With all the political turmoil in the Middle East, oil has dominated the commodities landscape, but I'm here to tell you why you need to start paying attention to one of the biggest trends in energy. Read on, and I'll fill you in on the most controversial drilling practice in the U.S., and how you can possibly make boatloads of cash from its success.
So what's all the drama about?
Natural gas prices have been low for a long time now, and people investing their dollars into the natural gas market have been sourly rewarded.
The main reason: an oversupply of gas due in part to energy companies, specifically those that search for shale gas using a controversial method called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
The newest saga dealing with fracking is that there are numerous claims that state:
- Fracking can contaminate groundwater and soil with terribly harmful chemicals.
- Fracking companies are overestimating their production levels at wells and cannot be trusted.
- An enormous amount of money is pouring into companies involved with extracting shale gas, and the outcome and profitability of their projects is more than uncertain.
In fact, last week, New York Times reporter Ian Urbina quoted an email from an industry analyst, who said that shale gas is "a giant Ponzi scheme, and the economics just do not work."
So is this the most dangerous play in energy?
Probably not. So far, numerous columnists and experts have come out since the New York Times article to dispute the claims against shale gas. Most notably, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has said that the conclusions drawn by Urbina were at odds with the data that was provided to him.
Chesapeake Energy
If that's not enough evidence, simply look to the commodities market to verify the availability of shale gas. Prices are cheap -- so cheap, in fact, that they are at a 50% discount to European sources and are at a record 16% discount to coal. If energy companies were in fact inflating their production levels and fudging numbers, I doubt that the commodities market would be pushing down the price of natural gas so significantly. The fact is that supply is prominent, and these companies are trying their hardest to figure out what to do with all their extra reserves. Exciting? Yes. Dangerous? Not in my mind.
So why should you even care?
It's no secret that the U.S. is overly dependent on importing oil from foreign nations in order to fulfill domestic demand. However, high oil prices, geopolitical turmoil, and complicated environmental regulations all combine to make many investors turn to natural gas as a possible substitute or answer to our oil-entrenched ways.
In addition:
- As emissions standards change and climate concerns grow, there will be more and more focus on reducing coal capacity in favor of things like natural gas.
- The EIA has substantially lowered its projection of natural gas imports, meaning we will have to depend more heavily on domestic, or shale gas for production.
- By the year 2030, the EIA expects shale gas to represent about 7% of total global gas production. Not just U.S. production -- but total global production!
200 reasons it could affect you
Estimates of recoverable U.S. natural gas were about 1,100 trillion cubic feet in 1990; today that number stands at about 2,587 trillion cubic feet. Shale gas production, in particular, is expected to triple between 2009 and 2035. Remarkably, the United States has 200 years of natural gas supplies.
If you're building a portfolio of stocks for yourself, or for your children, or grandchildren, and you're looking to invest for the long term (maybe not 200 years, but still, you get my point), then natural gas might just be one of the best options available to you.
So who are some of the biggest players in the sector? Chesapeake Energy, as mentioned above, in addition to Devon Energy
But the leading independents certainly aren't going to let the big boys push them around, nor are they just going to complacently wait for the price of natural gas to go back up. Chesapeake, for instance, has said it's going to invest $1 billion over the next 10 years in natural-gas-vehicle technologies. The company is going to try and increase demand for natural gas as an alternative to gas and diesel, and it's doing so by setting up service stations and highway infrastructure. Primarily Chesapeake will be investing in two companies, Clean Energy Fuels
The Foolish bottom line
With all the groundbreaking and new technologies, there are of course risks. Many shale gas wells are only a few years old, so their long-term productivity is somewhat unknown. Although the environmental impact, so far, doesn't seem to be overwhelming, new evidence could come to light that renders fracking a very dangerous activity. This is the nature of getting involved with something new and somewhat untested.
However, I'm more confident now than ever that natural gas, and in particular, companies positioned to take advantage of U.S. shale resources, have an unprecedented opportunity in front of them. By investing in these companies before all the smart money does (big institutions and fund managers), you might be able to profit for years to come.

On October 1, activists from the group Abolish Human Abortion (AHA) took a break from handing out anti-abortion pamphlets, and went to Bedlam Coffee in Seattle, Washington.
As the activists quietly drank their brew, the owner of the shop, Ben Borgman, entered the room and demanded that they leave. Although the group had allegedly not handed out any pamphlets in the shop, Borgman had one in his possession, and was offended by what he saw.
Holding the anti-abortion material, which can be seen in the video footage initially uploaded to Facebook, Borgman says: "I'm gay. You have to leave." A female activists then asks: "Are you denying us service?" to which Borgman replies: "I am, yeah."
The conversation continues, with a male activist asking: "So, why aren't we allowed to stay?" Borgman answers: "This is offensive to me. I own the place. I have a right to be offended."
After an increasingly terse discussion, Borgman becomes more agitated. Pointing to the pamphlet, he says: "This is you; I do not want these people in this place. This is extremely offensive."
When one of the activists notes that Borgman was "not willing to tolerate our presence," the coffee shop owner becomes visibly angry, and the exchange goes on from there:
BORGMAN: Can you tolerate my presence?
ACTIVIST: We are. We're actually in your coffee shop.
BORGMAN: Really? If I go get my boyfriend right now and f**k him in the a** right here, you're going to tolerate that?
ACTIVIST: That would be your choice.
BORGMAN: Are you going to tolerate it? Answer my f***ing question! No, you're going to sit right here and f***ing watch it.
ACTIVIST: Well, no, I mean, we don't want to watch that.
BORGMAN: Well then, I don't have to f***ing tolerate this. Then leave — all of you! Tell all your f**king friends don't come here!
[WARNING: Video Contains Strong Language]
This incident is a perfect lesson in free-market economics.
Conservatives have rightly been disturbed by the instances of Christian business owners being sued for their refusal to participate in activities that violate their deeply held religious beliefs. Florists, bakers, chapel owners — all varieties of wedding-related businesses have seen the legal axe come down on them simply because they politely declined involvement in same-sex weddings.
It would be easy to turn the tables and condemn the coffee shop owner for his actions. However, as conservatives, we should be looking at this case in a different light. This was the free-market at work.
Was Bedlam Coffee owner, Ben Borgman, rude and vulgar? Without question, yes. Was the manner in which the incident took place unfortunate? Again, yes. Did Borgman have the right to refuse service to individuals whose views he found deeply offensive? Yes.
In a free-market, any business owner should be allowed to refuse service to any potential customer. The result, of course, could be that Bedlam Coffee goes under.
If enough Christians and anti-abortion activists see this video and decide to take their business elsewhere, Bedlam may lose a great deal of revenue. Such a loss will have one of three effects: 1) Bedlam loses money and goes out of business; 2) Borgman decides to serve customers with beliefs he finds offensive in order to remain competitive; 3) Nothing changes due to Seattle's very progressive population keeping the discriminatory business afloat.
Regardless of the outcome, this is not an incident over which conservatives should become angry, this is an incident we can use to educate people on the values of the free market. Sure, we can condemn Borgman's crude behavior, but the core lesson, economically speaking, is something conservatives have been yelling into the wind for years.
Perhaps progressives will actually take notice this time.

Non-surgical Spinal Decompression in New York City
Non-surgical spinal decompression in New York City can take away chronic pain felt in the back or leg. It is a revolutionary traction treatment that can correct various spinal problems in a safe and reliable manner. Patients who were practically confined to their beds are now able to move about independently without help or support from anyone.
Curative Treatment for Degenerating Spine
The spine may weaken and degenerate naturally or prematurely causing repeated episodes of pain in varying intensities. In some cases patients suffer from disc herniation and bulging discs wherein conventional forms of back pain treatment such as epidural steroid injections, medication, physical therapy, chiropractic and pain management techniques fail to provide effective relief. Such conditions call for a more intensive form of treatment that can bring about measurable difference in a relatively short period of time.
Spinal decompression is a painless and curative procedure. It involves a series of distraction and relaxation phases from a sophisticated computer managed mechanism. As a negative pressure builds up, the bulging disc is isolated and pushed back into its proper place. The procedure also facilitates the entry of blood and oxygen into the affected regions for proper healing of the weakened disc. Spinal decompression can also help treat certain other conditions such as:
- Sciatica
- Facet syndrome
- Pinched nerves
- Spinal arthritis
- Radiculopathy
- Spondylosis
Spinal decompression can be an alternative for a complex and risky surgery. Patients may require multiple sessions depending upon the complexity of their condition. Specialists would determine if there is a need for undergoing passive therapies and exercise along with the decompression treatment.
Return to a Normal Lifestyle
Non-surgical spinal decompression in New York City helps patients regain full control over their body and return to a normal lifestyle. Patients who may have undergone a failed surgery for the back may be eligible for the procedure. There are quite a few healthcare centers that provide the treatment in a comfortable environment with quality care and compassionate treatment.

Your business has a website and it looks great (or at least you think so). Customers say they like it as well. What is with this optimization thing? Why should I optimize my business website? It all starts with what you want your website to achieve. Local business websites generally fall into two categories:
The website that serves existing customers.
The first requires little or no optimization. Existng customers know the business, they probably already have the website address from a business card or email. Generally the lack of competition for the search phrase that is a business name means that a "search by name" will bring up the business website. A website that serves existing customers is both easy to maintain and unrewarding.
The website that serves existing customers and generates new customers.
This type of website is different. It takes understanding and consistent effort. To understand some of what it takes you can review the lesson content in our online marketing training. In January 2007 there 106,875,138 websites on the internet. In January 2011 there were 273,301,445 websites. That is 156% growth in just four years. This growth makes it more difficult than ever to get found online by people looking for your products or services. The need to optimize is greater than ever and optimization is getting more complex.
Optimizing your website is essential for driving new customers. When a search is conducted for anything online, it causes the search engine of choice to query the database of billions of web style documents. In truth it is similar to a standard database query just extremely more complex. From this query the search engines want to focus on three areas:
- Relevance
- Prominence
- Distance
The search engines use these matrix to return results that are relevant or useful to the searcher's query, The results are ranked in order of importance. It is all three components that the process of search engine optimization is designed to influence.
If you want to gain new customers search engine optimization is a critical component of any local business marketing plan.

Leadership Cards® are a fun,innovative way to explore different leadership and communication styles. Cards are passed out AFTER a fully facilitated rhythm event so that participants have an opportunity to view the basic body language and facilitation techniques. Originally designed for adult leadership development programs, the cards can be used with younger groups as well–Provided you lead them well in the beginning!
About Leadership Cards:
—Cards are numbered and are designed to be completed sequentially.
—Cards should be used after a trained facilitator has lead participants through a full, mixed instrument drum circle experience. The facilitator must serve as a model for the participants to build on. Clarity of intention and consistent body language will ensure a successful experience.
—For small groups, each person can be given two or three cards as necessary in order to complete the entire 25 card sequence.
— Cards are designed to create one, long facilitation sequence rather than many sequences on one card, creating the need for true teamwork and leadership.
–Emphasize that each task is a "set up" for the next task.
–The facilitator should remain engaged to the group process (and aid in keeping the flow of the groove) to guide the new leaders through any "rough spots".
—The Leadership Cards are specifically designed to challenge participants to communicate non-verbally, but use your judgement. Sometimes groups may need a little help, so some verbalization is OK!
How to use Leadership Cards: General Guidelines for Exploration
- Make sure the group has all the necessary instruments required on the cards! (wood, metal, shakers, drums)
- When you are ready to empower your participants to lead the group through the activity, distribute cards randomly.
- Make sure participants know they must keep track of their number on the cards to know when they are next.
- The leader who is in the center of the circle should hold up their card to display it's number BEFORE facilitating their part.
- It's OK to stop the groove to process something that was "unclear" or confusing. The cards are meant as a processing tool. You will create interesting dialogues about various leadership styles this way.
- BE CREATIVE. You will probably find many additional uses or NEW activities for these cards. There is NO one right way. Try it the way the cards were designed, then make up your own if you want!
- Always find out what your participants thought. The processing is an important part.
Sample Questions for Processing:
- Is it different speaking to/leading a group who is seated in a circle rather than in rows?
- Did you notice that you ALWAYS have your back to someone when in a circle?
- Do you find yourself addressing only the people who are in front of you?
- When you were leading the circle, did you clearly achieve the task on the card?
Praise for Leadership Cards®
For the corporate and business training world, John Scalici has created a very simple, yet intelligent deck of rhythm event facilitation cards. He designed them to develop individual leadership skills, communication skills, and experiential learning. The cards are revealed AFTER participants have experienced a facilitated rhythm event event, focusing specifically on his leadership teachings. Then the participants are invited to step out of the box use the cards in a safe and fun experiential learning facilitation challenge.
I've experienced John using these cards with amazing results directed towards building lasting leadership and communication skills in a very short time.
Also, If you are professional rhythm event facilitator, I would highly recommended John's Leadership Facilitation Cards for your facilitator's tool kit! The games that you can play with you participants using these cards are adaptable, and fun in almost any rhythm based event situation.
Arthur Hull, Owner, Village Music Circles
I LOVE these cards. As a facilitator I'm always looking for tools to help bring my groups to life and get them fully engaged as leaders in the moment. John's Leadership Cards are just that tool. I have used these cards successfully to help others find the courage to get up and lead a rhythm circle, become empowered to facilitate and develop confidence to find their leadership voice.
– Jim Boneau, Leadership Coach and Master Facilitator @ The Rumble Group
"Scalici's Leadership Cards are incredibly well designed, easy to use, and generate fantastic results. They are a perfect platform for developing leadership in achievable increments, and an excellent tool for facilitating interactive rhythm events."

The last day to purchase a For Life product with a lifetime guarantee is March 26 2018. Please register the product immediately, because your last chance to register, or activate, your For Life product is May 31 2018.

Are you a current For Life owner?
We will still honor all our existing For Life guarantees for products purchased before March 26 2018, and registered by May 31 2018.
If you need to make a claim, go ahead and click the yellow button below.

We have added weight and thickness to the inner core of the sole and used a highly resilient and supple leather called Hardlife. With a little help from you, these boots and shoes will give you a lifetime of wear.
Without proper conditioning, even the finest-quality leathers, like those in the for life products, will eventually dry and lose their durability. Take the time to care for the leather - and you'll be rewarded with a pair of boots or shoes which will not only keep their looks, but last for years to come.

Subscribe To Daniel Craig Wasn't Actually Offered Thor Updates
I've already subscribed
You don't necessarily expect Daniel Craig to have a sense of humor, given that he's famous for playing the solemn and stone-faced James Bond, but he's a pretty funny and sarcastic guy. Which is getting him in trouble, apparently, now that he's James Bond and people hang on to every word he says.
That's how the rumor got out a few weeks ago that he had been offered the role of Thor, one of the Marvel heroes slated to get his own movie. IESB reported that Craig had turned the role down, but Craig clarified in an interview today that it was just a joke. "I have no idea about Thor. I just was having a joke!"
Craig told the story in response to my question about his newfound fame, and how every offhand remark he makes gets reprinted as a story about Bond. Craig said he knows to watch what he says from now on, which means we probably won't get another crazy rumor about him being offered a role in The First Wives Club 2 or something. It's a shame; he could have made my job a lot more fun.
Check later today for our entire roundtable interview with Craig, which includes his big vacation plans, his code of silence with director Marc Forster, and the secret location of all the good scripts in Hollywood.

My new sewing machine is working like a dream! For a few days I spent working on my doll. I have tried one of these dolls a couple of years ago and I just couldn't get her to look right, but this time I know a little bit more about sewing and how things go together. I really think she is coming along really well so far. I am very excited to watch her come together.
I decided to take a break and today I made a curtain for my window. It's not all the way finished, and I still have another one to make for the living room but once I get them both up and hanging, I will show you what they look like.
I am so excited for my doll to come together. My sewing machine is really doing great and I have yet had to re-thread it because it breaks or knots up! Woo-hoo! D

On Tuesday, the IOAGPL snapped PNG connection to government medical college as the latter was reluctant to pay the security of Rs 5.18 lakh.They disconnected the PNG supply to commercial establishments in the campus that served three hostels and a Kudumbashree-run canteen. Of these, two hostels a BSc nursing hostel and a general nursing hostel permanently shifted to LPG after disconnection.
The hostel for MBBS students also may soon go back to LPG.Many industrial units in Cochin Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) had plans to secure PNG connections to run their factories. Now, they are having a rethink. K K Pillai, president of CSEZ Industries Association said disconnecting PNG supply to medical college is a serious issue. This has forced the CSEZ companies to reconsider their demand for PNG connection.
"We held several rounds of discussions with the officials of IOAGPL for securing PNG connections to many firms in the special economic zone. Nowhere had they mentioned that security deposit is applicable for PNG customers. If they demand huge security from commercial establishments, we will be forced to back out from our decision to adopt PNG," Pillai said. There are more than eight companies in CSEZ waiting for PNG connection.
Thankamony T Alex, principal of government school of nursing said that they have no plans to depend on PNG anymore. "We had shifted to LPG immediately after they stopped the PNG supply . We also forwarded a request to concerned authorities to cut all PNG connec tions to our kitchen. It has been more than eight months since we started using PNG. During the period, we found that LPG is cheaper than the PNG supplied by IOAGPL," said Thankamony .
The connection was however restored by 11 pm on Tuesday . "It was after district collector stepped in that they restored the connection. PNG supply to the entire campus will be stopped if they continue to demand security deposit," said Dr V K Sreekala, principal, government medical college, Ernakulam.
Besides a few domestic connections given during the inauguration of the city gas project on February 20, 2015, the IOAGPL couldn't make much progress. During the inauguration of the city gas project, the authorities had declared that 50,000 households in the district will get PNG in the next four or five years. There were also plans to roll out compressed natural gas (CNG) outlets in the city. But nothing concrete has happened so far.

Parson says lawmakers are 'grandstanding' on tax mistake
JEFFERSON CITY — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says state lawmakers are "grandstanding" by holding numerous hearings to discuss a tax refund problem caused by a mistake on state tax withholding tables.
Parson on Wednesday defended Revenue Director Joel Walters handling of the problem, which could cost thousands of Missouri taxpayers on their state income tax returns for 2018.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Parson noted that Walters has testified at 10 hearings so far about the issue. He says the revenue department has worked to fix the 15-year-old miscalculation on withholding tables, and Walters is focusing on solutions, rather than political grandstanding.
The miscalculation, which has been corrected, could sharply reduce or eliminate many people's state refunds.
Some lawmakers say the revenue department did a poor job of warning Missourians about the problem.

and here we have my reduced version of the Made in Cherry star quilt with Amy Butlers Daisy Chain. I've had the fabric, the solid, the binding and the back all set aside for this one for over 2 years, so I'm delighted to have finally made it. Have to say, I rather like this one myself!
And before I forget again, the first thing mum got stuck into for me when she arrived was the centre for my Brit Bee quilt this year. This time, as you may have read here or here, we are mixing it up a little and we have one design which we are all making - the only differences will be how we do the centre stars. This is my centre star, and my specifications for colour scheme are blues, greys, low volume, and lilac purples. Mum did a Stellar job piecing my star (and she will hopefully be teaming up with me all year in case I cant sew with beany right away). Anyway. Its been sent on to the rest of Brit Bee, and I shant see it again for well over a year.... exciting!!!
Blimey that's scary, my life in the next year.... Next time I see this block I hope I'll have a happy, healthy little 1 year old!!!!

Tribe Lombok
Mistral Tribe Lombok sup inflatable
The Lombok is the largest of our entry level Tribe range of boards at 11'5 x 31″ and has had much praise for its shape, being a fun and efficient paddle board, that provides maximum performance and enjoyment in an entry level, recreational inflatable board. Loaded with features not seen on many entry level boards.

Key Features
Pro Level
- 11'5x31"x6"
- 336 ltr
- 8,6 kg
Entry level boards require certain design features in order to provide the best possible, first time learner experience and there is a tendency to want to create for entry level paddlers, overly wide boards and simple elliptical shapes, which ultimately lack character and any real functionality, accept stability.
We've pulled the nose in tight to make up-wind paddling smoother and the board streamlined from the paddler's perspective when on board. A wide tail adds huge gains in stability and the longer extended parallel side rails adds to the boards ability to hold a straight line when required, with relatively limited extra steering strokes.
In speaking with may instructors, the feedback was that the board should have a nose section which can handle chop upwind and be shaped to promote speed and stability. A wide rear section provides the stability, while the narrowing toward the nose, gives a pleasant, streamlined feel to the board, the first time paddler appreciates. A cargo net and a D-ring for towing and securing, front and back, plus the addition of a nose grab handle, all come together to make for an exceptional entry level board for all-comers.
Our Tribe boards represent fun and versatily and when combined with Mistral's Fusion Layer Technology (FLT) the boards are super light and easy to live with, when carrying to the waters edge and when paddling and enjoying.

'Marie' a MOC by Tekka CroeMay 5, 2009 posted by Skipper24
'Marie' is an impressive ship designed with a sleek round stern, plain white sails and a awe inspiring jet black figure head, ready to instill the most hearty pirates with fear. Laden with cannons and rigging this ship is a welcome addition to any navy.
'Marie' was designed and built by Tekka Croe who's original design varied quite indifferently from this updated version. The unusual element in the MOC is the sleek curved stern which holds the large captain's cabin. The MOC is full of surprises and interesting LEGO® elements and techniques.

Elders Meditation Of The Day- Creator's Simple Laws Bring Happiness
The Creator designed a very simple set of Laws for us to follow. If we follow these simple things, we'll be happy. If we don't follow these simple things, our lives become complicated.
For example:
Respect Mother Earth
Love one another
Be truthful
Give to your brother and sisters
Be gentle with each other
Be happy
Following these simple Laws will have great rewards.
Great Spirit, let me lead a simple life.
The Daily Feast- Ignoring Common Sense
In retrospect, we have ignored common sense in favor of doing what we wanted to do. We wish we had not done it, but we said what we wanted to say, spoke out when it would have been better to stay quiet – we have overruled our common sense. Looking back again, when did we get off track? What little thing stung us into action? If we learn to hear the voice of wisdom we can overcome our foolishness. Wisdom never lets us down, but ignoring it will put away from us the best friend we can have.

Sincerity is the jewel that forms in the shell of the heart. Re: Look For It!
This is one of the most " beautiful inspirations" I have read in a long time.
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
Very few realize what power sincerity carries. A false man, however physically strong he is or however great is his willpower, is kept down by his falsehood; it never allows him to rise. It eats into him because it is rust. Those who have done great things in life, in whatever walk of life it be, have done them by the power of truth, the power of sincerity.
from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/IV/IV_31.htm
Sincerity is the principal thing in life. Youth is the age which is most attracted to superficiality. That is the reason why many youths adopt an artificial manner of thought, speech and action, which is very undesirable and does not benefit their life. It is important to inculcate sincerity in the character of the youth. To give a youth a love of sincerity is extremely useful, for the power of sincerity can work miracles.
from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/III/III_I_6.htm
The more sincerity is developed, the greater share of truth you will have. And however much sincerity a person may have, there is always a gap to fill, for we live in the midst of falsehood, and we are always apt to be carried away by this world of falsehood. Therefore we must never think we are sincere enough, and we must always be on our guard against influences which may carry us away from that sincerity which is the bridge between ourselves and our ideal. No study, no meditation is more helpful than sincerity itself.

Mental Purification and Healing- The Power Within Us
The Spiritual Message of Hazarat Inayet Khan:
(July 5, 1882 – February 5, 1927)
Side codicil: The substance of Sufism is the Truth and the meaning of Sufism is the selfless experiencing and actualization of the Truth.
One reads in the books from the East about the different miracles performed by great souls, and one wonders if there is some truth in them. One hears that there are people who know what is going on far away. That there are people who can send their thought from a very great distance. That there are people who can create things, produce things in a moment without having any materials. That there are people who can make things disappear. One even reads and hears that there are some who can command the rain to fall and who can make the multitude move according to their command, their will, and who can inspire the multitude in a flash. That there are those who can prevent plagues and who can perform wonders in war.
No doubt there are many jugglers among them, but whenever there is truth, there is falsehood on the other side to laugh at it. Nevertheless, the truth remains just the same. There are stories of the wonder-workings and phenomena which occur in the East. Many of those stories no doubt are of the jugglers who by sleight of hand or by some hypnotic influence can perform wonders. But there are others who are genuine. Wonders are performed during their lives, and people see them performed. But the genuine ones never say that they can perform wonders. Neither do they seek such powers. These powers come naturally. Man generally is not conscious of the power he has. When a man becomes conscious of that power, he is able to do things which people cannot ordinarily accomplish.
There are two powers: one is called in Sufi terms Qaza and the other Qadr. One is individual power and the other is God power. The individual power can work and can accomplish things as long as it is working in consonance with God's power. But the moment the individual power works contrary to God's power the man begins to realize that his strength is diminishing that he cannot accomplish anything. Therefore the first thing that masters seek is the pleasure of God, to be in consonance with the will of God. And just as a person who has practiced a gambling game or any kind of sport has learnt the way in which to practice it, so the man who has it continually in mind to do everything in consonance with God's power is helped by the will of God.
Very often people have misunderstood the will of God. They think that what they consider good is the will of God, and what they consider not good is not the will of God. But their idea of good and wrong has nothing to do with the power of God, because God's outlook is different from man's outlook. Man only sees so far and no further, whereas God sees all things.
But one wonders, if we all belong to the body of God, if we are all as atoms of His Being, why do we not understand, why do we not readily know what is in consonance with the will of God and what not? And the answer is that each atom of our body is conscious of itself. If there is a pain in the finger, the ear does not feel it. If there is a pain in the toe, the nose does not feel it; only the toe feels it. But in both cases the man feels it because the man possesses the whole body.
Man lives in a narrow world he has made for himself. According to it he sees right and wrong, and his interests in life depend upon it. Therefore he is not always able to work in consonance with the will of God unless he makes it a habit to work in consonance with God's will.
What is man? Is man only his body? No, man is his mind, man is the soul. And therefore the power of man is greater than the power of the sun, for the sun we see is only a body, but man is body, mind, and soul. Once man has become conscious of his body, mind and soul, his power becomes greater than the power of the sun. Because the sun is the material manifestation of the light, but man has all light within him. The body of man is radiance; a radiance, which is so great that all the invisible beings which live in space, are hidden by the glow of the human form. Nothing exists which is not visible; only, one thing which is more visible hides the other which is not so visible. It is the glow and radiance of the human body which is so great that it hides the beings in space. In reality they are all visible. But the radiance of man's form stands out and hides all that is less visible compared with it. When we look at life from this point of view, there is nothing that is invisible. It is only that there are things, which our eyes have no power to see, but this does not mean that they are formless.
Besides man's mind has a still greater power, and that is the power of will, of mind, that can bring about change in conditions, in environments; it can have power over matter, over objects, over affairs; it can even work so wonderfully that one cannot explain it. The power of mind can work on the multitude, as the following story of Muhammad shows.
In one of the great wars that the Prophet had to fight the whole army was defeated, and there only remained ten or fifteen friends by the side of the Prophet and all the others ran away or were dead or wounded. Then the Prophet turned to his people and saw that they were all downhearted and despairing. So he said, 'Look, before us there is an army and here are we, fifteen men. You do not see any hope; now you must retreat. But I, I will stand here whether I am to come back victorious or lose my life here on the battlefield. Now you go. Many of you have already left, so you go also.' They said, 'No, Prophet, if your life is to be ended here on the battlefield our lives will be taken first. What are our lives after all! We shall give our lives together with you, Prophet. We are not afraid of this enemy.' And then the Prophet threw away the sword he had in his hand and bowed down and took a few pebbles from the earth and threw them at the army. And the army began to run for miles and miles. They did not know what was behind them. It was only a few pebbles. But what they saw were great missiles and they began to run.
That is called power; that is man's power. It is not only that man has power over objects, but also man has power over beings. It is only a little touch of power that the master of the circus uses to make the elephants work and tigers and lions dance before him. When his power is greater, he has only to look at them to make them work as he wishes them to.
When it is told in the story of Daniel that he went into the lions' den and made them all lie tamed at his feet, that is again the spiritual power. It shows what power man has; at the same time, not knowing of it, not being conscious of it, not trying to develop it, he debars himself from that great privilege and bliss that God has given; and with his limited powers he works in the world for money. In the end no money remains with him, nor has he ever known power. Power depends greatly upon the consciousness and the attitude of mind. A guilty conscience can turn lions into rabbits. They lose their power once they feel guilty; and so it is with man. When a man is impressed by what others think, if that impression is of disappointment or distress or shame, his power is diminished; but when he is inspired by a thought, a feeling, an action he performs, then he is powerful.
It is the power of truth that makes one stronger. Apart from those who know truth, even those who do not know truth, if they think rightly will have some power, the power of sincerity. Very few realize what power sincerity carries. A false man, however physically strong he is or however great is his will power, is kept down by his falsehood; it never allows him to rise. It eats into him because it is rust. Those who have done great things in life, in whatever walk of life it be, have done them by the power of truth, the power of sincerity, of earnestness, of conviction; when that is lacking, power is lacking. What takes away man's power is doubt. As soon as a person thinks, is it so or not? Will it be or not be? Is it right or not right? Then he is powerless. And this is so contagious that every mind catches it. You can go to a doubting person when you have great enthusiasm and hope; and he may so impress you with darkness that you end in the same boat. Doubt takes away courage and hope and optimism.
There are three grades of evolved human beings. In Sanskrit they are called Atma, Mahatma and Paramatma; in other words, a holy person, a divine soul and an almighty soul. In the case of the first, an illuminated soul can show five different powers. These powers are magnetic powers. The first aspect is the revivifying of the physical body. The next is brightening the intelligence. The third is deepening the love-element in the heart. The fourth is etherealizing and deepening insight; and the fifth aspect is uniting with God. With the fifth aspect the illuminated soul shows the greatest power.
The power can also be divided into two parts: one is the power of insight, the other is the power of will. The power of insight does not construct, does not make anything. It only sees; it is a passive power. The one who has the power of insight can see into human nature. He has an insight into the heart of another person, into the soul of another person, into his life, his affairs, into his past, present, and future. What inspires him in this way? What is it that he sees? He seems to understand the language of nature, the language of life. He seems to read the form, the feature, the movement, the atmosphere, the thought and feeling. This is because everything has certain vibrations and a certain tendency. Therefore, to have insight is to know the language of life. And such a one can see to such an extent that the other does not know so much about himself as the one who sees. For everyone is blinded by his own affairs. When he is told he may know it, but if you do not tell him he does not know. It seems as if the knowledge of his own being is buried within himself.
Where does this science come from? Also from the knowledge of insight, at least at the beginning. Other things improve upon it; but this science which begins with intuition is insight. The great inventors of the world have insight into things. They may not believe this, but all the same they have it. They penetrate through the object and its purpose, and they utilize it towards its purpose. In that way they make use of insight for scientific inventions. If they knew, they could make use of the same insight a thousand times better.
The Mahatmas are different. It is not only that they have magnetic power but also they have divine instinct, divine inspiration. Stories are told about the constructive power of Mahatmas; one is very interesting as it shows what this power can achieve.
Once a prince was sent away from his country, his father having disapproved of his conduct. And he went and lived in the forest for a long time under the training of a Guru, a teacher, and developed spiritually. And when the time came that he should be given initiation into the higher power, the Guru asked, 'My Chela, have you any relatives?' He said, 'Yes, my father and mother.' The teacher said, 'You must go to them and ask them first if you may take the initiation; because once you take it, you will have to live the life of solitude.' The teacher thought it was better that he should first go to his people and see all the possibilities of worldly life. Then, if he did not want such a life, he could come back. And the Chela was so developed at that time that he had no desire to go to his parents in that kingdom and see them again. But since the Guru told him to do it, he went. When he reached his kingdom, he went to the garden where he had lived before, and which had been neglected for many years. There was nothing left in the garden. He went there and sat down and was very sorry to see his garden so neglected. He took the water in his pitcher and sprinkled it on both sides; and the garden began to flourish.
And so it was made known to the whole kingdom that a sage had arrived; the place where he stayed for a few days had begun to flourish. The story goes on to relate that the king heard that his son was there; that he came and wanted him to take over the kingdom, to work for the country. But he refused and went away.
This story gives an example of the constructive power of the sage; it shows how constructive the soul of the Mahatma is. It is not true that Mahatmas can only be found in the caves of the Himalayas and that one cannot see them in the midst of the world. They can be found anywhere; they can be found in a palace, in the midst of riches, of comfort, and in remote places. They can be in any situation, in any position. But what comes out of the Mahatmas is a continual spreading influence of construction. They are a protection against illnesses and plagues, wars and disasters. Their constructive power is working and helping people to flourish. Today man is ready to believe that a Prime Minister or a great statesman can be such a help, that he can raise up the country, put the finances of the country in good order or guard the country against other nations. But a hidden soul which is not known can have a greater influence still on the whole country. It has been known and seen by millions of people in the East at different times when divine souls lived, that their influence spread through the whole country and uplifted it.
The third aspect of sages is Paramatma, the almighty one. He is still greater; he is no longer a person, he is God-conscious. We all are that of which we are conscious. A man in prison is conscious of the prison. A person who has a lot of money in the bank and is not conscious of it, is poor in spite of his wealth. We only have that of which we are conscious. Therefore our greatness or our smallness depends upon our consciousness. Even to become an illuminated soul is only a difference of consciousness. It is not how much good a person has done. There are many good people, but they do not always know what they themselves are.
Besides there are some who believe in God and others who love God; and there are others who are lost in God. Those who believe in God, they are on earth and God is in heaven for them. Those who love God, for them God is before them; they are face to face with their Lord. And those who are lost in God have gained their real self. They are God themselves. I know of a God-conscious soul who was once walking in the city of Baroda where the rule was that no one should go about after ten o'clock at night. And this sage was wandering about unconscious of time. A policeman asked him,' Where are you going?' But he did not hear. Perhaps he was far away from the place where he was wandering. But when he heard the policeman say, 'Are you a thief?' he smiled and said, 'Yes.' The policeman took him to the police station and made him sit there all night long. In the morning the officer came and asked, 'What is the report?' This policeman said, 'I have caught one thief. I found him in the street.' When the officer went and saw this man, he knew that he was a great soul and that people respected him very much. He asked his pardon. 'But,' he said, 'when the policeman asked you that question, why did you say that you were a thief?' The answer was, 'What am I not? I am everything.'
We try to become spiritual, to raise our consciousness. But when it comes to an insult, we do not like it. As long as everybody flatters us we are glad to attribute those things to ourselves. But as soon as it comes to an insult, we do not like it; then we say, 'It is not me.' The Paramatma, the high soul, is united with God; he is God-conscious, all conscious. Everyone is his own self. Whether he is a good person or a wicked person, whether he is right or wrong, he is his own self; he looks at that person, as his own self. Even if he were given the name of a thief, he could say, 'Yes. All names are my names.'
In conclusion, spirituality is not a certain knowledge, spirituality is the expansion of consciousness. The wider the consciousness expands the greater is one's spiritual vision. And when once the consciousness expands so much that it embraces the whole universe, it is that which is called divine perfection.

The Tree of peace originated at a time of great conflict and war. Its story is one of the keys to the path of light and peace in native tradition and culture. The tree of peace is the pacifist symboloy, the peacemaker is believed to have been sent by the creator to restore love, peace and harmony back to the people and the earth ~ Aris~
"The sixth nation, the Tuscaroras, migrated into Iroquois country in the early eighteenth century. Together these peoples comprise the oldest living participatory democracy on earth. Their story, and governance truly based on the consent of the governed, contains a great deal of life-promoting intelligence for those of us not familiar with this area of American history. The original United States representative democracy, fashioned by such central authors as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, drew much inspiration from this confederacy of nations."
"We now do crown you with the sacred emblem of the deer's antlers, the emblem of your Lordship. You shall now become a mentor of the people of the Five Nations. The thickness of your skin shall be seven spans — which is to say that you shall be proof against anger, offensive actions and criticism. Your heart shall be filled with peace and good will and your mind filled with a yearning for the welfare of the people of the Confederacy. With endless patience you shall carry out your duty and your firmness shall be tempered with tenderness for your people. Neither anger nor fury shall find lodgement in your mind and all your words and actions shall be marked with calm deliberation. In all of your deliberations in the Confederate Council, in your efforts at law making, in all your official acts, self interest shall be cast into oblivion. Cast not over your shoulder behind you the warnings of the nephews and nieces should they chide you for any error or wrong you may do, but return to the way of the Great Law which is just and right. Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground — the unborn of the future Nation."

Radiant Overview
Simple Admin Interface
Built from the ground up to be as simple as possible, Radiant features an elegant administrative interface that centers around three key components: pages, snippets, and layouts.
Pages contain the meat of the content for a Web site and may use Markdown, Textile, or plain HTML. Pages are composed of multiple parts such as a body and sidebar.
Content that is used in multiple places can be stored in a snippet. Snippets are very similar to PHP includes or Rails partials.
Layouts generally contain most of the HTML for a page's design. Layouts can render pages parts in any way they choose. One layout could choose to render the body and sidebar of a page, while another layout (a print layout) could render only the body.
Flexible Site Structure
Unlike many other blogging engines Radiant allows you to arrange pages according to any hierarchy. A Weblog in Radiant can be as simple as a collection of child pages underneath a parent page.
Radius Template Language
Radiant has a special macro language (similar to HTML) called Radius which makes it easy to include content from other pages, iterate over page children, and display content conditionally. Radius tags are available in pages, snippets, and layouts.
Custom Text Filters
Radiant ships with support for Markdown and Textile, but developers can easily create text filters for any markup language such as RDoc, BBCode, or Structured Text.
Intelligent Page Caching
Radiant includes an intelligent caching mechanism which allows content to be cached for a maximum of 5 minutes. This ensures that content is always fresh and provides an optimal level of performance.
Built with Ruby on Rails
Radiant is built using Ruby on Rails. This means it's easy for developers to extend Radiant because it's built on a widely accepted (and understood) Web application development platform.
Licensed Under the MIT License
Radiant is licensed under the MIT License. This means that Radiant is free for commercial and non-profit use. It also means that you are free to modify and distribute Radiant as long as you don't remove the appropriate notices from the source code.
