POPSWhat Does The Red Dot On The Forehead Mean ? Worship of intellect is trusting your own intellect AND other's intellect, especially in the fields you do not have enough knowledge. Intellectual honesty and its worship have been corner stones of Hindu thought. 'Fully THINK (ponder) on what I said and then do as YOU deem fit'. Indian scriptures ask 'Drushtipootam nyasetpaadam, vastra pootam pibet jalam' - Look (think) before you leap (embark on any activity) and 'filter the water with a cloth before you drink'. Kathopanashad calls intellect as the charioteer. Body is a chariot, Indriyas (sense/connotative organs) are horses, mind is the reins to be used to control them, Atman (Self) is the rider within, and Vishay (objects of senses) are the tracks on which horses run. It asks us to overcome the ego, be selfless, yet asks to do all actions/ work/ worship with intellect.

POPSKoh Samui Hotel Reservation – Get One At The Fasting Growing Tourist Destination
Blessed with long beaches, attractive coral reefs, exotic coconut tree farms and majestic Buddhist status, Koh Samui is one of the fastest growing tourist spots in the world. Whether you are looking for a honeymoon destination or large Buddha towers, you are sure to see them all here. Koh Samui is the 3rd biggest island in Thailand. Its rise as a popular tourist spot was nothing short of a miracle. During the initial part of 70s, it was a mere agricultural island. Rising economy and space shortage in larger cities as the years passed, made holiday goers look out for more peaceful areas in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Majestic villas, fairways, hill side hotels and other holiday gateways are the reasons for it to be one of the most popular tourist spots in the world. Now there is a big queue for reservation in Koh Samui’s resorts such as the Park Samui. Tourists throughout the world come to this spot. Due to its astounding nightlife and grand shopping malls,

POPSSPD Parteifilz-Regional: “Mit öffentlichen Mitteln wird ungeniert Parteiwerbung betrieben”
(pdh) Welch ein Zufall. In der letzten Beilage „Odenwald regional“ vor der Bundestagswahl in dem an alle Haushalte im Odenwaldkreis verteilten kostenlosen Wochenblatts „Journal“ kommt fast nur noch die SPD vor, auf sieben Seiten wird wie seit drei Jahren genüsslich auf die Errungenschaften der Sozialdemokraten und der von ihnen geführten Betriebe und Eigenbetriebe im Odenwaldkreis hingewiesen. Nunmehr wurde die Ernte eingefahren für eine einmalige Kraftanstrengung, die die Genossen viel Energie und Durchhaltevermögen gekostet hat und die auch mit reichlich Ärger verbunden war. Das war geschehen: Einige Wochen vor der Kommunalwahl im Jahr 2006 erschien plötzlich als Beilage einer kostenlos im Kreis verteilten Wochenzeitung das zunächst harmlos erscheinende „Odenwald regional“. Beim genauen Hinsehen jedoch entpuppte sich die Beilage als ziemlich dreiste Werbung für sozialdemokratisch geführte Eigenbetriebe des Odenwaldkreises und relativ ungenierte Reklame für d

POPSFed Up God "To Turn Buddha" Asked whether He felt guilty for abandoning his followers who have ridgedly followed the ancient text book 'The Bible' for centuries, God replied sheepishly "I never finished reading it if I'm honest...It got a bit boring half way through so I just skipped to the end. I prefered Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code'...that was pretty cool". Whether God's decision to move on will destroy Christianity remains to be seen, but in these initial stages the Vatican, at least, seems calm. A spokesman said "To be honest, we are pretty sure we can blag our way through this, we've been making shit up to justify our attrocities for years..."

POPSThe end of Death The psychologist Ernest Becker wrote in his pulitzer prize winning book, “The Denial of Death,” that in the face of an acute and agonizing awareness of his mortality, man has developed three main devices to sustain his sanity.These illusions act as temporary solutions to the problem of death. The Religious Solution The Religious Solution invents the concept of God and projects onto him the power to grant us what we all really want: the ability to bestow eternal life on ourselves an our loved ones; to be freed from disease, decay and death. The Romantic Solution The second illusion Becker identifies - when we no longer believe in God, we then turn our lovers into gods and goddesses.When in love, man can “forget himself in the delirium of sex, and still be marvelously quickened in the experience”. We are temporarily relieved from the drag of “the animality that haunts our victory over decay and death.” When in love, we become immortal gods.

POPSBrad Warner: "Enlightenment experiences are crap."
More: I have no problem with people making money, even if they're Buddhist teachers and even if they're earning their money by being Buddhist teachers. What I have a problem with is the way Buddhism is being turned into a commodity. Enlightenment is being sold like mouth wash. The girls aren't running after you? Try Enlightenment and you'll never be without a date on Saturday night! …It's not that hard to induce a whizz-bang experience through hypnotism or other means. If you mesmerize someone and feed their ego with the notion that they are Enlightened and that they can speak with the voice of God Himself, that person will have a pretty amazing time. If a genuine Zen Master certifies that experience as Kensho that seals the deal. Also having paid lots of money for the experience makes the person far less likely to want to admit it might not have been all it was supposed to be. This is so fucking obvious I don't even know why anyone has to point it out.
