According to Vaastu, southern entrances can be problematic particularly if they are not handled with care. Three possible examples have been offered:
1) Nepal: After the northern entrance through China was suppressed the main entrance was to the south through India. A Vaastu expert then commented that there was no hope for the country if that persisted. Then, of course, the terrible earthquakes followed.
2) U.S. via Mexico: A Vaastu expert commented that if not well regulated, that south entrance into the U.S. would lead to big problems.
3) Alamo: The entrance to the Alamo was through the center of the south wall, which according to Vaastu means death.

“Me, we.” is called the shortest poem in the English language, offered by Muhammed Ali at Harvard graduation address.
“… what I gained was the ability to see the world in something like the way God must see it. To understand that there are no distinctions of any real importance in the affairs of men, that there is only one time and one place and one person and one truth. And that we are all contained in that time and place and person, and that the truth contains us all.” ~ Muhammed Ali

I just watched again the beginning of the movie “Big” with Tom Hanks.
Zoltar, who grants wishes at the amusement park, represents the Transcendent. We all long to transcend worldly constraints, to find that unlimited, unconstrained, all knowing oneness within us.
This longing makes the world go ’round. It is longing. It is love. It is gravity. It is the only force in the universe displayed uniquely on each level of existence.
This force takes separation to Oneness, limitation to limitlessness, bounded to unbounded, emptiness to fullness, longing to fulfillment.

Last night I was interviewed on the Canadian radio program called “Viewpoints”. It will be broadcast throughout Canada several times this weekend. I had no idea what the subject was going to be. It turns out that a number of people were interviewed regarding the epidemic obsession with the many distractions these days, such as computer gadgets, and what to do about it.
Ideas included all the popular suggestions like “unplugging”. I put forth that though those approaches can be helpful, there is also value to all the wonderful things our age of distraction has to offer. Instead of closing ourselves off to them, we can give the kite of our lives a longer tail.
People are spinning like kites without a tail. Through meditation, we stabilize our lives by strengthening our sense of self, so the kite can soar ever higher without spinning. We can then enjoy all the wonderful things our technological age has to offer without losing our sense of self – our inner wisdom, balance and reason. It’s about the integration of the depth of our being with the surface of life.
