The blog of the week award has to go to SkyGuitar’s News Today blog as it always gives me a lift and and a laugh as I read it. I enjoy the with and humor of this blog as well as all the fascinating news and facts that are spread across the pages of this zany blog. A lot of thought and effort has gone into writing this News Blog and why it is different from other news blogs is that is gives such a unique twist to some really col and very unusual news items.
Along with the very unorthodox news stories you will also get tales of regular news stuff but in a very unusual and personal format which makes this bpg such a fantastic read.
I will always visit this blog so I hope SkyGuitar always keeps it going as it is definitely one of my top reads and the latest post I think many of us can identify with as it is to do with the Global Economic Crisis and some doom and gloom bits to make us feel even better lol. If you haven’t already taken a peak at this blog then you should do as soon as you get a minute. You won’t regret it believe me. Oh I have to also apologize to my Lovely readers for being off for a few days but we are busy moving to Vancouver in search for a job and a better life, yes you guessed it because the Economy sucks and Hubby can’t find a job in Toronto! So please visit my fantastic Friend’s blog and make my day.
Well it has been a week of rough and tumble so I decided to chill and take time out doing the things I love most like singing. I forgot about the Global Economic Crisis a bit and totally indulged in singing one of my favorite songs which is Mory Kante’s Yeke Yeke which came about about 20 odd year ago but I never had the lyrics then and always wanted to learn how to sing it. I had African musician Friends but they didn’t come from Mali or Senegal but mainly from Central Africa so I never got that chance to sing other African music save in Yoruba or Swahili. I did learn a lot of Rai though as I had Algerian Friends too and Rai was big in France and still is and as many Algerians came to the U.K they brought Rai with them. I am a great Khaled and Mami Fan.
Anyway here is my rendition of Yeke Yeke by Mory Kante and I know it isn’t perfect but it helped me forget my troubles, hope it can bring a smile to you too.
President Barack Obama made a heart felt speech in the White House Prayer Room today when he engaged every one to view their faith as a form not only of developing a personal relationship with God but also that it is a moral obligation as a person of Faith to seek out Social Justice as a cause and develop empathy among one another. By engaging in dialogue he spoke of the intercession of God’s Grace. In other words if we learn to communicate with each other then God will pour down his Divine blessings and Grace on such an auspicious event.
If we truly want God in our lives then we have to develop at least a God like instinct in order to recognize God in all of our actions. How we speak, eat and above all inter act plays a role in the kind of God consciousness we may awaken in ourselves and above all help awaken in others. Empathy and Compassion are the real driving forces behind true or Divine Love. Without these two components Love can not flow through the Heart of Mankind.
It is time now for real change and Obama is helping to catapult real moral change from within the White House to the rest of the World. If any one can really succeed in the pursut of Happiness then it is definitely Barack Obama.
Well now you can get a gist about the Convergence 2012 pole shift and Mayan legacy through the Rasta Perspective. It’s great so see so many different people from all parts of the World through their own cultural experiences and Naahniki gives us here his own interpretation of Pole shift etc.
I like to scour through the different colorful videos on the subject of the 2012 Convergence as the message of peace, love, coming together and real global harmony kicks into my subconscious.
I believe growing up and living a very uprooted life that we all should look and focus on the more positive aspects of Human Nature then if we amplify these then there is a chance we may be able to eradicate evil actions or negative thoughts.
This lovely person brings his own flavor and color to the Convergence factor though I don’t take herbal highs myself, I think he has a unique style and talent of his own in bringing home a message, to Blacks, Whites and every one else in between. Enjoy the Youtube video with Naahniki.
I wish every one a happy and prosperous 2009 and with the Advent of the New Year hopefully a more peaceful World. Well we say this every year don’t we?
Then after a few days celebrating we get back to normal and the Cycle starts all over again.
Let’s try this year collectively to make a difference and not take what we have and those around us for granted as I think that this is one of the ills that besets us in our every day lives.
For us it’s just a normal day as we are all alone in the Snow and no family of our own in this neck of the woods. All my family in England are together celebrating so I am missing them but all I can do from this end of the Earth is to pray they have a good New Year with lots of goodies as I wish the same for all my lovely Readers.
May your new Year be full of Peace, Love and Happiness.
A new Jesus has emerged in the Siberia Steppes and he has a mass following of eager and practicing christians. He looks like the classical Jesus we often see in the pics and he really practices what he preaches according to many that follow him. An ex Traffic cop, Sergei Torop, Now a.k.a Vissarion Christ preaches his gospel and initiates many into his mysteries of pure living and love. He is married and has kids and believes in reincarnation too, as he believes he is the reincarnation of Christ. O.K so what if people don’t believe him to be the Christian version of Metraiya, to those that follow his teachings, he is as God like as they come.
Some will say he imbues cultish qualities but from all of those that have either gone to be his student, or just to interview him, they have all come back with different opinions than what they had originally thought out.
I believe if there are people in theWorld today doing good, then let them. Let’s not alway find fault ith others to pin them down, but instead we should lok for the best in our Human Brothers and Sisters and as we find goodness, then more goodness will emanate from them.
Here is a little more about Vissarion for you to read..and a Video too!
Some people may freak out with the idea that Jesus Christ may actually be Buddhist in Nature but then again what is actually Budddha Nature and what are the qualifications?
Why in the Old Testament there is talk of a God who allowed vengeance as the famous ‘EYE FOR AND EYE AND TOOTH FOR A TOOTH’ saying expresses. Jesus on the other hand was full of compassion and taught ‘GREAT LOVE’ which is what the Buddha preached and was all about. So what ARE the connections between Jesus and Buddhism?
Here a very interesting analogy of events is being hinted upon by a Dr. Tin Htut who gives some deeply thought out explanations as to why Jesus could be a Buddhist and what He was teaching could be parallel to Buddhist disciplines and behavior. As he was away from Home for over 17 years he had to have gone somewhere and there are many who believe that he went to India to cultivate himself through many spiritual initiations and disciplines where he reached the highest of levels in healing and other great spiritual arts. As he became a Master of himself and has Ascended on High into ‘THE BEYOND’ he was doing his utmost to teach everyone that where is at is a place we could all reach if we had the intention and goodwill.
There is much speculation as to what is going to happen in 2012 and unfortunately many have opted to go for the doom and gloom scenario that is often portrayed to us in documentaries and the News in general.
The Mayan calendar stops exactly on the 21st of December 2012 and that is when people are talking about the ‘END OF THE WORLD’.
BUT IS IT? Or is it just the ‘end of the world’ as WE perceive it?
There are many psychic and spiritually minded people that feel and see things as otherwise which could shed new light and hope to this matter and help people around the Globe cultivate a new feeling and understanding of the whole 2012 Scenario.
One such Light Worker and Spiritually Guided individual is David Wilcock who lectures in many countries all about the Good News that not only Christians have read in their Bibles but also other religious disciplines have given to their followers. It is also apparent that David Wilcock strikes an uncanny resemblance to the late Edgar Cayce, psychic and healer and it is believed that David is his reincarnation.
To get to know about David Wilcock a little more and to view his movies you can visit him on DIVINE COSMOS and when you start delving into his mysteries you might see a part of yourself in there. It makes excellent reading over a cup of tea and some deep thought.
Qiman has decided to take a drastically different direction in what he wants to portray and express and is now moving from the mainstream political Arena into more spiritual and unifying forces that can help in enhancing Mankind’s existence on Earth and maybe also prepare each one to reflect on coming and gong from this World.
Being Born into the Buddhist Tradition, Qiman is returning to his own roots to make an attempt to help make this a better World or at least help each one find what id best for themselves as we move into quite critical times where life decisions can affect more and more people as we all become more inter dependent and integrated through World wide Travel.
Whatever religious persuasion you may adhere too, we can all agree on one at least one point;
That we can find God, not on Earth or in Heaven only but in our hearts.
This Buddhist Mantra is to help open the Heart to such an enlightening unfolding of events in your lifetime and to help you reach compassion and mercy, wherever you are, just enjoy and live in Peace.
With the impending doom and gloom facing The Present Global Economy it is no wonder that the Snowball Effect will be hitting even countries like China that can boast a Trade Surplus and an annual growth rate exceeding ten percent per annum. The only problem is that as consumer spending lessens and even stagnates in parts of the World so does the demand for Chinese goods lessen which means that a whole new wave of jobs are going to be lost in the forthcoming months.
Even the Vice-Minister of Labor Wang Dong Jin has admitted that this grim situation ‘could well undemine social stability’ which is grave terminology for Chinese Bosses to be using. The Government is doing all it can to cushion the effect of this mighty blow but how much can it salvage when the parameters of a crisis are going well beyond its borders? It looks like it isn’t just North America and Europe facing a problem.
