But we put on a fabulous show of post-facto security theater, so we must be safer! :)

So the big question is, “Well, do I just dump all those unwanted things and try to start fresh?” And we say, no. You just set the tone, where you are, by looking for things to appreciate. And by setting your tone in a very clear deliberate way, anything that doesn’t match it gravitates out of your experience, and anything that does match it gravitates into your experience. It is...

It’s time for more security theater! →
Taking off your shoes at the airport. Bloated no-fly lists. Random screenings and searches. Little plastic bags full of 3-ounce liquid containers. All of these measures were reactionary responses to terrorism on airlines. None of it works. All of this, however, is the definition of security theater.
Republicans (and Joe Lieberman) are already up in arms about how the “system” didn’t...
These are some of the basic priciples they teach:
Supporting each other.
Cooperating, no competition.
Taking care of Nature and it takes care of us.
We are more than our physical bodies, we are able to communicate.
Use your telepathic abilities.
Sound (vibrations) can heal us. Use them, study them.
Live Simply.
Breathe deeply all the time and avoid going places where you can’t.
Sleep on your own schedule.
Eat what’s in your...

Awesome mosaic visualization of all the images posted on my tumblr. On yours too if you change the id. With an ugly oversized red header.

Whence Navajo Beauty Comes
“For the Navajo, beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as it is in the mind of the creator and the creator’s relationship to the created (that is, the transformed or the organized.) The Navajo does not look for beauty; he generates it within himself and projects it onto the universe… Beauty is not ‘out there’ to be perceived by the perceptive and appreciative viewer; it is a creation of...

Seth on Christmas
“Do not think that Christmas is too camp. In your civilization, when you allow it to, it speaks to the child in you. Accept the child and enjoy the myth, for behind the myth there is truth, and the truth is that you are reborn. And the truth is that the inner self does have the wonder of a child.
Other stories have been wound about those truths, but the truths remain. The god Pan has as...

Uranium Is So Last Century — Enter Thorium, the... →
After it has been used as fuel for power plants, the element leaves behind minuscule amounts of waste. And that waste needs to be stored for only a few hundred years, not a few hundred thousand like other nuclear byproducts. Because it’s so plentiful in nature, it’s virtually inexhaustible. It’s also one of only a few substances that acts as a thermal breeder, in theory creating enough new fuel...

Some beautiful stories in here. Follow the link for many more.
When I was working as a summer job in our local hospital I got paged to a room by a patient. Usually what they wanted for me to do is shift their position or get them some water or something similar. This time the old lady asked me to come to her and take her hand. She told me “I don’t want to die alone.” I...

Gurney Journey: Gorilla Portraits →
The gorilla loved it. He had never seen a human act like a polite ape before. He came right up to the glass and posed for me while I did this half-hour portrait from just two feet away. It was like sketching someone on a subway. I tried to just glance at him discreetly out of the corner of my eye.
