What most of us must be involved in--whether we teach or write, make films, write films, direct films, play music, act, whatever we do--has to not only make people feel good and inspired and at one with other people around them, but also has to educate a new generation to do this very modest thing: change the world.

When you deeply love someone from that space that is beyond attachment to certain projections or desires, when you love someone just deeply, totally, completely, without any games that the mind or emotions play, then that love remains eternal in the heavens forever, and that is what pulls you back to remembering that love.

Munindra Misra (Chants of Hindu Gods and Godesses in English Rhyme)
The Divine has created this moment in time. It is a very powerful moment, where there is only one way and that way is that you completely let go. Completely let go of what is known, what is safe, and move into the space of beauty.
Tony Samara
As you embrace Consciousness, you embrace Perfection.

Money from taxpayers in Wichita and Denver and Phoenix gets routed through the Pentagon and CIA and then ends up here, or in Baghdad or Dubai, or Doha or Kabul or Beirut, in the hands of contractors, subcontractors, their local business partners, local sheikhs, local Mukhabarat officers, local oil smugglers, local drug dealers—money that funds construction and real estate speculation in a few choice luxury districts, buildings that go up thanks to the sweat of imported Filipino and Bangladeshi workers

In Korea I’d been so afraid that Sami would lose her dad. She did, but she didn’t get a flag. He went to Doha, then to Baghdad, then to Kabul, then to someplace else, and then to a different someplace else, on and on. He’d come home, leave again, come home, leave again, until one day he came home a different person altogether. Sami lost Angel, lost her family, and then she lost herself.
Tucker Elliot (The Day Before 9/11)
Remember meditation is an active, deep remembrance, and that is discernment. Wherever you go, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, remember to utilize discernment so that you can hear and sense and feel the vibration of love rather than the vibration of illusion.

I remembered Sant Kabir's famous doha that my mother often quoted: Jako rakhe Saiyan, maar sakey na koy Baal na banko kar sakey, jo jag bairi hoy He whom God protects, no one can kill. Even if the whole world turns into his enemy, not even a hair of his can they harm.
Rakesh Maria (Let Me Say it Now)
Where ego comes in, loving kindness departs. So wherever there is ego, there is very little space for true bliss and true happiness because true bliss and true happiness isn't exclusive to the attachments the ego enjoys playing with, but rather a free state of mind that is part of loving kindness and its activities inside and outside of oneself.
Tony Samara
Intensely devotional poetry was written by poets, some of whom were born Muslim but worshipped Hindu deities. One of the best known among them was Sayyad Ibrahim, popularly referred to as Raskhan, whose dohas and bhajans dedicated to the deity Krishna were widely recited in the sixteenth century and are still remembered by devotees of Krishna and others.
Romila Thapar (On Nationalism)
The effect of the doha is to create a mental paradox, a state of confusion where logic is defeated, and we must enter through another way of knowing. This is the gate to the mysterious home of the dakini through language. The dakini also holds a staff in the crook of her left arm. This symbolic staff is called the khatvanga. Its essential meaning is that of “hidden consort” or “inner consort.” It represents the dakini’s inner masculine, and at the top of the staff is a vajra symbolizing the phallus. The staff is an interesting metaphor because it can be a tent pole, a protective spear, or a walking staff. With it, she has the power to stand alone; she has internalized the masculine.

El país más rico del mundo no es el más feliz - Univision Dinero La historia de Qatar Gracias a su gas y su petróleo, Qatar se ha convertido en el país más rico del mundo, pero esa riqueza quizá no haya alcanzado para alegrar a loa cataríes. “Nos hemos vuelto urbanos. Nuestra vida social y económica ha cambiado, las familias se han separado y la cultura del consumo ha ganado terreno”, dice Kaltham Al Ghanim, profesor de sociología de la Universidad de Qatar. La web BBC Mundo afirma que la que fuera una nación extremadamente pobre hace un siglo, Qatar se ha vuelto el país más rico del mundo, con un ingreso per cápita de nada menos 100,000 dólares. Doha, la capital de Qatar, es un sitio en construcción. El país dispone de 200,000 millones de dólares para gastar en estadios e infraestructura de cara al Mundial de Fútbol de 2022. Lo que fuera una costa totalmente plana, hoy en día se encuentra en plena obra o a mitad del proceso de demolición. Según los medios locales, el 40 por ciento de los matrimonios llegan al divorcio. Más de dos terceras partes de la población –niños y adultos—son obesas. Educación y medicina gratuitas, trabajo garantizado, subvenciones para la compra de viviendas, ninguna cuota por el agua o la electricidad son algunas de las ventajas de los cataríes, aunque, resalta el medio, la abundancia les trajo problemas.

Unlike during the previous Gaza operation in 2012, the Iron Dome supply did not run out. After Operation Pillar of Defense I had instructed the army to accelerate production of Iron Dome projectiles and batteries. We accomplished this with our own funds and with generous American financial support. I now asked the Obama administration for an additional $225 million package to continue the production line after Protective Edge. He agreed, and with the help of Tony Blinken, the deputy national security advisor who later became Biden’s secretary of state, the funding provision sailed through both houses of Congress. I deeply appreciated this support and said so publicly. I was therefore very disappointed when the administration held back on the IDF’s request for additional Hellfire rockets for our attack helicopters. Without offensive weapons we could not bring the Gaza operation to a quick and decisive end. Furthermore, as the air war lingered, the administration issued increasingly critical statements against Israel, calling some of our actions “appalling”2 and thereby opening the moral floodgates against us. Hamas took note. As long as it believed that we couldn’t deliver more aggressive punches, and that international support was waning, it would continue to rocket our cities. Unfortunately, it was aided in this belief by an international tug-of-war. On one side: Israel and Egypt. On the other: Turkey and Qatar, which fully supported Hamas. I worked in close collaboration with Egypt’s new leader, el-Sisi, who had deposed the Islamist Morsi a few months earlier. Our common goal was to achieve an unconditional cease-fire. The last thing el-Sisi wanted was a Hamas success in Gaza that would embolden their Islamist allies in the Sinai and beyond. Hamas’s exiled leader, Khaled Mashal, who escaped the Mossad action in Jordan, was now in Qatar. Supported by his Qatari hosts and Erdogan and ensconced in his lavish villa in Doha, Mashal egged Hamas to keep on fighting. To my astonishment, Kerry urged me to accept Qatar and Turkey as mediators instead of the Egyptians, who were negotiating with Hamas representatives in Cairo for a possible cease-fire. Hamas drew much encouragement from this American position. El-Sisi and I agreed to keep the Americans out of the negotiating loop. In the meantime the IDF would have to further degrade Hamas’s fighting and crush their expectations of achieving anything in the cease-fire negotiations.

April 2016, oil ministers representing about half of world production were converging on the Sheraton Hotel in Doha, the capital of Qatar. They had pretty much concluded a plan to freeze production—to hold output steady in order to stem the rising tide of inventories and buy some time to catch up. But one country was notably absent—Iran. Determined to ramp up its output, it would never agree to be part of a freeze. Still, Naimi had achieved the goal he had insisted on since 2014—Russian acquiescence to some kind of output restriction. But in the night, a call came in from Saudi Arabia. The message to Naimi was clear—no agreement without Iran. And Iran clearly would not participate. The deal was off. In Doha, the others were astonished by this overnight reversal, after all the effort. But facts were facts.

LET’S ALL GET FAT AND JUMP OFF BRIDGES How many times have you heard how few people exercise and eat enough fruits and vegetables, choosing to binge on TV and sugar- and fat-laden foods instead? These types of statistics are supposed to “scare us straight,” but to those addicted to reruns and junk food, the data is music to their ears. It reminds them of the comforting reality that they’re not alone—that everyone else is just like them. And if everyone is doing it, how wrong can it really be? You may not be one of those people, but don’t think you’re immune to the underlying psychological mechanisms. It’s comforting to think that we singularly chart our own course in our lives, uninfluenced by how other people think and act, but it’s simply not true. Extensive psychological and marketing research has shown that what others do—and even what we think they do—has a marked effect on our choices and behaviors, especially when the people we’re observing are close to us.29 In the world of marketing, this effect is known as “social proof,” and it’s a well-established principle used in myriad ways to influence us to buy. When we’re not sure how to think or act, we tend to look at how other people think and act and follow along, even if subconsciously. Whenever we justify behaviors as acceptable because of all the other people doing it too or because of how “normal” it is, we’re appealing to social proof. We can pick up anything from temporary solutions to long-term habits this way, and both people we know and even people we see in movies can influence us.30 For example, having obese friends and family members dramatically increases your risk of becoming obese as well.31 The

areas that were once the preserve of national sovereignty are now ring-fenced by international law and global regulation. The instinct in Davos is to push even more policy-making out of the range of nation states. The answer to Europe’s problems is always more Europe. The answer to the global trade backlash is always to sell trade deals more effectively. It should come as no surprise that democracies are now loath to ratify such agreements. The last time any serious world trade talks were held in a Western city was in Seattle in 1999. It was shut down by protesters. The next time global leaders made the attempt was in 2002, from the safe space of the Arabian Gulf where no dissenters could be heard. The Doha Round died a few years later. Now Donald Trump has killed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the deal that was launched by George W. Bush and completed by Barack Obama. Trump is also picking apart the Clinton-era North American Free Trade Agreement and has buried hopes of a transatlantic agreement. Britain, meanwhile, is abandoning the European single market. The
Edward Luce (The Retreat of Western Liberalism)
Bij een reis naar een erg warm land had hij geen behoefte aan luchtig en dun ondergoed, integendeel, juist in hete landen moest hij warme kleding bij zich hebben, weliswaar lichte maar evengoed warme kleding, fijne kasjmier vesten bijvoorbeeld, en in elk geval onderhemden. Je zit immers bij onderhandelingen en meetings en bij de maaltijden voortdurend in door airconditioning flink afgekoelde vertrekken, nergens heb je het kouder dan bij die woestijnsjeiks waar kou als luxe wordt gezien en luxe als levensdoel. Als je in Doha niet toevallig op straat rondloopt - maar wie doet dat daar? en waarom zou je het doen? - is het daar kouder dan op een parkbank in Noord-Finland.
