Qatmuk - Stand Our Ground 2012
For almost 20 years the Ktunaxa have said no to Jumbo Glacier Resort. A ski resort proposed in the heart of an area, we, the Ktunaxa call Qatmuk. For Ktunaxa, Qatmuk is where the Grizzly Bear Spirit was born, goes to heal itself, and returns to the spirit world. The Grizzly Bear Spirit is a unique and indispensable source of collective and individual guidance, strength, and protection for Ktunaxa. Jumbo Resort, if built, will sever this special and significant connection that we have developed over a 10000 year period. Ktunaxa have been the victim of residential schools, and systematically attempts to destroy our culture and heritage. We hid our language, culture and spiritual beliefs, in order to save them from attempts by the government to often beat them out of our lives. We resorted to keeping our most precious beliefs a secret, in order to protect and preserve them for future Ktunaxa generations. Despite attempts to destroy who we were.... We survived Despite attempts to destroy our spirituality.... We persevered Nobody has the right to take away what is rightfully ours. We shared information with the BC Government that we hold very dear, and do not trust outsiders with, yet they chose not hear our words. Despite it impacting Ktunaxa spirituality forever.

Mumford Sons - Ghosts That We Knew - The O2 Arena - Live in London - December 11 2012
Folk rock band, Mumford Sons played the O2 Arena on December 11 2012, their first Arena gig on their home turf of London, England. Having seen them play the Hammersmith Apollo in 2010, I knew they could raise up a feeling of ecstasy in an audience, almost akin to spirituality, in a live gig. And this gift of theirs translated beautifully to the supersized setting of the O2 Arena! Here Mumford Sons perform "Ghosts That We Knew," taken from their 2012 album, "Babel." Also, Marcus told of of his struggle with a "rogue button." 🙂 Find Mumford Sons here: mumfordandsons.com (Artist reserves all rights, no copyright infringement intended).From:steveatgigsViews:1 0ratingsTime:07:16More inMusic

Liberals in our Midst: How the Religious Left Is Changing America’s Future

Posted on by

After a hotly contested election year withonce againa particular focus on the religious right, many Americans are left with a generalized view of organized spirituality as being dogmatic and intolerant of differences. Though such generalities might be based on some specifics, they exclude an entire movement of clergy and religiously-affiliated laypeople who actively campaign for progressive issues such as marriage equality, gender equality and racial tolerance.

In fact, this religious left is effectively changing the way the public views some of the most significant social justice issues facing America today.

Self-identifying Christian and Jewish activists played a large role in legalizing same-sex marriage in four states this year. Jay Michaelson is an openly gay religious scholar, longtime LGBT activist, and author of God vs. Gay? The Religious Case for Equality. Michaelson was part of that movement for marriage equality, working at a grass-roots level to help faith-based communities reconcile their spiritual beliefs with the rights of the LGBT community. As a result, states like Maryland made history by voting to legalize same-sex marriage.

Michaelson tells TakePart that those wins came from faith-based principles that allowed activists to meet people with compassion and understanding. We won because we were able to have conversations one on one with people of faith who are not bigoted or close-minded, but are sincerely struggling with these issues. Really, its a statistical fact that most people are somewhere in the middle. A lot of people of faith were supportive in general, but had deep reservations. We were able to engage with millions of people across the country during this election season, and thats the role we [religiously affiliated groups] should be playing.

Though LGBT rights and deep religious belief might superficially appear to be in conflict, its precisely because of their faith that the so-called religious left can embrace and champion the rights of people who are often maligned or looked upon as being on the fringe.

Pastor Joseph W. Tolton, the leader of Harlems groundbreaking Temple Christ Conscious Church, sees his faith as an instrument of inclusion. The pastor credits President Obama with introducing that concept to the country as a whole.

Whatever spirituality means, it has something to do with being honest and truthful to yourself and others and being available to love and you cant do all those things if youre lying about who you are to yourself and everybody else.

Tolton tells TakePart, When President Obama made his declaration to support marriage equality, for me the most important thing that he said was that his faith informed his decision. The cultural market is presenting a wonderful opportunity for faith to take a new role in driving the principles and the values of inclusion and driving a social justice agenda at the intersection of womens rights, racial justice and LGBT inclusion, which actually play off of each other and work in support of each other. These issues are no longer siloed. I think thats something the left brings to faith-based organizing.

Michaelson says that his earliest beliefs about his Jewish faith made him feel a sense of shame and fear about identifying as gay. Later, he came to understand that his beliefs and his sexuality were actually perfectly aligned. Whatever spirituality means, it has something to do with being honest and truthful to yourself and others and being available to loveand you cant do all those things if youre lying about who you are to yourself and everybody else.

Plants Grow the Same in Space as They Do on Earth – Video

Plants Grow the Same in Space as They Do on Earth
Good news for future farmers in space: A new finding shows plants grow just fine without gravity. National Geographic reports that an experiment sent to the International Space Station in 2010 has shown that seeds sprouted in space much the same as they would back on Earth, "growing away from the seed to seek nutrients and water in exactly the same pattern observed with gravity." The flowers were grown on a nutrient-rich gel in clear Petri plates. The seedlings revealed that gravity plays little apparent role in plant growth, upending previous assumptions. No doubt astronauts sent to colonize space will be relieved they can enjoy something more than freeze-dried ice cream on their way to the stars.From:slatesterViews:313 14ratingsTime:00:45More inScience Technology
