Rapture: Bliss: Existence -- Consciousness

http://blog.gaiam.com/quotes/topics/rapture
I find there is a little spot at the end of every breath
where no one can get to but me. It's pure rapture.

Joe Honeywell

sat-chit-ananda,  

Now, I came to this idea of bliss because in Sanskrit, which is the great spiritual language of the world, there are three terms that represent the brink, the jumping-off place to the ocean of transcendence:

The word "Sat" means being. "Chit" means consciousness. "Ananda" means bliss or rapture. I thought, "I don't know whether my consciousness is proper consciousness or not; I don't know whether what I know of my being is my proper being or not; but I do know where my rapture is. So let me hang on to rapture, and that will bring me both my consciousness and my being." I think it worked.

So I joined this Meditation Challenge hosted by Deepak Chopra & Ophra. Today was the first day. Though I’ve only ever done meditations on my own this was an interesting experience.

Om Bhavam Namah. Which translates to “I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities.”

瞭解Integrity -- 這個字-誠實與科學態度-是什麼?

大麻-該合法化嗎?

We have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that.

Why I changed my mind on weed

By Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent

"Since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that marijuana be retained within schedule 1 at least until the completion of certain studies now underway to resolve the issue."

Not because of sound science, but because of its absence, marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 substance. Again, the year was 1970. Egeberg mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. As my investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25 years earlier.

ekphrasic poem: art whispers

Betrothed  by  Genevieve Fitzgerald

Even if I am an ugly duckling, I have taken to wearing the necklace you gave me.  It may look silly against my feathers, costume(custom) cut glass, and not really sapphire stones set like blue grapes in a gold vine pattern. But you wanted me to have it, you blue headed unicorn no one else thinks can be real. And though you frightened me at first, I have come now to want for us to be more than just dreaming on my part.
