From the link: “Few American authors would dare to imagine the publicity bonanza that the editors of the New York Times bestowed on Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich. During the weeks leading up to its publication in early May—and only days after Hillary announced her presidential candidacy—the Times published not one but two articles promoting and implicitly endorsing the book—which, as its title indicated, purported to expose the Clintons’ enrichment by foreign interests.

It was the kind of publicity that money literally could never buy.

On April 19, the paper led its politics section with a story by Amy Chozick that described Clinton Cash as “the most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle still in its infancy.” The author’s background as a Republican partisan and former speechwriter for George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, wrote Chozick, would be used by Clinton supporters to discredit him as yet another in a long line of biased critics—but that might be more difficult, she added, because Schweizer “writes mainly in the voice of a neutral journalist and meticulously documents his sources . . . while leaving little doubt about his view of the Clintons.”

Beyond that affirmation of his methods, Chozick reported that both the Times and the Washington Post—as well as Fox News Channel—had entered into “exclusive” deals with Schweizer to pursue “story lines” in his book. To anyone in the Clinton camp who remembered the Whitewater “scandal,” which began with investigative stories in the Times and the Post, this collaboration between the two leading print outposts of the “liberal media” and hostile Republican sources looked all too familiar.

Scores of readers noticed the incongruous arrangement in Chozick’s story and protested to Margaret Sullivan, the Times public editor. Sullivan posted a column four days later, expressing her distaste for the “exclusive” deal with Schweizer, while expressing complete faith in the paper’s editors to handle such material properly.

But that same day, Sullivan’s mild demurral was overshadowed as the Times presented the fruit of its collaboration with Schweizer on the front page of its print edition and in the top spot on its website—a 4,400-word story vaguely headlined “Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal,” by investigative reporters Jo Becker and Mike McIntire, which explored the disposition of uranium mining rights in Kazakhstan and the United States by a group of Canadian investors that had once included foundation donor Frank Giustra—and that left those strategic reserves in Russian hands.

Before joining the Times staff, Becker had shared a Pulitzer Prize at the Washington Post. She also had shared a byline on the January 2008 Times investigation of Giustra’s uranium deal in the Central Asian nation and his connections with Clinton. Whatever other motives might have inspired the paper’s deal with Schweizer seven years later, the Times editors leapt at a chance to revisit that story—which had provoked an embarrassing public correction in Forbes magazine.

The April 23 story revisited the first Times investigation in detail, even repeating one of its most easily checked errors: the claim that Giustra and Clinton had flown together on Giustra’s jet to Almaty, the Kazakh capital. (Actually, Clinton and his staff had arrived four days later on another friend’s plane.)

But the new story hinted at a more serious accusation: Through a complicated series of deals, Russia had gained control of a portion of U.S. uranium reserves through a Vancouver-based firm called Uranium One, while the Canadian investors who profited had given millions to the Clinton Foundation. The Russian acquisition of those American mines had been approved by the Clinton-led State Department, while those Canadian donations “flowed.”

The story noted that any such deal required the approval of “a number of United States government agencies.” It mentioned that some of the story’s information had been “unearthed” by Schweizer, “a former fellow at the right-leaning Hoover Institution and author of the forth- coming book Clinton Cash,” who had “provided a preview of material in the book to the Times,” which added its own extensive reporting.

“Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown,” the reporters acknowledged. But on the pages of the Times, even the suggestion that donations from Giustra or other investors influenced Hillary amplified Schweizer’s theme. They also reported that Bill Clinton had received $500,000 for a speech delivered in Moscow to a bank connected with Uranium One.

The story’s insinuation was bolstered by the reporters’ discovery that $2.3 million from the Uranium One investors had not been disclosed on the foundation’s website, but made public only in Canadian tax records. A Times editorial the same day complained about the “messiness” of Hillary’s connection with her husband’s foundation, and urged her to impose tighter restrictions on its fundraising.

The question that the Times failed to raise, let alone answer, is why anyone interested in the Russian uranium deal would have sought to influence the secretary of state—when her department had only one vote out of nine on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States that had to approve the deal.

While Clinton Cash attributed a “central role” to Hillary, she hadn’t participated at all in the Uranium One deliberations. According to the assistant secretary of state who represented her on the panel, “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter.” Knowledgeable observers of CFIUS believe its decisions are dominated by the Pentagon and the Treasury Department, which chairs the committee, not State. And the nine agencies on CFIUS had unanimously approved the sale of the remainder of Uranium One to the Russians in 2013, several months after Hillary had left the government. That sale also required additional approvals from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Canadian regulators.

In short, cultivating the Clintons would have guaranteed nothing for the Uranium One investors. They had given well over $2 million during a period of several years, but a foundation spokesman—and Giustra—insisted that Canadian and provincial tax laws forbade disclosure of their names without their specific consent.

As for Giustra, the Uranium One investors were his friends and former partners, and he was assuredly a very big Clinton donor. But he had divested all of his Uranium One stock almost three years before the Russian sale went through.

Yet somehow all those exculpatory details were ignored in the subsequent coverage on cable TV and talk radio, where Clinton’s opponents talked loosely of “bribery”—often during interviews with Schweizer, whose book debuted on May 24 as the number two Times nonfiction bestseller and stayed on the list for several weeks.”

Marcia Clark relives O.J. Simpson trial, sort of, in ‘The Fix’

The Repair | Monday, 10 p.m., ABC Marcia Clark is coming again to TV. Sarah Paulson isn’t taking part in her this time, as she did in the “The Folks v. O.J. Simpson.” Clark is an government producer on a brand new crime anthology collection, “The Repair.” The case bears greater than a passing resemblance to the trial that made Clark’s identify: the 1994-95 homicide trial of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. This time, the prime suspect is A-list British black actor Severin “Sevvy” Johnson (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and the lawyer is Maya Travis (Robin Tunney, “The Mentalist”), however the place is similar: LA, with its infinity swimming pools, homes overlooking canyons and storage lockers filled with sordid secrets and techniques. The case can be solved, Clark swears. She spoke to The Publish from her California dwelling. What was the impetus for creating this new collection?I began working with [executive producers] Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain on one other undertaking. When that didn’t go, we have been all unhappy. Then they known as and stated, “Hey, Marcia, we now have an thought: Prosecutor loses trial of century. She escapes LA for a brand new life. We’re considering horse farm. They usually deliver her again.” I stated, “OK, however she’s not me, proper?” They stated, “We’re going to make use of your origin story, however not the remainder. It will make for an incredible pilot.” How is Maya Travis totally different from Marcia Clark?She’s any person who went away to run a horse farm. She ran away, forgot in regards to the regulation and actually tried to vary her life. I didn’t do this. I stayed right here and wrote books. In that respect, I’m jealous. Did you see that horse farm? Maya doesn’t make the alternatives I made. She didn’t have children, wasn’t juggling child-care points in the course of the trial or the exes. That was liberating to put in writing. How do you’re employed along with your fellow government producers?We’re in the writers room collectively. They don’t have my authorized background. I ship on that. We have been decided from the start that this might not be a regulation present in regards to the regulation. I feel what’s intriguing is behind the scenes. How do the attorneys strategize to control public opinion? Each episode has a cliffhanger, however it’s as a lot private as it’s procedural. Did Adewale have any misgivings about taking part in a personality primarily based on O..J. Simpson?The reality is he’s not O.J. Simpson. I stated to him, “We intentionally didn’t make your character an athlete or American. He’s British. We’ll present that you just’re not him. You’ll see again and again that you just’re not him.” [embedded content] And right here’s what else to look at this week: Gray’s Anatomy | Thursday, eight p.m., ABC Maggie (Kelly McCreary) introduces temper rooms as a substitute method to medical therapy.

Republicans aim to confirm Kavanaugh this weekend; protesters arrested

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans gained confidence on Thursday that his U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh would win Senate confirmation after two wavering lawmakers responded positively to an FBI report on accusations of sexual misconduct against the judge.

The report, sent by the White House to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the middle of the night, was denounced by Democrats as a whitewash that was too narrow in scope and ignored critical witnesses.

Thousands of anti-Kavanaugh protesters rallied outside the Supreme Court and entered a Senate office building, holding signs such as “Believe Survivors” and “Kava-Nope.” Hundreds of demonstrators were arrested including actress Amy Schumer.

But Republicans moved forward with plans for a key procedural vote on Friday and a final vote on Saturday on confirming the conservative federal appeals judge for a lifetime job on the top U.S. court.

Comments by two crucial Republican senators – Jeff Flake and Susan Collins – indicated the FBI report, which was the latest twist in the pitched political battle over Kavanaugh, may have allayed their concerns about him. Flake, a frequent Trump critic, was instrumental in getting the president to order the FBI investigation last Friday.

Trump, himself accused by numerous women during the 2016 presidential race of sexual misconduct, wrote on Twitter that the FBI report showed that the allegations against Kavanaugh were “totally uncorroborated.”

Collins said the FBI investigation appeared to be thorough. Flake said he saw no additional corroborating information against Kavanaugh, although he was “still reading” it. Another undecided Republican, Senator Lisa Murkowski, did not offer her view on the FBI report.

Republicans control the Senate by a 51-49 margin. If all the Democrats oppose Kavanaugh, Trump cannot afford to lose the support of more than one Republican for his nominee, with Vice President Mike Pence casting a tiebreaking vote. No Republicans have said they will vote against Kavanaugh.

While the comments by Flake and Collins were positive, neither explicitly announced support for Kavanaugh.

A previously undecided Democratic Senator, Heidi Heitkamp, said she would vote against Kavanaugh, citing “concerns about his past conduct” and questions about his “temperament, honesty and impartiality” after his angry, defiant testimony a week ago to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Senator Joe Manchin, the only remaining undecided Democrat, said he would finish reading the report on Friday morning

Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein noted that the FBI did not interview Kavanaugh himself or Christine Blasey Ford, a university professor from California who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault in 1982.

“It smacks of a whitewash,” Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal told reporters, saying the report should not give political cover for Republicans to vote for Kavanaugh because “it is blatantly incomplete.”

Most Democrats opposed Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh from the outset. If confirmed, he would deepen conservative control of the court. The sharply partisan battle became an intense political drama when Ford and two other women emerged to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in the 1980s when he was in high school and college. Kavanaugh has denied the accusations.

The Kavanaugh fight has riveted Americans weeks before Nov. 6 elections in which Democrats are trying to take control of Congress from the Republicans.

Kavanaugh’s nomination has become a flashpoint in the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault. The nomination battle boiled down to a “he said, she said” conflict requiring senators to decide between diametrically opposed accounts offered by Kavanaugh and Ford.

Trump on Tuesday mocked Ford during a political rally in Mississippi.

On Thursday afternoon, retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens told a small gathering in Boca Raton, Florida that Kavanaugh should not be confirmed, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Stevens, an appointee of Republican President Gerald Ford who often sided with liberal justices on key rulings, told a group of retirees that he initially thought Kavanaugh was qualified, but that “his performance at the hearings ultimately changed my mind.”

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

The FBI report was not released to the public. Senators were allowed to read it behind closed doors in a secure location in the Capitol, without taking notes or making copies.

A senior Senate Republican aide said there was growing confidence that Collins, Flake and Manchin – all swing votes – would support Kavanaugh. If so, that could be enough for a Trump victory.

White House spokesman Raj Shah said the Trump administration was “fully confident” Kavanaugh had the necessary support.

“I feel pretty good about where we are,” added Senator John Thune, a member of Senate Republican leadership.

Some protesters, many dressed in black, crowded into the Hart Senate Office Building after rallying in front of the Supreme Court on a sunny, warm autumn day.

“I’m sick and tired of seeing women’s experiences not be given weight,” demonstrator Christine Zagrobelny, 29, a software engineer from New York City, said outside the Supreme Court.

Republican leaders sounded unmoved.

“When the noise fades, when the uncorroborated mud washes away, what’s left is the distinguished nominee who stands before us,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said after receiving a staff briefing on the report, “There’s nothing in it that we didn’t already know.”

“These uncorroborated accusations have been unequivocally and repeatedly rejected by Judge Kavanaugh, and neither the Judiciary Committee nor the FBI could locate any third parties who can attest to any of the allegations,” Grassley added.

White House spokesman Shah told CNN the FBI reached out to 10 people and “comprehensively interviewed” nine of them.

“The White House didn’t micromanage the FBI,” he said.

In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Ford’s lawyers noted that the agency declined to interview Ford or any of more than a dozen people they identified to provide relevant information, calling the five-day investigation “a stain on the process, on the FBI and on our American ideal of justice.”

Ford testified last week at a dramatic Judiciary Committee hearing that when she was 15, a drunken 17-year-old Kavanaugh pinned her down, tried to remove her clothing and covered her mouth after she screamed. Kavanaugh denied the allegation and painted himself as the victim of a “political hit.”

Attorneys for Deborah Ramirez, who has said Kavanaugh exposed himself to her when they were students at Yale University, wrote a separate letter to Wray expressing disappointment that FBI agents had not followed up on their interview with her by talking to more than 20 witnesses she identified as being able to corroborate her account.

CFP: A holiday from War? 'Resting' behind the lines during the First World War - Sorbonne Nouvelle, June 22 & 23, 2018

A Holiday from War? ‘Resting’ behind the lines during the First World War

Université Paris III – Sorbonne Nouvelle

June 22 & 23, 2018

Maison de la Recherche

Organised by Sarah Montin (EA PRISMES) et Clémentine Tholas-Disset (EA CREW)

Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Tim Kendall (University of Exeter)

His men threw the discus and the javelin, and practiced archery on the shore, and their horses, un-harnessed, munched idly on cress and parsley from the marsh, the covered chariots housed in their masters¹ huts. Longing for their warlike leader, his warriors roamed their camp, out of the fight. (lliad, Book II)

What do the soldiers do when they are not on the battlefield? The broadening of the definition of war experience in recent historiography has transformed our spatial and temporal understanding of the conflict, shifting the scope away from the front lines and the activities of combat. Beyond the battlefield and its traditional martial associations emerges another representation of the warrior and the soldier, along with another experience of the war.

Situated a few kilometres behind the front lines, the rear area is the space where soldiers rotated after several days burrowed at the front or in reserve lines, surfacing from the trenches to join rest stations, training installations, ammunition and food supply depots, hospitals, brothels, command headquarters or soldiers¹ shelters. In that space in-between which is neither the site of combat nor that of civilian life, the soldiers were less exposed to danger and followed a barracks routine enlivened by relaxing activities which aimed to restore morale. If some soldiers found there a form of rest far from the fury of the guns, others suffered from the encroaching discipline, the imposition of training orthe promiscuity with soldiers that were no longer brothers-in-arms in thas buffer zone where they spent 3/5ths of their time. Both a place of abandonment and a place of control, the rear area merges at times with the civilian world as it occupies farms and villages and hosts non-combatants such as doctors, nurses or volunteers. With battles being waged close by, the ³back of the front² (Paul Cazin) is a meeting place for soldiers of different armies and allied countries, as well as for officers and privates, soldiers and civilians, men and women, foreign troops and locals living in occupied zones. The rear area is not only a spatial concept but also a temporal one: it is a moment of reprieve, of passing forgetfulness and illusive freedom; a moment of ³liberated time² Thierry Hardier and Jean-François Jagielski) indicating a period of relative rest between combat and leave, a short-lived respite before returning to the front. If the combatant is entitled to repose and time to himself, military regulations demand that he never cease to be a soldier. As such we have to consider these moments of relaxation within the strict frame of military life at the front and the role played by civilian organizations such as the YMCA or the Salvation Army, who managed the shelters for soldiers on the Western Front.

Though seemingly incompatible with war experience, certain recreational activities specific to civilian life make their way to the rear area with the approval of military command. Moments of relaxation and leisure are encouraged in order to maintain or restore the soldier¹s physical and emotional well-being, thus sustaining the war effort. They also ensure that the soldier is not entirely cut off from ³normal² life and bring comfort to those who are not granted leave. Liberated time is not free time, just as periods without war are not periods of peace. These ³holidays from war² are not wholly synonymous with rest as the men are almost constantly occupied (review, training exercises, instruction) in order to fight idleness and ensure the soldiers stay fit for duty. The rear is thus also a place of heightened collective practises such as sports, hunting and fishing, walking, bathing, discussions, creation of trench journals, film projections, concert parties, theatre productions, religious services as well as individual activities such as reading, writing and artistic creation.

Between communion with the group and meditative isolation, experiences vary from one soldier to another, depending on social origins, level of education and rank, all of which take on a new meaning at the rear where the egalitarian spirit fostered during combat is often put to the test. Sociability differs in periods of fighting and periods of recovery, and is not always considered positively by the soldiers. However, despite the tensions induced by life at the rear, these ³holidays from war² and spells of idleness are often represented as idyllic ³pastoral moments² (Paul Fussell) in the visual and written productions of the combatants. The enchanted interlude sandwiched between two bouts of war becomes thus a literary and artistic trope, evoking, by contrast, a fleeting yet exhilarating return to life, innocence and harmony, a rediscovery of the pleasures of the body following its alienation and humiliation during combat.

In order to further our understanding of the historical, political and aesthetic concerns of life at the rear, long considered a parenthesis in the experience of war, this interdisciplinary conference will address, but will not be limited to, the following themes:

The ideological, medical and administrative construction of the notion of ‘rest’ in the First World War (as it applied to combatants but also auxiliary corps and personnel). Paramilitary, recreational and artistic activities at the rear; the organisation of activities in particular leisure and entertainment, the role of the army and independent contractors (civilian organisations, etc.) Sociability between soldiers (hierarchy, tensions, camaraderie); the rear area as meeting place with the other (between soldiers/auxiliary personnel, combatants, locals, men/women, foreign troops, etc.), site of passage, exploration, initiation or ³return to the norm² (³rest huts² built to offer a ³home away from home²), testimonies from inhabitants of the occupied zones Articulations and dissonances between community life and time to oneself, collective experience and individual experience The historic and artistic conceptualisation of the rear area, specific artistic and literary modes at the rear by contrast with writings at the front Staging life at the rear: scenes of country-life, idyllic representations of non-combat as farniente or hellscapes, bathing parties or penitentiary universes, the figure of the soldier as dilettante, flâneur and solitary rambler, in the productions (memoirs, accounts, correspondence, novels, poetry, visual arts, etc.) of combatants and non-combatants; Cultural, political and media (re)construction of the figure of the ³soldier at rest² (war photography, postcards, songs, etc.); representations of the male and female body at rest, constructions of a new model of masculinity (sexuality and sport), and their place in war production.

In order to foster dialogue between the Anglophone, Francophone and Germanophone areas of study, the conference will mainly focus on the Western Front. However proposals dealing with other fronts will be examined. Presentations will preferably be in English.

Please send a 250-word proposal and a short bio before November 20, 2017 to : [email protected] and [email protected] Notification of decision: December 15th 2017

Proposals will be reviewed by the Conference scientific committee: Jacub Kazecki (Bates College) Jennifer Kilgore-Caradec (Université de Caen) Catherine Lanone (Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle) Mark Meigs (Université Paris Diderot) Sarah Montin (Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle) John Mullen (Université de Rouen) Karen Randell (Nottingham Trent University) Serge Ricard (Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle) Clémentine Tholas-Disset (Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle)

BHAKTI AND THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK: How music and spirituality are connected by Love

Musical beginnings

When I was a boy, my idea of great music and literature was South Pacific and the other Broadway shows of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Later, as a college English major, I learned that these dramas were regarded as "sentimental." It was the late '60s by then, and I began to take in the new music and forget the old. I got into Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Donovan. Paul Simon, Ian and Sylvia (the Canadian duo) … a little bit of the Airplane, the Cream, Johnny Cash. Pete Townsend, since we had a common spiritual guide. Also, a couple of people you may not have heard of, Bob Brown and Jim Meyer, since they'd taken the rock/folk-rock idiom and turned it into exquisite devotional songs for that same spiritual guide, Meher Baba. I wrote a song myself now and then, too. Or rather, they started taking birth in my heart in some magical way and then flying out into the world. I guess that's the way creation happens a lot of the time, in all of the arts. In my early forties, I kind of ran out of gas, musically. There was just not much happening. I was living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina then, near the Meher Baba centre/retreat facility. I would go for evening walks with a friend named David, who had a piano in his apartment. After our walks, I'd go there sometimes and listen to him play.

The Great American Songbook

David was an aficionado of what has come to be known as the Great American Songbook, a vast collection of songs written between approximately 1920 and 1950, that are often called “pop standards.” Their composers are the icons of pre-rock American popular music: George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, and the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein of my childhood.

David and his wife, Louise, playing and singing at their wedding reception I had gotten past age 40 without knowing more than a smattering of these songs. They were OK, I thought. Some were really good. Meher Baba had even had Porter’s “Begin the Beguine” played at his tomb seven times before his body was interred in 1969, and said the song has "deep mystical significance.” If I happened to know the words to a song David was playing, I’d sing along. As our sessions continued, I got to know more and more of them. I also began to recognize them as treasures. Not only that, I began to see that they're spiritual treasures. One evening, David did a song called "Love Is Here to Stay" by the Gershwins. In that song, I heard something invoked that I recognized as cosmic Love: "In time, the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble / They're only made of clay / but our love is here to stay." Like every scripture, the song poetically addresses the impermanence of the material realm and the timelessness of the spiritual.

Billie Holiday was just one of the popular artists who recorded "The Very Thought of You." Often, the lyrics of these songs were, to my mind, like the poems of Mirabai or Rumi, which seekers at spiritual centres all over the world recite or sing. Take, for example, the well-known song, “The Very Thought of You,” which has been performed by numerous artists since its composition in 1932. Here’s the first verse: The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything. Now, take a look at the words of a poem by Mirabai, who worshipped Krishna in India in the 1500s. I am absorbed in His love; My misery of wandering In the world has ended. The lily bursts into bloom At the sight of the full moon; Seeing Him, my heart blossoms in joy.

Mirabai and Krishna Mira’s words are all the more extraordinary because the One she was in love with had lived not hundreds, but thousands of years before! The point here, though, is that both excerpts bespeak Love.

Understanding the same poetic symbols on different levels

The Great American Songbook was written, at least consciously, to celebrate that great American commodity of Tin Pan Alley, movies and TV: romantic love. However, poetic expression is a language of symbols. A symbol can be understood on different levels. In Sufi poetry, for example, the mention of Wine describes alcoholic refreshment to some readers and spiritual intoxication to others. So it is in these songs with the entire lexicon of love. At the Baba centre, I used to sing a '50's song called “Till,” one which moved me to tears again and again. What more exquisite words, I wondered, could anyone write, whether the beloved is human or Divine? Till the moon deserts the sky, Till all the seas run dry, Till then I'll worship you. Till the tropic sun grows cold, Till this young world grows old, My darling, I'll adore you. You are my reason to live. All I own, I would give Just to have you adore me. Till the rivers flow upstream, Till lovers cease to dream; Till then I'm yours, be mine. These things are known already by many in the West who are on devotional paths. What about Buddhists? Can you fall in love with the Clear White Light of the Void? What about atheists or agnostics? Orthodox Jews who worship the Impersonal God? I recall reading an interview with Ram Dass, a specialist in helping Westerners open their hearts. He was willing to work with anyone who claimed to be doing spiritual Sadhana. He’d observe the person as a soul, taking note of such things as an over-developed intellect or a fear of emotion. He'd encourage a person to say—to shout, actually—“I love you, Buddha!” or “I love You, God!” and be totally uninhibited in heart expression. Buddhism, of course, also involves the practice of devotional Meta, or Heart Prayers, such as “May all beings be happy, may all beings be peaceful, may all beings be free from suffering, may all beings be liberated.”

Stephen and Ondrea Levine's "Beloved"

The metaphysical leap in the understanding of the Great American Songbook's lyrics hinges on a recognition of a "Beloved" with a capital, rather than a lower case "B." Stephen and Ondrea Levine, known best for their work with the dying, came from a Buddhist tradition. In the 1990's, they published a book called Embracing the Beloved: Relationship as a Path of Awakening, in which they spoke of the value of using that upper case word. It was some time before the Levines “went public” with the term they’d been using privately for some time. Stephen wrote: We find the term "the Beloved" quite functional for many reasons including the obvious parallel between the heart’s affinity for such an idea and the draw of the personal toward the universal. And, of course, because it is our practice to meet our beloved as the Beloved. The Beloved is the One to whom, for a Bhakti, the songs of The Great American Songbook are addressed. Study them, sing them, dance to them and listen to them! There, you’ll find a veritable Gita of spiritual Treasure! Be it “Young at Heart,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face” or “Love Is Here to Stay,” I guarantee that you’ll find the stuff of Bhakti, as well as Wisdom! Here’s one last lyric for the road: Fools rush in Where angels fear to tread And so I come to you my love My heart above my head Though I see The danger there If there's a chance for me Then I don't care Fools rush in Where wise men never go But wise men never fall in love So how are they to know When we met I felt my life begin So open up your heart and let This fool rush in. «RELATED READ» MUSIC, MOOD, AND MINDFULNESS: How music works its magic on us» image 1 (Michael Feinstein): David Becker via Wikimedia Commons (Creative Commons BY-SA); image 2 (Pandit Udai Mazumdar): Nrityangana27 via Wikimedia Commons (Creative Commons BY-SA); image 3 (dancers): Washington Post Photo by Sarah L.
