What you're seeking is seeking you.

Those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. The Books of the Bible Jesus Heals on the Sabbath 1 After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up, take your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, “It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take it up and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd that was there. 14 Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well! Do not sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 Therefore the Jews started persecuting Jesus, because he was doing such things on the sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, and I also am working.” 18 For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God. The Authority of the Son 19 Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise. 20 The Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be astonished. 21 Indeed, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. 22 The Father judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 “Very truly, I tell you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; 27 and he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not be astonished at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and will come out—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. Witnesses to Jesus 30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony to me is true. 33 You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth. 34 Not that I accept such human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But I have a testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his form, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe him whom he has sent. 39 “You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that testify on my behalf. 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to have life. 41 I do not accept glory from human beings. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?” New Revised Standard Version Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content and products, sharing "More life.

We the people. Written September 17, 1787. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Article I Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Section 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature. No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three. When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies. The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment. Section 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote. Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the Second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year; so that one-third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies. No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen. The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided. The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States. The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present. Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualifica-tion to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishment, according to Law. Section 4. The Time, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day. Section 5. Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide. Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member. Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present be entered on the Journal. Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting. Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place. No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office. Section 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills. Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law. Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

Section 9.

Article II Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four years, and, together with the Vice-President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States. No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. In case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected. The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session. Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. The trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed. Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted. Article IV Section 1. Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof. Section 2. The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress. The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory of other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.

Article V The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article, and that no State without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate. Article VI All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof, and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. Article VII The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same. Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth.

The Books of the Bible Pagan Shrines to Be Destroyed Deuteronomy 12:1 These are the statutes and ordinances that you must diligently observe in the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you to occupy all the days that you live on the earth. 2 You must demolish completely all the places where the nations whom you are about to dispossess served their gods, on the mountain heights, on the hills, and under every leafy tree. 3 Break down their altars, smash their pillars, burn their sacred poles with fire, and hew down the idols of their gods, and thus blot out their name from their places. 4 You shall not worship the LORD your God in such ways. 5 But you shall seek the place that the LORD your God will choose out of all your tribes as his habitation to put his name there. You shall go there, 6 bringing there your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and your donations, your votive gifts, your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and flocks. 7 And you shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households together, rejoicing in all the undertakings in which the LORD your God has blessed you. 8 You shall not act as we are acting here today, all of us according to our own desires, 9 for you have not yet come into the rest and the possession that the LORD your God is giving you. 10 When you cross over the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is allotting to you, and when he gives you rest from your enemies all around so that you live in safety, 11 then you shall bring everything that I command you to the place that the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his name: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and your donations, and all your choice votive gifts that you vow to the LORD. 12 And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you together with your sons and your daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who reside in your towns (since they have no allotment or inheritance with you). A Prescribed Place of Worship 13 Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings at any place you happen to see. 14 But only at the place that the LORD will choose in one of your tribes—there you shall offer your burnt offerings and there you shall do everything I command you. 15 Yet whenever you desire you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, according to the blessing that the LORD your God has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as they would of gazelle or deer. 16 The blood, however, you must not eat; you shall pour it out on the ground like water. 17 Nor may you eat within your towns the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, the firstlings of your herds and your flocks, any of your votive gifts that you vow, your freewill offerings, or your donations; 18 these you shall eat in the presence of the LORD your God at the place that the LORD your God will choose, you together with your son and your daughter, your male and female slaves, and the Levites resident in your towns, rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God in all your undertakings. 19 Take care that you do not neglect the Levite as long as you live in your land. 20 When the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as he has promised you, and you say, “I am going to eat some meat,” because you wish to eat meat, you may eat meat whenever you have the desire. 21 If the place where the LORD your God will choose to put his name is too far from you, and you slaughter as I have commanded you any of your herd or flock that the LORD has given you, then you may eat within your towns whenever you desire. 22 Indeed, just as gazelle or deer is eaten, so you may eat it; the unclean and the clean alike may eat it. 23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood; for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the meat. 24 Do not eat it; you shall pour it out on the ground like water. 25 Do not eat it, so that all may go well with you and your children after you, because you do what is right in the sight of the LORD. 26 But the sacred donations that are due from you, and your votive gifts, you shall bring to the place that the LORD will choose. 27 You shall present your burnt offerings, both the meat and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; the blood of your other sacrifices shall be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but the meat you may eat. 28 Be careful to obey all these words that I command you today,a so that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, because you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.

I will always think my baby the most beautiful of them all. Jupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts and offered a prize to the one who, in his judgement, produced the most beautiful offspring. Among the rest came the monkey, carrying a baby monkey in her arms, a hairless, flat-nosed little fright. When they saw it the gods all burst into peal on peal of laughter. but the monkey hugged her little one to her and said "Jupiter may give the prize to whomsoever he likes, but I will always think my baby the most beautiful of them all."

What is Energy? Across the world, scientists and spiritual seekers alike have attempted to understand energy. In the yogic tradition, energy is often called prana, or the vital life force energy that moves in, out and through us. Buddhist traditions often call this qi, also spelled chi. The Law of Conservation of Energy According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be moved and transmuted from one form into another. There are many forms of energy, including light, sound, heat, movement, electricity, chemical, and gravitational. This energy can be stored, such as in the way we store body fat. Energy can be active or kinetic, actively transmuting from one form into another, such as in digestion. 1 We are constantly giving and receiving energy. Everything from watching shows and passing billboards to engaging in eye contact with a stranger and touching a friend is an exchange of energy. Anything that physically goes into or out of the body is a way that we receive or emit energy. For example, eating food and receiving sunlight is a way of receiving energy. Excreting waste is a way of releasing energy from the body. We also passively release some of this energy through body heat. Even breathing is a way of receiving and emitting energy. Most of us go through life giving and receiving energy totally unconsciously. When the flow of energy is unconscious, it can cause us to be like chaff in the wind, going this way and that without any understanding of why we are doing it. Just like a song repeating in our head, much of what we think and even say is adopted from things we have seen and heard from our parents, friends, social media, and the news. This is so automatic that we often think our thoughts, beliefs, and actions are our own. Bandhas: From Unconscious to Conscious Control For those who embark on the path of yoga and meditative practices that bring awareness to the inner workings of the mind, it becomes increasingly clear that much of our mind chatter, the words we say, and even our actions are, in fact adopted from various people and media we have come across over the years. Upon this realization, now we have the conscious ability to choose which thoughts, beliefs, and actions we would like to keep and which we would like to reject. Going further, once it becomes clear the amount of energetic information that comes toward us and that we emit toward others on a daily basis, some individuals may desire to take steps to control the flow of information that we give and receive. There are many ways to do this. In yoga practice, bandhas are one method of controlling the flow of energy in, out, and through the body's various gates or portals. There are many portals. Some of our major areas in the body that receive or emit energy include the sense organs such as the eyes and ears, the mouth, the throat, the genitals, and the anus. Bandhas commonly practiced in yoga include Jalandhara Bandha or throat lock, Uddiyana bandha, or abdominal lock which draws in the low belly and the front genitals, and Mula Bandha, root lock which lifts and engages the rear genitals near the tailbone.

For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery. A speech given to the Second Virginia Assembly at St. John's Church in Richmond, VA. No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free — if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending — if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained — we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content and products, sharing "More life. More yoga."

My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies. Springtime Rhapsody 2:8 The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, there he stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice. 10 My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; 11 for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. 12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. 14 O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. 15 Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that ruin the vineyards— for our vineyards are in blossom.” 16 My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies. 17 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle or a young stag on the cleft mountains.

The nose is closely related to the nadis, or the internal pathways of the body. Information The nostril piercing is a piercing near the base of the nose on the side, and can be placed on the right, left, or both. Nostril piercings come in many forms and are often straight posts or small hoops. The nose is closely related to the nadis, or the internal pathways of the body. Nadi shodhana, for example is a yoga pranayama (breath control) practice of alternate nostril breathing to clear these internal pathways. The left side of the body is said to be connected to the feminine energy, and the right side is connected to the masculine energy. Depending on what a person wants to balance or enhance, may impact where they choose to place their nostril piercing. In India, young women who are ready for marriage, often pierce the left nostril to enhance their feminine energy. It is also believed that this piercing can alleviate some of the cramps and difficulties related to PMS and menstruation. However, both men and women have been known to get nostril piercings on either side in different parts of the world. Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

You shall not eat any abhorrent thing. The Books of the Bible Pagan Practices Forbidden Deuteronomy 14:1 You are children of the LORD your God. You must not lacerate yourselves or shave your forelocks for the dead. 2 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God; it is you the LORD has chosen out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession. Clean and Unclean Foods 3 You shall not eat any abhorrent thing. 4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain-sheep. 6 Any animal that divides the hoof and has the hoof cleft in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. 7 Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cleft you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not divide the hoof; they are unclean for you. 8 And the pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. You shall not eat their meat, and you shall not touch their carcasses. 9 Of all that live in water you may eat these: whatever has fins and scales you may eat. 10 And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. 11 You may eat any clean birds. 12 But these are the ones that you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey, 13 the buzzard, the kite, of any kind; 14 every raven of any kind; 15 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk, of any kind; 16 the little owl and the great owl, the water hen 17 and the desert owl, the carrion vulture and the cormorant, 18 the stork, the heron, of any kind; the hoopoe and the bat. 19 And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. 20 You may eat any clean winged creature. 21 You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to aliens residing in your towns for them to eat, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk. Regulations concerning Tithes 22 Set apart a tithe of all the yield of your seed that is brought in yearly from the field. 23 In the presence of the LORD your God, in the place that he will choose as a dwelling for his name, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, as well as the firstlings of your herd and flock, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. 24 But if, when the LORD your God has blessed you, the distance is so great that you are unable to transport it, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to set his name is too far away from you, 25 then you may turn it into money. With the money secure in hand, go to the place that the LORD your God will choose; 26 spend the money for whatever you wish—oxen, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever you desire. And you shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your household rejoicing together. 27 As for the Levites resident in your towns, do not neglect them, because they have no allotment or inheritance with you. 28 Every third year you shall bring out the full tithe of your produce for that year, and store it within your towns; 29 the Levites, because they have no allotment or inheritance with you, as well as the resident aliens, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, may come and eat their fill so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work that you undertake.

So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. The Books of the Bible The Second Plague: Frogs 1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. 2 If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs. 3 The river shall swarm with frogs; they shall come up into your palace, into your bedchamber and your bed, and into the houses of your officials and of your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls. 4 The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials.’” 5 And the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, the canals, and the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’” 6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 But the magicians did the same by their secret arts, and brought frogs up on the land of Egypt. 8 Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, “Pray to the LORD to take away the frogs from me and my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.” 9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “Kindly tell me when I am to pray for you and for your officials and for your people, that the frogs may be removed from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile.” 10 And he said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “As you say! So that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God, 11 the frogs shall leave you and your houses and your officials and your people; they shall be left only in the Nile.” 12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried out to the LORD concerning the frogs that he had brought upon Pharaoh.a 13 And the LORD did as Moses requested: the frogs died in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields. 14 And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

The Art of War By Sun Tzu VII. Maneuvering 1. Sun Tzu said: In war, the general receives his commands from the sovereign. 2. Having collected an army and concentrated his forces, he must blend and harmonize the different elements thereof before pitching his camp. 3. After that, comes tactical maneuvering, than which there is nothing more difficult. The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain. 4. Thus, to take a long and circuitous route, after enticing the enemy out of the way, and though starting after him, to contrive to reach the goal before him, shows knowledge of the artifice of deviation. 5. Maneuvering with an army is advantageous; with an undisciplined multitude, most dangerous. 6. If you set a fully equipped army in march in order to snatch an advantage, the chances are that you will be too late. On the other hand, to detach a flying column for the purpose involves the sacrifice of its baggage and stores. 7. Thus, if you order your men to roll up their buff-coats, and make forced marches without halting day or night, covering double the usual distance at a stretch, doing a hundred LI in order to wrest an advantage, the leaders of all your three divisions will fall into the hands of the enemy. 8. The stronger men will be in front, the jaded ones will fall behind, and on this plan only one-tenth of your army will reach its destination. 9. If you march fifty LI in order to outmaneuver the enemy, you will lose the leader of your first division, and only half your force will reach the goal. 10. If you march thirty LI with the same object, two-thirds of your army will arrive. 11. We may take it then that an army without its baggage-train is lost; without provisions it is lost; without bases of supply it is lost. 12. We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors. 13. We are not fit to lead an army on the march unless we are familiar with the face of the country--its mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices, its marshes and swamps. 14. We shall be unable to turn natural advantage to account unless we make use of local guides. 15. In war, practice dissimulation, and you will succeed. 16. Whether to concentrate or to divide your troops, must be decided by circumstances. 17. Let your rapidity be that of the wind, your compactness that of the forest. 18. In raiding and plundering be like fire, is immovability like a mountain. 19. Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt. 20. When you plunder a countryside, let the spoil be divided amongst your men; when you capture new territory, cut it up into allotments for the benefit of the soldiery. 21. Ponder and deliberate before you make a move. 22. He will conquer who has learnt the artifice of deviation. Such is the art of maneuvering. 23. The Book of Army Management says: On the field of battle, the spoken word does not carry far enough: hence the institution of gongs and drums. Nor can ordinary objects be seen clearly enough: hence the institution of banners and flags. 24. Gongs and drums, banners and flags, are means whereby the ears and eyes of the host may be focused on one particular point. 25. The host thus forming a single united body, is it impossible either for the brave to advance alone, or for the cowardly to retreat alone. This is the art of handling large masses of men. 26. In night-fighting, then, make much use of signal-fires and drums, and in fighting by day, of flags and banners, as a means of influencing the ears and eyes of your army. 27. A whole army may be robbed of its spirit; a commander-in-chief may be robbed of his presence of mind. 28. Now a soldier's spirit is keenest in the morning; by noonday it has begun to flag; and in the evening, his mind is bent only on returning to camp. 29. A clever general, therefore, avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods. 30. Disciplined and calm, to await the appearance of disorder and hubbub amongst the enemy:--this is the art of retaining self-possession. 31. To be near the goal while the enemy is still far from it, to wait at ease while the enemy is toiling and struggling, to be well-fed while the enemy is famished:--this is the art of husbanding one's strength. 32. To refrain from intercepting an enemy whose banners are in perfect order, to refrain from attacking an army drawn up in calm and confident array:--this is the art of studying circumstances. 33. It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill. 34. Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight; do not attack soldiers whose temper is keen. 35. Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. 36. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard. 37. Such is the art of warfare. Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

A swallow was once boasting to a crow about her birth. "I was once a princess," she said, "the daughter of a king of Athens, but my husband used me cruelly, and cut out my tongue for a slight fault. Then, to protect me from further injury, I was turned by Juno into a bird." "You chatter quite enough as it is," said the crow. "What you would have been like if you hadn't lost your tongue, I can't think." Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content and products, sharing "More life. More yoga."

Good times. If you're here, you already feel me, so I'm not going to preach to you. Here are some practical steps to decrease or quit smoking cannabis and nicotine from a former, self-proclaimed stoner. I smoked multiple times, just about every day for over 5 years and after many attempts was finally was able to quit altogether. What led to me quitting was not being hard on myself or going cold turkey. It came from healing the root cause of why I was smoking in the first place. Once I discovered the root and explored it enough to find healing, my desire to smoke began to wane until I literally no longer desired it at all. Finally quitting for me came after multiple attempts. For years, I claimed that I did not have a problem and that people can't actually become addicted to cannabis. As of today, I think that's more of wishful thinking amongst the stoner community. Even after someone recommended that I go to rehab, it was impossible for me to acknowledge that I had a problem for years after that because I was so enamored by the benefits I felt that I was experiencing from smoking. Addiction is a strong word, but cannabis dependence is certainly a thing. Anyone who has been smoking for years has some level of substance dependence that is outside of their control. If that weren't the case, it would be easy to quit. But it's so hard. If you mix cannabis and tobacco together, it's even more difficult to let it go. So I wanted to share some practical steps for how I quit. Why We Smoke We smoke simply because it feels good. It helps our sore backs to feel better. It makes sex more interesting. It makes us feel a little bit more cooler and more interesting than we would normally. It helps us to be more talkative. It helps us to socialize. There are so many reasons why we smoke, at least why I did. I avoid calling these benefits because once I stopped smoking, I realized that all of the things I was smoking for are available to me without it. The only reason smoking feels so beneficial is because there is something missing in the first place. In reality, we smoke because there is a leak (or many) somewhere within us, causing us our operating capacity to be less than 100%. Smoking temporarily increases our operating capacity, so we "feel better." The problem is, the hole is still there. The leak continues. The longer we go, the small hole may grow, and the little leak can become problematic for us because we're not actually dealing with the root problem. We have disguised it this whole time. In reality, the initial discomfort we were experiencing that led us to smoke was actually meant to show us something that needed to be fixed. We wanted to feel better without fixing the problem. Once we deal with the root problem we actually feel better for good. And not only better, we feel great. Now that we have fixed the leaks and are no longer adding toxins to the situation, we are finally able to operate closer to 100% operating capacity. Once we feel really good on our own, we no longer desire to smoke. The most remarkable part, is once we feel really good and are totally healed, smoking will actually make you feel worse. Once you stop smoking, you begin to see things more clearly. You realize that the reason smoking felt good was because you were operating at, say 50% capacity because of the leak within you, and you felt better because smoking would temporarily take you to 75% operating capacity. But now that you've quit and you're pushing 100%, you realize smoking takes you back to 75%. There is no longer benefit. The unfortunate realization is how many people are truly operating at 50% operating capacity and feel the need to turn to cannabis and other solutions to feel better. Once you realize that you can take yourself from 50% to 100% without it, and with no negative outcomes, the next action to take is obvious. Find the fresh life, and run to it. The reality is that everything that is achieved through cannabis consumption can be achieved in a clear and better way through simply healing yourself. The Benefits I could go this whole article and play like there are no benefits to cannabis, but there are definitely benefits to cannabis. We consume cannabis and tobacco because we like them. So here are the things we are seeking from cannabis and tobacco. Below, I will list practical ways to achieve each of them with out these substances. And so, if you want to stop smoking, the solution is either to consume it in a vape, tincture or edible form or to find alternatives to the benefits you are seeking without cannabis and nicotine altogether. Why we like cannabis: Relaxes the muscles Releases inhibitions Helps us to connect to others Helps us to catch the vibe Decreases back pain, and other discomfort within the body May open us up spiritually May help us to invite positive energy Can be healing or reduce the symptoms for different illnesses While tobacco is harder on the body than cannabis, there are real reasons that people like it and consume it on its own or in combination with marijuana. Tobacco may help us to let go of negative energy May help us to feel more alert May help us to feel more grounded May help us to feel more energy in our bodies, hands Can offer a balancing effect to cannabis Check the out alternative ways we can achieve each of these below. The Drawbacks There are many drawbacks to smoking. As much as we enjoy it, smoking harms the body. There is no way around that. There is no amount of yoga or breathing exercises that will heal your lungs until you just quit inviting toxins into your lungs altogether. Ways smoking harms us: Invites toxins and carcinogens into the body Burns the mouth, throat, and lungs Can cause facial acne Can cause dental or gum problems Decreases our sense of taste and smell Decreases our mental clarit Decreases our physical agility and reflexes Can increase anger and cause us to be more verbally aggressive, releasing the "dragon" May lead to overthinking, confusion May lead to the inability to get important things done May cause us to spiral downward, slowly without realizing it May open us up to be receptive to negative influences Takes us in the direction of death instead of in the direction of life, even if we feel good in the moment The Step Ladder Approach While alternatives are not totally quitting and so are not perfectly ideal, they can be tremendously beneficial as you create a step ladder approach to quitting over time. After going cold turkey multiple times and just going back to smoking as much as I had been before, I realized I needed a different approach and decided to just take small steps down. If you're smoking multiple times a day, in the morning, or all throughout the day, give yourself a simple limit or some rules around it. For example, say you can't smoke until noon or until you've completed an important task for the day. Then you can still smoke, but it can help you to be more productive as you wean yourself off. Another alternative is to transition down to weaker substances. Transition from rolling up to a vape. You might do something like start with a THC vape -> Delta-8 vape -> CBD vape. When I first started to transition from rolling up spliffs, I had both a vape with a THC cartridge and a separate nicotine vape. I wasn't ready to quit, but it was better than rolling up, and in time, I took it down to weaker substances. Whatever you need to do, fam. Another alternative is to transition down to edibles or tinctures. 1st Step Alternatives Place rules around smoking, after a certain time or after a task has been completed Transition from rolling up to a vape Delta-8 THC Vape Nicotine Vape Better Alternatives Transition from vape -> tincture or edibles Transition from Delta-9 -> Delta-8 -> CBD Transition totally away from nicotine Best Alternatives Pranayama breathwork to invite fresh life into the body Say a round of positive affirmations every time you feel the urge to smoke Japa meditation, engages the need to use the hands Seated meditation, allow the mind and body to relax Make a craft with your hands Alternatives Cannabis relaxes the muscles If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Cannabis releases inhibitions If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Cannabis helps us to connect to others If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Cannabis helps us to catch the vibe If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Back pain If your back is tight, look for the origin. Cannabis is a beneficial temporary relief for your discomfort, but if not addressed will lead to dependence. Look for the origin of the pain. See a chiropractor who can tell you what is going on. Perhaps you are holding more weight on one leg than the other. Perhaps your hips are off. Perhaps there is a disc that is off. Much of this can be treated by a chiropractor, yoga, pilates, and some other methods. There are many sources of back pain: Uneven hips Uneven gait Fascial tightness Overtucking the tailbone Some remedies for back pain: Chiropractor Rolfing Backbends, twists, and any form of moving the spine in different directions You may hear popping in the back as things move back into place. This is a good thing. Seated meditation, which allows the tight muscles to relax Cannabis may open us up spiritually I was smoking one day and praying. The insight came to me. How does putting a toxin in my body get me closer to the purest source energy? There is much to the spiritual world, but the energy of the universe, the pure prana, the fresh life energy that we thrive upon is simply what we would call "air." If we want to be closer to source, the answer is to purify ourselves so that we are closer in our constitution to this pure prana, pure life energy. There are a whole host of intoxicants give us a spiritual experiences, cannabis included. Yet, t here is evidence all throughout history, across the world, of people eliminating a whole host of things from their diet, such as meat, alcohol, smoking, and even sex, as ways to purify the body and become closer to God. The highest source energy can only be accessed through total purification. Spiritual experiences via intoxication may give us glimpses of this energy but always fall short. Cannabis may help us to invite positive energy If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Cannabis can be healing or reduce the symptoms for different illnesses If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Tobacco may help us to let go of negative energy Now, this is a powerful one, for me. I smoked spliffs for a long time for this reason. I had a lot of trauma, literally PTSD and was smoking to help with yoga and to heal my mind. I definitely felt physical advantages to Tobacco may help us to feel more alert If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Tobacco may help us to feel more grounded If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Cannabis & Tobacco may help us to feel more energy in our bodies, hands I combined cannabis and my yoga practice for years. I definitely felt physical advantages to smoking before practice to some degree, but there were trade offs. Smoking before practice made me feel my body more. I felt like I was entranced in practice. My muscles felt more flexible to some degree, similar to smoking before sex, for those who feel me, and my hips had that energy in them that smoking gives you that made me want to move my body. The downside was that my body was not actually in my control. I was entranced, allowing the yoga spirits to move me, but I was not actually finding total awareness of my body and muscles. Once I quit, my movement became worlds more mindful. Though the sensual I felt when smoking was hypnotizing while I was using it, once I quit, I could actually "feel" my muscles, and "feel" my feet in a completely new way. I am more present and grounded in my body now that I have stopped smoking thatn I ever felt while I was because my mind is clear and I am actually in control of myself. If you are rolling up and smoking to achieve any health benefits, you are working against yourself because you are simultaneously inviting toxins into your body while trying to remove them. Tobacco can offer a balancing effect to cannabis If you're consuming cannabis to relax the muscles, the question then becomes, why are your muscles so tight that it has become painful? Pranayama {Breathwork} Pranayama can be tremendously beneficial for people who want to stop smoking because: It heals the lungs of the damage caused by smoking It invites fresh life into the body with each inhalation It removes toxins with each exhalation (When doing nadi shodhana), it can mimic the habit of bringing the hand to the face It mimics the pleasurable sensation of taking deep puffs of air, but with fresh air, as opposed to toxins Nasal Cleansing Affirmations I am clean. I am clear. I am healing. I breathe in fresh life. I breathe out what no longer serves me. Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. The Books of the Bible The Gospel According to John Jesus and the Woman of Samaria 1 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John” 2 —although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized— 3 he left Judea and started back to Galilee. 4 But he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” 8 (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.” 27 Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you speaking with her?” 28 Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, 29 “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” 30 They left the city and were on their way to him. 31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, “Surely no one has brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘Four months more, then comes the harvest’? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. 36 The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.” 39 Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.” Jesus Returns to Galilee 43 When the two days were over, he went from that place to Galilee 44 (for Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in the prophet’s own country). 45 When he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival; for they too had gone to the festival. Jesus Heals an Official’s Son 46 Then he came again to Cana in Galilee where he had changed the water into wine. Now there was a royal official whose son lay ill in Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my little boy dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way. 51 As he was going down, his slaves met him and told him that his child was alive. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and they said to him, “Yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him.” 53 The father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he himself believed, along with his whole household. 54 Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.

Living out your traumas as your truth, to me, is being in shackles. You know, I'm someone who, you know, you guys know I talk about it was actually diagnosed with PTSD. And so I was in a place and for a number of years, where I was deeply living out my truth of my traumas is the best way I can explain it. And it did not lead to beneficial results. What led to beneficial results was was really letting it go. So we'll talk, about how do you let go of anger and trauma, when something has really happened to you that feels like, you just can't get over it. You know, I think a lot of us really do take on trauma that has happened to us in the past. And we wear it like a badge of honor, you know, and I get it, it can be like, I think cathartic on some level to say this doesn't define me. So let me flip it and become it or become some type of version of it. But that's still a place of being wounded and coming out of trauma. I think the way to begin to let it go, is to no longer identify with it. First of all, not let it be a part of your personality. So if you experienced sexual trauma, I think a lot of people will say like, Okay, let me kind of regain my confidence regain something that I've lost by taking my sexual energy into my power, which is cool. And so one of the ways and I say this kind of as something, this is something that I've done, is to become over sexualized, or to say, you know, I've experienced this, and so let me just kind of, you know, put it out there. And I dare anyone to do anything about it. That's just one way to do it. But you're still acting out of the trauma. So, even if you are taking your power back, and you're like, "I'm gonna, like, show off" and all of this, like, that's cool. But like, that action itself, is coming out of the trauma, you're not healed from the trauma, because you're still acting out of the trauma, it may be acting differently, you may not be like, in the corner crying like you were before, but you're still your actions are still governed by the trauma. So the trauma is still a central part of your life. Once you get that it is so healing. And when you start to really ask yourself like, "Okay, which of my actions are governed are coming out of my trauma are coming out of ways that I was hurt or not healed, and I'm acting out like I'm literally acting out?" And a lot of that acting out can be negative toward toward ourselves and harmful to others, it can become like narcissistic, even sometimes when you like, if you have like a chip on your shoulder, and you're kind of like, I'm just gonna go through the world like this way. I'm coming out of like an angry trauma traumatized place. It can really lead to like a victimized mindset, which says, "I am a victim, period, I'm a victim, my life is governed by the fact that I was a victim, something really bad happened to me. And so I have now the right to go through the world, you know, perhaps a little bit insensitive to others, because I'm ultimately the victim." And I see a lot of people really go through the world, like this way where it's like, you know, I'm the one that's had it the worst, and then we'll sit and compare, like, you see people from different groups sit around and compare like, "Well, no, we haven't the worst." Now. Well, we have it the worst. No, we have it the worst. And like, I promise you, like that's not a battle that you want to win, like, sitting around, trying to focus on all the things that happened to you bad. And even trying to explain to others how bad it was. And then going through life with this chip on your shoulder like, Well, life has been so bad for me. So now I've got a blah, blah, blah. That's not healing at all. It's coming out of trauma. And so I think that really the first thing is to dis identify with the trauma. I'm not saying to like be in lala land and plan like, Oh, it didn't happen. Like that's also that's called delusion. That's not helpful. But I think it is helpful to say, that is not a central part of of who I am. Just like how, for example, we'll have a like a bad day, right? But the bad day wasn't really a bad day. The whole day wasn't bad. It will just be like in a 24 hour period. Maybe, let's say 10 minutes were bad. Total right? Let's say we had five minutes that were bad here. Five minutes that were bad here, total. But then something in our mind will be like this was a That day, because I'm focusing on these 10 minutes of bad things that happened. And the mind keeps replaying them, and living out of those bad things, as opposed to just saying, you know, I had a 24 hour day 23.5 of those hours were really, really good. A few minutes of that were not so good. It was a good day. You know, I mean, right. And so I think that's what we do with our lives, like, Will will say, like, you know, 30 plus years of my life for great, I had all of these successes, you know, love and happiness, and all of these happy moments and joy. But my life is traumatized. Because this happened to me when I was four. Should it be? You know, and I think that Sure, yes, some of those things can be very hurtful for us and difficult for our minds to process, especially when we're children. Or even as adults, we all experienced trauma at all different ages. But I think that the question really becomes, am I identifying out of this thing that happened to me? Am I living it out continuously, even now, years after it's been over with? Is my personality even created by a traumatic event that happened to me? And then you start to ask yourself, like, is that what I want? Like? Do I want to be acting out of all of my traumas? Or do I want to be acting out of like joy and healing, and peace, and I think freedom. To me, freedom is not acting out of your trauma. I think that's a huge deception. That freedom is like, I'm free to be myself and live out. And that's, that's true on some level, like, yeah, like, everyone should be free to be themselves. And to live, whatever is their truth is, for the most part, you know, if you're not hurting other people, for the most part, I think we should be free to do that. But I think the biggest deception is that freedom is living out your traumas. And to me, that is a huge deception. Yes, people like we live in America, I'm from the United States, like, people should be free to live in the way that makes them happy and joyful and whatever. But is it healthy? No, to live out your trauma as your truth? No, it is not. It is not healthy, to live out your trauma as your truth. And I think that's been one of the greatest deceptions is that, you know, everyone should just like, relax and just do whatever and just whatever. And, you know, what's happened is a lot of unhealed people, I think are out here, living out their traumas as their truth and saying, Well, my truth is that I'm just a blob of blonde that depended on all of this. And, sure, that is who you are right now. And that is what you felt that you've needed to do in order to protect yourself or to be able to navigate the world in a way that works for you right now, with all of the traumas that you have. But what if you could live in the world without all of that? That's freedom. To me, freedom is, wow, I'm no longer clouded by the negative feelings of what happened to me as a child, wow, I'm no longer angry at my mother. Well, I'm not angry at God anymore. Well, I've totally released all of that, that I felt like I needed to do out of my ego out of my pain out of my lashing out. Well, I feel so much better now that I was able to let that go. That's freedom. To me being be living out your traumas, as your truth to me is that is being in shackles. That is that is truly to me. Living in the prison of your own trauma is saying that I am so traumatized by the things that happened to me that I can't escape the trauma, that my whole identity is now bound up within the trauma that happened to me, and the anger at these people. And the negative emotion that to me is far from freedom. That's not freedom. That's being totally mentally bound. That being totally, your emotions, and everything are now clouded. You're not totally clear because you're you're everything you do everything you say, even the things you were everything is coming out of a trauma place, as opposed to a place of freedom and joy. And so that's kind of why I wanted to talk about this because I think, you know, I'm not saying I found total freedom, but I have found increasing levels of freedom from my own personal traumas. And from a lot of the things that I was doing, that I thought were liberating for me at one point that I realized were just acting out of pain acting out of hurt, lashing out, you know, I'm living out my truth in a way that was really expressing a lot of the Uh, hurt that I had experienced, you know, so my truth was like a lot of hurt. And so I'm gonna go out, go to the world, like, you know, like a bull, you know, and just like, let out, you know. And so yeah, I mean, I think that's cool if that's how you want to be like, I was like that for some time. And I called that freedom. But I was not free, I was deeply traumatized and delusional about that, and I was living out, you know, literally living out my traumas as my truth, not realizing that it was hurting myself. And so I think the ultimate solution is to heal from those traumas, heal from that anger, heal from whatever has happened to you that that causes your personality that change or causes you to act out. Instead of doing that, I think the more peaceful place, the more free place is to totally let it go all together, into forgive whoever it was, that hurt you to forgive whatever higher being that you consider to be out there, if it's God, you know, finding a place of letting it go and saying that, at least in my belief, that there is some type of purpose in everything or some type of journey. And so instead of holding on to that anger, holding on to that trauma, beginning to ask the question of what has this taught me? How has this helped me along my journey so that I would become the dope, amazing person that I am today, as opposed to, oh, well, this happened to me. And so now I'm gonna go through life like this way, like, okay, that's having a chip on your shoulder for real. But you can say, this happened to me. And now I can use it to teach others. Or now I can use it to elevate myself in some way, or now I've learned something about the world that I would have never gotten if that didn't happen to me. And so I have hurt over it. But I'm grateful that I'm such a strong person today. That is a healed place, as opposed to coming out of like, a trauma place. And so so that's really it. Like, I just wanted to talk about how do we really let go of trauma. You know, I'm someone who, you know, you guys know I talk about it was actually diagnosed with PTSD. And so I was in a place and for a number of years, where I was deeply living out my truth of my traumas is the best way I can explain it, and it did not lead to beneficial results. What led to beneficial results was was really letting it go. And so I hope that's helpful for somebody. Always, you know, I love you guys. And I will see you on the next one. Peace.

Why is light given to one in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, who long for death, but it does not come. The Books of the Bible Job Curses the Day He Was Born 3:1 After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 Job said: 3 “Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’ 4 Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, or light shine on it. 5 Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds settle upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. 6 That night—let thick darkness seize it! let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 7 Yes, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry be heard in it. 8 Let those curse it who curse the Sea, those who are skilled to rouse up Leviathan. 9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none; may it not see the eyelids of the morning— 10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, and hide trouble from my eyes. 11 “Why did I not die at birth, come forth from the womb and expire? 12 Why were there knees to receive me, or breasts for me to suck? 13 Now I would be lying down and quiet; I would be asleep; then I would be at rest 14 with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuild ruins for themselves, 15 or with princes who have gold, who fill their houses with silver. 16 Or why was I not buried like a stillborn child, like an infant that never sees the light? 17 There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest. 18 There the prisoners are at ease together; they do not hear the voice of the taskmaster. 19 The small and the great are there, and the slaves are free from their masters. 20 “Why is light given to one in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, 21 who long for death, but it does not come, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures; 22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave? 23 Why is light given to one who cannot see the way, whom God has fenced in? 24 For my sighing comes like my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water. 25 Truly the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me. 26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest; but trouble comes.” New Revised Standard Version Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

Featured in the Crown Issue of Liveology Yoga Magazine. What a time we’re living in. If we only knew in the fall time of 2019 what was in store once 2020 and 2021 came lol. I know these times can be very scary and confusing especially when we don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring. Stress, anxiety & depression levels are at an all time high. But always remember that mentally and spiritually dealing with such is a matter of perception and interpretation. So let’s not focus on only what we perceive as bad but let’s also focus on the flipside of it all. Indeed as humanity we are facing some trying times but the key is to see the beauty & learn the lessons in it all so that we grow to become greater through these trials and tribulations. The mark of a person or people is how they persevere and overcome in the most trying times not only the good times. I always tell my close friends and family that as crazy as it may sound maybe we as humanity need to go through these times to become better, to love each other, to see the bigger picture, to care more for each other and nature & to slow down. Always remember that protecting your mental health, sanity & your peace is key. There are some awesome practices that I found to help me heal, maintain peace and push forward.

Still Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said. The Books of the Bible 1 The LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land. 3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay my hand upon Egypt and bring my people the Israelites, company by company, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. 5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.” 6 Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the LORD commanded them. 7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. Aaron’s Miraculous Rod 8 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a wonder,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a snake.’” 10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did as the LORD had commanded; Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. 11 Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same by their secret arts. 12 Each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes; but Aaron’s staff swallowed up theirs. 13 Still Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said. The First Plague: Water Turned to Blood 14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water; stand by at the river bank to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was turned into a snake. 16 Say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say, “Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness.” But until now you have not listened.’ 17 Thus says the LORD, “By this you shall know that I am the LORD.” See, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall be turned to blood. 18 The fish in the river shall die, the river itself shall stink, and the Egyptians shall be unable to drink water from the Nile.’” 19 The LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over its rivers, its canals, and its ponds, and all its pools of water—so that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the whole land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’” 20 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and of his officials he lifted up the staff and struck the water in the river, and all the water in the river was turned into blood, 21 and the fish in the river died. The river stank so that the Egyptians could not drink its water, and there was blood throughout the whole land of Egypt. 22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts; so Pharaoh’s heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them; as the LORD had said. 23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart. 24 And all the Egyptians had to dig along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the river. 25 Seven days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.

I'm a woman - Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
