the Yang and Yin article? Within your own

you are making your own postulate, and if he

From Scientic America - Brain Activity Altered during Religious Experience

In America there's a feeling of Christmas. But that's not the only winter
holiday going on. Jews are lighting Hanukkah candles, Muslims recently
feasted on Eid al-Adha, and pagans celebrated the solstice. So it's a good
time for researchers to consider spirituality-from a scientific point of
view.

One experience central to major religions around the world is that of
transcendence, the idea of almost losing a sense of self to the feeling that
there's something bigger out there. Now scientists at the University of
Missouri say they've located that experience in our brains. All the people
studied, from Buddhist monks in meditation to Francescan nuns in prayer,
experience this transcendence. And they all have decreased activity in the
right parietal lobe of the brain. That area has to do with senses such as
orienting yourself in the space around you. The study was published in
Zygon: Journal of Religion & Science.

Dear friends:

15 years ago, I first published the following essay on the meaning of
Christmas. Though a decade and a half have passed, and much has
happened and changed in our lives, the eternal message of Jesus’ birth
endures. I hope you enjoy reading this again (or perhaps for the
first time) and have a very, very holly jolly Christmas, and a blessed
New Year.

All my love and blessings of the Eternal LightSong of Spirit,

Michael Turner

There exists a subtle intangible world that is infinitely vast

If you missed George Harrison jamming with Ravi Shankar in the early
'70s, here's your chance to hear a live blend of Indian classical and
rock -- all for a good cause.

Indian Ocean, a contemporary fusion group, rocks with a traditional
band set-up of guitar, bass and drums -- but with the addition of a
dedicated tabla player.

All proceeds from the concert will go to support projects by the
Association for India's Development, particularly relief work in
helping those affected by the floods in western India

Bill Moyers & Kevin Phillips on Bad Money
Sunday, September 21, 2008 |

Bill Moyers sits down with former Nixon White House strategist and political
and economic critic Kevin Phillips, whose latest book BAD MONEY: RECKLESS
FINANCE, FAILED POLITICS, AND THE GLOBAL CRISIS OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM
explores the role that the crumbling financial sector played in the
now-fragile American economy.

BILL MOYERS: If you read only one book on the route to this financial
meltdown, I recommend this one: BAD MONEY: RECKLESS FINANCE, FAILED
POLITICS, AND THE GLOBAL CRISIS OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM. The author, Kevin
Phillips, has a history of being way ahead of the curve. As a young man
working for Richard Nixon, he wrote THE EMERGING REPUBLICAN MAJORITY, a book
that uncannily predicted how the GOP would regain power in Washington. Kevin
Phillips saw our current crisis coming a long time ago. And in one book of
historical insight after another, laid out the clues he was tracking. As
recently as last spring in the AMERICAN PROSPECT magazine, Phillips wrote
that what he thought was about to happen would be "unusual and potentially
tragic."

If your image is the one I have seen, then you are very handsome and
your features (somewhat square, thin blond hair, metal framed glasses
not quite aviator, soft but not fat) have the power to heal if you
allow others to calmly stare without feeling making you feel self-
conscious or self-willed and resentful. Just let it happen, gently.

If this image is not yours, it belongs to the doctor.

I was asked to comment on my relationship with Eckankar's Inner
Masters™. Here's a partial answer via something I wrote before. The
following experience is a true and accurate account of what occurred
just before I left Eckankar™:

There came a time in my membership in Eckankar when I had come to a
crossroads. I felt as if I was beginning to see a crack in the
illusion of Eckankar, and this disturbed me. I was out of step with my...
