Playing our Part - Deepak Chopra at Zeitgeist Americas 2011
1) The body is a process: it is recycled 100% every year!
2) The mind is a relational & embodies process that regulates the flow of energy & info in our bodies.
3) For every mental event there is a brain representation.
4) Core consciousness (the 'soul') transcends the mind & the body. Creativity, choice, freedom, possibility etc.. reside here.

And if not now, when?
by +Rula Zein-Iddin
*****************************
Seasons changing
Quite deranging
Sunny now
Sweaty brow
Cloudy later
Cold hater
Dust or fog
Or is it smog?
What to wear
Or do you care?
Not just physical
In fact quite whimsical
Shorter days
Mean quick forays
Less time to think
Puts you on the brink
The mad despair
And pulling of hair
Oh how will I cope
Do I abandon all hope?
Longer nights
Shorter days
I say without hesitation
No more futile procrastination
For change is the only constant
It is the one true portent
Live each day as though your last
And never ever regret the past
You are your one true master
The point was never to do it faster
Live and enjoy every moment
Explore and breathe that true fulfillment
What's done, is done
What will be done, may be done
What is now, is now.
So go with the flow
Breathe freely
Look deeply
Feel strongly
Live happily.
Always.

Enough is enough

Who Am I?
1.I was named after a nomadic tribe. My life has been nomadic. Beware what you name your kids – it can be self-fulfilling.
2.I was born in a country whose passport I do not hold yet originate from a country whose passport I cannot hold. I never felt I belonged anywhere and yet I am told that I belong everywhere I go. Go figure.
3. I love to travel. In fact I must travel. I need to meet new people, feel different cultures, feast my eyes on new scenery & explore ideas. It rejuvenates me.
4. I cannot stand routine. It is a slow mind-numbing death.
5. I hate injustice. It makes my blood boil & my mind rage.
6. I worship chocolate. I must eat 4 squares of dark chocolate every day otherwise I feel deprived.
7. I adore any kind of competitive sport and get a real kick out of team sports.
8. I love all racket sports. I play squash to win – it’s the only way I know.
9. I must have a professional challenge in my life. I love to rise to the occasion and break new barriers. In fact, I crave it.
10. I love it when someone defies me or under-estimates me & I prove them wrong. Petty I know but oh so very satisfying.
11. I live each day with the aim of either trying something new or learning something new. Ideally both.
12. I adore bright sunny days with blue skies and a cool breeze. I love the smell of freshly mown grass. I am the weirdo who stops to notice the shapes of clouds, the colour of the sunset, the smell of flowers and the busy ant hill.
13. I was born by the sea. Every fibre in my being wants to live by the sea again. I think the sea is the nearest we can come on earth to feeling, seeing & touching God.
14. I buy my Wii games following detailed conversations & analyses with 13 years old addicts. I am & will remain a kid at heart.
15. I feel 21. Still. On good days I even think I look it.
16. I worship the art of food. I love to cook it, see it, share it & devour it. It is my never-ending passion.
17. I write. Now. I stopped when I was 18 and lost my way in the rat race of studying & working. Writing is how I reconnect with my soul. It works.
18. I love people but I also love my space. I need room to think. To imagine. To breathe. To create.
19. I adore information technology. Any kind but I am not an early adopter nor do I fall for fads. I will never own an iPhone nor an Apple Computer. I just don’t get the attraction. The alternatives have higher functionality – why limit yourself just to be cool?
20. I have a huge assortment of books sorted by category. In fact I hoard them like a squirrel hoards nuts. When I discover a subject that interests me I start a new collection.
21. The internet is my life blood. It is the window to the world. I can usually find an answer to any question that occurs to me at the press of a button.
22. I have a rabbit. His name is Sunshine. Everything about him makes me smile.

Arab Emancipation
Gleaming pride
No fear to hide
Heads held high
Reaching the sky
Hear them roar
From shore to shore
The Egyptians have spoken
All chains forever broken
Who could have thought
Such an end to the drought
Freedom & Liberation
The birth of a Nation
A role model for all
That dictators must fall
The true emancipation
Of a proud Arab Nation
No fear to hide
Heads held high
Reaching the sky
Hear them roar
From shore to shore
The Egyptians have spoken
All chains forever broken
Who could have thought
Such an end to the drought
Freedom & Liberation
The birth of a Nation
A role model for all
That dictators must fall
The true emancipation
Of a proud Arab Nation
The Re-Birth of Arab Pride
Sheer elation. Indescribable admiration. A sense of pride. But most of all, awe.
They pulled it off. And how!
If you ever doubt that you can make a difference, take a leaf out of Egypt's latest papyrus. They have irrevocably changed the course of history in the Middle East!
For the past 18 days we watched, cheered & cried in desperation & frustration as the fortitude & resilience of the protesters was challenged time & time again.
The culmination of their sheer determination & national pride was inspirational.
That people of all walks of life could be so united & connected helped renew our faith not only in humanity but in our very ethnicity.
Long reputed to be Om il-Donya (Mother of the World), Egypt delivered. They have reunited Arabs with their essence and more importantly reminded us that human dignity & freedom are basic rights that we are all entitled to.
People power in the age of social media is no longer a myth. We can make a difference. Small ripples lead to huge changes.
"Yes we can" has been usurped by "Yes we did!" . Egyptian's have walked the talk and set a role model not just for Arabs but for people everywhere.
Clearly the road to Egypt's liberation from 30 years of regime abuse & corruption will take time but when 80 million people share the same vision & aspirations, they can move pyramids, literally.
