Mary Mother of Jesus: life details

Is the Vatican responsible for the Koran (Quran), the sacred texts of Islam? Did they create these texts or have them compiled, another psyop to control yet another group of people? It is odd that the only woman mentioned by name is Mary (Miriam, Maria), the mother of the prophet, St. Issa (Jesus).

Nat'l Hispanic Heritage Month begins

You call yourself a Latina, gringa? - D*mn right I do. Soy mestiza ("I'm blended").

John Leguizamo on The Daily Show talks about the plight of Latin representation.

National Hispanic Heritage Month (Spanish Mes nacional de la herencia hispana) is an annual celebration from September 15 to October 15 in the United States.

It is for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States [1, 2].

History

Isn't it Latinx? Hispanic is good enough

National Hispanic Heritage Week was established by legislation sponsored by Rep. George Brown Jr. of Los Angeles and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968 [3, 4, 5], taking place on the week including both September 15 and 16 [6].

In 1988, the commemorative week was expanded to a month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15) by legislation sponsored by Rep. Esteban Torres (D–CA), amended by Senator Paul Simon, and signed into law by Pres. Ronald Reagan [3].

September 15th was chosen as the starting point for the commemoration because it is the anniversary of the Cry of Dolores (early morning, September 16, 1810), which marked the start of the Mexican War of Independence that resulted (1821) in independence for the New Spain Colony (now Mexico and the Central American nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua), which became the Federal Republic of Central America.

Latinos from Latin America are the most diverse race or raza (category) in the world.

.

This 30-day period also includes many dates of importance in the Hispanic community.

• Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua celebrate their anniversary of independence on September 15;
• Mexico commemorates its independence on September 16;
• Chile commemorates its independence on September 18; and
• the celebration Columbus Day or Día de la Raza [7].

Genetic diversity produces the greatest beauty.

Hispanic Heritage Week was first proclaimed by Pres. Johnson in 1968 in Presidential Proclamation 3869 [8].

Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan gave annual proclamations for Hispanic Heritage Week between 1969 and 1988.

National Hispanic Heritage Month was first proclaimed by Pres. George H. W. Bush on September 14, 1989 in Presidential Proclamation 6021 [9].

Since 1989, all American presidents have given a Presidential Proclamation to mark Hispanic Heritage Month [10]. More: National Hispanic Heritage Month (United States)

Meditation is RISKY: Willoughby Britton

Willoughby Britton, Scott Carney, 1/4/24; Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

What if something happens on the inside? Shouldn't we all play it safe and just stay ignorant?

Why do so many meditators want to kill this neuroscientist?

(Scott Carney) Scott Carney Investigates: When Brown University Prof. Willoughby Britton set out to study the potential negative side effects of meditation, she never expected that the [super peaceful Buddhist] community would want to hound her out of her job.

I'm an academic. Let me have some freedom.

But that's what happened after her study on the "Varieties of Contemplative Experience" came out and she documented how one out of every ten people who start meditating have a clinically significant negative side effect.

Now she has a folder with 5,000 threats from people all around the world who want to stop her from reporting the truth.

Were Neanderthals white or brown? (video)

History with Kayleigh, 4/9/23; Amber Larson, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Oh yeah, Baby! Flex those biceps, triceps! Work those gams. Show me some teeth, Nee'Andy!

.

Were Neanderthals white?

(History with Kayleigh) NEANDERTHAL MUSEUM We know that Neanderthal DNA has influenced the modern human (Homo sapien sapiens) genome in quite a few ways.

I think of myself as a Nordic Anglo-Saxon beauty

But did Neanderthal's DNA influence our skin tone and hair color? Why are prehistoric Neanderthals around Europe so often depicted with pale skin and stereotypical Caucasian features? How accurate is the scientific racism or artistic license of these textbook depictions?

We're more wolf and bear than human, and we don't know to come in out of the snow to caves.

Science of Eye Color: Blue-Eyed Buddha

TWF; Neil, facty.com, 3/28/22; Amber Larson and Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Buddha was Central Asian, a Scythian/Iranian (Aryan) from Gandhara/Afghanistan (RS)

.

The Buddha, a Scythian, had blue eyes and gold skin

Eye color has fascinated people throughout herstory. Myths and legends grew up around the rarer colors gracing the "windows to the soul."

Superstitions embedded in folklore -- such as the link between eye color and certain [psychic] abilities and personality traits -- survive into modern times [like envious green eyes on temperamental redheads], even though we now think that genetics determines eye color.

Science: ALL eyes are actually brown.

Scientific advancement has revealed that the genetics behind eye color are more complex than researchers first believed.

Eye color was once thought of as a basic Mendelian inheritance trait determined by one set of genes with dominant and recessive alleles.

• allaboutvision.com
• Eye color is a wide spectrum
• If you think you have blue eyes, they're actually brown and you just don't realize it
• 
  [The Buddha (formerly the Scythian Prince Siddhartha Gautama) had the "32 Marks of a Great Man," including the mark of a Dharma wheels on the soles of his feet, long digits, a lion-like torso, sensitive taste buds, evenly spaced white teeth, a very long tongue, long arms that reach his knees, very blue eyes (like ocean sapphire), and a sheath over his sexual organs (S.A. Mattice, 2021). The 29th mark is abhi-nīla-netto, "very blue eyes, like sapphire, eyes deep blue" (R.B. Epstein, 2012). Prince Siddhartha, who became the Buddha (the "Awakened One") at the age of 35, also had the 80 secondary characteristics.]

Eye color is an illusion of scattering light in the iris? (Farbverlauf Augenfarben/Wikipedia)

Not all ET hybridizations go well.

More recent research discovered that eye color does not follow classical inheritance patterns (nature.com):

Approximately 16 genes determine eye color, and genes are influenced by incomplete dominance and epistasis.

"Epistasis" means that a gene is affected by the expression of one or more additional (modifier) genes. In brief, eye color depends on many different genes and their effects on one another.

Redheads, though rare, are plentiful in media.

• But I have BLUE eyes! - No, you don't: The appearance of blue, green, and hazel eyes results from the Tyndall scattering of light in the stroma, a phenomenon similar to Rayleigh scattering, which accounts for the false blue color of the sky [5]. Neither blue nor green pigments are present in the human iris or vitreous humour. It's an illusion. More

Blue is the rarest color. Ancients used Afghan lapis lazuli for eyes from the Buddha's country.

All eyes are brown, even the ones that appear blue, green, and gray: Science (CNN)

Every eye has a unique iris pattern that can be photographed and examined for health.

Meeks & Green: Eye color made all the difference for Black felon, Jewish billionairess, babies.

.

Most beautiful man in the world: Jeremy Meeks

Human eye colors vary widely, with shades of brown, amber (yellowish), blue, gray, hazel, and green.

Cells called melanocytes in the iris (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) contain melanin pigment in their cytoplasm.

Eyes of any color contain the same number of melanocytes. Variations in the amount, distribution, and type of melanin pigments within melanocytes account for different colors. More

Future Buddha Maitreya will be Central Asian king

• Why everyone has brown eyes, even if they appear blue

What does Heavy Metal manifest? (music)

Some boys just never grow up, like Hank and his pack of hoodlums (King of the Hill)

I want magic powers. - Shut up, Charles Brown.

Answer: More of the same? A better feeling state to continue on to healing (from despair to anger)? Why would anyone play this music? Hey, we're not all lotus buds and rosewood malas around here. Let's explore the flipside of manifestation. Do we sometimes attract exactly what we don't want more of?

• Boost Your Spiritual Energy - Free Masterclass | Mindvalley

There are spiritual dark dimensions. There must be. Dimmu Borgir says so. There are other routes traveled by the angry -- those frustrated in their desires. They didn't get what they want, or got exactly what they didn't want, and are now complaining bitterly about it, usually in another world, another dimension. But these fine boys are here in this mostly pleasant dimension, and listen to them wail. Are they kidding? Putting up a front of toughness for the other boys to see, to gain what they want, fame and/or notoriety? Who can say, who can say? Das kapital, and das rock 'n roll.

Here you go, Chucky!

We spin in rounds of greed, hatred, and delusion (attraction, aversion, and confusion). This is samsara, the endless round of suffering and rebirth. But there is a way to transcend it, to abandon our habits of attraction, revulsion, and confusion when we meet with the pleasant, unpleasant, and (boring) neutral.

Let's listen in on their said tales (lyrics) of woe. What has it gotten them? Well, for one thing a concert at the Art Colony in Pomona (featuring Carnifex, Spite, Let Them Suffer, and Crown Magnetstar), at a venue known as The Glass House. Don't throw stones, guys.

LYRICS: "Die Without Hope" by Carnifex

I have never felt so f*cking numb/ In front of the mirror with a loaded gun/ Every word you read is stained in blood/ This gets sick cause I'm mind-f*cked/ I've died and my body turned to rust/ An empty carcass left to rot back to dust/ Like a casket in a shallow grave/ Out of sight, but I promise it will never go away/ These words may sound all the same/ I have bled to death on every page/ Watch as my heart turns to stone/ Watch me die without hope/ I don't want to break your heart with mine/ Everything I know about life is a lie/ This is what I feared the most/ Wanting love but chasing ghosts/ And it won't matter when I forget your name/ You know exactly what I am, and you know I love the pain/ Remember my words but forget my face/ Every f*cking scar screams your name...

LYRICS: "Caved In" by Spite

Oppressed by the tyrants/ Either shut the f*ck up or join the calamity/ Sign away your f*cking lives/ The path they paved with gold is the road to f*cking suicide/ Pulled apart in all directions/ Drawn and quartered/ Follow me in insurrection/ Follow me as we take over control/ Move/ Bite off the hand that feeds/ I am the true king/ I bow to nothing/ I won't fall in line/ Become a victim to your code/ No I won't/ Now say it/ True hatred reigns supreme/ Wrath/ Gut the suit and ties/ I won't live a lie/ I am the true king/ I bow to nothing/ I won't fall in linе/ Become a victim to your code/ No I won't/ Now say it/ I won't livе a lie/ I am the true king/ I bow to nothing/ Bow to nothing/ It's blood for blood/ Ensured all debts will be paid/ Rolled around in shards of glass/ Uproot your world to dust and ash/ F*ck you, you yuppy b*tch-made ugly f*cking cowards/ Hell hath no fury like my wrath-driven power/ Gut the suit and ties/ Retrieve their f*cking heads/ Hail, to your new-crowned kings/ Hail, true f*cking hatred reigns supreme/ Glory be to the serpentine sovereign/ Money can't buy the devil in me/ Hail, to your-new crowned kings/ Hail, true f*cking hatred reigns supreme

NPR: Can skeptics meditate, Dan Harris?

Dan Harris (ABC), Terry Gross (Fresh Air, 5/19/20); Dhr. Seven, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly

ABC's Dan Harris (left) with his Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein of IMS (tenpercent.com)

10% Happier (Dan Harris)

ABC's Dan Harris is the author of 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-help That Actually Works: A True Story. In meditation he once wondered about a fleeting question. It crossed his mind, as millions of questions do. It was a good one, but pondering makes for terrible meditating. So first let's get that question out of the way:

Where do gerbils run wild?

Gerbils are small, omnivorous mammals, rodents adapted to arid habitats. Once known as "desert rats," the gerbil subfamily includes about 110 species in Africa, India, Mongolia, and Asia -- where they run wild.

Safer at Home: Snuggle and sleep like a gerbil

Dan Harris (ABC News' Good Morning America, Nightline) practices Buddhist meditation in a science-based mostly non-secular way. He's a student of Joseph Goldstein, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. He is the host of the Ten Percent Happier PODCAST, named after his very successful book on mindfulness meditation after suffering a panic attack on air and chronic anxiety from the way he was living. Terry Gross had him on Fresh Air today talking about meditation, neuroscience, Buddhism, and better living.

Anxious? Meditation can help you "relax into the uncertainty" of the pandemic

(Fresh Air) ABC News Correspondent Dan Harris was broadcasting live in 2004 when he experienced a panic attack [thanks in part to his fast living and abuse of cocaine as a high powered newsman on the go]. "My lungs seized up, my palms started sweating, my mouth dried up. I just couldn't speak," he says. He credits meditation with helping him work through his anxiety -- then and now. He has a twice weekly PODCAST. And he does a DAILY MEDITATION everyone can join. More
