I have satellite radio in my truck and I mostly listen to the blues station. That is where I first heard him. Here is his site where you can listen to his music. My link

Just discovered this blues singer this summer. He really sings the blues!

This has nothing to do with the theme of this thread! Either offer creative constructive advice or don't post here with your conservative, religious ideology!

I forgot to mention that I have 7 years of college with a degree. In spite of all the course work, what I value most, was learning how to think well.

IMO education is very important and that does not necessarily mean a university education. Given the chaotic state of the economy, many college graduates are finding work in their chosen profession difficult and many times impossible. I think the most important skill anyone can master is critical thinking which will give one the ability to sort through confusing disinformation, whether it be family, political, education and in your case career choices. Given your age, it is much too early to pressure yourself for life long career decisions. If I were you, I would pack my bags and travel for a few years and use that time to really get to know yourself and perhaps interact with other cultures. In that process, you could learn a new language, meet interesting people and have a great time. I would also recommend the Silva programs, which have been of immense benefit to me in overcoming BS that was rooted deep in my psyche. I would recommend Laura Silva's programs which are more up to date than what her father taught. I have several papers on critical thinking and would be glad to forward via email to you.

Still no revelation from tulku on this mythical female Bodhisattva. I don't believe she exists except in tulku's imagination. :lol:

You can't even answer a direct question.

Why so secretive about this woman? Why not tell us who she is.

The idea of purity which is another term for sexual and emotional suppression, stems from religious ideology, which is nothing but propaganda and the end result is crowd control. You are not the one in control, but a follower. You have yet to identify your puritanical ideal women to us. I still maintain you found a photo online and are using that to promote your ideology.

Exactly who is this person? For all I know, you found a photo online and created a story.

Your ideological narrative is a result of suppressed emotion and fear. Your views are no different than right wing fascist religious fundamentalism. I would suggest reading some history as opposed to believing the voices in your head!

I just finished watching the 6 DVD series, 'The Pacific'. The interviews of the Marine survivors in the last DVD were sobering. Eugene Sledge and Robert Leckie both stated that they never healed from the horror they faced as Marines during WWII. I object to the New Age feel good notion, that "love and light" will save anyone. That is an illusion. There are no easy answers for dealing with trauma.

Denial of what?

Feel good advice accomplishes nothing in the face of PTSD or trauma of any kind. I speak from experience. I would recommend this. It works! http://rapideyetechnology.com/index.htm

Sheila Aliens? :lol: UFO stands for 'unidentified flying object' and to imply an alien invasion or whatever one wants to project onto this visual phenomenon, is stretching it.

Clove oil? You have got to be kidding me! This is just abject physical abuse based in fear and a misunderstanding of the way things are!

You make accusations against me only based on emotion and not fact! You don't even know who I am and yet you categorize me based on what? The problem is, you want to attack me as opposed to having a real discourse on this issue. Ad hominem attacks are not appreciated.

That is an accusation that is false and I resent it! I do my own research and think for myself. What you and Vortex write is based on emotion and not fact. There are massive amounts of evidence against Gaddafi to bring him to trial!

What country are you from?

@Vortex, Here is the case against Gaddafi. Remember the Lockerbie bombing and other atrocities he ordered? BTW, David Icke is a conspiracy hack and doesn't belong in this conversation. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/03/01/the-case-for-prosecuting-muammar-gaddafi-at-the-international-criminal-court.html Another article written by a Libyan born surgeon as to the poor state of Libya's health care system. http://www.tripolipost.com/articledetail.asp?c=5&i=3280 The real point is that Gaddafi committed war crimes against humanity and must answer for those in the Hague's ICC.

Obama is President and does not have dictatorial powers to do anything he wants. There is something called the 'separation of powers' in the U.S. He must work with the Congress in order to get things done. Obviously you know very little as to how the U.S. government works!

By tomorrow if all goes well!

In case you didn't read, Muammar Gaddafi is wanted by the International Court in the Hague, for war crimes against his own people. He is a dictator and not a progressive as you so blindly believe! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8493132/Muammar-Gaddafi-facing-war-crimes-arrest-warrant.html
