I found that poetry was an avenue, an opportunity, kind of a link to a higher consciousness. So I began to read poetry and, and looking at myself and examining my own existence, kind of sorting out my own identity. I began to write my own poetry. And existence is such a magical and mysterious and wondrous thing that poetry help to elucidate, help to explain the magic of the world and all of its varied aspects.

And it continued to inspire me and ignite in me a sense of joy and passion as I explored all of these adventures, so to speak, of life.

The Vegan Society does many things to help people shift to the vegan lifestyle, including developing a trademark system to label foods that are purely vegan. It allows clear labeling; It allows for consumers to make the right choice. And it allows not just vegans but any consumer, because it fits their diet requirements, or even on a religious basis. And the longevity of this is that the more products that become “vegan suitable”, the more it’s having an impact on the environment and in the long run it’s saving animal lives and reducing animal suffering.

Dr. Johnson believes that besides being able to enhance creativity and heal, lucid dreams can be spiritual experiences. Lucid dreaming can bring us closer to God, or our own idea of the Divine. Another wonderful thing to try, if you can in a lucid dream, is to meditate. And that can bring you to these states of absolute oneness and bliss. And these states are very rejuvenating, because you wake up feeling doubly alive. So, there are some amazing journeys to be had in lucid dreaming, and everyone’s journey is slightly different.

Supreme Master Ching Hai explained why seals are so vital to our planet during a 2009 interview with the Irish journalist Louise Kings. “The seals have conveyed that it is important for them to be allowed to stay on Earth - not for themselves, but so they can continue doing their job, which is to keep the Earth in balance with love. You see, the seals and the whales emanate an incredible, great power of divine love, an unconditional love that could be likened to that between a mother and her child. They anchor and distribute this wave of love across our planet. And it is this love that is sustaining our planet and keeping it from destruction up to now. So , we should never ever hunt and kill these noble, gracious helpers of humankind and the planet.”

You cannot even imagine how many lifetimes I’ve had, and how many lives I’ve died, how many lives I was born. But I have not done anything good with the bodies that I had, through my life and through my death. So if this time, today, I could use my skin to help you and many other people, then that’s the best thing. That makes me very happy. I, myself, sincerely sacrifice this skin and the fur to save many lives. May my merit be shared among all beings so that they will be able to be liberated, and stay away from the birth and death and all the suffering, and then they will go to Nirvana.

“The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”is one of the foundations of Hinduism’s classical Yoga philosophy, expressed in aphorisms, which reveals Patanjali’s exceptional knowledge of existing spiritual traditions and the best practical exercises and approaches to spiritual practice, wishing to attain inner peace, self-mastery, and spiritual freedom. “From that comes glorified mind, power of the organs independently of the body, and conquest of nature. The Siddhis (powers) are attained by birth, herbs, power of words, mortification or concentration. The change into another species is by the filling in of nature. Good deeds, etc, are not the direct causes in the transformation of nature.”

And this person, Devadatta, was extremely arrogant also. He wanted everybody to respect him as much as the Buddha. He wanted to be equal with the Buddha. Even though he didn't have spiritual merit as the Buddha. If a person is jealous and arrogant like this how can he be Buddha anyway, right? Already. Not to talk about inside, the outside is bad already. And he wanted to kill another person, a Buddha. No matter what, even if it's not the Buddha you can't just kill a person, right? Right. Violent. It's bad.
