God is the Universal Consciousness-Matter. It is everywhere. There is nothing where it is not present. Yet it is not uniform. Its constituent parts evolve to different levels and take on different shapes. The universe is pervaded by God-Universal Consciousness-Matter although it acquires different forms like earth, plant, animal and man.

You hear all kinds of things about what this sight is supposed to mean -- I don't think I'll ever understand what they're saying, but something about this pair of sneakers was particularly poignant. They were twirling as I shot them this afternoon.

I"m not the type that forwards emails along that have been passed all over the internet but I received this amazing photo from a good friend that I just sat and stared at and thought I would share on my blog. With a little investigation on www.snopes.com/photos/patriotic/liberty.asp it appears to be legit so I feel pretty safe sharing the details here.

 

Details are below but I wanted to mention that what amazed me about this photo was the shear number of people involved and the fact that it was taken in 1918. There weren't any two way radios or cell phones to communicate to everyone on the field and I'm sure the guys at the top of the photo (a quarter mile away) were wondering when the picture was going to be taken. More.....

Are you an A-lister (sorry "Thought Leader") who's been "Pheltup"? Is this for real? Why don't they just say "We'll perform social favors for you for a good writeup..."

Loretto Chapel is famous for its "miraculous" spiral staircase. "Miraculous" because of its construction and strange beginnings which is a fun legend to share. www.snopes.com/fact-check/stairway-from-heaven/

A wonderful mystery; no one knows who built this or how... check it out here:

Either way, it's beautiful.
