A comedian's way to meditation and money

Editors, Wisdom Quarterly; Kyle Cease (evolvingoutloud.com) via Christine Blosdale

 
Just go...
(a note from the Kyle Cease having this event)
I don’t know how to sell this event. There is no tactic. I can write up some bullet point system of amazing things that you will gain. Things like ending stage fright, anxiety, and so on. But it is so much cooler than any bullet points could ever spell out. It’s an experience. [He's selling a feelgood experience? Oh, Kyle!]

It’s tapping into a deeper you. It’s bringing out the effortless “you” that always existed [Hey, just like Mahaayana, Zenn, Shambala, and Hinduism say will happen!] Remember when you were a kid? [Yes, yes "I Remember"! Coolio was singing. Hey, Kyle, get to the flow, bro. Here we go.]



Remember how you just played? Remember how you didn’t care what anybody thought about you? How you could just create, imagine, and weirdly you were happy much more frequently? That place existed once, which means it is always available. It has been right under our nose and we overlook it and actually choose to stress out. We are trained to find the problems everywhere.
 
We are always fixing something that is not broken. We are constantly reliving stressful past things, and anticipating future things. When we are done with that, we need some addiction to get us into the moment.

Childhood? "Dead and Gone" (T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake)

Kids don’t have this. Kids have the moment, freedom, love, creativity, and play locked as their default setting. Guess what, you are still a kid. You might be a 50-year-old kid, but your natural state is your natural state. That state is worth everything. It’s worth more money, higher health, happier relationships, inner peace, and higher likeability. 

I'm evolving. I'm evolving out loud.
You just need to get away from the old habits. You just need to be taken away for a few days. [How 'bout one magical weekend?]. You just need to leap.[Just once?]
 
If right now, while reading this, you are analyzing if you should leap, check this out: You can always measure what you will lose; you can never measure what you will gain. [True that.]
 
So while you are anticipating the hotel costs, the babysitter, and the three days of being away, also anticipate the possibility of an entirely different, more fun, profitable, and much more effortless life. [I'm in!] It really is for anyone and everyone. Evolving never ends. Kyle Cease (more videos).

Twelve-year-old certified yoga instructor Jaysea DeVoe teaches her yoga class at Bergamot Spa in California.
 
In addition to her pint-sized students aged four to six, she teaches teens and fellow tweens in her California beach town of Encinitas and is about to start a family yoga class.  Oh, and she just told her dad she wants to look into making eco-friendly yoga mats.
 
If Suey Park is busy, maybe I...can try yoga?
"I feel like I want to do this for a long time because I love teaching so much," says DeVoe, the picture of a California beach girl, with long blond hair and long legs to match. But DeVoe is not alone in her entrepreneurial zeal. Her twin brother, 12, is a sponsored competitive surfer and works at a surfboard fin manufacturing company.

Cycling through the Day for Mindful Practice – The Body/Mind Types
April2014yogatherapy
Click for INTERACTIVE mag
According to Ayurveda [Vedic science of health], the energetic qualities of the doshas (or body/mind types: vata, pitta, and kapha) rotate throughout the day. So different influences predominate during different portions of the day. They can affect our practices of poses (asana), pranayama (spirit control), and meditation as well as our strength, state of mind, mood, and more. As yoga therapists, acknowledging and understanding these cycles can help us more effectively work with clients and students. The inherent qualities of the doshas have a strong influence... We can fight against or flow with and utilize practice to help find balance... More

    Shocking US military secrets revealed (video)

    Douglas Dietrich (douglasdietrich.com); Pat Macpherson, Pfc. Sandoval, Wisdom Quarterly; John B. Wells (coasttocoastam.com); Sean Stone (Buzzsaw)
    Death (Greek, Thanatos) rules American military leadership and its imperial missions (US).

    Douglas Dietrich, military historian, appeared on Coast to Coast on Nov. 13, 2011

    Who is historian Douglas Dietrich?
    Douglas Dietrich was a D.O.D. (Department of Defense/War) Research Librarian for almost a decade, responsible for incinerating highly classified materials on critical historical topics such as Pearl Harbor, Roswell, Vietnam, and various ethnic holocausts.

    He was also paid to destroy documents exposing the reality of vampires, zombies, Soviet psychic warfare operatives, and other "occult" phenomena. 

    Summoning demons and devils
    Volumes of notes on Nicolai Tesla, H.P. Lovecraft, Scientology's L. Ron Hubbard, the seat of Catholicism, the Vatican, and the United Nations were destroyed, along with reams of reports detailing everything from military/intelligence-sponsored drug-smuggling operations to experimental CIA mind-control programs.

    Records plundered from both Allied and enemy states revealed the hidden objectives of modern mass-movements such as Nat-Zism, Zionism, Izamicism (Wähhä'bīst/Islamist Fundamentalism[s]), Vouhodouxnism ("Voodooism"), and other ideologies.
     
    Let's bring it! - Bring what? - Death! (DT)
    Dietrich's post was El Presidio Real de San Francisco's Western Defense Command Center, a large military base with many military families which was seething with Satanism, child sexual abuse (more than a 1,000 cases resolved by reassigning families to other bases around the world), and controversial human medical experimentation. 

    An assassination plot on presidential candidate William Clinton was even attempted. Since the base's closure, Dietrich's background in military reference and his experiences in mercenary/security enforcement exposed him to startling insights into geopolitics, our current demographic apocalypse, and the medical-industrial complex thanatizing our future.
     
    My leadership is doing what!? (army.mil)
    "Weapons of Mass Deception" were unleashed generations ago by increasingly self-deluded American elites. They have since warped the U.S. electorate's perception of reality. According to Dietrich, NOW is the time for TOTAL disclosure.

    Pentagon, Pentagram, and Satanism
    (22:29) Sean Stone interviews Douglas Dietrich about devil worship in military

    (Sept. 9, 2013) The Pentagon and high-level Satanic magic are discussed in addition to the unusual history surrounding 9/11, Aleister Crowley, the anti-gods, and more are discussed in the final part of Douglas Dietrich's Buzzsaw interview with Sean Stone, son of Director Oliver Stone. How is the military able to manipulate 50% of the government's discretionary budget and keep total power as they put the world on a collision course with destruction? The answer is surprising.
     
    Douglas Dietrich was a Research Librarian for the Department of Defense at El Presidio Real de San Francisco Military Base in California. There, along with his primary duty of destroying secret documents, he alleges he was assigned to locate and access incredibly rare occult grimoires for the officially recognized Satanic Chaplain of the United States Army, Lt. Col. Michael A. Aquino. Dietrich is a historian, whistleblower, writer, speaker, and activist.
    COMMENTS
    (Miranda Thomson) Even though historian Dietrich makes a few errors on time spans in his oratory, his knowledge is encyclopedic! I have few if any doubts as to the veracity of his statements, including the use of atomic weapons by Japan immediately after Nagasaki against the Russians. I doubt the Americans would have had any problem with that. Something stopped the Russians, and it certainly wasn't a fear of the U.S. using an atomic bomb against them. We were still "allies," after all. The Russians would have not have quit if something had not made them quit. And neither the U.S. nor the Japanese could have stopped them with conventional weapons: The bulk of U.S. soldiers were in the European theatre, not the Pacific. The Russians had promised the U.S. and Britain to enter the war within three months of Germany's defeat, which happened on May 8, 1945. That would make it August 8, 1945. I just watched the History Channel's "Japanese Secret Weapons of WW II," and although it said nothing about Japan's nuclear capabilities, it did mention that the Russian military juggernaut could not be stopped by the U.S. or Japan. What stopped them? It seems it was Japanese nukes!

    (Zipcrazed) I have wondered why as Americans we are not taught in public school about the atrocities Japan visited on China (in the late 1930s to early 1940s), when they exceeded the atrocities visited by Nazis on Jews, Poles, gays, Gypsies, and other "undesirables."  I bet everyone knows why....

    Real "demon possession" in Indiana (video)

    A woman and three children claim to be possessed by demons. A 9-year-old boy walks backward up a wall in the presence of [two official eyewitnesses,] a family [Department of Child Services] case manager and [a registered] hospital nurse.
     
    Gary police Capt. Charles Austin said it was the strangest story he had ever heard.

    Officer Austin, a 36-year veteran of the Gary Police Department, said he initially thought Indianapolis resident Latoya Ammons and her family concocted an elaborate tale as a way to make money. But after several visits to their home and interviews with witnesses, Austin said simply, "I am a believer."
     
    Siddhartha faced Mara (a "devil") and "demons" (yakkhas) under the Bodhi tree.
     
    Not everyone involved with the family was inclined to believe its incredible story. And many readers will find Ammons' supernatural claims impossible to accept.
     
    Inside haunted house (Gary Police Dept.)
    But whatever the cause of the creepy occurrences that befell the family -- whether they were seized by a systematic delusion or demonic possession -- it led to one of the most unusual cases ever handled by the Department of Child Services (DCS). Many of the events are detailed in nearly 800 pages of official records obtained by The Indianapolis Star and recounted in more than a dozen interviews with police, DCS personnel, psychologists, family members, and a Catholic priest.
     
    Brown Lady ghost (answers.com)
    Ms. Ammons, who swears by her story, has been unusually open. While she spoke on condition her children not be interviewed or named, she signed releases letting The Star review medical, psychological, and official records that are not open to the public -- and that are not always flattering.
     
    Furthermore, the family's story is made only more bizarre because it involves a DCS intervention, a string of psychological evaluations, a police investigation and, ultimately, a series of exorcisms. It's a tale, they say, that started with flies. More

    "Goblins" in Buddhism
    Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson, Wisdom Quarterly Wikipedia edit

    Ancient Greece, and therefore what we call the "West," inherited its mythology from India

    Ancient Greek "Pan"
    A kumbhāṇḍa (Pāli kumbhaṇḍa) is one of a group of dwarfish, misshapen "spirits," shapeshifting goblins, gnomes, duendes, cretins, poltergeists, among the lesser earthbound forest entities of Buddhist cosmology and Indian mythology.
     
    Kumbhāṇḍa was a dialectal form for "gourd," who may have gotten their name from being thought to resemble gourds in some way, for example in having big stomachs.
     
    But kumbhāṇḍa can also be interpreted as "pot-egg" -- "pot" (kumbh ) and "egg" (aṇḍa), egg being a common euphemism for "testicle." These creatures were imagined as having testicles "as big as pots," much as salacious Pan is portrayed as constantly erect phallus.
     
    Modern mythical American "Goatmen" (AM)
    The terms kumbhāṇḍa and yakṣa ("demon," "ogre") are sometimes used for the same creatre, yakṣa (Pali, yakkha) in these cases is the more general term, including a variety of shapeshifting entities.
     
    Kumbhāṇḍas are classed as earthlings subordinate to one of the Four Great Sky Kings (cāturmahārājikakāyika devas), namely the Regent Virūḷhaka, Guardian of the South. One of the chiefs of the kumbhāṇḍas is called Kumbhīra.
     
    "Angels" (generally good light-beings), humans, and "demons" (generally harmful light beings)

    A family from Nketa 7 suburb dumped its tenant's "goblin" at the Tshabalala Police Station, sending cops fleeing in different directions.

    The incident occurred at about 8:00 pm on Wednesday. A family that claimed a lodger owned the goblin [kumbandha, duende] brought it to the station in a suitcase.

    "We heard some screaming from the charge office and most officers who had knocked off rushed to see what was happening. At first everyone gathered around the suitcase, wanting to see what was inside," said a cop.

    The officer said a traditional healer who had come with the family opened the suitcase and a weird looking creature jumped out of a bottle that was filled with blood.

    "No one told anyone it was time to run. One minute, the charge office was full, the next, it was empty. I think some people went out through the windows because we could not all have fitted through the door. Fat cops and slim cops all ran for their lives screaming," said the cop. More

    Tyler, 9, dad, and Sherpa scale tallest peak

    Our hero Buddha Boy (dharmasangha.info)
    A 9-year-old boy from Orange County has become the youngest person in recorded history to reach the summit of Argentina's Aconcagua mountain, which is the tallest peak in the Western and Southern hemispheres.

    Tyler Armstrong of Yorba Linda reached the summit on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24th) with his father Kevin and a Tibetan Buddhist Sherpa, Lhawang Dhondup, who has climbed Mt. Everest multiple times.

    I challenge you to karate, Tyler!
    "That really hit my heart because me and my dad [and my Sherpa] did it together," Tyler said. "Most 9-year-olds...usually play video games, so they don't expect a 9-year-old to climb a 22,841 foot mountain."
     
    They were in fine spirits Friday as they left Aconcagua, whose sheer precipices and bitter cold have claimed more than 100 climbers' lives.

    "You can really see the world's atmosphere up there. All the clouds are under you, and it's really cold," Tyler said, describing the summit to The Associated Press. "It doesn't look anything like a kid's drawing of a mountain. It's probably as big as a house at the summit, and then it's a sheer drop."

    Palestine-Israel at peace
    Only 30 percent of the 7,000 people who obtain permits to climb Aconcagua each year make the summit, said Nicolas Garcia, who handled their logistics from down below. No one under 14 is usually allowed, so the family had to persuade an Argentine judge that Tyler could safely accomplish the feat. In their case, they took the "Polish Glacier" route, which doesn't require climbing, and roped themselves together only when crossing steep ice-covered slopes.
     
    "Any kid can really do this, all they have to do is try. And set their mind to the goal," said Tyler, who worked out twice a day for a year and a half to prepare for the climb. He also held fundraisers...

    Aconcagua's previous record-holder was Matthew Moniz of Boulder, Colorado, who was 10 when he reached the summit in 2008.

    7-y.o. Incan mummy (AcEx)
    There was one younger boy who climbed the lower slopes of Aconcagua, Garcia noted: An Inca boy was sacrificed some 500 years ago at 16,400 feet on Piramide ("Pyramid"), one of the mountain's lower peaks. Scientific tests on the mummy, recovered in 1985, put his age at about 7.

    Tyler had already climbed the 19,341-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania at the age of 8, and with Aconcagua conquered, is determined to reach all "seven summits," the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. More
