" Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer " Documentary--

Here we have an excellent movie on prayer & meditation. More specifically, the "Jesus Prayer." It is a prayer of the Eastern Orthodox & Eastern Catholic faith's. Thousands of monks & priests have been saying this prayer since who-knows-when! It is an ancient prayer, and a simple one. "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Amen." There is also a great book that recently came out that is kind of the same thing as this movie. It's an interesting read.

THE BRETHREN: A Documentary About the World's Northernmost Orthodox Monastery--

Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery. Meditation time, solitude & prayers. I love this kind of stuff. One day I just may take monastic vows. I've been celibate for basically three years now, live simply & modestly, eat very little, & I don't own expensive, flashy things....Unless books, magazines, and fanzines count as "flashy!" I try to love. I try not to belittle and hurt people. Do I fall short? Yes, of course, everyday, every minute, all the time. I'm a puny human. But I'm also a child of God. I have a purpose, a reason, and a RIGHT to be here. I try to thank God everyday for giving me life. I try my hardest not to kill myself with alcohol & tobacco. I try. All I can do is try. m//r ♥

Mikey Is Getting Old, Old, Old. It's His Time (Cat Content)

Warning, sad content: We have an old-ass cat here who must be 16-17 years old now. I think he has arthritis & obesity. He is over 20 pounds now. His fur is matted in thick, giant clumps. He doesn't do anything but eat and sleep. My mama can't afford him anymore. She has been asking us to take him to the Humane Society of Washtenaw County for YEARS now. My brother & I finally looked into it and it's a $20 "surrender fee" to have him euthanized.  So we will have to take him there this week. It needs to be done and I feel bad, but what else can we do?  His name is "Mikey" and he was my (our) cat for many, many years. Goodbye Mikey, it was a pleasure having your company. I'll see you on the other side.

Sat. June 10, 2005--

Yesterday was June 10. It would have been my 8th wedding anniversary. On that date in 2005 I married my soulmate. At least I thought she was my soulmate. We had been together for over five years then. Marriage seemed the logical next move, at least to her it did. Needless to say it didn't work out. Still, when June 10 rolls around, it's always a bit difficult for me. TODAY's meditation from one of my little books said: "Trust Me and don't be afraid, for I am your Strength & Song..." I like that. God is all powerful. He is always here with me. He is everywhere. There is nowhere that He isn't. He is the creator of everything I can & can't see. There is so much more to life than just THIS. Than just NOW. Yet THIS & NOW are all I have. And I don't even have it. Neither do you. Only one person does, and that person is God. Forever present in the Holy Trinity. Three Persons in One. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 
Always here. 
Always with me. 
Trust. 
Liston. 
Love.

SAMIAM " Home Sweet Home " One Of My Favorite "Emo" Songs--

" Pyramids of Bosnia " & " Exotic Energy Generation " Two Great Documentaries--

Did you know there are ancient pyramids in the country of Bosnia? I only learned this fact recently on my journey of pyramidology! I love this stuff! from what I know there is some controversy involving the pyramids & the Bosnian government. Ostensibly the govt is pretending like the pyramids don't exist, that they are simply hills that LOOK like pyramids! But when some notable pyramid experts investigated the situation, they concluded that these are in fact pyramids dating back 10,000 or more years! Like I said, I'm just learning more about these, so I don't know a whole lot yet. But I will mos def write some when I get it sorted out.

Cheers! m//r

 

" The Great Pyramid: Gateway to the Stars " Documentary Movie Based on "The Orion Mystery" Book--

This is great! Lots of great information in this 45 minute documentary movie. I love discovering new videos on YouTube, but I hate it when folks re-upload a video with a different name!  Ugggh!  I click on the video only to discover that I've already seen it.  Oh well, high class problems, I've got. m//r

" Arkangel " Animal Liberation Fanzine available for download

 I found this neat little site that has many old fanzines available for download,
including "Arkangel."  This is cool because I just recently dug out an old issue
of this fantastic militant animal liberation fanzine/magazine from my storage
unit in the basement of my mother's apartment.  Surfing around the web, looking
for Pro-Life vegan websites (I simply cannot understand how one can be vegan
but NOT be anti-abortion?!?  WTF?!?  How does that work?
Anyhow, happy to learn that there are a significant number of Pro-Life & anti
abortion vegans out there, and they are VERY vocal about it!  OK, in the spirit
of full disclosure, I will say that I am NOT vegan anymore.  And I haven't been
for a long, long time.  I was vegan in the mid 90's but stopped for a couple of years
due to circumstances out of my control.  In 1998 I went vegan again, and sold out
in 2007 or so.  It is something that was very important to me at one time though
it no longer is the most important thing to me.  I am VERY anti-abortion though.
And I know that one day soon I will have an easier time with life & thus I will
be able to follow a vegan lifestyle at that time.
Check out this site and download some 'zines!!!
