Our next FREE Community Conversation
|
Greetings Reader - Our free monthly series, Community Conversations, continues next week. This month, again by popular request, we’re going to extend and deepen our conversation from last month and talk about "Karma, Consciousness, and Healing." We’ll explore issues that revolve around our responsibility for the choices we make in this life—and the choices we made in past lives, personal growth, and the many things that have an impact on us that are beyond our control. What does yoga wisdom have to say about disabilities, illnesses, or other kinds of personal misfortune and our spiritual evolution? Is there a cause and effect relationship? Are the afflictions we experience attributable to random fate in a senseless universe, punishment for past misdeeds long ago forgotten, things we unconsciously wish upon ourselves and irrationally perpetuate of my own volition, cruelty arising from divine indifference, or something we need, though surely don’t want, to help move us further along the path to enlightenment? We'll explore these and other related question in our next COMMUNITY CONVERSATION a free monthly study group Live via Zoom @ 12:00 pm Eastern Time NEXT CONVERSATION: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 TOPIC: "KARMA, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND HEALING" Registration is free – CLICK HERE to get updates and the Zoom link!

Greetings Reader - Last Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem went to the city of Portland, Oregon to get a firsthand look at what President Trump called a “very serious left-wing terror threat in our country.” What she saw was a handful of non-violent protesters playing music from The Benny Hill Show to make the point that Trump’s characterization of the situation, and her appearance to survey it, was absurd and foolish. As Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo put...

Greetings Reader - A lot of people are talking . . . a lot. People in power who are saying scary, weird, and wildly inappropriate things. People out of power (and past their expiration dates) who are trying to sound defiant yet reasonable. People talking about the what’s going to happen, what won't happen, what might happen, what should happen, . . . Talking heads talking about what all the talking means. Talk, talk, talk: is it only talk? A lot of it is, but not all of it. I'm hearing some...
