Decapitated worms can regenerate their brains, and the memories stored inside

Biologists at Tufts University have removed the head and brain of a worm by decapitation, and then watched as it regenerated both its head and brain — and, somewhat miraculously, the memories stored inside. At first…

The Supramental Yoga and the Evolutionary Process of Transformation

                    ‘All religions have saved a number

                    of souls, but none yet has been able

                    to spiritualise mankind. For that

                    there is needed not cult and creed,

                    but a sustained and all-comprehending

                    effort at spiritual self-evolution.’

My Questionable Poetry:

AS I WAIT

the urge to Create bubbles within my Chest

and these butterflies will not let me rest

AS I IMPLODE

no longer am I lost in Haze

and quickly my Eyes begin to Glaze

AS I RISE

leaving the Ignorance of my youth

and continuing this never-ending Quest for Truth

AS I GROW

trying to alleviate your Fear

and to simultaneously Disappear

AS I LOVE

holding onto the hope that you Feel me

and this Waking-Dream of being Free

THIS NEW LIFE…

Buddha Nature's Auspiciousness

Abiding in the heart of all sentient beings,

the selfness of all, highest lord of all lineages,

the great bliss producer of sentient beings,

may Buddha nature bring you peace today.
