"The Yoga of Christ: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels"

 "The Yoga of Christ: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels"  by Paramahansa Yogananda, is a book that I am currently reading (as well as several others like I always do).  I've been more & more attracted to it.  A few of the short paragraphs I've read were just completely stunning to me!!  Wow.  This yogi really knows a lot about Christianity & the Holy Bible.  I didn't know this when I picked the book up, but it is a condensed version of "The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You" a two volume work.  I am now ready to go out & get that set!  I believe Barnes & Noble has it.   

Just wanted to give a mention to this.  Happy Friday night everyone!!  Stay safe, use caution, and keep on trying to love one another.  I know it's not easy, but it's worth it.   m//r 

Eastern & Western Church Fathers

INTEGRITY "Always Is Always Forever" DVD // Pure Genius--

I have ALWAYS been a huuuge fan of INTEGRITY! I believe it was 1991 or '92 when I first heard their album, "For Those Who Fear Tomorrow" released by Overkill Records, I think, a decidedly heavy metal label. Far from the DIY, small, vegan & straightedge labels that were really just beginning to flourish at this time. Heck, even Victory Records only had a handful--less than a dozen--releases at this point. (more later....stopping mid thought as usual. Have some things to attend to at the moment...)

Jimmy Cliff "One More" Video! Music From the Great Legend!!


New song from the legendary reggae artist Jimmy Cliff, with Tim Armstrong from OPERATION IVY/RANCID/THE TRANSPLANTS playing guitar!!  Really great stuff, especially some of the other videos showing studio footage of the two.  Tim is also the one who released all three of Joe Strummer's (R.I.P.) records (Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros) on his label, Hellcat Records.  Hellcat is owned by Tim Armstrong, and it's kind of a subsidy of Epitaph Records, which is owned by Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion.  I think it's just great how older punk & reggae meet up with modern hardcorepunk.  It's a small world after all...LOL, I'll have THAT song stuck in my head for days now. Oy vey!  Seriously, get into this!  Good stuff!! m//r

RANCID Every Album, All Songs in Chronological Order!! & Some of My Musings--

AWESOME!!! Make sure to start from song #1 'cuz YouTube screws up all the time and randomly starts wherever it wants to on users playlists! But listen, this kid compiled all of RANCID's songs, from each album and made one f'n long playlist! Sure, there are a few things missing, like the first 7", the "B-Sides & C-Sides" comp. CD, etc. But heck, this is totally rad! Seriously makes my night!!
See you bastards in the pit! m//r
  [little update Fri nite 9.27.13 --watching the "Give 'em the Boot" DVD and relaxing at home. Writing in my journal, surfing the web, and reading books. This is what I do. And I'm trying to do it with love. Went to Mass today at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church here in Ypsilanti. Nice Mass said by Fr. Bob. Today is the feast day of St. Vincent dePaul. I love you all. m//r ♥♥♥]
