Janet Jackson (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty) sat down with Gotham Magazine and talked about her New Year's resolutions. "I want to learn a language. I haven't decided which, but it's between French, Spanish and Italian. I also want to get closer to God." Been there, done that. [Bossip]
Singer Tyrese tweeted some "advice" to his "fans" recently. "Pain: A lot of WOMEN don't know that they're doing it but they USE their KIDS as WEAPONS towards their FATHERS this is just HORRIBLE...You had UNPROTECTED SEX and MADE THAT BABY!!!! Can't look BACK that show YOU CHOOSE to be with...PERIOD!! Bulls--t Blame Game!! I've said it BEFORE...Stop PLAYING VICTIM. Wanting everyone to feel SORRY for YOU...WOMEN UP & MAN UP !!!!!!! Period!!!" Um, got something on your mind, Black Ty? Is there someone in particular whom you wish would "Women up?" [Twitter]

If we desire getting closer to God... we need understanding definition of God! The meaning of God... definition of God is best explained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the most sacred scripture existing on mother earth! As detailed in Bhagavad Gita god almighty is not form of human beings. The sum total of all purified soul atmans in cosmos at a given moment of time is what we know as God Almighty!

This enormous cluster of cosmic primordial power much beyond comprehension of all human beings is Nirakaar in form (having no form)! God Almighty is not form of human beings. God Almighty always acts as a Dhrishta (onlooker) never interfering with creation of his! God Almighty exists in all human beings in miniscule form as our soul atman... the spirit within!

Getting closer to God simply means merging our inner self with larger whole... God Almighty himself! When human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... it announced end of cosmic life for soul atman... the spirit within! Reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in cosmic life cycle is goal of every soul atman... the spirit within!

For human beings to gain enlightenment... assimilating wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita is foremost necessity! Only by knowing Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism human beings gained enlightenment (reached stage of kaivalya jnana)... never otherwise! The contents of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally. All 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita suffice for mankind reaching stage of enlightenment... and finally salvation (moksha)!

The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes knower of all... gains omniscience for all practical purposes! Enlightenment is reached via path of spirituality... never religion! Understanding difference between religion and spirituality is foremost necessity of the day! Most human beings on mother earth confuse spirituality with religion! God Almighty can never be reached via path of bhakti yoga... path of rituals... path of religion!

For getting closer to God... for become one with God one needs traveling path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom)!

Why are the women always the ones "playing" victim? I have a "baby daddy" of whom NEVER pays child support on time, if ever.All he does is cry about how it's a recession. He has noone to take care of but himself. Never paid a doctor bill, dental bill, basketball, football, art or music class. I homeschool my 15 year old who starts college in the fall. I refuse to believe that I cannot "make" it without his help. puhlease! To each their own.

Hi there, you r?

tyrese: I call that 'person up'. There are so many responsibilities considered to be 'man's' or 'woman's' being done solo by both. 'Person Up' works. R.

Hey Tyrese: I see this all the time. Like the child is 'leverage' is an already tettering balance. What I dont like is ... however 'it' was made . . it cost to keep. Many males/females are behind in child support payments. Emotional and spiritual support isn't even a thought followed thru on. It's a thought lost, unconnected from the other half that created them. Not all are 'kept away from'. R.

Janet, want to get closer to god. Don't wait for some one to 'speak or talk' about matters that they should be paid for. God will handle those matters for those that can not handle them themselves. Everything is not settled in tabloids. And drop the 'show must go on' with God there is no show.. it's all REAL. R.
