Cats Again Kill Critically Endangered Birds


Very good post

Orange-bellied parrots are among the world’s most critically endangered birds, with fewer than 50 individuals still in existence in the forests of Australia. Although conservationists have been working tirelessly to boost their numbers through captive breeding programs, their progress was hindered recently by the taboo wanderings of one very naughty kitty.

According to wildlife officials, the unauthorized feline managed to breach the premises of a secured breeding center in Tasmania last month. Once inside, the bad cat then actually entered the parrots’ enclosure through a small hole and began to terrorize the extremely rare birds.

In the resulting panic, two parrots died — no small number considering just how few of these animals remain.

The bird-killing culprit may have remained a mystery if it weren’t for the cat’s poor planning. As it turns out, squeezing into the parrot’s enclosure was easier than getting out; staff members actually discovered the problem…

You come to us from another world

From beyond the stars and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure, of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you the essence of love.

You transform all who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns, troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence, bringing joy
to ruler and ruled.

To peasant and king
You bewilder us with your grace.
All evils transform into goodness.
You are the master alchemist.

You light the fire of love in earth and sky

Hunt 4 Truth's avatarthe Hunt for Truth

Today, I want to share how research provides a link between spiritual experiences and health.

According to research, spiritual experiences are associated with a decreased focus on the self. Prayer, meditation, and mindfulness to name a few, are healthy. Similar to good diet, exercise and rest, regular spiritual experiences contribute to overall health.

I previously explained spiritual experiences this way:

Spiritual experiences are associated with a decreased focus on the self. I’ll use this as a definition for a spiritual state of mind: a non-tangible state of mind that brings profound meaning into one’s life as one transcends oneself.

Use something else if you like — we can’t say spiritual is universally anything religious though. Spiritual is as much a secular term as it is a religious term.

Neurotheology, also known as spiritual neuroscience, attempts to explain religious experience and behavior in neuroscientific terms. By understanding how the brain works during certain…

From “We are Human Angels”, the book

If since childhood you have wanted to change the world and have not stopped believing… If you have always dreamed of relieving the sorrows of all living beings… If you feel that you have a special talent to help others… If you have an out of the ordinary sensitivity… If you have overcome difficult trials in your life… If you think that despite everything, life should be lived with joy… If, while always trying to give meaning to your suffering, you believe that there must be a way to stop yours and others suffering… If in your heart there is no room for hatred and resentment… If you always try to change evil into good and darkness into light… If you always follow your heart even when it seems to be the hardest thing to do… If you have always had a vision of heaven on earth and would like to spread it throughout the world… If you have the ability to read people and know what is hidden within their hearts… If you silently bless everyone you encounter in your life… If you, from the very beginning, have always felt a sense of not belonging to this world… If you have never been able to relate yourself with any group of people, but you have always had a deep desire to connect yourself with your Souls’ family here on earth… If the search for truth is your greatest passion… If you live with honesty even when it hurts… If you believe in the healing power of Love… If you still have the same dreams you had when you were a pure-hearted child… If you feel you were born for a greater purpose and would like to express it…

you are a Human Angel and you are just trying to remember.

Ipledgeallegiance

Some one sent me information about this book. I thought that it was interesting. I don’t know whether it is real, or possible or not. The profile of a human angel did strike me because it has many of my characteristics.  We will never be sure and I realize some will scoff. That’s ok. My shoulders are wide. I did have a spiritual teacher thirty years ago that told me the sixties happened because angels wanted to come to earth. God values humans over even the angels. When they got here, it was much harder to walk this journey that they had expected. He felt that the drug use back then and the number of OD’s / suicides were angels who couldn’t handle the life on this plane of existence. Again I don’t know what is true but my gut tells me that it is possible.  At the time, I was shocked because I didn’t think any sentient being would opt for this life over being in the presence of Divinity and singing praises, if that is what happens. The Bible and the Tanach teach that angels walk among us. So this is for each of us to decide on our own. I did find the book on Kindle for $4.99 if you are interested. I figured five dollars was worth the read. I am sure libraries carry or can get you the book.

The Pledge of Allegiance is a treasure I found to remind us that while we owe our allegiance to our countries, the real allegiance goes to Mother Earth. One Earth, one world, one people and we will carry the consequences of what we do to heal or to destroy Mother Earth in our souls for eternity. So whether or not there are human angels, there is one planet, with one people and one love. We can destroy ourselves or we can heal our home and ensure life for many generations to come.

Are we human angels?

Are we human angels?

20 Holocaust Books for Children and Teens

This gallery contains 3 photos.


It is important that everyone read about the Holocaust. It wasn’t just Jews. This genocide targeted Jews, Poles and Gypsies.

This is so sad and wrong. It brings up the whole terrible death of Trayvon Martin. At least this guy will be doing time. But it won’t bring the children back. Such tragedies. Hugs, Barbara

Michael Dunn is seen during a recess in his trial in Jacksonville, Fla., Monday Feb. 10, 2014. The prosecution has rested in the trial of Dunn accused of killing a teen following an argument over loud music outside a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012.

Politico – Roger Simon

The Durango is red, which is unimportant. The teenagers are black, which is important.

The teenagers are planning to try to pick up some girls later in the evening and have stopped for some gum — “so our breath would smell good,” one will later testify — and cigarettes. The teenagers are playing loud music in the Durango.

A car pulls up next to the Durango, parking very close to it. Inside is Michael Dunn, 45, a software developer, and his fiancée. Both are white. Dunn’s fiancée goes into the store while Dunn waits in the car.

The couple are coming from the wedding of Dunn’s son. They have Dunn’s 7-month-old dog with them. Dunn had two drinks at the wedding but is not “buzzed,” he will later say…
