What is so insidious about racism is that it marginalizes and offends everybody's innate sense of longing to belong, and therefore marginalizes and diminishes everybody. So racism, by its nature, is a lose/lose proposition.

Anthropomorphism: "The attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a god, animal, or object."
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with:
A Herd of cows
A Flock of chickens
A School of fish
A Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a:
A Pride of lions;
A Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens);
An Exaltation of larks;
A Parliament of owls (because they look so wise…?).

Now consider a group of Baboons.
Baboons are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not…it’s:
A Congress of Baboons!

That pretty much explains things that come out of Washington.
A Political Observer

You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.

To see a world in a grain of sand,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Why I Am Now Divorced
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband would be pleasant and say, 'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out, he barely said good morning, let alone 'Happy Birthday.'

I thought ... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids ... they will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my handsome Boss Rick, said, 'Good Morning, lady, and by the way Happy Birthday!'

It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock, when Rick knocked on my door and said, 'You know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.'

I said, 'Thanks, Rick, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!'

We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. He chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Rick said, 'You know, it's such a beautiful day ... we don't need to go straight back to the office, do we?'

I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind?'

He said, 'Let's drop by my place, it's just around the corner.'

After arriving at his house, Rick turned to me and said, 'If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back.

'OK', I nervously replied.

He went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, he came out carrying a huge birthday cake ... followed by my husband, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday'.
And I just sat there ... on the couch ...
Naked.

Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,

The Porcupine Principle
It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together. They were covered and protected, but the quills of each wounded the closest companion. 

After a while, they decided to distance themselves, and they began to die, alone and frozen. They had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. 

Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by their close relationships because the most important part was the heat that came from the others. They were able to survive.

The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but the one that forms when individuals learn to live with the imperfections and admire the good qualities of others.

The Moral of the story: LEARN TO LOVE THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE.

"Pain is weakness leaving the body." --

A Native American and his friend were in downtown New York City, walking near Times Square in Manhattan. It was during the noon lunch hour and the streets were filled with people. Cars were honking their horns, taxicabs were squealing around corners, sirens were wailing, and the sounds of the city were almost deafening. Suddenly, the Native American said, "I hear a cricket."

His friend said, "What? You must be crazy. You couldn't possibly hear a cricket in all of this noise!"

"No, I'm sure of it," the Native American said, "I heard a cricket."

"That's crazy," said the friend.

The Native American listened carefully for a moment, and then walked across the street to a big cement planter where some shrubs were growing. He looked into the bushes, beneath the branches, and sure enough, he located a small cricket. His friend was utterly amazed.

"That's incredible," said his friend. "You must have superhuman ears!"

"No," said the Native American. "My ears are no different from yours. It all depends on what you're listening for."

"But that can't be!" said the friend. "I could never hear a cricket in this noise."

"Yes, it's true," came the reply. "It depends on what is really important to you. Here, let me show you."

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and discreetly dropped them on the sidewalk. And then, with the noise of the crowded street still blaring in their ears,
they noticed every head within twenty feet turn and look to see if the money that tinkled on the pavement was theirs.

"See what I mean?", asked the Native American. "It all depends on what's important to you."

What's important to you? What do you listen for? Some people say that there is no God, and that He never speaks to us anymore. But perhaps they can't see or hear Him
because they aren't listening for Him. They are living for themselves, not for God.

If you are in tune with God, you will be able to notice Him at work in your life and in the world. And you'll be able to hear Him when He speaks.

What Goes Around Comes Around
"His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.

"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of."

And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill."

Can't we all just get along?
Rodney King

I HAVE been a practicing Christian all my life and a deacon and Bible teacher for many years. My faith is a source of strength and comfort to me, as religious beliefs are to hundreds of millions of people around the world. So my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when the convention's leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service.
Jimmy Carter

Pratyahaar is the control of the mind through withdrawal of the senses. The joy in your life, which you really want to enjoy, is within you. There is nothing more precise than You within you. The day you find the You within you, your mind will be yours. In pratyahaar we bring everything to zero (shunia), as pranayam brings everything to Infinity."
Yogi Bhajan

Any system of human organization that does not (or cannot) respect and value counter-opinions or dissenting voices can never be truly unified and it will never evolve intelligently. Why is this so? Because any dominant, prevailing viewpoint will always be required to meet and to deal with its POLARITY. Polarity is a law of reality ... A fixed system, a "one-way" dominant process of governance, will always 'miss' or misunderstand the emerging reality that we call the Necessity that will become the next Mother of Invention.
Krishna Singh Khalsa (See 1Plus1Equals11.com
)

When political parties get into their respective social agenda, somebody is inevitably excluded. The truth is that senseless violence has occurred on so many occasions over the years because people have allowed themselves to be manipulated by those trying to make them slaves to one rigid, ideological identity as opposed to being free thinking human beings capable of positive qualities such as rational analysis, empathy, tolerance and mercy. Human beings need to get past the notion that being a particular race, gender, nationality, tribe, party, or religion gives them the right to oppress others. Exclusion is antithetical to where we are in this, the Aquarian Age. Transparency and the inclusion of others is now the order. Those who choose not to change will become irrelevant.

A FARM KID JOINS THE MARINE CORPS

Dear Ma and Pa,

I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.

I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothin'.

Guys gotta shave but it ain't so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer they can always sit by the city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.

We go on 'route marches,' which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so. It ain't my place to tell him different. A 'route march' is just about as far as to our mailbox at home. But the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.


Our sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot.

The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. But they don't bother you none.

This next one will kill Walt and Elmer with laughin'. I keep getting medals for shootin'. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fightin' with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once... He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6' and 130 pounds, and he's 6'8' and near 300 pounds dry.

Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers catch on to this setup and come stampeding in.

Your loving daughter,

Alice

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it...It's vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie...Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.

He announced, "I want your money and jewelry, your china, your art work and the keys to you car and your boat or I will kill you." Then, he asked the woman, "What's your name?" To which, she answered, "My name is Elizabeth!" Whereupon the robber said, "Well, I can't shoot you. My mother's name was Elizabeth!" Then he turned to her husband and said, "What's your name?" Whereupon the husband said. "My name is Joseph, but most folks call me Elizabeth!"

It's All About Attitude

We're down to blood relatives and staffers.
Senator John McCain on the historically low 24% popularity of the GOP, October, 2013

Tea Party followers are like the kids who shoot their parents, and then claim to be orphans.
Chris Matthews, MSNBC Journalist

Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and
He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran

You never know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out.
Warren Buffet

You can depend on the United States to do the right thing, but only after they try everything else.
Winston Churchill

I have spent most of my life rehearsing my impromptu remarks.
Winston Churchill

One of Winston Churchill's many detractors once encountered him by saying, "Sir, you are drunk! You are very drunk! You are very, very, drunk!" Whereupon Churchill replied, "And sir, you are ugly! You are very ugly! You are very, very, ugly! And tomorrow morning I will wake up sober!"

What is so insidious about racism is that it marginalizes and offends anybody's innate sense of longing to belong and therefore marginalizes and diminishes everybody. So racism, by its nature, is a lose/lose proposition.
Hari Singh Bird

Some people do enjoy playing partisan politics with science. Pharmaceuticals, bioengineering, economics, and climate science all abound with people who delight in taking positions which are counterintuitive. Sometimes it is a character trait. At other times, they are well paid for their advocacy.

Looking at the only all Black family in 3HO / Sikh Dharma after 45 years from my perspective as a person of color I have to ask, why are there so few Blacks?

While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to politicians and their role as our leaders.

The old farmer said, " Well, as I see it, most politicians are 'Post Tortoises'.

''Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post tortoise' was.

The old farmer said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a post tortoise."

The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with."

My wife has sex with me only for a purpose. Last night she used me to time a boiled egg.

It's hard for me to stay married. My wife kisses the dog but won't drink out of my glass.

Last night my wife met me at the front door wearing a sexy negligee. She was coming home.

A girl told me to come on over. No ones home. I went over. No one was home.

A hooker once told me she had a headache.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning"? "No," she said. "I hate myself now!"

I had a girl friend so ugly they used her to cure sex offenders.

My wife is such a bad cook that if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves.

My wife is such a bad cook the dog begs for alka-seltzer.

My wife is such a bad cook that we pray after eating.

Gosh, I miss Rodney Dangerfield.

A woman hurried to the pharmacy to get medication, got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys inside.

She bowed her head and asked God to send her some HELP. She then found an old rusty coat hanger on the ground. She looked at it and said, "Can I use this?"

Within seconds a beat-up old motorcycle pulled up, driven by a bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag. He got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said: "Yes, my daughter is sick. I've locked my keys in my car. I must get home. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"

He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was open. She hugged the man and through tears said, "Thank You, God, for sending me such a very nice man."

The man heard her little prayer and replied, "Lady, I am NOT a nice man. I just got out of prison yesterday; I was in prison for car theft." The woman hugged the man again, sobbing, "Oh, thank you, God! You even sent me a Professional!"

Is GOD great or what?

According to President Barack Obama, slavery is the "original sin of our nation.” All nations have original sin. Our nation was indeed built on the original sin of slavery. Hitler’s war machine was built on the sin of slavery. England’s Empire, and attacks on Native Americans were based on them not bending to be slaves even when addicted to alcohol provided by the Whites (another sin upon a nation), and the near slave labor of Japanese in Hawaii. The slave labor of the past, sweat shops, and today the sweat stores of Walmart and McDonalds. Worldwide today, the sex slaves, and the sweat shops for consumer goods. It’s the same sin. Using people for self aggrandizement while degrading those people to little or nothing. And selfless service is the only answer. Living FOR each other, the path of my spiritual teacher. Let us pray to our collective God and our teachers and inspirational leaders to help rid our nations, minds and consciousness of the original sin of slavery.

America's Original Sin

The United States of America brought forth four original sins:

. The State and Religion are as one. This is the reason many people think America is a "Christian nation".

. Slavery, i.e., racism and indentured servitude.

. Subjugation and control of Native lands and Native peoples.

. Capitalism ("Free Trade"), which spins off slavery and free labor.

Slavery was supported by Christian clerics from the 1600s (really by the Spanish -- from the 1500s).

Capitalism is a driving force for slavery, indentured servitude, and the stealing of Native lands. Again supported by the original sin of religious tribalism -- this behavior is purely European.

Slavery permeated the American culture from the 17th Century until the early 20th Century. Its residue finished the 20th Century and is now infiltrating the 21st Century.

Within cultures prejudice can become bigotry, which then slips into tribalism. Then fears turn to hate and the tribe becomes even more convinced of its superiority. Then violence is used to subjugate those seen as inferior. Then tribalists employ slavery for their own self-aggrandizement (capitalism). Slavery (racism) then, is tribalism at its worst.

Religion, slavery, racism, annihilation of Native culture and its people, capitalism, all come together in the fire of the nation's sins -- gun violence, war!

States in America, supported by religious zealots, built an economy based on slave labor, and controlled by 'guns'. But when people turn to love, selflessness service and a fearless commitment to stand for Truth, then the 'weeds' of State sins cannot permeate the 'garden of faith'.

We are passing through the cusp of the Age of Aquarius whereby those attached to the previous Age (see Kali Yuga Signs) will pass on due to irrelevancy. This is the Age of tolerance, love, kindness, service, inclusion, equality, honor, and Truth through experience. There is no room for exclusion or subjugation. No room to intimidate or control others through fear and guilt. Europe gave birth originally, culturally, to America, and Americans are the neurotic progeny.

The hope we now have is that our souls are awakening to the True Nature of our Being.
Sat Hanuman Singh Khalsa

Across the South, we have a deep appreciation of history. We haven’t always had a deep appreciation of each other’s history.
