The most gracious gift of God to every lifestream is the totality of Being
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 3 hours ago
There are certain teachers in the Far East who, lacking understanding, have declared that only a ‘living Master’ would suffice to teach them or transfer the essence of light. These sincere but misinformed devotees have not been taught the meaning of life nor do they comprehend who or what is a so-called ”living Master”….The most gracious gift of God to every lifestream is the totality of Being--not a mere fragment but the *totality* of that blessed reality. The deceit of the senses has kept men and women from realizing in full potency all that is of the infinite nature within t...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Americas* Can the plan actually work? *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Army’s biggest and baddest troop carrier might get even bigger. *(This article first appeared in 2018.)* The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle is nominally used to carry infantry into battle, but is frequently misidentified by journalists as a tank.

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Lasers, Americas* Only time will tell if the service will move ahead to operationalize the air-to-ground weapon in the air-to-air role. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The F-16 is already a good plane, but it needs a way to deal with drone swarms. On December 19, 2019 an F-16 Fighting Falcon single-engine jet fighter from the 85th Test & Evaluation Squadron used a single laser-guided rocket (see video here) to down a BQM-167 Skeeter drone over the Gulf of Mexico.
