Trash in the Sea

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Fact: Most of the trash that makes up the Texas size pile in the Pacific is composed of trash from the gutters that lead to the oceans. How? Trash cans like this one. Once they over fill, they spill out on the streets and run into the gutters. If we all care a little more and pick up trash when we see it we can change this. Twelve billions eyes are plenty. Just more heart is needed. People first, then money, then things. Thanks Suze Orman.

Enjoyer or Sufferer

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Today in class, I spoke briefly about a lesson from the great spiritual book Bhagavad-Gita. Here is a an illustrative metaphor for the spirit, mind and body. “The self is thus the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and senses”. What this means is that we have a choice to have the body work for the soul or the soul work for the body. Without restraint, the senses will lead us into a self imposed slavery and addiction. With restraint, we can follow the mission of the soul without fruitless distration of the senses.

Hidden Truth

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Secret of Today:

I’m not myself when you’re around
I’m not myself standing in a crowd
I’m not myself and I don’t know how
I’m not myself, myself right now

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am

I’m not myself when you go quiet
I’m not myself alone at night
I’m not myself, don’t know who to call
I’m not myself at all

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too

I’m not myself when you’re around
I’m not myself when you go quiet
I’m not myself all alone at night
I’m not myself standing in a crowd
I’m not myself and I don’t know how
I’m not myself, myself right now
Don’t know what I believe

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Someone say if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you
