Scala/Ammonite FAQ: How do I use ZIO 2 in the Ammonite REPL?

Solution

ZIO can be added into the Ammonite REPL as a managed dependency by using Ammonite’s import $ivy syntax:

Maharaji often said “Sub ek,” which is translated as, “All one,” or, “All is one.” Per my collection of Ram Dass books, he said this in other ways as well:

“Everywhere I look I see only Ram (God).”

“See no difference, see all the same.”

“You can’t realize God if you see differences.”

(There are many more instances, but that’s good enough for today.)

~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).
quoted in Miracle Of Love

“Stay in the ajna chakra (the point between the eyebrows, also known as the third eye) and think only of me.”

~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba), talking to Ram Dass,
quoted in Miracle Of Love

When some devotees questioned him about hatha yoga — a physical method of attaining union with God — Maharajji told them: “Hatha yoga is okay if you are strictly brahmacharya. Otherwise it is dangerous. It is the difficult way to raise kundalini. You can raise kundalini by devotion and by feeding people. Kundalini does not necessarily manifest as outer symptoms; it can be awakened quietly."

~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).
quoted in Miracle Of Love

If you are free of attachment, you will lead a simple life in a simple environment.

~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).
quoted in Miracle Of Love

Meditate to raise the kundalini. Think about God, it will go right up.

~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).
quoted in Miracle Of Love

“If your kundalini (spinal energy) awakens, you can go to America without a plane.”

~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).
quoted in Miracle Of Love

This temple and whatever is seen by the human eye are illusion ... Delusion makes everything look real.

 

What you meet in another being is the projection of your own level of evolution.

Attachment is what keeps you stuck in your limited reality.

If you don’t appreciate me, that’s YOUR problem.

If I need your love or approval, that’s MY problem. Then my needs are giving you power over me.

Thanks for that, Frank

This is a painting of a roadhouse in Wasilla, Alaska, circa 1957. It reminds me of living in Talkeetna. I found it on the “Last Frontier Magazine” Twitter page.

I watched Cloud Atlas over the last few nights. It’s a long but good movie, with six sub-stories that occur over a span of hundreds of years, where you get to see the ripple of good deeds over time. (Or at least that’s one interpretation of the movie.)

This book cover (nothing holy about it) has an interesting use of fonts and colors. I think I would have gone for a wee bit of transparency on the white font, and lined up the blue with the white, but it’s interesting, and essentially fits two subtitles on the cover.

As I mentioned yesterday, I had an MRI recently, and the doctors noted that there is a lack of blood flow to three “deep white matter” locations. I think the three white spots in the middle/top of this MRI image are what they’re referring to, but I don’t know for sure yet. What I have learned is that the “gray matter” is on the outside of the brain, and the white matter is on the inside.

I have no idea how it works, but every once in a while you’ll have dreams that come true. For example, a few years ago one of my nieces got married, and even though I didn’t go to the wedding, two nights before the wedding I had a dream of a photo that was taken, and what I saw in the dream was exactly the same as the photo, even though I have never been to the place where they were married or seen photos of the place.

(Actually there was a difference: On the far side of each row of people I saw some relatives who passed away many years ago. They were also dressed in suits and dresses.)

Then a few weeks ago I had a dream that Dr. Ruth passed away, so when I saw that she actually passed away on July 12, 2024, I asked my wife, “Didn’t you tell me that Dr. Ruth died a few weeks ago?” She said no, she didn’t say anything like that, and then I remembered that that happened in a dream.

This doesn’t happen very often, but I used to make a note of such things because I thought it was fascinating. These are just two that I can remember off the top of my head.

“Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.”
