NEWS: FORD PRODUCTION PLUNGED 40% IN 2005. Ford’s production "fell" more than 40% in Canada last year, as consumers "turned away" from the Freestar minivan and Crown Victoria sedans.

Sounds like a Biblical Bell Ring-er to me:
2 Corinthians 5: be ye "reconciled" unto God
2Timothy 3:5 - deny power: from such "turn away"
Also reminds me of the Merlin movie ending.
Pst - restore-ation only by "reconciled" is above
both judgment-all-atonement & ran-some-redemption?
Bible defines itself as "allegory": Gal 4:24
Shakesphere was a master of biblical allegory.
He was also contemporary with Bible Translators.
They found a Holy Bible in his attic.
Pst - I’m not condeming FORD company, simply using the ‘allegory’ of ‘Fix Or Repair Daily’ religions compared to "reconciled" needs no Fix nor Repair; For His Grace is not only amazing, but also "sufficient".

Authors of books on Buddhism & meditation often mention
"awareness" and "mindfulness." The definitions of the two
are very similar, yet also very different.
Who can explain the difference between them?

R&S,

To my understanding, there’s an aspect of Buddhism that has you focus on the things around you, what they feel like, how they look, how they smell…a form of meditation, I believe.

Right now, I am a vegan and into fitness, but I also drink and sometimes smoke, so this would clearly be the first to go.

I am interested in this mostly because I feel that I need to be on a path to enlightenment. I have flashbacks to a possible past life, and I feel karma has caught up with me too fast, as if to say, "Look, you need to get back on track, you were on your way!" I am still rather young (in my mid-20’s), and yet every type of person I have ever badmouthed when I was younger is exactly what I have been handed in life.

I tried looking up information, but wasn’t really sure what was a good source and what wasn’t. My religious background is Christianity, and I was very interested in the peace and harmony preachings of Christ, as well as the meditation and fasting spoken of in the Bible in hopes for religious enlightenment. However, much else wasn’t mentioned other than fasting and prayer, which is why I’m interested in a religion that has more of a "guide" for meditation.

Thank You and Namaste,
Thomas
Thank you so much so far. I have tried consuming while in the dark as well. It is hard for me to do because I become distracted easily. It’s not an ADD thing or what have you…I just am very aware of everything else around me and start to focus on a noise I might hear outside instead of the tea in my hands.

Any tricks to overcome this, or just practice?
@ HUMBLE ONE: The object in question is a cup of tea, usually lukewarm.

Obesity ?
93% of the cases of fat people and obesity comes from the genes. It is hereditary.
Scientists are very close to discovering the Fat and Obese gene, and will soon find a permanent cure for this !!
Even "The Buddha" yes was fat. But for him too, it was in his genetic makeup. He inherited this gene from his parents. Although, he was one of the very few people in history that overcome this gene. He went on a 7 year fast from food, in hopes of more quickly getting rid of all his negative defilements(impatience, anger, intolerance, etc.) but he came to the realization that this happens through Mindfulness Meditation, not through starving himself !
He did through his 7 years fast, lost over 385 pounds. That is why many see statues of a Fat Buddha and also see statues of a more healthy Buddha, thinner, wholesome and healthier physically. The last two-thirds of his life he was thin and healthy.

I use to be 268 lbs.thru Southbeach Diet lost I 168 pounds & exercise 1 hr day!

He is the author of "Mindfulness for beginners", and "Coming to our senses: healing ourselves and the world through mindfulness.", and "Everyday blessings: the inner work of mindful parenting.", and "Mindfulness Meditation audio book (2 CD’s)" which are excellent books for learning to develop inner peace, becoming a successful non-judgemental parent, and basically walking/living everyday in true happiness !!!

In the last 2 months, I picked up these books (& audio book), and they honestly really help one to self-transform there life!

They are simply excellent reading, even if a person is not interested in self-help or anything like that.

It is excellent information for people that wish to help loved ones and friends as well.

Avid readers out there, check it out.

The author is a doctor in the state of Mass. and a writer, and has his PhD.

Buddhism: - ultimate reality vs conventional reality - impermanence, which leads to non-self - inability to sustain, therefore dhukkha the first noble truth - 4 natural elements - eye consciousness and its relation to mind - mind and its relation to thought & reality and meditation - mindfulness - concentration

When I was a previous religion all it really had to teach me was "looks complicated, so god made it. Praise god for creating eyes and trees. In heaven the trees are even better than this one, I hope I see more good trees after death".

Especailly for color. Any dream have some sort of color even if it all white or black. I mean especailly when you know where the setting of your dream. –> I know feng shui and dream interpretation is two different thing, I’m just wondering if you can use some concept from feng shui to help. A simple yes or no and a why will be fine. I’m not sure what tag to put it in so i will just choose health.
