The Four Noble Truths are not any religion at all. They are a methodology: 1. to understand the problem; 2. to realize the origination of the problem; 3. to cease the problem only if the origination of the problem is ceased; 4. to establish the procedure and path to cease the origination of the problem; 5. to practice the right path to cease the problem; 6. to liberate from the problem. Let's explore the original teachings of the historical Buddha Sakyamunibased on the Suttas (or Sutras) from or …

Libertarians: We are not primarily political, we simply respect property rights and thus live by a code of non-aggression. Property rights are sacred to us because civilization is built on social cooperation and social cooperation is only made possible by the clear delineation and respect of property rights. Entrepreneurs: in a general sense, we are the creative and energetic members of society seeking to produce value; weather it be economic, social or personal. The Society of Libertari …

If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness. Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions. Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designe …

It's great that you're a Libertarian, a constitutionalist concerned with the erosion of freedom, a pacifist, an anarcho-curious minarchist, *BUT* please understand that the point of this group is to be restricted to anarcho-capitalists only. This is not a statement about your worth as a human being, we ju …

Most of us agree that most people, in this day and age, are under a toxic load.  We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins not only in industrial chemical exposures, but in our every day life including our food, laundry detergent, hair care products, etc but in the air we breath, the water we drink and the beds we lay in. The cost of these toxins is not completely understood nor should it be underestimated!  Toxins have the capacity to rewire us - to change our thoughts, behaviors and de …

SPIRITUAL LESSONS FOR THE HEART In life and school, we are taught algebra, science, how to play sports, how to write a business plan, but when it comes to knowledge of the heart, we are left to experiment in the world without the tools to understand our hearts and those of others. We watch our parents, our society and television, and we only become more confused, traumatized and withdrawn emotionally. This is not knowledge – this is a role that we are trying to fit into and become. But it is …

Join me, Billy Monks, to explore the spiritual path of homosexuality. Together we will explore how homosexuality is an integral part humanity and celebrate the gift of a dual spirit. After working with my gay brothers for more than 20 years as a healer, ordained spiritual minister, massage therapist and hypnotherapist, I have found that the common thread running through our challenges in society is our need to connect. The majority of us have either left or were turned away from mainstream relig …

With U.S. unemployment and layoffs reaching historically high levels, American workers are less secure in their jobs than ever before.  Experienced American workers in their prime earning years are being “downsized”, “right-sized” and “capsized”, even after years of dedicated and loyal service, because of structural factors beyond their control. And yet, these workers represent “human capital” ready, willing and able to continue to contribute to American Society and to the global economy. The Am …
