Litigation as Spiritual Practice by George Felos
Holy cow! This lawyer Felos is a New Age nut case. He has somehow perverted yoga and other ancient religions into meshing with the kill'em (the disabled) ethos of Scientology
_________
“As a spiritual aspirant for close to twenty-five years with definite monastic tendencies, my friends don’t understand how I survive within the aggressive and often highly negative energies of the courtroom.” (x)
“The urge behind this book is to encourage and impel you to utilize your life’s endeavor, whatever it may be, to its highest purpose – to move from making a living from your work, to having your work make you more alive.” (xi)
In the acknowledgments section, Felos notes that he has drawn from a wide range of spiritual teachers and teachings, with particular acknowledgment to the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. Throughout the book, Felos cites Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Native American and other spiritual traditions from which he draws his views.

Felos describes himself as a “crusader” for the “right-to-die” in chapter 21, where he also admits to enjoying his status as a news celebrity, describing it as “exhilarating” to see himself on television. (217) Later he writes, “I was getting pretty good at trying my case in the media and shaping public opinion. … Developing a good ‘sound bite’ helped, but so did the media’s support of the cause. Some of my best quotes appeared on the editorial pages.” (238) Responding to media requests after Gov. Martinez vetoed (July 3, 1989) the bill permitting the removal feeding tubes which was initiated by the Browning case and moved along with the assistance of a “powerful state senator from Jacksonville” (230), Felos writes, “…there I was on the holiday news—Mrs. Browning’s white knight, stalwart at his covered desk, intently crafting her plea of last hope to the Supreme Court. Did I love it! And given the strenuous effort, I much appreciated the positive reinforcement.” (242)
Chapter 22, “Collective Consciousness and the Fear of Death,” has an extensive discussion of the hospice movement which Felos is deeply involved in, noting, “The force that created today’s Hospice also propels the right-to-die movement. We sense that keeping one alive against his wishes—artificially perpetuating the body once the spirit is ready to depart—is a defilement of life’s final rite of passage. It appeared so obvious to me that the ability to die with dignity, as that term is defined by each individual, is an essential personal right.” (223)

When describing the “cathartic releases” of “blocks of my unconscious past” from his body (20), Felos describes the process: “As these unprocessed experiences entered my throat, I often felt absolute, unimaginable terror—like I was being murdered, hacked to bits. One time I could actually feel a long blade plunging into my chest; another time I could smell the dank, putrid odor of an attacker. Other dark cells brought on indescribably intense grief and its accompanying pain, as if a beloved child of mine were dying. … Although the passage of a cell through the throat seemed to take an eternity, in relative time, the process usually elapsed in less than fifteen minutes. Once the block was experienced and discharged, I often noticed a feeling of lightness, as if a dead weight had been lifted. I also sensed an interior spaciousness, sometimes so vast, I felt as if I could rise like a helium balloon. Sometimes after a release I would feel a joy and peace, a homecoming, like the prodigal son returning to the abode of the Father after a long, wayward journey. This experience of integration, bringing into awareness that part of me previously excluded, was also occasionally followed by a period of insight. Here, the truth of why the past event occurred and how its suppression had shaped my personality (sometimes over numerous lifetimes), was reveled to me.” (20-21)
Yeah, you're right.
But since Chevy is now a Castro loving COMMIE, he might as well be a NAZI. Same culture of death.
".....Just like Jack Kervorkian,..."
Kevorkians activities were a bit different....agree with him or not, Kevorkian took extreme measures to assure and document (on video) that his procedure was in fact the will of the conscious and disabled patient......this crowd in Florida is not about assisted suicide, they are proponents of active and court-ordered euthanasia! Lets call it what it is......Schiavo was ORDERED directly, not merely "allowed". see "shall cause"......not "may"......so the legal precedent/case law is set!
"ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that absent a stay from the appellate courts, the guardian, Michael Schiavo, shall cause the removal of nutrition and hydration, from the Ward, THERESA SCHIAVO, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005."

His press conference yesterday was nauseating. All about how happy Terri is to be dying. Barf.
This kook would have LOVED Auschwitz.
I believe this. But the dank, putrid odor he felt inside of him wasn't what he's deceived himself into believing.
Felos, Greer, and M. Schiavo deserve the hot place when they're finished in this life.
When the news repeats footage of MS, they show him going into an (his?) office, then they close-up on two large gold bracelets on his right wrist, then on the wall behind him, and a partial view of a large, yes, LARGE painting of a Yogi(of Hindu? origin).
Does this mean that Felo's New Age philosophy is MS's philosophy?
Does any one know if MS was brought up in a church and which one?
