A THANK YOU NOTE

Last updated on: October 18, 2008 at 4:49 pm By Rev. Dr. Todd Littleton

LETTER TO PEOPLE AT DRISHTIKONE I feel much honored to be the bearer of good news, excellent news to us from our Supreme. At four am today a strong inner message illuminated this mind. Every member who is part of this wonderful site is undoubtedly a winner. In order to continue with this process I’m compelled to transmit the following insight. We must understand a little bit more the amazing biography of our soul personality, because by achieving this task, our important missions in life can be properly channeled by receiving more spiritual power to touch people’s minds and hearts, so they can become more actors than spectators. Our dynamic actions will make many blindfolds being removed from our brothers and sisters, and these new reborn human beings will eventually do the same with other human beings. The domino effect used in a very positive way. There are definitely many manners in which we can help comprehend our personal spiritual stories, so what is next is only one of the many. Read more

Dilemma of enforced incentives for jerks in the current economy

Last updated on: October 18, 2008 at 4:01 pm By Desh Kapoor

World is in a bad recession and financial turmoil. Roubini, Professor of Economics at Stern School of Business in NY acknowledges this fact and in fact goes further to say that we may be looking at a Global Depression. Here are some of his suggestions on how to tackle this situation: - another rapid round of interest-rate cuts of at least 150 basis points on average globally; - a temporary blanket guarantee of all deposits while insolvent financial institutions that must be shut down are distinguished from distressed but solvent institutions that must be partially nationalised and given injections of public capital; - a rapid reduction of insolvent households' debt burden, preceded by a temporary freeze on all foreclosures; - massive and unlimited provision of liquidity to solvent financial institutions; - public provision of credit to the solvent parts of the corporate sector in order to avoid a short-term debt refinancing crisis for solvent but illiquid corporations and small businesses; - a massive direct government fiscal stimulus that includes public works, infrastructure spending, unemployment benefits, tax rebates to lower-income households, and provision of grants to cash-strapped local governments; - an agreement between creditor countries running current-account surpluses and debtor countries running current-account deficits to maintain an orderly financing of deficits and a recycling of creditors' surpluses to avoid disorderly adjustment of such imbalances. While his suggestions are pointed and useful.. and use empirical evidence from 1930s etc to fight this time of uncertainty but it also presents some issues. Read more

Obama uses humor to roast McCain at charity dinner

Last updated on: October 17, 2008 at 3:28 pm By Desh Kapoor

People have said that Barack Obama is a very humor loving and funny guy although that does not come out in his appearances and speeches. Finally, in the "Alfred E Smith Charity Dinner" he came out in his own and in the act also simply beat the heck out of John McCain! He did so with great skill! Enjoy that speech.. Read more

How Indian media is sold to outside influences!

Last updated on: October 17, 2008 at 7:08 am By Desh Kapoor

I have a FIRM belief that the national media in India does not have the national interest at its heart! And in my interactions with them I was more and more convinced that a predominant number of journalists were intellectual prostitutes! In fact, once while throwing a PR party for preparation of a IPO, a journalist came to me threatening that he wanted to write a bad story on our company.... but he could be persuaded if he was paid Rs. 50,000. Here is some stuff on different channels and media houses and where they get their money from. Quite obviously they have an inappropriate amount of coverage for Congress and the idiotic Commies!! NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan . Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters. India Today which used to be the only national weekly which supported BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned into Hindu bashing. CNN-IBN: This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its branches in all over the world with HQ in US. The Church annually allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is Rajdeep Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh Read more

Can nothingness be experienced?

Last updated on: October 17, 2008 at 6:01 am By Desh Kapoor

This is continuation to an old post I made some time back - "Calculus and Nirvana". I also got inputs from Todd Ingram, who discussed about his many spiritual experiences and wisdom. Todd's many words of wisdom resonated with me. Absolute zero precludes existence. Therefore, absolute zero cannot have an observer or be observed or experienced. Any existence or observation would render such a prophesed state as anything but Absolute Zero. Many mystics and scientists have talked of phenomenon in absolute terms. But absolute has no definition nor a measurement - as both presume a comparison. It is a curse of expression and of thought that it exists in comparisons only. Anything that is NOT the primordial element of the creation (in existence on "its own") will be a relational element. A Relation has a flaw in that the degree of relationship is defined by the perception of the observer. For example, Sun is neutral in that it gives its sunlight freely and does not choose the recipient. But how one person gets the benefit because of his/her position, "creates" the difference! The degree of one's relationship is therefore not defined by the sun, but by the recipient! Unless one is actually not there (doesn't exist) and so "becomes" that absolute zero, one dwells in that one-ness existence. And however one may keep assuming a superiority based on that "one-ness" - relative existence nevertheless - it is no difference that any other relationship. Read more

Another Mystical Experience to be shared

Last updated on: October 16, 2008 at 4:55 pm By Rev. Dr. Todd Littleton

I was mediating one Sunday morning about the tremendous importance in our lives regarding Egypt, specially the amazed great pyramid and the eternal Sphinx. The great pyramid an astronomical monument, a science laboratory, cosmology learning, a shrine of wisdom and an architectural ancient wonder. When suddenly I felt my entire forehead painted with a bright green color like the new and fresh leaves from trees in early spring, then right in the middle of my forehead an intense red rose with some drops of dew appeared. All of a sudden I found myself becoming the sphinx, yes I was the sphinx, well my head was, when I felt VERY STRANGE NOISE. It was the great pyramid approaching in a very funny way like a person balancing, first on his right foot, then on his left foot with wide strides in a slow motion action advancing towards me, it was heavily walking and when it was right on top of me it made a "PLOP" sound.

Wall Street and Monkeys..the financial mess

Last updated on: October 16, 2008 at 3:29 pm By Desh Kapoor

Sent by Nandi - its hillarious and very interesting! If anyone has difficulty understanding the current world financial situation, the following should help.... ****** ******** Once upon a time in a village in India , a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! Read more

Tonight's McCain-Obama 3rd debate

Last updated on: October 16, 2008 at 5:14 am By Desh Kapoor

Thoughts on tonight's US Presidential debate: - Strange, but both Obama and McCain are left handed. So, they BOTH are leaning to "left" whether they like it or not! 😉 - McCain suggested that the Defense officers should come back and teach in schools - without certification! I hope these troops don't think this is Iraq as well! - MCain won the first half and then lost the last piece. - McCain looked like a ANGRY.... OLD man! 🙂 - Uptil now, McCain/Palin were talking ad nauseum about "Joe the Six Pack".... now there is another Joe.. "Joe the Plumber"! Is there nobody else in this country? Maybe some one could bring out some of the diversity in this country - can we have "Bob the Builder" next time please?? - What I found surprising was that Obama would spell out his plan - and McCain would instantly and UNASHAMEDLY give his own spin and start smiling! - On Intrade - bets on Obama are up 3.4% tonight. Btw, here is the break-up of the current leaning electoral votes on Intrade: Read more
