"I
love this explanation:
So this whole universe is infinite as far as
human perception goes and one galaxy is a spec of dust in that universe
and the earth is a spec of dust in the galaxy and God really cares if
one is gay or straight? God is that small and petty?
Dream on fundamentalists."

“A mente condicionada normalmente nos leva a seguir na direção oposta
àquela que determina o coração. Isso gera tensão e angústia. Esse
conflito de direções dentro de nós é o que conhecemos como sofrimento. A
mente condicionada quer agradar; ela quer ser respeitada, considerada e
amada. Portanto todas as ações que nascem dela são estratégias para
receber esse amor. Mas amor forçado não é amor. Esse “amor” não
preenche, somente aumenta a angústia. A
ação capaz de preencher o vazio existencial do ser humano com alegria é
aquela que nasce do coração. É preciso saber ouvir a voz do coração,
mesmo quando somos julgados e criticados por isso.”

"The conditioned mind usually leads us to the opposite direction from where our heart guides us towards. This causes tension and anguish. We feel this clash in directions simply as suffering. The conditioned mind wants to please, so as to make us feel respected, considered and loved. All actions born from this place are strategies to receive this love – a forced love that really isn't love at all, for it doesn't fulfill us and only increases our anguish. Only actions that spring from the heart can fill up with joy that existential emptiness human beings feel. We need to learn to listen to the voice of the heart, even if we are judged and criticized for it."

“Qual a diferença entre a dependência e a entrega num relacionamento? É
a mesma diferença que existe entre medo e confiança, são extremos
opostos. A dependência é um desdobramento do medo, a entrega é um
desdobramento da confiança.”
“¿Cuál es la diferencia entre la dependencia y la entrega en una relación? Es la misma diferencia que existe entre miedo y confianza, son extremos opuestos. La dependencia es un desdoblamiento del miedo, la entrega es un desdoblamiento de la confianza.”
“¿Cuál es la diferencia entre la dependencia y la entrega en una relación? Es la misma diferencia que existe entre miedo y confianza, son extremos opuestos. La dependencia es un desdoblamiento del miedo, la entrega es un desdoblamiento de la confianza.”
"What is the difference between dependence and surrender within a
relationship? It's the same as the difference between fear and trust –
they are extreme opposites. Dependence is an offshoot of fear, while
surrender is an unfolding of trust.”

“Temos reproduzido na esfera coletiva as mesmas dificuldades que
vivemos nos nossos relacionamentos afetivos, na nossa família, com
nossos vizinhos, com quem está perto. Precisamos rever nossos
comportamentos, mudar a nossa relação com o outro e com a natureza. Os
sintomas da crise que estamos vivendo são desdobramentos da inabilidade
do ser humano em lidar com a própria sombra. Assim como suprimimos o
ciúme e a inveja, deixando esses
sentimentos influenciarem nossas vidas de forma indireta, temos deixado o
ódio inconsciente destruir o planeta. Na base da crise planetária está a
guerra dos sexos, a distorção do masculino e do feminino.”

"We recreate the same difficulties at the collective level that we endure within our loving relationships, with our family, neighbors or whoever we are around. It's time we take a better look at our behaviors, so as to transform our relationship with others, as well as with nature as a whole. We are experiencing a crisis, the symptoms of which stem from our inability to deal with our own shadow. In the same way that we feed jealousy or envy, allowing these feelings to indirectly influence our lives, we have also been allowing unconscious hatred to destroy the planet. At the very root of this whole global crisis lies a war between the sexes, acting through the distortion of the masculine and feminine principles."

WGB Poll: Americans more comfortable with gay presidential candidate than evangelical

By comparison, 52% said they'd be enthusiastic about or comfortable with an evangelical Christian running for president, while 44% expressed some degree of hesitancy about the idea and 4% were not sure. Full story here!

“Ao longo da jornada evolutiva a entidade humana constrói máscaras para
se proteger da dor. Essas máscaras são criadas de acordo com o que ela
tem, com sua história, com o ambiente onde vive - de acordo com o karma
que ela carrega. Alguns aprendem que, para conseguirem o que querem,
precisam ser vítimas, outros aprendem que precisam ser agressivos.
Alguns entendem que precisam ser caridosos e religiosos, outros que
precisam ser criminosos. Alguns vestem a
máscara da autossuficiência, da superioridade, outros da impotência e
da fragilidade. Mas, não importa qual seja a máscara, ela não tem nada a
ver com a verdade de quem é você.”

Some people learn that they have to be a victim to get what they want, others learn that they need to be aggressive. Some people believe that they need to be charitable and religious, others believe they have to be criminals. Some people wear the mask of self-sufficiency and superiority, others wear the mask of helplessness and weakness. No matter what the mask is, it has nothing to do with the truth of who you are.”

Via JMG: ARIZONA: Rubio Headlines Fundraiser For Group That Backs "Ex-Gay" Torture
Although there was no media inside the room at the Center for Arizona Policy fundraiser, held at Arizona Christian University, and a spokesperson from Rubio’s campaign did not respond to repeated requests Wednesday for comment about the event or what Rubio planned to say, at least two attendees did post on social media from within the event with remarks from Rubio. “Even as I’m speaking to you now, a human life is being terminated in America,” a congressional staffer attending Wednesday’s event quoted Rubio as saying. The staffer works for Rep. Trent Franks, who also was in attendance. “Without faith at the core of our society, you fall into an era of moral relativism,” the staffer quoted Rubio as saying. When Rubio was discussing marriage, the Franks staffer did not quote Rubio directly, but he tweeted, “Dangerous era in America, says @marcorubio, where if you believe in the traditional definition of marriage, you’re a bigot.”Two weeks ago Rubio declared that he believes that sexual orientation is "something people are born with." It doesn't appear that he addressed "ex-gay" therapy during his speech.

“É curioso ver que muitos não aprendem com suas desilusões e fracassos
nos relacionamentos, e seguem acreditando que obterão felicidade através
do outro. Essa fantasia se mantém por algum tempo, enquanto cada um
vive sua vida e o casal se encontra de vez em quando. Mas, quando
resolvem morar juntos, a verdade aparece. Logo a relação vira um campo
de batalha. Isso ocorre porque as pessoas não querem alguém para amar,
elas querem alguém para satisfazer suas
necessidades e caprichos. Elas querem se tornar donos do outro. E o pior

Via hubpages: The Verdict is in: Guess Who's The Worst President in US History?
There
is much debate about who was the best or worst president in US history.
It's too important of a subject to rely on opinion polls which are
skewed by the influence of individual bias and political views. Yet It's
difficult to quantify how good or bad any president may have been in
comparison to another. However, a careful look at the facts shows one
president failed in virtually every aspect of the job to a degree
unrivaled by any other president.

“Se você carrega dentro de si um pacto de vingança em relação a uma
pessoa, de certa forma, ela fica presa também. Se essa pessoa ainda não é
iluminada, esses sentimentos e pensamentos acabam exercendo influência
sobre ela. Mas o mesmo acontece quando você perdoa. Ao libertar-se do
ódio, você libera a outra pessoa também.”
“Si llevas dentro de ti un pacto de venganza en relación a una persona, en cierto modo, ella queda atrapada también. Si esa persona no está iluminada, estos sentimientos y pensamientos terminan ejerciendo influencia sobre ella. Pero lo mismo sucede cuando perdonas. Al liberarte del odio, liberas a la otra persona también.”

"If we carry
within us a pact of revenge pact towards someone, in some way, this
person gets stuck as well. If that person is not yet enlightened, our
feelings and thoughts end up influencing them. The same thing happens
when we forgive someone: by freeing ourselves of our hatred, we also
liberate the other person.”
