RJ of Las Vegas Shame on You

I am back early to put this article out and ask anyone who is connected with the Las Vegas Review-Journal whether on line or a subscriber to boycott their sites and newspaper. I have canceled everything.
Here was my comment to Steve Green.
"What is going on here? What's next? Students being sued for using articles to make their point when quoting sources in their research papers? This is a witch hunt. I have canceled my subscription to the LVR-J newspaper. I would like to post your article on my blog site and ask for a boycott of this newspaper.

Thank you for being on top of this. Freedom of speech? What happened to us?"

Summer Break

Hi everyone, I wanted to post one last time before heading for my break, holiday, vacation, meditation or just some down time for the next few weeks. I will return September 13 with a weekly post on what I want to express as Spiritual importance to me. However before going I just had to report Anne Rice’s statement in case you may have not heard read this in the last few days. While I made this personal choice when I was 15, I always find it amazing when someone else has that Ah! Ha! Moment and discovers they may unconsciously have been part of a group, community or cult they were never aware of, that preached against those who did not adhere to their Christian belief, and did so in the name of that group. While Anne has repeatedly said “I have not given up on Jesus, only on Christianity”

Stay cool and stop back in September.

Todays Quote

Spiritual transformation does not mean seeking refuge from life's problems.
It's not about lighting candles and thinking only happy thoughts. It's about facing the chaos of life and your reactions to it head on.

If you are sitting on a pillow somewhere serene with your eyes closed, you might feel temporarily refreshed, but you're not going to uproot any of the behaviors or patterns in your life that continually brings you pain.
Today, open your eyes. See the obstacles. Be grateful that they exist. Overcome them one by one - and let the Light shine! kabbalah ( complementary submission)

Full Moon

2010 Mar 30 02:28 Tue 2010-Full Worm Moon – March As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter. Farmer’s Almanac www.farmersalmanac.com

Many individuals fear the Full Moon, I actually welcome the energy. I believe that weird things actually do happen at the Full Moon. Some positive some negative. However I also believe when negative things happen from or to certain individuals it's because those individuals are totally out of balance. The energy from the Moon and or the Sun has more to do with the collective conscious then most know. My personal take on the Full Moon is that we can draw the best energy during the Full Moon, if we are in a positive frame of mind. It's like magic. So this Full Moon closes out the cold winter and welcomes the Spring. Think positive and visualize what you would like to see happen in the next few months. Works with the energy don’t fight it.
