"Religious denominations practice segregation.  Political affiliations practice segregation.  Racial classifications practice segregation.  Income levels practice segregation.  Practice U-N-I-TY to improve common unity (Community)."

As most of you know, I am not a supporter of meat consumption.  It's not the taste that bothers me, it's the unhealthy ramifications on the body from eating meat.  If you read my article, How to Naturally Cure Eczema & Other Skin Disorders, then you know that we healed our son of the condition by changing his diet.  By reducing the intake of animal protein and dairy products, we were able to greatly reduce the inflammation in his body that was evident by the disappearance of eczema patches or as we call them, "itchy spots".

The "Natural Cure for Eczema" article also revealed that when we slipped on our diet and started re-introducing dairy & meat to his system, it made his skin condition worse and he flared up badly!  We changed nothing but his diet.  So, when we reduced the meat and dairy, our son healed himself but  when we did not eat as conscious, he returned to an acidic, inflammation-filled state.
 
 
It seems like life is one big test.  Some people study and pass with flying colors.  Others, do not take it serious enough and have difficulties achieving success.  Some, look like they never study but show up on test day and somehow achieve favorable results.

No matter who you are, where you're at or what you do, you will experience trials & tribulations in your lifetime.  This is certain!  The question is, will you grow and learn from your challenges or will you keep repeating the test?

This lesson is known by most but heeded by few...

No, I'm not talking about physically.  I'm talking about being mentally into the present moment of whatever your are partaking in?  Are you in class and mentally in class also?  Or are you in class but thinking about your significant other and plans for the weekend?

It's easy for most people to get sidetracked on this railroad we call life.  Derailing is scary enough in itself that some of us can not be "present" in our journey.  But, what do you expect from not mentally being in any given railway car?  How will you know when it's your time to depart the train and foot the way to your destination?  Better yet, do you even know where your destination is?

What is in Enlightenment?  What is it all about?  Enlightenment can mean different things to different people.  So, what does enlightenment mean to me?  It's comprised of many factors and there are different ways of achieving "it".  I can watch something that I was unfamiliar with previously and become a little more enlightened.  Or, I can go on a spiritual journey to an isolated mountaintop and feel more enlightened.  It basically can't be bottled up into some restrictive box as we generally do.

The truth of the matter is, enlightenment or the act of becoming enlightened is a journey.  On that journey, there will be many lessons.  As with most things that are worthwhile, it may seem difficult at times.  You may experience sadness or regret.  You will experience joy and cheerfulness.  Because without all these different emotions and situations, you will not be able to learn.  Yeah, maybe enlightenment is about learning.  Learning who we are.  Leaning about the Universe.  Learning about how we fit into this paradigm we call life.
