Laxmi Star:


GIVE.
HAVE GRATITUDE.

"Everyday, go into a silent meditation (for about five minutes) and feel the emotions/ feelings you would feel if you had already manifested [what you want] and then used that money in your life. Notice the past-tense, this will align you with the money. Basically, you are allowing it to flow to you.

When the money comes, you must realize that it was you who manifested it. It may come to you in an unexpected way, but whatever path it takes to get to you was the most efficient for you at the time. Express gratitude for the money once it flows to you."

"Doubts, negative expectations, low self esteem and hopelessness all block the flow of spiritual attraction. This is why clearing these personal obstacles has to be your top priority if you are serious about attracting wealth."

Buddha vs Vedas

Fascinating tidbit from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas :

"Buddhism does not deny that the Vedas in their true origin were sacred but it holds that they have been amended repeatedly by certain Brahmins to secure their positions in society. The Buddha declared that the Veda in its true form was declared by Kashyapa to certain rishis, who by severe penances had acquired the power to see by divine eyes.[60] In the Buddhist Vinaya Pitaka of the Mahavagga (I.245)[61] section the Buddha names these rishis, and declared the Vedic rishis "Atthako, Vâmako, Vâmadevo, Vessâmitto, Yamataggi, Angiraso, Bhâradvâjo, Vâsettho, Kassapo, and Bhagu"[62] but that it was altered by a few Brahmins who introduced animal sacrifices. The Vinaya Pitaka's section Anguttara Nikaya: Panchaka Nipata says that it was on this alteration of the true Veda that the Buddha refused to pay respect to the Vedas of his time."

Yogis vs NRA members

20.4 million Americans practice yoga (according to a recent yogajournal study).

The NRA has "only" 5 million members.

There is hope.
