There’s this wonderful teaching in the yoga world, and also in the Buddhist tradition, in Shaiva Tantra, in Taoism and Christian mysticism and I’m sure many others, and it has to do with energy, and the various obsessions into which we pour all our fear, passion, curiosity, doubt and hate, suspicion and love.
It goes like this: “Where attention goes, energy flows.” It’s bumper sticker shorthand for a far deeper teaching, one that instructs the practitioner to be extraordinarily vigilant where she places her daily practices, her breath, her heart and thoughts, for one simple reason: Nothing in life has much power, much influence, much existence at all until we as individuals and/or as a collective consciousness give it all that power, all that meaning – for good, ill or otherwise.

Like Islamic terrorists are really addressing for rectification of material grievances.
Puhleeaze... Islamic terrorist organizations are among the wealthiest organized crime businesses on earth.
Morford is high on weed.
A regular Renaissance Man... Haha!
Been a long time since the moronic Morford has turned up here on FR. I thought he must have retired. But he’s back, and moronic as ever!
Ping.
Miss Morford the super fag spews her usual venomous nonsense.
This ain't your two daddy's yoga world.
The modern world has made the Biblical issue more complicated than it was in Paul’s day.
Back then, the government was the Emperor and his officials. Christians just had to obey the laws made and enforced by them, as long as those laws didn’t require them to break God’s laws.
Today, at least in America, we are all to some extent rulers as well as subjects. We all share in the diffused sovereignty of the State. Which means the biblical directives to rulers apply to us to some extent, as well as those to subjects.
IOW, allowing them to kill you, and supporting them as victims with no other rational recourse, while supplying them with protection and funds, is the only humane way to deal with them.
Or, as I once overheard the 5 year old across the street say to my young brother, "Scotty, I'm going to hit you, but don't you hit me back", is now a valid ROE.
Those who have not swords can still die upon them.
She’ll make a fine dhimmi!
(If they don’t behead her).
Agreed.
Sit in Lotis position and meditate the fuzzy wuzzies away.
“San Francisco Chronicle” serves as a barf alert.
Moonbat City.
Miss Morford, haven’t heard from her in awhile.
Does she still beat her girlfriend?
Anyone who uses the phrase, "Bush-Sized Mistake," has serious issues.
Hitler only needed a hug.
Typical of liberals is to embrace the Jesus of peace and turn the other cheek; but forget the rest of the Gospel: convert; spread the Gospel; avoid all evil; render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. Governments do have God-given duties to their citizens, and that is to protect them from all enemies.
Read the title and knew it was that idiot Morford.
