a thing called low balling an estimate, then when they have the keys to your car, the estimate gets quite a bit higher as the days turn into more days.<br />The shop repair scam artists have to rely on the customer not researching the problem on today&rsquo;s internet, where information of whatever kind you need is there at your fingertips.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/27/walkintoputer_1.gif" alt="" width="272" height="40" /></p>
<p>It occurs to me boys and girls, we are in the internet age, as old as I am, and as traditional as I may sometimes be, even I know the internet age is a new age for us all.<br />In many ways I have blamed the internet for being so mechanical, such a platform for any filthy mouth, or any gossip and back biting. Yet I stand before you now, I might say to the court, to say someone on the internet saved my life by explaining in the greatest detail my exact car problem, on the same exact model of car I have. That is not exactly coincidental to have found this information. All I did was type in Google &ldquo;Broken Drain plug, BMW&rdquo;, and there it was, I looked to see if my name was there, as the car was also the same year as mine. That&rsquo;s when my mind was blown over yonder somewhere, as there was an easy fix for my problem.</p>
<p>Now I had to get the car away from the shop. They were not going to make it easy to walk away. I felt like I was walking unto a stage. A stage all set up to look like a reputable repair shop.<br />A place where you go in for a routine oil change and end up mentally wrestling the shop proprietor for the keys while the tow truck driver waits impatiently in the back ground. For there&rsquo;s no oil in your pan now, no plug, and you have to tow the sucker to another mechanic who actually knows his stuff.</p>
<p>At least you got lucky, you found your special mechanic. Thinking positive while all this is going on is not easy but I must have had protection that day, and I don&rsquo;t think it was my usual spiritual, we are one state of mind being experienced. The best I can describe it, is like a set up, where you just came to play your role. The shop guy played his role well, but it was a bad part, even to the mouth twitching with greed as he counted the bills I handed over, which would make me short the rest of the month, as now I was going to pay this other mechanic for the proper work to be done.</p>
<p>I was already patting myself on the back for a job well done, through my internet research. However, panic attacks were occurring the day before I towed the car away as it was almost too late to back out and you have to get over your guilt feelings that you slept through all the signals given off, that something was wrong here.</p>
<p>The price of getting a little respect is very high. It&rsquo;s called seeking legal means and making the scales of justice swing even. If you start it, you have to finish it.<br />I hope it&rsquo;s all over after the 29th of the month. I&rsquo;ve been treating, and moving my feet very fast. <br />1) Treat<br />2) Move your feet</p>
<p>As life proceeds in 2012, look for the changes in our society, or even world wide, for we shall see these changes as we look for them, and they will be positive changes. For one thing, people will start to stand up and be counted and they may fight for justice or just let another do the fight for them, but they won&rsquo;t bury their heads in the sand anymore, and they will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth without having to swear on a bible even. The truth will set us all free. And I will be free too, I will smile again. You have to be careful who you smile at, you have to be very, very careful. <img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/27/iamsmiling_1.gif" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></p>

A &#8216;Me&#8221; Agenda
Be Specific
What Is Evil?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A &lsquo;Me&#8221; Agenda</strong></p>
<p>One of my friends just said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll take care of my family and you take care of yours, I won&#8217;t ask you to do my job, please don&#8217;t ask me to do yours. If you can&#8217;t take care of a family, please don&#8217;t have one.&#8221; On the surface, this is true. However, when your financial existence and stability is predicated on the greedy and underhanded actions of ruthless and unscrupulous people, the truth needs to be further examined. Let&#8217;s examine the whole truth. Let&#8217;s not ship jobs overseas so that cheap products can be sold to us that don&#8217;t have the same value and longevity as products made here. Our politicians and corporate executives have sold us out for their own gain. When our representatives and our biggest suppliers screw us, the argument presented above has a completely different tone. People who have families and mortgages have lost their homes believing in the American dream that was sold out to profit and the bottom line. Ruthless and greedy people with a &#8216;me&#8217; agenda. We can best serve others by educating people to seek balance and order instead of manipulation to satisfy their greed. It&#8217;s not just about America and the people here; it&#8217;s about ALL of us. We should live within our means and our means are determined by our social and economic progress. When our own people sell us out for the bottom line, the whole world hurts; not just America! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>
<p><strong>Be Specific</strong></p>
<p>The general essence of being vague is being quite specific in your ambiguities. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Evil?</strong></p>
<p>What is evil? It is something morally wrong or bad, wicked or characterized by the expression of evil deeds. It is described as something that is harmful or injurious usually accompanied by states of misfortune or suffering. It is a state believed to occur outside of oneself from &lsquo;other&#8217; forces that create misfortune and disastrous conditions. It is due to the actual or imputed bad conduct or character of a person marked by anger, irritability, irascibility, ultimately affecting a person&#8217;s disposition [dictionary.com]. Is it a belief or a state? It is a state that results from the belief in its condition. There are many people that can be described as psychopathic, sociopathic or just downright evil. But how did they get this way? Their behavior is a result of what they observe in their world and what they believe they have to do to live within in it. It is based on an attitude of fear that their ego experiences. They have to control, dominate and manipulate everything in their environment to affect selfish changes based on greed and an attitude and perception of lack and limitation. Evil is a result of a complete attitude of separation from all of creation. It is more concerned with &lsquo;me&#8217; than with &lsquo;us&#8217;. Pray for those who are lost in this state but don&#8217;t allow them to affect your state. Put them in their place by standing firm on who you are, how you need to be treated and what they need to do in order to exist in peace with you. If they reject what you demand, then remove yourself from their egotistically perceived sphere of influence. If they come after you, allow their anger and desire to hurt you pass through you without their attitude of &lsquo;evil&#8217; to affect you. This will discharge their negative energy and their perceived control over you and create a state of grace and peace within you that protects you with a shield of love. Evil cannot exist in the light of love. It ALWAYS seeks the darkness because that is where it can deceive and confuse the seekers of truth. Remove yourself from evil&#8217;s projection by accepting the grace of God to create the peace within you to live in an ongoing state of love, honor and respect. It is your choice to allow evil to exist in your life or squelch its perceived power over you. Trust God to guide you to a state of realization where evil no longer has any hold over you. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>
<p><strong>My prayer for YOU:</strong> Make the time each and every day to go within and feel the presence of the Spirit of God. Be the co-creator you are by living in the now. Give of yourself to others and experience the avalanche of love from the Divine bringing you health, wealth prosperity and abundance. It is your birthright to live in joy, peace and understanding each and every day of your life. Peace, joy, understanding and love be with you always! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An investigation of a major theme present throughout Irvin Morris' novel, From the Glittering World.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the major themes that are reflected throughout <i>From The Glittering World</i> is identity. One scene that portrays the theme of identity very well is when the main character&#8217;s college roommate, Steve, overhears him talking about the Native American Church. Steve is interested and wants to visit the reservation when the main character goes back home. Before this point, the main character has never spoken about the Native American Church to anybody outside the reservation because he believes that the Bilaga&aacute;na world and the Navajo world are never meant to mix in that manner. Now he is faced with the daunting task to mediate the mixing of the two major portions of his life, his off the reservation bilaga&aacute;na-like life and his Navajo life. When they arrive at the reservation a ceremony is set to commence that night and Steve is able to witness a side of the main character that he has never seen before. Steve is able to see the main character&#8217;s religious Navajo identity that he has been trying to keep separate from the identity that Steve has grown to know.</p>
<p>In the passage looked at above the main character struggles to find his own identity as he is splitting his time between the Bilaga&aacute;na culture and the Navajo culture. He tries to create two separate but equal identities. One identity, his Bilaga&aacute;na-like identity, he uses when he is off the reservation interacting with almost entirely non-navajo people. The other he maintains for when he returns to the comforts of the reservation and the Navajo culture. This passage clearly demonstrates the struggle that the main character faces as his inability to maintain two separate identities cause them to clash as he brings his bilaga&aacute;na roommate back to the reservation to witness the Navajo ceremony that is taking place. The fact that no large problems or difficulties arise during Steve&#8217;s visit to the reservation alludes to the fact that the main character&#8217;s Bilaga&aacute;na identity and his Navajo identity will eventually be able to mesh into a unique identity that he will be able to call his own.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An investigation of the use of two stylistic elements used throughout Irvin Morris' novel, From the Glittering World.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Irvin Morris uses a style of narrative voice in which the narrator is never singled out to be one specific character during the story. Although the narrator identifies most closely with the main character, at times the narrator is displaced from the main story-line and continues to bring the same sort of reflection and knowledge of the situations at hand. For instance, when the main character finally sees other Navajo in California, the narrator is able to convey all the emotions that the main character feels such as jealousy, loneliness and a slight regret for leaving. The same narrator is also able to convey the ideology of the Navajo people through the depiction of the creation story as well as the story about the Peripatetic Coyote. The narrator is able to know everything about the main character such as thoughts, emotions and religious ideology but at the same time maintain the feeling of a separate entity. This ability to have an all knowing narrator creates the feeling that the life story that is laid out in <i>From The Glittering World</i> is not a set of unique occurrences but instead is something that all young Navajo go through at this time.</p>
<p><i>From The Glittering World</i> also uses a great deal of historical allusions throughout the book which reminds the reader that it is more than a mere fictional story, but is a tale rooted in reality.&nbsp; One of the historical occurrences that the story alludes to is the displacement of many Navajo people from their sacred lands. This can be seen in earlier stages of the story when the narrator depicts the standoff as the Navajo try to stay in their holy lands while the Bilaga&aacute;na relentlessly attack those who do not submit. It is also alluded to when the Bilaga&aacute;na force the Navajo to take the grueling march to Fort Sumner, far away from their homelands. Alongside these allusions the mass genocide of the Navajo during this period is alluded to as well. Later in the story the narrator also alludes to the Vietnam war when the main character is taken from his Grandmother&#8217;s home and forced to join the fighting. The use of these historical allusions allows us to maintain an essence of reality as well as a relative timeline while reading through this fictional tale.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Just as water will blast through a crack in a tank, so your desire will come to you through the channel that is easiest for you to believe in. This is the path of least resistance. Resisting that channel will mess your receiving vibration, but an understanding of what is happening will help you stay thankful.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Law of Least Resistance is that amazing ability of the Universe to find ways to bring things in your direction through channels that you would never have thought about &ndash; ever. Of course, that is not the definition from <a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/deepak-chopra/the-law-of-least-effort" target="_blank">important teachers of our time</a>. My intention here is not to refute their definitions either, for I am sure they know a lot know about the Law of Attraction. They are familiar with it and therefore teach how to allow conscious creations to come into the physical. </p>
<p>Yet, no matter how much the Law of Attraction is taught, there will be little quirks that can stump the newcomer. Left unnoticed, they will turn one into a surly frustrated bag of unfulfilled dreams. For you see, disillusionment can cause great and deep hurts to the inner being. The room where you perform dream-murder, is if in your heart you stand in deliberate protest about the channel the Universe chooses to bring your dream through. </p>
<p>I suspect highly that this transition is worse for people who have a Christian background, such as I do, because we come into the knowledge of the Laws of Life from a position of expecting miracles. The whole concept of expecting miracles teaches that, by prayer and deep supplication, one can avert the Laws of Life. One common one especially in main-line Pentecostal paintings of ongoing ruckus and competition between God and satan, is praying against natural disasters. </p>
<p>The believing soul should be able to arise and put a stop to all natural disasters. The believing soul should be able to pray and halt all road accidents, disease, deformities, and the wicked deeds of satan on earth and through human beings, failure to which, we care not because we are not even meant to be here. We are headed some place else! Once the awakening soul starts to question the sense in that approach, a new dawn emerges. However, the transition from illogical to logical and Pure Love can be tough! </p>
<p>The Universe flows in Laws of Life that favor life and the unadulterated sustainability of it. One of the most consistent Laws is the Law of Least Resistance. The Law of least resistance kicks in to bring your asking to you if your asking is strong enough to <a href="http://relijournal.com/christianity/now-i-know-god-as-the-perfect-and-never-failing-laws/" target="_blank"><strong>manifest into physical form</strong></a>. However, that asking will come to you through any channel that is comfortably available until such a time as you build new channels that are comfortably available. </p>
<p>An illustration I once came across described manifestation as a hosepipe. If you think of a hosepipe; think mainly of the hosepipe as the ones used by fire fighters. Picture that hosepipe as it is thrown to the ground, lying flat and lifeless, and stretching from the fire engine to the building. Once it is long enough from the engine, picture it as the water is opened from the engine. The water slowly starts to open up the pipe, making it rounder, and more turgid, until eventually it is tight from the pressure and it can spew water across a great distance. </p>
<p>Manifestation is the same. Let us say for instance that you have never had much money flowing into your life through a business. You will find that at first, when you start to envision more money, the manifestation will come through your employment situation. This can be very hurting and frustrating especially if you are working hard on your business, but money is not coming in through that channel, but you get a raise, or a bonus at work. It hurts! Why does this thing seem to work for others but not for me? </p>
<p>That is the Law of least resistance at work. You already know how to receive money from employment, and therefore the Universe will bring the money you have asked for strongly through that path. Is that not a contradiction? No! You asked for money, not for the channel! Just as water will blast through a crack in a tank, so the money will come in through the area where money can easily flow through to you. This is the path of least resistance! Can you now see how resisting that channel will mess your receiving vibration? </p>
<p>So then, how do you act from there? You keep building the business channel, keep developing the pipe, keep strengthening your vision. Do not stop halfway across the lawn because the pipe is flat. No! Build the picture, become a person receiving money through business in your mind. Strengthen the path for receiving money through a business by thinking and perfecting your vibration. This is the time to hold onto your desire and to build on it. It is a logical process. Things are working!</p>
<p>As you continue, all the while appreciating the perfect working of the Laws, a trickle of money starts to flow through the pipe, and the business pipe starts to take shape, and fill, and become turgid, and soon the business can pass a great deal of money. In time the pressure of your money flow will be strong enough to spurt and put off fires or do whatever it is you wanted your money for. The Laws of Life never fail, the money you desire to come through business, shall surely come! It is Law!&nbsp;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Excerpted from the book &#8216;Spiritual Growth&#8217; by Dean A. Banks, D.D. - What does it mean to focus on a desired outcome? Does it mean that you attach yourself to that outcome no matter what? Or does it mean that you develop the fogged determination to accomplish your goal no matter what befalls you. Anything that is worthy in your life must be done with an unfaltering faith and trust in the Divine. Without those key ingredients, you are just treading water.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dogged determination. What does that mean? In most cases it is an unwavering focus on a desired outcome. It doesn&#8217;t mean that you sometimes don&#8217;t have any doubts and feel like throwing in the towel; it means that when you do you still &#8220;press on&#8221; toward your goal. It means that you still hear the negative chatter in your head but you take a stance and reject the perceived outcomes it reveals. Bias begins within each one of us. It is something that we are taught and sometimes accept as true without even knowing why, or worse, caring why. The story of Vivien Thomas comes to mind. I saw an HBO film about him in 2004 and shared it my fianc&eacute; last Saturday. Amidst the feelings of anger and a hope for fairness and recognition, we ended up with tears in our eyes by the end of the movie.</p>
<p>Vivien Thomas was a person who was a skilled craftsman. He was recognized as such but was let go at his job. He took on a job at a medical research facility in Nashville, TN tending the dogs that were used in the experiments. He applied his skills as a carpenter to help the doctor with surgeries on the dogs. His hands were steady and his mind was focused. The doctor recognized his skill as a perfectionist. This is where Vivien learned how to feel his way through the body during surgery. He would often close his eyes so he could feel better. Later on, this technique would astound other surgeons.</p>
<p>After Vivien lost his life savings in the bank crash in 1930, he paralleled his own career along with Doctor Blalock&#8217;s career. He accompanied Dr. Blalock to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. He was classified as a &#8220;Lab Technician&#8221; but was only paid the same rate as the janitors. His anger brewed as he saw his research and discoveries being recognized as the work of Dr. Blalock. He channeled his anger inward and used it to become more determined to create the tools that would be needed to help in the surgeries of blue babies. At one point, Vivien left Dr. Blalock because he accepted full credit for the discoveries, acknowledging the &#8220;white&#8221; doctors without giving any credit to Vivien. Vivien then hawked antacids for a while until he realized that it was more important for him to complete the work he started with Dr. Blalock than to succumb to his desire for recognition and equal pay. He made the goal of helping others more important than his goals.</p>
<p>Vivien chose to &#8220;press on&#8221;, even though the prejudice against him seemed insurmountable. During the first surgery on a blue baby, Dr. Blalock stopped the surgery and sent for Vivien to help guide him through the procedure. Another doctor told Vivien to &#8220;attend to his duties&#8221; and Dr. Blalock told the other doctor that he was &#8220;attending to his duties.&#8221; The pompous, arrogant and prejudicial attitude of others didn&#8217;t stop Vivien from performing his duties. He assisted and trained Dr. Blalock and other surgeons and he never attended medical school. He had talent, genius and educated himself. All of that wasn&#8217;t enough to elevate his social status. Vivien was eventually recognized for his work after Dr. Blalock died. He was given an honorary doctorate from Johns Hopkins and his likeness now hangs in the entrance hall next to Dr. Blalock&#8217;s. His dogged determination is why. I suggest your rent the movie &#8220;Something the Lord Made.&#8221; It&#8217;s very inspirational.</p>
<p>Vivien faced prejudice, rejection and the negative attitudes of those less talented than him and channeled his emotions toward the ultimate goal of saving lives. He was determined to be the best he could be amidst his rise from a carpenter in the old south to a surgeon that pioneered a procedure that saved the lives of many children. That is dogged determination. It is the spirit of God within each one of us that knows the gifts and blessings that God has given us and refuses to let others tell us what we can or cannot do with our lives. Listen to that spirit. It is your guide to the life of your dreams.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long time of observing the mentioned phenomena, i feel free to join all those sceptics that i have been convincing they were wrong for years.<br />First of all, we are people and it&#8217;s natural to question, upgrade or completely abandon our believes.</p>
<p><u><strong>Indigo children are here to save the world.</strong></u></p>
<p>How? How many years will pass until they realize what their purpose is and to find out that mysterious mission they are searching for before they begin anything. What if they never find it?</p>
<p>I can agree on one thing, and that is the fact that everyday there are more and more young people interested in taboo themes. There are more atheists/agnostics then ever before, and it&#8217;s so clear that it stopped being just a teenage rebel, because they are leaving adolescence with the same opinion. </p>
<p><u><strong>ADD/ADHD? No, my kid is an indigo child.</strong></u></p>
<p>Disrespectful, naughty or disordered children got a new name today. Indigo! Don&#8217;t you think your looking for an excuse? Well, think again. Yes, we do learn about a lot of unnecessary things in school, but your child is not the only one who finds it boring. If indigo children are so special why are there so much of them?<br />In every classroom, on every work place there is at least one person who feels down, who is absued in some way. So neither you or your child are special. Every thought, opinion, style, way of life you think makes you special, does not. There are so many people in the world who share the same.</p>
<p><u><strong>My Aura&#8217;s color is indigo.<br /></strong></u><br />Who told you that? An indigo teenager or an Internet quiz?<br />If you know anything about the indigo phenomena you won&#8217;t be able to answer those questions completely honest. We are people and it&#8217;s natural that we always want to be better then others, if someone claims different, he is lying.<br />Overcoming your ego is an amazing thing, but very complicated to reach especially in teenage years.<br />If you in other hand don&#8217;t know anything about the indgos, then try to take that quiz couple of times. You will notice how the result changes according to your current mood</p>
<p><i>Believe in god, alah, sience, paranormal or anything else, but first of all believe that you are just a human being.</i></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Gay marriage has become an issue lately and both Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama have &#8216;come out&#8217; in support of civil unions and &#8216;gay marriage&#8217;. The media has made such a &#8216;hubbub&#8217; about something that is completely natural for some people and such an offense to others. Since when does the relationship of two adults adversely affect your own relationship choices? It only affects you when you choose to live by your ego instead of Divine love!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is marriage? Is it an &lsquo;institution&#8217;? Is it something ordained by God? Is it a &lsquo;religious&#8217; commitment? Or is it simply a public declaration of love for another human being? There are differences between the emotional and &lsquo;legal&#8217; versions of &lsquo;marriage&#8217;.</p>
<p>When two people are so satisfied with the love in their relationship and they decide they want to keep that love in their lives they opt for that commitment to sharing exclusively with each other. There is an emotional exchange that feeds both people and makes them feel fulfilled.</p>
<p>However, the legal version is somewhat different. They are now looked at by the state as one. They share property and finances are each held liable for one another. There are many ancillary functions of marriage that need to be addressed by both parties before they decide to make such a commitment.</p>
<p>Marriage, according to definition, is the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of two people to live as a married couple. There is nothing ever stated that it is a sanctity between a man and a woman EXCEPT in &lsquo;religious&#8217; practice. And since when is the religious practice of one of our many religions binding on EVERYONE?</p>
<p>According to the Bible, marriage was instituted in Paradise when &lsquo;man was in innocence&#8217;. Monogamy was the original law of marriage. In the patriarchal age, polygamy and concubinage became prevalent. Men were the masters of the marriage and women and children were chattel owned by the man. The man in the family made the choices for his sons and daughters in whom they would &lsquo;marry&#8217;. Gaining of favor through work and exchange of money would &lsquo;win&#8217; the hand in marriage of daughters and sons were also dedicated to a &lsquo;chosen&#8217; marriage. Paul furthered the &lsquo;institution&#8217; of marriage as being honorable (Heb. 13:4) and to represent the union between God and His &lsquo;people&#8217;. It was compared to the love of Christ to his saints (Eph. 5:25-27).</p>
<p>But what about people who don&#8217;t ascribe to the Bible and its tenets? Should they have to be bound by someone else&#8217;s backward thinking based on things that occurred over 2000 years ago? People have been homosexual since the beginning of the existence of people. It is what they feel they are and NO ONE has the right to treat them any differently based on their own standards. It is all &lsquo;whipping game&#8217; on someone who is considered &lsquo;different&#8217;. Let&#8217;s call it what it is; BULLYING!</p>
<p>Jon Stewart made an interesting comment about what Mitt Romney said concerning &lsquo;marriage is between a man and a woman&#8217;. He asked if it is still marriage if it&#8217;s a marriage between a man and 5 women, like Mitt&#8217;s grandfather enjoyed. Marriage has moved from monogamy to polygamy and back.</p>
<p>The Mormon&#8217;s instituted polygamy in Utah because when they arrived there, there were more women than men still alive. In order to propagate the &lsquo;species&#8217;, men needed to take on several wives. Yet again, MEN made that decision and NOT God! They claimed they were &lsquo;guided&#8217; to that decision by the Divine. This is interesting based on their philosophy that &lsquo;Elohim&#8217; impregnated Mary with &lsquo;Jesus Christ&#8217;. The origin of the &lsquo;Elohim&#8217; are the 7 spirits of God in the Torah; not one &lsquo;spirit&#8217; that impregnated Mary to have a son that was the brother of Lucifer.</p>
<p>Those who try to legislate what they &lsquo;feel&#8217; is their &lsquo;morality&#8217; on others are not coming from Divine love. They are coming from their EGOS!!! It is the ego&#8217;s attempt to control, dominate and manipulate others into behaving like them. Don&#8217;t allow the agendas of self-righteously indignant pious assholes inflict their agendas upon ANYONE who loves another human being. These people are the Pharisees. They ones who tried to trip up Jesus, but to no avail. He put them in their place each and every time. Why don&#8217;t you do the same? ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Adoration of persons remains to be widespread even on this 21st century. Leaders, Actors and other idolized persons</p>
<p>are still being adored or promoted and in many circumstances imposed upon nations to be forcefully adored all over the world.</p>
<p>In the fashionable and advanced world adoration is normally related to tremendous stars of movies or sports activities, but within the third world the story turns into extra vicious for it becomes an imposed policy on nations manifesting a demigod like figure inhibiting the minds of mostly impoverished folks imprisoned within a sphere of deprivation that pertains to the dark ages of humanity&hellip;</p>
<p>Regimes of third world international locations across the globe still instrumentally play a sensitive function in preservation of this inhumane act to serve their ordinance of clinching to power.</p>
<p>Take North Korea for a present and residing instance of how the ruling army regime managed to orchestrate the funeral and further exploit the dying of Kim Jong Il to serve their interest solely to retain their grip on energy, and I&#8217;m certain that one will discover many other international locations to suit into ones imagination that practices the same reverence of imposed dictators&nbsp; who in return turn into addicted to power and would go as far as committing all sorts of crimes towards humanity in the title of legislation and order and national safety&nbsp; starting from imprisonment to the killing of who ever terrorist dares to name for equality and freedom and some food on his table or in the mouth of his children for the sake of cementing their rule as if they will dwell without end&hellip;</p>
<p>Those unlucky protesters have become the notorious terrorists of our twenty first century humanity, yes this sick humanity that we belong to.</p>
<p>Indeed, we have to improvise higher and more practical strategies to uproot this resident evil if we are to free our specie from this ancient evil that lingered inherited memory ever since we took step one on this earth&hellip;</p>
<p>I for one believe that we reached this degree of degradation on account of our dissociation from spirituality and the only answer to treatment humanity from this historic virus is by selling spirituality yet one more time.</p>
<p>Yet one more time! That is because of the apparent proven fact that our sick humanity is having a right away unfavourable impression on our earth and the setting that affects our sustainability of healthy existence and therefore crucial survival for what&#8217;s coming upon us.</p>
<p>Is it an exaggeration to be alarmed and express such serious concern, or is it as befitting to name for a new awakening to rid our humanity from what may develop into an inevitable dissolution of our human legacy&hellip;</p>
<p>Be a part of our legion and become an advocate of spirituality by turning into a member of our community.</p>
