the point of difficulty is in the summoning of forces, in concentration, in mastering of time and space
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 6 hours ago
Yet, only a little is told in the sacred scriptures, but much more is told in *akasha.* And the depth of akasha is a great fiery fount of historical accuracy. But who can discern the face of akasha? Who can peer behind the covering veil and bring to humanity the truth that their hearts hunger for? I AM Maitreya of the mountains and I seek to inundate the plains below with light--light flowing like a huge glacier, glistening white and coming into the realm of men to tell them once again of the “elder days of Art” when the builders, as your poets have said, “wrought with...

Biden’s Young Hawk: The Case Against Jake Sullivan

Harry Truman. That’s who Jake Sullivan listed as his “political hero/inspiration,” in a Time Magazine “40 Under 40” profile. Fed a question so vague that he could’ve chosen anyone from Cleopatra to Clinton, that Sullivan selected a consummate product of Kansas City’s backroom “machine” politics, and liberal hawk exemplar, is more than instructive — it’s downright disturbing. “Give ‘em Hell” Harry unnecessarily dropped two atomic bombs on babies, and bombastically blundered into a Cold War that nearly ended the world on more than one occasion.

How Bolivia Beat A Military Coup
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
The return of Evo Morales was possibly the most important moment in Bolivian history. This time last year, far-right protesters kidnapped Patricia Arce, the mayor of a small town called Vinto. They made her walk over broken glass. They cut her hair and doused her in petrol and red paint and told her they were walking her to her death. And they were trying to get her to resign and to condemn Evo Morales. She refused to do both and so they tortured her. After the coup took power, she was persecuted. She had 17 criminal charges hanging over her. The post How Bolivia Beat A Military C...
