How to be a Spiritual Player: Learning how to go beyond the thinking mind

“I think, therefore I am”, those are the famous words of philosopher René Descartes. Most people, whether they know it or not, live by this statement - they think they are their thoughts. When times are good this feels great. But when times get challenging our thoughts can cause us a lot of pain. They can make it hard to study, they can make us feel anxious, they can ruin our relationships and they can make life a real struggle.

So how do you go beyond the mind? How can you start to live the life of a Spiritual Player and not become a victim of your thoughts?

Join speaker Dhrumil Purohit on Monday October 6th at 8pm for a facinating 1 hour talk on becoming a Spiritual Player and learning to go beyond the thinking mind.

Dhrumil Purohit is a 26 year old writer, speaker and entrepreneur living in Delaware. He’s the team lead and creator of We Like It Raw, a popular health and lifestyle blog.

You can sell it, you can offer subscriptions to it, you can talk about it, etc. But what’s more interesting — and easier — is making money again of something that already made you money before.” Making money twice, SvN Blog

“For years now, they’ve told us that we can’t afford—that the government providing healthcare to all people is just unimaginable; it can’t be done. We don’t have the money to rebuild our infrastructure. We don’t have the money to wipe out poverty. We can’t do it. But all of a sudden, yeah, we do have $700 billion for a bailout of Wall Street.” Sen. Bernie Sanders on Democracy Now! (via glueslabs) (via toldorknown) (via tedr) (via rafer) (via bijan)

@planetmoney has a great podcast about the unprecedented power shift that's going to occur in this bailout.

I have feeling this was the plan all along.

“As long as you perceive that anyone is holding you back, you have not taken full responsibility for your own liberation. Liberation means that you stand free of making demands on others and life to make you happy. When you discover yourself to be nothing but Freedom, you stop setting up conditions and requirements that need to be satisfied in order for you to be happy.” Adyashanti on How To Treat People

How big can a black hole grow?

Just how big can a black hole grow? Two astronomers reckon they have worked out the answer: colossal black holes with a mass of up to 50 billion suns could be lurking out there – but that’s the limit.

Imagine for a minute that attending the Republican convention in St. Paul, sitting in a skybox overlooking the convention floor, were observers from Russia, Iran and Venezuela. And imagine for a minute what these observers would have been doing when Rudy Giuliani led the delegates in a chant of “drill, baby, drill!”

I’ll tell you what they would have been doing: the Russian, Iranian and Venezuelan observers would have been up out of their seats, exchanging high-fives and joining in the chant louder than anyone in the hall — “Yes! Yes! Drill, America, drill!” — because an America that is focused first and foremost on drilling for oil is an America more focused on feeding its oil habit than kicking it.
