People look at me like I am crazy about laughing at the curtent situation, Donald Trump, President and the problems associated with a Republican majority in House, Senate, and the Presidentcy. It is all true and we the people are going to be following with a pooper scooper for awhile after D. J. Trump is out of office. How terrible! A lot of people would say that and I think it is all uncannily silly and at times, uproariously funny. Well, where's the joke someone might ask. The joke is on you, on all of us. Hillary was going to be a shoe in. She did get the majority of the vote. But Trump took the Electoral vote and really is the President of the United States. How wickedly twisted! And "A few patriotic Russian hackers" ( Vladimir Putin, around May sometime 2017) may have influenced the vote. At this moment, Congress and the FBI are looking into it. I think it is hilarious! Sorry kids. See the thing is, that this life too is emptiness, just a cloud blowing your mind. It is not that the situation is not serious, as it is with every President, we all have to live the life we do. Changing our life circumstances is changing our karma. Be cheerful in your lives though, and don't be a part of whatever bad is happening. Be cheerful in the transformation of American politics, even though only a dream.

Meditation Is Not It Either
People see me post day after day a notice that I have done 60 or 61 or like tonight 72 minutes of sitting meditation. Yoga is not only a method of raising your consciousness to some level of exhalted bliss. Yoga is much more about what you do in the other 23 hours of the day. Do you use your sensitivity to construct a positive life around you? Are you building a healthy mindscape for you to live in? Are you developing your intelligence to solve your life problems? Are you building a healthy external atmosphere that brings happiness, to be, in this world and joy in the life you are leading. Meditation is a tool that you can use to refresh your mind and resolve negative ego issues. It is not some big ego offloading thing but just the ability to quiet incessant tugs of desires long enough to let ego structure settle into a more healthy happy, compassionate and loving mindframe, like nature fills in weak structures by ccollapsing into the weak and fills with stronger structure. And this is not candyass advice. Most people are always complaining about their lives. Meditation is a tool that allows you to do something about it, starting with the person in the mirror.
