A True Light in the current darkness of DC

Revisado: 02-02-19

Aloha, to whom it may concern. We had a true jewel in the White House, in the Obama era. I was on the verge of tears throughout as the author evokes the passion and intelligence of a person who is a always moving for deeper compassion and understanding within herself and outside. A true Yogi. I lived with her every word these last couple of weeks traveling about my life as I do, and looking forward to the moments when I could listen to her voice and her words. I recommend this intelligent loving narrative of Michelle's life. I identified with her humble upbringing and struggles as a female in a male dominated world, for which we still are working uphill. I understood and identified with bringing up girls in this culture. I felt every emotion of pain at the violence in our society and the inequeties and lack of justice in the power structures. I also cried when she expressed how even then as now, the country has not grown up or evolved in the consciousness that we are all one race, one human race, one human Earth peoples, separated only by .1 percent genetically. Our differences are merely superficial. I am dismayed at the ignorance I see and that is also revealed by our elegant and brilliant first woman/lady. Listen to her. You'll enjoy and feel triumphant in every chapter and journey she travels. Lu

creative tour de force

Revisado: 01-07-19

Aloha, While I've always enjoyed Mr. Arkin's film work, I never lived near NY--though my husband was raised on Mott Street--so I'm not familiar with his Broadway work. He is someone I have always been able to identify with. (We have loved watching the Kaminski Method ) I just finished listening to this reading and feel a kinship of spirit. I wonder if you, Alan, are familiar with the teaching of J. Krishnamurti? I discovered him in my early 20s in the 1970s. Through my 46 years as a Yoga Therapist, and teaching for the last 20+ years in Oahu incarcerated population, and K's teaching, I have had most parallel experiences as Mr. A.--many teachings leading to the awareness that we are our own best teacher. This reading is inspiring and helpful that, though we may sometimes feel alone in this personal and public work, that we universally are connected, I'm very grateful to you for that. Mahalo.

Candice Pert is a creative, innovative, scientist.

Revisado: 08-15-17

Candice Pert is an inspiration. She explains new complex science very well for the novice student. Thank you, Candice. I wish your male colleagues weren't anti feminist. They make so much trouble for smart women. It's so 19th century.

I love the truth being told. Between Sam Harris and Al Franken, I feel quite enriched. Now what? One can never carry on as usual. I will share some of the text with my incarcerated Yoga students. No group needs enlightening more. I've been working on this for 25 years. Mahalo, Lu.

What could be better than an honest human being? Though challenging, honesty works best. Hurrah for the good guys.

brilliant

Revisado: 04-22-17

One doesn't have to be of any skin color to recognize we are all one race one people. To have white skin and see the suffering and prejudice of any fellow human is...well there is no word to express this sorrow. James comes as close as anyone to explaining how skin color has corrupted so many. The continuation of this sorrowful condition of our present humanity is ignorant beyond the belief of what we know of our brains' capacity for empathy, compassion and understanding--basic intelligence. When will we wake, for heaven's sake?
