(Paperback) Author Bishop Marc Andrus has 4.7 out of 5 stars (with 105 reviews). This is the never-before-told story of the friendship between American Christian Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh—icons who changed each other and the world.
The day after Rev. King was assassinated in 1968, Thich Nhat Hanh wrote a heartbroken letter to their mutual friend Raphael Gould. In it he said: "I did not sleep last night.... They killed Martin Luther King. They killed us.
"I am afraid the root of violence is so deep in the heart and mind and manner of this society. They killed him. They killed my hope. I do not know what to say.... He made so great an impression in me. This morning I have the impression that I cannot bear the loss." More
AUTHOR: Marc Andrus is the American bishop of the Episcopal Church (Anglican Communion). He was the eighth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California until his retirement in the summer of 2024. Prior to his election as Bishop of California, Andrus served as a suffragan bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. More

Jimmy Dore's doppelganger Jimmy Kimmel cries, announcing Trump's win because he has fallen for vaccines and every other mainstream PR campaign (war in Ukraine, war in Israel, war on Palestine, war on Lebanon, war on Iran, war on Jordan, war on Yemen, war on Syria, war on Russia, war on China, war on drugs, war on carbon...)
True liberals don't stick with a party (Democrat) that favors censorship, war crimes, genocide, calling every critic an "antisemite," propping up a corpse as president, shoving another horrible person no one likes down our throats as president...

"Open your eye" - Doctor Strange meets the Ancient One
ET photographed by Dr. Steven Greer (CE 5)
(BestScene) In 2016, Hollywood put out a Cumberbatch vehicle called Doctor Strange. Here is a film clip of the best scene in the whole convoluted story of a how a Marvel character came to be. This is the Marvel Universe, right? "Open your eye is a reference to our third eye located on our forehead between the other two, left and right, the dibba cakkhu or "divine eye," the subtle manifestation of the denser pineal gland, the magical set of rods and cones buried deep in the skull where it never sees ordinary light. But it can perceive something. What is it for? "Who are you in this vast multiverse?"

Was this an attempt to imitate an advanced race of [alien] beings with elongated skulls? If so, might they be extraterrestrials, and what evidence suggests that they actually existed?

How can we spin this report on Dr. Fauci to protect his image? - I know! Let's make it all about disrespectful whack job MTG! Who? You know, the bad built bleach jobbed butch bod! Oh, you mean Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, AOC's nemesis! Her and Rep. Jasmine Crockett's nemesis. Many Republicans are laying into this criminal. It's just that MTG is vulgar and vocal, lacking the finesse others have worked so hard on to be able to shine in public.
Fauci defiant in the face of partisan attacks in House hearing over COVID controversies
(We Are Iowa Local 5 News)
June 4, 2024: Big Pharma darling and possible gavone Tony Fauci testified in public and on camera for the first time since he bailed out under pressure after more than five decades of government misinformation and mayhem, first with AIDS and HIV then with COVID-19, the gain-of-function coronavirus pandemic he took from animal species (Chinese crate snake venom, bat, pangolin) to humans, testing how to make it more virulent, robust, and deadly, presumably to save the world from overpopulation or the elderly and infirm like an old-timey eugenicist.

WARNING: Violent Jews, outside agitators, and/or undercover LAPD apparatchiks attack UCLA student peace in Palestine encampment as campus security stands by and city police are nowhere to be found. The students and their guests were left to fend for themselves against pro-genocide, pro-Israel attackers armed with bear spray (chemical irritants), clubs, metal pipes, and explosives.
I'm here to put Pro-Palestinians in check.
Photogenic Ashkenazi (German European) Jews tell Oprah's Dr. Phil, "Side with us," and he does, embedding with the riot police amassing to destroy UCLA's peaceful demonstration protesting UC's complicity with Israel and the war machine (CIA, Pentagon, Biden administration) funding Israel's genocide in Gaza and throughout Palestine. His one chance to side with progressive students for peace, Dr. Phil goes more regressive to get ratings and play it safe. "Let's highlight the Jewish perspective for a largely Zionist-Christian audience," he must have been thinking.

(Dr. Phil Primetime) May 8, 2024: Old and increasingly decrepit Doc Phil McGraw is first and foremost about making money. What better way than sticking his nose into a divisive issue.
That'$ my boy, Pema! - Who, Mr. Phil?
I'm America’s top talk show host, and I need to turn it up in prime time. Just ask my boss, Oprah. I'm on a mission to tackle issues that matter to my ratings: parents’ rights, social media, education, homelessness, the Fentanyl crisis, and much more.
No topic is out of reach of my cameras, no cow is too sacred not to slaughter, and nobody is too lost for me not to tell them how to get found and get right with the Judeo-Christian Lord above all, El Capitalismo.

Happiness Poison — and the Antidote | Dr. Robert Waldinger
(Big Think) Harvard University has conducted an 85-year-long study on what makes humans happy.
Zen, is it Zen? It's Zen Buddhism, isn't it? - No.
[Was it money, tripping on acid, alcohol, fighting, heroin addiction, lots of sex, smoking weed, drinking lots of water, money, oh I bet it's money, shiploads of money, a job that pays a lot, cars, houses, oh I bet it's lots of real estate, tenants that pay a lot, political office, hot yoga, cold plunges, talk therapy, it's not talk therapy is it, ayahuasca retreats, getting into the Olympics, Math Olympics, winning chess tournaments, achievements of all kinds, overcoming adversity, martial arts, is it breathing, just being alive, having a disease then not having it, eating vegan, watching videos on YouTube, no TikTok, being addicted to a cellphone, meditating alone in a jungle under a fruit tree until the dawn of wisdom?]
Harvard professor's six-step guide to Zen
Psychiatrist [Zen Master Roshi] Robert Waldinger, MD, explains what Harvard found by asking, ► What is the one thing that, according to science, will make our lives richer and vastly more fulfilling? [Meditation, is it meditation?]
This 85-year continuing longitudinal study from Harvard says the answer is relationships.
Dr. Waldinger is the current director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running research on adult life.
Tracking over 2,000 lives since 1938, Waldinger and his team have dissected the fabric of well-being, finding that wealth and achievements fall short compared to the power of our connections with other people.
Over the eight decades since the study began, scientists have determined that loneliness and isolation can have negative effects on our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being.
Key findings of this study suggest that nurturing relationships may serve as our best source of fulfillment, emphasizing the need for "social fitness" alongside mental and physical health.
According to Doc Waldinger, it’s time to invest in the bonds that matter which, ultimately, is an investment in ourselves.
ABOUT: Dr. Robert Waldinger, MD, is a clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a practicing psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and a Zen Buddhist teacher and practitioner. For the last two decades, Waldinger has been the director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. This study, conducted over more than 85 years, has analyzed the entire lives of 724 families to determine the activities, behaviors, and dynamics that enhance a person’s life-long well-being. Dr. Waldinger has dedicated his career to examining these elements and discovering what brings true fulfillment to human existence.
He is the author of several books, including his most recent, The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.

C'mon, Gen Z, be like me! Get arrested by The Man in public. Sell books. Produce carbon.*
Stop making sense! I don't want to think! I like Greta and Gore. They're nice! Leave us alone!
GOP's D'Souza calls out Left for "Nazi tactics"
We wish Greta Thunberg were the real thing -- the same as we wished billionaire Al "I Give Up" Gore were honest in his making of An Inconvenient Truth. He left out the "inconvenient truth" that raising animals for slaughter is one of the world's worst causes of pollution.
But since the Gore family made its fortune by ranching (raising animals for slaughter with cesspools of their waste contaminating waterways and the environment, unthinkable animal suffering, the burning down of the Amazon rainforest to make way for pasture to feed American-inspired meat consumption rates and fast-food habit.
I need the money. Buy it.
Gore was called out for his hypocrisy for his mansion and heating bills, with the largest carbon footprint in the state. We live in a disposable culture, and Gore and Greta are symptoms. She was called out for taking planes all over, promoting her tinsel book. Gore sold his Current TV network to Al Jazeera. His motive? Millions.
We are radically left leaning liberals, and we love Mother Nature, and we want to save the environment and all the creatures in it (not eating flesh so that all may live in safety). Yet, we see through Greta being foisted on an unsuspecting public. And history tells us what a fake Gore was. He gave us George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, rolling over to hand them a stolen election. Them's is swamp politics. Trump isn't the first to complain. Black box voting machines, what a joke. Manipulation of the mainstream media, a bigger joke.
