Iranian Women Are Posting Pics With Their Hair Flying Free In Protest Of Strict Hijab Laws

Source: www.boredpanda.com | Original Post Date: July 1, 2015 –

Wearing the Islamic hijab veil is mandatory for women in Iran, and in 2014, Iran’s morality police warned, fined or arrested 3.6 million women for inappropriate dress. Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist and activist living in the U.S., wants to change this, and she’s started by inviting Iranian women to send in pictures of themselves enjoying their unveiled hair.

Alinejad makes her points beautifully in an interview with Vox; “My mother wants to wear a scarf. I don’t want to wear a scarf. Iran should be for both of us.” Read on for more of her story!

Last year, 3.6 million women in Iran were warned, fined or arrested for not wearing hijabs

This Barber Gives Free Haircuts To The Homeless, What It Provides Them Is A Lot More Than A Clean Look

Six days a week, Nasir Sobhani is a hard-working barber who is overcoming his own challenges in life by pushing himself to master his craft. Rather than electing to take the 7th day off, however, Nasir uses that time to give back to his community in hopes of inspiring a fresh start for those who need it, just as he once did.

He calls his off-day outreach work “Clean Cut Clean Start,” offering free haircuts to the homeless. Now known as The Street’s Barber, Nasir not only provides a fresh new hairstyle, but more importantly, a level of heartfelt connection and attention to individuals that, for the most part, are used to being faced with the exact opposite.

Daily Message ~ Thursday July 9, 2015

If you could see that the unfoldment of life is pure magic, you would stop to savour all of life’s stages, and move into a deep satisfaction with your experience, regardless of what was happening. You would harness the gifts that exist for you in all phases of the flow, and enjoy a far greater state of grace, ease and peace because the resistance would be replaced with acceptance and appreciation. You would finally allow yourself to experience the divine perfection of it all. ~Archangel Gabriel

4 Videos That Will Completely Change Your Perspective Of The World

Media can communicate many different messages to us. It can be messages of subservience or messages of liberation. This time, it’s the latter. The first clip is from Charlie Chaplin’s film, The Great Dictator. His monologue stated:

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone – if possible – Jew, Gentile – black man – white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness – not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Can Oneness Hunt Oneness?

God said:

It is I Who is your servant, dear child. You protest. You say: “God, that You serve does not make You a servant.”

Beloved beloved, We are not We but One, and, so it is that the Served is the Server. Or, it can be said, that there is Self-Service, and this is all there can be. You have heard before that the Seeker is the Sought. The One Who finds can only find himself. If there is only Oneness, the Fullness of Oneness, then it can also be said that there is no one to seek. There is only the Found. That which you seek is Thy Own Self. Can Oneness hunt Oneness?

In this sense, grammar plays a part. There is a big division and intricate display of that which is named grammar. Only straight-out Being is True. You are the Be-er of Being. There is no action, interaction, or cross-action. Grammar tries to keep you in place.

It has been said that John loves Mary, yet love is not exactly movement. Love is Being. It cannot correctly be said that John loves Mary. It can correctly be said that John loves, the sun shines, water is wet, yet nothing goes anywhere or can land anywhere. In one sense, it cannot truthfully be said that Being is everywhere because there is no space for Being to go to. Being is full, yet there is no somewhere for Being to travel to or from or to be received or given.

Of course, science says that the truth is that everything is in motion as unseen atoms streaming when Life is still life. Only Stillness exists.

All speech is a manner of speech.

Existence is life.

Curiosity is good, curiosity is beautiful, but don't stop at it. It is a good beginning, but not the end, because curiosity always remains lukewarm. It is an intellectual gymnastics.

It is good to be curious because that is how one starts the journey of inquiry into existence; but if one simply remains curious, then there will be no intensity in it. One can move from one curiosity to another - one will become a driftwood - from one wave to another wave, never getting anchored anywhere.

Curiosity is good as a beginning, but then one has to become more passionate. One has to make life a quest, not only a curiosity. And what do I mean when I say one has to make one's life a quest?

Curiosity creates questions, but your life never becomes a quest. Questions are many, a quest is one. When some question becomes so important to you that you are ready to sacrifice your life for it, then it is a quest. When some question has such importance, such significance that you can gamble, that you can stake all that you have, then it becomes a quest.

THE UNIVERSE IS OUR HIGHER SELF, IN THIS WE ARE ALL ONE

ALL OF HUMANITY'S HIGHER SELVES ARE STANDING AT THE DOOR OF EACH AND EVERY HUMAN HEART = EARTH AND SOMETHING GREATER IS OCCURRING. AWAKENING IS THE GIFT REALITY IS TO BE. HAVE A BRILLIANT DAY, BE HAPPY. LOVE IS YOU, ALWAYS PRESENT UNIVERSALLY. YEP!

WITHIN THE LIVING UNIVERSE NOW IS ALL THE SAME, YET UNIQUELY DIFFERENT TO THE PLACE WHERE THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS CONNECTED, UNIVERSALLY. THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS.

LOVE IS THE CONNECTION TO THE LIVING NOW OF WHICH IS THE CONSCIOUS UNIVERSE. THE UNIVERSE IS OUR HIGHER SELF, IN THIS WE ARE ALL ONE.

THE DISTRACTION IS THE ILLUSION OF BEING SEPARATE FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF THE NOW. THE ILLUSION OF THE OUTER IS THE DISTRACTION BEING PRESENTED AS REALITY.

N.Y. Stock Exchange Shuts Down

"NYSE/NYSE MKT has temporarily suspended trading in all symbols," stock market says

The New York Stock Exchange was temporary halted due to an alleged “technical issue.”

“NYSE/NYSE MKT has temporarily suspended trading in all symbols,” the NYSE said in a statement. “Additional information will follow as soon as possible.”

Art Cashin, director of floor operations at the NYSE, told CNBC it had been a “bumpy day” before the stock market was shut down.

“We had some technical problems even before the opening,” he said.

The suspension of trading, however, will no doubt fuel concerns whether other factors also influenced the decision to pull the plug.
