Is the Fate of Democracy in Sarah Palin’s Hands?

A recent review of Sarah Palin’s bestselling book, Going Rogue, ends by declaring that she is the worst nightmare come true for democrats with a small d.  This is both a startling and an obvious claim. It’s obvious in that Palin is a rabble-rouser. Without shame or apology she targets the crazy right, fueling their resentment and anger with outright lies. “Death panels” are only the most colorful example. She is willing to bait the mob with any fear about America’s future, from financial collapse to terrorist devastation. (more…)

Faith in God and Success

Greetings and a very happy and healthy 2010. I am based in Pune, India and have a question for you.

I would like to know how we define spirituality? Do I need to believe in God to be spiritual. Due to constant struggles I have faced in my life and the loss of my younger brother in a car accident I have lost complete faith in God. I just cannot get myself to pray or have faith in God anymore

Can you please let me know if I can be spiritual in any other way? If I become an atheist or an agnostic will I be less successful in life? Are people who have faith in God and pray regularly more successful than people who do not believe in God?

Desire and the Ego

What is the ego? What is the conscious intelligence field, in physical/medical terms, please?
I have no experience in this field, as you have noticed. What does it mean “people who are connected with the conscious intelligence field adopt the intentions of the universe?” Why do I need than to know “my” intentions if, in the end it will be the intentions of the universe? Which are…I don`t know what are these intentions are. How should I? I am just a simple human!
“The cosmic mind is using their intentions to fulfill its own desires” what is cosmic mind?

What are these desires? What about my desires? Do I have to identify MY desires/intentions or not? You have to make up your mind! As I said, still confused but at a higher level!
