What impresses us the most about this quick look at Facebook is that the writer, a resident of Stockholm, is just as concerned about the CIA as we, even though he's well outside the "official" grasp of the U.S. government. Perhaps we're not so paranoid after all.

Facing Facebook: Idealistic Social Project or American Company?

by Swami Dhyan Giten

What is Facebook? Is Facebook an idealistic social project allowing people to become friends worldwide or an American company making money?

Here in the West, we take our freedom to openly practice meditation for granted. However, on some parts of our planet, people are forced to meditate in secrecy.

The Relationship between Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Hypnosis

by Paul Jerard

Each one of these healing methods is thousands of years old. The exact origins of meditation and self-hypnosis are not known. We do know that Yoga existed over 5,000 years ago in the Indus Valley. Despite the evidence that each of these methods creates peace of mind, within the practitioner, they have only recently gained worldwide attention for their results.

It's often been noted that sometimes we miss out on the incredible beauty of the journey by focusing on reaching our destination. Kaya McLaren illustrates this point beautifully.

Loving the Journey

by Kaya McLaren
author of Church of the Dog

I love to paint, to feel the creamy goo under my brush. I spread it out like butter across canvas. I turn the music up loud and almost dance with my brush. I paint about simple things that make me happy, or simple things I find beautiful. Georgia O’Keefe is my hero for that reason - for taking the simple beauty of a flower and using paint to make it obvious to even the busiest and most distracted person, for using paint to help everyone see the beautiful colors of dirt. I love how paint allows the painter to editorialize her perception.

No longer is the problem just that we need to slow down. Now we need to quit trying to do twenty things at once and learn to focus on the task at hand.

Multitasking Virus in Our Classrooms

by Josh Waitzkin
Author of The Art of Learning

A few weeks ago, I returned to the classroom of Dennis Dalton, the most important college professor of my life. From the back of an amphitheater seating several hundred students, I realized how much things had evolved at Columbia and Barnard. The lecture hall was now equipped with a wireless sound system, webcams, video projectors, wireless internet. Students were using computers to record the lecture and to take notes. Heads were buried in screens, the tap tap of hundreds of keyboards like rain on the roof.

Frank C. Bucaro, business ethics expert, explains why unethical behavior in corporate America has reached pre-Enron levels. In reaction to a study just released by The Ethics Resource Center, Frank explores mistrust in leadership, the real truth about ethics training programs and the difference between what is legal and ethical.

Why has Corporate America Returned to Pre Enron Levels of Unethical Behavior?

If we are to glean anything from new studies and findings on business ethics, it is that we should strive to figure out the reasons why trends are happening and adjust our practices accordingly. If we do not learn from studies like The Ethics Resource Center's recently released '2007 National Business Ethics Survey', certainly we will witness more and more American companies fall to unethical practices. Let's take a look at why it appears that nothing has changed since Enron's fall from grace.

As our world slips deeper and deeper into decadence, it becomes essential that we renew life with a newfound sense of spirit.

The Importance of Spirituality

by Dr. Jeffry R. Palmer Ph.D.
Author of Judo for the Soul - The Art of Psychic Self Defense

We live in a world which can best be described as a dystopia. The nation states of the world have devolved to an extent that social mobility in many regions of the planet is non-existent. The disparity between the “haves” and “have nots” grows globally at a steady and insidious pace.

Wickedpedia?

or Why Burn Books When You Can Hit "Delete"?

by Christine Hall

Evidently the Internet isn't as safe for anarchy as we thought. It's certainly not a safe haven for those who work and slave in the webcomics industry.

Actually, we couldn't care less about Paris Hilton. In fact, we're a little amused by the fact that in this age of the Patriot Act, global warming and war, there are people who think that keeping a spoiled little rich girl out of jail is a pressing issue. We're also amused that these same folks characterize this heiress to the Hilton fortune is a “self made” anything. Anyway, we offer this petition partly in jest, but if you wish to send it on to the good governor, just click on the envelope icon at the end of the text and enter the address governor@governor.ca.gov into the email form.

Governor Schwarzenegger - Please Double Paris Hilton's Sentence

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:

Poor little Paris Hilton. After getting stopped numerous times for driving on a suspended driver's license, a judge has sentenced her to spend 45 days in jail. After spending a lifetime never having to take responsibility for her actions, she is finally being made to do so.

Bob Dylan Turns 60

by Christine Hall

Originally published on AlternativeApproaches.com in 2001

Most of us baby boomers were caught off guard when it was announced several weeks back that Bob Dylan was celebrating his sixtieth birthday. It didn’t surprise us, mind you, since all of us from that generation have gotten used to graying or thinning hair, wrinkles and sags, a gradual decline in energy, and all of the rest that accompanies getting older. But the thought of Dylan getting ready to collect his social security... Well, it doesn’t make sense somehow.
