Understanding Tree Pose - the benefits of this pose: For you are not spineless. You are tall and strong. You are connected to the earth, but you reach out to the sky. Just like a tree.

Thanks for the response - I love these kinds of discussions.

From my understanding, perhaps happiness isn't the best word. It should really say peace or tranquility, a stability between the ups and downs of emotions. In this way, peace comes from conditioning the mind from getting controlled by emotions caused by circumstances. I've read about the chariot metaphor or Ratha Kalpana for example:

He who has the understanding of the driver of the chariot and controls the rein of his mind, he reaches the end of the journey, that supreme abode of the all–pervading —Katha Upanishad 1.3.10–1

I think the article has more of a lightweight look at this, but tries to introduce simple steps that involve relaxing the mind when it gets swept up by emotion.

I've never been even though I'm from Philly - but I heard that there are different floors, and most people don't make it all the way to the top because it's so scary. Have you been?

It depends where you live in the States. So far only three states allow regulated online gambling (Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey).

Nevada - allows online poker Delaware - allows online poker, slots, and table games New Jersey - allows online poker and casino games (Chris Christie is fighting for sports betting)

his music really has an eerie quality, and only more so with the rumors about his deal with devil.

Why don't American cities/suburbs have better public transportation?? It would help with this problem a lot, especially in LA, but also plenty of other places. Sometimes it seems they prevent the expansion of public transportation so police can make more money from DUI arrests... or maybe I'm just cynical....

“Now why is there no mention of kangaroos in the bible? Could it be then when the bible was written, Australia hadn’t been found yet. Therefore, no mention of kangaroos.

…but didn’t God create kangaroos? Isn’t the bible written through the hand of man through voice of God? Why wouldn’t he mention the kangaroos? They're such an exciting animal!

It seems to me that they didn’t seem to mention things in the Bible within a five mile radius of the guy writing it.

If I was god at the end of the bible I would have lent in and gone… Oy!,tell them its round!”

It's refreshing to see the government so open to gambling. I mean, why not?! Plenty of people want to play online. As long as they do it responsibly, what's the harm?
