Every relationship begins with trust in each other. Without the initial trust, the relationship will not move forward. In the beginning, one believes without much proof about the others character. It is love and some assessment of how trustworthy the person is. As the relationship grows, fissures start forming because of doubts about whether the other person can be trusted.
About 7 years ago I discovered the practice of kirtan. Over the years I've done a lot of chanting, mostly on my own but also with others. I've also done a lot of no chanting or no practice at all. Both I think are good for learning and honoring our humanity. With the push and pull of heart and ego there are moments when I realize and know what I need to do.
As we go about our day, the world seemingly teems with activity and actions that are outside ourselves. Our perceptions, though, are colored by our previous experiences and deeper spiritual knowledge. So, in essence, the moment we interact with the world, we translate, seeing it from our own perspective.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I created a forum today, for anyone interested. It would be great to see the 7000+ members on there at some point and hopefully this is the second step towards that happening.
So like everyone I know is talking about this mayan calendar thing and how the whole world is gonna collapse or something on 2012. At first I didn't believe it, but then after doing some research on the internet, like, OMG!!
Hey folks, I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm looking for some practices/rituals/habits that may help my growth. They can range from the smallest thing I do during the day, to a yearly or monthly ritual. I have a few already, but I am open to any suggestions, changes, or comments.
The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged saved my life, I think.
I was 22, finishing college, and was terrified that I was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Society was in shambles and no one cared! People talked about nonsense, politicians were de-evolving nations, cats and dogs, living together!
MapMaking is a continuing process. As we collectively go through this time of acceleration, many of us are changing and transforming in radical ways. Some of us are doing this consciously, some not so consciously. If we choose to change, the first step is to make it a conscious change.
We have the ability and capacity to change everything. We can use certain influences that have previously been against our own individual thought, i.e. television. It is becoming more commonly known that information, along with the power of individual choice are spreading like fire. We have the power to show the world, the collective, another reality.
I have been back from Ethiopia for just over 5 weeks now. I have begun to settle again into what I once thought of as normal and what I now think of as a damn interesting game of energy exchange.
This morning, I received this email from an Ethiopian priest, one of the first Ethiopians we met on our trip and one who overwhelmed us with his kindness and hospitality. An excerpt:
The backpacker inside of me wants to see it all, the philanthropist wants to help all who I encounter along the way, the prophet wants to share the learned truths, and the cynic wonders if any of it matters in the first place. Thus the quandary I often find myself in.
