Apologies to the Divine Feminine (from a warrior in transition) | Soul's Code
A former criminal lawyer makes his peace with the divine feminine and urges other men to do the same
GUEST COLUMN BY JEFF BROWN (part one of two parts) — I apologize for my inability to distinguish the benevolent warrior from the heartless warrior, a reflection of my own confusion dealing with the battlefields of yore. When I opened my heart too wide, I was vulnerable to attack from warring factions.I was conditioned to believe that I ....

How the Political Right Bullied the Department of Homeland Security Into Ignoring the Threat of Right-Wing Extremism | Tea Party and the Right | AlterNet
August 15, 2011
In the wake of the terrorist attack in Norway by right-wing Christian extremist Anders Breivik, conservative media pundits rushed to vilify anyone who brought up the underlying far-right ideology that fueled Breivik’s violence.
The uproar that follows any suggestion that right-wing extremism is on the rise works to silence the conversation about the danger of right-wing militancy. According to disturbing revelations by a former Homeland Security Intelligence Analyst, the consequences of this dynamic extend......................

paradox |ˈparəˌdäks| noun a statement or proposition that, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.When you become a student and practitioner of the Law of Attraction, you come to realize that there are easy parts to accept, and also that there are parts that take some faith to accept. For example, if you want proof thatLaw of Attraction works, focus on feeling better for 30–60 seconds, and notice how you gain access to thoughts that feel even better. Focus on something for a day, and notice yourself finding unlimited thoughts that support the topic. Give a topic your full attention for a week, and you will feel it building and multiplying in your vibration. Focus your undivided attention on something for a month and see how it manifests in your life in multiple ways. The proof is in the changes you see and feel, and you gain momentum the more you do it.

A Christian Plot for Domination?
With Tim Pawlenty out of the presidential race, it is now fairly clear that the GOP candidate will either be Mitt Romney or someone who makes George W. Bush look like Tom Paine. Of the three most plausible candidates for the Republican nomination, two are deeply associated with a theocratic strain of Christian fundamentalism known as Dominionism. If you want to understandMichele Bachmann and Rick Perry, understanding Dominionism isn’t optional. Put simply, Dominionism means that Christians have a God-given right to rule all earthly institutions.

Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry aren't just devout—both have deep ties to a fringe fundamentalist movement known as Dominionism, which says Christians should rule the world.......
Walmart's been all over the news this week, in response to the Supreme Court decision that its female employees cannot bring a class action lawsuit against sex discrimination. But as disturbing as Walmart's record is on discriminating against women working in their stores, there's another area for major concern that has received little media attention. I'm talking about factories that produces clothes for Walmart stores, where The 'Super Congress' Is a Scam Designed to Force Cuts To Popular Programs And Keep Taxes On The Rich Low | Economy | AlterNet
August 11, 2011 |
In the months ahead, we're going to be treated to an endless parade of process stories about the Gang of 12 “super congress” that emerged from the debt ceiling deal. Each time a staffer leaks some bit of trivia about the internal machinations of this opaque committee, the Beltway media will write a flurry of stories about it, lawmakers will signal whether they might support this provision or that one and the pundits will sift through the tea leaves trying to predict whether this time the kind of “grand bargain” the Washington Posteditorial board lusts after will finally come to pass.
THE POWER OF THOUGHT By Lloyd J. Thomas, Ph.D.
Have you ever been associated with people who always "bring you down?" Their thoughts, emotional expression, energy level, negativity and cynical attitude impacts you and you feel down, depressed and less energetic yourself. These persons are called "toxic." Toxic people have a distinctive view of life. They believe the world has cheated them out of something. They think they are entitled and that the world "owes" them something. For toxic people, nothing "good" ever happens to them and they always think negative thoughts about events... even if those events are positive. Likewise, have you ever been around people who seem to elevate your mood and inspire you? The way they talk, the ideas they share, how they express their feelings, their enthusiastic energy level and positive attitude, lifts your spirits and you feel better. You feel uplifted and more energized. After you interact with them, you have more energy and feel better about yourself and your life. These people focus their thoughts on the positive aspects of events and maintain a positive outlook on their lives. Whenever you wrap your own moods and feelings around others, you have empowered them to influence, even control your own emotional life. If you always match your thoughts with those people around you, you give away your personal power. Therefore, you may wish to pick and choose those people with whom you associate. Even better, take responsibility for your own emotions and feelings. Become the gate keeper of your own heart. Let negative people in only when you feel emotionally strong enough to personally balance their negative impact. Let positive people in all the time. Better still, fill your thinking time with affirmations, conceptualizations, ideas, visualizations and memories which are personally enjoyable, positive, goal-directed, beneficial to those around you. Then you can emotionally afford to let everyone into your heart. They might even be uplifted by you. When two or more people share their joy and delight, the interaction can become sensational. Just like when two master tennis players play their best games with one another, the overall match is enjoyed by everyone. The quality of it is more than the combination of individual play. The pleasure experienced by everyone is greater than the sum of the delight experienced by the two individual each players. Such a phenomenon is called "synergy." We know our bodies rarely respond to external events. Rather, they respond to the perceptions we create in our minds, the meaning we give to those perceptions, and the nature of our evaluations imposed on those perceptions. Mental activity has creative and definitive power beyond what you can readily imagine. The nature, quality and value of your life is created and determined by the nature, quality and value of your habitual thinking patterns. If you are unhappy with your situation or circumstance, begin changing it by first, changing your thinking habits. There are several ways to start changing your thinking. Here are a few suggestions. Create an overall vision of the future you would like to have. Write down a comprehensive description of that vision. Write it in the present tense as if it were already manifested in your life. Memorize the description. Refer to it regularly. Make a written list of at least 200 goals you would like to reach in your lifetime. They can be small victories, or huge dreams. Then need to be supportive of your creating your desired vision. Update the list regularly. Write "victory" beside each one accomplished. Practice filling your mind with affirmations and images of you functioning within your desired lifestyle. Write down your affirmations and imaginings, your hopes and dreams. Record them and listen to them regularly. Collect pictures of your desired outcomes. Put self-esteem affirmations on your mirror. Regularly, paint, draw or sculpt your visualizations. Help others realize their dreams. You will always create what you desire if you help enough people get what they want. Focus on the positive quality of your thinking and you create a reality of abundance and happiness. Then, you will beneficially influence others, rather than being a victim of circumstance or others' moods and behavior. When you practice the above thinking habits, you realize the psychological and emotional power of your own thought patterns. When you have regular positive thinking patterns, your experience of life becomes so much more enjoyable. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dr. Thomas is a licensed psychologist, author, speaker, and life coach.
