I believe everybody has the right to search the truth given that no one has found it and to build their own life model. Until the universal truth is found we need to be tolerant and compassionate of other people living according to other life models. <br /><br /> I do not judge you for living without money. However, according to the article you want to make a change and are promoting your life model. This means you are judging other people's way of life and you are proposing a better way to live. Who doesn't want to find the universal truth of the purpose of living or find the internal peace. I took a look at your model and was specially attracted to the following idea: <br /><br /> Instead, he is actively promoting "his idea that money is an illusion," Sundeen said. "The Fed just prints it up, it doesn't mean anything and it's going to lead us down the road to serfdom." <br /><br /> Could you please elaborate on your definition of money? <br /><br /> How will society work if there was no money? Will there be society? <br /><br />Thank you,<br />Daniel Velazquezdanielvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538108788297811520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-22104494309796148322012-05-04T13:32:59.505-06:002012-05-04T13:32:59.505-06:00I believe that it is a persons right to do just wh...I believe that it is a persons right to do just what Suelo has done, to me it is a better way of life and if I did not have cancer I would have done it my self a long time ago, but I have been battling cancer for many years now I have had 5 different types.I could go off and do what he has done but then I would not live as long.

But the more enlightened individuals of some of these religions know better and will say so. As a western Tibetan Buddhist nun who lived in India for many years, I have received verbal abuse from both westerners and Tibetans. Yet when doing retreat at a remote hermitage, those yogis who lived there treated me with the exact same equality that they treated each other. I was not shunned as a female or a westerner. I was just another sincere seeker to them. And when I have stumbled upon mystics of other traditions, Catholic, Orthodoxy, Sufis, and Hindus, they too knew and acknowledged we sought the same end... just a different way of getting there. No this is not the norm but it is the true path once an individual can get past all the crap that money, power and ego injects into the world's religions. The teachings are sound - we just ignore what we don't want to hear. When is the last time you heard the Sermon on the Mount taught in a church? Doesn't happen very often. And just because a person is a monastic, doesn't mean that they became one for the right reason or that they are "holy", just that they are hopefully trying.<br /><br />I will grant that organized religion is so very often the source of much misery and pain in this world, but the teachings are sound... the original teachings, before they got corrupted. I am sure that Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed for instance, would be appalled at what has been said and done in their names. I do so agree with you about the Golden Rule. As one nun I know says, "Zip tour lips and keep your hands in your lap." How much better our world would be if we could just do that. I guess what I'm saying is don't throw the baby out with the bath water. The structure can be very useful to people in the early stages. Just be discriminating in what you believe and the source it comes from. If it sounds like hate... it usually is. Keep on writing and thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-91515799221085800552012-01-30T22:21:36.091-07:002012-01-30T22:21:36.091-07:00Sometimes I wonder when you compare real experienc...Sometimes I wonder when you compare real experience to theory you're making an argument against my efforts which are very much in sync with yours. It's not theory to me. If you want to experience overlapping hierarchies forming semi-lattices first hand take a walk in the woods. That's where I first saw it. I see these things, which I call theories because I've learned no one else sees them. Or maybe I'm just not good at explaining these 3 dimensional interactive pattern thingys with words. I doubt mere words the best to transfer this information anyway. But still, I'm mystified no one else sees and talks about what's all around them. <br /><br />There was a genius savant boy showing how he sees numbers as patterns on 60 Minutes, "Jake" which aired on Jan. 15, 2012. I'm not saying I'm as gifted as this boy, Jake Barnett, by a long shot but I must have it to a much smaller degree. It's plain to see for me. Also you notice what that kid's working on? "Jake is presenting his summer physics research project on PT symmetric lattice systems. That's right folks. He's breaking new ground with LATTICES and INFORMATION PROCESSING!<br /><br />So forget about minimizing or ignoring this wonderful tool that can or cannot be experienced. Instead, please come out of the cave and maybe start posting you awesome ideas and prose on bigger more noticeable sites.

We were also quite sure they'd pass a permit resolution to charge us about $24 per person per tent per two-week period to camp in a "public forum / free speech zone." LOL OMG....... After the two weeks, we'd have to re-apply and pay another $24 and we could only renew our permit four times in a calendar year. It was quite a ridiculous scheme they had all come up with and Occupy went en masse to Tuesday's meeting to speak our minds. <br /><br />And that we did! Exuberantly... inspirationally... poignantly... angrily... matter-of-factly...! And we beat the odds! Despite almost everyone's pessimism and certainty that the restrictive new laws would be passed, the City Council HEARD US. We had appealed to their human-ness, to their souls! Against all odds, one by one, the council members gave reasons they were opposed to the ordinances and permit system that they themselves had initiated! Then, even more astoundingly, they decided to give Occupy time to go through OUR General Assembly and Coordinating Council process to come up with a win-win solution to the main issue (the tents) AND they presented a proposal to work together to approve a resolution for the City of Asheville to reject corporate personhood and support an amendment to the Constitution!<br /><br />I think this is a tremendous example of what you described in your blog entry! Occupiers, seemingly powerless and disorganized, a "motley crew" as one of the councilmen called us, have found our power and voice and we've united to fight for our Rights! United, we "won" against the government bureaucracy that was set on shutting us down and charging for free speech.

But it's harder to break out of a religious dogma than a non-religious dogma when you think you're going to hell if you do. <br /><br />Yes, perhaps one way is superior to another, but it's not for us to say! If it's true, it will be self-evident. As soon as I say, "my way is superior," I am proving absolutely my way's inferiority. As with individuals, so with religions. Only one who feels deficient can possibly say "My way is superior." Look around: the more an individual or religion claims superiority, the more havoc and ridiculousness he or it reeks on the world.Suelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739011165937473840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-45631401854784097932012-01-24T05:37:26.386-07:002012-01-24T05:37:26.386-07:00"It isn't a contest or a shootout at the ..."It isn't a contest or a shootout at the OK Corral"<br /><br />Love the quote! I agree that action is more important than words, that's truly where the rubber meets the road, and where our philosophies are truly tested. <br /><br />I guess to sum up what I was saying about religions is that people tend to think religions are dogmatic because they believe a certain set of beliefs to be true and others not. However, I think pretty much everyone one else does that too, whether religious or not. It's not that religion is dogmatic, it's that PEOPLE are dogmatic. Dogma isn't necessarily bad, as long as the individual holding it can question it. <br /><br />Here is my dogma: love is better than hate.<br /><br />Do I believe that to be absolutely true? Yes.

I find it very hard to read. I have studied and practiced typography for decades. <br />For the best readability, you want good contrast, so use black or very dark letters if you want to keep this beige background. Do not use bold type because the letter spacing visually fills in. I've heard the word "horsey" describe type that's too bold, awkward, big etc.... You'd have to compensate with a ridiculous amount of spacing. Also make sure you have the proper amount of line spacing aka "leading". It's usually 2 points more than the type point size. So 10 point type usually has good readability with 12 point leading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-35241043349816274252012-01-23T05:51:56.951-07:002012-01-23T05:51:56.951-07:00"So, who first should shut up then?"

J...I do value your comments & questioning, Raj.<br />Just days ago I got an email from somebody who told me Islam is the only true religion and I was going to hell if I didn't accept this. A Christian told me the same about Christianity. Prabhupad stated that Krishna Consciousness was the superior religion that would trump all others. When I was in the Thai Buddhist monastery, one of the abbots said his form of Buddhism was the only pure way. When I later tutored a Tibetan Buddhist monk, he told me Tibetan Buddhism was superior to Thai Buddhism because Tibetan had more compassion. Back in the States, Mormon missionaries told me LDS was the Only True Church. Back at home, my parents said LDS was of the Devil and their interpretation of Jesus is the Only Way. Are all of them being honest? I actually delved deeply into each of these religions and found the Same Profound Truth at the core of each one. I wish that each religion could do to the other as it wishes the other to do to itself. Without the Golden Rule, there is no real religion, only empty egotism. Nothing is as it seems.<br /><br />In the end, words are meaningless and argument is futile. Truth is revealed when mouths are zipped and only our action and our Being bear witness.
