Ultrarunner Essie Garrett raised $1 million for Colorado charities
DENVER, CO, JAN. 10, 2005 - Colorado gov. Bill Owens receives the Martin Luther King Jr. torch from Essie Garrett from the Emily Griffith School on the west step of the Colorado Capitol Building on January 10, 2005. The torch traveled to different locations around the state before returning to Denver to kick off that year's Martin Luther King, Jr. celebrations in the city. (Kathryn Scott Osler, The Denver Post)

Essie Garrett, whose knee-length dreadlocks and sunny perseverance made her one of Colorado's most recognizable ultra-distance runners and extraordinary fundraisers, died April 1. She was 74, according to personnel records.
Garrett grew up in Riesel, Texas, joined the Army when she was 16, and served for three years before moving to Denver. Around that time, she became a follower of Sri Chinmoy, the Indian spiritual master who believed enlightenment could be achieved through disciplined athletics, including long-distance running and swimming.
A solidly built woman with an inquisitive gaze and a deliberate way of speaking, Garrett taught refrigeration mechanics at Emily Griffith Opportunity School for more than two decades.
Most of her students were male. They were surprised to find that their instructor was a female, then even more surprised at her self-assured competence with electronics.
She often ran from her longtime home in north Park Hill to the school's downtown campus, her dreads bound in a ponytail that bounced heavily on her back.
"She was always coming up with different ideas for fundraising," said Chris Millius, who worked with Garrett at the school.
"She led a walking group at lunchtime. What I remember most about her was that I'd be driving to work, and I'd see Essie running through Five Points or City Park."
Nearly always, she was in training for a goal. First, it was the Leadville Trail 100, the punishing 100-mile race that initially defeated her when she was caught in a thunderstorm on one of the passes.

Viewpoint: The point behind the chalk throw
Utah is iconic in its religiosity. People all over the country know that the Beehive State is among the most spiritual of the country. It houses one of the largest spiritual festivals in the Western hemisphere, bringing tens of thousands of people to celebrate each year.
This is not General Conference. This festival is the celebration of Holi, the Hindu tradition to usher in spring.
Over 70,000 people gathered at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork last weekend, ringing in the new season with music, love and brightly colored powder lobbed back and forth. No one leaves the Festival of Colors without looking like someone ripped out of a Dr. Seuss book.
This celebration is met with open arms by the local Hindu priests. Caru Das, one of the temples priests, believes the nondenominational appeal drives the festival.
Its an opportunity for young kids to come and celebrate their spirituality, without alcohol or drugs . . . to glorify or spread the name and fame of Gods love.
This holistic approach to community bonding is unique to Utah, having been altered from the original ceremonies in India. Chalk warfare was a new addition, according to Das.
This is an oddity in an otherwise reserved, if not homogenous state. One of the unsettling suspicions of many observers is that these powder-plastered celebrators dont know what theyre celebrating.
This is a double-edged sword. Religious celebration is undoubtedly cultural in its roots, and can be celebrated as such, but its troubling to think that the celebration would be cut off from its origins. Is there a way to be inclusive and simultaneously respectful to the religion involved?
The Signpost doesnt have an answer to that question, but its still a question worth asking.
On one hand, religious diversity offers cultural appreciation and unity that few other events can replicate. Midnight masses, Rosh Hashanah and Halloween (originally a Celtic sacred holiday) offer community involvement rivaled by few other holidays.

Opinion: Competitive Games Can Be Meditative
Ever since I bought a discounted copy of FIFA 13 in late 2013, I have been playing it almost every day for the past six months, and recently Ive been trying to figure out why. Ive come up with an idea. Even though at times competitive games can lead to rage and frustration, they can also be meditative, because they require you to be in the moment for every second you are playing them.
Recently Ive been reading The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. Im not here to sell you on the book, only to give context on my line of thinking. One of the things he touches on is the idea of presence, that being present and not worrying about the future or past is a very healthy thing to do. He writes about the peaceful frame of mind he calls no-mind, where the brain is so focused on the moment that you have a clear mind without thoughts rattling around up there.
Focus and presence is required for success in competitive games, because the moment your mind wanders from the task at hand someone will score a goal on you, shoot you in the back, or overtake your 1st place position. Competitive games often move at such a fast pace that thinking will be punished and action will be rewarded. When playing a racing game, I dont think about at which second Im going to take a turn; I take that turn in the second that feels right in the moment. Those who play fighting games at a high level probably arent pre-planning what combo they will pull out 30 seconds into a match. They react in the moment according to their opponents actions, and the opponent is trying to do the same.
FIFA 13 matches me up online against players of my skill level, which means I know I have a chance of winning if I focus and play well. But, Ive come to find out that if Im not paying attention when playing defense, good players will score on me immediately. Thus, Ive come to realize that I must put my full focus and attention on to the game for the full 20 to 30 minutes the match lasts if I want to maximize my chances of winning. I enjoy the dynamic gameplay of FIFA, so this is what I do: I put my full mental focus into FIFA whenever I play it.
In turn, FIFA is a game where I can take my mind off things. When I come home from a long days work, I can sit down and play FIFA. When I play, I wont get mad about the day I had or worry about what my future will look like in a month. I cant or else I will likely get scored upon. I devote my full presence to the match, and after Ive played a few I feel better and more relaxed. It clears my mind and eases my head, which is the goal of many practices of meditation. In fact, during my period of unemployment before this internship, FIFA was a nice escape from the mental anxiety I had about my future.
At the same time, however, if I lose too many matches in a row in FIFA or get killed repeatedly while playing a shooter, I get upset and frustrated, which definitely does not lead to a healthy mental state. I think this is because once I start losing, I am no longer playing with presence. I am looking to the future to redeem myself. I worry more about winning the next round instead of actually focusing and playing the game. Thinking about winning while youre playing usually leads to more losing, at least in my experience.
So what can we take away from this? Two things: Competitive games can be stress-relieving and meditative if you approach them correctly. If you leave your ego at the door, stop thinking, and focus purely on each moment of gameplay reflexively, competitive games can calm the mind. Secondly, if you want to enjoy competitive games more, try to bring 100% of your attention to whats going on in the game rather than thinking about winning or losing. Youll probably end up winning more this way anyway.
Editors note: This post was inspired by the videoCan Bullet Hell Games be Meditative?on The PBS Idea Channel on YouTube a channel I highly recommend.

Santa Clara: 'HereAfterHere' a show that examines what lies beyond the great beyond
The end is nigh. Like it or not, that's the cold, hard reality each of us must eventually face. But how prepared are we to deal with what happens--if anything--when we die? That's the question at the heart of Tandy Beal's HereAfterHere: A Self-Guided Tour of Eternity. It's a multi-arts concert where the great unknown is pondered through music, dance, video, theater, even some magic.
On March 28-30, the show comes to the Louis B. Mayer Theatre at Santa Clara University, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara (at the corner of Franklin and Lafayette streets). It will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Beal, a director, choreographer and "dreamer," among other credits, says she and composer Jon Scoville created HereAfterHere in order to open up a community dialogue on this emotional topic. "I think this is on all of our minds, even though we generally can't talk about it because it's taboo. And yet it's in everybody's future," says the artistic director of Tandy Beal & Company. That's especially true for the estimated 77 million baby boomers (also known as the "silver tsunami generation").
Still, Beal presents a largly positive view of what's ultimately in store, with many "moving moments" in the show. "I'm a generally joyful person," she says, one who seeks "to make sure people are uplifted and not frightened. I want them inspired and not depressed."
"We need to live as fully and richly as we can, and taste every moment," she continues. As a performer and choreographer, Beal places special importance on the production's dance sequences, which allow the audience to "contemplate, to reflect on pure physicality." In effect, dancing is a vivid reminder of the grace and tactility of life itself.
Among the other highlights of HereAfterHere, which premiered in 2010, are clips from video interviews of ordinary people giving their take on what occurs when life ceases to be. Beal and company captured the views of more than 500 people of various ages, ethnicities and religions, then whittled the videos to about 20.
Among her favorites is a homeless man who opines, "Each one of us has a star calling out our name all the time, but you usually can't hear it. The moment you hear it, that's the moment you get to die." Another is a child who declares, "When I die, I want to be reading my favorite book."
Beal herself is opaque on what the hereafter is all about. "I don't want to say; I want to keep it open-ended," she declares. However, she's dead sure about one point. "This life is so mysterious to me that I can't not think that whatever happens is equally astonishing."
Tickets are $20-$40, $10 for Santa Clara University students with student ID. Available at scupresents.org.
Three related free public events are scheduled. They are "Present at the Passing," a workshop on end-of-life concerns, 7 p.m. March 26 at the Center for Spiritual Living, 1195 Clark St., San Jose; "Pondering the Imponderables: Metaphors in Science, Art and Religion," a panel discussion including Tandy Beal, 3 p.m. March 29, Louis B. Mayer Theatre, Santa Clara University; and "Lighting the Way: A Conversation about Spiritual Living and Dying," 7-8:30 p.m. April 3, Center for Spiritual Enlightenment, 1146 University Ave., San Jose.

CRUCIBLE: Truth and Khutbah
QUEZON CITY (MindaNews / 26 March) It is another case of dj vu or plain coincidence that as we talked about the subject of bayan (speech) and its grade as shown in the tradition of discourses including khutbah (preaching) last Friday, there was a report from the Arab News two days ago about a survey in several mosques in Saudi Arabia wherein 53% of those who attend do not remember the Friday sermon.
Accordingly, over half of Friday sermon listeners do not remember the subject of the sermon. This is according to the survey conducted by the King Abdulaziz National Dialogue Center (KANDC). Also, two-third of the 865 respondents picked randomly from the Kingdoms 13 regions said that sermons had impacted their lives.
But about 52.4% of respondents wanted sermons to focus on social issues, while more than 74% said they do not seek guidance from prayer leaders, indicating according to the report, a lack of personal communication between preachers and their guidance. Although about 60.4% of participants said they found the sermons appealing, around 31.6% said preachers encourage them to deal with personal and social issues in a positive manner.
According to Ismael Maritheri of the King Abdulaziz University, the significance of Friday sermons in changing society and renewing spiritual energy is undeniably important. But there is a need, he said, to train spiritual leaders to deliver more appealing sermons in order to attract people. He also said there must be an element of information and enlightenment as well as conducive methods for personal, social and family development. Finally, Maritheri said preachers who deliver sermons must be able to inform, motivate and enlighten people to achieve success in this world and in the hereafter.
We are quite sad but a bit elated with the findings of the King Abdulaziz National Dialogue Center. We had felt the same even long time ago the limitation on how discourses or khutubah are being conducted in many countries. What could be the most representative if not the case of supposedly holy sites in Saudi Arabia; yet the statistics seemingly confirmed what we had long felt?
Truth and bayan
Hence, this is not to raise our selves. Like many others, we had been, in our own simple way, trying to raise the bar of informed and enlightened discourses; wed long struggled to fully reflect the wisdom of the tradition of bayan or speech in the Holy Quran.
As we had already provided a simple frame about the relationship between bayan and truth, we just would like to reiterate that bayan, in a sense, could be considered as instrument of truth. According to the Quran, truth is from thy Lord so be not at all in doubt (Al-baqarah: 147).
Bayan then should be anchored on truth and pinpoints truth. There is supposedly no element that should interfere in the process since there is only one truth. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) reminded us: speak the truth even if it is bitter (murran). The notion of murran or bitter is something that is intended to heal the sickness of the heart that is, to refine and purify it.
You know men, unlike animals, operate in a kind of moral pendulum that sways from one point to another. There is much dynamics in the moral make-up of a person. Hence, there are times when one may develop the sickness of the heart. Truth is the way into which the heart is softened and thus be purified so that it regains its original constitution as seat of spiritual essence. What is directed, then, is actually the purification and the removal of blemishes that can incidentally develop in ones being. Hence, truth is the anchor of the whole corpus of tradition as far as discourse like khutbah is concerned.

Lecturer to offer perspective on spiritual healing
Christian Science lecturer Mark Swinney will present "The Healing Effect of Your Prayers" at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 2, at the Darien Library.
The event is sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist.
The lecture is a "how-to," illustrating how the universal laws of God, rightfully understood, bring freedom from pain and suffering.
"I explore what happens when you commune with God in prayer," Swinney said. "There is a potent, healing effect that results when the power of God is allowed to transform your thoughts. Spiritually sensing the presence of God as divine love has the effect of bringing moments of wonderful inspiration and enlightenment -- moments that actually reform and cure."
Swinney's ideas are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible and as discussed in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the textbook of Christian Science.
For more than two decades, he has devoted himself full time to the public practice of healing spiritually. He has traveled much of the world speaking about the healing power of prayer.
A writer, he was managing editor for several Christian Science magazines and editor of the book "Healing Spiritually." A member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, Swinney resides in Sandia Park, N.M.

The world's 10 MOST influential spiritual leaders
Pope Francis was named Person of the Year 2013 by theTime magazine for changing the perception of the Catholic Church in an extraordinary way within just nine months in office.
On the 77-year-old Pope, Time said his focus on compassion, along with a general aura of merriment not always associated with princes of the church, has made him "something of a rock star".
In a lifetime of teaching and leading priests in Latin America, which has the largest share of the world's Catholics, Bergoglio has shown a keen political sensibility as well as the kind of self-effacing humility that fellow cardinals value highly, says his official biographer, Sergio Rubin.

Spiritual Enlightenment – Meditation to Enlightenment
In the most ancient civilisations of the world one finds great truths discovered by sages through meditation. Religions talk freely of what their Prophets discovered but cannot offer anything to anyone. Before proceeding any further, it is important to understand two things: 1) what is meditation? and 2) what is meditation for?
There is a very old statement which says that meditation starts when thought stops and there can be many different forms of meditation. But the subject of meditation I am talking about has nothing to do with any religion, any form of religion or any denomination of religion. Its about expanding a persons awareness, increasing their identity, their sense of self, and ultimately, it is expanded to infinity or Enlightenment, which is what lies behind everything and makes the universe possible. Now, that can sound very big, and to some people out there, it might even sound scary. But the reason a man lives a life of fear and anxiety, in fact, it can be said that a man is frightened to live and scared to die, its because living down here, he is as far away from the Cause of infinite love as he can actually get. So, as we get closer and closer to the source of everything, the energy and bliss and the love we experience gets greater and greater and greater.
For thousands of years mankind has been baffled by the question as to what is the purpose of human life, why am I born? Where have I come from? And where will I go when I die? Such questions remain un-answered, questions such as what does spirituality really involve, and is it possible to answer this for ourselves? The answer is yes. We are neither here by chance nor by accident, but there is a definite purpose to our life on this physical plane.
The very reason for the purpose of this life is to discover for ourselves the inseparability of man from God through the Grace of an Enlightened Teacher.

What Is Spiritual Enlightenment? – wiseGEEK
Spiritual enlightenment is a concept mostly associated with Buddhism and Hinduism. Enlightenment implies complete perfection, which involves qualities such as detachment and awareness. This spiritual belief purports that life is full of suffering produced by desire and other emotions that attach the soul to worldly things; suffering is the inevitable result of attachment to these necessarily transitory things. A soul thus becomes enlightened when it remains in the world yet becomes free of attachment to it. Enlightenment is considered the end of a being's spiritual journey, be it within one life or across many.
In Buddhism, enlightenment is called nirvana. Nirvana is believed to be a state of peace and unity with the cosmos. Different forms of Buddhism teach different techniques for achieving nirvana. Orthodox Buddhists, for example, try to directly follow Buddha's teachings: in particular, the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. Others, such as Zen Buddhists, may use challenging mental exercises, such as koans. Most forms of Buddhism also use regular meditation as a central element of the path to spiritual enlightenment.
Hinduism also uses the concept of nirvana, considering it a representation of freedom from desire and other worldly passions. Spiritual enlightenment is also part of the conclusion to the Hindu cycle of reincarnation. In this belief, souls enter many different bodies through the course of their existence. In each of the lives they lead, they develop spiritually. The ultimate goal of this spiritual development is moksha, a liberation from the system of earthly suffering, which includes the idea of spiritual enlightenment.
Enlightenment is generally considered a mystical concept. That is, it contains the promise of a spiritual clarity lying beyond description by words and attainment by action. For example, one cannot become enlightened by reading, even if one can recite the words of every sage. Enlightenment is a potentially universal experience, but each being comes to it through a unique path. Teachers may provide assistance and provocation along the way, but they cannot impose enlightenment on their pupils; one becomes enlightened alone.
The concept of spiritual enlightenment in Buddhism and Hinduism is related to but distinct from ideas such as salvation and transcendence associated with Christianity. Whereas most versions of Christianity emphasize love of Jesus Christ as a prerequisite to spiritual completeness, enlightenment usually implies liberation from teachers and doctrineone famous Zen koan suggests: "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!" Enlightenment also does not involve the existence of a heaven distinct from earth. It places more emphasis on a transformation of the soul's relationship to the world of objects. The enlightened being continues a corporeal existence after having gained awareness of the illusory nature of reality. There is no separate space to which one ascends.

Elect strong and stable govt: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
JEHANABAD: Spiritual guru and founder of the Art of Living(AOL) Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Wednesday said corruption has assumed alarming proportions in the country during the past five years eating into the vitals of the body politic. More than 30 scams have taken place during the said period.
An astronomical 1.4 trillion dollars of black money stashed in the European banks is, in fact, a sad reflection on the deep-rooted corruption embedded in our political system, he said adding in a lighter vein, "Our Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) is fair-complexioned in our land but how come she becomes black after reaching the foreign shores?"
Addressing a 10,000 strong congregation at the historic Gandhi Maidan here, Sri Sri exhorted the voters to ensure hundred percent participation in the electoral process. Asserting that coalition (khichdi) governments are detrimental to the health of the nation, the spritual leader said past experience of coalition governments in India has not been pleasant. He said the national economy is on the brink of a precipice. The industrial production in the country has nosedived to minus 2.5 % and any further spell of coalition government at the Centre is likely to sound the death knell for the national economy. Advocating for a decisive mandate this time, he called upon the people to elect a strong and stable government.
Replying to a question, the spritual guru said, "I cannot say who to vote for. Being a spritual leader, I cannot campaign for or against any particular political party in the elections. I can only make a fervent appeal to elect candidates with clean, spotless image to help overcome the hydra-headed monster of corruption."
Describing Magadh as a land of enlightenment, the spritual leader said the hoary past of Magadh always beckons me to my ashram at Bodh Gaya. He informed that AoL plans to set up a training centre for priests at the Bodh Gaya ashram and a few skill development centres for youths in Aurangabad and Jehanabad. Referring to his emotional attachment with Bihar, he said, "40 % of the employees working at our headquarters ashram in Bangalore hail from Bihar. We have also provided for reservation of 20 seats each for students of Magadh and Mithila regions for admission to management courses at our university in Odisha," he added.

Ramtha Students Hit the Spiritual and Financial Jackpot
YELM,Wash., March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A remarkable run of Washington's Lottery winners, all from the Yelm area, have cashed winning tickets in the past two months that total more than $250,000.The lottery champions gave credit to the teachings at Ramtha's School of Enlightenment because their winning numbers came to them after careful study and applying the school's disciplines.
The winners include:
Ingrid Plattmann: $230,000 on Jan. 11, 2014 Antonia Wood: $10,000 on Jan. 6, 2014 Hanami Hattori: $2,860 on Jan. 20, 2014 Ione Gleeson: $3,347 on Feb. 18, 2014 Anne Mickatavage: $5,070 on Jan. 20, 2014
Ingrid Plattmann made history in January when she won $230,000 playing the Washington Lotto game "Hit 5." "My favorite discipline is C&E," she said. C&E is a breath technique used to shift one's state of mind and create a new reality. She also used the Golden Egg, a process where Ramtha guides students into their visions of wealth. "I got amazing results in my personal learning about what my focus can do," stated Plattmann. "I used various disciplines and continued to conquer my limited thoughts."
While envisioning her success, Plattmann explained her experience. "In purchasing lottery tickets I looked at what amounts of money I could relate to and use. One day I saw the 'Hit 5' which starts at $100,000, and in that moment made it acceptable, then let it go. Ramtha taught us to create: dream the dream, become the dream, and let it go. It will unfold when we least expect it. And that's what happened with me."
Antonia Wood made a focus card and deliberately chose the winning numbers after viewing them while practicing RSE techniques, including the Neighborhood Walk, a discipline to improve awareness and general health. "I trusted that my numbers would come up someday," said Wood. "I realized I really needed to do some extensive repair work on my home, so I decided to get serious about manifesting the funds. I focused with acceptance and a clear intent to win NOW. Within days the numbers had made it all the way," she said. "I am grateful to Ramtha and JZ for their loving patience in helping us to realize that a focused mind can achieve wonders," said Wood.Most students won by predicting the numbers in the "Match 4" game.
The stories from all the winners, along with official photos from the Washington Lottery, can be found at: http://www.rse-newsletter.com/category/lotto-winners/. The Ramtha School of Enlightenment teaches students to capitalize on their natural mental abilities. According to Ramtha's disciplines, we have direct control over how our lives play out. These five students attribute their winnings entirely to the techniques they mastered at RSE. The frequency of these lottery winnings demonstrates these occurrences may have more do to with skill than luck.
About Ramtha's School of EnlightenmentRamtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE) was established in 1988 by Ramtha the Enlightened One as an academy of the mind that offers retreats and workshops to participants from all over the world and from all walks of life. Using ancient wisdom and the latest discoveries in neuroscience and quantum physics, RSE teaches students how to access the extraordinary abilities of the brain to "Become a Remarkable Life." Ramtha's teachings are not a religion. They offer a unique perspective from which to view the mystery of life.
