From the book and writings of kahlil Gibran comes;

“No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among the followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”

It is our work here on earth to be a student of many teachers and a teacher to others by example, helping them to find what is already theirs.

This is one of the funniest things I have read for a while but it also makes us understand how the mind can hold on to ideas and make them our ‘truth’ if we CHOOSE to see things the way we want to and not the way they are. Anytime you limit the mind by placing an idea into it, just know now that idea has limited you in some way.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.  The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet.  It’s funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law.  I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can.  When someone tries       to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations.  A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians.  Can you clarify?  Why can’t I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.  In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24.  The problem is how do I tell?  I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.  The problem is my neighbors.  They claim the odor is not pleasing to them.  Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.  Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.  Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.  I don’t agree.  Can you settle this?  Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight.  I have to admit that I wear reading glasses.  Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27.  How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm.  He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend).  He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot.  Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16.  Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan

Try to elevate and be inward in your search, focusing on what is not seen with the eyes and not heard with the ears. Become aware that the answers you are looking for are being reviled to you by your inner teacher and cannot be understood on the outer plane.

I was chatting to my mother one day about what she was doing, as this woman never stops working or moving. Then the question of my dad and men in general came up and why older men sit around a lot more and why they are slower or more tired than women. Women also live abut 12 years more on average.

So the Yogic answer is three fold;

One is that women get new blood each month by their cycle and as blood carries all the nutrients and oxygen to all of the systems, this gives new life and energy to each part of their body. Blood is life.

Second is that men rely much more on their physical strength so by the time they are older the body has worn out more and they feel much less energetic or alive. This is why the physical strength is diminished leading to heavier thoughts.

And thirdly, when a man ejaculates too much he loses much of his mental and physical strength because as Ayurveda and Yoga point out the essence of food, higher thought power and spiritual strength are guarded in the semen. When this energy is released too much, ones body and mind become weaker. Ejaculating for a woman does not have the same affect on their system.

Now see for yourself what is true.

Driving from my parent’s house to the airport I got into my customary chat with the taxi driver, which I have every time I visit them. Early morning they usually love to chat and I would rather be on my blackberry sending emails and replying to people’s inquiries. So I was listening as my companion was telling me about his life and his travels 3 years earlier to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

As he was talking and we got into a conversation about health and our modern lifestyles and how these habits have created so many new symptoms leading to disease, he referred to PEOPLE most of the time. “People do this, people do and say that.” It is something I have become aware of for some time and I have used the term myself in conversation many a time. When we use the term people whom are we talking about? Who are these people who are not us? How are these people different than us?

Of course these people are ourselves but in conversations we like to separate from identifying that we also do the things we say others are doing. In this case the driver I was with was explaining that ‘people’ drink and socialize because they want to feel part of a group- feeling they belong. He spoke about it as if he was not these ‘people’ but in the same breath he said he drank and went out with his mates.

Next time you refer to ‘people’ in your conversation see if you are trying to separate yourself from someone and something or if you identify and recognize that you are also part of the collective called ‘people.’ It is a small step in our mind to bond us with other and not think that we are that different than our fellow human beings.
