(LINK) African Buddhists come together in Kenya with female Japanese master Shinso Ito, head of the Shinnyo En Order
More than 300 religious and spiritual leaders from around the world, Kenyan musicians, dancers, and tribal elders gather for Africa's first Buddhist "Fire and Water" ritual to nurture spiritual awakening.
(4AngelTherapy) Virtue, guitarist for Obsidian (with Mark Watson and Tatiana),and friend Angela Hartfield go on a mermaid adventure to the Obsidian song "Find That Place."

Bhumi-devi Doreen Virtue (angeltherapy.com)
If dogs are man's best friend, dolphins are women's. And it's okay. According to geneticists and other scientists examining fossilized structures, dogs and dolphinsevolved one to the other. They are both mammals breathing atmospheric air rather than strictly depending on air filtered from water through gills.
AQUATIC APE theorists are onto something! And everything Virtue is saying is strangely echoed in something the Buddha's chief male disciple Maha Moggallana, "foremost in psychic powers," said about mermaids in the middle of the ocean, according to Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation of the Middle Length Discourses (MN 50.25):
Last night Dr. Virtue dazzled millions by talking about the reality of mermaids on Coast to Coast. They really used to exist on Earth, the surface of which was made to cover 70% of this planet. The water was brought here. And our bodies are 70% water. Because mer-persons (mer meaning mar, maritime, marine, "ocean"), once as common as dolphins, were killed off, they came to exist only as earthbound-devas, subtle energy light beings, water-delighting fairies. Seamen have been spotting them for millenia.
The archetype is powerful in our collective consciousness. We all recognize them. Many of us are drawn to them. And Dr. Virtue makes it possible with the help of modern technology and a variety of unifin/monofin models.
From Coast to Coast
Spiritual psychologist Doreen Virtue was on Coast to Coast discussing her study of mermaids and mer-people, as well as dolphins and their possible connection to Atlantis and the star Sirius. The Dogon people of Africa knew this, having been told by visitors from the Dog Star (Sirius, Canis Majoris).
Based on her research of both ancient texts and artifacts, as well as past life regressions she herself has conducted, Dr. Virtue concludes that mer-people absolutely existed and were separate from manatees, dolphins, and bipedal humans. "These were real beings who used the gills that humans are always born with but that cover over as the embryo grows, and were able to consume the oxygen that was in the water," she said. More
DOLPHINS are as intelligent (or more so according to her and the HHGTTG) as humans. Civilians recently blocked a military-industrial complex (MIC) plan to sonically blast the waters in front of a nuclear plant in California, which would have harmed countless water mammals and possibly led to the kind of seismic activity it purported to be studying.
ANGELS(devas, messengers, divas, lit. "shining ones") have something to tell us. Eat organic produce. "The reason is the angels are trying to get us off the toxic GMOs," she reveals, "so these guardians are trying to keep us safe, keep us healthy, and not be victims of the depopulation scheme."
REFLECTIONS ON TURNING 30 - I grew up on the lyrics, "Live fast, die young" and the idea "Never trust anyone over 30." I was an "adult" at 15 -- when I became active, as free as Cartman on Maury Povich to do what I want, and I thought I knew it all (or all I was ever going to need to know).
Childhood in the United States now extends until at least 26, when insurance companies force us off our parents' plan. And school takes so long, racking up lifelong debt. There I was 27 and finished in one sense but going nowhere fast in another. Maybe I should have compared myself to Jenny McCarthy rather than the ever rotating crop of girls on the beach.
Meditation had gone well, while most everyone much older was still struggling. I finished college, but the possibility of grad school loomed. It is an option if I am willing to re-interpret "debt" to mean "investment."
Comparing to every batch of un-aging bathers
What was I to do? I burned a bridge. I pulled out all the stops. I hit the Improbability Drive button and landed somewhere nice, still standing, perfectly safe in my attainment. The Heart Sutra says the Perfection of Wisdom "is the great spell (mantra), the spell of great knowledge, the utmost spell, the unequalled spell, allayer of all suffering, in truth -- for what could go wrong?" It's true. What could go wrong?
Morning came. My 30th birthday. I took the day off. Midweek. I eat right, having taken all the hidden sugar and stimulants out. Evening came. And in the cave of the mind/heart everything was still all right. But outside, "I disconnect." How Scandinavian of me. Communication:
For those who have seen the goal and applied themselves,
For those diligent and mindful rooted in virtue,
For those led by worthy guides...
I owe my life to the Dharma, the Buddha, and the Noble Sangha. And others say I look as beautiful as I ever did. The whole board is moving. I had imagined that everyone would stay young and I alone would walk the Trail of Tears under a ravaging sun. But we were all marching. The board along with the other pieces I was comparing myself to were moving. All of us were moving to dissolution, hurtling towards destruction, the impermanence inherent in all things.
Am I over the hill yet?
We were all marching. Sakka, the Deva King, was throwing another party. The Immaterial Sphere was quiet. And ghosts among us were going hungry. I could see them if I wanted.
I'll get 364 more sunrises to wake up three-decades-old on the planet, having died young and left a pretty corpse as useless as a log the last time I was here.
I have my baby. I have this diamond. I have my perfect hubby. I have these business cards. And from here to the End, I'll always have the Dharma. Maybe 30 is pretty good with 69 more years to go if Bhumi (Gaia) is kept healthy enough to have an operating ecosystem. Now there are no more excuses. I'm all grown up, codependent no more. I'll be a "Hunter."
"Hunter" Bjork If travel is searching And home what's been found I'm not stopping
I'm going hunting, I'm the hunter I'll bring back the goods But i don't know when
I thought I could organize freedom How Scandinavian of me You sussed it out, didn't you?
You could smell it So you left me on my own To complete the mission Now, I'm leaving it all behind...
