		<description>When you speak for Allah as the Supreme Leader does, you can count 40 million votes in 2 hours.  You have Divine Powers. You command time and space. You can bend forks with your mind power too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah. That&#039;s the ticket.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Same when you are factually infallible on everything too. You don&#039;t have to research anything or learn how to communicate with people or prudence or any skill at all in implementing your ideas and decisions. You are factually infallible.  All you need is an infallibility  certificate in writing somewhere and a Magic Eight Ball and you are good to go. No fuss and no muss. Just use the Magic Eight Ball and break for lunch. It&#039;s as simple as that. Nice and tidy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_8-Ball&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_8-Ball&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But mine is telling me that Iran is in deep deep recently created biological matter and other organizations too. That is what my Magic Eight Ball is saying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And mine can count votes too and declare the winners of elections centuries in advance.</description>

		<description>&quot;perhaps the dominant faction of mullas saw that they would &quot;only&quot; win by 51%, and stupidly decided to skew the electoral results more strongly in their favor in hopes of putting the ordeal behind them?&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I suspect this was it. The clue for me was in Khamenei&#039;s sermon last Friday where he said that there may have been some irregularities but a majority of such magnitude by its very size proves that it could not have been manufactured. If you&#039;re going to lie, the one rule is to make it BIG. We will most probably never prove that the election was rigged but there is enough evidence to give a rational person reasonable doubt.</description>

		<description>Fubar,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the above excellent links! I will look into getting both books. I tell you the combination of these two below books on many very interesting levels is going to be the next big meme dynamic across many populations and strata of society in the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cosmosandpsyche.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.cosmosandpsyche.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lifeincorporated.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://lifeincorporated.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The people that understand how the analysis in these two books work together are already living in the future. Combine these insights with Weber&#039;s meme dynamics and thinkers will now be right up there with the high octane Iranian women who are now cutting edge in what is going to happen next in the world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As I said, as far as Divine Geometry goes, this is where it is all going to go now to people of Cosmic insight.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xMDIcsUMmA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xMDIcsUMmA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get ready. It is all going to be a very interesting. And, of course, all in Internet time.</description>

		<description>well, if the iranian mullas think that capitalism is &quot;godless&quot;, then one part of the solution would be to have &quot;spiritual capitalism&quot;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Some hints that the idea of &quot;spiritual capitalism&quot; may be something fairly simpatico to some religious minorities in the USA, and that the ameican religious mainstream is capable of absorbing &quot;occult&quot; elements:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Republic of Mind and Spirit:&lt;br&gt;A Cultural History of American Metaphysical Religion&lt;br&gt;by Catherine L. Albanese&lt;br&gt;Yale University Press, 640 pages&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;If one is looking for a fascinating tour of the many sideshows of the carnival that is religion in America, Catherine L. Albanese is the guide you want. She is head of religious studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has a big new book from Yale University Press, A Republic of Mind and Spirit: A Cultural History of American Metaphysical Religion. She would not be happy, however, to be described as a tour guide of religious sideshows, never mind freak shows. She intends to propose a very different way of understanding American religious history as a whole.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;also:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://books.google.com/books?id=fzSP6BRFBzIC&amp;dq&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://books.google.com/books?id=fzSP6BRFBzIC&amp;dq&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Jeffrey Kripal here recounts the spectacular history of Esalen, the institute that has long been a world leader in alternative and experiential education and stands today at the center of the human potential movement. Forged in the literary and mythical leanings of the Beat Generation, inspired in the lecture halls of Stanford by radical scholars of comparative religion, the institute was the remarkable brainchild of Michael Murphy and Richard Price.  Set against the heady backdrop of California during the revolutionary 1960s, Esalen recounts in fascinating detail how these two maverick thinkers sought to fuse the spiritual revelations of the East with the scientific revolutions of the West, or to combine the very best elements of Zen Buddhism, Western psychology, and Indian yoga into a decidedly utopian vision that rejected the dogmas of conventional religion. In their religion of no religion, the natural world was just as crucial as the spiritual one, science and faith not only commingled but became staunch allies, and the enlightenment of the body could lead to the full realization of our development as human beings.&quot;</description>

		<description>It appears &quot;Karma is a bitch&quot; is the highest spiritual insight attainable at the current  sorry functioning level of the planet. My country, the U.S. has certainly been the poster child as much as anyone else in world history. Everyone I know saw 9/11 coming (I even wrote a local letter to the editor to that effect in December 1999) but apparently no one in the U.S. government did. I was at a national meeting of an anti-war veterans group I belong to in August 2001. One guy had just copme back from Europe. He got up and said &quot;You guys don&#039;t understand.  Americans are living in a bubble. Americans are sound asleep. Something terrible is going to happen. The chatter is on the street everywhere else in the world.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is always true of everyone, everywhere. What is going to happen next in life is always as clear as the noon day sun if you just think about it. what is going to happen next in Iran is very clear. What is going to happen next in the Baha&#039;i Faith is very clear. It is all archetypal judgment. All you have to do is read lots of C.G. Jung, the history and literature of the world,  and Marvel Comics. The main thing in life right now is to study the big plays of the Pittsburgh Steelers over the years. That will tell you plenty about what is going to happen next. But neither the clueless in Iran or the clueless in other circles will ever understand the omens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Move to the ball.</description>
