"After a seven-month WestPac deployment, the USS San Francisco (SSN 711) submarine warship returned home to Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego yesterday. With every return comes the ceremonial "first kiss" of sailors disembarking from the vessel, and Monday's kiss was particularly notable as it was the first time ever a male same-sex couple was chosen" smile emoticon heart emoticon

“Em ambientes de crueldade, onde as forças contrárias ao Amor atuam
livremente, é muito difícil sustentar a conexão. Sustentar a conexão, em
outras palavras, significa sustentar a presença do amor. E o que te faz
sentir-se bem é justamente o amor fluindo do seu coração. Mas, o amor
não pode se expressar em um ambiente de crueldade, pois essas forças
restringem sua capacidade de amar - elas fecham seu coração. Isso acontece
quase como uma proteção, para a sua sobrevivência. Porque ao manter-se
aberto a crueldade entra e você começa a se machucar.”

"In cruel environments where the forces opposing love reign freely, it’s very difficult to maintain our connection by sustaining the presence of love. What makes us feel good is feeling love flowing from our heart. However, love cannot express itself in a cruel environment because these forces restrict our ability to love, and they close our heart. This happens almost like a protection mechanism for our own survival. If we remain open, the cruelty enters and we begin to get hurt.”

“Quando o buscador chega, inicio um trabalho de cura para tratar das
suas feridas emocionais e purificar seu coração das mazelas do passado.
Esse trabalho continua até que ele possa se harmonizar com seu passado e
se libertar dele, ou seja, até que ele possa olhar para trás e
verdadeiramente agradecer por absolutamente tudo que aconteceu na sua
vida. Nesse momento, ele estará pronto para renascer no espírito. Na
verdade, é nesse ponto que a jornada
espiritual realmente inicia. Porque até então era um trabalho
psicoespiritual de cura e transformação da natureza inferior.”

"When the seeker arrives, a healing work begins to address one’s emotional wounds and to purify the heart’s ailments from the past. This work continues until one can be in harmony with one’s past and be liberated from it; until one can look back and truly be thankful for absolutely everything that has happened in one’s life. At this moment, one is ready to be reborn in spirit. In fact, this is when the spiritual journey actually begins. Everything up until this point was merely a psychospiritual work of healing and transforming one’s lower nature."

that coverage has been cartoonist JD Crowe. Hit the link for a slideshow of Crowe's work about Judge Roy Moore.

Via JMG: Antonin Scalia: Don't Paint Me As Anti-Gay
"The issue of gay rights, on abortion, on many of the issues in which
Ruth’s opinions and mine differ does not pertain to the substance. It
doesn’t pertain to whether gay people ought to have those rights or
whether there ought to be a constitutional right or a right to an
abortion. That isn’t the issue. The issue is who decides. That’s all. I
don’t have any public views on any of those things. The point is who
decides? Should these decisions be made by the Supreme Court without any
text in the Constitution or any history in the Constitution to support
imposing on the whole country or is it a matter left to the people? But
don’t paint me as anti-gay or anti-abortion or anything else. All I’m
doing on the Supreme Court is opining about who should decide."

Via Bloomberg:
Reposted from Joe Jervis
Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber’s almost four-decade political career fell apart Friday, as he heeded calls from fellow Democrats to resign after a scandal involving his fiancee’s use of his office to generate business for her energy-consulting firm. Kitzhaber, a 67-year-old re-elected to a fourth term in November, announced his departure in a news release. Secretary of State Kate Brown, also a Democrat, will assume the office until 2016.Oregon's now governor-to-be Kate Brown is married to a man and is openly bisexual, which will make her the first openly LGBT governor in American history. Unless you count former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevy, which you shouldn't.

“Ao praticar técnicas sexuais com várias pessoas diferentes você acaba
criando situações perigosas. Isso porque você amplia seu poder e
magnetismo, o que deixa seu ego mais robusto e astuto. E o principal
poder que você desenvolve é o poder de manipulação. Mas porque você quer
ter esse poder? Você quer manipular o outro para ter domínio sobre ele e
para fugir de si mesmo. Ter domínio sobre uma pessoa não é diferente de
ter um carro novo ou de ter bastante dinheiro na conta bancária – tudo
agrega valor à falsa ideia de quem é você. No mais profundo, você está
em busca de uma identidade; está tentando suprir uma carência.”

"Practicing sexual techniques with many different people can end up creating dangerous situations. One may increase one’s power and allure, which makes the ego more robust and cunning, but the main power that develops is manipulation. Why would one want to have this power? In order to manipulate the other and dominate them, while avoiding looking at oneself. Having dominion over the other is no different than having a new car, or having a lot of money in one’s bank account. Everything adds value to the false idea of who we are. On a deeper level, one is seeking an identity, and this is an attempt to compensate for a neediness."

“Muitas vezes damos passagem para determinados impulsos que não
gostamos e não aceitamos, e que gostaríamos que fossem diferentes. O que
faz uma pessoa refém do ciúme e da inveja? Refém da insegurança e da
vingança? Refém do medo? É a ignorância a respeito da natureza desse
impulso. Isso porque tudo o que é negado e relegado ao plano da sombra
acaba ganhando força justamente por ficar no inconsciente.”

What makes one hostage to insecurity, revenge and fear? It is the ignorance about the nature of this impulse. Everything that is denied and banished to the realms of the shadow ends up gaining strength simply by remaining unconscious."

“Ao entrega-se para a vontade divina, a vontade do seu Eu superior,
você se torna uma testemunha silenciosa; um canal puro do amor. Cada
ação é como uma prece ao Divino e sua vida se torna devoção. Nada do que
você faz é para si mesmo: a graça, a alegria, a cura e o amor passam
por você para chegar ao outro, e assim você vai experimentando a
plenitude e o contentamento – você vai provando pílulas de samadhi, o
êxtase místico. E a cada vislumbre do
Eterno, a natureza inferior vai se dissipando, e você vai se aproximando
da sua verdadeira essência.”
