wich is the best wish to the one you love?

have a good life?
be satisfied?
have success?
have many friends?
enjoy themselves?
earn much money?

NO: THE BEST WISH IS "HAVE A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE"

If you can't wish this last thing it means that you love is not true at all.

Lorenzo.

~Nag Champa~

There's Josie and Bob, who live sorta across from me.

I don't think either of them have hit 65 yet---but it's begun to happen with them too.

They are catching the old fart disposition.

A year and a half ago, Bob and I met under stressful circumstances.

I lived here maybe two or three days, when I walked out my front door to run downstairs for a moment.

As I was watching myself close the front door, I realized that I didn't have my keys on me, and my hand wouldn't… Continue

The Most Intense & Influential Concerts...

I've ever witnessed are now listed (not exactly in order of importance) at:

http://ghosttownsound.blogspot.com/

"1. Altamont -December 1969, with my dog Gypsy-Rose in tow; Hells Angels whoop ass the crowd to music from Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Flying Burrito Brothers, Crosby, Stills & Nash, & Rolling Stones. Saw Mick blind-sidedly cold-cocked up close then carried backstage unconscious on stretcher as he attempted to go thru crowd just after arriving. Quite an… Continue

Daily Quote By Lynn Fishman

Unity is the key or code to an open heart and to translating the new frequencies that are coming through

"For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us."

Today's the Day to Fire The Grid

At 1919 Rio de Janeiro time tonight, or at 11:19p.m. in your time zone wherever you are on Earth, we shall Fire the Grid.

Whatever your dream, whatever your vision of shared humanity, it is worth projecting this into the ether for one hour to join with upwards of a million other souls in planetary meditation/ visualization/Om-ing/dancing/singing/ harmonizing or just plain pondering. It's worth a try.

For more information, see http://www.firethegrid.com - especially if you want… Continue

just an idea for ambiental salvation

I strongly belive that in order to arrest totally ambiental waste and fast climate changes, all goods should contain indications on their ambiental impact including the one for production, estimated maintenance / service and the impact on the final disposal / reutilization.

This control should include clothes, foods, electronic devices, and so on without regarding to their dimenions and shold be involve more third parts for trasparency.

Someway in many countries there's yet… Continue

Fillibuster and Congressional Bill "Trailers"

i'm somewhat unsure as to the actual history and need/motive for the concept and procedure of filibuster. i seem to recall it having something to do with protecting the political presence/“currency” of small(er) states. things get tweeked over time and depending on the needs of the tweekers regardless of political party. can anyone inform on this and then begin a conversation as to how we can eliminate the abuses? i think that might be a start in creating a more functional… Continue

Letter to Senator Feinstein Regarding the Clean Air Act

July 23, 2009

Dear Senator Feinstein

We were very disappointed to see where lobbyists for Big Coal were able to prevail in vital wording within the House energy bill. That wording repeals a key Clean Air Act provision; if passed as is that bill would lock in a new generation of dirty coal power and block many of the solar and wind power jobs that our country dearly needs.

While we realize that the bill does some good things, like improving energy efficiency, we… Continue

President Bush's Corrupt Immunity Protection for Drug Companies

We are very upset about the inclusion of immunity protection for drug companies at the last minute by select members of the Senate who claim to be “Patriots” or “Civil Servants.” Clearly, both the substance and methodology of that last minute inclusion belie a far different reality.

These provisions were slipped into the conference report at midnight on Sunday. After many Senators and House members had already signed the conference report, Majority Leader Frist and Speaker Hastert… Continue

Letter Supporting the Preservation of the Del Monte Forest

On June 14th the California Coastal Commission is meeting in Santa Rosa for a critical hearing that could decide the fate of one of the few remaining stands of coastal pine trees, the Del Monte Forest in the Carmel area. Unfortunately, perhaps, for these trees, the “intelligent designer” failed to realize the risks of putting them in an area where golf courses that would cater to the very rich and powerful try to rule the environment. Never mind the fact that such areas are “national… Continue

Letter to a Congressperson Regarding the Formation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency

Congressman Kevin McCarthy

1523 Longworth Building

Washington, DC 20515

July 10, 2009

Congressman McCarthy,

I want to ask you to co-sponsor and/or support a strong Consumer Financial Protection Agency. For too long banks and credit card companies have been able to use deceptive methods to lure unsuspecting consumers into credit situations that they, the consumer, had no business engaging in.

This new agency would be able to implement… Continue

Letter in support of Amnesty International Watch

When a member of any society is murdered or otherwise silenced, the message is shouted out that those responsible or who have condoned the silencing are, for all practical purposes, evil. Those people who have a responsibility to bring the silencers to justice are equally evil if they turn their backs on or otherwise ignore the harsh reality for ANY reason. That sort of evil concerns the vast majority of people in the world.

Anything short of comprehensive and thorough pursuit of the… Continue

Till We Meet Again

So now what?

Here we are, in some kind of a weird, crazy reality.

Beach Buddy and I.

I think about all of the reasons this could be what we're experiencing, and none of it makes any sense to me.

We about as mis-matched a pair as one could imagine.

If he weren't around, I'm sure I'd be convinced that I'm crazy.

My own kids don't get it, nor my mom, friends--- nor my co-workers...

I met him just as I was scarfing down some Spiritual Spinach, in order to… Continue

How poor nations can become rich.

It is now very clear that emotional intelligence is as important as regular intelligence for individuals. As Governments are made up of individuals we must emphasize the importance of emotional intelligence standards for Governments. We must create Gross National Standards/Values for Governments.

The benefits of wisdom

Gross National Standards/Values

Just like Gross National Product of countries we have to measure Gross National Standards/Values. Show every… Continue

Wisdom is a tree.

Wisdom is a tree. The attributes of wisdom are its fruit. As man knows the attributes of wisdom man tries to teach these attributes. It is very difficult and frustrating to cultivate these attributes because it is the same as trying to produce bananas without the banana tree. Cultivate the tree and the bananas will emerge automatically.

I am of the opinion that one must be fully trained to play the game of life to the best of one’s fully developed potential. While the world is… Continue

Redesigning Philosophy to Master Life.

Shifting the focus of philosophy from understanding the very nature of life to mastering life.

Would you rather be an expert of what it takes to be a millionaire or would you prefer being a millionaire? After all the goal of philosophy is to master your life; philosophy itself is the means to a super life. Philosophy is a means to make the journey a wise one, to make life super mature. Philosophy is not the destination. A superior super mature life is the destination. Life is a journey… Continue
