Love Juggling... Good Inspirations

The word 'tantra' means the capacity of expansion, that which goes expanding. Sex shrinks you, Tantra expands you. It is the same energy, but it takes a turn. It is no longer selfish, no longer self-centered. It starts spreading - it starts spreading to the whole existence. In sex, for a moment you can attain to the orgasm, and at a great cost. In Tantra you can live in the orgasm twenty-four hours a day, because your very energy becomes orgasmic. And your meeting is no longer with any individual person: your meeting is with the universe itself. You see a tree, you see a flower, you see a star, and there is something like orgasm happening.



And about sex also people are very, very worried. That very worry and that very effort to do something is the problem. Sex happens; it is not a thing that you have to do. So you have to learn the eastern attitude toward sex, the Tantra attitude. The Tantra attitude is that you be loving to a person. There is no need to plan, there is no need to rehearse in the mind. There is no need to do anything in particular: just be loving and available. Go on playing with each other's energy. And when you start making love, there is no need to make it great. Otherwise you will be pretending and so will the other person. He will pretend that he is a great lover and you will pretend that you are a great lover ... and both are unsatisfied! There is no need to pose anything. It is a very silent prayer. Making love is meditation. It is sacred, it is the holiest of holies. So while you are making love to a man go very slowly ... with taste, taking in every flavor of it. And very slowly: there is no hurry, no need to hurry, enough time is there.

THE OPEN SECRET


If you can go on growing in this intimacy, which is no more excitement, then the joy will arise: first excitement, then love, then joy. Joy is the ultimate product, the fulfillment. Excitement is just a beginning, a triggering; it is not the end. And those who finish at excitement will never know what love is, will never know the mystery of love, will never know the joy of love. They will know sensations, excitement, passionate fever, but they will never know the grace that is love. They will never know how beautiful it is to úbe with a person with no excitement but with silence, with no words, with no effort to do anything. Just being together, sharing one space, one being, sharing each other, not thinking of what to do, what to say, where to go, how to enjoy; all those things are gone. The storm is over and there is silence. And it is not that you will not make love but it will not be a making really; it will be a love happening. It will happen out of grace, out of silence, out of rhythm; it will arise from your depths, it will not be bodily really. There is a sex which is spiritual, which has nothing to do with the body. Although the body partakes in it, participates in it, it is not the source of it. Then sex takes on the color of Tantra, only then.


And this merger should not become unconscious, otherwise you miss the point. Then it is a beautiful sex act, but not transformation. It is beautiful, nothing is wrong in it , but it is not transformation. And if it is unconscious then you will always be moving in a rut. Again and again you will want to have this experience. The experience is beautiful as far as it goes, but it will become a routine. And each time you have it, again more desire is created. he more you have it, the more you desire it, and you move in a viscous circle. You don't grow, you just rotate. Rotation is bad, because then growth is not happening. Then energy is simply wasted. Even if the experience is good, the energy is wasted, because much more was possible. And it was just at the corner, just a turn, and much more was possible. With the same energy the divine could have been achieved. With the same energy the ultimate ecstasy is possible, and you are wasting that energy in momentary experiences. And by and by those experiences will become boring, because repeated again and again, everything becomes boring. When the newness is lost, boredom is created. If you remain alert you will see: first, changes of energy in the body, second, dropping of the thoughts from the mind; and third, dropping of the ego from the heart.

A Little Spin


Kenya has really changed. Think of the olden days when you could sleep behind cells if not torture chambers if u ever uttered something against the government! Thanks to democracy which have open a huge personal opinion space. Great dedication goes to all those who push for multipartism in this lovely country. Gone are those days.

Watching whats happening on the streets, on tv screen and reading on newspapers forced me to edit this editorial. As i had said in another post that corruption is a vice, it has refused to get out of our leaders. Yesterday we saw the demonstration of ODM fans (i use fans bcoz political parties currently in Kenya are like football clubs, it depends on who u support thus u r a fan) demanding the resignation of the good old KACC chief.

To be precise, i support them because Ringera has not committed himself to eradicating corruption and dealing with the corrupt tycoons. He is just there to wait for his fat monthly payslip of kshs. 2 million courtesy of tax payers. While Kibaki is keeping it to himself, a self proclaim queen of constitution affairs ministry is shouting to all her might that she will never sack king of KACC. The 'queen' released a 'list of shame', so what is the next step? She has never acted! If this is the trend, expect soon for the release of Chomondley for lack of enough evidence after manslaughter!

Ohhh! where r we heading to? Will ever see a change? Corruption is infused in Kenyans' bloods that it has refused to go. Lets all arise and fight this evil.

But what do you think? Do you think Ringera should stay or go? Over to you.

KENYA IS OUR COUNTRY: Who has Got Any Issues With Us?

I love Kenya, its my motherland. Najivunia kuwa Mkenya, though sometimes i ve to vumulia. But that cann't carry me away 4rm loving it. Think of this beautiful country with great pple. I am wrtting this bcoz of one thing i read in today's paper (Daily Nation). Yesterday Mr. Bush was having a breakfast meeting with Tanzanian president Jakaya Kikwete, do u know what they discussed?..the 'political instability' in Kenya! I am asking this, which country is more stable btw Kenya and Tanzania? Tz lags behind economically bcoz of its past leadership..thats communism. Who is Kikwete to comment abt Kenyan domestic issues. Is he our gava spokesman? He has more burning issues to give Tanzanians: to deliver TZ 4rm poverty and femine than to discuss political issues abt Kenya. Thats why Kenya shuld consider before joining EAC. As Kenyans, if that is passed thro a referundum, we shuld vote no. The discussion will affect the cordial relationship between Kenya and Tanzania. There were Kenya's representative in US who would have been consulted if there were any political instability.

There were Darfur, Somalia, DRC and even Uganda conficts which cause more instability in the region. Why didn't they try to find out lasting solution to this. Furthermore, when they were saying this, Kenya is enjoying international limelight as a hub where peace is coined and is a regional economic hub. What do Tanzanians have pride in? Their communism failed them.

We are satisfied being Kenyans. Tunajivunia kuwa Wakenya.

Over to you pple.

CORRUPTION IN KENYA

Githongo back to breath behind Kibaki’s neck

The corruption vice that has haunted Kibaki's administration might hit a new height if former czar chief Githongo returns to Kenya.

He once served President Kibaki as a loyal anti-corruption czar, but today he is turning out to be the biggest nightmare for his former boss and close friend of his father. The former Permanent Secretary for Ethics, could well define Narc Government’s political future.

Just after the President sat back to watch the ghost of Anglo Leasing, which pushed his Government to the threshold of a political abyss, sink, it now appears it has found its way back.

The ghost, which sprung from the Sh7 billion twin forensic kit and passport controversial projects awarded to a shadowy firm, could soon be straddling the land in the form of his former Ethics and Governance Permanent Secretary John Githongo.

The last time it swept across Kenya, the Anglo Leasing gale swept two ministers closest to the President – David Mwiraria (Finance) and Kiraitu Murungi (Justice) – out of the Cabinet. Several others, including Vice President Moody Awori, under whom the Immigrations department fell, was left hanging onto the post by the skin of the teeth.

With last week’s address by the man who released tapes suggesting Kiraitu tried to slow him down while investigating the scandals, Githongo has refocused attention a matter that had needled Kibaki’s administration for long. And he spoke just when attention was riveted on the raging Orange Democratic Movement of Kenya and the Narc Kenya.

Could corruption be the platform on which next year’s election will be fought? And what is Githongo’s place in the fast changing streak of events? Githongo stirred the embers of the slackening war against corruption, and the debate on whether it’s on course is back on the lips. That is why hot on the heels of Githongo’s speech in the US, KACC director Aaron Ringera mounted the platform to announce, yet again, that some accounts were to be frozen soon. Of course there are those who argued that making the announcement alone, instead of doing it stealthily, gave the owners of the suspect bulging accounts time to transfer the money.

And in the last one—month there have been developments on both the local and international scene, suggesting a tough time ahead for the president on the graft front.

Githongo may, as an individual, prove a much bigger headache for the president than initially anticipated and, in the long run, his anti—corruption crusade in Europe and the US could highly dent KACC’s image.

It came against the backdrop of claims that Ringera’s team has lost the fire to fight graft and is merely pandering to the whims of those in power and reacting only to media reports.

The question critics ask is whether something tangible will come from Ringera this time round given that he has previously talked tough about what Kacc plans for the corrupt, especially when the Government appears to be coming under intense scrutiny over corruption, with no commensurate action.

It is lost to worth noting that soon after the President’s former anti—corruption czar delivered his address in Washington DC, the US President George W Bush talked directly about corruption in Kenya and asked the Government to urgently address the problem.

Even if only by sheer coincidence, the statements by Mr Bush and Mr Githongo in the US came only a few weeks after a similarly scathing criticism of the Government’s war on corruption by the Senator of the State of Illinois, Barrack Obama, whose speech is said to have had the tacit approval of the US Government.

It is also significant that Mr Githongo, who is officially living in the UK, spoke even as the UK High Commissioner to Kenya, Adam Wood, echoed the sentiments of President Bush about the lack of political will to fight corruption in the country. Mr wood questioned why the Government has never prosecuted the tops guns implicated in Anglo Leasing, the biggest scandal yet to rock the administration of President Kibaki.

He said his Government would only take the Government’s anti—corruption war seriously, first, if it showed its commitment to either clear or prosecute the ministers who resigned in the wake of the Anglo Leasing scandal last year and, two, the Kenya anti—Corruption Commission completed investigations into the affair and the Attorney initiated genuine prosecutions.

Instead—and this has not only been the concern of the international community but also that of the local citizens—very little, as Githongo lamented, is being done with regard to Anglo Leasing scandal.

Mr Githongo particularly finds it inexplicable that the Government has showed little interest in pursuing the evidence he adduced last year to various Government agencies, prompting him to place the blame for the stalled anti—corruption war squarely at the door steps of the President and the enormous constitutional powers vested in that office.

And, even though his father was close to Kibaki and by extension he became close to the President himself, Githongo sudden resignation last year and his consistent criticism of the Government’s anti—corruption war around the world is defining the country’s global image and diplomatic relations between the Kibaki administration and its bilateral partners. Kenya’s relations with the US and Europe generally are today being defined by what the foreign nations seem to understand as the Government’s preferred mode of handling the twin issues of corruption and tribalism.

That Kenya’s main international partners are beginning to define their nature of diplomatic relations with the country on the basis of corruption-related issues from the prism of Githongo, and that tribalism as a national challenge has been elevated to diplomatic levels, is evidenced in not just the otherwise telling speeches of George W. Bush and other diplomats but also from the fact that the issues are becoming part of the brief the countries are outlining for the envoys being accredited to Nairobi.

It could have been coincidental, but it was certainly significant, that just days before Obama visited the country last month; the US Government was also posting Mr Michael Ranneberger as its new ambassador to Nairobi. Amid reports that the US, through its new envoy to Nairobi, plans to address corruption and tribalism in Kenya more forcefully, it is certainly not by chance that its intelligence network in Nairobi was keen on collecting information about what Kenyans think about tribalism and corruption. It is understood that part of their findings are what Mr Obama talked about in his address at the University of Nairobi.

This sort of diplomatic movements and reorientation of policy towards Kenya was first triggered partly by public concerns over corruption, but mainly by Githongo’s departure last year. And now that Mr Githongo has indicated he plans to return to Kenya, what he says and does with regard to corruption and tribalism in the next few weeks is likely to have greater political implications for the Kibaki administration.

The timing of his disclosure of plans to return is particularly significant because it just when the Government is grappling with how to handle pressure for constitutional reforms only months to the general election. In his speech in the Washington DC last week, Githongo said the fear of losing General Elections and opposition to constitutional reforms that may reduce presidential powers could have given rise to the Anglo Leasing scandal as Kibaki’s political allies desperately struggled to fend off, even raise money to buy off, the opposition.

His coming back therefore is definitely exciting the local political opposition. It also raises eyebrows in Government circles, a fact that may just heighten concerns over how to handle his security. The biggest headache however remains; what is he now up to and how much does he know that he wants to spill?

RELATIONSHIPS AND FOOTBALL



I know this will lead me in to troubles with ladies. You are watching the ball, its a game of do and die.. btw your team (as if u ve shares) and another uptown rival. U r shouting on top of your voice, calling an idiot your team's striker after he was robbed of the ball, as if you watching the game life in the stadium. Furthermore, the teams are European clubs (you know what i mean with crazy Kenyans abt English football). Your gal waz juz cleaning dishes, after completing her work she rushed to sitting only to find you almost hitting the TV screen and cursing a certain imbecile who missed an almost free goal. she pretends to be following the game closely but in her mind she thinking (Who is more important btw her and the ball?).

She sat there so annoyed and when you r busy watching the screen she is busy cursing you behind your back! Then all over a sudden, your team scored a fantastic goal. You jumped over the seat, up almost hitting the ceiling shouting (goooooaaaaal!) only to land on her. Then trouble starts, but as you still watching the game and you dont wanna miss even a move, you just ignore her. She starts crying, thinking that you will confort her (hell with you, in the middle of the game!..lol!),

"You don even love me, how the hell could love football more than your gal...."

Then finally she decides to leave, she goes pretending to be sleeping but thinking of what she will do to appreciate her and forget about the game you are watching.

In a few minutes she comes out of the bedroom dressed romantically thinking that she will lure you out of the screen! Romantic moves and gestures, she comes all the way and careress you 4rm behind.... "My love, you are the only i have in my life...i love you" but you never even hear a word. You are concentrating on game that you can't even feel her presence! She now becomes very annoyed and angry, rush in to the bedroom and bang the door.

After the game, your team scored many goals past that long time uptown rival, u r celebrating, rush to a fridge... dish out a champagne n start gulping like an angry doggie in jubilation! not realising that you will be denied the all good things you love!!!!

You run in to the bedroom, throw out your clothes.. then wanna start your job! Lol! she is sleeping facing the wall. But you ladies with their simple minds, you start vomiting some few romantic and charming words, she lights up and there starts life.....

Few things ladies should know:
Never interrupt your man when he is watching football. Never go near a remote control during a live match. Never criss-cross the screen during a live match. and finally: Men and football... you better love it or go away!

Ladies don hate me.

KENYA'S POLITICAL 'ENIGMAS'



Watching whats goin on in our political scene makes me write this article. Lets look at some our political die-hards, who r always there to mislead n misinform us. As youths who comprise of over 60% of Kenya's population, we shuld force for a change. Lets look at this:

Mwai Kibaki: The "kupaff" edition fellow, Mr. President we elected u as a president after u were declared 'Kibaki Tosha' by ur now political enemy Agwambo. The origin of the word 'kupaff' is Muthaiga golf club, this fellow always says 'kupafu' when he missed the target, now he is so addicted that he forgets that he is addressing wananchi then goes all the way calling them "kupafu". Mr. president, the only thing we praise u is the democratic space u created (lest i culd b censured here). The only point u missed is corruption fight, u ve never acted on all those commissions of inquiries reports. After all this five, its now ur high time that u leave the seat for a young blood.

Raila Agwambo Odinga: mmmm... the guy who always move his goal posts, he is always changing 4rm one political party to another, we r tired of this fellow. He is a greedy fellow who wanna take control of power. He is the guy who waz behind all the blood shed of 1982 coup trial, after all his 'tsunamis' now its high time he is voted out. Go n enjoy ur wealth. Leave the seat for junior politician.

Uhuru Kenyatta: He is a young politician, the problem is he waz imposed on us... he is one of the few millionaires in Kenya who is not willing share with landless Kenyans. My advice to him is, betta go and manage his family's wealth. What really does he needs in politics? Furthermore, he is still Moi's project.

Kalonzo Musyoka: Served in Kanu regime for a long time, he betta stay away.

William Ruto: The YK92 fellow, i c him also as a Moi's project. Keep it low.

The list is endless.....................

All we need is fresh young bloods in politics. I am urging all the youths to trash all this filth in the ninth parliament and vote in young energetic men/women. If u r reading this plz pass on to at least 10 youths u know then we gonna c change in next years general election.
Lets all arise n vote change.

WHATS THIS?

If you're feeling a little run down

just remember,

it could always be worse. Much worse!

I am posting this coz of ma bitterness, Sato waz the worst day, talking of Kenya's futball scenes.... i hope now u r gettin me. How can we b humiliated by underdogs b4 enormous crowd (i mean patriotic Kenyans who love home soccer!) Though futball is a gamble game, u never know, but the worst thing is to score against urself as was done by our goalie. Those r the mistakes u will regret to make.

I love fuball, but what happened on Sato will make me hate Kenya's futball... u will find me screwed to big screen enjoying English premier leagues... for a big star like Oliech to miss a penalt is the worst nitemare, this is trully painful for Kenya's ailing soccer.

Anyway i can't accuse them, they really tried, but the problem is that they didnt play their game... they played like the Eritreans who were there to kill the game. If u watched the game u culd realise or rather conclude that it waz not to the high standard.. it waz like a rough game.

What next, lets wait for the next game, time is too early to predict... hope Lama will correct all the mistakes done.

For our game to improve, KFF n gava shuld commit themselves n support our teams get the best training. We don wanna b seeing them only training in Kasarani, they shuld go n train even outside Kenya.

Have a fab Monday.
