By Arlene · Comments (0)
Thursday, May 17th, 2012

By Angela Deutschmann

“We raise something here with you today: the distinction between love and approval.

Approval comes from the ego, every single time. When you approve of someone or something or the direction that the country is going in, or whatever it may be, it is because that is what you yourself would have chosen. Approval is when your intellectual opinion coincides with something that you see in the world. There is a place for approval, indeed. For example it is important that you approve of the environment in which you work, in which you invest so much time.

Learning From the Butterfly – Are You Flying Free or in a Dormant State?

I was in Las Vegas with a friend last year and saw a magnificent sight.

In the atrium of a hotel was a greenhouse filled with beautiful butterflies. Also inside the greenhouse was a butterfly keeper, working diligently at what was obviously a very precious task.

From a small white box, the keeper would gently remove a little transparent envelope. Then, with a pair of scissors, he’d carefully snip off one end of the envelope and softly shake the contents out into a small shrub on the counter. And out fell a butterfly!

The Rules of Hamster Thinking

By Douglas R Kruger

When you’re the older brother, growing up with an unspeakably pretty kid sister is a recipe for stress. You invest in karate lessons and basic firearms training. You start early with the Prozac.

With a twelve-year age gap between us, I had already moved out of the house when I received the inevitable call from my parents, explaining, “…We all knew this day had to come. Lauren’s brought home the first one. We’d like you to come around and meet him, but a word of warning: He’s surly, has a bad attitude, and his hygiene is…questionable!”

This, of course, was Lauren’s very first hamster. Read More→
