On being yourself
Eckhart Tolle explains the process of entering the “miraculous” state of presence that is always available to us. We are lost, he says, in the maze of our own compulsive thoughts.

The Baloney detection kit
With a sea of information coming at us from all directions, how do we sift out the misinformation and bogus claims, and get to the truth? Michael Shermer of Skeptic Magazine lays out a “Baloney Detection Kit,” ten questions we should ask when encountering a claim.
The Easter Bunny
Some of you are probably wondering what is the connection between Easter, Jesus and this cute adorable bunny that everyone talks about during this Spring holiday, so here it goes:
The Easter Bunny is a mythological rabbit who brings eggs and candy to children on the Easter holiday. The Easter bunny possibly has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.
The precise origin of the ancient custom of coloring eggs is not known. Greeks to this day typically dye their Easter eggs red, the color of blood, in recognition of the renewal of life in springtime (and, later, the blood of the sacrificed Christ). Some also use the color green, in honor of the new foliage emerging after the long dead time of winter. (wikipedia.org)
That’s right people, Easter is just another pagan holiday that found it’s “rightful” place inside the christian religion. I guess old habits die hard.
And now, for the moment of entertainment, to wipe off some of those pious faces we all grew accustomed to during Easter- I present to you the REAL easter bunny, the one that f*cking hates you!
