Choosing My Own Way of Life
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Chapter 4: Ice Packs and Prickle Bushes
Rory woke up to a large crash followed by a few choice curse words. She tried to lift up her head but immediately groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. She couldn't recall much of the previous nights events after her run in with Tristan. She remembered finding Finn near the bar nursing his swollen lip with a bag of ice. The two of them then proceeded to drink an entire bottle of tequila to themselves.
"Ace!" Logan called, as he entered the bedroom. "Time to get up. I have coffee and breakfast already made."
"Go away, it's too early." Rory groaned, hidden under a pile of blankets.
"It's noon. You have to get up, or you're going to waste the entire day laying in bed." Logan told her as he pulled the blankets off of her. "Colin and Finn are on their way over right now, we thought we'd take advantage of the nice weather and hit the park for the day."
"What the hell is there to do in a park, after you pass the age of 12?" Rory asked, trying in vain to wrestle the blankets back from Logan, "please tell me that this wasn't Finn's idea, because he wanted to play on the swings or something."
"No, lazy bones. This isn't a children's park. We've gathered everyone for a football game."
"And i'm going to do what? Gilmore's do not play team sports, or any sport for that matter. We don't have the coordination." Rory told him finally sitting up.
"That's why you, my dear girl, are going to lie on the sidelines and sun tan with Rosemary and Juliet while admiring my amazing physique." Logan told her.
"I have a better idea, how about we stay in bed for the rest of your day and I'll show you just how much i appreciate your hot bod." Rory told him slyly, as she grabbed his hand to pull her onto the bed with her. "I promise you you'll have much more fun in here with me than with me than being chased by a bunch of sweaty boys."
"As tempting as that sounds, we're still going to the park. I may take you up on your offer tonight though." Logan replied as he starting nuzzling her neck.
"Nope sorry, it's a one time offer." Rory said, as she pushed Logan off her, laughing as he fell onto the floor. "I'm going to go shower, when I get out I could really use a cup of coffee and a couple of Advil."
Rory went off into the bathroom, making a point to lock the door so Logan couldn't follow her in.
Logan shook his head and was muttering to himself as he walked back into the common room. "Damn woman, don't know why I put up with her."
"Rory finally up? Derek asked.
"Yep, she's in the shower now. She was not impressed when I told her that she'd be coming to a football game today." Logan told Derek laughing, "She did a damn good job trying to convince me to skip the football game and stay in bed all day."
"And you resisted?" Derek asked, "I never pictured you as one to turn down sex with a beautiful girl... or any girl for that matter."
"I do have some self control you know, i'm not Finn. " Logan told him grinning, " But seriously, she was just messing with me. We both decided that we're gonna just be friends now, I care about her too much to screw it up by having casual sex."
" So you wouldn't mind if I..."
"Don't even think about it." Logan told him sternly. " You so much as flirt with her and I'll kick your ass."
" Just kidding man. I would never. I can't say the same for every other guy though."
Just then Tristan and Josh walked into the dorm holding bags filled with bagels, doughnuts and muffins.
"Can't say the same for every other guy doing what?" Josh asked Derek.
"Hitting on Rory. Logan here is a bit over protective." Derek told them, grabbing one of the bags and taking out a powdered doughnut.
"Be glad that you're here at Yale, and not at Chilton. Guys have been going crazy for her since school started back up." Josh told them as he walked over to sit beside Tristan on the couch.
Logan didn't say anything just frowned and walked back into his room muttering under his breath.
Tristan also didn't have much to say. He sat quietly on the couch staring off at Logan's closed bedroom door thinking about how different Rory was. He couldn't figure out what was bothering him so much about it. A year ago he would have given his left arm to have her hit on him.
"I cannot believe that i'm actually sitting here watching a football game. I don't know anything about football, I'm not even sure who's scored the most goals." Rory complained to Rosemary and Juliet. The three girls were sprawled out bikinis on the lounge chairs that Rosemary had made Colin bring.
"Honey, it's not about keeping track of all the home runs, but watching a bunch of hot sweaty shirtless men running around in front of us." Juliet told her.
"I suppose you have a point. They are some fine looking men out there." Rory said, while glancing at Tristan. Halfway through the game he had taken off his sweat soaked tee shirt, giving Rory a chance to stare shamelessly. The boy had an amazing body, broad shoulders, chiseled pecks, and amazing abs. It took all her self control not to run over to him and run her hands over his stomach.
"Rory, spill. What's up with you and Tristan DuGrey?" Rosemary asked her curiously.
"Nothing, he used to hit on me before he left for military school, now he's back and completely uninterested in me." Rory told them with a sigh. There was no point in beating around the bush with those two. Rosemary was like a human lie detector, the girl could always tell when someone wasn't telling the truth or withholding information. The only downfall was she tended to use her talents to become an unashamed gossip.
"Uninterested? Please Rory, the boy wasn't able to take his eyes off of you last night. And today, he has made a point to run past you numerous times just to steal a quick glance." Juliet told her.
"I know, but every time I try to talk to him he just walks off. I dunno, maybe he just expected me to be the same girl that I was when he left. I just don't understand, I don't think I've changed that much. I'm not as shy and timid as I was, but I don't think that's a bad thing." Rory said, looking down at her hands.
"No that's not a bad thing." Rosemary said trying to reassure her friend. "It's just some people have a hard time with change. I think you need to show him that you are the same person deep down. Let me get to know you now."
"Yeah, you're right." Rory said smiling. "Tonight we're all going to Rich Man's Shoe, that will be perfect, nice and mellow and hopefully all the guys will be distracted throwing napkins at the folk singers again."
"Ohh right, I never even thought what Logan would think about all this." Rosemary stated. "I can't imagine he'll be pleased."
"No, definitely not. Apparently he was giving all the guys you were dancing with last night the evil eye, and then this morning he threatened Josh when he made a joke about him hitting on you." Juliet informed the two other girls.
"Logan and I have an understanding. We decided to leave our fling in the past, I think he's just more over protective than anything else. Besides, I know for fact that he has three dates lined up next week." Rory replied.
Just then the three girls heard someone yell "watch out!" Rory barely had time to react when a football came flying at her and hit her right in the cheek.
"Owe, fuck that hurts." Rory yelled, standing up. "Who the hell threw that?" She yelled at the boys, who were making their way over.
"Ace, you alright?" Logan asked her concerned.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm sure I'll have a lovely bruise tomorrow, but I'll survive."
"Sorry Rory. I was trying to throw the ball to Derek and obviously missed." Tristan told her as he walked up beside her. "I hope it didn't hit you that hard."
"No, it's fine. You have quite the arm. Not so good with hitting the target though" Rory replied smiling.
"That's what she said." Finn said, earning a bout of laughter from the group.
"Alright boys, let's get back to the game." Logan told them, grabbing the ball and running back out to where the game was.
"You sure you're alright, I can't get you an ice pack or anything. It looks like it's starting to swell a bit." Tristan asked her again, not caring that the boys had started the game again.
"No that's alright" Rory replied.
"No Rory he's right. You should put some ice on that. Tristan you should go with her and make sure she's alright" Rosemary told them both with a slight smile.
"I'm perfectly capable of going by myself, thank you." Rory said indignantly. "Tristan you should go and finish you game" Rory said as she turned towards Tristan.
"Nah football isn't really my thing to begin with." Tristan told her glancing up at her bruising eye. "Just let me go tell the guys I'm leaving and we'll go find you some ice."
Tristan ran off leaving Rory to turn around and glare at Rosemary. Who just smiled and handed Rory her purse and Logan's key's.
Rory and Tristan walked back to the dorms not really saying much. Rory was too busy replaying her earlier conversation with Rosemary and Juliet. She didn't know why his indifference to her was bothering her so much. Rory unlocked the door and went to sit on the couch as Tristan went into the kitchen area in search of ice.
"Alright here's an icepack, I've put a towel around it so it won't sting as much" Tristan said to Rory as he sat beside her on the couch.
"Thanks" Rory replied, wincing as she put the ice against her swollen cheek.
"No worries, I'm the one who threw the ball" Tristan replied with a grin.
Rory just smiled and nodded. She was starting to get a little bit of a headache. She leaned her head back against the couch and groaned.
"Are you in pain?" Tristan asked worriedly.
"Not much, just a little headache. Although not sure if that's from the ball in the face or from the tequila last night." Rory told him.
"Yeah, you and Finn sure can hit the bottle. I have to say Rory I didn't think you had it in you." Tristan replied with a slight smile.
"You spend enough time with Finn and you would be surprised at how much liquor you'll be able to pack away."
"Hahaha, and I'm sure your relationship with Logan didn't have any part of that." Tristan replied.
"Logan and I aren't in a relationship, we're just friends" Rory told him, turning to look him in the eyes. "We had a little summer fling, and that was it."
"Yeah, that's what he said. I was just curious that's all" Tristan told her.
Rory didn't say anything, instead she laid her head back on the couch with the ice pack still over her cheek. The two sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes. Neither knowing what to say to the other.
"So how did you find your first week back at Chilton?" Rory asked him, breaking the silence.
"It's all right i guess." Tristan told her shifting his body so he was facing her.
"You guess? Wasn't Chilton your domain before you left? Guys following you, girls throwing themselves at you. Every teenage boys fantasy." Rory replied, a bit confused by his reply.
"Military school changed me. Things that were important before just don't seem that important now. I guess I had to grow up sometime." Tristan told her looking her straight in the eyes.
"You really have changed, haven't you?" Rory whispered
The two stared into each others eyes for a moment slowly leaning towards each other. Tristan softly pressed his lips against Rory's bushing them lightly over her lips before finally fully kissing her. Rory didn't respond for a moment, shocked that she was sitting her kissing Tristan, she hand dropped the ice pack from where she was holding in on her cheek and put her hands on both sides of Tristan's face.
Tristan grabbed Rory's back pulling her closer to him and causing her to moan, he slipped his tongue into her mouth and massaged his tongue with hers. He couldn't believe how good she two sat on the couch kissing for a few minutes before Tristan finally broke apart from her to catch his breath.
"Was that your master plan? 'Accidentally' throw a ball that hits me in the face so you can lure me back here to make out?" Rory asked him with a smile on her face.
Tristan laughed, "I wish I was that clever. I would have done this a year ago."
Tristan placed his hand on her cheek, inspecting her bruise, "the swelling isn't too bad. I don't think you'll have much of a bruise tomorrow."
"I sure hope not. It should be interesting explaining to my mom why I'm coming home with a bruise on my cheek. I don't think she'll actually believe me when I tell her it was from being a spectator of a football game."
"Not much one for sports I take it?" Tristan asked her smiling.
"Ahh no. Gilmore's do not partake in or watch sports of any kind." Rory told him.
"Not even hockey? You know I am the all time leading scorer of the Chilton Renegades, and the season will be starting next week. You might have to come watch me in action."
"For you, I might just make an exception. And if you're really as good as you say you are... I might just show up in a cheerleading uniform." Rory replied with a twinkle in her eye.
"Now Mary, don't tease me." Tristan replied, turned on by the thought of her in a short skirt and pom poms.
"Ohh trust me there will be plenty of teasing... We'll just have to wait and see how many baskets you score." Rory told him leaning up against him.
Tristan didn't have a chance to reply because Logan, Colin, Derek and Josh all walked in holding Finn.
The two jumped off the couch as the guys brought Finn over and laid him on the couch they had just been sitting on.
"Oh my god what happened!" Rory asked Logan starring at Finn.
He looked like he ran head first into a prickle bush. Leaves and thorns covered him from head to toe.
"The idiot here was trying to show off in front of a group of girls that were sitting near by and ran right now a thorn bush." Logan told her shaking his head.
"Ohh love, I think I may be dying. Be a doll and grant a dying man his one last wish of a raunchy strip tease and a lap dance." Finn asked her in a lame attempt of a dying man's voice.
"I'm sure you'll live Finn." Rory told him shaking her head while walking over to the bathroom to grab the first aid kit. "We better pull those thorns out and put some polysporin on all those cuts."
"Logan, Colin you guys strip him and pull out the thorns with tweezers and I'll apply the polysporin."
Derek, Josh, and Tristan all stood back watching the others tend to Finn.
"While man, I guess we should be heading back home." Josh told Tristan.
"Yeah let's go." Tristan told him
The two grabbed their bags from Derek's room and slipped out of the dorm not wanting to disturb the others who were trying to calm down a hysterical Finn who had somehow gotten prickles in a rather delicate area. Tristan shuddered at the thought. He wasn't sure why he didn't wait to say goodbye to Rory. He needed some time to think, he'd been through a lot in the past year and a having the complication of a girl in his life right now was not something he had wanted. A small smile crossed his face as he thought about how good it felt to have Rory in his arms. She was special, that was for sure. He just had to figure out if he was ready to be completely honest with her... and himself about the events that had happened while he was in military school.

Dear Parents:
This week as I visited classrooms, there seemed to be a theme. The theme focused around growth. Many classrooms are growing plants as part of their science unit. I watched students measure the growth of their plant, transplant some of the plants to make room for more growth, and nurture their plant with water. These students were excited about growth. My thoughts immediately went to our students and their personal growth for knowledge. It is amazing to watch them grow and learn. Their minds are eager to acquire new concepts. I enjoy watching our teachers become excited watching their students grow and learn. I came across this quote and I thought it said a lot about what we believe at MCES.
"Always do your best. What you plant now will harvest tomorrow."-Og Mandino
We want our students to do their best in order for them to have a successful future. I am very honored to be a part of this growth process.
Speaking of being the best, we have several celebrations this week!
Aiden Brinkley tied for 7th place in the County Spelling Bee.
Mackenzie Carden came in 1st in an Arbor Day Poster contest.
Congrats to our Reflections City Winners: Emily Wing received 1st place in Musical Composition and 1st place in Dance Choreography-Primary Division; Chloe Song received 3rd place in the Visual Arts and 2nd place in Musical Composition-Primary Division; Jason Davies received 1st place in the Visual Arts-Intermediate Division.
A huge thank you to the James Clemens High School National Science Honor Society leading science experiments with our extended day students last week.
I look forward to another amazing week being a Maverick!

Goran Dragic to be Featured on NBA Inside Stuff
Suns.com: Was it nerve racking for you and Grant Hill to relaunch a brand that was so iconic to many NBA fans?
Kristen Ledlow: "I described it before as the sequel to the movie that everybody loved. No matter what, you go into the second one of your favorite trilogy and you know it's not going to be as good as the first one.
Grant [Hill] and I talked about that and just kind of said 'no matter what we're not going to be the original host or the original show but let's try to not only bridge the gap between the fans that loved Inside Stuff the first time but grab hold of a new generation of fans who haven't seen Inside Stuff before."
Suns.com: What is it like to work with Grant Hill as he launches his second career?
KL: "I tell everyone I always feel like I'm sucking up when I talk about Grant in an interview. He is just the quintessential gentleman. Honestly, he is just the picture of class. He is everything that you would have looked at Grant Hill and thought he might be. He's so kind, so classy and such a hard worker." Grant has become like one of my best friends. I know it sounds hilarious to say. But really he has become that. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him."
Suns.com: A few weeks ago you had a chance to talk with Goran Dragic. As a national media member, what were your impressions of him?
"As a basketball player that's obvious. We've watched what he has done all season long. A lot of people thought he was a guy that should have been playing in that Sunday night showcase in New Orleans, me included. But off the court I was just as impressed with him.
He was so kind and humble. You can tell he is kind of in awe of the position he's in right now taking the reigns on this Suns team. The entire time he and I spoke he kept reflecting on when he first got to Phoenix and when he was much younger."
You can catch Kristen Ledlow's sit down with Goran Dragic this Saturday on Inside Stuff at Noon ET (9:00 a.m. in Phoenix) on NBA TV.

Non-Dual Infants
You think you know so much,
peeking out from the womb
like a one-eye Cyclops,
crawling on all fours to the moon.
You think you know so much,
infant babes with peek-a-boo treats,
crawling infinity, skipping along on cosmic feats.
You think you know so much,
non-dual infants, slobbering of spiritual greed,
smelling of conceptual pride, of ignorance dribbling
with a babbling of non-dual desires and fears
in the cosmic kindergarten of eternity.
Sometimes your crawling ass,
could stand a cosmic wiping..
All I want is to be free to hold nothing, All I want is to
be free to be fully and fearlessly with whatever is occuring
here and now
I commit to being open to the meanings I am generating, to
be allow the meanings to be.
This is an exquisitely beautiful statement of desire, which
comes straight from the fullness and fearlessness of the
here and now.
"God", is just more of the same hokey pokey, a belief, a
pacifier that gets outgrown....all in good time.
...is it a belief, something that someone told you or is it
understanding that comes from your own direct experience?
Huge difference. You can't just watch someone else breathe
air and expect to survive yourself.
who needS a dictator, the illusion of time is enough of a
dictator in this dimension as it is.
Gloria Lee wrote: "How does an intentionally nondualist
community want to deal with conflicts?"
It seems to me that a short coming of "nonduality" is that
there is no social context. Off the top of my head, I can
only think of two places in the stuff I've read where
society is an issue. In the Gita where the advice seems to
be follow the local neurosis and hope for a good charioteer
and secondly in some off hand remarks by Douglass Harding
about "nonconfrontation". There the idea seems to be to
present the other with the space that you are, but I don't
know if this would be particularly helpful if the other guy
is having a hard time, and I don't see how it could be
comunicated in an email anyway. At any rate, my main point
is that any steps in the direction of articulating a social
or "mahayana" nonduality could be something totally new and
would probably coincidentally facilitate an appreciation of
nonduality in a broader audience.
Hello, I am new on the list and I want to introduce myself.
I am female, 42, teacher, married with firak, we have
together a 6 years old son and a little private school for
English and German.
Sometimes I need to share and then I
Dear friends.
here I am again after more than one week. Last week I was
in go(o)d old Germany . I visited teachers from Pliezhausen
(Germany) with teachers from Lasko(Slovenia). The area is
called Baden Wuerttemberg. It was really nice. They showed
us Thuebingen, and Ulm with the big cathedral.
This was a beautiful church, but I didn't feel right in
place. The best for me was the castle in Sigmaringen from
the family Hohenzollern. ( The German people know this
places. ) I must say, that this people drink a lot. (I
have been together with non-meditative people ) Mostly they

Anyway, I like them.........
How are you??????????
I am still O.K. My non-master Maitreya is now in England
and will go after one week to America........He starts a
world tour. It suprised me a little , because he wanted to
stay in Pune (India) until February, but suddenly he sent us
this message. I must say that Maitreya is a really dynamic
enlightened person. He always changes his plans. God the
beyond tells him always what to do. He says for himself,
that he is only a puppet in gods hands and everyone who
visits his Satsangs can see it.................
If you are near, where he stays, try to go to a Satsang and
you will see.............
I am steel in conection with him and this makes me really
Years before I was in total devotion with my master Osho, I
loved him and I still love him. I came to the Commune one
year after he left his body. The energy in that time was
very strong. I learned how to meditate , made groups and so
on. I learned a lot. I learned also sufi-whirling.
I am not a whirler by birth, but last year I whirled very
good. ( this said Akhil- whirling master in Buddha hall).
But the last two years I felt less and less energy in the
commune. I was good into meditation, had high energy by
whirling, but I was missing something. In that time I
didn't know what. Then I met Maitreya on the Satsang and I
knew , that I had missed him. The first Satsang was just
great. ( I wrote about that to the sannyas list before) I
had after that a satori.
Osho is still for me a master, but also Maitreya is very
important for me. In the Commune I learned meditation
techniques and other important things, through Maitreya I
feel the cosmic energy.
The market place is not so difficult for me anymore.
With all my love Rahasya ( it means mystery )
Hello dear friends,
My life is full and so I have only been able to just keep up
with the current of the conversations, but I wanted to put
in a note of gratitude for the enormous growth and changes
that I have experianced since Eric and I came here. Amazing
that I am no where near the *end*. My ego puts up quite a
fight. I have looked at my understandings and the fire of
looking with the eye of god has burned down my proverbial
house. I am naked and standing outside, warm as the sun,
reflected by the moon. the wind of my breath is me as I
play. and then something comes up and I feel ego rising,
and I look again. Oh, anyway, I could go on forever about
that sort of thing....
Lately I've been thinking about my desire to experiance a
belonging, whether it be to a species or a religion. Is it
like a name we wrap up in to keep warm, or what? Does
anybody have any thoughts on that? I've felt myself very
attracted to the 3HO group, is it the experiances that I
crave? I get blissed out when I use my body within
Kundalini Yoga.
very very still. What is my Nature and how does that relate
to feeling a comeradery with Kindred Spirits?
By the way, Aleks, I haven't talked with you much lately.
Eric mentioned you a while ago, but I've not had a chance to
write. I hope that you are lurking and will receive my
wishes for love in your life and cosmic footrubs.=) I love
you and have kept you in my heart.
My father used to say "Noblesse oblige" (nobility obliges).
A teaching that is seen as "best" inevitably has to be lived
up to; it has to be reflected in the entire society. If
not, it will become a mere belief or worse, a dogma.
Forcing you to take a few belly-breaths, how about this joke
I read somewhere (but is said to be actually observed): When
in India a man stumbles and falls on the street, it is seen
but nobody does anything about it. When in another part of
the world a man stumbles and falls on the street, he is
helped :) I know, from a nondual perspective no one falls
and no one gets on his feet again but there isn't a doer
either, so why isn't the man helped? No more Buddhists
around or could it be the adapted version of the first
directive from Star Trek - don't interfere with karma ?:)
A warm welcome to the new members...
Often there seems to be a kind of a club atmosphere here.
The same small group of people interact and others try to
find a way in. That's more an observation than a criticism,
as it is a common social dynamic. And it becomes
problematic when, lacking an adequate supportive environment
at home, one goes to an internet mailing list to find that
which one lacks.
The welcoming you ask about is crucial to any spiritual
life. If we only welcome what we like and avoid or
marginalize what we don't like, we are just like the other
dualists. That too is a rather common dynamic. It would be
sad if such is all the NDS is capable of.
I know in myself when I meet a person whether in person or
on a list it usually takes a little while before I become
comfortable with that person, I need to listen to them for a
little while, it doesn't even really matter what they say so
much, but I need to form an image of their personality. I
think this is not uncommon, so for a person who wants to
join a group of people who are already interacting, you have
to speak up maybe a few times and maybe not get too much
response, but know that people are hearing you and forming
their own images of you, and integrating you into the
group. There is the natural resistance of shyness on all
sides, both in the person coming into the conversation and
in the people already in.
OK. The problem is this need to have an image. We need to
have an image in order to keep someone or something distinct
or separate. How does one know if the image is even
truthful? My experience is that (a certain person) often
openly expressed my own negative emotions. Forming and
maintaining images of others and self is one of the
syndromes that nondual teachings address. It is an
ingrained habit that accounts for conflict and social
division. That is why this list often gets bogged down in
issues. Is it not so?
I think that when we are aware of the process, it ceases to
be a problem, it becomes a problem when we don't understand
what's going on, when we just act instinctively. I don't
see a conflict between awareness and this sort of mental
process, awareness puts it into context, lets us go through
it consciously instead of blindly. I think that people need
to have a crisis occasionally, a katharsis, a "brain dump"
to borrow one of Gene's phrases. Doing it here is a pretty
responsible way of doing it, better by far than doing it in
the "real" world. I don't see that any harm has been done
in the events of the last few days. Just the opposite, I
think there has been development and learning in many
Phil: (Forming and maintaining images of others and self is
one of the syndromes that nondual teachings address. It is
an ingrained habit that accounts for conflict and social
division. That is why this list often gets bogged down in
"personality" issues. Is it not so?)
Dan: It is precisely so. Thanks for clarifying this so
The maintenance of personality structure and learning about
reality through this structure - that is generally what we
consider learning. Along with such learning comes all kinds
of emotional responses when our intellectual attachments or
attachment to images of self or other are threatened.
Nonduality is not this kind of learning, which is
essentially fragmented and fragmenting. Nonduality is
precisely renunciation of attachment to fragemented being,
allowing the opening of nonfragmented being. However,
because the nonfragmented supercedes and subsumes the
fragmented, when Nonduality appears in the realm of Duality,
it is as all-encompassing compassion that supports no
structures. We tend to make the mistake of thinking that
Awareness/compassion wants to compassionately support our
structure as is. No. It is the end of it.

I started humming,"Killing me softly with his love..." Now
the next question is...who and how may anyone assist anyone

JAN (referring to Glo's post)
If, as was my case, one has taken leave of life seriously
but is restored to it again, "Killing me softly with his
love..." cannot happen anymore. It was more like dissolving
in love, being totally absorbed, a state of bliss sometimes
changing in ecstasy; never depression but the most enjoyable
ever experienced until then. The crux of the matter is
"having take leave of life"; it can done mentally with the
same result and sooner or later it will be forced anyway.
What possibly can happen after that? My favorite saying was
"having lost everything, everything is gained": all images
are shattered in one blow. Admitted, this is an extreme.
The other extreme is being completely attached to ephemeral
life. From that perspective, "Killing me softly with his
love..." is more than an understatement; at times it could
be "being hit real hard with a hammer". The first extreme
is called unconditional surrender and the other extreme is
Between the extremes of black and white there is an infinity

ANDREW (referring to Dan's post)
To me it's like the story of the Child King and the Chief
While the King is a child, The Minister carries out all the
day to day duties of his office and also rules the Kingdom
on the King's behalf.
When the King is mature, the Minister still carries out his
day to day duties, but now is subservient to the King who
rules on his own behalf.
The personality with its various mental functions is like
the chief minister, still carrying out his duties, but no
longer ruling.
If you really understood what was going on, you would drop
it like a hot potato. I mean really understood. "Image" is
not an ingredient of relationship. "Image" is destructive.
I say it as I see it. The operative meaning of image is
something constructed or fabricated. On the other hand,
there is absolutely nothing wrong about image-making in
itself. Imagination is wonderful. But when it's
psychological it is a symptom: the refusal of What Is.
Now I understand, yes I did speak of forming an image, that
was confused in my expression, I was thinking of the time it
takes for a perception to develop, it takes some time and
some tentative interaction with someone I meet before I can
be open with them. Openness comes with familiarity. It's
not me actively forming an image, it's the image forming
itself. Like an image forming on the film in a camera.
What is problematic isn't imagery and imagination per se,
it's the error of mistaking an image -- by (Phil's)
definition a construct or fabrication -- for the actuality
it may well have been intended to evoke or point toward.
If one harbors an image, that image tends to perceptually
displace the actual. When we understand the nature of
imagery, we are free to enjoy it as such, as part and parcel
of "what is" -- if we don't we will very likely mistake the
menu for the meal.
There is no image for this community to hold onto. Yet
there is always an image coalescing. It needs to always be
dispelled. It's very difficult to do, but that dispelling
of the coalesced image is not different than the attentional
work anyone does or needs to do every moment. It's
neti-neti. It is out of this knowledge, this attentional
work, that Andrew's Listguru, or what I've called holo-guru,
Melody asked several days ago (and I got caught up in the
recent storm and neglected to respond) where I thought this
community was going (I'm not quoting Melody exactly). Well,
I don't really want to know. The best plan is no plan. But
it's going somewhere and all we can do, I feel, is remove
the obstacles in the way, and we know what the obstacles
Judgement is one of the primary functions of ego-mind that
holds the illusion of duality in place. But, you must know
that, at least as a concept.
.....just looking into the *illusion of duality* part a
little more. I want to probe the illusion to its depths, i
want to grant the diversity that exists. With loving
endeavor, i want to be completely immersed in it, as if no
other existed, free enough to explore the nature and direct
experience of every living thing in this system of human
physical consciousness and know that it is me before i
I don't want to cause myself any unnecessary illness through
neurotic rejection.
I want to know that i created the limitations and the
depths, that i was the game and all was not in vain, that
the illusions i created were important and valid learning
experiences for the self.
So i will play it with divine humor and deep reverence. All
the while aware that i am dwelling in other realities
These are tender children i lay to rest.
Likewise, trees sprout and grow only while their root is
hidden. If their root is uncovered, the trees wither. So
it is with all begotten things in this world, not only
things that are visible but also those that are hidden. For
so long as the root of evil is hidden it is mighty. But as
soon as it has been recognized it has perished, and as soon
as it has appeared it has ceased to be. For this reason
scripture says that "even now the ax is laid to the root of
the tree."
It will not just cut them down, for what is cut down sprouts
back up: rather, the ax will burrow down until it extracts
the root. And Jesus weeded the whole place, while others
did so one part at a time.
Let each of us, too, burrow for the root of evil that is
within, and root it up from his or her heart. It will be
rooted up when it is recognized. But if we are ignorant of
it, it sinks its roots within us, and yields its crops
within our hearts; dominates us; we are its slaves; it takes
us captive, so that we do the things we do not want, and do
not do the things that we want; and it grows powerful
because we do not recognize it. So long as it exists it is
at work.
Lack of knowledge is the mother of all evil. Lack of
knowledge will lead to nullification: for, those who existed
as a result of the lack of knowledge neither existed nor do
exist nor will exist. Those remaining will become perfect
when the whole truth appears. For like the lack of
knowledge, truth rests in itself while it is hidden. But
when it appears, and is recognized, it is glorious insofar
as it overpowers lack of knowledge and error. It brings
freedom. The Word said, "If you know the truth, the truth
will make you free." Lack of knowledge is a slave:
knowledge is freedom. If we come to know the truth, we
shall find the fruits of truth within us. If we join with
it, it will receive our fullness.
(GoPh 104)
The Pathway of Nonduality
by Raphael
Chapter 11
Q. People speak of reincarnation, of metempsychosis,
rebirth, transmigration. What do these terms mean? And who
is it that is reborn or transmigrates?
A. All the branches of Tradition have faced the problem of
rebirth.The Western Mysteric Tradition speaks about
metempsychosis, the Oriental -- in which Buddhism, Taoism
and Jainism may be included -- about transmigration or
The concept of transmigration or rebirth implies, obviously,
that there is something which leaves and comes back,
something which creates movement or changes condition.
Further questions may be asked: why does one transmigrate,
why is one reborn?
This point is very important and very much discussed. First
of all let us restate the problem in metaphysical terms:
that which is 'born', if it really is so, cannot be born a
second time; that which is not born cannot be born or come
into existence, because it is an eternal presence, an
absolute or a constant. The non-existent cannot either be
born or exist or be.
Therefore, if the atman-constant, the pure Spirit, the
Absolute in us or the pure Being cannot be born because it
simply 'is', nor can it transmigrate because it is not
subject to change, then what is it in us that transmigrates?
And why does it transmigrate, why is it reborn?
In order to understand who is reborn and why, we must know
the make-up of the manifested entity in its psycho-physical
components. In this way we shall be able to examine the
whole problem in all its details.
As we have already seen, according to the Western Mysteric
Tradition man is a synthesis of nous, psyche and soma;
according to the Vedanta Tradition he is a synthesis of
atman, jiva and jivabhuta. The nous, like the atman, being
the constant, the immortal, the non-born, and the Absolute
in us cannot, obviously, be subject to birth and
transmigration. The immortal cannot become mortal, nor can
the mortal become immortal, as Gaudapada states in his
karikas to the Mandukya Upanisad.
The body or bodies of the entity, being as perishable as
flies, disintegrate, and their elements return to the plane
and to the existential element from which they have been
drawn. They cannot transmigrate or be reborn because, being
compounds, they dissolve and disintegrate leaving no traces
behind them.
The jiva or psyche is a reflection of consciousness of the
atman-nous, it is a ray of pure consciousness which, though
being a mere ray, has within itself being-will,
consciousness-intelligence and creativity. It attracts
towards itself a certain amount of substance from the
existential planes of Being, producing its bodies of
manifestation through which it can experience the various
objects of the senses.
"An eternal fragment of Me, having become in the world of
mortals a living soul (jivabhuta), attracts towards itself
the five senses and the mind (manas) as the sixth organ,
which find their basis in prakriti." (Bhagavadgita: XV, 7)
If the atman belongs to the state of Being -- and therefore,
being immortal, cannot transmigrate --, if the body belongs
to the condition of non-being, and therefore has no life of
its own or aseity, then we must shift our attention to two
very important factors: the reflection-jiva-psyche and the
qualities that represent the 'scent' of the substance.
"The vital breath," writes Rene Guinon in his L'homme et son
devenir selon le Vedanta, paraphrasing a number of chapters
of the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad, Chandogya Upanisad and
Brahma-sutra, which deal with the question of death,
"accompanied by all its other functions and faculties
(already reabsorbed in it and not subsisting in it except as
possibilites, having now reverted to the state of
indifferentiation from which they had to rise in order to
actually manifest themselves during life) is in turn
reabsorbed by the living soul (jivatman, particular
manifestation of the Self at the core of human
individuality, as already explained, and distinct from the
Self so long as that individuality endures as such, though
this distinction is an illusion from the standpoint of the
absolute reality for which there is nothing but the Self);
and it is this very living soul(as the reflection of the
Self and central principle of the individuality) which
governs the whole of the individual faculties (considered in
their integrality and not only in their relationship with
the corporeal mode). Like the servants of a King gather
around him when he is about to undertake a journey, even so
all the vital functions and faculties of the individual
(external and internal) gather around the living soul (or
rather within it, from which they all issue and by which
they are all reabsorbed) at the last moment (of life, in the
ordinary sense of the word, that is of manifested existence
at the gross state), when this living soul is about to leave
its corporeal form. Thus, accompanied by all its faculties
(as it contains and keeps them as possibilities) it retires
into a luminous individual essence (that is, into the subtle
form, compared to a fiery vehicle, as we have explained with
regard to taijasa, the second condition of atman), which is
composed of the five tanmatras or suprasensible elementary
essences (just as the body has the five bhutas or corporeal
and sensible elements), in a subtle state (as opposed to the
gross state, which is the state of external or bodily
manifestation whose cycle, as far as the individual is
concerned, is completed).
"As a result (due to his passage into the subtle form,
described as luminous) the vital breath is said to withdraw
into the Light, without meaning by this the fiery principle
in the exclusive sense (as in reality it concerns an
individual reflection of the intelligible Light, a
reflection the nature of which is basically the same as the
mental one during bodily life and which, on the other hand,
implies a combination of the five basic principles of the
five elements as its support or vehicle). This withdrawal
does not necessarily imply an immediate transition; in fact,
(to give an example) a traveller is said to travel from a
city to another, even though he may stop at one or more
cities in between.
"This withdrawal from or leaving the bodily form (as
described so far) is common to the ignorant person (avidvan)
and to the contemplative Sage(vidvan), up to the point at
which their respective (and from now on different) ways
--to be continued!
Six wise, blind elephants were discussing what humans were
like. Failing to agree, they decided to determine what
humans were like by direct experience.
The first wise, blind elephant felt the human, and declared,
"Humans are flat."
The other wise, blind elephants, after similarly feeling the
human, agreed.

Why is Jotform's Website Content not displaying correctly?Asked by neilchristiansen on September 19, 2014 at 09:27 AM
for the last three days when my client goes to the website to check her form responses she gets a non-HTML unworking screen like below:
I have no problems getting to the site from my computer in the office, home, or offsite, but her and her colleague continue to have issues.
I see the problem is that you're unable to access our website to use your jotforms.
Usually this happens because the connection timed out and therefore the page didn't fully load.
I've inspected your account but unfortunately I'm unable to replicate the same issue since it's appearing alright on my end.
What I have done is cleared your form cache to refresh your forms. I would also advise that you clear your browser cache then try it again on your side to see if it will start to work. Alternatively, I would suggest trying it in incognito mode or a different browser to see if the same thing occurs.
If that doesn't help then I would recommend that you reset your home network in case any data has bottlenecked in the connection on your end. After that try a second time and let us know.

This was on front page of IBD couple of days ago. The TD Ameritrade CEO was going gaga over how the individual investors are back in full force now that market is up several montha in a row.
We had a discussion on members site about it and we discussed how it is time to really protect open profits and not get cocky and keep one eye on quick exit. I made 2 videos warning people to not get carried away.
Extremely good momentum does not last forever. If you go to the Market Monitor tab on this site and see the column
When the readings go above 20, it is a sign of excessive bullishness. It invariable leads to correction.
This time there was a bit of delay in selling hitting after it went up. But invariably this is what happens.
Seen this movie for 14 years .... I know how it always ends....
People get mesmerised by excessive momentum and forget where there cap is while looking at vertical moves.
By the time they realise what happened not only their cap but clothes are also missing....
And as to those individual investors who very excitedly entered the market now, well the market is teaching them nice lesson in how to be a bag holder....
Welcome back individual investors after missing a big rally.
The bags are in right corner. You can take as many as you want.

Historic Wunsche Bros. Cafe Damaged in Fire
Wunche Bros., originally established in 1902 as a hotel and saloon, was damaged by fire early Sunday morning.
Photo by Lars Plougmann via Flickr Creative Commons
A fire at beloved Old Town Spring restaurant Wunsche Bros. Cafe & Saloon destroyed a substantial part of the building. According to television station KPRC, firefighters were called about 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Despite the fire, the Texas Wine & Art Festival that was in progress over the weekend went forward on Sunday as planned.
If there's a bright spot to the situation, it's that the part that suffered the most damage was a newer section that was added in the 1980s. The original Wunsche Bros. building is more than 100 years old, and while it escaped most of the fire damage, the restaurant is shut down for now. There's a legend that co-founder Charlie Wunsche still haunts the cafe. If so, he's probably not too pleased right now.
For many, Wunsche Bros. was THE place to get a burger in Old Town Spring.
Photo by Plinio Sandalio
Smoke damage destroyed many of the old photos along the walls in the old part of the building, and the restaurant is asking for donations to replace them. It's also asking for financial help for more than 40 employees -- many with families -- who are now out of work. An account to collect donations has been set up with Amegy Bank.
The restaurant phone number rings busy, so we've sent a message for owner Nathan Laviage to get more information about the fund and future plans for the restaurant.
In the meantime, Old Town Spring residents and visitors will have to go elsewhere for big, juicy burgers and chicken-fried steaks. The restaurant is posting updates to its Facebook page, so keep an eye on that to keep up with the rebuilding efforts.

Johannesburg -
The ANC and Afriforum will present their settlement on the "Dubula iBhunu" (Shoot the Boer) song to the Supreme Court of Appeals on Thursday.
The party announced on Wednesday that following an agreement with AfriForum and the Transvaal Agricultural Union it had decided not to pursue its appeal against a court order that in effect bans singing of the controversial song.
ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said that members would have to restrain themselves from singing songs that might be hurtful to minority groups, even if it meant manipulating the lyrics of some songs.
The parties announced an out-of-court settlement that meant they would abandon their legal action against each other, to try to ease tensions around the singing of Struggle songs.
But the settlement was only one area where the parties agreed.
Divisions on many other issues between them were evident with a spat between Mantashe and agricultural union president Louis Meintjes during the announcement.
AfriForum and the agricultural union took then-ANC Youth League president Julius Malema to the Equality Court last year for singing the song, claiming it amounted to hate speech against white farmers. The court agreed, but the ANC appealed against the decision.
Malema was represented by Mantashe and ANC lawyer Lesley Mkhabela in the matter, as he was said to be writing exams.
According to the settlement, AfriForum and the agricultural union have agreed to abandon the Equality Court order handed down last year that would have meant a blanket ban of the song.
The ANC has in return agreed to abandon its appeal at the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein, which was due to begin on Thursday. The ANC would also encourage its members to restrain themselves and not to use the song or other Struggle songs to attack or threaten minority groups, despite these songs being part of their heritage and Struggle history.
"The importance of this decision is also to educate society that litigation should be the last resort to solving any issues that we might have among us," Mantashe said.
"We should be able to sit down and engage in meaningful dialogue.
"This settlement also helps to remove the impact of completely banning the song, and creates an opportunity to engage each other.
"The banning of the song would really have been unworkable. Members should instead adjust some of the lyrics to go forward and not backwards."
The songs captured the mood and stages of the Struggle, but should not be used to hurt others, Mantashe said.
"If you listen to the songs that are being sung now, they capture the mood that we are now headed towards a policy conference, and this also applies to Struggle songs."
AfriForum chief executive Kallie Kriel welcomed the settlement, saying it was better than the order handed down by the Equality Court.
"We have replaced the previous order with a better settlement because it allows us to continue having dialogue instead of an order that might be difficult to enforce.
"We are happy to have a political settlement. We have a situation where people realise that minority groups experience some slogans in a hurtful manner," said Kriel.
The occasion to announce the settlement was almost overshadowed by a spat over the plight of South African farmers.
The tiff was evidence that although the parties had managed to agree on this particular issue, there remained deep-seated differences that might flare up in the future.
The intention had been to present a united front over the song after the settlement had been reached between the parties on Tuesday night, but the briefing almost turned sour when Mantashe clashed with Meintjes.
Mantashe told Meintjes, who was sitting a seat away from him, that the agricultural union should not push its luck with the ANC because of the settlement reached between the parties.
This was after Meintjes had suggested there was no exaggeration in statements that white farmers were leaving the country in droves because of fears instigated by the singing of songs like Dubul' iBhunu.
"The environment of fear is still among farmers because of these kind of songs. This has shown that there are limits to freedom of speech when it becomes hate speech.
"The ANC realises that they must sit down with us," said Meintjes, who then attracted a fierce rebuke from Mantashe.
"[The agricultural union] must not stretch its luck with the ANC. There is no group in South Africa which has a monopoly over anger or fear. You must engage the ANC with respect just like we also engage you with respect," Mantashe told him.

Michael Kors Dress & Jacket // Michael Kors "Ivy" Booties // Michael Kors "Daniella" Clutch // Vera Bradley Bracelets // Michael Kors Sunglasses // Vince Camuto Earrings
The fashion world is no stranger to stripes. From classic nautical to pinstripes, stripes have been a fashionable mainstay for decades. But spring 2017 is bringing in a new, bolder look at this timeless pattern. Think bright colors, patchwork patterns, allover stripes and even contrasting widths. If it's a major stripe statement, it's happening this spring. Here's a look at how I styled it with another one of my favorite trends, the silky bomber jacket!
The Dress & Jacket
This dress posed a conundrum for me: While I usually reach for flowy dresses, this curve-hugging Michael Kors was just so modern and fresh! So, I took a chance and decided to have a little fun with a stretchy striped stunner. And I am so glad I did! The pop of black and white horizontal stripes is fun, and when paired with the silky bomber jacket, makes a very cool sporty chic statement. But a bomber jacket isn't the only topper I would pair with this versatile dress. A boyfriend denim jacket, suede or leather moto jacket, a soft trench or a tailored blazer would all look fab with these posh stripes.
The Accessories
One of the things I love most about this dress is how many different ways you can style it. From sneakers to stacks of necklaces, a studded belt or even a cute baseball cap, there are literally dozens of ways to change up the look of this dress. I chose to add the silky black bomber, and added a few key pieces to make the look pop. I loved the idea of adding a peep-toe pump for a bit of height, and a contrast stripe clutch for an additional take on the stripe trend. Staying in the same color family allows the contrasting stripes to work together to achieve a cohesive look. Next, a few silver bangles and sparkly ear jackets added a fun touch of shine. And of course, the glam white ombre cat-eye sunglasses pull it all together in a luxe ode to athleisure.
Now that you know how to style your bold stripe look, it's time to start shopping. And remember, you can mix and match stripes with contrasting patterns for a fun new take on the trend. Just make sure you stay in the same color family, and combine small, dense patterns with large, airy prints. Follow these tips and you'll be stepping into spring in striped perfection!

Journalist Finds New Material on Genocide Survivor Film Star Aurora Mardiganian
By Aram Arkun
Mirror-Spectator Staff
SHELTER ISLAND, N.Y. — James Bone, the former longtime New York bureau chief of the Times of London, while researching a biography now published as The Curse of Beauty: The Scandalous and Tragic Life of Audrey Munson, America's First Supermodel (New York: Regan Arts, 2016), has come across new material about Aurora Mardiganian. Mardiganian was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide who came to star in a 1918 movie called "Auction of Souls," or "Ravished Armenia," but ended up exploited and dying alone in poverty in the US decades later. The Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity recently was established in her honor by the 100 Lives initiative, and the first awards were made this April in Yerevan.
Bone found a 20-part article titled "The Story of Audrey Munson," allegedly written by the famous model herself, "the Queen of the Artists' Studios," and published in 1921 in the New York American and other newspapers across America. One segment, published on March 20 of that year, described the shooting of "Auction of Souls." In one scene, a dozen actresses were filmed nude on crosses in the desert for the movie.
It was cold in the desert and it was the time of the great influenza epidemic. The article states, "When each had been assigned to her cross, she disrobed behind it, and, while the thousand extra people gazed curiously, each girl was lifted to the position of her 'crucifixion' and fastened in palce with concealed ropes. Until sundown, there were rehearsals, false moves, rearrangements, and mishaps – until just before the light faded the scene was finally taken." Two days later one of the models, Corinne Gray, was stricken with influenza, and died after a few more days.
Munson was not present at the filming, but the information, it turns out, comes from a credible source, as the articles were ghostwritten by Henry Leyford Gates, who also was the scriptwriter of the movie and "almost certainly there with Mardiganian" (p. 240). Gate's identity as ghostwriter was revealed in a lawsuit filed by Allen Rock.
Bone ascertained that Gates previously had been incorrectly identified as Harvey Gates in connection with the "Auction of Souls." Bone describes Gates as "an extraordinarily talented hack journalist, if that is not an oxymoron, and sometime New York Times feature writer, who was now association Sunday editor of Hearst's New York American" (p. 238). Gates was married to novelist Eleanor Brown Gates, who became Mardiganian's legal guardian in the US.
Bone uncovered documents from the Surrogates' Court of the County of New York containing information about the guardianship established for Mardiganian as a minor by Mrs. Gates, which allowed the latter to spend the money Mardiganian earned, allegedly only for Mardiganian's expenses.
Bone also unearthed the February 25, 1921 issue of the Evening World, which contains an article, "Armenian Refugee Got $15 a Week as Star of Film Play." The article states that Mardiganian claimed at a court hearing that she received $15 weekly while touring with her film throughout the country, and was to have been paid $7,000 for the film itself. However, her guardian Mrs. Gates only saved her $195 out of that latter sum.
Henry L. Gates testified that her life story was bought from her for $50, and then sold for $700 to a Dr. Levy of the International Copyright Bureau. The printed books were then sold for 50 cents a copy when Mardiganian gave a talk, and she would get 5 cents of this. However, Henry Gates admitted that there were 7 other women posing as Mardiganian in different parts of the country selling books. He claimed Mardiganian incurred expenses of $650 weekly.
Mardiganian eventually won $5,000 but led a difficult life, dying in isolation decades later in 1994. Her story, originally published with Henry Gates in 1918 as Ravished Armenia, has been republished in an annotated and revised edition (Ravished Armenia and the Story of Aurora Mardiganian, 2014, University of Mississippi) by Anthony Slide, along with a manuscript of the film script, illustrations, and a forward by Slide.
The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute of Yerevan has assembled various personal artifacts and photographs of Mardiganian, and this year published a new volume by its director Hayk Demoyan, The Road of Aurora: Odyssey of the Armenian Genocide Survivor.
James Bone's Viennese great-grandparents died in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Consequently, he declares that he understands all the more the value of the materials he discovered pertaining to Mardiganian and her unique movie on the Armenian Genocide, and "appreciate[s] the importance of the historical record of the Armenian Genocide being as complete as possible." He says that he will ensure that the court papers he found will be lodged eventually in an Armenian library for all to use.

Colin Liddell reads his 2013 essay, republished last year in the wake of the Paris Terrorist attacks.
The European Left encouraged and facilitated mass Third World immigration as a "biological weapon" to defeat the European Right. This was only the first stage of their plan. In the second stage they assumed that they would then easily assimilate the incomers to their atheistic, materialist values by acts of mass "cultural genocide" on their Third World cultures in the cultural death camps of the Liberal West. But somehow the trains didn't run on time.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Thursday, Jun 28,2007 9:15 AM
A study by JWT India on the global Indian through an Indian proprietary tool, Brand Chakras, reveals the centrality of 'work is worship' and identifies hot Chakra Payoffs that brands across categories can use.
The overriding finding is that for the global Indian, work will be clearly
worshiping at the altar of fame and money and will be a stepping stone to
playing god, some day soon. Conversations with consumers spanned key areas like work, money, relationships, lifestyle, technology and media.
Mythili Chandrasekar, Senior VP, Corporate Initiatives, JWT, and originator of Brand Chakras, said, "Brand Chakras is the first Indian strategic planning tool that applies the 2,000-year old chakra system as laid out by Patanjali, to consumers and brands."
She added, "This original system of understanding human behaviour based on the seven major nerve/energy centres in the human body has never been used in brand planning, and is an initiative of strategic planning at JWT India."
Looking at Indians through the seven chakras that drive and determine all human behaviour, the report titled 'The Power and the Glory' reveals that the global Indian today is largely driven by Manipura: the drive for power (solar plexus); Vishuddha: the voice of creative expression - in search of truth and higher creativity (throat); Ajana: desire for transcendence – active intelligence (third eye). Further, 16 'payoffs' were identified for this global Indian segment, out of a total of 60.
Commenting on the study by JWT, Colvyn Harris, CEO, JWT India said, "We are very pleased at the depth of insights that this new Indian way of looking at brands and consumers has generated. This is something we, as the leading Indian advertising agency can give the world".
He further said, "The global Indian symbolises and drives Indian optimism today and we are the first to study this leading edge target group. The findings are applicable for brands across categories and have a basket of insights for creative to dip into."
The study identified different segments of Work is worship, Globalness, Relationships, Money, Social give-back, Spiritual liberation, Experiences, Technology and Masculinity.
The insight mining exercise was done among men and women between 25 and 45 years of age, in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, who are frequently interacting with the world. They included people who have returned to India after stints abroad as well as Indians currently living abroad. The study also draws from media monitoring and blogging.

Cliven Bundy is a Nevada rancher who suddenly became famous when Fox News started covering his standoff with the federal government over his illegal use of public lands. For some strange reason, Fox News did not cover Bundy's racist rants.
Rule of thumb: sentences starting with, "Let me tell you about the Mexicans," are going to be trouble. As for the whole, government subsidies are worse than slavery thing, it's really hard to put into words just how wrong that is.
While Fox News is under no obligation to cover every racist rancher out there, ignoring Bundy's comments is quite conspicuous. According to Think Progress, Fox News mentioned Bundy 469 times while spinning the tale of Bundy as an American hero fighting back against government overreach. This reveals (again) that Fox News is not journalism. It is a network for narrative reinforcement. Bundy's standoff against the Federal Bureau of Land Management fits a narrative that Fox News seeks to promote.

India's growth is slowing and uneven, it is a difficult place to do business and it is risking another generation of millions of poor people as it fails to enact market reforms.
Even if GST does fail to go through, investors will not leave India, as the economy is on a recovery path. Earnings growth is likely to pick up from the first quarter of 2017 and Nifty earnings could grow by 15%, says Gopal Agrawal, Chief Investment Officer, Mirae Asset Management in a interview with Prashant Mahesh. There are worries that GST which has been touted as one of the biggest reforms is unlikely to go through. How could this impact the markets and the economy? GST is a very big reform in the category of Ease of Doing Business.
(By Bibhudatta Pradhan and Pratik Parija) The most ardent supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surprise currency withdrawal are those you'd least expect: India's rural poor, who are suffering the most with the prolonged cash shortages. But the backing of many from India's villages -- based on a belief that Modi's actions will even out the scale of inequality and reduce corruption -- may be short-lived. The jury is still out on the political and economic impact of the decision to target unaccounted cash.
By Ritesh Jain Where does the average Indian spend his savings? On leisure travel? Come on, give me a break. An interesting research by Bloomberg on luxury spending by various geographies tells us India will be the fastest-growing destination for leisure travel spending. And then there were these studies on what makes rich, ambitious Americans feel more fulfilled and why acceptance rates at top schools like Harvard, Stanford or MIT are now as little as 4-5 per cent.
Richard Heyes, head of Pan-Asian equities, and Abhinav Khanna, head of equity, Citigroup Global Markets in India, spoke to ET on the sidelines of Citi Investor Conference. The general mood at the conference was buoyant after the recent market rally, but both Heyes and Khanna felt that global growth was fragile and more confidence building was required through data on global economy. Edited excerpts:
Is the recent global stock market rally sustainable? Richard: Central banks around the world are having a high level of co-ordination behind the scene.
Buddhika Weerasinghe/Getty ImagesContinuing on a now well-worn path of groups downgrading economic growth forecasts, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) today lowered its GDP forecast for developing Asian nations in 2016 citing a weak recovery in major industrial economies and softer growth prospects for China.
SHANGHAI: Indian economy will eventually touch double digit growth rate despite bottlenecks like the stalemate over Goods and Services Tax (GST) as it has conducive conditions, eminent banker and President of BRICS New Development Bank KV Kamath said today. "I am wearing a different hat. I will talk wearing that hat. India is one of outlier in what is happening around the world. In economic context we are stable. We have both the deficits under control," he said, commenting on the economic survey which predicted 7 to 7.5 per cent growth this year.
Pramit Jhaveri, as chief executive of Citigroup in India, has a ringside view of both Indian corporates and global investors. In an interview with ET's MC Govardhana Rangan and Joel Rebello, Jhaveri tells what's in store for the economy, banking and how Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has performed. Edited excerpts: Do you think the Parliament session could see some reforms, which some say are stalled? I do not subscribe to the theory that no reforms have taken place. I believe that an extraordinary amount has already taken place over the last 18 months.
NEW DELHI: With economic growth slowing to 7 per cent in the April-June quarter, India Inc said on Monday the subdued performance indicates that the cost of capital needs to come down, demanding a rate cut by RBI. "Both consumption and investment levers need a thrust. While the government stands committed to further the reforms agenda, we need to equally create conditions that provide capital at an affordable cost to our entrepreneurs. "We hope that RBI will usher in a deeper cut in policy rates in its September review of the monetary policy," Ficci President Jyotsna Suri stated.
NEW DELHI: Comparing China with India or vice versa is like comparing a pumpkin with an apple. China is a huge $10 trillion economy, while India is about $2 trillion, and thus it does not look fair to compare the two. However, both the countries are in the BRICS grouping and it would be fair to see where the actual money flow is happening. Experts say the mammoth Chinese economy is showing signs of slowdown, while India appears to be in a sweet spot. "The world has changed. But change keeps happening.

When I looked out the window this morning, there was frost all over the cars and grass. This was alarming, because it was another outdoor-for-ages surveying day. I bundled up, and was able to wear my warm hiking boots this time (don't have to worry about metal if you're surveying with a pencil) and got a ride into town with my friend Mark (thank you!). Good, I hate waiting for the bus when it's not even 8am yet, and the bus is late..and I probably could have slept a bit longer.
Got into town, and adventured to an interesting graveyard near Claypath that had some gravestones being terribly looked after, but the piles of vines made them look like Daleks in hiding, and a small chapel that was filled with windows and nothing much else. Met up with the rest of the surveying class, and we all headed into the castle.
I was far, far too excited to go in there! You have to get a tour to go in it seems, unless you're with someone who lives there...and so this was my first time actually get to go inside! Oh and it was just fantastic. We got to go into an area that students aren't usually allowed to be in as well, where one of the Bishop's (I believe?) garden used to be. We were surveying a wall that is currently being restored because people a while ago re-pointed said wall with materials harder than the sandstone bricks..and they are just in a terrible state now. But you could see various stages of building along the wall, as well as different periods of restoration to the building. It was really cool (both meanings) and not unlike all the site-planning I did in Ballanorris in 2011...which was nice because I had a bit of background, unlike with the geophysics machines last week!
It was a really fantastic day, and after lunch which I ate in the company of a load of small birds which joined me on a bench, we got to take a tour of the castle with another fellow in the class who lives there and is one of the tour guides as well! It was amazing, and we got to go all the way into the C12th Norman chapel, which is what I'd been wanted to see since my very first day in Durham. I loved how high the ceiling was, compared to the relatively small room~ Unfortunately we weren't able to take photos inside the castle, but I can say that we found out that the Great Hall of the Castle was used in Harry Potter too. Aw yeah~
Also, the Castle has the country's oldest still-working kitchen! The screen in front of it is from the end of the C15th as well, which is just..ugh...so cool. I was grinning for the entire tour~

It's been awhile since Air New Zealand released it's fantastic Hobbit-themed in-flight safety video. With the release of the final film in The Hobbit trilogy, the time was ripe to make a new one so they've created what they're billing as, "The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made." It features all the usual safety tips, but it also has cameos by the actors from the film in one of the few safety videos that everyone will actually watch and enjoy.
