I am stopping by to say "hi" and to remind you that in addition to MySpace, you can visit with me on Twitter and Facebook. I also have a personal blog on StockValues.
I write mostly about farming/gardening and stock/bond investing, but also anything else that rattles my cage. Please stop by when you get a chance.

Hello
For those interested in animal rights/welfare fiction, please have a look to my novel “The Demon’s Trial”. The process of writing it is what made me a vegan, by the way.
Here is the link to the publisher:
The Demon's Trial
You can of course find it in any bookshop, including Amazon.com, where you can see some reviews:
The Demon's Trial
http://www.amazon.com/Demons-Trial-J-C-Costa/dp/1412086361/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254923915&sr=1-1
If you ever read it, I would be very interested in having your thoughts about it.
Thank you

The Soul is eternal.
Men are disturbed not by the things which happen, but by the opinions about the things
Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.
By Epictetus
This soul cannot be severed or harmed by weapons, burnt by fire, wetted with water, nor dried by the wind.
It is unbreakable, unburnable. It cannot be wetted nor dried. It is eternal, permanent, all-pervading and insoluble.
How can that person who knows the soul to be indestructible, eternal, unborn and immutable, cause death to anyone, kill anyone or cause another to kill?
Therefore, knowing the soul to be thus, you should not lament. For the sake of the inevitable you ought not lament. All beings are unmanifest before birth and after death. They are manifest between the birth and the death only. What is there to grieve about?
THE BHAGAVAD-GITA
Thus it can be seen that ignorance of the eternal nature of the soul is the cause of all grief by not understanding that the soul is immortal and thinking that the eternal soul perishes when the physical body perishes.
~ Ramanuja
Who have conquered the tenacious vice of attachment. Who have overcome feelings of passion and repugnance. Who are free from false ego imagining they are the physical body. Whose mundane cravings and worldly desires have altogether ceased to exist and surpassed pleasure and pain, happiness and unhappiness, cold and hot, attraction and repulsion. Who are situated in the soul and are in perpetual communion with God, they receive unveiled knowledge directly from within.
~ Kesava Kasmiri

Let me be frank with you, because you are the indweller of my heart, the witness of my mind, and the Lord of my life. I cannot hide anything from you, because you directly witness all the thoughts that emanate from my mind. I have no fear of you. You are my friend now. Treat me as.
Let us eat butter and sugar-candy together. Let us sing. Teach me. Let me hear it directly from your lips once more.
O You the invisible One! O adorable and supreme One!
You are the apple of my eye, and the divine love of my heart, the very life of my life, the very soul of my soul, the illuminator of my intellect and senses, the very sweet mystic music of my heart, and the substance of my physical, mental and causal frames.
You are my sole refuge. I trust you alone, O ocean of mercy and love! Elevate! Enlighten! Guide! Protect! Remove the obstacles from my spiritual path. Meet me quickly. I am pining, I am melting. Listen, listen, listen to my fervent innermost prayer. Do not be cruel, my Lord. You are friend of the afflicted. You are one who raises the down-trodden. You are the purifier of the fallen.
O Magnificent Lord of love and compassion! O Fountainhead of bliss and knowledge! Pray, deliver us from all temptations. Give us light, purity and knowledge.
Accept our prayer. Guide us. Lift us. Enlighten us. Protect us. You are alone we adore, You alone we worship, on You alone we meditate, in You alone we have take refuge.

He spends every day alike in humble endeavor to do the Master's will regardless of outward applause. At present we are laboring to form the Christ Consciousness within, but when the inner Christ has grown to full stature, He will shine as the LIGHT.
It is a wonderful power which is centered in the Mystic at the time of his Baptism by the descent and concentration within him of the Universal Spirit; and when he has refused during the period of temptation to desecrate it for personal profit or power, he must of necessity give it vent in another direction, for he is impelled by an irresistible inner urge which will not allow him to settle down to an inert, inactive life of prayer and meditation.
The power of God is upon him to preach and glad tidings to humanity, to help and heal. We know that a stove which is filled with burning fuel cannot help heating the surrounding atmosphere; neither can the Mystic help radiating the divine compassion which fills his heart to overflowing, nor is he is doubt whom to love or whom to serve or where to find his opportunity. As the stove filled with burning fuel radiates heat to all who are within its sphere of radiation, so the Mystic feels the love of God burning within his heart and is continually radiating it to all with whom he comes in contact. As the heated stove draws to itself by its genial warmth those who are suffering with physical cold, so the warm love rays of the Mystic are as a magnet to all those whose hearts are chilled by the cruelty of the world, by man's inhumanity to man.
The true Mystic need not preach. His every act, even his silent presence, is more powerful that all the most deeply thought-out discourses of learned doctors of philosophy.

~ Thomas à Kempis
Try to live happily in any place, under any condition. You will become a strong and dynamic personality.
Never complain against bad environments. Create your own mental world wherever you remain and wherever you go. There are some difficulties and disadvantages wherever you go. If the mind deludes you, at every moment and at every step, try to overcome the obstacles and difficulties by suitable means. Do not try to run away from bad, unfavourable environments. God has placed you there to make you grow quickly.
If you get all sorts of comforts in a place, you will not grow strong. Your mind will be puzzled in a new place when you cannot get these comforts. Therefore, make the best use of all places.
~ Swami Sivananda
No matter where you may go, you cannot escape the cross, for wherever you go you take yourself with you and shall always find yourself. Turn where you will -- above, below, without, or within -- you will find a cross in everything, and everywhere you must have patience if you would have peace within and merit an eternal crown.
If you carry the cross willingly, it will carry and lead you to the desired goal where indeed there shall be no more suffering, but here there shall be. If you carry it unwillingly, you create a burden for yourself and increase the load, though still you have to bear it. If you cast away one cross, you will find another and perhaps a heavier one.
~ Thomas à Kempis

They who seek the throne of grace
Find that throne in every place:
If we lead a life of prayer
God is present everywhere.

I heard a soft voice behind me, saying: "Return!" I lifted my head and looked around to see who was calling me and where he commanded me to return; but I saw no one.
Then the voice sounded again: "Return!" Not knowing where to return or how to get out of the darkness, I felt dismayed, but the voice called a third time: "Return to the place whence you came, to the home of your heart and shut the door behind you!"
A bright light burst upon me from above. I looked up, a dazzlingly light, such loveliness radiated from it as I had never experienced anywhere in the world. He then, all kindly, addressed me in these most gracious words.
"Welcome, welcome, my dear son and brother!" Saying that, he filled the air with such an exquisite fragrance that I was overcome with ineffable joy and tears flowed from my eyes; nor did I know what to reply to such an unexpected welcome, so I sighed deeply and gazed humbly at him. Seeing me so terrified with joy, he went on speaking: “Where have you been, my son? Where did you tarry so long? Where have you travelled? What have you been seeking in the world? Happiness? Where should you have sought God but in His temple? and where is the temple of the living God but the living temple which He has prepared for Himself, your own heart? I have watched you, my son, while you wandered, but I did not want to see you stray any longer, and I have brought you to me by leading you into yourself. For here have I chosen a palace for my dwelling; and if you dwell with me, you will find here all that you sought in vain in the world--peace, happiness, glory, and an abundance of everything. I promise you, my son, that here you will not be disappointed as you were in the world.”
