POPS A Trifecta Of Gaffes Has Obama Taking Heat
By laughing not with, but at, Obama the mainstream media again demonstrated the type of emotional distance one might almost mistake for journalistic independence. (Conservative pundits have been mocking Obama’s elite iconography for some time.) For patriotic Americans holding traditional value this was a bit of civic blasphemy.The presumptuousness was only outdone by the lack of reverence for existing symbols of the U.S. Obama played the race card - loudly and blatantly. He suggested, with no evidence whatsoever, that Republicans were pointing to his race as a reason to question his fitness for the presidency. That tactic seemed further evidence that his effort to minimize race are over and he now intends to use race as a sword to attack his Republican opponent. It however is a potentially dangerous strategy, certain to turn off some segment of white voters who do not want to be bludgeoned by racial politics. Here Obama has done what weeks of McCain ads and speeches could not

POPSAcharya Vimal Kirthi - Awakened Gaze
Mudra (Mudhra) is a word in Sanskrit language that is used to signify a gesture, or a mystically significant position using the hands or body posture. The word Mudra is derived from the Sanskrit words Mu (as in Mudhaavaham or welcome) meaning bliss, and dhra meaning dissolving, Mudra is that which dissolves duality and brings together the divine and the devotee. Mudras are meaningful gestures with a specific attitude or frame of mind, performed with the hands, eyes and head position, body postures, with bhandans (locks as in hands or legs locked in a particular positon) and adhara (how they support their body in a particular position) and are used in a process of expansion of awareness. Mudras influence the mind through direct stimulation of the brain via the nervous system, and indirect stimulation through the brain via a manipulation of the prana (life force). Mudras in a spiritual context, are not a mere creation of an inventive mind of some Yoga teacher, but originally came spont

POPSQuaker Earth Care Witness/religion Along my path orf finding spirituality, I believe in this organization and faith. Again, I am an Eclectic Christian and am not bound to one organized religion. I believe in spirituality, which for me includes The United Church Of Christ, Liberal Quakerism, Orthodox Quakerism, mystisism and earth based reverance that celebrates God's creation. The use of crystals and other pagan / new age methods is not outside my life's journey. Christ abhored strict adherance to the customary Jewish Law. All are now free!

I believe in Christo Paganism/Eclectic Spirituality. I am intrigued by Shamanism, Native American beliefs, Wicca, Druidism, and other earth based religions.

POPSGod's Creation Admiring all of God's creation brings us closer to His love. We should respect what He has created with reverence and praise. To Him we owe thanks for every leaf, rock, grain of sand, the animals and all things placed here for us to enjoy. Each and every thing that exists upon the earth and throughout the cosmos are His. We are a part of this whole creation. God in nature is a strong spirituality! Some would consider this a Christo Pagan way of thinking and if so, I am Christo Pagan.

POPSChristo Wicca I believe in the acceptance and respect of all religions. I lean towards The United Church Of Christ but find this concept of a blend of beliefs enlightening. I have reverence for the earth and feel the materials of the earth are placed here by a superior being for us to incorporate into our faith based practices and religious rituals. Freedom to all people to worship as they see fit. Blessed be, God Bless, open your hearts and minds and through Jesus Christ and His many diverse means of worshiping Him! We should celebrate this diversity and the beauty of nature which comes from above!

POPSRespect All Religions-Learn To Create Your Own I believe in the aspect of respecting all people's religions and faiths. I do not believe one religion has the right to intrude on others faiths or beliefs. We are all here as one people and while here we are trying to commune with our god, goddess, gods, saints, etc. Respect for others beliefs is a way of respecting your own beliefs or non-beliefs. Again, I cannot emphasize enough that we should all celebrate diversity! I integrate smudging and the burning of incense when I pray. I also find reverence in nature and the Shamanic views. I am a Christian but do not believe we have to adhere to traditions. When you pray, it is a deeply personal thing and objects and images that mean a lot to you should be integrated into the ritual/time of prayer. This makes more sense than repeating words or phrases that are not meaningful to you. I believe my God wants me to use my own mind when worshiping and at prayer.

POPSOn Death (A Letter to Andrew Dean)
"While man keeps to the belief of one God, his reason unites with his creed. He is not shocked with contradictions and horrid stories. His bible is the heavens and the earth. He beholds his Creator in all His works, and everything he beholds inspires him with reverence and gratitude. From the goodness of God to all, he learns his duty to his fellow-man, and stands self-reproved when he transgresses it. Such a man is no persecutor. But when he multiplies his creed with imaginary things, of which he can have neither evidence nor conception, such as the tale of the Garden of Eden, the Talking Serpent, the Fall of Man, the Dreams of Joseph the Carpenter, the pretended Resurrection and Ascension, of which there is even no historical relation - for no historian of those times mentions such a thing - he gets into the pathless region of confusion, and turns either fanatic or hypocrite. He forces his mind, and pretends to believe what he does not believe. This is in general the case with the

POPSDestruction and Desecration of Christian Holy Places Very sad and appalling. For centruries before those sites were protected by Muslims with great reverence. There are signs for those who have eyes to see. Actions speak louder than words. Always. Love is a verb, well so too is hate. The Holy Land was a place of peace prior to 1948. Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in peace for centuries before 1948. Is that not a sign?

POPSHafiz 2 - A new Quote - (by a deeply religious nonbeliever) i have collected 9 selected Hafiz poems in 3 clips from the book "The Gift" 4 wit, wisdom & 4 your joy .. ;-) This deliriously enchanting collection of 250 poems is one of the best books of 1999. Hafiz (1320-1389), according to Daniel Ladinsky (the translator) "We have not come here to take prisoners," writes Hafiz, "but to surrender ever more deeply to freedom and joy." In "Your Mother and My Mother," the poet writes: "Fear is the cheapest room in the house. / I would like to see you living / In better conditions."

POPSResearcher's Analysis of al Qaeda Images Reveals Surprises Neal Krawetz, a researcher and computer security consultant, gave an interesting presentation today at the BlackHat security conference in Las Vegas about analyzing digital photographs and video images for alterations and enhancements. Error level analysis involves re-saving an image at a known error rate (90%, for example), then subtracting the re-saved image from the original image to see every pixel that changed and the degree to which it changed. The modified versions will indicate a different error level than the original image. Source code for Krawetz's program . Krawetz's BlackHat presentation (PDF) .

POPS'Baby hatch' highlights Japan fears over adoption Confucianism, which spread to Japan from China and Korea more than a thousand years ago, emphasises the importance of a child's relationship with its birth parents and reverence for ancestry When women give birth they must enter the child's name on their family register, a powerful incentive for single women to end a pregnancy or even abandon a newborn rather than risk its being discovered by a potential employer or future husband For much of Japan's history, adoption has therefore remained within the extended family, with childless couples often taking in a nephew or other relative to carry on their family name or business, rather than because the child was in need of care. "Special adoption," of needy non-relatives was not introduced until 1989 and only a few hundred cases are approved each year, compared with three to four thousand in the United Kingdom, which has around half Japan's population.
