I just tried my new home-made non-toxic mosquito repellent and it works!! That means more time in the backyard this summer...I love love love doing yoga barefoot on the grass.

I love this...the soundtrack to this movie is wonderful...I listened to it endlessly for a long time when the movie came out...and today I did again.
Exiled scapegoats can, thus, return to serve the collective as agents of its deepest and most difficult needs.... But they are also a community unto themselves. They form a loose society of nonconformists. It is one devoted to transpersonal processes underlying the individuality and secular collectives. Those in this society listen for the guidance that...

These deaths are very early deaths among patients taking psychiatric drugs. When I heard Mr. Whitaker quote one recent study that put the average age of death among a group of medicated patients at 45, I was stunned. Forty-five years old.
