Happy Futurism: A Lifeline for Optimists
Category: Consciousness , Happiness , Spirituality
The world is going through a downturn, which doesn't make for happiness, yet I think the larger trends are surprisingly hopeful. News cycles are fueled by bad news, and ratings must be kept up with impending disasters, whatever it takes to keep the tension high. The evening news gives the impression of a world lurching from crisis to crisis, playing brinkmanship ten times a week.Read article and comment

To me the best state of mind is when one has been enabled to experience all the steps on the ladder of the pyramid in an average way. When one really has been enable to reach a stage of well being which does not show superlatives in any way, just the average man or woman who has led an average life in which average things have brought the average good and bad. This is the so-called `dull` life but it assures one of an average health, an average wealth and an average attitude towards life in general. It is not what you watch on television or read about in the media because it is not sensational, not exciting, it is not selling etc. etc. But in the long run it gives one the most satisfactory life there is. It is the average guy or gall in the street whom no one sees and from whom no one know what good he/she does and that is not necessary either...

A Different Answer: Let's Occupy Ourselves
Category: Happiness , Politics , Blog Talk Radio
It's hard to imagine someone, except on the far right, not sympathizing with the grievances of the Occupy movement. Women, young people, and minorities have been the hardest hit by the loss of millions of jobs. The fact that Wall Street's recklessness brought down the entire economy led to a series of injustices: the malefactors were salvaged while ordinary citizens suffered, their excesses were not curbed by regulatory laws, and to rub salt into the wound, the same risk-takers are now enjoying huge profits, largely through the same reckless behavior.Read article and comment

To occupy myself to me means making use of the whispers presently in my heart To be aware of that voice always telling me what to do to have that choice That is my Soul Trying to keep me whole Signing up NOW to Soul University Always giving me Something to learn I have it all inside of me Able to express it poetically

Pastor’s Wife
Category: Consciousness , Happiness , Relationships , Spirituality , Ask Deepak , Blog Talk Radio
I'm a young South African woman who married at the age of 19 to a pastor who founded and is heading a Christian church. Over the last few years certain events have happened in my marriage that made me realize that I do not want to remain married to my husband and I do not see a future for myself as a leader in the traditional Christian church, but somehow my family and the elders around me are discouraging me from leaving my husband regardless of the fact that he has had a continuous extra marital affair, has anger problems which consists of a huge temper and pathological lying. Their message to me is that is how marriages are I just have to be a strong wife and hold on to my husband regardless because our marriage is ordained by God and therefore if I come out of it I will be diverting from the will of God. I’ve heard of a principle that you marry no one but yourself and I believe that if my husband is really a manifestation of the state of my consciousness then I have the right to step back even from my marriage and deal with those things within myself.Read article and comment
I'm afraid to make a mistake and throw away what the people in my society see as important (marriage) and yet I have a yearning to live an authentic life being true to what I feel in my heart is right...., my husband is a good person and like everyone he has his weaknesses and mistakes but I feel I cannot live with him and I believe somehow my need to take a different direction in life might have brought forth every situation that has happened in our marriage thus far... What do I do?

You absolutely have the right to step back from marriage to deal with those things within yourself. It sounds as if you are surrounded by people who care for only their own agendas rather than your well being. Don`t listen to anybody who tells you that your marriage is ordained. It is not. Trust what your feelings tell you. Beware of those closed-minded people who try to influence your decisions. They are trying to control you and are using their religion to back them. God is going to speak to you from inside your soul, not from the mouths of fools.

Comment See all commentsto read all the above I would say: there is not so much difference in both your visions. So to me this means that equality and equanimity are more and more established in society of today. Hopefully this really is going to stay this way :)
