It is my humble opinion that everyone in the world should at all times have answers to the following questions:
What are you reading?
Peace Is the Way: Bringing War and Violence to an End by Deepal Chopra.
the title comes from Gandhi's saying "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." I'm 50 pages in and this book literally has the power to change your life (if you're ready). This book is not about ending war... but ending the very idea of war.
"The ego itself has to be disarmed to live the way of peace. For me as an individual to be free, I have to confront myself with questions about who I really am, and this is done in large part by examining the layers of false identity that I mistakenly call me."
Fabulous read... a full report will follow once i'm done
What are you listening to?
ULTRA CHILL 01 is an astounding mix of some of my favorite trip hop artists... like Royksopp, Zero 7, and more... i love love love the calm effect this music has on me. I listened to Royksopp while trop'n around Europe. Very Centering.
Also Sparta. This has a punk feel with the emo-ness of At the Drive In with some political motives like Rage Against the Machine.
