Meet the Democrats using porn ads to
convince Trump voters to stay home
Wally Nowinski and Matt Curry, two regular
voters with tech backgrounds, discussed how
to help defeat Donald Trump. Nowinski saw
potential in porn sites. They formed a
political action committee, raised $100,000,
and spent $25,000 on ads, reaching 5 million
views in October, aiming to persuade Trump-
leaning, porn-viewing voters to sit out the
election. Trump hasn't endorsed a
pornography ban, though allies have backed
conservative policies calling for one.

For what I long felt was an imaginary nectar, i realize now that my framework was too limited. Bindu's mysteries go beyond just yogic texts. sSome go as far as linking it to cosmic consciousness: in Vedanta, the power of Shiva and Shakti in Kashmir Shaivism, and the union of consciousness in Kundalini Yoga.

I had heard tell of its depiction as 'ojas' in Ayurveda and as spheres of light in Tibetan Buddhism (though the word is different).

This video is a journey into understanding the interconnectedness and intangible essence that enrich our yoga practice and daily lives.
