What's the most beautiful thing created by a human being?

Posted on Sep 4th, 2007 by Steve : Evolutionary Entrepreneur Steve
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 04, 2007:

Johann Sebastian Bach, Partita number 2 in d-minor, Chaconne.

No one says it better than Johannes Brahms in his letter to Clara Schumann:

“ On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind. ”

If you've never heard it before... get ready.

The Joy of Celibacy

Posted on Sep 29th, 2007 by Steve : Evolutionary Entrepreneur Steve
Hello,
I'm loving the practice of celibacy and am aware that there are very few resources on the internet about it--and even fewer that make much sense for our lives today. So I'm trying to find some to share with you. This first article comes from Alice Christensen, a yogini and author. It is primarily about seeing through the mind, which is the aspect of celibacy that I enjoy the most.

Other interesting teachings in the article include a conversation with a yogi speaking about cultivating, through celibacy, a sexual feeling towards life that is constant and a million times stronger than the ecstasy of a sexual orgasm. Whoah. I'm not there yet, nor do I think that's the purpose of the practice, but this article is definitely worth a read.
