The Beauty Of The Now

It’s easy to get caught up in the future, or to dwell on the past.  The practice of staying in the moment can be difficult, but it’s rewards are great.

NOW on the border of Oregon and California this train track brings a feeling of freedom and spiritual growth.

NOW in Pasadena California, a moment of Serenity and Peace.

NOW a sunrise in Santa Barbara, California calls for a new beginning and fuels the desire for change.

NOW in Downtown Los Angeles determination to succeed.

NOW at a juice bar in Silverlake, California nourishment fuels the soul.

Look around you right NOW.  What do you feel?  Find the beauty in the everyday moments that we often tend to look past.  Stop the hamster wheel in your mind for just a few seconds, enjoy and embrace the silence.  For to live in the now is to know true peace.  In the end, it’s those moments of peace that make the struggle worth it.

¡THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SWASTIKA!

When you look at the photo below what comes to mind? If it’s anything negative you’re misperceived!

This man represents the Red Swastika Society 世界紅卍字會, a voluntary association founded in China in 1922, who’s mission was broadly based in philanthropy and moral education. They were not NAZIS! What most don’t know is that there are two kinds of swastikas which are broken down below.

Most believe “Swastika” is a German/Nazi term which it is not! In fact it is asanskrit term derived thousands of years ago. The Hakencruze (the Nazi term for their swastika) was stolen from Buddhists and other peaceful cultures. Although some may refer to a hakencruze as a swastika, a swastika is NOT a hakencruze! Swastikas have been used for thousands of years to represent many cultures and religions in a positive manner. Here’s a breakdown of different swastikas used throughout history.

As you can see a multitude of cultures and religions have at one point used the swastika to represent themselves. The true meaning of a swastika is not death, hatred, and intolerance. It’s real meaning is light, love, life, good luck, peace, balance, and universal harmony!

In places like Asia the swastika is widely used on Buddhist temples and Buddhas themselves. The last thing they use the swastika for is to project anything negative.

Even in western culture swastikas are subliminally used as logos! But we don’t use it subliminally, we use it truthfully to represent it’s original meaning and spread positivity and education. Some may consider our idea a bit radical, but that’s only when it’s being misperceived. The truth of the matter is we are here to be creative and do something different, we want to encourage the best of all people. We’re sick and tired of the hate, the separation, the intolerance, the demotivation, and the negative direction we feel we’re taking as a people. We are here to motivate and re-inspire, make rad shit and create even radder vibes. So this is why we use the swastika because it’s original meaning represents us! FUCK WIT IT!!! ✌☮
