I see that this is an old post, but would like to say that the Black Lodge Singers have a myspace page and can also be found on youtube.

Sounds a bit like working your way through a complex, modern dream. Actually, I don't really see much purpose for living other than living itself, and that to the best of my individual potential. In this world and life, however, I see that living resembles more of a struggle, for many...

To live purposefully, I suppose. The purpose unravels itself as I do.

This is probably all encompassing and a more important thing to nurture, I suppose.

Flute, gong... drum. Jaw harp. :)

I just watched 'Signs' with Mel Gibson recently, having missed it when it first came out. I didn't buy it. If they had space ships... they would have had more than little aerosol thingies with poison in them stashed up their sleeves. A baseball bat wouldn't do it, I don't think.

Then perhaps they should concentrate on the solution and adhere to it, regardless of the salary or who goes to jail when the schlitz hits the fan. I do agree with you, though. :)

That everyone in my country's government is some kind of blockhead second guesser and doesn't really give a crap about me. It's a very real and very tangible concern. It couldn't possibly be true. That's how I deal with it.

My full shahada was actually years in the making and, as I was learning about Sufi poets and the different sects and whatnot, I also happened to come across a book on Vedanta that I found very enlightening. The book, on its own, had a kind of glow to it unlike any other. I'm pretty sure it was...

Thanks and cheers!

I think, if one reads the Quran in light of rationality and science (including consideration for history and locale), it can be found in accordance... like any sincere religious text. My greatest concern is the varying translations of such texts and the interpretations which people are...

I find that a good stretch is essential for me to get a good cycle of breathes going for the tasks which make up my day. I do it regularly, in the morning and at night... with the dawn and sunset, if I am able. I prefer the Small Heaven qigong technique, in which I do a cycle of 3 stretches...

I'm just an artist, really, and a very lazy one, by modern standards. Not looking for a degree but I can respect such a thing, if it exists.

I'm actually a card-carrying member. :) I was ordained a ULC minister by a grizzled, old biker several years ago and the title on my little wallet credential reads, simply, "Interfaith Minister". There is a way to connect it all, if we look for a connection. The opposite is also true, of...

Thanks. I actually took Islamic shahada many years ago but remain a Sufi in my belief that no matter what aspect "God" takes in our human archetypes, whether it be by name or by gender, it is still the same or, at least, emanates from the same source. One could be atheist and believe the same...

Was compelled to register an account here, for reasons yet undecided. I'm not generally inclined towards microscopes or vacuums, regardless of where I stand on things, so I must assume that the voice of reason is lurking around here, somewhere. Peace.
