+ Deepak Chopra is always fascinating. You can hear and see him at
http://www.themanifest-station.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=105&Itemid=427
He says that the sense of continuity we experience is an illusion. He says every moment is perfect. He defines God as Everything There Is. We are totally united to God, to Everything. "You are the Universe." Understanding that changes your perception, your attitude, your goals. He says 80 per cent of humanity is suffering from not getting enough due to huge global imbalance. He promotes non-violence. Create Peace by Being Peace.
+ I am getting a lot out of the Spirituality and Practice E-Retreat: Intercessory Prayer led by Jane Vennard. It is not too late to sign up and expand your knowledge and ability in this important form of prayer. The sharing in the forum is powerful. In the current lesson, Jane says: "Sometimes we are tempted to try and figure out the right way to pray before we begin. We may remember that someone once told us that we should always pray for the person's highest good. But what do we do if that doesn't feel authentic in a particular situation? We may wonder how God wants us to pray and the confusion of not knowing keeps us from praying. Maybe we have no idea what the person or the community needs, so we decide not to pray. We must put aside all these thoughts and simply begin to pray."
+ TruthOut offers "Behind The Arizona Immigration Law: GOP Game to Swipe the November Election" by Greg Palast. Excerpt: "What moved GOP Governor Jan Brewer to sign the Soviet-style show-me-your-papers law is the exploding number of legal Hispanics, US citizens all, who are daring to vote - and daring to vote Democratic by more than two-to-one. Unless this demographic locomotive is halted, Arizona Republicans know their party will soon be electoral toast. Or, if you like, tortillas."
