In what could hardly be called a surprise, the UN Human Rights Council chastised the US over its epidemic of police violence, discrimination, needless killings, and general neglect, following through with recommendations made in its first review in 2010.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) takes place every four years to scrutinize the human and civil rights practices of each of the UN’s 193 member nations. Delegates from 117 countries took the opportunity to lambaste the US’ record of civil rights violations exacted by its brutal and racist police forces.

Six days a week, Nasir Sobhani is a hard-working barber who is overcoming his own challenges in life by pushing himself to master his craft. Rather than electing to take the 7th day off, however, Nasir uses that time to give back to his community in hopes of inspiring a fresh start for those who need it, just as he once did.

He calls his off-day outreach work “Clean Cut Clean Start,” offering free haircuts to the homeless. Now known as The Street’s Barber, Nasir not only provides a fresh new hairstyle, but more importantly, a level of heartfelt connection and attention to individuals that, for the most part, are used to being faced with the exact opposite.

If you could see that the unfoldment of life is pure magic, you would stop to savour all of life’s stages, and move into a deep satisfaction with your experience, regardless of what was happening. You would harness the gifts that exist for you in all phases of the flow, and enjoy a far greater state of grace, ease and peace because the resistance would be replaced with acceptance and appreciation. You would finally allow yourself to experience the divine perfection of it all. ~Archangel Gabriel

If it is yours, OWN IT.  If it is not, let it go.  There is no shame in saying, “I’m sorry” or “I was wrong”. ~ Creator

7 Behaviors Of Emotionally Wealthy People That You Should Emulate

By Damian Pros | Dumb Little Man | Dare and Conquer

“Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character” – Albert Einstein

Being emotionally wealthy is an essential part of your success as it determines your attitude and thoughts towards life. People who are emotionally strong have a bigger potential to become successful than those who are emotionally weak.

Media can communicate many different messages to us. It can be messages of subservience or messages of liberation. This time, it’s the latter. The first clip is from Charlie Chaplin’s film, The Great Dictator. His monologue stated:

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone – if possible – Jew, Gentile – black man – white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness – not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

God said:

It is I Who is your servant, dear child. You protest. You say: “God, that You serve does not make You a servant.”

Beloved beloved, We are not We but One, and, so it is that the Served is the Server. Or, it can be said, that there is Self-Service, and this is all there can be. You have heard before that the Seeker is the Sought. The One Who finds can only find himself. If there is only Oneness, the Fullness of Oneness, then it can also be said that there is no one to seek. There is only the Found. That which you seek is Thy Own Self. Can Oneness hunt Oneness?

In this sense, grammar plays a part. There is a big division and intricate display of that which is named grammar. Only straight-out Being is True. You are the Be-er of Being. There is no action, interaction, or cross-action. Grammar tries to keep you in place.

It has been said that John loves Mary, yet love is not exactly movement. Love is Being. It cannot correctly be said that John loves Mary. It can correctly be said that John loves, the sun shines, water is wet, yet nothing goes anywhere or can land anywhere. In one sense, it cannot truthfully be said that Being is everywhere because there is no space for Being to go to. Being is full, yet there is no somewhere for Being to travel to or from or to be received or given.

Of course, science says that the truth is that everything is in motion as unseen atoms streaming when Life is still life. Only Stillness exists.

All speech is a manner of speech.

Existence is life.
