KHC was also included in Ingram's August 2013 Area Wealth Management Firms ranking.
Thinking of refinancing? Here's what to consider The Kansas City Star, 02/2013 by Lucas Bucl
Stewart Koesten and Matthew Starkey were among the wealth advisors named as a Kansas City 2011 Five Star Wealth Manager by KC Business magazine in its January 2011 issue. KC Business conducted the research via survey to approximately 1 in 4 high net worth households and all identified FINRA registered representatives within the KC area. On the survey, recipients were asked to evaluate only wealth managers whom they know through personal experience and to evaluate them based upon nine criteria: customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, communication, value for fee charged, meeting of financial objectives, post-sale service, quality of recommendations and overall satisfaction. Only wealth managers with over five years of experience were included, and each wealth manager was reviewed for regulatory action, civil or client complaints.
Per KC Business: "the resulting list of 2011 FIVE STAR Wealth Managers is an elite group , representing less than 3 percent of the wealth managers in the KC area." Pg. FS-1, January 2011. For more details about the research methodology, please read below.** Note: KHC Wealth Management did not pay a fee to be included in the KC Business magazine listing. ** For the Five Star listing, the overall evaluation of a wealth manager reflects an average of all respondents and may not be representative of any one client's experience. It is not indicative of future performance. Working with a FIVE STAR wealth manager or any wealth manager is no guarantee that the selected wealth manager will be awarded this accomplishment in the future. The research process incorporates a statistically valid sample in order to identify the wealth managers in the local market that score highest overall in satisfaction.
To be eligible for the NABCAP (National Association of Board Certified Advisory Practices) Premier Advisors List, NABCAP comprehensively evaluates and validates financial advisory practices based on twenty categories. Participating practices may be published and will be compared against their peers locally, regionally, and nationally. Distinguishing characteristics of an advisory practice will include in part, though not exclusively: mass affluent or high net worth practice, team dynamics, years of experience, credentials/designations, minimum investable assets to become new client, planning philosophy, investment philosophy, risk philosophy, typical percentage of alternate investment ownership, fee/cost structure, customer service model, and U4/ADV status. The Ingram's Magazine list was compiled from data provided through questionnaires and interviews with company personnel and from reports of Assets Under Management made to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ranked by Assets Under Management as of Jan. 1, 2013.
KHC did not pay a fee to participate in any listing. The above rankings are not indicative of KHC's future performance.

Arun Shourie's "Humpty Dumpty" outburst reminded me of some stuff I had written many months back and had completely forgotten to post – The second installment of new Indian nursery rhymes. You can check out the first part here.
So I dug them out and here they are. I know they are a bit dated (they pertain to stuff that happened 6-8 months back), but what the heck, it's still better to have nursery rhymes that are drawn from India circa 2008 than Europe circa 16th century. Sing along for best results :-)…

Along with some curd and rice.
If you want a favour,
Some money you gave her,
For Miss Jaya comes at a price.

Author Notes: these tarts are a lactose free version of the little egg tarts typically found at dimsum. recipe adapted from Use Real Butter, perfect for the coming Lunar New Year —Lan | MoreStomach
Makes: 20 tarts
cup AP flour
cup whole wheat flour
tablespoons lard
tablespoons water
teaspoon salt
cup AP flour
tablespoon lard
egg yolks
cup sugar
1 1/2
cups full fat, lactose free milk
pinch salt
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- to make the water dough, mix the first 5 ingredients in a bowl. mix it until smooth, let stand for 20 minutes covered with a damn towel. roll into log and cut into 20 pieces. set aside, covered.
- to make the fat dough, mix the 6th & 7th ingredients until smooth. don't be stressed, it will be crumblier than the water dough. roll into a log and cut into 20 equal pieces, them into small balls.
- to make the pastries, first roll out the water dough piece, flatten into a disk about 3″. put a fat dough ball into the center of the disk and wrap the ball completely to make a ball. now flatten it again, rolling it out about 4″ long. fold it into thirds, turn 90 degrees and flatten/roll out again 4″ long. fold into thirds, turn and flat out, though aim for a circle/disk this time, about 4″ wide (or however big your molds are. mine were about 3″) line a mold with the pastry dough, crimp edges. do this for the rest of the dough.
- to make egg custard, use the last 4 ingredients: in a sauce pan heat up the milk very very gently. add the sugar and salt and mix until completely dissolved and incorporated. take off the heat. in a bowl with the egg yolks, very gently pour in a ladle of the warm sweet milk, all the while stirring the yolks. you don't want to scramble the yolks, add another ladle for good measure, stirring continuously. finally, add in the rest of the mixture, stirring constantly. if you want, strain through a sieve, though i'll tell you i didn't bother. set aside until ready to fill pans.
- when ready, fill the pans with the custard filling, about 3/4 of way up, don't overflow it.
- bake 30-35 minutes.
- these will keep in fridge, covered for a week, though they taste best the day made, about 20 minutes out of the oven.

"...an extraordinary broker between Europe and America, high and low, old and new, insider and outsider. // However, this role did little to advance [Alfonso] Ossorio's artistic career, for 'serious" artists are not supposed to be impresarios."
--from "Ossorio's Fortunes" by Harry Cooper
So while waiting for Mom's gums to be roto-rootered (don't ask), I read Jim Carroll's FORCED ENTRIES: THE DOWNTOWN DIARIES: 1971-1973. One of the snappiest memoir writers I've experienced, this Jim Carroll.
Anyway, he had a brilliant riff in there entitled "The Art of Using" (Pp. 31-33) which, in my non-humble view, should be required reading for all those who use appropriation/collage as part of their methods to create their art (I implicate moiself in this) -- that is, appropriation beyond the normative appropriation upon which all art relies, of course. Required reading, indeedy, which includes this excerpt:
"...the act of creating the piece and the finished work become one and the same ... the subject and object meet, as the sky and sea meet to form the line of horizon, the point of reflection."
The problem with many works of appropriation is when they mostly rely on process as the point of the work. Here's a test -- would you return to a work over and over again? As with Jim Carroll, I can return frequently to the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock and the lunch poems of Frank O'Hara. If you won't do that with a work despite how much it first interested you in your first perusal (and, indeed, EVEN interested you specifically because of its process), I think that shows a lot of about the work's power...or lack thereof.
Relatedly, recent snailmail brought an art monograph by one of the most undeservedly underrated 20th century artists, ALFONSO OSSORIO: MASTERWORKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE ROBERT U. OSSORIO FOUNDATION. Ossorio (1916-1990), an early supporter of Jackson Pollock and Jean Dubuffet, was a poet and artist whose greatest achievements resulted from his invention of montage-in-plastic technique. He called his works "congregations."
"Congregations" is an apt term as his mixed-media sculptures/paintings, while bespeaking the lushness of abstract expressionism, also speaks of "fetishes, reliquaries, and icons" -- to quote Harry Cooper, Curator of Modern Art at the Fogg Art Museum. Cooper adds, "Next to congregations, Rauschenberg's combines seem almost restrained; Ossorio's work instead calls to mind that of such obsessive semi-outsiders as Jess, Jensen, Arman, and Samaras, who continue to challenge canons of taste, whether modern or postmodern. The congregations are Ossorio's effort to bring unity to the multiplicity of his own identity by fusing a vast catalogue of found and altered objects into stunning wholes."
If you wish, you can google Ossorio to find out more about him. But I have a point to make about him, for which I need to first quote from an interview of him printed in the monograph; he says:
"I know what I am trying to do. Which is that in the first place one must change the rules of the medium as far as is necessary to express what one wants. I have been using things that are as disparate as possible. They're not the normal things of a work of art. Matter does continue to exist and have another function when you use it differently. It just doesn't disappear and die. If you want to do what [Clyfford] Still did, which is to eliminate as much as possible, you are left with the individual and his very personal suffering. Each artist has to do it in his way. I mix these things into a new homogenous and cooperative field of activity. That goes for the object, it goes for the technique you use--which is probably plastic, the obvious means today of contemporary use. It doesn't mean it can't be done with just oil and turpentine and pigment colors."
So, here's an artist who used found material to create his works, and yet came up with something very personal. Jim Carroll again: "the subject and object meet, as the sky and sea meet to form the line of horizon, the point of reflection."
And technique. If you care to research Ossorio's works, you'll see that in painting he can be masterful (check out "Beachcomber" 1953). But when you then go to his "congregations," you'll see how visually he creates something similarly lush and layered as his paintings, but by using other (found) material than traditional (historical?) paint on canvas.
And if Poetry is energy, an experience, an engagement -- do we think it can be only captured by verse? Perhaps someone who seems to be doing something OTHER than a particular art form are actually not diluting that form but making it, dare I say, purer? What exactly is purity's lineage?
Last but not least, why is Ossorio still "obscure"? Cooper answers this question with, frankly, the same answer I've heard from others. Ye who are invested in identity-pigeonholing, read this as to why a brilliant artist is ignored, and consider its implications:
"'The absence of a label for his work sets him beyond the pale, outside the hierarchy, and our elect-electors disapprove.' Those words, written in 1961 about Alfonso Ossorio by Michel Tapie (himself a great maker of labels), are as true today as they were then....Ossorio has still not received either the public or scholarly attention he deserives. It is worth asking why.
For Tapie, the reason was that Ossorio injected a scandalous degree of conscious control 'both in message and structure' into the heart of abstract expressionism, a movement that reveled in the unconscious. Another factor may have been Ossorio's nationality, which was no easier to pinpoint than his art. Born in 1916 in Manila of Spanish-Chinese-Filipino descent, Ossorio was sent to boarding schools in England and the U.S., attended Harvard (1934-38), and lived in six different states, Paris and the Philippines before settling in the U.S. in 1952 'with all the passion of a convert.' And unlike the immigrant artist who sensed that an American identity would be helpful in the postwar era and that old-world trapping should therefore be shed, Ossorio neither changed his name nor hid his deep knowledge of art, which stretched across eras and borders, from Southeast Asia through Europe and England to the U.S. and Mexico. Finally, Ossorio was both independently wealthy and openly gay, two more strikes against him in a society that still believed in the myth of the macho creator."
Elsewhere in FORCED ENTRIES (I say elsewhere cause I can't be bothered to go looking it up and citing page numbers for chrissakes I'm blogging and it's past midnight), Jim Carroll says something about how "chance" methodology actually can be cowardly. I get that. Totally get that. And I speak as one who consciously revels in chance methodologies.
But then again, I don't believe in coincidences. I believe in synchronicity(ies).

Marshall contracts for custodial service
MARSHALL — Marshall Public Schools expects to save $1.1 million over three years after signing a contract with Grand Rapids Building Services for custodial work, according to The Battle Creek Enquirer.
For $10 a week, an employee may buy an individual insurance plan through the company. Also, hourly pay rates from GRBS will only be a dollar less than what the district currently pays.
"It's been tested in dozens of schools in dozens of states. It's growing each year because it works," board Treasurer Dan Stulberg told the Battle Creek Enquirer.
The district was also able to sell $10,750 in equipment that GRBS did not need to perform its duties, according to the Marshall Chronicle.

Iphone Warning
6 RepliesJump to last post
As heard on the radio: Apple's Iphone has one costly flaw in its design. Costly for its owner, but extremely profitable for Apple:
You can't replace the battery yourself. It's soldered inside the phone and can only be replaced by Apple. (Which requires you shipping it to Apple, of course.) I believe the quoted price for battery replacement was $89. I also heard that, while your phone is being fixed, you can rent another Iphone from Apple. Rental cost is $29.
So what. The ipod has a battery soldered into the case too. Most of the ipods are seeing about 3 years of service before needing to be replaced. With the evolution of technololgy, in three years the thing will mostly be obsolete anyway.
Apple decided to solder because the regular connections tend to lose contact over time and that triggers the phone to glitch on and off.
Besides, the $89 price is very low to have them open the case, put in a new one (which would cost your WAY more than $89), and then ship it back.
Nothing to see here, move along.
I just ponied up for a pocket PCwith a slide-out keyboard and I love it. I'm not sure how the I-phone compares as I've stayed away from Apple since my notebook and desktop PCs are windows-based. I've yet to find anything of significance that this phone/PDA won't do. I can surf the web, retrieve (and respond to) email, use instant messenger, take pictures, listen to music, play games, run the entire Office suite...Outlook, Word, Excel and Powerpoint, use it as a GPS, and who knows what else. I'm debating as to whether I even need to take my notebook on the road anymore, although I'm told I can hook the pocket PC to my notebook and surf the web from anywhere I can get a signal.
I used to wonder what all the hoopla about the Blackberry was for...I guess now I know...

What is wrong with these people? As Anderson Cooper says, it's really best not to give our attention to the lunatic fringe, but when tenured university professors deny that the Newtown school massacre happened it's hard to stay silent in the face of such amazing stupidity, especially when you know full well that the Internet echo chamber (not to mention certain radio shows) will amplify his words many times over. The video report from Cooper is below, and should you wish to review Tracy's reaction you can find it here.
Anderson Cooper
John Ventre, director of the Mutual UFO Network, also called MUFON, appeared on "Anderson" to discuss the high number of documented UFO sightings in North America, and said the government is definitely involved.
Reverend Bob Larson claims to have exorcised more than 15,000 demons around the world in his career. Watch Anderson Cooper talk to his daughters, who have taken up their father's trade.
17-year-old Tess first performed an exorcism a friend who was possessed. She says that one of the tell-tale signs is eyes that dilate: 'You can see evil.' Brynne's first exorcism was at age 13: 'I got up on stage in front of 3,000 people and cast a demon out in Africa.' This and all the other tips teens need to know about demonology:
Is Anderson Cooper right? Should interns be paid if they are doing menial jobs?

23/06/2010 - Speech of Dr. Karan Singh, President of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), at ITA Conference
International Transpersonal Conference
23 Jun 2010
Inaugural Address by
Dr Karan Singh, India
First ITA President Stan Grof,
Current ITA President Harris Freidman,
Office-bearers and
Members of the International Transpersonal Society,
delegates to this significant Conference from around the world, representatives of the Press and electronic media.
Namaste, Zdrastvuite, Good Afternoon
We live in an age of tremendous turmoil and transition with the old collapsing and the new struggling to be born, and we find ourselves precariously poised between a disappearing past and an indeterminate future. The advances of science and technology have been truly extra-ordinary including breaking of the space barrier by Yuri Gagarin, Space Travel, instant communications, and unravelling, the human genome, the large Hadron Collider, the Internet and the world-wide web, which have transformed the texture of our lives in our very lifetimes. The inexorable pace of change appears to accelerate as we hurtle into the global society astride the irreversible arrow of time, and the crisis faced by humanity is also deepening.
The 20th century saw the end of Colonialism, Fascism, Marxism-Leninism and also heralded the collapse of unrestricted Capitalism, and Globalization has emerged as the new watchword. But while globalization has certainly brought tremendous benefits in many fields including trade, commerce, tourism and international cultural exchanges, it also has its darker side. Pandemics, the abominable practice of human trafficking, arms smuggling, drug trafficking, and terrorism have assumed global dimensions. Clearly, if humanity is to survive in a global society that is sane, secure and sustainable, the present hyper-consumerist, ultra-promiscuous and super-materialistic lifestyle will have to yield way to a more holistic paradigm in which spirituality plays a pivotal role. I would like here to refer to the Earth Charter which was released in 2000 a.d. It is, to my mind, the most comprehensive articulation of ecological, social, interfaith and life-affirming values ever attempted, and I would urge that it should be revisited at the website
Our present societal milieu impels us to reflect deeply on how the entire concept of spirituality needs to be rearticulated in the light of the paradigms of the emerging global society. In this exercise, the first point is the relationship between spirituality and the world's great religions. Until recently both were considered to be closely inter-connected, one flowing from the other, but of late there is a growing view that religion, in fact, can sometimes have negative and exclusivist connotations, whereas spirituality transcends barriers of race and religion, sex and sexual preference, language and nationality, and is, therefore, best suited for the emerging global society. In my view what we need is not a wholesale rejection of religion but a reassertion of certain universal precepts that will enable us to cope with the challenges and hazards of globalization. Many of them are to be found in humanity's great religious traditions, but they need to be rediscovered, renewed and reaffirmed in the contemporary context - spirituality – vertical; religiously – horizontal. I will attempt to do so from the viewpoint of the world's most ancient continuing religion, Hinduism, and from India, the mother of spirituality.
The first such precept, and perhaps the most fundamental, is to accept that there are multiple paths to the divine. As the Rig Veda says "Ekam sad viprah bahudha vadanti" – "the Truth is one; the wise call it by many names". It is prima facie the height of hubris to claim that any one religion alone holds the monopoly of Truth. Had this been the divine will, we would not have had more than a dozen major religions with hundreds of sects flourishing on the planet. Who are we, denizens of a tiny speck of dust in the infinite universe around us, to claim that the divine can appear only in this form, in this place and at this time? Steven Hawking, probably the greatest living scientist, has said that there are at least a hundred billion galaxies in the universe each containing tens of millions of stars with their own planetary systems. If that be so, then how can we know in what form and in what circumstances the illimitable divine has manifested itself elsewhere in the universe, and what levels of consciousness may have developed on other worlds.
In the Hindu tradition the universe itself is conceptualised as a manifestation of the divine, and Shiva Nataraja as the supreme creator whose eternal cosmic dance to celestial rhythms brings billions of galaxies into being, whose hands hold the promise of individual salvation, and in whose conflagration ultimately all manifestation perishes in the endless cycles of Time. Be that as it may, my point is that it is unacceptable for any one religion to claim a monopoly of Truth. I may proclaim that my religion is best, but that gives me no right to do violence to other religions, far less to attack and kill fellow human beings in the name of religion. The irony is that each religion considers its version of the divine to be benevolent and compassionate. I worship Lord Shiva, who is defined as Karunavataram, the embodiment of compassion; Muslims begin their prayer with – Bismillahir Rahman ir Rahim – Lord, the merciful, the beneficent. Christians believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, mounted the Cross to atone for the sins of humanity; but despite these beliefs, the history of mankind from its very dawn has been scarred with inter-religious conflicts that to this day cause distress and devastation around the world. Let us be clear, until there is harmony and understanding between religions there will never be peace on earth.
The Interfaith movement, with which I have been closely involved for several decades, has been working towards bringing about this harmony. Beginning in 1893 with the first Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago and coming down to the fifth Parliament in Melbourne last year, there has been over a century of Interfaith activity around the world. I recall that here in Moscow we gathered in 1990 to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the advent of Christianity in this country, and there was an impressive Interfaith gathering in the Kremlin which was attended, among others, by Mikhail Gorbachev. Despite all these meetings, however, the Interfaith movement seems to remain peripheral to human consciousness and this needs deep thought and effective action from a gathering such as this. If we are to usher in a new spirituality, its underpinning has to be the acceptance of the profound percept of multiple paths to the divine. We must also acknowledge that there may be millions who do not profess any religious belief at all or at least rebel against any denominational or exclusivist doctrine.
The second precept, which is particularly appropriate in the global society, is that of the world as a family – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – enunciated many thousands of years ago in India. It is only now with the astounding breakthroughs in science and technology that this has come within the realm of possibility. Instant communication has literally knit the world into a global community, and the Internet has opened the gateways to human interaction transcending all barriers of space and time. However, here again we are up against a major problem. The Westphalian concept of fully sovereign nation-states may have served a useful purpose in the evolution of human society over a period of time but now when we are striving to move forward towards a seamlessly knit global society this very concept seems to have become a hindrance. Even after the end of the cold war, there have been dozens of localized conflicts, which have cleaned millions of lives and made refugees of many more millions around the world.
In fact the nation-states are now being transcended by regional associations, notably the European Union and the ASEAN, and in such collectives the states, while retaining their individuality, have synergized their strengths and built upon their limitations to bring into being more cohesive and effective communities. In my view this is a positive path that opens new vistas with rich possibilities that nations need to seriously explore. Instead of two hundred or so nation states, we should move into a situation with about a dozen regional clusters, and those, in turn, could then develop into what has been eloquently described by the poet as "the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World". The United Nations as at present constituted is frozen in a time warp and has remained inflexible for more than six decades. As a result, with the Security Council's permanent members representing well under half of the world's population, it is incapable of articulating the aspirations of a large segment of people and reflecting the vastly changed political situation since 1945.
Let it also be remembered, the "world as a family" is not the same thing as the 'world as a market'. The family is a supportive and humanising social entity, whereas the market is often manipulative and exploitative in nature. If we really aspire for a sustainable world order we will have to reorganize the global economy in a way that uplifts the one-third of the world's population living below the poverty line to a way of life where they receive at least the minimum inputs necessary for a decent human existence. I have based my vision of new spirituality on these three precepts – the essential harmony of religions, the world as a family and the imperative of eradicating poverty because, in my view, without addressing these complex issues any discourse on spirituality becomes an empty exercise. One of our great savants, Swami Vivekananda, used to say that preaching spirituality to someone who is starving is insulting him, feed him first and then give him your religion.
Accepting the premise of the 'world as a family' also involves a radical shift in our attitude towards nurturing the planet. I had the privilege of being a member of the Indian delegation to the first UN Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1972. Since then there has been an exponential increase both in public awareness regarding the hazards of environmental pollution as also in the pollution itself particularly the carbon emissions, climate change and the rising of oceans. In the Hindu view, we look upon the human race as part of nature, by no means enjoying dominion of the right to exploit and destroy the natural environment. The 63 verses of the Hymn to the Earth in the Atharva Veda several thousand years ago have an extra-ordinary articulation of ecological values, and clearly portray the reverence in which the Earth was held in those times, and which we have now to rediscover. I will quote only five these verses:
"Earth, in which lie the sea, the river and other waters,
in which food and cornfields have come to be,
in which live all that breathes and that moves,
May she confer on us the finest of her yield.
Earth, in which the waters, common to all,
moving on all sides, flow unfailing, day and night,
may she pour on us milk in many streams,
and endow us with luster.
Pleasant be Thy hills, O Earth,
Thy snow-clad mountains and Thy woods!
on Earth – brown, black, ruddy and multi-coloured.
The firm Earth protected by Indra,
on this Earth I stand, unvanquished, unslain and unhurt.
May Earth with people who speak various tongues,
and those who have various religious rites
according to their places of abode,
pour for me treasure in a thousand streams
Like a constant cow that never fails.
Whatever I dig from the Earth,
may that have quick growth again.
O purifier, May we not injure Thy vitals or Thy heart."
It is Planet Earth, known as 'Gaia' in the Greek tradition and 'Bhawani Vasundhara' in the Hindu, that has nurtured consciousness up from the slime of the primeval ocean to where we are today. Will we convert it into a burnt out cinder circling the sun unto eternity, or will we develop the wisdom and compassion even at this late hour, to save it from destruction. Any talk of spirituality, clearly has to include a renewed reverence for the Earth, and the creatures that inhabit it, whether it is the highly endangered tigers in Asia, or the magnificent whales in the Pacific. In 1986 a meeting was held in the Great Cathedral of St Francis of Assisi in which representatives from various religions prepared 'Declarations on Man and Nature'. I had the privilege of writing the Hindu Declaration. Reading those documents one is struck by the commonality of views between the various religions regarding Earth and the natural environment. Unfortunately, in our zeal for unplanned and reckless development we have inflicted serious damage upon the Earth in the last century, and unless there is a drastic reordering of our priorities this will continue to escalate in the years and decades ahead. The horrific oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that will cause calamitous damage to human, ocean and plant life, is a dramatic example of how our obsessive search for oil has ended up grievously wounding the planet. This is far removed from the spirituality we seek in the global society.
We must now define what spirituality actually is. My definition would be that it is the attempt to access the deepest and highest power, whether we call it God, the Atman, the Buddha Nature or by any other name, and whether we consider it to be within our deeper selves or outside of us. This yearning for unity with the divine is the essential feature of spirituality. In a beautiful poem Francis Thompson has the following lines:
'Not where the wheeling systems darken,
And our benumbed conceiving soars!
The drift of pinions, would we hearken,
Beats at our own clay-shuttered doors
The angels keep there ancient places,
Turn but a stone and start a wing,
'Tis ye, 'tis your estranged faces,
That miss the many-splendoured thing.'
It is the quest for "the many-splendoured thing" that represents the essence of spirituality, what the Bible calls 'the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world'; what the Sufi's call 'the Noor-i-Ruhani', what the Buddhists call 'the Bodhi-Chitta', what the Hindu seer means when he exclaims 'I have seen that Great Being shining like a thousand suns beyond the darkness'. In every religious tradition there is this transcendent and luminous dimension of spirituality, the belief that each human being embodies a spark of the divine, and that fanning it into the shining fire of spiritual realization is the highest meaning and purpose of our lives.
In the Hindu tradition there are four major paths to bring about this union or 'Yoga', a word that comes from the same root as the English word 'yoke' and implies the ways of relating the divine within us with the all-pervasive divine without; God immanent with God transcendent, which inevitably involves altered levels of consciousness. These four great highways, of course, have hundreds of subsidiary paths and practices.
The first is what we call the Jnana Yoga or the way of Wisdom. This is based largely on the teachings of the Upanishads and, in the West, would be somewhat akin to the Platonic dialogues, the effort to cleanse and control the fluctuating mind so that it is able to discriminate between the eternal and the ephemeral. The second path is known as the Bhakti Yoga, the way of Devotion. While the Jnana Yoga does not necessarily need an anthropomorphic form, in the Bhakti Yoga, which involves an overwhelming emotional relationship with the divine, such a form is considered necessary, whether that is Jesus Christ, or Lord Shiva or a Bodhisattva or any other. In this category come great saints who have literally fallen in love with the divine. India has had numerous such saints and, in the West, there have been people like St Francis of Assisi, St Theresa of Avilla and St John of the Cross. In Islam there are the glorious compositions, the Masnavi, of Mewlana Jalal-ad-Din Rumi which he poured out in devotion to his spiritual guide, Shams-e-Tabrizi.
If the Jnana Yoga is the way of clarifying the mind and Bhakti Yoga the way of the heart, the third major path is called Karma Yoga, the way of dedicated works. It is a powerful means of spiritual growth as it involves dedication of whatever we do to our chosen form of the divine. Work done with this attitude of mind brings us closer to our goal of Yoga. This is the path of good works epitomized by Martha in the Bible, by Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity, the Ramakrishna Mission and other institutions dedicated to serving the poor, the needy and those in pain. However, it must be remembered that in the Karma Yoga, these tasks must be undertaken in a spirit of devotion and dedication to the divine, and not only for 'doing good'. The fourth path is the Raja Yoga, the royal path, and this involves the understanding of hidden powers within the human body that can be accessed through the process of Hatha Yoga, which includes various physical and breathing exercises that, in the West, are generally referred to as "Yoga". It is believed that we can attain higher levels of consciousness with this type of Yoga that brings us closer to the divine. The teachings of Hermes Trimajestus, Meister Eckhart and other great mystics are of great value in this context, as they point to the possibility of transformation of consciousness, as are the teachings of C.G. Jung leading finally to what Christians call the 'beatific vision', the Buddhists Nirvana and the Hindus atma-darshan.
I would like to dwell for a moment on Raja Yoga and its implications for the transmutation of consciousness. In the Hindu tradition it is believed that there is a spiritual energy called the Kundalini which resides coiled up like a serpent at the base of the spine. Under certain circumstance and special breathing and other exercises, this power can be aroused so that it moves up the spine, and as it does so it energises seven chakras or plexuses from the base of the spine right up to the brain. The awakening of these chakras involves attaining new levels of consciousness, until finally the power floods into the brain thereby leading the practitioner to the bliss of illumination. This whole process based upon Patanjali's classical Yoga-sutras has been widely expanded in many significant texts down to the present day.
The basic premise here is the same as the Keynote of this Conference, which is the Consciousness Revolution. Practicing Kundalini Yoga of course involves certain essential preliminary disciplines without which the whole procedure is dangerous and could have negative reactions. In recent times, there have been several consciousness altering procedures including drugs. Those who have taken LSD report encountering the most astounding dimensions of consciousness which are far beyond our normal mind. It is, therefore, clear that consciousness is not a static concept, it varies from species to species, from person to person and within each individual from time to time.
The great evolutionary philosopher Sri Aurobindo has pointed out that there is no good reason to believe that evolution has concluded with the advent of normal human consciousness. He asserts that in the same way as life evolved from mineral, vegetable, animal into human dimensions, the evolutionary process is bound to continue into the future. Man, in this view, is an intermediate creature, somewhere between the animal and the divine, a 'work in progress' which needs careful attention. He holds that with the advent of Man, for the first time there is a species on earth which is conscious of itself, and therefore has the unique opportunity to cooperate with the forces of evolution and telescope what would otherwise take millions of years into a much shorter time span. He postulates many different levels of consciousness above the human, he speaks of the Overmind and then the Supermind, and his yoga revolves around an attempt to bring these forces down and fix them in the earth consciousness.
The core of the Transpersonal Psychology movement has revolved around consciousness research. It is a matter of great pleasure that my good friend Dr Stanislav Grof, who can justly be called the father of Transpersonal Psychology, is attending this conference along with his wife and collaborator Christina. Consciousness research, mapping the brain, studying the mind-body relationship, drawing upon rich material that comes to us in our dreams are all means that help us in reaching a deeper understanding of our spiritual quest and represent the cutting edge of science, philosophy and psychology. I have had the pleasure of attending several International Transpersonal Conferences – in Mumbai, Davos, Prague and Kyoto. In each one there was a lively and creative dialogue between practitioners as well as laity, between veterans like Stan and novices like me, between scholars and gurus from around the world.
It is indeed fitting that this Conference is being held in Russia after the collapse of the restrictive and atheistic regime that ruled it for seventy years. Let me take you back half a century. In 1961 my wife, who regretfully passed away just a year ago, and I visited the then Soviet Union as guests of Nikita Khrushchev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In the course of a small dinner he gave for us in the Kremlin I asked him whether it was possible to be a believer and also a member of the CPSU. He replied in the negative. He said that while they respected religious beliefs, to be a member of the CPSU it was necessary to be an atheist, as that was a cardinal principle of Marxism-Leninism. It is indeed amazing that, despite three generations under an atheistic regime, when Russia celebrated the thousandth anniversary of Christianity there was a remarkable outpouring of religious fervour.
Another example of this phenomenon was Mongolia. The Marxist regime there broke the Buddhist temples, burnt the scriptures, killed and tortured their monks. Yet as soon as that regime was overthrown there was an incredible craving for Buddhism. The Indian Ambassador to Mongolia was Kushok Bakula, the venerated Head Lama of Ladakh. He almost single-handedly re-established Buddhism there. I was witness to this when I visited Ulan Bator to inaugurate a school for Buddhist priests that he had established. These examples show how deep-rooted the religious impulse is. However, there is a real danger of the pendulum swinging too far towards the other side, towards fanaticism, fundamentalism and violence. What we need, therefore, and what spirituality can provide, is an approach that incorporates the best of our religious traditions without falling into the trap of dogmatism and exclusivist posturing.
Mahatma Gandhi who was deeply influenced, among others, by the great author Leo Tolstoy, preached throughout his life the path of non-violence, love and compassion. When followed to their logical conclusion, these clearly represent a transformation of consciousness. Gandhiji's thought not only enthused millions of people in India in their struggle for freedom, but also had worldwide ramifications as with Nelson Mandela in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and Martin Luther King, Jr with the civil rights movement in the United States. Gandhi's famous saying "an eye for an eye will make everyone blind", and "there is enough for everyone's need, but not enough for anyone's greed", have profound implications for the global society which is emerging before our very eyes. Representing practical spirituality at its best, Gandhi remains an iconic figure for lovers of peace around the world. In this hour of crisis, humanity would be well advised to take heed of the wisdom represented by a frail man in a loin cloth whose conviction and faith shook the world, and who finally fell to an assassin's bullet.
International terrorism in the name of religion is one of the most tragic developments of recent times. Whatever may be the provocations and historic grievances, of which there are many, recourse to violence targeting innocent men, women and children, as in terrorist attacks around the world from 9/11 in New York to 26/11 in Mumbai, are totally unacceptable and have been condemned widely by religious leaders. One of the main challenges that the new spirituality will have to face boldly is the growing nexus between criminal elements around the world, including those based upon religious fundamentalism and fanaticism. These represent the antithesis of spirituality, the 'shadow' as Jung would have it, which is being thrown by the glitter and glory of our technological civilization. The integration of the shadow is one of the most important challenges in post-Jungian psychology, and this is a matter upon which a gathering like this will have to ponder seriously.
Transpersonal Psychology provides an excellent methodology for steering our minds through the Scylla of nihilism and the Charybdis of fanaticism. It calls upon us to shed our prejudices and open ourselves to higher aspirations and powers. It is my sincere hope that this significant Conference which has brought together so many distinguished psychologists, scientists and scholars from around the world, will provide a fresh impetus to the Transpersonal Psychology movement and at the same time help in bridging religious and cultural differences between the great civilizations of the human race. Humanity has to break out of the dark valleys of conflicts in the name of religion and strive towards the sun-lit uplands of a new spirituality, a new paradigm of mutual understanding, wisdom and compassion that will help us to build a refulgent global society.
I am profoundly impressed by the breadth and depth of the problem that our Russian hosts have meticulously organized for us here. It is a veritable feast of intellectual, psychological and spiritual thought, in which outstanding thinkers and practitioners from around the world will surely produce a unique synergy for which I must warmly congratulate Vladimir Maykov and his team who have laboured for months to create this great event. I consider it a privilege to have been asked to inaugurate this important gathering, and I do so with an ancient Sanskrit verse that exhorts us to work together, to think together, to achieve together and to eliminate every shred of hatred that may exist between us:
"Sahanawavatu sahanau bhunaktu sahaviryam karawavahai, tejaswina vadhitamastu ma vidvishawahai. Aum Shantih Shantih Shantih".

Girl, Stop or Style to Steal: Would You Wear Rocsi's Sheer Dress?
I love collecting pictures of fashionistas and fashion misfits! It lets me know what pieces to buy and what to stay away from. Far, far away from.
So Rocsi, you know, from 106 & Park, showed up to an event for the film Tower Heist in NYC yesterday dressed in this long, sheer number. The event seemed to be kind of late evening, so I guess you could say this outfit is "appropriate." It has a long slit on one side, long sleeves, and what looks like a banded area around the midsection. Rocsi wore black pumps with the get up, and kept the hair dramatically long with some romantic curls. The makeup is looking bronze-y and fun. It's only with an outfit like this that we have to reference someone's draws (*sigh*). It looks like she went for the strapless bra and some cheeky underwear, and yes, they are black too.
I'm not hating on the outfit like that, but there's something about it that just too dark for me. I don't know what color, or if there actually is anything you can put with this to make it look better, but it needs something to pop! It's not as scandalous of a 'fit to me as it is just straight up dull. Maybe Amber Rose could have pulled something like this off, but not Rocsi. She's just too small and mousy-looking in it; like a little girl playing in her mother's drab nightgown. All black everything? Uh, no thanks.
What do you think?

Don't worry if you don't have time in the morning to make these incredible cinnamon rolls, just make them the night before and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning just pop them into the preheated oven and bake.
They also freeze well so you can have indulgent pumpkin cinnamon rolls whenever the craving hits. 🙂 Packed with pumpkin, a mixture of warm spices and topped with a rich cream cheese icing, these cinnamon rolls are destined to become a favorite during the holidays at your house!
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing
Packed with pumpkin, a mixture of warm spices and topped with a rich cream cheese icing, these cinnamon rolls are destined to become a favorite during the holidays at your house!
Yield: 15 cinnamon rolls
For the Cinnamon Rolls:
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm milk (110 degrees F)
1 large egg, room temperate
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon melted butter
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
For the Filling:
2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 stick butter, softened
For the Icing:
1 (6 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. When oven reaches 200 degrees, shut off.
In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the water and sugar; add yeast and let rest 10 minutes until foamy.
Add milk, egg, pumpkin, butter, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and cardamom to the yeast mixture and mix with the dough hook on medium-low until thoroughly combined, about 5 minutes
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in warm oven. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
To make the filling, in a small bowl combine sugars, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside. Line 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over pan edges. Butter the parchment.
Roll dough into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Spread dough softened butter, leaving a 1/4" margin at the long side of dough. Sprinkle evenly with filling mixture. Use the rolling pin to roll over the filling mixture a few times. Roll up the dough tightly, under-tucking after each completed rollover (it stretch to about 20" long as you roll). Cut into 15 rolls. Place rolls into prepared 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
While the rolls are baking, make the frosting by beating together cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Once finished baking flip the pan over to allow all of the cinnamon drippings to recoat the rolls, let sit 1-2 minutes. Turn rolls back over and spread with half of the frosting, let sit 2-3 minutes and then spread with remaining frosting.
Recipe Notes:
After shaping the rolls and placing them in the greased pan, they can rest, covered, in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, place them into the preheated oven and bake.
Unbaked rolls also freeze well. The night before you want to bake them, place the pan in the refrigerator. While the oven is preheating, place the covered pan on the counter then place in preheated oven and bake.

Pumpkin, cinnamon, and cream cheese! And I can have this for breakfast? I'm sold!
Hi! I LOVE your blog! Someday I want to write and tell how I found you:) But I'm busy cooking for Thanksgiving right now, and I wonder about freezing these cinnamon rolls. I assume I can make them, and then freeze them individually before they rise, and then let them rise overnight after taking them out of the freezer? your thoughts please?:) thanks again for such a fun, taste-worthy blog I can count on!!!! Happy turkey day!
These cinnamon rolls freeze very well. You can freeze them right after shaping them. The night before you want to bake them place the pan in the refrigerator to thaw. Then the next day while the oven is preheating, place the covered pan on the counter then place in preheated oven and bake as directed. Good luck with your Thanksgiving cooking…I am doing the same! Let me know how the cinnamon rolls turn out for you. 🙂

I made these last night/this morning at the first sign of chill in the air here in Austin. The only addition I made was that I added a little pumpkin puree to the butter that I spread on the dough. They are so good! Thanks for posting the recipe!
Yea!!! So happy to hear that you enjoyed them! I will have to try adding come puree to the butter mixture next time I make these. Sounds incredible! 🙂
WOW are these good! I doubled the batch and made them fairly large sized – got 24 rolls. Its a good thing I put some in the freezer or they would ALL be gone.
I would not mind having these for Thanksgiving breakfast, lunch, snack… yum!!
