It is no secret I’m obsessed with my babies, as I’ve mentioned here and here. So, of course, I would want the best from my fur babes; and if that means homemade treats, so be it! Lets rewind back to a trip to Wally Mart where I found some cute doggy cookie cutters. As soon as I saw them I became inspired to prepare treats for my pups. I already knew the babies loved peanut butter (what dog doesn’t love PB?!), so when I stumbled upon a recipe for peanut butter dog treats I was SOLD…
…and so was clifford, don’t even bring up his diet! (him just wanted a taste of the dough!)
My babies loved the treats and I hope yours do too!
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/4 cups hot water
- Preheat oven to 350°
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Add water and peanut butter. Gently combine the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- Knead with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. <I used my Kitchen Aid mixer for faster results>
- Take a rolling pin and flatten out the dough.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out fun doggy shapes.
- Make sure you’re using a non-stick baking sheet or spray it with PAM.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden. If you want the dog treats to be softer, take them out 10 minutes earlier.

Malnutrition (severe or moderate acute malnutrition) affects 23 percent of children in developing countries.1 The World Health Organization estimates that malnutrition is the cause of one-third of all child deaths.2 Malnutrition, or inadequate nutrition, manifests most noticeably as delayed growth, but also includes deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and protein.
A recently developed intervention for severe acute malnutrition, known as Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food, is currently being distributed to hundreds of thousands of children in the developing world. Other food interventions, such as a lentil and rice dish called khichuri-halwa, are being utilized. A recent study published in the journal Nature sought to understand whether the development of gut bacteria during infancy was associated with improvements in malnutrition after such interventions in Bangladeshi children.3
The researchers first tested the stool of healthy Bangladeshi children on a monthly basis during the first two years of life to determine the healthy development of gut bacteria. That is, they used these findings as a benchmark of a normally maturing gut bacterial community. After all, the first two to three years of life see some of the biggest changes in gut bacterial composition, and by this age, the gut microbes resemble that of an adult.
Next, they tested the gut bacteria of children with severe and moderate acute malnutrition before, during, and after receiving either the Therapeutic Food or the lentil and rice dish. Before the interventions, gut bacteria was found to be immature—that is, the gut microbes were found were not fully developed as they were in healthy children. After the food interventions, the children’s gut microbiota immaturity was only partially improved—and temporarily, at that. By four months after the interventions had ceased, their gut microbes reverted back to their original, immature state.
The researchers suggest that either a longer food intervention or a different food that more resembles the children’s native diet is needed. They also recommend “next-generation probiotics using gut-derived taxa [groups],” which I believe will have the best impact. What if they isolated the gut microbes from the healthy children and gave them to the malnourished children? Those microbes would take up residence in the children’s guts, especially if the children were also given a food that those bacteria naturally thrive on.
Aside from lack of food, gastrointestinal (GI) infection is another cause of malnutrition. During a GI infection, the immune system is taxed in such a way that a broad range of nutrients are required to fight the pathogenic organism. Let’s not forget that a healthy gut microbiota can help ward off such infections in the first place—and can help improve the body’s nutrient capacity. You see, gut microbes play an important role in the harvest of nutrients from food. They help to break down food so that the body can efficiently absorb the nutrients it needs. When the community of gut microbes is not a healthy one, the ability to absorb nutrients adequately is compromised. When this occurs during infancy along with a lack of food or an infection, malnutrition can be worsened.
I cannot overemphasize the importance of developing a healthy gut balance during infancy. Avoiding medically unnecessary Cesarean sections and antibiotics during pregnancy (and during infancy for baby), breastfeeding for at least one year (more is better), and taking probiotics during and after pregnancy along with eating fermented foods is the best way to set infants up with a healthy balance of gut microbes, both in developing countries and here at home.

Russia’s brand new Sukhoi SuperJet 100 aircraft has flown to Paris to take part in the upcoming international air show outside the French capital, the office of Russian Vice-Premier Sergei Ivanov said on Sunday.
The 49th International Paris Air Show will be held at Le Bourget on June 20-26.
“Sergei Ivanov has arrived in France aboard the aircraft for a working visit after he was recently flown by Aeroflot’s first commercial Superjet SSG-100 flight to the St. Petersburg International Economic forum,” the office said.
The Superjet 100 is a family of medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi in cooperation with U.S. and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace and Honeywell.
The aircraft is capable of carrying 75-98 passengers up to 4,400 kilometers.
Aeroflot has already ordered 30 Sukhoi SuperJet 100 aircraft and is planning to order 10 more. Initially the planes will be used to carry out domestic flights from Moscow to St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa and Samara, but they will later also be used for international flights.

The Materials Library at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar is the only one of its kind in the Arab Gulf region. The library's mission is to provide students and faculty with access to various industries’ most innovative materials and products. But collection efforts are frequently challenged by the school's geographical location. How can a diverse and eclectic materials collection develop and expand in the face of strict customs regulations, exorbitant shipping costs, and, most recently, a political crisis that has severely restricted the country's airspace and shipping routes? A supportive administration and a creative approach to materials procurement have helped the library become an academic and community hub for the research and creative productivity of students, faculty, and local artists and designers.

Did we accidentally stumble across Jaguar/Land Rover’s new key?
While rummaging through the all-new Jaguar E-Pace at the vehicle's global reveal in London, we may have stumbled across the all-new Jaguar Land Rover key.
Given the age, weight and old school nature of Jaguar Land Rover's trusty keyless entry fob, it was only a matter of time before the brand updated its key with sleeker and lighter version.
Located in the centre console of a Jaguar E-Pace display vehicle, this key had its internals taken out and was just a shell presumably used to start and move the display vehicles.
The key was very light and made out of a hollow plastic material with chrome highlights around its outer edges.
The new key features a lock button with a second red lock symbol, an unlock button, a parking lights activation button, a tailgate release, along with an emergency button.
We're not certain that this is indeed a new key for the brands, but given it was sitting in the company's latest model, it suggests that it could replace the bulky Jaguar Land Rover key of yesteryear.
It will also work in unison with the Jaguar Activity Key, which also features on the all-new Jaguar E-Pace.
What do you think of the new key design?

Following more than $3 billion in recoveries from defendants in Florida’s historic opioid litigation, one remains—Walgreens.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said the State of Florida is in trial this week to hold Walgreens accountable for its role in helping create and fuel the deadly opioid crisis devastating Florida families and draining taxpayer-funded resources.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “I am encouraged that all the other defendants in our historic opioid litigation stepped up, and we recovered more than $3 billion to help Florida address the devastation caused by the opioid epidemic. It’s time for Walgreens to face accountability for their part in fueling the opioid crisis, and my team is prepared to vigorously try our strong case against them.”
Florida’s case to hold Walgreens responsible for the pharmaceutical company’s role in the opioid crisis is set for jury trial that started on Tuesday in New Port Richey, with jury selection in front of Judge Kimberly Sharpe Byrd. After jury selection, opening statements are likely to occur on or about April 11.
In court filings, the State highlights concerning evidence surrounding Walgreens dispensing and distribution of opioids in Florida.
According to the filings, “a Walgreens drug distribution center sold 2.2 million tablets to a single Walgreens’ pharmacy in tiny Hudson, a roughly six-month supply for each of its 12,000 residents… In some cases, Walgreens increased orders as much as 600% in the space of just two years, including, for example, supplying a town of 3,000 with 285,800 orders of oxycodone in a one-month period.”
The Office of the Attorney General will outline additional facts and figures concerning Walgreens’s role in creating and fueling the deadly opioid crisis during next week’s trial.
Attorney General Moody recently announced the securement of more than $870 million for opioid abatement from former defendants in the State’s case: CVS Health Corporation, CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., and Allergan PLC.
Additionally, Attorney General Moody announced the finalization of the State’s agreement with Endo Health Solutions.

Simone Inzaghi should be presented to the media on Saturday morning and Lazio announce they are suing Marcelo Bielsa for €50m.
The club announced there will be a Press conference at the Formello training ground on Saturday at 11.00 UK time (10.00 GMT).
Although there is no official confirmation yet, Inzaghi drove in to the Lazio HQ on Friday evening and told reporters he was “very happy.”
Sky Sport Italia claim Inzaghi put pen to paper on the new contract tonight after talks with director of sport Igli Tare.
The emergency move was made after Bielsa announced he would not be taking the job, despite Lazio depositing the signed contract with the Lega Serie A.
The Argentine tactician released a note claiming Lazio had broken their promises on the transfer market and failed to get any of the reinforcements requested.
At the same Press conference, it's reported President Claudio Lotito will announce he is going to sue Bielsa for €50m in damages.
Inzaghi was a former Lazio player and in charge of the youth team squad before he was promoted to the main job in April to replace sacked Stefano Pioli.

Blue skies and the highway is calling, but before we answer the call, I’m off to meet a friend of many years over a bite of late brekkie or early lunch. We’ve shared laughter and tears, though have lived on separate continents for nearly 40 years now. It’ll be good to catch up.
And then off to the Harris Ranch. The name itself is exciting – will I get to do some cow poking and branding? No, I think we’re in a King bed tonight; nothing very cowboy about that.
It’s such a different life from my usual rural idyll. People everywhere, mainly on the freeways. Such a different outlook here, where the concerns of this great nation occupy most of the news bulletins and not much from beyond the borders filters through.
With the remarkable speed of internet connections these days, though, I may be miles from home but am still involved in the church and home news. Here but not quite here. There but not quite there.
A picture of a Christian’s stance in the world? Here, but not quite here. There, but not quite there.
Looking forward to a day or two at Bethel Church in Redding, where the ‘There’ seems to be pretty much breaking through to the ‘Here’.
Awesome, in the full sense of the word.

Yesterday was a glorious day in Los Angeles.
The sun was bright in a clear blue sky – yes, really clear. I don’t know where the smog and haze had gone, but they were outta there.
After dropping Robbie into the mayhem of LAX, I joined Mom and Mhairi at Mhairi’s garden apartment in Studio City. It’s a wee oasis in the midst of a sprawling city. A cul de sac without sidewalks, heavily shaded by overhanging bamboo, brightened up by deep red bougainvilla flowers. A Jacuzzi and small swimming pool are there for her use, and the small square of grass outside her window provides a backdrop for the antics of various animals. Squirrels. Possums. Birds.
And occasionally, horrifically, seven rats.
Well, only the garden of Eden was perfect.
We went up to the Griffith Park Observatory where we enjoyed panoramic views over the whole LA basin area. And a clear view of the iconic Hollywood sign.
We saw the exhibits, enjoyed the sun, and ate well afterwards.
A glorious day.
A road trip. Sounds fun, just the words of it. It’s awhile since I’ve driven north to Sacramento and beyond.
We put the car in for a service and to be given the once-over for road-worthiness this morning. The guy was so helpful and friendly. Made me feel better, watching Mom so able to drive over there herself and handle his questions. She is just amazing for 87. Please may I have her genes...
Now we’re looking at maps, talking through timings, hoping and praying no fog will materialize along the way. I thought the fog hugged the coast, but apparently the freeway up the middle of the state, 5, can also be socked in.
Mom’s been calling her friends, telling them the good news that we’ll be stopping by.
Soon we’ll start calling some motels and making some reservations. One night we’ll just stop where we find ourselves, as we’re not sure of timings since we’ll be visiting people.
It’s good to make plans. It’s also good to be flexible. You never know when God might drop a diversion into your day, which he really wants you to follow up on.
The sun is out and I’m in shorts and sandals in November. God is good.

Feel that November Sun!
Now here is one thing I do miss about Southern California, when I’m shivering in Scotland.
It’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I am in a sleeveless shirt, putting on sunscreen to avoid a burn.
You just don’t get that in Banchory in November; only rarely in the summertime.
Just back from the Muppet movie, which brought some laughs. And a sad smile when Miss Piggy sang, remembering how much Judy loved Miss Piggy.
That’s the thing about life, isn’t it? There is a thin line between the smiles and the tears.
It’s been a lovely weekend with Mhairi and Robbie here. We’ll be up at the crack to get Robbie to LAX for 7.30 am. Then a few hours with Mhairi before she needs re-enter her working world.
Sunshine through the rain.
A rainbow, the promise of God reminding me that he is in charge, and all is well.
Thursday, 24 November 2011
Off to the beach for a walk with Robbie and Mhairi. That can only mean one thing – Thanksgiving in California, where although there is rain in the forecast, the sun is still shining.
First Thanksgiving without Dad. Going to the cemetery first. It’s hard, and good to be together with Mom, Mhairi and Robbie.
The clouds are blustering up out there and the ‘kids’ are waiting so I best be off. Got to work up an appetite for that turkey and pumpkin pie.
So much to be thankful for. I – we – are so blessed. And so undeserving. It is humbling.
Tuesday, 22 November 2011
What do you do when your flight is cancelled and the knock-on effect could be that you don’t get to California at all in time for Thanksgiving?
And have a good network of pray-ers. And a husband who goes the extra miles to do all he can to get you there.
At 7.45 pm I got the email from BA saying due to fog my early flight to Heathrow was cancelled, meaning I would miss the LA leg. All other options yielded nothing. Apart from a possible all nighter on the train.
They couldn’t tell us on the phone if there were a berth available, so I closed the suitcase without another thought of what was in or wasn’t, raced out the door and within an hour was in the last berth available.
Sitting in the bar drinking hot chocolate, I realized that even so, I would be hard-pressed to get across London to Heathrow in time for a 10 am flight. The army of pray-ers kept going and I even slept a little on the train.
Train arrived on time in Euston Station (another miracle), and as I reached the top of the first flight of steps down into the tube, a young man offered to carry my heavy case down for me. (an angel in disguise?)
There was nobody in the queue for tickets. Paddington Station was only 4 stops away and the trains were on time. Another young man offered to carry my case back up the stairs. (another angel)
The Heathrow Express arrived in 10 minutes and took 15 minutes to get to the airport.
The fog had grounded other flights but mine to LA was still flying, on time, and I made it. Though they thought I wouldn’t make it and had given my aisle seat to another passenger, there was another aisle seat available.
Miracles all the way. Thanks to a great and gracious God.
And the sky is blue here.

So when we say Absolute, we mean Being -- Essence with no qualities, before qualities come into Being. Then you know it's the source of everything, because you see everything arising from it.
Diamond Heart Book Three, pg. 165
Because the absolute is not simply nonbeing, we experience it as a field, an expanse, and not simply nonbeing. To understand this we need to make a particular differentiation explicit. We have been using two terms interchangeably, namely absolute and absolute dimension. Strictly speaking, the absolute is the ultimate nature of Reality, and it is beyond dimensions; for dimensions are the experience of manifestation. Yet, we do experience the absolute as a dimension, boundless and infinite, an infinity that contains and holds all manifestation, including the other boundless dimensions. We can say that the absolute is the unmanifest, the ultimate truth and mystery of Being, beyond all dimensions and qualities. But when it begins to manifest appearance, this manifestation appears as if in an expanse, an infinite and boundless expanse, that looks like black space. Manifestation appears always in the context of time and space. It always possesses an expanse in time and space. Therefore, when we witness appearance from this stance of the absolute we see an expanse appearing in a more vast, dark expanse, the absolute. We have the sense of the absolute as an expanse, as a vast infinite black space. The absolute appears in this perception as a boundless dimension that underlies all other dimensions. But in reality the absolute is beyond space and time, for it is beyond manifestation.

Awareness But Without Involvement in Phenomena
We feel unknown and unknowable, and in front of us phenomena appear with functioning. There is awareness of phenomena and functioning, but there is no involvement in it whatsoever. It does not feel like it is someone observing or aware of phenomena. It is as if Reality has two sides. The front is all of existence, the back is the darkness of the absolute. All of appearance, as the divine logos or being, is seen as external to the absolute. There is no one who feels he's doing. The doing is present, without being related to doer. The interesting thing is that there is functioning and perception without a sense of self.

Being Drawn by the Secret to Itself
The more we drop our attachments and abandon our inner idols, the more we are filled with grief and loss and sadness. The whole universe will turn into an ocean of tears. As our heart empties itself of its idols, it sacrifices too its yearning and its longing, and even its love. You don’t feel you long any more. You don't even feel that you love any more. There remains only the direct condition of being consumed by an ocean of hot tears. This is some taste of nearness of the Guest, but we experience it for a long time as the grief over the loss of all the things we are shedding and sacrificing. We willingly sacrifice everything, but we cannot help but feel such deep sadness and tears. However, this again is another story the mind tells us, trying to explain something it does not and cannot comprehend. The mind cannot see that it is the Secret drawing nearer and beginning to melt us, to dissolve us. We can say that it is the heart passionately longing for and loving the Secret. But we can also say it is the Secret touching you, completely and passionately burning you up.

Complete Freedom from Self
We first experience the total nonconceptuality of our true nature as we delve more deeply into the nature of pure awareness and absolute awareness. As we explore the nature and the very substance of these nondual dimensions, as we consider their sense of nothingness, emptiness, and absence, that opens the door for true nature to manifest itself in a way that reveals degrees of freedom that we haven’t even imagined possible. In the usual trajectory of our work, our unfolding development or realization reveals the realization of the absolute—the absolute depth of true nature that is complete freedom from self. Some teachings think of the absolute as the big self or the ultimate self or the ultimate subject. But it is actually the experience of total selflessness, of no self of any kind. The individual self is seen simply as a window for experiencing no self. It is not the center, and there is no center. So the absolute is a profound realization of emptiness of self. It also can appear as the emptiness of everything, the nonbeing of everything in the sense that nothing has an ultimate identity. Things appear and we experience them, but they don’t exist in the way that we usually think.
Runaway Realization, pg. 205
Disappearing is Really Wonderful
Disappearing is really wonderful, is beautiful. Everything else within the realm of consciousness is paltry compared to it. Once you experience absolute absence, you know that all the wonderful sublime states of essence, of being, of consciousness and God-realization, are all on one side and the Absolute is on the other side. Regardless of how sublime and wonderful, these states are not one-millionth as wonderful as the state of the Absolute. Consider the highest, deepest experience of consciousness you have had, the most fulfilled and blissful condition. Now imagine a state a million times more satisfying and liberating. That is the Absolute.
Diamond Heart Book Five, pg. 138
Discovering the Absolute in Our Heart
We find that home is the inner of the inner, in the most secret chamber of our heart. When we discover the absolute in our heart, which is a particular realization of the absolute, we find out that it is what our heart has always been looking for. (See The Point of Existence, chapter 41, for a discussion of the process of finding the absolute in the heart.) We learn that we have been erecting idols in our heart, when our heart is in reality the Kaaba, the throne of the divine essence, the absolute. We have been loving so many people, so many things, and filling our heart with them and then wondering how come we are not completely happy and totally fulfilled. But now we realize that we have needed to keep our heart vacant, emptying it from all other loves except the love of the truth. We did not recognize what should truly fill our heart, who our real beloved is, until now. When we see the luminous crystalline mystery in the depths of our heart our love runneth over; we are beyond ourselves with deep joy and passionate love. We finally recognize our true and one beloved, the one we have been looking and waiting for, and understand the reason for our previous lack of total contentment and complete fulfillment. All these loves were simply expressions of the true beloved, reminding us of Him, and because of that we loved them.
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 404
Each Form Contains All the Secrets of Reality
It is the dynamism of the absolute’s own emptiness that reveals that the absolute can manifest in ways that are different from how it is usually experienced. The dynamism begins to show not only the relationship of the primordial ground to all the forms that arise within it, but also the relationship of those forms to each other. And as it begins to show the relationship of these forms to each other, we recognize that their relationship to each other is not only that they are all manifestations of the same ground and, therefore, united—which is the view of nondual realization. We realize that is only the beginning of what is implied by that realization. As we further penetrate the emptiness, we begin to see that even though all forms are equal, each form has a unique significance; each form, each particular, contains all the secrets of reality that we have seen in all the aspects or forms of true nature. We see that all forms of experience, and not only the ground of true nature, have implicit in them all of reality. Seeing that each particular is important, which the nondual view neglects to do, ushers in different views of reality that change our understanding of time and space, as we’ve seen in previous chapters.
Runaway Realization, pg. 235
Everything is the Absolute but with Form
At the beginning it seems that the Absolute is something very distinct from everything else, but when our experience matures we realize that there is nothing but the Absolute. Everything that happens is a manifestation of the Absolute. Everything is the Absolute, but with form. So wherever we look we see the Absolute. In the experience of cessation, everything disappears; then, everything reappears as a manifestation of the Absolute, as the luminous awareness of the Absolute.
The Point of Existence, pg. 427
Experience Vanishes in the Depths of the Absolute
When we turn to the depths of the Absolute there is no experience; there is cessation. Nisargadatta recognizes the absolute truth as pure awareness, but he also says that pure awareness needs something to manifest in order to be aware. The Absolute is the witness, but the witness cannot witness itself because there is nothing to witness then. This is a very interesting characteristic of the absolute truth.
The Point of Existence, pg. 430
Experiencing the Absolute
We experience ourselves as vastness, an immensity, an expanse so deep it is absolutely dark. Though dark and still, inscrutable and silent, it is the source of all luminosity and light. And within this immeasurable immensity, we witness the process of creation. We see a dynamic presence, the divine logos, flowing out of the absolute, revealing its potentialities as the manifest reality, disclosing its mysteries as the multidimensional manifold of existence and experience. Yet, because of the infinity of the absolute we see this manifold as a surface phenomena, as if the absolute is so pure and pristine that it glitters and shines, its brilliance forming a surface, colorful and luminous. This colorful and luminous surface of radiance is continually scintillating colors and forms, shapes and patterns. We witness an unfolding surface of clear and variegated light, whose pattern is the totality of creation. The absolute is prior to light, but also its source and ultimate nature and mystery. The light is the unfolding logos, whose pattern is the totality of existence, a dynamic unified manifold. The scintillating light is one unified surface, with no parts and no partitions, a field of radiance full of intelligence and truth, reality and significance.
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 378
Explicit Perfection and Completeness
At one of the stages of its manifestation, the Absolute presents itself as explicit perfection. Here, perfection and completeness are explicit, with all the various perfections present—but in this stage, the qualities are still undifferentiated. We cannot separate one from another. We can know and recognize Love in this manifestation, for example, but we cannot differentiate it from Will. And we can't differentiate Will from Clarity, Clarity from Strength, Strength from Fulfillment, or Fulfillment from Joy. All the qualities are explicit and manifest but not differentiated. We refer to this manifestation as Brilliancy. When we experience Brilliancy, we experience perfection and completeness explicitly because our true nature is manifesting to us in a form characterized by perfection and completeness. By inquiring into Brilliancy, we recognize it as intelligence. It is the presence of pure radiance, pure brilliance.
Brilliancy, pg. 81
In the Absolute there is not Even any Consciousness
The Absolute is nonconceptual because there are no concepts there; but it is deeper than simply nonconceptual. In the Absolute there is not even any consciousness. The nonconceptual is the same as the Absolute, except that there is consciousness. As the nonconceptual, which I call the Nameless because there is no name for it, I know, and I know that I know. But I don’t know what I know. This level of knowing does not involve recognition of things. In the Absolute I don’t know, and I don’t know that I don’t know. The Nameless is “I know.” I know that I know, but I don’t know what I know, because there is nothing there to know. It is just consciousness knowing itself. It is just the bare minimum of awareness of existence, which is pure consciousness. We call it nonconceptual because there are no concepts there. The moment there are concepts, you know something. The moment you say, “I know this,” you have created a concept or become aware of a concept. You have put something in a category, delineated it as something. But the nonconceptual is not a something. In the nonconceptual, there is no sense of space and time. When the nonconceptual is experiencing the nonconceptual, it doesn’t have form, shape, color, location, or size. It is prior to time and space. To have shape and size and color you need the concept of space. The only thing left is quality, and the quality is simply consciousness. You almost cannot even call it quality; it’s not exactly that. It’s as if you’re aware, and you know you’re aware, but you’re not aware of anything in particular. You are simply aware of the awareness itself, conscious of the consciousness itself. You don’t know whether it’s inside or outside. There is no concept of inside or outside. There is no concept of someone being there, being aware.
Diamond Heart Book Four, pg. 322
It is Impossible to Conceive of a Form that Transcends the Absolute
We call this dimension of true nature the absolute for very specific reasons. First, it has the sense and feel of absoluteness. When we are fully abiding in it we feel a certainty that this is the ultimate truth of everything, transcending all other certainties. We feel absolutely certain of this truth and that there can be nothing beyond it or transcendent to it. But it is also easy to see why it is the absolute dimension of true nature. If there were any other dimension it would have to arise in awareness; otherwise there would be no way of knowing of it. However, for a dimension or truth to arise in awareness puts it in the realm of the manifest, and the absolute transcends all the manifest. Some teachings insist that the ultimate is a personal god that possesses a form. It is, however, impossible to conceive of a form that transcends the absolute. Any form is bound to be within the logos, for the logos is an infinite field of oneness. To perceive or conceive of a form we have to see that it is an inseparable part of the oneness, for no form can be outside the oneness of being. To conceive a form outside of the oneness of being would mean that we conceive a boundary and end for this oneness, which contradicts the knowing of true oneness. In other words, any form must be an inseparable part of the oneness of being, and hence part of the unfolding pattern of the logos. It is bound to be arising within the absolute, with the absolute as its transcendent source.
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 391
Love Melting Away the State of Poverty
The emptiness of the heart reveals itself as the state of poverty, in which I feel I have nothing. The love, however, is too overwhelming to allow me to remain in any limited state, even that of mystical poverty. The intensification of love melts away even the state of poverty, where now the emptiness in the heart transforms into the dazzling majesty of the absolute. The love becomes so intense, so passionately deep red, that after a while I cannot tell who loves whom. Do I love the absolute, or does the absolute love me? The passionate love is the intensity of the annihilating power of the absolute as it erases all but itself. I, as the soul, behold the absolute appearing in the heart, occupying it as its rightful resident. The heart beholds the absolute as the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever beheld. It is dazzling and intoxicating, so black it is brilliant with blackness. It is nothing, but it shimmers and shines in such a dazzling way that I can see it has a crystalline quality. It is an infinite black crystal absence, brilliantly shimmering. The radiance is so bright it illuminates the cave of the heart the way a lightning storm illuminates the night. The lightning illumination ricochets in the cavern of the heart with such power I can hear it thundering and exploding.
Luminous Night's Journey, pg. 80
No Fixed Position or Final Conclusion can be Taken Regarding the Absolute
I experience the absolute as both knowable and unknowable. I can plumb its depths, and gain a great deal of experience and insight. I can describe what I experience in increasing detail, with more and more precision. But it is clear that the nature of this inexhaustible vastness allows no final or definitive knowledge. The absolute is knowable in that we can become aware of it; many poets and spiritual masters spent their lives talking and writing about it. It is unknowable in that our knowledge is endless and cannot be final. Its nature is indeterminable because it is inexhaustible. The knowledge of the absolute always involves the revelations of the process of contemplating it, of experiencing it ever more deeply and clearly. It always involves a contemplating consciousness. The absolute is not absolutely alone. When there is no longer a contemplating consciousness, then there is no reflection on the absolute; there is only being it. Then there is no content that can be pointed to. In other words, no fixed position or final conclusion can be taken regarding the absolute. To fully apprehend it is to know it as mystery…….. The contemplation of the absolute continues with its own momentum, without my personal prompting. The consciousness finds itself in the mysterious blackness of the absolute, and a process of sensing into its depths spontaneously commences. I keep returning to this mystery, this intimacy, this delicacy, this contentment, this peace, this freedom, this infinity of release. The absolute cannot even be called space, even though it is a vastness. Ordinarily I see it as spacious. But as I plumb this spaciousness, it dissolves into a spaceless or dimensionless nothing. The result is absence, the opposite of existence. Then there is no sense of extension, and also no sense of no extension. Awareness of the absolute remains, but this awareness is free of the concept or sense of extension. In this subtle perception, knowingness borders on cessation.
Luminous Night's Journey, pg. 118
Penetrating the Nature of the Absolute
An important feature of the emptiness of these two dimensions of radical nonconceptuality is that it is unobstructed. As we recognize the unobstructedness, we see that there is no obstruction between the ground of awareness and all the forms that manifest within the expanse of awareness, and also that there is no obstruction between one form and another. This insight opens up a whole new way of experiencing things. Penetrating the nature of the absolute invites further realizations, further ways of experiencing that show that pure awareness is the awareness of Total Being and that the absolute reveals that Total Being is the source of everything. From the perspective of the absolute, you see the absolute as the source of everything and also as the mystery of Total Being. But as we investigate more fully, the situation expands and reveals that Total Being can manifest itself and can appear as any of the nondual dimensions, each one of which reveals some of its potential and reality. So pure awareness displays the awareness of Total Being and the absolute conveys its mystery.
Runaway Realization, pg. 194
Perceiving Everything Clearly as Appearance
Or we can experience ourselves in the midst of the manifest world, aware of the absolute as the background and underlying nature of all manifestation and perception. Here we experience everything around us as if it were one unified surface, luminous and transparent. We perceive everything -- the floor, the walls, the furniture, and all people present -- clearly as appearance, as the luminous beauty of the logos, radiant with golden truth, and rich with the nectar of love. Yet all this transparent surface is penetrated by the blackness of the mystery. This perception has a sense of beauty and magic, as if we experience the totality of the perceptual field as a luminous and transparent surface, the absolute blackness peering through from all directions, giving the impression of being inside a transparent bubble in an infinite dark space.
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 379
The Absolute is a Presence that is at the Same Time Absence
Student: What do you mean when you say that consciousness and absence can be together or coemergent?
Almaas: I have been emphasizing absence because it is the essence of the Absolute, but the Absolute is the nondifferentiated coemergence and coextensiveness of consciousness and emptiness, of presence and absence. The Absolute is a presence that is at the same time absence. In this condition, you experience everything as usual, both you and the world. You live a normal life, and everything exists in the sense that it feels like the pure presence of consciousness. Simultaneously, you feel and know that nothing exists. So there is both presence and absence at the same time. Consciousness exists, in the sense that it appears in and as experience without its being a construct, but its nature is absence. True nature is both being and nonbeing, both presence and absence, but also not either, because these two facets are not differentiated. Everything has this nature, and everything is constituted by this nature. You realize that even the physical matter in front of you is the Absolute. There is no difference. Such perception implies a further and deeper integration and understanding of the Absolute.
Diamond Heart Book Five, pg. 146
The Absolute is Not a Dimension but, rather, the Absolute Mystery and Source of all Dimensions
Strictly speaking, since all perception is in relation to manifestation, either within it or outside it but witnessing it, we experience the absolute as a boundless dimension. We discussed this mystery in chapter 16, when we used the metaphor of dreaming to illustrate how the truth beyond space and time manifests as and within space and time. From this we see that the absolute in its absoluteness, the unmanifest understood irrespective of manifestation, is beyond dimensions; yet it appears as a boundless dimension that constitutes the final ground and ontological nature of all manifestation and dimensions. In other words, the absolute dimension is constituted by the absolute, or its nature is the absolute. This is similar to saying that the dimension of pure awareness is constituted by nonconceptual presence. So the absolute dimension is the boundless, infinite expanse whose nature is the black mystery of the absolute. When we experience it we experience the absolute, because it is the absolute that is appearing as a dimension; whereas the absolute is not a dimension, but rather the ultimate mystery and source of all dimensions, the unmanifest true nature. Because of this differentiation it becomes ambiguous sometimes to say that the absolute is the unmanifest when we are experiencing the absolute dimension, because a boundless and infinite dimension is necessarily a manifestation.
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 394
The Absolute is Pure Awareness that is Not Aware of Itself but is Aware of Anything that Comes Out of Itself
The Absolute is a pure awareness that is not aware of itself, but it is aware of anything that comes out of itself. The moment consciousness arises, the Absolute becomes aware of it as pure light, pure radiance. So you can be the Absolute being aware of the nonconceptual. Or you can lose the Absolute and become just the nonconceptual. You can be just the nonconceptual experiencing the nonconceptual, which you experience as just pure awareness without anything to know. Or you could be the nonconceptual and be aware of the Absolute. And then you know the Absolute. That is how we can talk about the Absolute and its absence of qualities. At any level of experience, you can perceive both the more superficial realms and the next deeper realm. Except if you go to the Absolute, there’s only one way to go, which is towards the more superficial. If you are in the personal mind, there’s also only one way to go, which is towards the deeper. The Absolute is the most fundamental, and the personal mind is the most superficial.
Diamond Heart Book Four, pg. 346
The Absolute Never Changes Regardless of the Never-Ending Manifestation
We may think of this relationship as some form of duality, for there is the absolute and there is its radiance. However, it is not exactly duality, nor is it coemergence. The emanation is not separate from or other than the absolute; rather, it is the radiance of the absolute. If we only knew coemergence of manifestation with the absolute, it might be difficult for us to recognize the true relationship between the absolute and manifest reality, which is that the absolute is always transcendent to manifest forms, regardless of how nondual it is with them. The absolute dimension reveals this relation in a completely clear and unmistakable way: the absolute is always pure and transcendent regardless how immanent it is in manifestation. In other words, regardless of how nondual and inseparable is the absolute from manifest reality, it is always itself. It never leaves its mystery, never leaves its ontological status of transcending both being and nonbeing, never leaves its simplicity and emptiness. More precisely, the absolute never changes regardless of the never-ending manifestation. Because of this we can express this dimension in the paradoxical statement that “the absolute never changes even though it is in constant transformation.”
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 420
The Ground of All Grounds
This also means that when there is no perception there is no consciousness. This black mystery is an awareness so absolute that it possesses no ground to look back at and be aware of. It cannot be an object of perception, for it is the absolute subject. It is absolutely nothing, so there is nothing for it to be aware of when it is aware of itself. It is absolutely being the awareness. This is why the word “absolute” seems to fit it. It has no back. It is the ground of all grounds, the final background. To look backwards only leads awareness back to more superficial dimensions, usually back to appearance.
The world is my front,
And my back is the mystery.
There is identification with the absolute, just as with the clear crystalline presence. I experience it as my very identity, as the very substance of me. Yet there is no feeling of identity. I am identified with the absolute, without the concept or feeling of identity or self. There is no feeling of I, or identity, just the apperception of the absolute, and recognizing I am none other than that.
Luminous Night's Journey, pg. 62
The Source of Nonconceptual Awareness
But when the absolute looks at itself, it doesn’t see anything. There is nothing to perceive. If you look at the absolute, experience altogether disappears and the next thing you know you are back looking at phenomena. If you sense into it, there is nothing to sense. The absolute is not only nonconceptual, but also it is the source of nonconceptual awareness. And it is subtler than pure, primordial awareness, because there is no perception of sensation and no capacity for self-reflection. The capacity for self-reflection disappears here. In pure awareness, you can self-reflect even though you don’t have to. Here, if you self-reflect, nothing happens—experience stops; it is a non-event. It’s like what you see when you look into nonbeing. This dimension of absolute reality brings in the mysterious darkness, the luminous night.
Runaway Realization, pg. 192
The Ultimate Beloved of the Heart
The Absolute is the realm of complete mystery, or of bedazzlement, as the Sufis say. And only here will the heart feel it has arrived home, at long last. There is wonder, there is beauty, there is Majesty, but it is all mystery upon mystery. The peace is stupendous, the certainty is absolute and the beauty is dazzling. It is the ultimate Beloved of the heart, the Spirit of spirits, and the mystery of all existence. It is the absolute Presence of absolute annihilation, which is then seen to be the primal cause of all. Obviously such words make no sense to the mind, but when consciousness finally reaches this its final abode, the heart will hear these words as music.
Pearl Beyond Price, pg. 471
The Ultimate Mystery of the Absolute
This is part of the mystery of true nature, which appears as the ultimate mystery of the absolute. Experientially we recognize both pure awareness and the absolute as nonconceptual. Yet they are phenomenologically different. They differ as day differs from night. Pure nonconceptual awareness is clear, colorless, transparent light that feels like the coemergence of presence and absence. We see a vast expansive space, clear and colorless, bright and limpid. It is a space full of light, just like space in daylight. Yet, it is also a presence with the sense of solidity and fullness. In experiencing the absolute, we perceive a transparent and clear space, but dark, so dark it is absolutely black. The blackness is not a color, but the absence of light. In other words, nonconceptual awareness possesses light while the absolute is ontologically prior to light. They are both transcendent to being and nonbeing, but they differ in their relation to light. We can say that the absolute is the mystery prior to light, but at the same time the source of light.The first light that manifests in it is the nonconceptual light, pure awareness. In other words, both are empty of ultimate existence, but the absolute is much more empty. It is even empty of light, awareness, and hence can be experienced as cessation. Looking into pure awareness we see transparent and light-filled space, pervading all manifest forms, and constituting them. Looking into the absolute we first see darkness, but if we focus on it completely, our awareness spontaneously turns around and we find ourselves witnessing manifestation.
The Inner Journey Home, pg. 393
We can be Centered in the Absolute While all Kinds of Other Things are Stirring in the Soul
We had the direct knowledge that the Absolute is what we are. But some dissatisfaction would still arise in our soul consciousness, signifying that the soul needed to become more refined in a new or different way. When the Absolute expresses through the belly center, for example, issues regarding poverty and the instincts have to be faced. In the mind, it's about dealing with blocks to pure perception. Through the heart, it's all about coming to understand what keeps us from recognizing that we are both the lover and the Beloved. The ongoing process of clarification and refinement shows we can be centered in the Absolute while all kinds of other things are stirring in the soul. This simply means that the soul does not have knowledge of all the ways it is in relation to, and in service to, the Absolute. So the next thing to be understood or relinquished arrives, and fear might take hold at any point.
The Jeweled Path, pg. 266
When the Absolute is Realized as One's True Identity
One realizes the Absolute as one's true identity, totally beyond all manifestations, but containing them within its mysterious vastness. The emphasis is on the transcendence of the world, including the body and mind. One becomes the immense solidity of the absolute, totally still and inactive, while dispassionately witnessing the play of all phenomena. He witnesses all phenomena as the dynamic transformation of a cosmic and boundless consciousness, which consciousness arises in his silent immensity as a surface phenomenon. In the vastness of his silence, the world arises in all its multiplicity, but all the world is made out of a conscious presence, a Presence which is a consciousness that can reflect on itself.

Alpine Lumber Co., Westminster, Colo., has purchased five lumberyards from Las Vegas, Nev.-based A.C. Houston Lumber Co., Alpine president Bill Miller confirmed Monday, April 7. The stores are in Angel Fire, Gallup and Farmington, N.M., and in Crested Butte and Durango, Colo. Financial details weren't disclosed.
Miller said the transaction was closed last week and that Alpine's signs already are up at the facilities.
A.C. Houston vice president Michael Murray said the compay "will be continuing operations in California, Nevada and Idaho and look forward to growing when the opportunity presents itself."
Alpine ranked 38th on the 2007 ProSales 100 with 17 locations, while A.C. Houston was 42nd on the list with nine facilities as of the start of 2008.

WSOP final tables and trying not to salivate on my keyboard. You'd think checking results online would scratch the itch, but instead it's made me more excited. I believe this will be my sixth consecutive year to play in a WSOP event. I've entered the Seniors Event and cashed two out of the five previous times. Last year, I crossed off a bucket list item by playing the Main Event (see here) and cashed at 477th.
This year, I've expanded my schedule slightly. The WSOP has done a terrific job of making more events appealing to schlubs. The Colossus, the Millionaire Maker, the Monster Stack -- these are events that appeal to the masses, myself included. They've added something called the Super Seniors, an event for players 65 years of age and older -- yum!
I'm leaving Thursday and planning on playing Event No. 28 -- Monster Stack. There are two starting days: this Friday and/or Saturday. I arrive late Thursday. Which day I play depends on how jet-lagged I am. I'd like to play Friday and have a day of rest before Day 2 (assuming I advance), but we'll see.
Then, of course I'm playing the Seniors (Event No. 40) -- that's become a tradition for me. It starts Friday, June 19. If I don't make it to Sunday, then I'll play the Super Seniors (Event No. 43) which starts then.
When it doesn't interfere with my play, I'll update via Twitter @memphismojo.
You can see the schedule for all the WSOP events here.
What else is going on? Well, there are great tournaments all over Las Vegas during this time. Rob Solomon did a great job summarizing them here. Because there is so much competition, most of the tournaments have great structures. Players think they want slow blind levels with lots of chips. I'm not sure it helps most of them, but they do get more play and last longer, so more bang for their buck.
I also hope to get my yoga fix on off days. I found an interesting place called Blue Sky Yoga that I may have to check out.
Viva Las Vegas and GoGo MOJO.

It’s interesting to have a cross over between a character who originated in the 1940s and a character created in the 1980s as an homage to the 1940s. In the hands of Mark Waid the team up works.
I have to admit that this is one of those times when I’m one of those people, “I never read the comics but I loved the movies!”. Sorry, but it’s true. The Spirit and The Rocketeer are two films I love but I never have read any of the source material, I’m somewhat embarrassed to say.
Still I suspect Waid’s comic is a decent rendering of them both. It has a nice pulpy feel to it but with more than a bit of tongue in cheek. This is definitely not a comic that takes itself too seriously. The female characters are hysterical, the men obviously live in fear of displeasing them. They control via their feminine wiles.
The Spirit gets caught up in a case because of his girlfriend. A friend of her father’s has been murdered but his body turns up hundreds of miles away in California even though he was just in Central City the night before. Coincidentally his body was found by The Rocketeer’s lady friend. The Spirit, his girlfriend and her father (who is the police commissioner) all head out to the coast. There of course they encounter The Rocketeer and his cast of characters. They even have the obligatory meet-up battle.
This is a fun book. Its one of those really rare occasions when I wanted more pages when I got to the end. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I will definitely continue picking this up. You should too, I highly recommend it.

Commissioner Dolan, along with Denny Colt (AKA The Spirit) and his daughter Ellen in tow, treks out to the City of Angels to investigate. Meanwhile, Cliff Secord (The Rocketeer) consoles his sweetheart Betty…

Those worried about whether the internet will kill the local retailers have either a positive sign or another reason to worry. Location-based shopping company Retailigence has announced its first round of developer applications. The apps use the Retailigence API to look for products in stock at local stores, by either keyword or barcode. Brick and mortar retailers have long feared similar technology, which could be used to find a better deal online, where there are not the same real estate costs. Retailigence hope to flip that for local retailers, making it easy for consumers to shop locally.

With a total area of 6,099 km2 and a population of 1,109,600 people, Quang Ninh is one of the biggest provinces along the northeastern coastline of Vietnam. Quang Ninh’s nickname, the Secure Serenity, somehow tells us a lot about that peaceful and spectacular land. It is home to the famous UNESCO’s World Heritage Site: Ha Long Bay, which belongs to the province’s capital: Ha Long City.
The province of Bac Kan, also known as Bac Can, is a mountainous region in the northern part of Vietnam. With an area of 4868.4 sq. km, it adjoins many other provinces such as Cao Bang (to the north), Tuyen Quang (to the west), Lang Son (to the south-east) and Thai Nguyen (to the south). Most of Bac Kan’s surface are mountains and hills, accompanied by a complicated network of springs, streams and rivers.
Cao Bang is a province located in the North-East region of Vietnam. Sharing borders with China on the north and east sides, it also adjoins Bac Kan and Lang Son provinces on the south side, and Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang provinces on the west side. As a result, Cao Bang’s location enables it to be involved in many phases of the country’s history and to be an important administration unit nowadays.
Phu Tho is a province located in the North-eastern part of Vietnam. It shares the border with Tuyen Quang, Yen Bai, Vinh Phuc, Ha Noi, Son La, Hoa Binh provinces. With Viet Tri city as its capital, Phu Tho Province is only 80km away from Hanoi. Noi Bai International Air Port lies between the two cities, locating 50km to the North-west of Viet Tri City.
Lang Son is a northern province of Vietnam which borders Cao Bang Province to the North, Sung Ta Province (China) to the northeast, Bac Giang Province to the south, Quang Ninh Province to the east, Bac Kan Province to the West and Thai Nguyen Province to the southwest. With two international border gates, Dong Dang and Huu Nghi, Lang Son holds an important position in Vietnam economy. In addition to the two gates, the province also possesses 7 markets along its border with China.

Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
A man who had worked for the city for the greater part of three decades was vindicated by the Seventh Circuit in a non-accommodation claim. The man had claimed that the city fired him for not having a commercial license -- an item that was impossible for him to acquire because of diabetes he'd developed over the years.
This very interesting ADA-retaliation case mixes employment law and politics. Employers should pay attention to the tone of this court carefully.
Mr. Jack Brown worked for the city of Anderson, Indiana in its transit system for a number of years. The City of Anderson Transit had employed him in all manner of positions including street supervisor and mechanic. He had been employed through the election of a new city mayor. His fortunes seemed to reflect the ebb and flow of the political landscape at the time.
Brown suffered from diabetes, which eventually caused him to lose his commercial drivers' license. He was fired from the CAT on two theories. One, he was fired for having given support to the then incumbent mayor's opponent and two, the city violated the ADA for failing to accommodate his disability.
The lower court dismissed Brown's summary judgment motion on the issue of political retaliation and sent the issue to the jury. They found against him because the facts were just too tenuous.
However, Brown was victorious against the city on his ADA claim. The city had sought to dodge liability by claiming that Brown's lack of a CDL was crucial to his job. But an examination of the facts indicated that, in the position he was terminated from, he would have never have needed to drive a bus and use his CDL. And even if he did, a replacement driver could be found easily. Therefore, the upper court affirmed and found no abuse of discretion.
Brown's compensatory damages and damages totaled about $90,000.
