Spirituality vs Religion (Video)...

 


"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss."        Karl Brunnholzl


"Seek first to understand, then to be understood."   Steven Covey




American Christian Nationalism is dogmatic reified extremist religion, undoubtedly the furthest thing from a true spirituality.

Rather it is all about ignorance and the deep desire to control the thoughts and beliefs of all others.

Donald Trump, the Republican party, and Christian Nationalists of all stripes are all about total control over everyone's life based on their reified beliefs.

BTW, i'm not Japanese, Southeast Asian, Chinese, or Tibetan, but, i an a practicing Buddhist. The numbers of us are growing daily all over the USA. True deep spirituality, Not religion.

Cuckoo Birds of a Feather Flock Together...

Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Donald J. Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president of The United States, continues to display on the world stage his basic ignorance. Well, maybe it isn't really ignorance per se. Perhaps he is just so wrapped up in himself and his self perceived greatness that he hasn't time to learn the details of world shaping events. Unless of course it is to feed into his xenophobia and megalomania which he will use to poison the US political environment further. Earlier this month, Donald Trump was asked about the upcoming vote in the U.K. about leaving the European Union. The reporter asked, “And Brexit? Your position?” Trump replied, “Huh?” “Brexit,” the reporter repeated. “Hmm,” Trump responded, apparently unfamiliar with the term. With this exchange in mind, consider what the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said on Twitter this morning: “Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail. This has been done purposefully following the rancorous 2016 election, and because its Christmas Time, soon to be a New Year.  This posting f

The Inconsistencies and Hypocrisy...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -v s- Tyranny Okay, call me confused, or whatever the F anyone would like to characterize me. It really doesn't matter. You see, the the right is full of sh*t and the left is even more full of sh*t.. To which I have determined to say... SO WHAT. It's a game people. And the name of the game is who who will gain the upper hand and ultimately have  control   of the people. It is sickening, it is unethical, it is immoral, it is life sapping, it is irrational, and it is contrary to the principals this nation was founded on. To which the MODERN day democratic party, as well as the republican party respond by saying... So What? Both parties feel they must force acceptance of their statist anti individual and anti liberty agendas on the people. What is interesting,  putting all the hyperbole aside is this... Our country will continue to accept the same old BS from both parti

Cliven Bundt In Campaign Ad,,,

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Cliven Bundy, that rootin tootin Nevada rancher is back in the news again. Excerpt from Mediaite - “I know black folks have a had a hard time with slavery and you know, the government was in on it. And the government’s in on it again,” Bundy says as spaghetti western music plays in the background. “I worked my whole life without mistreating anybody. A man ought to be able to express himself without being called names.” In case you don’t recall, it was Bundy who suggested that “the Negro” was “better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things.” Video via You Tube: I do like Kamau Bakari, what little he said sounds damn reasonable. Bundy, I guess he needs to make up his mind. Full article BELOW THE FOLD . Via: Memeorandum
