Continental Airlines Update
An update to our complaint with Continental. As it turns out, the response of Continental is simply to justify themselves. They defend their employees and their policies and in fact blame the greedy and selfish passengers for their failure to act on compassionate grounds. It’s an old story of course. My six year old child does it all the time. When he doesn’t want to take responsibility for things, he blames somebody else. But then, he’s a child. But maybe, in the grander scheme of things, so is Continental. Corporations are regularly treated like human beings (legally anyway), so maybe we should start looking at them in terms of how maturely and responsibly they act. We might have a different view of corporations like Continental, or BP, if we did.

The Law of Attraction Sucks
The Law of Attraction sucks your energy and throws you into a state of despair. Is the Law of Attraction simply the meandering of spiritually naive profiteers, or is it a psychological operation designed to undermine your will to move forward. Use your discernment and you be the judge.
Intermediate
Psychodrama and the limitations of psychology
Here is a forum discussion where and LPer brings forward psychodrama as a possible therapy to deal with trauma induced by The System. The possibilities of the therapy are explored with a particular view to highlighting some of the issues surrounding successful therapy, and the difficulties that might arise from engaging in the type of “group catharis” supported by the theory.
Advanced
Shame, shame, and double shame – profiteering of the fear and angst of others
Another disaster, more human suffering, and another opportunity to profit for some. BP sends billions of gallons of oil into the Gulf and shock jocks have us scrambling in panic and lapping up their nonsense. Peaceful and nonviolent solutions exist but you’re going to have to change your way of thinking about things.

Parables as Teaching Tools
Parables got a bad rap. Common within organized systems of indoctrination, and often confused and obscured intentionally or as a result of the divergence of culture, parables don’t seem to have a modern use. But if you think that you’d be mistaken, parables are heavily used in modern culture and are often implicated in covert systems of thought control. But parables can also be used to emancipate.

Continental Airlines
Here’s a complaint I filed with Continental Airlines for emergency medical travel on a recent trip home. As you’ll see by the complaint, after a delay cause by the airline no effort was made by staff of the airline to accommodate what was a well documented and verifiable medical emergency. In fact, they seemed to [...]
Knowing Nicholas Cage…
Hollywood does it again. Another putrid pile of spiritual propaganda comes oozing out of the Hollywood hills. When will the actors wake up and stop supporting the tripe? Or perhaps the money they make is enough to keep them from thinking too much about what it is they are participating in, and what horrible messages they are sending to our children. Nothing like a fast car and a big house to keep the mind off the Truth.
Little Warriors – Right Action in a Wrong World
The prevalence of child sexual abuse brings a challenge to those who would consider themselves spiritual. Turn a blind eye and pretend it is not happening, or turn and face the reality and start to do something about it. The call of authentic spirituality, the call of awakening and empowerment requires that you do the later.

The Great Invocation
Here we have a visualization of my modern and extremely powerful version of the well known Great Invocation meditation (i.e. this one is NOT by Lucius trust, or whatever). Use this visualization to take control of your own process and awaken, empower, and ascend without all the drama, grief, and struggle you see happening all around you
Indiana Jones and that nauseating feeling
Warning, if you read this, it will spoil the movie ending for you. So I just came back from seeing the new Indiana Jones movie and all I can say is, what a disappointment. Not only were all the action sequences pasted over from the original, but the anti-empowerment propaganda of the series has become [...]
Debt, debt, debt
Debt is out of control, doh. Well, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out where this is all going. Give the current recovery another year or two (marking from the middle of 2009) and then shortly after that there will be another big crises, which will probably “require” another big transfer [...]
