039I know how powerful your voices are039 Taylor Swift urges fans to vote



Taylor Swift has encouraged her fans to make sure they are registered to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

Taylor Swift has encouraged her US fans to vote.

The 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker - who has 272 million followers on Instagram - urged her supporters to use their "powerful" voices and ensure they are registered to go to the polls at the upcoming midterm elections.

Sharing a link to vote.org's Everything You Need to Vote page - where people can sign up, check their registration, request an absentee ballot, receive election reminders and check the registration deadlines in their state - she wrote on her Instagram Story: "Are you registered to vote yet?

"I've been so lucky to see so many of you at my US shows recently.

"I've heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you're ready to use them in our elections this year!

"Register to vote in less than 2 minutes at vote.org/nvrd.(sic)"

This isn't the first time the 33-year-old star has encouraged her fans to vote.

In July, she called on people in Nashville to take part in the city's mayoral elections.

Showing off her 'I voted today' sticker, she wrote at the time: "Hi Nashville! Early voting for our city officials and some statewide seats begins today.

"We have the opportunity to choose those who will represent us for the next four years.

"I voted today and I urge each and every one of you to do the same and make your voice heard.(sic)"

Back in 2020, Taylor took to Twitter to condemn "racial injustice" in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

She also encouraged US citizens who are old enough to vote to make their voices heard for the country's presidential election - which ultimately saw Joe Biden take office after beating then-leader Donald Trump - so they can elect people who will fight to end systemic racism.

In a series of tweets, she wrote: "Racial injustice has been ingrained deeply into local and state governments, and changes MUST be made there. In order for policies to change, we need to elect people who will fight against police brutality and racism of any kind. #BlackLivesMatter

"We need to fight for mail-in voting for the 2020 election. No one should have to choose between their health and having their voice heard. http://VOTE.ORG (sic)"

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn
