A calligraphy near Rumi’s tomb reads: “after my death, don’t seek my tomb in the earth, for my grave is in the hearts of the men of mystical knowledge.”

Santa Dreams
The platypus and the echidna have huge brains given their low intelligence. Scientists speculate that they need this higher brain to IQ ratio, because they do not have dreams to aid in the learning process.

The answer is simple: the past. – A.H. Almaas[ad#post468]

Earth Mantra
The planet that hums by Robert Coontz from “New Scientist” September 11, 1999
THEY LIVE UNDERGROUND
They are everywhere but seem to come from nowhere. They barely exist, but never leave. If sounds have shadows, they are the shadows of a sound.
Researchers call them the background free oscillations of the Earth. But last year, when a pair of Japanese geophysicists named Naoki Suda and Kazunari Nawa dredged them out of a mass of seismic data, some people called them a hum. That’s a comforting thought: a mystic Om, perhaps, or just the warm, cozy sound of a planet going about its business.
What’s peculiar about the notes in the Hum is that they have no obvious source. Not earthquakes, not nuclear explosions, nothing. The vibrations triggered by cataclysmic events fade away to nothing, but the Hum continues, regardless.

Buddha Pendants
I received an email today from my friend, Cathleen Bunt, over in Hawaii. Cathleen is a gifted artist. Here’s her email:
Here’s a great gift for someone into spirituality. The Buddha head pendant.
Available in 18k gold or sterling silver. With or without a stone in the third eye. The above pendant has a white diamond, below are yellow, teal blue and pink diamonds. I also have black diamonds and rubies. The pendants are about 1 inch high.
These pendants have a nice weight and a substantial feel. I fix each wax myself, carefully going over the face to correct any imperfections. Then it’s cast and cleaned up, here in my shop and given my signature finish
of sandblasting and raising the fine gold or silver. It’s a very unique gift.If you’re interested please call soon, as I have a limited supply.

Practice Random Acts of Blindness
I’ve written before about the Inner Critic, the run amok judgmental part of our psyche called the superego.This holiday season give the inner critic a rest. Practice Random Acts of Blindness toward others and yourself.
Turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to a situation or two where that pesky critical part wants to start raging on about.
In the spirit of the Holidays, give the gift that keeps on giving – Kindness.
