Heart of Gold (ELTA) ™ wonders:


It seems that dispite all the evidence that most of the bible is mythology taken from other mythology, there is still a large segment of the population that just can’t seem to see the evidence. The premise of the christ story, along with views regarding the after life and the even the commandments being written by the hand of god can all be attributed to earlier religions that the Jews came into contact with. This leaves little doubt that the Jews and christians were plaguerists, as was common at that time.

But christians refuse to see that. They only see what can be interpreted through the bible. My prognosis is that they have what I call Biblicus Stucktofaceitis. It is the result of bibles constantly being smashed into ones head to the point where it becomes a part of the face and obstructs your vision of the world around you. With your vision impaired, you fail to see the writing on the walls in Egypt, and believe that dead people tried to kill newborn babies. All in favor!

Evolved from the age-old concept of matchmaking and blind date, online dating has progressed both quantitatively and qualitatively over the years, and is destined to continue to do so for years to come. Whereas online dating originated as nothing more than scanning names and pictures of singles, popular websites such as MySpace and Friendster have demonstrated how features such as searchable databases, personalized pages, and blogs can benefit those searching for love online.

There are other dating alternatives out there besides online dating, such as speed dating, being setup in a blind date by friends/relatives, or simply just meeting people in a bar/club. However, because online dating is so convenient and easy to use it has become one of the most popular matchmaking services. Clearly, online dating has come a long way since its inception. What else can we expect from the industry as technology continues to advance?

• Improved accountability – As the online dating industry expands and improves, we will see fewer instances of members not being who they claim to be. A large factor is due to the fact that online dating sites are beginning to understand the necessity of performing background checks on their members. However, a growing trend toward instant messaging and other forms of communication can be observed. This trend is also predicted to turn to video and audio conversations online. Ideally, being able to talk face-to-face via webcam such as using speed dating and blind date service provided by 15minuteDate.com will weed out predators and encourage members to be more realistic about who they are.

• More mobility – People can now use cell phones to message friends, check email, and even browse the mobile web. It is also predicted that cell phones also will become another major method of online matchmaking.

• Better searchability – In recent years, websites with extensive and searchable databases have transformed online dating. Sites such as MySpace and Friendster allow members to fill out a profile, which other members can search to find people with compatible interests and lifestyles. This trend toward improved searchability will continue as technology and demand usher in new standards of online matchmaking. Thus, when users are matched online, they will less likely to be matched up in a random blind date.

• More personal interactions – Online dating sites are beginning to realize the importance of personalized interaction. The trend toward personal expression — as evidenced in detailed online dating profiles, MySpace personal pages, and blogs — will continue, allowing members to choose their dates more and more on the basis of compatibility.

It wasn’t very long ago that most people expressed suspicion of online dating. Meeting people online posed a safety threat because they might not be who they said they were — not to mention marked you as desperate in the eyes of many skeptics. However, as the Internet has become the basis for more and more personal, social, and business interactions, online dating has also become more acceptable — and, as a necessity, more safe. It is predicted that these trends, triggered by technological advancements and the growing interest in online dating, will continue for many years to come. Who knows — by the time your grandchildren are dating, perhaps online dating will be the standard, rather than the exception!

15minuteDate is a new concept in online matchmaking that combines the best of blind date and speed dating. By using the service, users will be matched up in a 15 minute blind date/speed dating session where they can meet their blind date face-to-face via webcam.

The Stool in the Bible:

The Stool is mentioned in the Bible as excrement or dung.

The Lord will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone; the Lord said: I will spread dung upon your faces, they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you!, Bake your cake using human excrement or Bake your cake using cow manure instead of human excrement, dig a hole and cover up your excrement and burn with fire the flesh, blood, skin, and dung of the sin offering

The Stool in the Quran.

The Quran mentions the stool of the cattle once. The Quran says that the cattle produce their milk from a mixture of the digested food and the blood.

To the best of my knowledge, the Quran is the first book on earth that describes in few words how the milk is produced.

Nevertheless, the Quran says that all the messengers sent by Allah used to eat food, i.e., they used to defecate stool. Production of stool upon eating food is a characteritic phenomenon of human beings. Allah, the Lord does not eat i.e. never produce stool.

Also, the Angels do not eat i.e. never produce stool. All the messengers (Prophets) ate food i.e. produced stool. Jesus used to eat food i.e. produced stool. This means that He was no more than a Messenger and neither God nor Son of God.

All the messengers (Prophets) ate food i.e. produced stool.

Surah 21:7-8

[7] Before thee, also, the messengers We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: if ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message.

[8] Nor did We give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they exempt from death (nor were they immortals).

Surah 25:20

And the Messengers whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? For Allah is One Who sees (all things).

Jesus used to eat food i.e. produced stool. This means that He was no more than a Messenger and neither God nor Son of God.

Surah 5:75

Al-Masih, the son of Maryam (Jesus), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His Signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!

The Quran mentions the stool of the cattle once. The Quran says that the cattle produce their milk from a mixture of the digested food and the blood.

To the best of my knowledge, the Quran is the first book on earth that describes in few words how the milk is produced

Surah 16:66

SHAKIR: and most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle; we give you to drink of what is in their bellies– from betwixt the feces and the blood– pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink

PICKTHAL: and lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. we give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers.

YUSUFALI: and verily in cattle (too) will ye find an instructive sign. from what is within their bodies between excretions and blood, we produce, for your drink, milk, pure and agreeable to those who drink it.

Back to the main topic of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: “Is the Quran quoted from the Bible “?

Peter Crump wonders:


Faux wood blinds are the most common form of blinds used as window coverings. This is because they are the perfect alternative to wood blinds and they are cheap. Fauxwood window blinds are made of vinyl material or a combination of vinyl and hardwood. They are called faux wood blinds because they look like wooden blinds. However, they are more durable than real wood and are suitable for all rooms of the home, even those with high levels of humidity. Faux wood blinds are also much easier to clean than wood blinds.

The main reason that faux wood blinds have become so popular is that homeowners like the look of blinds to their windows and the fauxwood blinds are cheap. Faux wood blinds can cost 30% less than wood blinds. They also last a lot longer than blinds made of real wood, which makes them really cost effective. An occasional cleaning and dusting will keep faux wood window blinds in perfect condition. In fact, these window blinds are so durable, you can take them down from the window and wash them in the bathtub.

You can get fauxwood blinds in sizes to fit the smallest or largest window. While you can purchase them in the store in sizes almost the same as that of your window, you can also have them custom made. Custom made faux wood blinds are not expensive either so you can dress your windows in the perfect manner without incurring extra costs. They are available in mini blinds or vertical blinds and you can also get these in motorized versions.

Installing faux wood blinds is a simple affair. You just have to decide where you are going to mount the brackets – inside or outside the facings on your window. Most of the faux wood window blinds come in measurements to fit snugly inside the facings, so if you want them outside you may have to look for cheap faux wood blinds that are an inch or so wider. Once you mount the brackets, then you simply slide in the head rail of the blind and insert the small covering that keeps it from falling out. Then you can attach the wand used to open and close the slats and you’re all set.

Whether or not you install the faux wood blinds inside or outside the facing, you can use valances and drapes with these blinds. If you purchase the fauxwood vertical blinds, then this comes with a covering for the head rail, so you don’t need to have a valance. Most homeowners do use a small valance or topper over both faux wood blinds and real wood blinds, just to suit the décor of the room and to add to its ambiance.

Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya wonders:


In the previous pages it has been mentioned that Gayatri is not some Goddess, ghost etc. but is Adi Shakti that has manifested from Brahman or God. Gayatri is the root cause or substratum of all material objects and because of its existence there is movement, energy, advancement, inspiration and conversion in the inert-conscious world. Just as the machine called radio in one’s house contacts the all-pervasive ether vibrations in the cosmos, which helps one to hear radio broadcasts not only of one’s own country but of other countries too. Similarly when the soul force of an individual comes in contact with the all-pervasive Gayatri of the cosmos, it understands clearly the movements of subtle nature. And when one learns how to aptly utilize this subtle Divine Energy as per one’s will, one can attain all wealth pertaining to the material world, psyche and the soul. The path that leads to this wealth is called Gayatri worship.

For more scientific e-books visit: http://www.shriramsharma.com/ (GOOGLE PR 4) and http://www.awgp.org/ (Google 5)

Many people opine that since our goal is attaining God, vision of the soul and liberation while yet living, why should we delve into the subtle nature of Gayatri? We should only worship God. Deep thinkers should understand that Brahman (God in his all-pervasive soul form) is taintless, untouched, pure, formless and beyond the 3 Gunas. Such a God neither loves anyone nor hates anyone. He is merely a witness and cause of his creation. One can never directly attain such a formless God because between God and the living being (Jeeva) there is the intense veil of subtle nature (energy). In order to go beyond this intense veil we will have to make apt use of materials of nature. The mind, intellect, psyche, ego, imagination, meditation, subtle body, 6 Chakras (plexuses), image of our beloved God, devotion, sacred sentiments, worship, vows, rituals, spiritual practices are all creations of Maya (God’s power of illusion). How can one attain the formless God without taking apt help of all these? Just as in order to fly in air we need an air plane, in the same way, in order to attain the formless God (Brahman) we will have to take help of basic spiritual practices. One can attain formless God only after going beyond this veil via Gayatri worship. The truth is this that the experience of realization takes place only in the womb of Gayatri. After raising oneself spiritually, one’s subtle sense organs and its experiential power, too disappear. Hence those who wish to attain God and salvation are known to worship the admixture of Gayatri and formless God in the forms of Radhey-Shyam, Seeta-Ram, Lakshmi-Narayan etc. A spiritual aspirant can fully merge with the formless God when the formless God desires to become “one from many” and thus he encompasses all individual souls into its single formless nature. Before this, all individual souls can only attain proximity, similar form and unity with a God who has a name and form i.e. Saguna Brahman. In this manner we are forced to worship the admixture of Gayatri with Brahman having a name and form. All those spiritual practices that help in attaining such a God will be via the subtle natured Gayatri. Hence it is not apt to think that in order to attain the formless Brahman, there is no need of Gayatri worship. In fact Gayatri worship is a must. If someone insists on ignoring or opposing a God with name and form know for sure that that is his own opinion. But it is impossible to ignore the Gayatri principle when one sets off to attain the formless God.

Many individuals say that we carry out spiritual practices ceaselessly. We do not desire any fruits of our actions and hence why should we take help of subtle nature? Such people should realize that although they have no desire for material benefits, yet they do have the desire to attain God. One can never perform any action without thinking of its results. Even if one gets something, the result will be nothing but a waste of time and energy. The meaning of true desire less action is with reference to divine Sattva Guna and spiritual desires. Such pure desires come in the first leg “Hreem” of Gayatri i.e. in the Saraswati category. Hence the worship of desire less sentiments is not outside the limit of Gayatri worship.

Scientists who have substantial knowledge of the Science of Mantra-chanting know that it is chanted via the various organs of throat, palate, lips, teeth, base of the tongue etc. When one chants a Mantra, the nerve fibers of all those organs that manifest its sound, spread out in all corners of the body. In this widespread area are present many glands which get influenced by the pure sound vibrations of Mantra chanting. When these subtle glands of an individual are diseased or have been destroyed, the Mantra chanting of such individuals is not smooth and this is called stammering. The body has many small/big, visible/invisible glands. Great Yogis fully understand that in those sheaths there are many special hidden storehouses of energy. The 6 Chakras (plexuses) pertaining to the Sushumna (subtle spinal region) are well-known and there are many glands too in the body. The chanting of various words (Mantras) influences these varied glands and thus the hidden storehouse of energy in these glands get activated. It is on this basis that Mantras have been designed. There are 24 letters in the Gayatri Mantra. It is related to those 24 glands in the body which when activated, radiate energies pertaining to light of pure thinking. By one-pointedly chanting the Gayatri Mantra, the guitar of the body starts giving off sound vibrations in 24 areas and such tunes emanate, which influence the important elements of the subtle world. This very influence is the casual influence of the fruits of Gayatri worship.

When you sing the Deepak Raag (an Indian classical music tune), a doused flamed lamp is re-lit; by singing the tune Megh-Malhaar we can get rain. With the sound of flute, snakes starting dancing, deer lose their consciousness due to ecstasy and cows give more milk. When one hears a cuckoo singing, our sexual passion is awakened. America’s Dr. Hutchinson gained fame when he succeeded in curing many incurable and painful diseases using music therapy. Indian Tantriks play on a Thaali (big steel plate) placed on a big pot with a special speed and this helps in curing patients who have been afflicted by ghosts or bitten by venomous creatures etc. The reason being that the vibrations of musical words take with it subtle nature along with atoms of its own kind so as to circumambulate ether and reach its substratum center. Over there one finds a special electrical force which tends to influence diseased parts under special circumstances. Similarly this is the very reason why Mantra chanting too gives amazing results. When one chants the Gayatri Mantra, a similar special energy manifests. While chanting the Gayatri Mantra 2 parts of the mouth are at work and it is over here that subtle nerve fibers activate some special glands. When vibrations are sent out from these areas, a cyclic Yogic music of Vedic meter flows in the ether principle and in a few moments bring back the army of its similar nature which in turn has returned after having circumambulated the cosmos. This helps us attain desired goals. The 5 elemental (material) flows of the powerful vibrations of word-music and the sentiment, spiritual endeavor, relationship based on worship of the subtle nature of soul force makes Gayatri Energy so powerful that it is a great blessing for its devotees.

Man’s body has untold extraordinary powers. This fact has now been accepted by modern day scientists too. These energies are under the control of certain glands/centers of the human body. Every letter of the Gayatri Mantra helps in influencing one or the other important centers of energy. Just as when you place your finger on a key of a typewriter and a specific letter gets typed, in the same way certain words influence the energy centers of our body. Following is a table that enumerates the relationship of every letter of the Gayatri Mantra corresponding to a bodily gland and its energy.

No. Letter Name of Gland Energy present in the Gland

1. Tat Tapini Success

2. Sa Safalta Enterprise

3. Vi Vishwa Nourishment

4. Tur Tushti Well-being

5. Va Varda Yoga

6. Ray Revati Love

7. N Sukshma Wealth

8. Yam Jnana Radiance

9. Bhar Bharga Raksha

10. Go Gomat Intellect

11. Day Devika Sense control

12. Va Varahi Steadfastness

13. Say Sinhani Concentration

14. Dhee Dhyan Vital Force

15. Ma Maryada Self-Control

16. Hee Sfuta Penance

17. Dhi Medha Far-sightedness

18. Yo Yogmaya Awakening

19. Yo Yogini Creation

20. Naha Dharini Smoothness

21. Pra Prabhava Ideal

22. Cho Ushma Daring

23. Da Drishya Discrimination

24. Yat Niranjan Service

Gayatri activates the above mentioned 24 energies in a spiritual aspirant. These qualities are so important that along with their activation, infinite number of prosperities, divine glories (Siddhis) and wealth is attained. Gayatri worship is not blind faith but is in fact a scientific mode of worship and one definitely benefits from it. Hence in Indian scriptures it is called the Kamadhenu (wish-fulfilling cow) of planet Earth.

In the Puranas (Indian Mythology) it is said that in heaven, the demigods possess the Kamadhenu cow. It gives nectarine milk and because the demigods drink it daily, they remain contented, happy and prosperous. This cow has a very special characteristic wherein if a person comes in its vicinity with some desire in his mind, those desires are immediately fulfilled like the proverbial Kalpvriksha (wish-fulfilling tree). Thus the Kamdhenu cow fulfills the desires of all who approach it.

This Kamadhenu cow is Gayatri. That man who worships the demigod of this Gayatri Mahashakti of divine nature will definitely get the chance to drink the spiritual milk of Gayatri Mata’s (mother’s) breast. Such a person will not face any hardships. The Soul is bliss manifest. Such a person’s character is full of bliss. As soon as sorrow is overcome, a person experiences his true soul nature. He realizes that he is the cosmic soul and not the physical body that has a limiting name and form. The demigods of heaven incessantly experience ecstasy. In the same way human beings too can experience soul bliss while dwelling on planet Earth if only all the causes of sorrow are destroyed. The Kamadhenu cow in the form of Gayatri worship helps mankind to overcome all hardships.

Poem # 1: History Repeats Itself
Reminiscing
Silently covering up an oblivion deep inside
Excruciating
The pain is too slow
I’m numb
I can’t feel the pain
But it sure is irritating me

The candle’s flickering
The wind’s blowing
The darkness’s spreading
The silence deafening

I am trying to find my way out
I may not find my way out
I should find my way out
I would find my way out
I can’t find my way out

Blindness
Too much sight to see
But too little details to notice about
I’m too far
But every thing’s inches away
Too much sounds to hear
But too little thoughts to listen to

History repeats itself

History against personality
History against norms
History against reality
History transcending into clamor
History prevailing
while the future’s vague

Repeating
Repeating over and over again
Repeated hymns
Repeated voices
Repeated swirls
Repeated chaos
Over and over again

Itself
Itself in the making
Itself destroying
Itself dying
Itself surviving
Itself recovering
Itself reviving
Itself resurrecting

I am
I am now
I am today
I am tomorrow
I am out of time
I am dead
I am alive
I am weak
I am helpless
I am foolish
I am stupid
I am dumb

Poem # 2: The New Face of Insanity
Piercing itself through the middle of nonsense
Where ideas are vague and emotions are dense
Creating an abyss beyond all silence
Epitomizing actions full of pretense

A different world is already projected
A place where no one is directly connected
A phony little world with a little mask created
Yet deep inside, they’re bleeding and completely jaded

In the darkest corner of one’s own mind
Are scars and blisters of what’s left behind
Seeking for comfort and hoping to find
The spot where real and imaginations unwind

A fire in the ice and a chill in a flame
Reasoning sank when all emotions came
Defending the weakness of our personal name
Only exposing our ego to shame

As silence prevails, the feelings collide
With a sense of oblivion no one can provide
Hypocrisy kills and so is our pride
A slice of nostalgic suffering inside

A different world, a different capacity
A different side of all humanity
Remolding rebellious into perversity
Clearly the new face of the same insanity…

There is no way to appreciate or understand an article better than when it is written by an author who is represented by an avatar. Without a clue to the identity of the writer the reader is forced to pass judgment only on what is written. This poses no problem for a person that possesses the ability to analyze what is read. But for the groupie an article that does not identify the author creates a state of terror for them, because they must know the identity of the writer. Some groupies only feel comfortable reading an article written by a certain gender. Others demand to know the religion or racial group of the author before reading the article. These groupies by their practice censor the independent writer who attempts to approach a subject fairly.

There are many reasons for those that are now using an avatar on the Internet, the most common one is fear of being identified. Having a face displayed for millions to see makes a person uncomfortable. Some people that use avatars believe that they are homely and would prefer that their faces be hidden. Others prefer to stay anonymous for a variety of reasons, but few do it for the sake of creating an objective atmosphere for their readership. I doubt that there is any successful writer in the media that displays an avatar as an identity unless it is backed up with a profile.

I think it would be better for the country if the presidential candidates were represented by avatars. In that way only what was said would be important. Their speeches could be heard over a device that would disguise the sound of their real voice. In no way would they be allowed to disclose their background or social status. Even a homeless person could become the president if he had something important to say. If this method of electing a president was put into law we surely would have a talented man leading our nation.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. But that picture can hide the importance of what a thousand written words are saying. A face can be deceiving because it rarely offers us the time to understand what is behind it. Written words can be examined and analyzed for the quality of its content. The benefit of the avatar is that it can help focus the attention of readers on what is being said. The avatar also destroys the narrowness of the groupie who is blind to what is written by those outside their group. A avatar has no race or religion, it is completely neutral. Future writers on the Internet might be required to use an avatar. It is needed in times where facial imagery has replaced words.

And dare a leap of sunny hope
With a bungee cord of rope

Dangle, and see the clouds
Not parting, soul in meatself
Not departing, trapped, embroiled
As blood drips, it still sticks

Ahhh, refreshing crack does not relieve
The roiling eye darts sleeve and sleeve
And consciousness limp form does not leave
Sleep does not come, and eyes simply bleed

Mercy would destroy, faith would carry
Yet I stay, no Charon’s ferry
Just the mangled face in the mirror
And the strings strung from starlit sky

If moonlit maw would consume me
Call me up, and abuse me
I would not care, should I be freed
From the rot and pain of mortal toil.

So I hang, time not passing
Eternal life too everlasting
Death, oblivion, how I wish,for I see
only my shadow’s mockery
Please, please, please tell me WHY you have any opinions about it, good or bad, I could care less, just reasons! (if you just want two points, though, it is fine if you don’t, I guess…)
If, on the off chance, someone else actually answers it, keep in mind that the poem is not meant to be taken seriously (hence the sporadic rhyme scheme, sing-songy language, and diction that borders the line between morbid and simply ridiculous).
Thanks for your opinion Buppy….your completely baseless opinion…
