“A preguiça é uma matriz psicológica que se relaciona a sentimentos
negados e congelados no corpo emocional. Esses sentimentos agem como uma
barreira que impede a circulação da energia. Com o tempo, esse bloqueio
do sistema energético começa a provocar somatizações, ou seja, começa a
provocar desequilíbrio até mesmo no corpo físico. A preguiça provoca
uma paralisia - ela impede a ação, que é nossa resposta aos estímulos da vida. E é a ação que possibilita o movimento e o desenvolvimento da consciência.”

“Laziness is a psychological matrix related to denied feelings that are frozen in the emotional body. These feelings act as a barrier that prevents our energy from circulating. Over time, these blockages in our energy systems begin to create somatizations. In other words, they eventually cause imbalances in the physical body. Laziness leads to paralysis, which prevents us from acting. Action is our response to the stimulus of life; it is what allows for movement and the development of consciousness.”

JMG HomoQuotable - Dan Savage
"Dear Dr. Carson, If being gay is a choice, prove it. Choose it. Choose
to be gay yourself. Show America how that's done, Ben, show us how a man
can choose to be gay. Suck my dick. Name the time and the place and
I'll bring my dick and a camera crew and you can suck me off and win the
argument." - Dan Savage,
in a posting made Wednesday before Carson offered his flaccid apology.
Savage's message has given wingnuts the vapors, with Porno Pete today
demanding that the SPLC label him a "hateful extremist."Via JMG: DOJ To SCOTUS: Yes On Marriage
Eric Holder's promised brief has arrived. Chris Geidner reports at Buzzfeed:
Reposted from Joe Jervis
The United States government on Friday urged the Supreme Court to strike down bans on same-sex couples marriages across the country, concluding, “There is no adequate justification for such a discriminatory and injurious exercise of state power.” Specifically, the Justice Department urges: “The marriage bans challenged in these cases impermissibly exclude lesbian and gay couples from the rights, responsibilities, and status of civil marriage. These facially discriminatory laws impose concrete harms on same-sex couples and send the inescapable message that same-sex couples and their children are second-class families, unworthy of the recognition and benefits that opposite-sex couples take for granted. The bans cannot be reconciled with the fundamental constitutional guarantee of ‘equal protection of the laws.’”Dig into the brief and pull out your favorite parts.

“O mantra é um instrumento de grande poder, especialmente se você
conhece seu significado, e o vocaliza com presença e intencionalidade.
Dessa forma o mantra age como uma frequência de luz que dissipa a
escuridão; ele se transforma em uma poderosa oração.”
“El mantra es un instrumento de gran poder, especialmente si conoces su significado, y lo vocalizas con presencia e intencionalidad. Así el mantra actúa como una frecuencia de luz que disipa la oscuridad; él se convierte en una poderosa oración.”

“Mantras are an instrument of great power, especially when you know
their meaning and vocalize them with presence and intention. When you do
so, the mantras act like a frequency of light that dissipates darkness,
and they become a powerful prayer.”

Via JMG: Wall Street To SCOTUS: Yes On Marriage
Via CNN:
Reposted from Joe Jervis
Wall Street's leading banks have signed a "friend of the court" brief pressing the Supreme Court to back same-sex marriage. Major financial firms including AIG, Bank of America, BlackRock, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs JPMorgan, UBS and Wells Fargo signed the brief that will be filed on Thursday. Spokespeople at each of the companies confirmed to CNN that they are named in the brief. Other signatories include a range of small and large companies in a variety of sectors including technology, healthcare and retail. "The brief argues that the existing confused legal landscape places significant burdens on employers and their employees—making it increasingly hard to conduct business," said Elliott Frieder, a spokesman for Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, the law firm that will file the brief on behalf of the firms.A similar banking coalition filed a DOMA brief in 2013.
Via JMG: David Koch To Sign SCOTUS Brief
David Koch, the big money political donor and liberal boogeyman, has agreed to sign onto to an amicus brief supporting same-sex marriage at the Supreme Court, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The brief he will reportedly sign in DeBoer v. Snyder, a case that could afford same-sex couples a constitutional right to marry, will host a number of other prominent conservative signatories, including retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former Reagan White House chief of staff Ken Duberstein and former Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman. An attorney for Koch Industries told the Free Beacon that Koch will join the brief in a personal capacity, indicating his support for gay marriage does not necessarily indicate a larger message from the Koch network of donors.In 2012 Koch backed Romney, who signed onto NOM's anti-marriage pledge.

“Sadhana (prática espiritual) é sinônimo de bater na porta do salão da
Verdade, o que significa libertar-se de tudo o que acreditamos ser
verdade para que sobre apenas a Verdade. Em outras palavras, significa
libertar-se de crenças, conceitos, ideias e interpretações que têm base
no conhecimento emprestado, ou seja, tudo aquilo que você entende
intelectualmente, mas ainda não experienciou. Isso é o que chamo de
imaginação ou sonho – um sonho que
projetamos no outro. Esse sonho precisa cessar, você precisa despertar, e
você faz isso através do seu sadhana.”
“Sadhana (práctica espiritual) es sinónimo de golpear en la puerta del
salón de la Verdad, lo que significa liberarse de todo lo que creemos
que es verdad para que quede solamente la Verdad. En otras palabras,
significa liberarse de creencias, conceptos, ideas e interpretaciones
que se basan en el conocimiento prestado, es decir, todo aquello que
entiendes intelectualmente, pero que aún no has experimentado. Esto es
lo que llamo imaginación o sueño - un sueño que proyectamos en el otro.
Este sueño necesita terminar, tú precisas despertar, y lo haces a través
de tu sadhana.”
“Sadhana, spiritual practice, is synonymous with knocking on the door of the truth. This means freeing ourselves of everything that we believe to be true so that the only thing left is the truth itself. In other words, liberating ourselves from beliefs, concepts, ideas and interpretations that are based on borrowed knowledge. Borrowed knowledge refers to everything that we understand intellectually, but have not yet experienced for ourselves. This is what I call ‘imagination’ or a ‘dream’ that we project onto the other. This dream must end – we have to wake up, and we do so through our sadhana.”
