“Tread softly, and with Joy” (ancient Thai saying) ~ Ben Ralston
by Ben Ralston on Sep 30, 2011
It wasn’t just their gifts that made me uncomfortable. It was their generosity of spirit. They gave me some things, yes. But they gave me all of their attention. They were totally present. And I’d never met anyone before that wasn’t in two places at once…

Boulder’s Electricity Debate: Easy Enough for a Baby to Understand. ~ Ted Rose
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 30, 2011
After spending years working on clean energy across America, I have become active in a campaign in our own community, Boulder, Colorado.
This current debate over Boulder’s energy future can seem complex, so I wondered how I would break it down for my nine-month-old son if he spoke his first words this morning and asked: “Dad, why do you care about this?” I’d probably say something like this…

I have been trying to do this all alone, and when I don’t understand, I fall to pieces, I am making a mess. I am making a mess of love and destruction. Help.

Why Are Yoga Peeps So Broke? ~ Sergio DiazGranados
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 30, 2011
I think most of us would agree that we don’t need a lot of money. In fact, most of my friends would say a solid $40,000 – $50,000 after taxes would be plenty to live a good life. Yet so many are barely getting by; so many wonderful people with amazing ideas and intentions barely have enough to eat, let alone fork over cash for a monthly yoga membership. I have a friend who will trade eating properly on a regular basis for taking yoga. Is this the way we should be living?

by Andrew Cohen on Sep 30, 2011
On Sunday, October 9, Boulder Integral Center is proud to host Andrew Cohen and Ken Wilber, for their third live Guru and Pandit event. Using Cohen’s new book, Evolutionary Enlightenment: A New Path to Spiritual Awakening, as a starting point—a book that Wilber calls “one of the most significant books on spirituality written in the postmodern world”—these two mystical pathfinders will explore why only a profound integration of timeless Being and dynamic Becoming can offer a spiritual realization that makes sense of life in today’s rapidly changing world.

The ethical choice is vegan.
by Gary Smith on Sep 29, 2011
All sentient beings feel pain. Meat, dairy and eggs come from sentient beings. Meat, dairy and eggs always cause pain. Humans do not have a biological need to eat meat, dairy and eggs. So, if you choose to eat meat, dairy and eggs, you are choosing to cause pain and to participate in exploitation and murder. Participating in pain and murder is always unethical. The ethical choice is vegan.

I spent a week at this dose with no adverse affects, followed by a week of one-day-on, one-day-off. Aside from some fatigue I was still feeling pretty good even though this taper was faster than any doctor would have recommend. At this point I wanted to push to the finish, win the race to be free!
