Add You - Excerpt from Sacred Love Book - Finding Stillness
AT A GLANCE:Agriculture is essential to reducing poverty, with a 34 percent share of GDP in low income countries. Three out of every four poor people in developing countries live in rural areas and 2.1 billion survive on less than $2 a day. Over 80 percent of the rural poor depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods.Rural-urban income disparities are widening in rapidly growing countries – in East Asia the ratio of rural to urban poverty increased from about 2 to more than 3.5 between 1993 and 2002.Livestock is one of the fastest growing subsectors of agriculture in developing countries. Production of meat has doubled over the last 15 years, led by a 7 percent annual increase in poultry. Vegetable production has grown by 7 percent annually over the past 15 years.Aquaculture is the fastest growing agriculture sector. Global production has increased 9 percent per year since 1970 and the growth rate is as high as 25 percent annually in Brazil over the last 5 years.Demand for food is expected to double by the year 2030, i
These are the universal laws. They cannot be preaching a morality, such is the domain of the religious leaders, politicians and philosophers, making our nest habitable. No, those laws exist impartially. The terrorist, the rapist, the angel and the yogi are all humble to those laws, whether morally right or wrong, and we are all under this one canopy and equally worthy of love.
Open your heart to witness those laws in a way that you, an ant in this anthill, might begin to understand the whole picture, rather than become obsessed with an adhesion to a fragment of it. The premise is that all the fragments, the religions, the philosophies, and processes of life are valid in their context. But none tell the whole story, therefore, none alone can stand real scrutiny. This is why we defend them with vengeance.
Look up and see the universe, see your lives, your religions, and your world in a bigger context, a great and magnificent order. An order that pervades every molecule of existence, every moment of activity, every action known as history, and every vision known as the future. There can be no escape from that magnificent viewpoint. From star stuff we come, to star stuff we go. Lying there far away from the claustrophobia of air-conditioned offices, digitised button pushing, your car, television, microwave and thoughts. Let your individuality fall away, become more and more part of something magnificent, less and less questioning of what is possible or best.

Romantic moments do not have to entail a big event or trip. Here are a few romantic evening plans you can use to express your love for another.If you are looking for a special and romantic way to surprise your extraordinarily special someone, a romantic evening is a wonderful place to begin. You can go with a fancy night on the town or a quiet night at home. Your partner will be impressed with your thoughtfulness and creativity when you plan a romantic evening!If you plan to stay in, start off the evening with a luxurious personal massage. Afterwards, allow your sweetie to relax. Meanwhile, you can prepare a lavish, romantic meal for the two of you. Don’t forget the candlelight and soft music. Watch a romantic movie together cuddled up on the couch. Spend some time talking. You can sit out on your porch or cuddle by the fireplace. If you are more of the outdoorsy type of people, spend the summer evenings on a blanket beneath the stars. If you live near a beach or even a lake, a romantic walk along the shore is a sweet way to spend quality time together. Finis
Stillness is the lifeblood of our relationship, and with stillness there is honesty, love and surrender. The stillness in which love can exist requires that you know how to cease thinking and worrying and striving, to let nature caress your heart and soul. Can you stop running? Can you forget about the mortgage, the rent, the fat on your belly, oil in your hair, the spot on your face, the next deal, the kids at school, the yoga backbend, what people think of you, and just be? Because this is how to find love.
Underneath all the struggle there is love. Your lover, that beautiful soul who is waiting for you to come back to stillness. It is there, always, behind the drama, the ambition, the strain. Don’t wait for a personal tsunami to make you aware of the power of stillness. Find it, just 10 minutes each morning, and eventually you’ll learn how to find it anytime, anywhere. What we need to do most is stop. Stop the rush, the wanting, the needing. Kill the expectations, just for one minute in silence, the TV off, the silence on, anywhere, anytime. Stop, then let it happen by itself, fall into love.
The ego hates the idea of stopping, so it even makes excuses like, “Ooh I am too busy” or “Ooh, you did this to me”. There are just thousands, millions of ego tricks, because to be emotionally and mentally naked, to sit in silence, means all your self doubt and mind stuff will be there to see. The thought that our self-deception, our masks of no earthly use, are going to be uncovered, witnessed by somebody – ourselves in particular – is terrifying.
To “fall” in love through the art of stillness is more about what you don’t do than what you do. You don’t try, you don’t expect, you don’t want, you don’t need, you don’t hope, you just don’t. In that moment of not doing, when you actually stop everything, then love is there. It is a ritual at first, but eventually a skill to create the sort of focus where you and the object of your love, no matter what you are doing, become one. Through the practice and mastery of inner stillness, we can choose to be available for love at any time.
We achieve this by simply diving past the ego, through the layers of emotion and fears, straight to the core that sits within. It is a hard path, because it is direct. This spontaneous act of falling in love is an essential asset for any sacred relationship. The keys to this direct path to love are in learning to focus on the object of the moment, and be totally present and not distracted when with your lover. It may be confrontational at first, but eventually, this experience of falling in love will become a permanent experience, always behind the reality of everyday life. When you commit to be open, you can truly fall back in love any time you choose. We go straight past the ego, past the intellect, and we fall back in love because there is no expectation, no resistance, no question, nothing to defend or protect, no “I” or “me”; there is just love. There is no reason, so there is no resistance.
Becoming available to fall in love over and over with your beloved requires that you create the space, the openness for love to exist. If you can master this art, then you can choose to make it last one second, or a lifetime. No matter what the circumstances, whether you are single or in your relationship, you can fall in love again and again. It is the most beautiful art, the most profound education. Becoming available does not depend on circumstances, but draws us straight to the moment of love. Then there is no memory needed, there is no hoping for a special circumstance, or event. Then, whether you are laying in each other’s arms, or separated forever, love can be celebrated in all its beauty. You can become available to fall in love every moment you choose.
New love, old love, young love, sweet love, sacred love. It is simple really. You just need to know how to get out of your own way, switch off the protection, change modes, and you are there. Love is independent of your thinking and emotions. If you can find love through the art of stillness, you will have found the secret to unconditional love, and the solution to all of life’s challenge. Then, no matter where you are, no matter what is happening you can know that love is in your heart. A love that lasts forever; stillness where you, your beloved and all that surrounds you become one, in love.
Love is natural – let nature be your guide.
When was the last time you and your lover lay naked on the grass on a starlit night, looked up at the heavens in silence, and opened your hearts to love without action? In nature, that first moment you met is brought back into your heart, and you remember how it was, before relationship interfered. You remember how it was to fall without mind, without expectation, into the arms of true love, in that sacred moment you met. Under the canopy of the stars dreams are free, life is infinitely long, and there cannot be a worry in any human heart. Lying there on the soft grass, looking out from our tiny home, the perfection is obvious even to a troubled soul.
Underneath that umbrella, our world, our life, our religions sit. We build things, collect things, fall in love and fall out of love, we live and we die, under that canopy. And we look up and wonder at it all. Our ego says, “I am important” yet, under this vista, looking out from our tiny earth, there is an obvious contradiction. Although I think, “I am free”, I am not free to disobey the laws that make all this magnificence function. The ants in their ant nest have laws. They live a short time, and in that time, they must survive. Their laws don’t change the stars, or the universe, but their laws make being an ant possible.
We are ants, but we think our laws are divine laws. Every religion thinks their watch tells heavenly time. But like the ants, our laws just make being a human possible. There are bigger things at stake than our conflicting arguments of which God is the right God, and which law is the right law. Under the canopy of the stars one can reach out way beyond this little perspective of life, and embrace all the emotions of life as mere fragments of the whole story. The diversity of humanity becomes a unity if you can reach beyond the ego. This is the only way. To understand the whole of creation, not just a self-determined fragment of it, one can look to understand the constants that exist both here on earth and out there in the stars.
These are the universal laws. They cannot be preaching a morality, such is the domain of the religious leaders, politicians and philosophers, making our nest habitable. No, those laws exist impartially. The terrorist, the rapist, the angel and the yogi are all humble to those laws, whether morally right or wrong, and we are all under this one canopy and equally worthy of love.

One of the easiest ways to find affordable automobile insurance in Tennessee is to purchase only the state’s minimum car insurance requirements, also referred to as liability coverage. That is, if you can swing it. In Tennessee, those requirements are as follows: $10,000 for Property Damage Liability, $25,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per person and $50,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per accident. By purchasing no more than those amounts of coverage, you’ll most likely find cheap car insurance in Tennessee.If you choose to obtain cheap car insurance in Tennessee by means of purchasing auto coverage that handles only the state’s minimum car insurance requirements, your premiums may still vary from your neighbor’s. This is due to individual factors auto insurers use to determine your rates including gender, age, credit score, driving record and the type of vehicle you drive. However, paying for the lowest amount of coverage allowable still means you’ll most likely pay the cheapest Tennessee auto insurance rates for you.Obtaining affordable automobile insurance

The New Age of Business To Business MarketingBusiness communication across enterprises, the "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours" practices of the big business world are certainly nothing new. But today the concept of business to business communication (B2B) has taken on an entirely different face, and in this new age of business communication, business to business email marketing has emerged to change the way that businesses operate. Business to business email marketing describes electronic communication between two different businesses. Business to business marketing can also take place over the telephone or in face to face meetings. And B2B is perfect if you're looking for some of the cheapest conference calling rates around. The B2B term first became popular as a means of distinguishing between other types of business communications, like business to consumer marketing (B2C), business to administration marketing (B2A), business to enterprise (B2E), and business to business network (B2B network).How Business to Business Email Marketing Works

Student loan consolidation is one of the most used methods for reducing and working off student debt. If you want to consolidate debt, whether it’s a student loan debt or not, you have to follow a certain process. However, this process is easy to follow and will absolutely not require big efforts from your side.Here is what you have to know about the consolidation process: You combine all of your various student loans into one large loan. Instead of paying toward all your loans each month, you make one payment towards this one loan. So, what will I gain with this, you may ask. If you compare the numbers before and after you have consolidated your student debt, you'll understand that it's a very good deal.To start out the working career with an overwhelming amount of debt is a daunting prospect to put it mildly. But the fact is that many college graduates unfortunately are facing this situation. Fortunately consolidating your student loans is a great way to meet the challenge of getting rid of the burden of debt from school or college.The main benef

I’ve written a far amount of science-fiction both in novel form and in articles. But this idea may be closer than you think. Within the area of genetic engineering and the advent of supercomputers, the merger of man and machine isn’t that far off. We have mapped the brain and its functions. We’ve delved into which areas control which parts of our bodies. With that information, we can stimulate certain portions by using electrodes to re-energize previously lost vision, hearing, and even some forgotten memories.On the other spectrum, we are making quantum leaps in the power of computers. We have flash drives that are the size of packs of gum that contain 4 gigabytes of memory. A few years ago, the largest computers only held one gigabyte. We can input human behavior and recreate those processes as virtual actions on the screen. We can teach the computer to behave as humanly possible by entering all the conditions that we, as humans, face, ala The Sims and various warfare games.Therefore, consider this possibility. A few decades from now, your body is deteriorating
