A 2021 state law allows campus police to own military equipment for civilian safety – students fear it may be used to quash dissent
Planning a mega Kent State … Acoustic weapons that “can cause permanent hearing damage even during a short exposure” used 70 times in a single school year. In California alone, “hundreds of semi-automatic rifles, thousands of munitions containing the same chemical as chili peppers, and hundreds of thousands of rifle munitions.”
my concern is less what you believe, more that you are free and safe to believe it

Conciliation des opposés
La philosophie suprême, c’est la doctrine de la Conciliation des opposés. * Ce n’est pas l’ennemi que vous avez à combattre mais l’erreur de l’ennemi: l’erreur que commet votre prochain lorsqu’il lui arrive de se croire votre ennemi.

feels / blessed / a lesson in how to live.
just had one of those moments that sits with you. you know?
thinking about discipline & strength – not just the physical kind, but the deep, inner kind. the kind that people like Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore embody. and then connecting it to the oldest, quietest wisdom: Jain philosophy.
it’s not a religion of "don’ts." it’s a manual for how to be. it teaches restraint (sanyam) not as a limitation, but as the ultimate form of freedom. it shapes an entire way of life. a life that isn’t just good for you, but has ripple effects for everyone, everywhere. ahimsa (non-harm), aparigraha (non-hoarding)… these aren’t just ideas. they’re tools for a broken world.
and then… to hear the blessings of His Holiness Acharya Shri 108 Prasanna Sagar Ji Maharaj. his words aren’t loud. they’re deep. they settle in your bones. i feel so, so blessed. fortunate. quiet inside.
it was a reminder: true power is calm. true wealth is needing less. the most impactful life is a mindful one.
carrying this feeling forward.
