Such a compassionate and heart renderiing video in the link below. It is not what we say as much as how we say it. It is not what we write, but how we write it. It is a little over 6 min so hang in there. It is well worth it!

If you get an opportunity to see this movie in the Theatre, I highly recommend it. Our water supply is under seige and it is happening all over the world. There is so much going on with water and I have to admit I had no idea what was actually happening. Much of it is all very below the radar. The education value of this film alone changed the way the way I drink, think, and use water dramatically. As I said in an earlier post, this movie brought me to tears.

This is the movie trailer that lasts a little over 2 minutes. If it peaks your curiousity, then you know what your inner knowing is asking you to do.

Sweet Sister Soul got my feet and blood moving now I can't stop dancin!!!

Rodrigo y Gabriela originally from Mexico City where their career was going nowhere ended up on the streets of Europe and from there, the world's blood along with a few other significant body parts started to move.... They play percussion with their guitars. It is fantastico. Watch Gabriela's hands. Ariba!

They are coming to Nashville in August, and I am there. I don't know why I have a seat. I will not be sitting down the entire show....

Almost at the level of George is this rockacious tune by UFO "Love to Love". It might not wax poetic in the finess category, but it comes ahead straight with the "I want you, I need you, Today!." lyrics.

And, after all there are just times when I want you! and I need you! Says it all with a few mysty greens and blues thrown in. When chord is what you want and what you need!

There is only about a bazillion ways to say I Love You!!! This is one of them.

When Love Is Ready to Rock! That too is included.

Totally by accident, if there is such a thing, I stumbled on the hour long interview of Jeannie Zandi.  In my poetry, I attempt to describe in various ways what it is like to be penetrated by the divine and dissolve into the heart of Love in every day life and what it feels like for me.

Jeannie really talks about it very practically in a way that everyone can see they have access to it. It is the open invitation to everything no matter how beautiful or ugly to come into presence. It is saying Yes to everything and in that Yes everything can dissolve into the heart and intelligence of Love.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. There some friends here that I need to send a good video for all the wonderful videos they share with me, that dissolve me, and bring me home to the truth. To All of you a Deep Bow!


Here is the short version and main thrust of what she says:



Here are some quotes and links on Victorias Blog http://victoria-is.gaia.com/blog/2007/11/living_in_love

I just love Hafiz! He is fun, outrageous, and often irreverant. He has no boundaries and neither do we.

The more I learn about the brain's knowledge the more convinced I am of how little real and dependable knowledge the brain actually has. Good for me. It is about damn time. I am a tough nut to crack when it comes to what I think I know.

Lately, I find myself reading books and listening to interviews about the brain and its workings. "Predictably Irrational" by MIT Professor Daniel Ariely is one of those books. In truth, this was my first ever audio book. I feel so dirty and ashamed because I love books so much! However, I had a new GPS device that allowed for downloading and playing books into my fm stero system. I feel so sleazy.  The trip was long enough, and my brain was interested, so I went for it. Typical man! :o)

Daniel Ariely is a behavioral economist. It is about time. Not only is he a behavioral economist, but he is one that does empirical research. Oh My God! You mean this might actually have some basis in day to day living?

I allow myself to be judgmental, sarcastic, and smug in this instance since I scored 2nd highest in my freshman college class in econmomics and then barely escaped failing microeconomics thanks to a friend who was a double major in pre-med and economics coaching me through Dr. Gray's final. It took him less than 2 hours. I got a B on the final and moved on. Marty went on to Medical school after graduating university in 3 years. What a guy! I am still grateful to Marty, and bafflled by Econ.

I insanely kept a minor in economics, but a whole lot of it didn't sit well with me. Now I know why after how many years?

The sad thing is that while listening to this book, I was so busted. The decisons that people make (me included) are so very much influenced by outside factors that may not having anything to do with the true merits of the situation at hand. As I read through the stories and very readable studies he conducted, I saw many of the same decisions I have made. But I am soooo unique! Not.

I saw myself and my decision making falling into the same irrational tendencies as many of those people in the studies. So, I am not feeling so smug now. The double edged sword of judgment slices away at the very thinking and conclusions it renders.

The value in the book is from a number of perspectives. First of all, it nails economists and some of their academic b.s. about how people make decisions economically. Secondly, it calls me out on all my ideas about how clever I am. That was a very good thing actually from the standpoint of awareness. Also, it is easy, funny, and informative reading about noneconomic behavior. For example, how predictable do you think our decision making is before and after we are sexually aroused? Seems like the standards change a bit. I am sure I am the only one that identifies with that experience.

Elizabeth Kolbert with the New Yorker writes an excellent, accurate, and fair review in this New Yorker magazine article "What Was I Thinking?" I highly recommend it if you are the least bit curious.

If you want to read Dan Ariely's predictably irrational blog, it is interesting. Not nearly as interesting as the book but compelling none the less.

There is a TED conference video clip getting a lot of play about the incredible stroke experience of neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor. I was mesmerized by her description of the experience and how it coincides with the descriptions of deep spiritual experiences throughout time. I love that clip, and it left me with some unanswered questions.

She is a scientist and her description is from the viewpoint of a scientist. What I found absolutely amazing is that she can now move towards that blissful state she experienced based on "body feelings" she knows are moving her back to her analytical left brain thinking. Much of what are considered problems in the world I would attribute to extreme left brain overanalysis and the actions coming forth from that.

Terry Gross at National Public Radio asked many of the exact questions that I had of her experience in the online interview After A Stroke, a Scientist Studies Herself. The show aired on Wednesday, June 25th. It is 46 minutes in length. If you liked the video clip. This additional depth may help to get a better sense of her experience and the implications for all of us.
