what are you hiding, Anonymous?
that you are jewish? that you are wealthy? or is it that, try as you might, you don't like THEM!
kritireads, while the center of human evolution 2 million years ago was undoubtedly east africa, 200,000 years ago (or rather, after the Toba volcano, 75,000 years ago) a better case, i think, can be made for southern africa. with the first humans, the San people. they have a unique language family with unique sounds (clicks) - even more likely to be preserved. furthermore they are a separate race. if you squint at a bushman, you can see all races. take a look at Mandela's eyes (he must have some San in him). no, this is not crucial to the world, i'd just like more respect paid towards the ancestors of all of us. once very numerous, they now number less than 30,000. -
Mandalas and Amygdalas
Activating the Buddhist mind.
In essence Buddhism requests the neophyte to abandon thinking that the 'watched' mind actually presents a real view of existence. The 'nose focussers' abandon conscious thought to rely on the Buddha mind which is in tune with and operates in harmony with the all encompasssing force of existence.
This being accomplished, an overwhelming behavioral pattern of compassion arises. En-light-enment is existence's fundamental state.
