Everyone should be trying to discipline their mind every day, it takes work to get your brain thinking a positive and helpful way. You need to be in control of yourself not fleeting external influences.

“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”

― Albert Einstein

Scientists Proclaim Animal and Human Consciousness the Same

Very, very cool- but how could consciousness really differ?

Meditation tone

The rhythm slowly gets slower.
try to match your breath to a two cycle in, two cycle out kind of pace.
It gets reeeaaal slow, very relaxing.

Allot of good stuff here, take it slow.

An Introduction to the Transcendental Meditation Program

We are gods to the tiny creatures all around and even on and in us- we are impossibly large and seemingly undying. We could crush or cultivate any number of them. Be a merciful god, tend to nature.

A child's appetite for new toys appeal to the desire for ownership and appropriation: 

the appeal of toys comes to lie not in their use but in their status as possessions.

Christopher Lasch

The creation of a black hole is the creation of a new universe.

This is something that I have believed in for quite some time, it just makes sense when you look at it from a physics stand point.

A black hole by definition resides within a singularity, a thing which is cut off from EVERYTHING else, that little bit breaks off from our reality and starts a new one.

The new reality grows from matter being sucked into the singularity, the connection eventually fades as black hole don't last forever.

Lakota

Lakota spirituality is based on the circle. The Lakota saw the journey of life and death as a circular process. They also interacted with one another in a circular fashion, rather than in a struggle for domination.

The Lakota even used the circle’s symbolism in their architecture. Their houses (which are known as tipis) had circular foundations.

"Everything the Power does, it does in a circle." Lakota Proverb

"Creation is continuous." Lakota Proverb

"I am standing at the Earth’s center." Lakota Proverb

"A man’s life is a circle from childhood to childhood, and thus it is in everything where the power moves." Black Elk

"The power of the world always works in circles." Black Elk

"The center of the universe is everywhere." Black Elk

The Lakota Indians

No Fear in the Now

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Buddha
