What Is Your Inner Shapeshifter?

The Indian snake creature known as the naga was
believed to reside in groups apart from normal
humans, and many legends tell of their secret
citites hidden deep in the jungle, underground,
or underwater. In many tales, the naga is often
of royal lineage, or sometimes even divinity.
Nagas are often associated with water, and it
is said that they can control the weather.

As a naga, you possess strong leadership abilities,
you are highly intelligent, and you can also be
a bit intimidating. You also enjoy the finer
things in life and like to be pampered, and
you're not too keen on mixing and mingling with
the unwashed masses.

Earth, from deep within

Impart to us those vitalizing forces
that come, O Earth, from deep within your body,
your central point, your navel; purify us wholly.
The Earth is mother; I am son of Earth.
The Rain-giver is my father; may he shower on us
blessings!


-Rig Veda

The holidays are here!

I am so excited about the upcoming holidays! For me, it is a time to gather 'round with all your best buddies and family and bake cookies and make the house look gorgeous and best of all, sing together! I found some Yule Carols. So I suggest everyone memorize these words if you want to add a slightly different tune to your holiday celebrations. :) At school for Thanksgiving next week, we are going to have a big celebration. I'm not really a big fan of Thanksgiving as it is more like Thanks-taking. I wonder what the Native Americans feel about the holiday. Some would say, "Why complain when you get the day off from school?". I'm not complaining, I'm just pointing out a fact. I mean, what justifies kicking someone out of their home and then you holding a feast over it?

Hindu Wisdom

It is but few who hear about the Self
Fewer still dedicate their lives to its
Realization. Wonderful is the one
Who speaks about the Self; rare are they
Who make it the supreme goal of their lives.

In need of rest

I seriously need to go to bed and relax or something. For the past few nights, I think I've simply passed out. I remember one night, I was drifting off to sleep while reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (good book by the way!). I was trying to get my dog to go to sleep because he kept walking around and I didn't want to hear his chains. Then, I thought it was five minutes later and I told my dog to go to bed. I decided to glance at the clock and it was in fact five hours later! That's crazy.

Know the Self

Know the Self as lord of the chariot,
The body as the chariot itself,
The discriminating intellect as charioteer,
And the mind as reins.
The senses, say the wise, are the horses;
Selfish desires are the roads they travel.
When the Self is confused with the body,
Mind, and senses, they point out, he seems
To enjoy pleasure and suffer sorrow.

-Katha Upanishad

Do prayers ever come true?

Many people often wonder whether their prayers to God, The Spirit, Allah, etc. has been heard and answered. I often feel that our prayers are answered most of the time, but based on a few things. One, I don't think that if we ask for specifics such as wanting a dog with green spots would actually materialize. Unless of course, you end up with a dog who gets some strange disease that gets green spots (whatever the hell that may be).

I think that if we believe in what we ask for and do everything in our power to make it come true, then it will come true. It must! "Believe and it shall be given" were the words of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago. These words are very powerful, whether you are aware or not. At times we may wish for things such as a full recovery from a terminal illness of a relative. Many times we ask that this person becomes free of all pain and suffering and to be happy again. And in many cases, the person still dies. Think about the scenario though. For those who believe in an afterlife, what is it that we believe about the afterlife? Is it that when we die, we still have to go through trials similar to what life has given us? The chance of us getting diseases and coming across a period in which we seem to go through nothing but suffering are always present? Or is it that we believe the person is happy and fulfilled in the presence of Divinity? For some, facing this issue is a tough one. Many people at or soon after the moment of the relative's death would want the individual to be alive and well with them. But according to many faiths, the deceased and those who passed are with us, always sending us signs that they are there for us. Many times, we can be so caught up in our grief, that we don't see the signs.

But to bring us back to the question of whether our prayers materialize... I think it all depends on what you're willing to put into it. I do recall in quite a few faiths it is said that "God will not help those who do not help themselves". And also, check out the saying, "What goes around, comes around". If you believe that both of these statements are true, then would it not make sense that if we help others, we are in turn helping ourselves? Spiritually, I feel that whenever we do something out of the goodness of our souls- simply just because, that it is being takennote of. Even if a person does not say thank you for the good you have done for them, the universe, God, Spirit, Allah, etc. takes note of this. And so, whenever you pray for something reasonable (i.e. just a nice healthy, obediant dog, NOT with the green spots) then somewhere, somehow, the blessing will come. I don't think it's good to simply wait and time divinity because it never seems to work that way. I know from experience, you will know a miracle when you come across one. It could be in the form of someone saying something to someone else and it seemed to be the right information that you needed. Or it could be a thought that you haven't thought of in years that could help you solve a mystery or answer a question. To me, simple things like that are signs that Divinity does "listen" and answer our prayers. I think the most imporant part is that we believe that it whatever it is, will come.

Now that Bush is serving his second term...

Now that Bush is serving his second term, I can tell you that we won't have to worry about him again. And since women never make the presidency, we know his daughters won't get a chance. I think we'll have another terrorist attack and our relationship with Iraq will get much worse if we don't get out....I can't believe it. People's reasons for voting for Bush was morality? MORALITY OVER TERRORISM AND WAR?! What the hell constitues for morality? No gays and lesbians, that's it? That's what's more important than the economy and the legitimate reason to go to war?

We're in deep shit...

Fun stuff

Here are some images that I thought were funny to help ease the tension of election day. (Or simply to just have a little fun)

I voted today!

Yes! I voted today! I was so nervous because it was my first time, but I did it! My mom had to embarass me by taking pictures and I stood confused for a moment, but I did it! Anyway, on my way into the building, there were people of course standing out there with signs. Someone had a stack of what seemed to be flyers. If you've read my previous blog posts, you know I don't like looking into the eyes of people with flyers, but again, I let my guard down. I was given a print out of some article online.

If you want to see it for yourself, I was given George W. Bush: Presidential or Pathological?

Anyway, I cannot stress enough that you must get out there and vote if you are a registered voter of the U.S.! This race is too close and I'm nervous as hell! Because I know whichever way this election goes, someone is going to get mad and it might be like the end of a sports game in which the loser team rolls over people's cars and do some other forms of damage. In a way, I laugh at the fact that I would think that, but when I read articles of people removing lawn signs and in some cases, people resorting to putting itching powder on their signs so people won't steal them, it makes you think.

And as we know, Osama has not been caught yet, but if he gets caught by the end of tonight...lol.
