Integral Post-metaphysical Spirituality

What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century?  How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanity's ancient wisdom traditions?  How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times?

This group is for...(more)

This is where the locals meet when they're not inquiring, deconstructing, or re-visioning the great traditions. A rustic, slightly seedy little place, named after its dishwasher.

Once again the cheap rethoric of Joe Lieberman, - it looks like he is doing the piccolo job for the AIPAC and Tel Aviv in Washington,- is giving some “pearls” to extreme-conservative medias like FOX news, so happy to make it a mega-case.
the recent tragedy in Fort Hood (Texas) is of course, according to that “pundit”, as case of terrorism.

No words about the overt and constant creepy racism against the americans of arab orign and muslim confession as a direct  cause of this event.

So cool scapegoats at close range!!

But not much noise when it is about “christian warriors” like UNA-bomber or Terry McVeigh, they are only “mentally insanes”.

Not a big surprise in the land of Jerry Falwell and his mob like “christian legions” everywhere,

For that so called “independant” , after the Irak war of course ranging himself on the side of Bush,  Lieberman and his big mouth, every palestinian is a potential terrorist. And it is not the first time, his anti-arab racism is that transparent. 

Isn´t highly time to denounce this disturbing virulance. The US are an society, and not the exclusive property of fundamentalistic judeo-chritian propaganda like of that late  Samuel Huntington et al. wished to be.

And there is also something obviously deranging, the tragic-comic of the occupation of that Hasan dude, a psychiatrist.
The pseudo-scientific character of Psychiatry denounced during so many decades by the profesor of psychiatry Thomas Szasz is more than ever so under the light.

In other words, the too suspect bias of Joe Lieberman has to be seriously criticized because of the subtle destructive consequences of such abusive utterances
