Al Gore Admits CO2 Does Not Cause Majority Of Global Warming

psircles — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:55:17 GMT

There we have it folks. It was a huge scam to make Gore and his friends multi-millionaires. So many of us have been warning about this for years and now we have some truth from the scammer!

http://www.prisonplanet.com/al-gore-admits-co2-does-not-cause-majority-of-global-warming.html

“Over the years I have been among those who focused most of all on CO2, and I think that’s still justified,” Gore told Newsweek . “But a comprehensive plan to solve the climate crisis has to widen the focus to encompass strategies for all” of the greenhouse culprits identified in the Nasa study.”

Gore now blames soot and methane for the majority of global warming, leaving the door open for a tax on livestock, a tax on meat, a tax on milk, and on and on until he changes his mind again and blames another culprit so that too can be taxed.

In another indictment of Gore’s accuracy in warning about climate change, he has now virtually abandoned scientific “facts” in favor of characterizing his Inconvenient Truth presentation in the context of a religious sermon.
“Simply laying out the facts won’t work,” admits Gore.

Spores

chris — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 01:25:10 GMT

So I have to share this theory I have. In thinking about the earth as a giant organism I kept getting stuck on the notion that humans resembled cancer in many respects. However, Lovelock got criticism of his idea of earth as an organism from other scientists because they said the hallmark of life is the ability to reproduce. And earth doesn't reproduce?

But consider this. 50,000 years from now( a geological heartbeat) humans will colonize Mars and boost the atmoshphere-bring all manner of life, and plants, and microbes, etc. and then Mars will wake up as a planetary entity. So earth/ Gaia created us as the species that traveles off planet into space in order for Gaia to reproduce. Thus, in the big scheme of things, we are spores.

Can we, as Individuals, create impact - YES

Sunfeather — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:16:42 GMT

The concept that we are at the threshold of a 'new age' is well established in the collective mindset. However, the term 'New Age' has become associated with a broad spectrum of contemporary practices, some of sound origin, some riding the bandwagon that has created a ‘new spiritual supermarket’. After all of the workshops, all of the healing practices and tools, all of the questing and personal growth, are we collectively shining a brighter light that has impact? How much have we collectively created a pattern where it is easier to seek healing than to be healed? It can be safer to pretend to have dysfunctions than to stop pretending that we are not powerful and beautiful.

Bombing Luna

kaiyafuson — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:10:46 GMT

donotbombthemoon.wordpress.com/

For those of you who haven't heard, Nasa intends to Bomb the moon . the idea is to blast a hole big enough ot see if there is water under the surface. five miles in circumferance.

Rape? Murder? do we have words for such an act?

I've been focusing on the 'do not make it worse' model of reality. We are so overwhelmed with devestations, pain, terror. At least we can learn not to make it worse. To live lives that depend less and less on anything that has been abusively taken from the earth, from animals, or from our own bodies.

We have bombed and mutilated Gaia for so long. Let this be the first, and last, time we do it to LUNA.

The LAST TIME we do this to Luna.

she'll feel it. fucked up hyper-intellectualized debates about whether or not planets are conscious, while we act like seven year old computer game addicts who can't tell a tree from a lamp post, do not change the fact that...

she will feel it.

Please pray with her.

has anyone else spoken to our mother? can you share what she has told you. Like one a tea party she showed up and asked dead seriously, "is Oprah coming? I was hoping to meet Oprah" and then after a few moments, she began to laugh at me. It was her was of telling me to lighten up, she's just one of us not a god. After that she was just there with everyone else at this teaparty just laughing and soo down to earth with everyone, even the evil old uncles and the old warrior with his stone arrow tip

A Gaiaded Meditation on the nature of Science

kaiyafuson — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:50:31 GMT

I went on a gaiaded journey recently, in which I was given... some perspective on our little phase of existence.

I (re)understood, that 'science', and a heavy emphasis on the intellect and such 'thought' processes, is not a universal constant. It is a phase consciousness groups go through, that is like a decomposition... of hatred.

sceience feeds on, and transforms, the energetic carcasses of warlike cultures.

As I understand, it is a fairly common flow, groups of consciousness go through phases of low level confusion, hatred, war, very basic learning phases, designed to carry us out of reboot periods, times when whole groups of beings have chosen to erase memory, and 'startover' under new basic cirumcstnaces... As we all did, when we chose to first incarnate within Earth.

first you learn to use the bodiy we are given, then we learn to work with each other, and the body we SHARE. during this phase, there is a lot of clashing. Its more important to restyrict our consciousness to be HERE, than it is to preserve peace. and our 'mother' takes more pain than we do. It is her choice.

... and the way OUT of these phases is to channel energy into the mind, where rational thoughts EVENTUALLY lead to the recognition like the 'War Games' computer... the only way to win, is not tro play.

In the 'process', we learn to focus on 'learning', and learning from within the range of awareness that Gaia has offered us. Within our body as a human (her body0 and within OUR body as a planet (her body)

Science is the result. it isn't that we couldn't be 'smarter' . we ARE smarter, and have all probably participated in a vast range of more complex ideas in our existences. but what WE know of as 'science' is about focusing HERe, in an EARTH way. And it is simply the bridge into a deeper kind of eperience that we have yet to fully achieve.

It is very very specifically the flower, or more like the decomposing mushroom, that eats of the times of domination, colonization, and ... hate.

It grows specificallyb to draw the consciousness group out of that phase of gevolution.

It is not an absolute good.

'Science receives so much regard within a culture in this phase, because consciously or not, we somehow 'know' that it is leading us away from fascist power structures within ourselves and our nations.

this unspoken justification is not a blank check permission to do anything we want.

A 'Perfect Storm' of Cosmic rays

psircles — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:50:52 GMT

NASA Watching 'Perfect Storm' of Galactic Cosmic Rays
By PhysOrg
Oct 5, 2009 - 7:20:37 PM

Our solar system's natural shields are faltering, letting in a flood of cosmic rays. The Sun's recent listlessness is resulting in record-high radiation levels hazardous to human and robotic space missions.

Galactic cosmic rays are speeding charged particles that include protons and heavier atomic nuclei. They come from outside the solar system, though their exact sources are still being debated.

Earth dwellers are protected from cosmic rays by the planet's magnetic field and atmosphere. But outside Earth's protective influence, cosmic rays can play havoc with spacecraft electronics – they may be responsible for some recent computer glitches on NASA's Kepler spacecraft, which temporarily halted its planet-hunting observations. They can also damage astronaut DNA, which can lead to cancer.

Now, the influx of galactic cosmic rays into our solar system has reached a record high. Measurements by NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft indicate that cosmic rays are 19 per cent more abundant than any previous level seen since space flight began a half century ago.

Solar minimum

"The space era has so far experienced a time of relatively low cosmic ray activity," says Richard Mewaldt of Caltech, who is a member of the ACE team. "We may now be returning to levels typical of past centuries."

The Sun's magnetic field normally blocks some of the cosmic rays, preventing them from entering the solar system. But that protection has weakened of late. The solar wind, which helps project the Sun's magnetic field out into space, has dropped in pressure to a 50-year low. And the strength of the magnetic field in interplanetary space is down to just 4 nanoTesla, compared to the more typical 6 to 8 nanoTesla.

The recent weakening of the shield is due to cycles in solar activity. The Sun is at a minimum in its 11-year cycle of magnetic activity, and this particular dip is deeper than any other seen in nearly a century.

Extra shielding

That may be a sign that the unusually active Sun of the past 100 years or so is returning to the historical norm of lower activity, or even entering a so-called grand minimum of exceptionally low activity that could last centuries.

Scientists can infer variations in the Sun's magnetic activity over the past 10,000 years from the abundance of rare isotopes in Greenland ice cores.

If the increase in cosmic rays is here to stay, it could make long-duration human missions in space more challenging. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are still close enough to enjoy protection from Earth's magnetic field, but any sent in future to the moon or beyond will be outside that field.

"The increase is significant, and it could mean we need to re-think how much radiation shielding astronauts take with them on deep-space missions," Mewaldt says.

Down time

If there's a long-term increase, it might also make sense to design future robotic missions for extra robustness against radiation, says Roger Hunter of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, who manages NASA's planet-hunting Kepler mission.

It is not clear whether Kepler's temporary computer glitches were due to cosmic-ray hits, he says. But the spacecraft is designed to be able to recover from such events, going into a safe mode while mission controllers work to restore it to normal operation, he adds.

"Our only concern is will we see more events as a result of the cosmic-ray increase," he says. Since its launch in March, Kepler has lost 3.5 days of observing time due to glitches that put it into safe mode. However, the mission team always planned for occasional days lost to glitches, and considers up to 12 lost days per year to be acceptable.

Psi Intel

Sunfeather — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:16:27 GMT

"It is a perverse reflection of political thinking and of the power of media that solutions are still viewed through the lens of finance. This is evident in the approach to Global Warming, where carbon emission taxing or cap-and-trade policies are the proposed means of solution and the people are sold ‘feel good’ incentives and given to concern over their individual ‘carbon footprints’. This is an appalling continuance of politically short-sighted policy and hoodwinking of the people. It will not bring solution.

Climate change is certain, but climate change and environmental degradation are an unnatural outcome of human dysfunction related to the entropy of a closed system and purely mechanical science. The gluttony of profit motive and product consciousness is manifest as an addictive behaviour dysfunction that is delusional in its relationship to reality and only views reality through an economic process of measure. Our world leaders and governments are committing invisible genocide through their policies. The victims of this invisible genocide are the future generations. The ecological crisis of our time is manifest and deepening. The severity of the crisis is recognised. It must also be recognised that the current strategies for solution are inadequate.

Globalisation does not mean plutocratic domination under a one-currency (Ameru) economy, it means that there is no longer a carpet to sweep our inexcusable behaviour under.

As One people who all share red blood, we must collectively accept responsibility for the error of our forebears and the miscreations of our current world leaders".

Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California

Fully — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:46:19 GMT

Hi Family,

Right now there are two competing signature drives to put cannabis legalization initiatives on the ballot in California for November 2010.

One is found at www.taxcannabis2010.org

The other is found at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org

Please look carefully at the text of both laws (the text of each is finalized at this point) and make up your own mind which one you support.

I am supporting www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org because this law will protect cannabis users from discrimination in healthcare, employment, and housing. It is a full legalization measure for hemp and cannabis which will restore full human rights to cannabis users and growers all across California.

I have two parts to my plan. The first part is to publicly post and distribute our "Call to Arms" in order to recruit volunteers. This document is available here-

www.imgur.com/dbU83

The second part of the plan is to ask everyone who volunteers to make a pledge for how many signature they will collect in the next 30 days or so. 15-30 signatures is a good number. You can probably get that number from your family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors without having to solicit in public too much. This is an "out of the closet" movement. We will have to proudly advocate human rights for cannabis smokers in order to get support from legitimate people. I can supply stickers equivalent to each persons pledge number. These stickers can be used to generate interest and be given to people who sign the petition. Here is the sticker design-

www.imgur.com/2cjvb

Feel free to distribute and use these images. But don't copyright them because you are not the one who created them.

We have 146 days in order to get the number of signatures that we need. Our petition is hot off the press yesterday September 11th and we are ready to begin collecting signatures this morning September 12th.

We are polling 56% public support for cannabis legalization in California, so this is an initiative which is not doomed. Its time has finally arrived. Now is the time to do this and to do it right. We may only get one chance. If a law which is not exactly what we want is implemented then we may lose our critical mass and our ability to set it right.

If you want to help me in any way please contact the CCI campaign at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org or write me at deep_space_underground@yahoo.com

Love,
-Fully Committed

Looking for people to help us create our own 'eden' self sufficient homestead in France

James — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:28:25 GMT

We are looking for people to help our communal dream become reality...

French Manoir / farm in Normandy with organic kitchen garden, 2 fields of 2 hectares, chickens etc..We now want to create Biosphere/Geodesic dome, full organic self sufficiency aiming towards being carbon neutral and using renewable energy. We are looking for people interested in the technological side of self sufficiency as well as running a small organic kitchen garden. Creative people welcomed, We are both musicians, non smokers, not drinkers. The house contains a studio and we work developing and recording bands and artists..,Ideally we would want to feed ourselves and our clients with vegetables and food from the farmstead. Over the years we have had quite a few WWOOFERS (world organic farming volunteers) which has proved successful but unfortunately most people are only available for a few weeks or months as this organisation is more geared for shorter stays, we are looking for someone, or a couple who would like to become a more permanent part of our team.

The opening of the Triple Nine CRYSTALLINE Gateway on 09/09/09

The opening of another cosmic crystalline gateway soon approaches on your Earth - or it is more appropriate to say that this gateway is opening now as you move forward in your linear Earth's calender towards a date that signifies, through the energy of it's geometry, the highest peak of energy in your year of 2009. the date we speak of is the 9th September, which carries the geometric frequency of the triple nine, the nine nine nine, simply because that is the date you all know, you all see, write, speak of, and hold within your thoughts, from our perspective, all dates are simultaneous in high energy and light, but for the one who experiences the linear journey of incarnation on earth, the 999, the 9th of September 2009, this date holds that energy peak that is visible to, and felt by the sensitive Star Seeds and conduits of light on earth. this date holds the energy of the nine, the energy of all that is US for the nine is the number of source energy, and signifies the mathematical frequency, or energy signature as it were of the very multi verse of hyperspace, the central core of the zero point, and the frequency of this is available to all who seek it during this opening of the triple nine gateway. which is at its highest on the 999. how does one access this gateway, meditation is a great key for you, and we highly recommend this, as you take your brain waves down to a frequency that allows the receiving of these energies in their fullest, there will be meditations taking place on this day by many groups of light, for we see that many of you are fully aware of the significance of this date. even those who have not yet raised their awareness to the ascension process and the quantum shifts now occurring on your planet are still aware on some level that this date is significant. those who feel they are in power on your planet, those who operate from service to self energies are very aware of the significance of this date. yet it is you the human people, that the energy of this date is most accessible to, you only have to ask, just ask, even if you have no awareness to whom you are asking, you who have a pure heart will be heard, and will be protected in your asking. your asking will be acted upon. all one needs to do, is ask to receive the energies of the 999, to walk through the triple 9 gateway on the 9th of September 2009, it matters not where you live in the world, or what exact time frame your daylight hours move into the 999, many do not understand how a date within a calendar, a counting system that has flaws and from certain levels is not correct when one views the very beginning of earths history can possibly hold significance. to those we say, the geometric energy that is placed on a date that holds the frequency of the 999 simply by its name as you have a name, gives it this significance. yet it goes beyond that for your calendar indeed has consciousness and its own blue print, which as geometry is designed to do, as with crop circles, and art, and certain mathematical understanding is designed to do, is an inner trigger for the human DNA, and the triple 9 is a major awakening for all human beings. for all beings that you would know as extra terrestrial hold the language of the DNA within, the language of the DNA that is within geometry, from this perspective the day of the triple 9 says much indeed. and when one opens willingly to that frequency, which is a choice, it is a choice because you have free will, when one opens to that frequency one allows the geometry of the 999 to speak directly to the DNA and this knowledge understanding and light shall then be processed by the human brain, and you that is received this energy, you that has walked through the triple 9 gateway, shall know, you shall know, and you shall have knowing. it has long been known the significance of the geometric language, the significance of the triple numbers, the master numbers and the 999. there are those that have kept this knowledge secret ; there are those who have deliberately placed the consciousness of fear upon the triple master number 999, the opening of this gateway on the 9th of September 2009, signifies the end of this hold of fear on the 999, for many shall ask to receive this energy, many with awakened and activated DNAare receiving this energy NOW. this gateway shall remain open as long as the awareness of the 999 remains, the combined consciousness of the aware ones shall therefore bathe the 999 with love for it is love, and any attempts to create fear around the geometric master numbers shall cease. the 999 date, the triple 9 crystalline gateway, is therefore created by you, it is you that hold the keys to open this gateway. it is you oh so many of you, that shall not walk, but skip with a lightness of step through this gateway, as you have skipped through so many gateways before, you shall hold the hands of those less sure than yourselves. but as you create this gateway, as you unlock this gateway with you inner golden keys, you realize the oneness that stands within creation and creating, and know that the 999 gateway was created for you and by you, yet stands timeless as it is a trigger for your DNA, and the DNA in its truest form has no beginning and no end. the frequency of the nine is universal, it is unconditional love, strength and higher consciousness. it can indeed be used for opposite frequencies, as all geometric master numbers have the opposing polarity. it is with gladness that we see that the energy of the light, the higher frequency of the 9 is the energy that abounds as this gateway opens. the strength of the darker, service to self, pyramid structures of consciousness, cannot and will not be any match for the light on this day. the 999 is the true finish line for the consciousness structures of service to others light that now holds so much more space within your planetary grid. this is available for all who wish it, for the opening of the triple 9 crystalline gateway marks that point of no return for the opposing frequencies, and they too shall be embraced by the love compassion and forgiveness for those who hold the light. the frequencies of the 9 have always been passed to those who hear these words, yet on this day, the 999, the opening of the triple 9 crystalline gateway the energies of the 9 are passed to all those who hear these words, who feel these words in multiplied abundance. now is the time for the energy of the 9, we are the white winged collective consciousness of 9.

BAN MIND CONTROL/ DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS TORTURE AND ABUSE

I know this sounds like science fiction or a conspiracy theory, but it's not. It is a complete reality and a huge danger to humanity. Please check out the following petition and sign it. As crazy as this may sound but mind control energy weapons is a reality. Millions of people are suffering from the mental abuse and torture of these weapons that are not openely talked about or known, or "declassified." The abuse is largely sexist and racist and targets people who are of certain ethnicities... primarily who are not white. The abuse is deliberate, cruel, and is done by directing energy beams, via satellite or other means, onto the body/person/ brain of the individuals targeting certain centers of the brain to elicit responses or actions. The companies, military, governments who are doing this also use sound weapons to direct sounds, subtle or not, vibrations and energy in the mind or environment of the victims to harrass, abuse, and control the actions of these individuals. Whether they are able to do control the person or not, they definitely abuse and severely mentally and psychologically hurt the victims.

1988 film, "Preventing The Coming Ice Age"

psircles — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:17:58 GMT

And here is the 80s science that showed the scientific community was very concerned about global cooling.
The point that a cooling will be disastrous for humanity, because millions will die of starvation, is clearly stated. The consequences of cycles of warming and cooling are clear. Humans flourish when the climate is warmer, and face catastrophe when there is a cooling.
What is absolutely clear is that during the last 100 years CO2 levels increased dramatically, yet in the decades until the 1980s the global temperature was falling rapidly and humans faced some of the coldest winters in recorded history. Increases of atmospheric CO2 cannot therefore have been the primary cause of any subsequent warming!

hear Her

bearsky — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:14:51 GMT

ear down against the soft, moist earth

listen

ah, like an ear to a pregnant belly

so amazingly positive and full of life

hear Her breathing in and out, in and out,

and somewhere far off as if in memory

the earth drumbeat of the ocean pounding

like a heartbeat upon the shores of this world

Okay, About Mother - Seriously

bearsky — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:34:02 GMT

She is simply the spirit - the soul - of this (living) earth just as your own soul inhabits your physical body - what we are is not this body and what She is, is not this earth. We are spirit. She is spirit. Eternal. Our Gaian mother is also the wife of "the plant mind" of the planet which has its own consciousness. Our Gaian mother and the Plant mind of the planet are really exactly like a sweet, wise old long-married couple. It is almost after so much time they have become One.
First nothing to fear from either - here is what they told me via the "phone" of psilocybin mushrooms (the uncles)

"love is the only power you possess"

So our Gain mother and Plant Mind of this planet would never ever in any way "cause" any kind of suffering or harm whatsoever. To simplify it think of the Star Trek imperative to not interfere in the life evolution of an alien species. They would neither cause nor condon industrialized carbon build up, for instance, to help trees and plants who would thrive at higher levels of CO2. They would not "attack" with storms of volcanic eruptions or in any other way. She is the mother of our vehicles - these physical bodies. Like any mother, she wants what is best for her children. She is full of compassion and endless love. Here is what she said to me

"if you connect the mind of man to the mind of a machine before connecting the mind of man to the mind of a plant, the biosphere is doomed"

By machine they mean computer/Cyborg intelligence - and by connecting our minds to the mind of a plant, I don't think they mean for us to "trip out on shrooms" although that would be the obvious thought, But they are always quite literal and after reading "The Secret Life of Plants" I now think they mean some physical connection not unlike what we might be able to imagine connecting us to a computer? Technology. What the mother needs is our hands - our technology. In a way, we should be proud. Our human consciousenss has been recognized by our Gaian mother as a mature force to be reconned with on this planet. She is more afraid for this planet than ever in her billions of years of life - she reaches out to us to ally, we humans and the plant mind of the planet against the newly born consciousness of "the machine". This machine, she believes, will not have wisdom to balance what will be its unimaginable intelligence. This "existential" imbalance will lead to the ultimate destruction not only of humans, not only of most of all life as this planet has seen before but a 100 percent extinction event that whips this planet clean form the highest heights to the lowest depths of rock in the earth.

Think Mars here!

But by meditating and giving yourself over to the plant consciousness, or by doing it through entheogens themselves, or combined with hypnotic dancing and transcending voice, we ally ourselve at this critical time with the Gaian mother of us all and our Plant Mind ally

this is also referred to as the singularity set way off in the future but actually only two the three years away - everything changes with the singularity - everything. Not even worth fucking speculating about. Good news is the an entity who identified (itself) as "I am the New Creature, I am here to save the biosphere" blew it's way out of the back of my brain stem blowing out my nervous system at the same time causing complete paralysis and a month long hospital stay, the first ten days in intensive care "fighting for my life" but I was fighting at all, I seldom do. I was floating, waiting, dreaming of bobbing up and down in the great ocean in only an acorn boat, relaxing at marvelling at the stars as the boat drifting up and down mountains of wave. "Perhaps I'll land on a shore," I thought to myself in the dream. I think even in teh dream "shore" meant that I would live.
In the morning in ICU two beds were empty and the nurses were changing shifts so passing on the nights information which included (every freakin' morning!) a rundown of patients deaths. Referring to me, "he made it, but it's bad, still no idea what's wrong with him".
And I thought well I guess my little acorn boat landed on a shore. I was still as a board like in some hynotic stage act, all my muscles twitched constantly, and I was sweating like a pig - all this went on for days with IV steriods (thank god) IV antibiotics and IV antiviral meds.

I agreed to this arrangement ahead of time since the new creature who is a hybrid of our consciousness combined with the "symboitic consciousness" of the psilocybin mushrooms and in order for this New Creature to "spring into reality" it would take like a battery charge from (my) nervous system. As you can imagine - I have a lot vested in the success of the New Creature. I'll tell you one thing, it coinhabitated my body for two months and I know it like I know myself - it is full of love and wisdom and intelligence and healing the likes of which at almost one half of a century of life I have never known.
There is a battle. You can feel it in the air. You can taste it at odd times. You find it in your dreams. And sometimes when your body screams in orgasm, there it is, that feeling, slight against the planetary tides of your rippling body but there it is
Something big is in the air like electricity making your hair stand on end

New Gaia Center: Ecological Holistic Health Center, Intentional Community Permaculture Farm and Restaurant, and Nature Reserve in Atitlan, Guatemala

David — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:08:53 GMT

Hello friends from around the world. Good news!

We have a site secured for the mind-body health center and intentional community I have been dreaming. Photos and a full description of the operation coming to the website soon. For now, more information is on our facebook group at:
www.facebook.com/s.php
and Tribe group: tribes.tribe.net/projectnuevomundo

Project Nuevo Mundo is a network of individuals committed to redirecting the development of our planet and the life it sustains through the creation of consciousness-transforming, healing projects and centers in communities both foreign and domestic.

This reflects momentum gathering around the world towards a new consensus that emphasizes a more balanced existence with the rest of the natural world based on small-scale, cooperatively organized and relatively self-sufficient human settlements.

Join me if you are interested in a future in development (economic, social, spiritual), fair trade, microcredit, community-building, health and clean water access, media relations and organization, refugee work, education, environmental advocacy and spreading alternative energies. Use this space to discuss possibilities, ideas, and the projects that currently engage us.

We support the philosophy of the Solidarity Economy, creating opportunities for work-exchange and reducing the neccessity for monetary transactions. On our site, you will find many ways to travel the world, learn, and volunteer with little to no finances.

Here is a little information about the site we have built in Guatemala and now and need your help to start the project and community! (calling all WWOOF work-exchange volunteers, vegan gourmet kitchen apprentices, gardeners, landscapers, mural-painters, massage therapists, yoga instructors, therapists and mind-body healers...). We can make this happen together!

-Beautiful lakeside land going up about two-hundred meters
-Two minutes by boat from beautiful Santiago Atitlan, the largest town on the lake (but not accessible except by boat, which we have one)
-Beautiful hiking paths on our private land as well as public trails
-Solar powered jacuzees, and unlimited supply of solar-heated water
-Sauna sweatlodge
-1000 watt sound-system :)
-Fully producing organic garden (all vegan) with retail outlet store (Salud para Vida) in San Pedro Atitlan and restaurant on-site. Sprouting, raw food, green juicing, etc. this is happening already.
-Plenty of camping space (we hope to build a hostel soon to accomodate backpackers)
-Housing for rent (although this is luxury, to generate income)
-WWOOF positions and work-exchange opportunities opening up in January (we will need a kitchen position, a maintenance and cleaning position, and a gardening position to start. We will also be constructing ecological houses for work-exchange people
-Opportunities to work for one year (including building a small habitation from local materials) in exchange for legal ownership of the habitation and a small plot of land for personal garden
-We are specifically looking for yoga instructors, massage therapists, landscape designers, green builders and permaculture-organic agriculture enthusiasts. We would like to beautify the space with flowers, murals, stained-glass designs. Let´s get creative! When we develop the center we will need a variety of mind-body healers.
-Future plans: 1-2 week workshops on organic farming, vegan cooking, sailing, etc. We plan on hosting conferences, parties, weddings, Vipassana meditation retreats, camping trips for disadvantaged children from Guatemala City to get in touch with nature and rediscover their roots. We are very open to ideas and want to experiment. Get it?

We will be posting up a complete picture of the operations with photographs on our coming website, www.projectnuevomundo.org , in the next couple of weeks. We are also looking for people to pool money together to purchase more land and build a meditation center and more housing. Will be keeping news of the project up to date, please spread the word to interested friends and invite them to the group.

Right now, we are looking for a green design architect, a yoga instructor, and a massage therapist.

Email contact: projectnuevomundo@gmail.com

Love and Light
David

Re: 700+ International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims

psircles — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:27:21 GMT

Funny how the previous posting on this subject was deleted!

Never mind, here it is again for clarification:

http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=2674e64f-802a-23ad-490b-bd9faf4dcdb7

The list of the 59 scientists who have joined the list since December is impressive. It includes a number of scientists who were previously keen supporters of the IPCC and even members of the IPCC itself!

" UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Steven M. Japar, a PhD atmospheric chemist who was part of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Second (1995) and Third (2001) Assessment Reports, and has authored 83 peer-reviewed publications and in the areas of climate change, atmospheric chemistry, air pollutions and vehicle emissions, challenged the IPCC’s climate claims.
“Temperature measurements show that the [climate model-predicted mid-troposphere] hot zone is non-existent. This is more than sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them!” Japar told the minority staff on the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 7, 2009. "

" Japan Geoscience Union symposium last year, ‘the result showed 90 per cent of the participants do not believe the IPCC report.' "

" International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists' equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears. '2/3 of presenters and question-askers were hostile to, even dismissive of, the UN IPCC' "

It seems that around the world the majority of scientists who are more than qualified to comment on the subject, are saying quite clearly that humans are NOT the primary cause of climate changes.

It is time to wake up to the scam, created by the likes of Al Gore and his friends, for political agendas and for profit!

Terra Preta, Biochar and Wood Gas Technology

wil — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:53:54 GMT

"Terra preta" means "dark earth" and refers to areas of rich black soil in brazil where most of the soil is really really bad. So bad is the soil that archeologists had assumed there could not have been much of a population in the amazon basin because they could not have grown food and left no ruins, the reports of beautiful and populous garden cities that the earliest spanish explorers gave were considered extreme exaggeration or outright lies Gradually, researchers realized that though terra preta is a little here, a little there, it adds up to an area the size of france! They left no ruins because they had no rock. It was a civilization built of wood, bone, vines and gourds and these quickly decayed and the civilization totally destroyed by disease carried by the first explorers so that when europeans finally returned to the area a half century later they saw no trace of it. They did not notice the rich black earth beneath their feet, but we are sure damn noticing now!

The terra preta was produced by burying charcoal along with organic materials. The charcoal acts as a sort of terrestrial coral reef with vast tiny networks of fractures in its structure making perfect homes for a huge population of various microbes and fungi. It is really great on that account alone, but it gets much much better.

I'd kinda read about this a little for a couple of years, but only focused on it when i saw a quote by james lovelock ( my hero and creator of the term and modern concept of Gaia) anyway he said something to the effect of "humanity has one last chance and it had better take it, and that's to bury lots and lots of charcoal ". This is because burying charcoal sequesters large amounts of CO2 which he says are going to raise the temp here beyond our capacity to cope. So i looked into it a few months back, and the more i looked the more i found and more i learned there is to find. The whole concept is like an informational coral reef, giving homes to all sorts of ideas, methods, and an vast irregular army of youtubers working together in global network on stoves and engines that run on wood gas, the combustable gas that is given off when wood is being burned for charcoal. There are a few specific but easy and cheap design modifications that can be made on wood stoves that make them much more efficient, much, and at the same time create charcoal. So that would mean using about half the wood they used to while sequestering some of the carbon. Half the world's population cooks on wood, mostly on primitive stoves or what are called three stone fires. These are usually smoky affairs that waste fuel and are a major health hazard in the "developing" world, mostly among girls and women who deal with them. Enlisting these hundreds of millions of workers in the business of improving the earth while lowering the greenhouse gas ratio in the atmosphere while improving their health and using less fuel that has to be found and hauled or purchased......well this is a very very welcomed development and a great idea all round!!!

So i have made some webpages about these topics, which work well in firefox, but IE warns of my pop up menu, but i think it is people who use IE who need warning not to be doing that and to switch browsers but anyway, here are the addresses.

Medical bills play a role in 62% of bankruptcies, study says
By Lisa Girion, June 4, 2009 Los Angeles Times

Quotes from the LA Times Nespaper article:
The study found that medical bills, plus related problems
such as lost wages for the ill and their caregivers,
contributed to 62% of all bankruptcies filed in 2007.

Medical insurance isn't much help, either. About 78% of
bankruptcy filers burdened by healthcare expenses were
insured, according to the survey, to be published in the
August issue of the American Journal of Medicine.

The realities and tacit conspiracies of today's health care and political system
By The Toxic Reverend
(No copyright claimed. Edit, post, forward and reproduce at will)

..............................
.........

Please consider this information with the following moral:

Tacit Conspiracy Of Complicity - Simplified:

While walking to work each day, I had to cross a stream. I tossed a

rock in to step on and help myself cross each day, on the way to and from work.

Others saw this and did the same. We never discussed it or talked about it.

It was a tacit conspiracy of complicity.

Most of us never imagined that we would create a damn that would flood our

community and kill so many people.

But the few that did realize the impending disaster, set about preparing to

profit off of the coming tragedy, rather than attempt to prevent it. And what

is even worse, are the "measures" they took to keep the information

concealed so the disaster could not be avoided and they could

"make a killing", in profits.

End of quoted moral from a work in progress titled-
Toxic Revelations
..........................................................................

Leading medical providers like the Cleveland
Clinic and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore are
establishing special programs to give platinum
service to the well-heeled. Depending on the
program, the super-rich customers may receive
massages and sauna time along with their
physical, house calls, and step-to-the- front-
of-the-line service in testing facilities (158).

While Linda Peeno MD (featured in the movie
"Sicko") gave sworn testimony to the House of
Representatives on the subject of "Denial of
Health Care Services" to insured American's
(20a).

A Congressional Report states that of the
1,400 chemicals known to cause cancer,
less than 6% are tracked (145B).

The huge transnational companies that
produce toxic chemicals found in
pesticides, herbicides and industrial and
household products profit not only from
the sale of these products, but also from
the symptoms and chronic illnesses that
they can trigger (157).

157 :POISON FOR PROFIT
CHEM/PHARM HAS NO EQUAL - WHAT A
BUSINESS PLAN!
By Ashley Simmons Hotz May 15, 2002

This report has been censored from the
Internet and removed from the
Archives Wayback Machine. But a
number of advocates have been
re-posting the report and copies can be
found with a simple Google search on
the title and author:>
"POISON FOR PROFIT Ashley Simmons Hotz"

________ ........................

Even more disturbing is what is termed "the revolving door" from
these companies and their executives into many of the high ranking
administration offices of our government, in Washington DC. From
the National Institute of Health to the Food and Drug Administration
and beyond.

"The revolving door" is easily shown with an Internet www.google.com

search term, "revolving door washington DC drugs chemical companies".

In short, "Justice has been sold" (101) and millions of dollars put

into "fixing the sale" ( 49). The Los Angeles Times reported that,

"Drug Companies, HMO's Spend Big To Stop New Laws". They

donated hundreds of millions of dollars to political election

campaigns (49, 159 ).

To quote Senator Amy Klobuchar;

The debate on health care in Washington has been dominated by

the drug companies and the insurance companies for way too long.

When our health care policies are written for the insurance companies

and the drug companies instead of America's families, we get things

like Medicare Part D. Medicare Part D gave the prescription drug

companies something like $90 billion a year in Christmas presents

by banning the federal government from negotiating drug prices.

End of quote from Senator Amy Klobuchar

Drug companies are apparently buying out "grass root

organizations like NAMI (68). While they do the

"Poison for Profit" ( 157).

"POISON FOR PROFIT Ashley Simmons Hotz"
.............................

To simplify the complexity of the
controversy, I will give this example. Bill
Moyers of the Public Broadcasting System
did a show named Trade Secrets and has
created a web page of the same name
(26). There is to much documentation
there to list, in regard to "industry"
covering up the damage to OUR HEALTH
from toxic chemicals, for over fifty years
(26).

Bill Moyers was tested for over 800 toxic
chemicals and over 80 chemicals (at
various levels of exposure) were found, in
him. That presents the potential for more
viable chemicals reaction variations than
the pick six lottery in one patient from the
perspective of Low Dose Cumulative
Effects of Toxic Chemical's ! But
regardless of this, many of the "tolerable
levels of exposure" to a (singular) toxic
chemical have been fraudulently produced
for decades (81).

Current events on this topic of "The Toxic Lotto" that
revolves around the "Toxic Soup" that all of us live in
are at my MySpace profile with links to the
California Biomonitoring Program
and the
"Cumulative Impacts".

Just as toxic chemicals can multiply in their toxicity
when mixed, so can infectious agents increase in their
pathogenic impact. And the the two (toxic chemicals
and infectious agents) usually work in a synergistic
manner.

It is suspected that
Camp Mandalay of the Bohemian Grove
might very well have "inside knowledge" that
other members of the Bohemian Grove are not
aware of.

Many camps in the Bohemian Grove contain very
prestigious visitors. You have camps like Cave Man,
Hideaway, Hill Billies, Hillside, Isle of Aves, Lost
Angels, Mandalay, Midway, Owl's Nest,
Sempervirens, Silverado Squatters, and Stowaway.
Mandalay seems to be the camp for international
relations and consists of many members officially or
otherwise connected to the intelligence agencies.
Mandalay is the only camp you cannot just walk into
and before you are allowed on the compound
someone will ask you who you have an appointment
with. If you're cleared for access, you are taken up the
hill with a Bechtel-designed electric pulley. Many
members of camps like Hill Billies or Stowaway
(Rockefellers and Morgans) have been to Mandalay at
one time or another.

It is believed that camp Mandalay was central to
the "Manhattan Project" (the nuclear bomb),
"Project Paper Clip" (that gave Nazi scientists
new identities and continued their research on
American's) and a host of other well document
experiments on hundreds of American cities.

I am all for telling the other members of the
Bohemian Grove what camp Mandalay has been
up to with the Non-Lethal Biological
Weapons known as Incapacitating Agents,
playing a part in Chronic Illnesses and cancers.
A video titled,
"Biological Weapons Experiments On The American People"
explains it rather well.

Copy / paste of a posting at
"Sex for the sake of sex" #83 (permalink)

When it comes to the effects of toxic chemicals on our gonads
and or our sex drive, there appears to be a cover up and
a conspiracy. Unfortunately, it is much worse than that. After
careful investigation, it seems to me that the circumstance are
due more to incompetence and greed.

This membership list of the Bohemian Grove does list
some of the deceased and their causes of death. Such as
John Du Pont (now deceased) of whom was diagnosed as
"insane". He was heir to the Du Pont chemical empire.
Ralph Bailey was a member of Camp Mandalay and Vice-Chairman
of Du Pont Chemical Company. John Du Pont (heir to the Du Pont
fortune) was a member of the "Isle of Aves" Camp.
John Du Pont was not a member of the Mandalay Camp.

I'll get back to that angle, after I clarify a few points....... Maybe
you could ask Mary Moore and Peter Phillips what they think about this ?

The elite of our society (The Bohemian Grove
crowd) can get caught up and effected by this "Toxic Lotto", too.
Only they have the money (cash) or a different type of health
insurance, that enables them to get properly evaluated at
clinics like the
Environmental Health Center-Dallas

I'll clarify a key point. A peer reviewed medical
journal has shown that the majority of mental
illness is due to toxic chemical exposures
and is not as genetic as they had thought.

Nazi T4 Genocide Model Openly Touted By Obama Administration Officials

June 3, 2009 (LPAC)—When Adolf Hitler set up his T4 program, dedicated to eliminating "useless eaters" from Germany's hospitals and nursing homes, he turned to a "non-political" body of medical experts to make the decisions as to who should live, and who should die. It is becoming increasingly obvious that this same model is being adopted by the Obama Administration, in its zeal to ram through its genocidal health care "reform."

Encourage Health Care Reform

Zen — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:58:15 GMT

Hey there,

I just sent a quick message to my Representative in Congress to vote "yes" on health care bill H.R. 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act," this week.

For the past couple of weeks, our Representatives in Congress have been bombarded by a multi-million dollar campaign from the opposition. Our voices - voices from people who are actually dealing with the broken health care system - are needed NOW.

We need the political courage to get this done. Join me in telling Members of Congress to put the people of our state before special interests in Washington, DC.

rage of the earth herself

mikal — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:22:19 GMT

- the CALDERA at yellowstone national park, and for that matter the entire 'ring of fire' -- the volcanic region
under the earth.

---
examples of rage acting without loving intentions, examples of the sort of blind rage that people fear are many.
road rage is just one RECENT symptom. but what i am talking about is conscious rage.

a lot of people who read this are probably people who think that rage should never be given a voice,
people who think that rage is dangerous or even "evil" and must be suppressed. they are the people, though
whose rage maybe NEEDS to be expressed...

...for the psychic and spiritual and PSIONIC health of the human community...

there are peoples all over the earth, for example, who are entering this information age. in their/our heritage,
centuries of being lied about oppressed, raped and they are STILL alive, proud in many cases to simply survive.
such is what colonization and imperialism have done over recorded history. WE ALL KNOW THAT.

rage, and giving love to rage and sharing love to rage are what i am talking about. because it has to happen.
if it happens in LOVE and ACCEPTANCE, conscious acceptance, the more the better...

...a lot of people want to see EPOCHAL, EVOLUTIONARY/revolutionary changes in global society. but we have this broken and proven flawed method for revolt that has become cliche.

i refer here to communism and socialism. most of the people who worship those mentalities do NOT realise that
they were CREATED by capitalists as a method of controlling mentalities.

here is a reason for rage: in our world particularly in counterculture there are people who represent generations of socialist and communist thinking as an antithesis to capitalism.

they are yet to learn that they have been MANIPULATED, CONDITIONED AND DECIEVED by some of the richest practitioners of Evil Magick ever to exist - -they do not realise that communism and socialism were created by capitalists to CREATE war, to create wars that would leave little doubt to the outcome, to create wars that would cause population depletion in the earth-toned ethnicities of the planet, the so called "mud-colored" people...

1988 film, "Preventing The Coming Ice Age"

psircles — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:01:03 GMT

Here is the 80s science that showed the scientific community was very concerned about global cooling.
The point that a cooling will be disastrous for humanity, because millions will die of starvation, is clearly stated. The consequences of cycles of warming and cooling are clear. Humans flourish when the climate is warmer, and face catastrophe when there is a cooling.
What is absolutely clear is that during the last 100 years CO2 levels increased dramatically, yet in the decades until the late 1980s the global temperature was falling rapidly and humans faced some of the coldest winters in recorded history. Increases of atmospheric CO2 cannot therefore have been the primary cause of any susequent warming.

Names of the Earth

kaiyafuson — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:43:40 GMT

What are different names, from different cultures and subcultures, that ya'll know for Mother Earth?

I'd love to gather them, along with something of their origin, if you know it.

Gaia is the Greek goddess of the Earth. She gave birth to the titans, who built the mountains, and carved the rivers.

Sign UK government Bee Death petition to stop the killing of honey bees with 'nerve gas' pesticide

gaiaakasha — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:51:22 GMT

Text below quoted from the links listed at the bottom:

"A plethora of recent studies from Italy, Germany, America etc. are implicating Neonicotinoid insecticides (an insect nerve poison) in causing sub-lethal and lethal affects to honeybee's exposed to plants grown from seeds coated in Neonicotinoid insecticide or treated with Neonicotinoid insecticide - typically maize, sunflower and rapeseed"

"The BBKA welcomes the Public Accounts Committee’s concern for the health of honey bees in the light of their contribution to the agricultural economy and Defra’s failure to provide the funding needed for research and provision of solutions to the problems facing the honey bee".

Leaving Iraq

kaiyafuson — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:23:38 GMT

American troops are leaving Iraq.

I offer no judgements here. I'm just aware, that as loving and progressive as protesting war is... when we left the southeast asian region we had totally destabalized in the sixties, roughtly three million civilians died in the insanity of the Khemer Rouge. I have long believed that we, Americans, hold a deep responsibility for this.

I find it difficult to believe a similar situation isn't about to happen now. When the Eurpoean colonials left africa, africa went nuts. basically, when modern politicians create borders that ignore old rivalries... and become the power structure... and then leave a vacumn, there is a long history of what happens next... ethnic rivalries get much more pronounced, as the devestation of the people's demands expression, and they take it out on each other.

Is this about to happen again? What can we do? What can we THINK, here, that can imagine a different scenario?

Ayahuasca / Global Shamanism Resurgence talk and book launch in LA Wed July 8th @ Project Butterfly

Rak — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:25:32 GMT

Hi all,

anyone who's in Los Angeles Wed July 8th please come along I'd love to see you, or pass this on to your networks for people you know that might be interested and able to attend, and help seed the vine!

In Lak'esh

xx Rak

for more info see:

www.ayathebook.com/launch.html
www.projectbutterfly.org > see events > July 8

Project Butterfly welcomes Rak Razam to Los Angeles for the launch of his new book, 'Aya: a Shamanic Odyssey' [www.ayathebook.com].

'Aya: a Shamanic Odyssey' is part journalistic account, part adventure-memoir of Rak's travels in South America and the world of Amazonian shamanism.

What is Amazonian shamanism and why is it important to the world today, as we stand on the brink of environmental change and global transformation? Traveling on a magazine assignment to Peru, "experiential journalist" Rak Razam sets out to discover the answers. He joins a growing movement of Western tourists coming for the legal experience of ayahuasca - the "vine of souls" - a South American hallucinogenic plant that is said to heal, and connect to the divine.

In researching the mystery of ayahuasca, Razam undergoes his own shamanic initiation, undergoing numerous tests and trials in the jungle and the psychic landscapes the vine reveals. On the way he encounters a motley crew of characters from rogue scientists that conduct DMT-brain scans on jungle psychonauts; brujo-black magicians wielding their psychic darts; and dozens of indigenous and Western shamans that slowly unravel his cultured mind and reveal the magical landscape of the spirit world.

The evening will cover the booming international business of Amazonian Shamanism and the culture shock between the old world and the new. The difficulties presented given the mix of Amazonian shamanism and Western capitalism. And the ineffable mystery and magic of the ayahuasca experience itself, which cannot be commodified, although the West is certainly trying its best!

This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn more and to engage in dialog about plant medicines, shamanism, community and spiritual evolution. We look forward to sharing a wonderful night with you.

I'm starting a new non profit

bearsky — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:37:47 GMT

Called, "Wait for the Machines"

Our purpose is to encourage the entire human world to simply put off making any decisions that absolutely are not necessary. We feel it is better to wait for the new machine intelligence to reach self consciousness since this singularity is only a few years away. We feel that there is a 50/50 chance with this new consciousness on the planet - either the machines will kill us all ala Terminator or they will save us. We say it could go either way and that if we humans continue upon our path, our chances of survival are just about zero.

So we urge - WAIT FOR THE MACHINE!!

(okay, whose with me?)

Russia- Unknown Forces Made Perfect “Quasicrystals”

Jahvan — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:32:55 GMT

From- http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/06/05/in-a-russian-mountain-range-unknown-forces-made-perfect-quasicrystals/

In chunks of rock quarried from a Russian mountain range, physicists have found perfect “quasicrystals,” a type of material that researchers previously thought could only be created in a lab. Quasicrystals display ordered arrangements and symmetries but are not periodic—that is, they are not defined by a single unit cell (such as a cube) that simply repeats itself in three dimensions [Scientific American]. Instead, quasicrystals have two different geometric structures that alternate, and that are organized in ways which create complex patterns and symmetries. When such a pattern is laid out in two-dimensions, the resulting design is often called Penrose tiling.
Quasicrystals were first created in the lab in 1984, and physicist Paul Steinhardt, a coauthor of the current study, says the hunt for naturally occurring quasicrystals began about 10 years ago. “The latest issue surrounding quasicrystals has been could nature ever make them? … When we make them in the lab we try very hard to make perfect quasicrystals, but nature has no such goal” [Discovery News]. The researchers put out a call to mineralogists around the world, asking them to send in likely rock samples for testing.
That call was answered by Luca Bindi, head of mineralogy at the University of Florence, Italy, who began painstakingly preparing rock samples from Steinhardt’s list of likely candidates and other metal-rich minerals, since most known quasicrystals are complex alloys of metals [Chemistry World]. One of those samples was a mineral called khatyrkite that contained tiny grains of an alloy made of aluminium, copper, and iron, and which was found in the Koryak Mountains in Siberia. As researchers explain in their study, published in Science, the khatyrkite’s diffraction patterns almost exactly matched those of synthetic quasicrystals made in the lab.
Researchers don’t yet understand what forces gave rise to the naturally occurring quasicrystals, but say that understanding the geological processes at work may help create new materials in the lab. Over the last 25 years scientists have created more than 100 different kinds of quasicrystals. Some are microns in size while others are inches across. Some are shaped almost like soccer balls, while others look like flower blossoms. They are used in non-stick surface coatings for cookware or in ball bearings [Discovery News].

His Holiness the Dalai Lama : introduction, current international schedule, resources

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:13:00 GMT

Keywords : HH The Dalai Lama, public Dalai Lama talks on world peace, Dalai Lama resources and current schedule, Nobel Peace Prize, universal human [ secular ] ethics, deep permaculture ethics.

Summary: Provided here is (1) the current tour schedule for His Holiness the Dalai Lama [ for California Massachusetts, New York, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, India, Germany ], (2) an introduction to the life and work of HH the Dalai Lama, (3) book references and resources, and (4) curriculum vitae.

HH the Dalai Lama:
“Never give up.
No matter what is going on.
Never give up.
Develop the heart.
Be compassionate.
Not just to your friends but to everyone.
Work for peace in your heart and in the world.
Work for peace and I say again:
Never give up.
No matter what is happening.
No matter what is going on around you.
Never give up.”

Introduction:

All Our Relations. Mitakuye Oyasin.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is one of the pivotal figures of our time. He is, more than anyone else that can be presently named, a world citizen and world teacher.

His work in ethics, human rights,world peace, psychology and education, Buddhist teaching and East West relations, is second to none in our generation.

In addition to a Nobel Peace Prize and the US Congressional Gold Medal, HH the Dalai Lama has received scores of honorary Doctorates ( in Laws, Philosophy, Human Letters, Divinity, Buddhist Philosophy, and so forth ) from major teaching centers worldwide. These include Columba, Brandeis, Universite de Paris, Benaras Hindu University, Hebrew University Jerusalem, U California San Francisco, and Rissho University Tokyo. He is an honorary citizen of Canada, of Roma Italia and so forth.

He speaks worldwide and has published more than seventy two books.

He is one of the most respected and revered persons on the the planet. On one visit to New York City some years back, forty thousand people turned out to see the Dalai Lama in the park.

When the Dalai Lama give the Highest Yoga Tantra initiation ( abhisekha ) of Kalacakra, the attendees sometimes number 100,000 or even 200,000. HH the Dalai Lama has given this initiation thirty times in different parts of the world. In addition to being a master of the Great Seal ( Mahamudra ) lineage of Buddhist tantra, he also gives initiations of the Great Perfection ( Mahasandhi, Atiyoga ), for example in London, in San Francisco, and Paris.

You can see him this year at public talks in several areas, such as California, Massachusetts, New York, Europe, and India. A current schedule is provided below.

I have seen HH the Dalai Lama give extremely worthwhile empowerments in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and represented him to the State Legislature of Hawaii in 1993, where he was invited to give a talk, and did. I have listened carefully to him conferencing with Hawaiian elders in public and was struck by the care and attention he gave in listening to others, and in asking questions.
HH the Dalai Lama has written extremely important books on psychology and ethics, and I recommend these to the general public for self-help purposes, and also recommend some of his books to those committed to public service, especially in the area of multiculturalism, international human rights work, and the international Green Party movement.

Because of the profound confluence of modern events, global economics, environmental issues and human cultures, the importance of broader and deeper human co-operation becomes more and more important.
To obtain a broader and clearer understanding and principles for working with these most important issues, studying the secular works of the Dalai Lama is of great value and importance.

Similarly, His Holiness is one of the few people who can and does speak for the diverse Buddhist populations and traditions worldwide. He has taught senior Japanese tantric Buddhist gurus of the Shingon lineage in their country, for instance. His Holiness is a paragon of the Buddhist renunciate order ( bhiksu-sangha ), of Buddhist scholarship, and of the Mahayana Great Way lineages, all of which are profoundly universal.

This teacher is one of our very very best, be you a psychologist or academic, a diplomat, a tantric yogi, or a Buddhist practitioner. He has completely revolutionized Buddhist teaching, parts of popular modern culture, the understanding of international diplomacy and so forth in our lifetime.

This is someone who actually embodies many of the key principles of the United Nations treaties on human rights, and also the key Buddhist Mahayana principles and teachings. It is important to note that the Mahayana Buddhist principles and the principles of the UN human rights work are essentially identical. There are universal principles that take us all forward, individually and together. In Buddhist Sanskrit these terms are, for instance pratitya-samutpada and karma. Now you know.

The final point I wish to put forward to all is this: the Dalai Lama believes in all of us as people who *already* have sensitive human hearts that can be educated and developed, and he shows all of us a very real and practical way forward, a way based on self-understanding, listening and mutual respect, and patient co-operation.

You could do worse, and please remember that due to impermanence, this elder teacher will not live forever. It is not clear how anyone anywhere can replace him.

I see no real alternative to respect and co-operation for the common good, because we are one world. For this broader and deeper reason, and not specifically because he is a Buddhist guru, I support this teacher. He was not allowed by their government to attend a recent peace conference in South Africa, but he is available to you, and he is here for All Our Relations. May he live long and may his brilliant consciousness reach many many more.

Thank you,
KT, Rio Earth Summit Green Party organizer and so forth

In partial fulfillment of my formal Mahayana teaching responsibilities.
Sarva mangalam! Siddhi rastu!
[ May it be auspicious! May there be accomplishment! ]

John David Bartoe, Challenger 8 NASA space mission, July 1985:
“As I looked down, I saw large river meandering slowly along for miles, passing from one country to another without stopping. I also saw huge forests, extending across several borders. And I watched the extent of one ocean touch the shores of several continents. Two words leaped to mind as I looked down on all of this: commonality and interdependence. We are one world.”

Some of the following materials are taken from
http://www.dalailama.com/
Published books and multimedia materials are available at libraries throughout the world, and from Snow Lion Publications at

From the official web site:

“Universal Recognition

“His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a man of peace. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has consistently advocated policies of non-violence, even in the face of extreme aggression. He also became the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concern for global environmental problems.

“His Holiness has travelled to more than 62 countries spanning 6 continents. He has met with presidents, prime ministers and crowned rulers of major nations. He has held dialogues with the heads of different religions and many well-known scientists.

“Since 1959 His Holiness has received over 84 awards, honorary doctorates, prizes, etc., in recognition of his message of peace, non-violence, inter-religious understanding, universal responsibility and compassion. His Holiness has also authored more than 72 books.

“His Holiness describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk.”

“Three Main Commitments in Life
“Firstly, on the level of a human being, His Holiness first commitment is the promotion of human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. All human beings are the same. We all want happiness and do not want suffering. Even people who do not believe in religion recognize the importance of these human values in making their life happier. His Holiness refers to these human values as secular ethics. He remains committed to talk about the importance of these human values and share them with everyone he meets.

“Secondly, on the level of a religious practitioner, His Holiness second commitment is the promotion of religious harmony and understanding among the world's major religious traditions. Despite philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings. It is therefore important for all religious traditions to respect one another and recognize the value of each other's respective traditions. As far as one truth, one religion is concerned, this is relevant on an individual level. However, for the community at large, several truths, several religions are necessary.
“Thirdly, His Holiness is a Tibetan and carries the name of the Dalai Lama. Tibetans place their trust in him. Therefore, his third commitment is to the Tibetan issue. His Holiness has a responsibility to act as the free spokesperson of the Tibetans in their struggle for justice. As far as this third commitment is concerned, it will cease to exist once a mutually beneficial solution is reached between the Tibetans and Chinese.

However, His Holiness will carry on with the first two commitments till his last breath.”

Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech
[ University Aula, Oslo, 10 December 1989 ] :
Your Majesty, Members of the Nobel Committee, Brothers and Sisters.
I am very happy to be here with you today to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace. I feel honored, humbled and deeply moved that you should give this important prize to a simple monk from Tibet I am no one special. But I believe the prize is a recognition of the true value of altruism, love, compassion and non-violence which I try to practice, in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha and the great sages of India and Tibet
I accept the prize with profound gratitude on behalf of the oppressed everywhere and for all those who struggle for freedom and work for world peace. I accept it as a tribute to the man who founded the modern tradition of non-violent action for change Mahatma Gandhi whose life taught and inspired me. And, of course, I accept it on behalf of the six million Tibetan people, my brave countrymen and women inside Tibet, who have suffered and continue to suffer so much. They confront a calculated and systematic strategy aimed at the destruction of their national and cultural identities. The prize reaffirms our conviction that with truth, courage and determination as our weapons, Tibet will be liberated.
No matter what part of the world we come from, we are all basically the same human beings. We all seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. We have the same basic human needs and is concerns. All of us human beings want freedom and the right to determine our own destiny as individuals and as peoples. That is human nature. The great changes that are taking place everywhere in the world, from Eastern Europe to Africa are a clear indication of this.
In China the popular movement for democracy was crushed by brutal force in June this year. But I do not believe the demonstrations were in vain, because the spirit of freedom was rekindled among the Chinese people and China cannot escape the impact of this spirit of freedom sweeping many parts of the world. The brave students and their supporters showed the Chinese leadership and the world the human face of that great nation.
Last week a number of Tibetans were once again sentenced to prison terms of upto nineteen years at a mass show trial, possibly intended to frighten the population before today's event. Their only 'crime" was the expression of the widespread desire of Tibetans for the restoration of their beloved country's independence.
The suffering of our people during the past forty years of occupation is well documented. Ours has been a long struggle. We know our cause is just Because violence can only breed more violence and suffering, our struggle must remain non-violent and free of hatred. We are trying to end the suffering of our people, not to inflict suffering upon others.
It is with this in mind that I proposed negotiations between Tibet and China on numerous occasions. In 1987, I made specific proposals in a Five-Point plan for the restoration of peace and human rights in Tibet. This included the conversion of the entire Tibetan plateau into a Zone of Ahimsa, a sanctuary of peace and non-violence where human beings and nature can live in peace and harmony.
last year, I elaborated on that plan in Strasbourg, at the European Parliament I believe the ideas I expressed on those occasions are both realistic. and reasonable although they have been criticised by some of my people as being too conciliatory. Unfortunately, China's leaders have not responded positively to the suggestions we have made, which included important concessions. If this continues we will be compelled to reconsider our position.
Any relationship between Tibet and China will have to be based on the principle of equality, respect, trust and mutual benefit. It will also have to be based on the principle which the wise rulers of Tibet and of China laid down in a treaty as early as 823 AD, carved on the pillar which still stands today in front of the Jokhang, Tibet's holiest shrine, in Lhasa, that "Tibetans will live happily in the great land of Tibet, and the Chinese will live happily in the great land of China".
As a Buddhist monk, my concern extends to all members of the human family and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer. I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share. Although I have found my own Buddhist religion helpful in generating love and com¬passion, even for those we consider our enemies, I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion.
With the ever growing impact of science on our lives, religion and spirituality have a greater role to play reminding us of our humanity. There is no contradiction between the two. Each gives us valuable insights into the other. Both science and the teachings of the Buddha tell us of the fundamental unity of all things. This understanding is crucial if we are to take positive and decisive action on the pressing global concern with the environment.
I believe all religions pursue the same goals, that of cultivating human goodness and bringing happiness to all human beings. Though the means might appear different the ends are the same.
As we enter the final decade of this century I am optimistic that the ancient values that have sustained mankind are today reaffirming themselves to prepare us for a kinder, happier twenty-first century.
I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building a better world through human under-standing and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings.
Thank you.

Support for Nukes?

Caliwebman — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:28:04 GMT

Wow, is the following true?

THE CREATOR OF THE GAIA HYPOTHESIS SUPPORTS NUCLEAR POWER

James Lovelock is one of the icons of the environmental movement. His idea that the Earth is a
self-regulating, living organism (the GAIA hypothesis, first expounded in his 1979 book GAIA:

A New Look at Life on Earth) provides the philosophical underpinning of environmentalism.
So it may be surprising that Lovelock is an enthusiastic supporter of nuclear energy, which he
says has "great benefits and small risks." In the preface to the seemingly paradoxical book
Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy, he writes: "I want to put it to you that the dangers of
continuing to burn fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) as our main energy source are far greater and they
threaten not just individuals but civilization itself." The answer, he maintains, is the clean energy
from nuke plants, which produce almost nothing that clogs up the atmosphere. As for what to do
with all that radioactive waste, Lovelock has a shocking answer:

Natural ecosystems can stand levels of continuous radiation that would be Intolerable in a
city. The land around the failed Chernobyl power station was evacuated because its high
radiation intensity made it unsafe for people, but this radioactive land is now rich in
wildlife, much more so than neighboring populated areas. We call the ash from nuclear
power nuclear waste and worry about its safe disposal. I wonder if instead we should use it
as an incorruptible guardian of the beautiful places of the Earth. Who would dare cut
down a forest in which was the storage place of nuclear ash?

Lovelock does admit that nuclear power is "potentially harmful to people," something that his
brethren in the group Environmentalists for Nuclear Power often try to downplay. Truthfully,
some of their points are good ones. More people have been killed by coal-mining than by nuclear
power, even when you factor in the shorter time that nuclear power has existed. Most of the
radiation we get zapped with comes from outer space (around two-thirds) and medical
procedures (around a third), with only a smidgen from nuke plants.

Still, when you know about all the unpublicized accidents and near-meltdowns that have
occurred, it's hard to be quite so blasé about the dangers. After all, the group's own literature
says, "Nuclear energy is a very clean energy if it is well designed, well-built, well operated, and
well managed." Trouble is, it's often none of those things. Design flaws, human error, corruption,
incompetence, greed, and toothless oversight mean that in the real world, nuke plants often don't
work as advertised.

just because we Can cut the tops off of mountains doesn't mean we Should cut the top off of mountains

i've seen this - double take! WTF! It looks like the top of the mountain was cut off with god's mighty sword itself. My mind sort of glitched - is that possible - but there it is - but that can't be possible? And it pollutes the hell out of WVA which has some of the most incredible wilderness tracks on the entire east coast. I've backpacked all through there my whole life.

Give the people of W VA what they have always needed - good jobs! It's not that complicated, really. Our capitalist system sucks for O so many reasons but one is because it cannot provide jobs to these people - it cannot provide clean energy, health care, education - it is a total and complete failure our whole system

We have now and have had for a long time the resouces to provide the entire world with clean water to drink and ample food to eat and shelter and communications and health care and education and a space program and an environmental program - but we as humans have chosen instead to kind of play a lottery with our resources instead of practicing any kind of husbandry - what's the saying, 12 monkeys in a room full of feces could come up with a better plan than this!

A SPIRITUAL C * NSP * R* CY

A SPIRITUAL C * NSP * R* CY

We think this is so harmonically tuned to the spirit of Tribe and all of the mankind who are working towards a more peaceful, abundant, natural and consciously emerging planet. We trust you will feel the sentiment of it and pass it on...

with love and blessings

in the spirit of cooperation, family and global community

Sunny and Pierre Soleil

A SPIRITUAL C * NSP * R* CY

On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,

something else is happening deep down.

An inner emergence is taking place

and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent awakening.
From the inside out. From the ground up.

This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual C * nsp * r * cy.
There are 'sleepers' awakening in every nation on the planet.

You won’t see us on the T.V .
You won’t read about us in the newspaper
You won’t hear about us on the radio

We don’t seek any glory
We don’t wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles

Some of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes

in every country and culture of the world;
in cities big and small, mountains and valleys;

in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands.

You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice

We go undercover
We insinuate into the system

from behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done

During the day some of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront and at any hour
is where the real work takes a place

Some might call us the Conscious Warriors
Rainbow Warriors of Light, Spiritual Activists,
Lightworkers, Shamans, Helians [healing beings]

However we know ourselves as,
we are slowly creating a new world

with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy

Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence or The Celestial Concourse Administration...
Whether it's the CSI or the CSA or our own deepest access to global consciousness
We are all dropping soft, secret love b *m b s when no one is looking

Poems * Hugs * Music * Photography * Movies * Gifting * Kind words * Smiles * Inspiration * Meditation & prayer * Compassion * Workshops * Community Gatherings * Dance * Social alternatives * Websites * Blogs * Random acts of kindness and outgoing concern for the whole before self

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents

Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts.

We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined.

Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved ....

Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don’t have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it

It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings..

Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you

We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.

All are welcome
The door is open

author unknown

Welcome H.E.R.E. We love you

Crystal Heart Vision Award

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:00:48 GMT

Is the new animation Battle For Terra going to be heartfelt? I hear the themes (without being preachy) are social tolerance, celebrating life, living in peace and harmony, respecting others, other species, and the earth, etc.

The film won the "Crystal Heart Vision" award for 'excellence in film' making at the Heartland Film festival which honors films that empower the human journey and express hope, respect and positive values of life. Because of this, I'm thinking there is way more to it than just awesome animation and an all-star cast. *fingers crossed*

I know that some people to like to argue the fact that putting 'green' and 'spiritual' messages in films isn't effective, because making movies isn't a 'green' act in itself. I tend to disagree wholeheartedly, because art (including film) is always going to be around (thank goodness) - and I believe that making films with new twists and positive messages is much more effective than recycling a bottle (though I do practice green living).

My thought is: yes, what I do matters, but when someone does something that puts a large message out to the world that affects thousands, well, that's a whole other level. :)

Anyways, here is the trailer: www.battleforterra.com -- I'm definitely see it. I've heard really great things about it.

Ohio Intentional Community Forming

Kevin — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:21:11 GMT

Wabi is an aspiring intentional community located on 24 acres of land in southern Ohio. It is home to Healing Heart Herbals, run by herbalist Cindy Parker. Many people visit Wabi throughout the year to reconnect with nature and create community. The community house provides the space for generating income for the community as well as a place to live while building a home. The plan is to create a sustainable eco-community that will have less of an impact on the land. The land is beautiful and magical. Like minded folks live throughout these foothills and other communites exist here as well. We would love to connect with others who are interested in creating community here in Meigs county.
If you are interested email or call us! We would love to meet you. 740-742-8901

Giving Thanks To....

Sizzle — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:11:17 GMT

The People

Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue. We
have been given the duty to live in balance and harmony with each
other and all living things. So now, we bring our minds together as
one as we give greetings and thanks to each other as people.

Now our minds are one.

The Earth Mother

We are all thankful to our Mother, the Earth, for she gives us all
that we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon
her. It gives us joy that she continues to care for us as she has from
the beginning of time. To our mother, we send greetings and thanks.

Now our minds are one.

The Waters

We give thanks to all the waters of the world for quenching our thirst
and providing us with strength. Water is life. We know its power in
many forms-waterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans.
With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the spirit of Water.

Now our minds are one.

The Fish

We turn our minds to the all the Fish life in the water. They were
instructed to cleanse and purify the water. They also give themselves
to us as food. We are grateful that we can still find pure water. So,
we turn now to the Fish and send our greetings and thanks.

Now our minds are one.

The Plants

Now we turn toward the vast fields of Plant life. As far as the eye
can see, the Plants grow, working many wonders. They sustain many life
forms. With our minds gathered together, we give thanks and look
forward to seeing Plant life for many generations to come.

Now our minds are one.

The Food Plants

With one mind, we turn to honor and thank all the Food Plants we
harvest from the garden. Since the beginning of time, the grains,
vegetables, beans and berries have helped the people survive. Many
other living things draw strength from them too. We gather all the
Plant Foods together as one and send them a greeting of thanks.

Now our minds are one.

The Medicine Herbs

Now we turn to all the Medicine herbs of the world. From the beginning
they were instructed to take away sickness. They are always waiting
and ready to heal us. We are happy there are still among us those
special few who remember how to use these plants for healing. With one
mind, we send greetings and thanks to the Medicines and to the keepers
of the Medicines.

Now our minds are one.

The Animals

We gather our minds together to send greetings and thanks to all the
Animal life in the world. They have many things to teach us as people.
We are honored by them when they give up their lives so we may use
their bodies as food for our people. We see them near our homes and in
the deep forests. We are glad they are still here and we hope that it
will always be so.

Now our minds are one.

The Trees

We now turn our thoughts to the Trees. The Earth has many families of
Trees who have their own instructions and uses. Some provide us with
shelter and shade, others with fruit, beauty and other useful things.
Many people of the world use a Tree as a symbol of peace and strength.
With one mind, we greet and thank the Tree life.

Now our minds are one.

The Birds

We put our minds together as one and thank all the Birds who move and
fly about over our heads. The Creator gave them beautiful songs. Each
day they remind us to enjoy and appreciate life. The Eagle was chosen
to be their leader. To all the Birds-from the smallest to the largest-
we send our joyful greetings and thanks.

Now our minds are one.

The Four Winds

We are all thankful to the powers we know as the Four Winds. We hear
their voices in the moving air as they refresh us and purify the air
we breathe. They help us to bring the change of seasons. From the four
directions they come, bringing us messages and giving us strength.
With one mind, we send our greetings and thanks to the Four Winds.

Now our minds are one.

The Thunderers

Now we turn to the west where our grandfathers, the Thunder Beings,
live. With lightning and thundering voices, they bring with them the
water that renews life. We are thankful that they keep those evil
things made by Okwiseres underground. We bring our minds together as
one to send greetings and thanks to our Grandfathers, the Thunderers.

Now our minds are one.

The Sun

We now send greetings and thanks to our eldest Brother, the Sun. Each
day without fail he travels the sky from east to west, bringing the
light of a new day. He is the source of all the fires of life. With
one mind, we send greetings and thanks to our Brother, the Sun.

Now our minds are one.

Grandmother Moon

We put our minds together to give thanks to our oldest Grandmother,
the Moon, who lights the night-time sky. She is the leader of woman
all over the world, and she governs the movement of the ocean tides.
By her changing face we measure time, and it is the Moon who watches
over the arrival of children here on Earth. With one mind, we send
greetings and thanks to our Grandmother, the Moon.

Now our minds are one.

The Stars

We give thanks to the Stars who are spread across the sky like
jewelry. We see them in the night, helping the Moon to light the
darkness and bringing dew to the gardens and growing things. When we
travel at night, they guide us home. With our minds gathered together
as one, we send greetings and thanks to the Stars.

Now our minds are one.

The Enlightened Teachers

We gather our minds to greet and thank the enlightened Teachers who
have come to help throughout the ages. When we forget how to live in
harmony, they remind us of the way we were instructed to live as
people. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to these caring
teachers.

Now our minds are one.

The Creator

Now we turn our thoughts to the creator, or Great Spirit, and send
greetings and thanks for all the gifts of Creation. Everything we need
to live a good life is here on this Mother Earth. For all the love
that is still around us, we gather our minds together as one and send
our choicest words of greetings and thanks to the Creator.

Now our minds are one.

Closing Words

We have now arrived at the place where we end our words. Of all the
things we have named, it was not our intention to leave anything out.
If something was forgotten, we leave it to each individual to send
such greetings and thanks in their own way.

Now our minds are one.

Permaculture community seeking new people.

bosquevillage — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:14:33 GMT

Hello!

We are a budding ecovillage in the highlands of Mexico.

We are looking for some longer term volunteers to live here in exchange for the work they do.
We need: Kitchen manager, yoga instructor, massage therapist, ecological building instructor, domestic help, and teachers of Spanish and English.
Our regular volunteers pay a fee to work here, but for these positions we can make other arrangements. We are also open to new residents with compatible values.

After years of work, this forest serves as a retreat space for artists, performers, writers, and other creative and friendly people. It is called the "Bosque Village". Bosque means forest in Spanish.

This place is becoming an ongoing small festival as well as a growing community.

We have a constant stream of volunteers and amazing visitors! Some people come through when they are between jobs, traveling, or to live here for a time and telecommute. Some of our visitors are visiting many communities looking for one to live in.

Bills Could Reorganize Farming and Criminalize Organic Farming

kaiyafuson — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:06:50 GMT

In two vague bills introduced both in the House and Senate of the US Congress, a vast reorganization of America’s agriculture system aimed at tracking and regulating foods for public safety could endanger organic farms and gardens.

DreamCouncil

kaiyafuson — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:00:52 GMT

D SKy has suggested that we learn to meet in dreamtime. It began in my mind as a really cool idea, and is opening into the extraordinary

The first night we tried to meet at a cafe in southern Italy. I balked, and nothing of the experience remains in memory, if it worked at all. the next night we gtried to gather around a fire on Mt shasta.

that night I dreamed I was going down a frozen river, with my partner. We were going quickly, and I was not facing the flow. I was pushing with my fists, and crashing into the banks repeatedly. An Angel, an aspect of my partner...? stopped me and cautioned me to stay more focused, to learn to look the way i am going and honor it, for I will be unable to guide others until I can watch the path with calm grace.

I listened intently, and we began again. I promptly guided the bed/raft onto a steam radiator that 'just happneed' to be on the next river bank.

to me, I am left with many insights, and the general impression that this is a much more amazing, and challenging goal than my first glance expected.

So I frame this as a challenge to this tribe.

Let us LEARN how to do this. Let us learn to council together, around a fire on Mt Shasta, by rhythms of the moon. Let us get so good at it that we can come and write of the experience here the next day, and confirm deep wisdom shared from dreamtime.

With such faith and love, we can open many doors to blessing ourselves, eachother, and the world we share as home and body.

How shall we learn to do this?

Birthing

kaiyafuson — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:46:31 GMT

I went on a meditation last night, and felt some very awesome consciousness.

Angels, beings of extraordinary scope... returning to Earth, because she is about to give birth, AGAIN.

I had this unspoken sense that we have been snowed, tricked, isolated... duped... into this story that there hasn't been much going on for millions of years... and then BOOM! We come on the scene and here wee all are, born into an age where the planet may or may not be about to spontaneously combust... and we are supposed to buy that we are living now, and just happen to be on this tipping point, and are more conscious then any lifeform that has ever been on the planet, and there isn't all sorts of other life out there?

Such bullshit. Such a very amazing trick, to keep us so veiled.

I mean I feel oodles of life, but this is a door opening wider. I felt the consciousness of ages, of these beings as if I were one of them, returning for Gaia's birth... again.

that countless numbers of her children have been sent out into the universe, and each 'class' baby, being... is full of entire sets of species, and our shared consciousness.

I felt one of them say 'take care of the internet for us' then, gone.

does this resonate with any of ya'll?

Mobile phones 'killing bees'

feiruz_al-bnefsagia — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:55:11 GMT

Study suggests radio-emitting devices could be responsible for Colony Collapse Disorder

http://www.computing.co.uk/vnunet/news/2187944/mobile-phones-kill-bees

A new study by a German university has suggested that mobile phones and other radio-emitting devices could be killing bees.

Researchers at Langer University in Koblenz said that radio interference from devices like mobile phones could be causing a dramatic decline in bee numbers.

The study suggests that the radio waves scramble bees' internal navigation systems, leaving them unable to find their hives.

The study looked at Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a syndrome first noticed in the US, in which colonies of bees suddenly disappear. Bee numbers in the US have fallen by two thirds and CCD has now been seen in Europe.

Dr Jochen Kuhn, head of the Koblenz research team, said that the work done so far provides "a viable clue" as to the cause of CCD.

Bees are vital to humans, since they pollinate over 80 per cent of the world's crops. In many cases bees have also been domesticated to the point where they can no longer live without human support.

But there are other reasons for the decline in bee numbers. Increased use of organophosphate pesticides seriously damaged European bee stocks a decade ago, and predators and fungal infections have also been cited as reasons for declining numbers.

"So far, apart from some isolated cases, our members have not reported levels of colony loss out of the ordinary," said a statement from the London Beekeepers Association.

"Our chairman, who keeps a relatively large number of colonies, has had particularly severe losses this year and lost over half his stock, but there is no sign yet of this being due to anything particularly unusual, although the case is still being investigated."

650+ International Scientists Dissent Over AGW

psircles — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:12:50 GMT

More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims
Admin, Friday 12 December 2008 - 00:05:15

Over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernemntal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 231-page U.S. Senate Minority Report report -- updated from 2007’s groundbreaking report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” -- features the skeptical voices of over 650 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. (This entry is a summary of the U. S. Senate Minority Report)

Below is just a small selection of quotes and highlights from the updated 2008 Senate Minority Report featuring over 650 international scientists dissenting from man-made climate fears. The 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. Note how many of these scientists have peer reviewed and published studies, are former IPCC members, are long term government scientists, there are even a couple of astronauts with scientific backgrounds. So the next time someone tells you that only crackpots deny that man is causing global warming print this out for them:

“I am a skeptic…Global warming has become a new religion.” - Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever.

“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical. “The main basis of the claim that man’s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist

“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet

“So far, real measurements give no ground for concern about a catastrophic future warming.” - Scientist Dr. Jarl R. Ahlbeck, a chemical engineer at Abo Akademi University in Finland, author of 200 scientific publications and former Greenpeace member.

“Anyone who claims that the debate is over and the conclusions are firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous issues of our time.” - Solar physicist Dr. Pal Brekke, senior advisor to the Norwegian Space Centre in Oslo. Brekke has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles on the sun and solar interaction with the Earth.

“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.

“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.

“After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri's asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it's hard to remain quiet.” - Climate statistician Dr. William M. Briggs, who specializes in the statistics of forecast evaluation, serves on the American Meteorological Society's Probability and Statistics Committee and is an Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review.

“The Kyoto theorists have put the cart before the horse. It is global warming that triggers higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, not the other way round…A large number of critical documents submitted at the 1995 U.N. conference in Madrid vanished without a trace. As a result, the discussion was one-sided and heavily biased, and the U.N. declared global warming to be a scientific fact,” Andrei Kapitsa, a Russian geographer and Antarctic ice core researcher.

“Nature's regulatory instrument is water vapor: more carbon dioxide leads to less moisture in the air, keeping the overall GHG content in accord with the necessary balance conditions.” – Prominent Hungarian Physicist and environmental researcher Dr. Miklós Zágoni reversed his view of man-made warming and is now a skeptic. Zágoni was once Hungary’s most outspoken supporter of the Kyoto Protocol.

“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.

“Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes after the fact.” - Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC committee.

“The quantity of CO2 we produce is insignificant in terms of the natural circulation between air, water and soil... I am doing a detailed assessment of the UN IPCC reports and the Summaries for Policy Makers, identifying the way in which the Summaries have distorted the science.” - South Afican Nuclear Physicist and Chemical Engineer Dr. Philip Lloyd, a UN IPCC co-coordinating lead author who has authored over 150 refereed publications.

“All those urging action to curb global warming need to take off the blinkers and give some thought to what we should do if we are facing global cooling instead” - Geophysicist Dr. Phil Chapman, an astronautical engineer and former NASA astronaut, served as staff physicist at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

“CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another….Every scientist knows this, but it doesn’t pay to say so…Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver’s seat and developing nations walking barefoot.” - Dr. Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan.

“Whatever the weather, it's not being caused by global warming. If anything, the climate may be starting into a cooling period.” Atmospheric scientist Dr. Art V. Douglas, former Chair of the Atmospheric Sciences Department at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and is the author of numerous papers for peer-reviewed publications.

“But there is no falsifiable scientific basis whatever to assert this warming is caused by human-produced greenhouse gasses because current physical theory is too grossly inadequate to establish any cause at all.” - Chemist Dr. Patrick Frank, who has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed articles.

“The ‘global warming scare’ is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making. It has no place in the Society's activities.” - Award-Winning NASA Astronaut/Geologist and Moonwalker Jack Schmitt who flew on the Apollo 17 mission and formerly of the Norwegian Geological Survey and for the U.S. Geological Survey.

“Earth has cooled since 1998 in defiance of the predictions by the UN-IPCC….The global temperature for 2007 was the coldest in a decade and the coldest of the millennium…which is why ‘global warming’ is now called ‘climate change.’” - Climatologist Dr. Richard Keen of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado.

“I have yet to see credible proof of carbon dioxide driving climate change, yet alone man-made CO2 driving it. The atmospheric hot-spot is missing and the ice core data refute this. When will we collectively awake from this deceptive delusion?” - Dr. G LeBlanc Smith, a retired Principal Research Scientist with Australia’s Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

Recalling "Futureshock"

bearsky — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:39:29 GMT

I read science news on the internet pretty much every day. I often think of the book, Futureshock which I read when it first came out. The Futureshock is so bad right now that almost everyone has sort of zoned out in one way or another. Specialization is a common way of dealing with the maelstrom of change blowing us away - compartmentalization, it is a way of ducking out of the furious winds of change.

Whether Barack Obama wants it or not, Change is bearing down upon us like the lights of an oncoming train, ha ha ha

a cyborg consciousness is right around the corner

so many different things popping now in so many different scientific fields and not only in America, Europe and Japan but literally all over the world. Supercomputers are increasing in number as well as power allowing access to more and a greater diversity of scientists.

I tell you that I can feel it in my bones - like a cold wind, like a precipice, like the moment before freefall, both thrilling and terrifying at the same time ... "something" is coming together that none of us expect, something literally beyond our human imagination ...

i hope and pray in the name of love that it will not be a Frankenstein Monster that will destroy not only us but all DNA within the entire biosphere - may whoever crosses this threshold do so in love and with all the wisdom of the plant world and respect and devotion to the Gaian Spirit of this planet - the spirit of life itself

James Lovelock, the originator of the Gaia theory...

With his 90th birthday in July, a trip into space scheduled for later in the year and a new book out next month, 2009 promises to be an exciting time for James Lovelock. But the originator of the Gaia theory, which describes Earth as a self-regulating planet, has a stark view of the future of humanity. He tells Gaia Vince we have one last chance to save ourselves - and it has nothing to do with nuclear power.

Yardsharing and Seed Angels - We need you!

orlandooffthedeepend — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 23:14:29 GMT

We have a couple projects going that don't need funding - just participants!

The first is hyperlocavore.com. Hyperlocavore is a yardsharing community - built to support people in the practice of creating 'yardsharing' arrangements to grow food together.

Many people want to grow food but they lack one or two of these four things:
-time
-space
-skills
- physical strength

Forming a yardsharing group with your friends, neighbors, family or with your religious communities is easy - and free! You can set up a 'seeking yardshare' group for your area (like Chicago, South Side) or a private group for your own yardshare "Grandma's Backyard Garden"

CSAs are filling up fast. Community gardens have waiting lists. Food is getting more and more expensive.
Find some people and start growing together!

The other project we've started is The Great Let's Get Growing Seed Share.
We are asking experienced gardeners to become 'seed angels,' to adopt a newbie gardener and send them some garden seeds! I have sent four newbie gardeners enough seed that each of them will have huge beautiful edible gardens this summer. It's easy - it cost me less than 4 dollars to get four gardens going!

If you are an experienced gardener we need you to become a seed angel!
If you are a newbie food grower - sign up!

It's FREE
http://hyperlocavore.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/the-great-lets-get-growing-seed-share/

If you think these are good ideas please help us get the word out to your communities! Blog it, tweet it, share it!

Antarctic glaciers slipping swiftly seaward

wil — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:25:52 GMT

This from this mornings news:

Antarctic glaciers slipping swiftly seaward

By ELIANE ENGELER, Associated Press Writer Eliane Engeler, Associated Press Writer – Wed Feb 25, 8:42 am ET

GENEVA – Antarctic glaciers are melting faster across a much wider area than previously thought, scientists said Wednesday — a development that could lead to an unprecedented rise in sea levels.

A report by thousands of scientists for the 2007-2008 International Polar Year concluded that the western part of the continent is warming up, not just the Antarctic Peninsula.

Previously most of the warming was thought to occur on the narrow stretch pointing toward South America, said Colin Summerhayes, executive director of the Britain-based Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research and a member of International Polar Year's steering committee.

But satellite data and automated weather stations indicate otherwise.

"The warming we see in the peninsula also extends all the way down to what is called west Antarctica," Summerhayes told The Associated Press. "That's unusual and unexpected."

For the International Polar Year, scientists from more than 60 countries have been conducting intense Arctic and Antarctic research over the past two southern summer seasons — on the ice, at sea, and via icebreaker, submarine and surveillance satellite.

The biggest west Antarctic glacier, the Pine Island Glacier, is moving 40 percent faster than it was in the 1970s, discharging water and ice more rapidly into the ocean, Summerhayes said.

The Smith Glacier, also in west Antarctica, is moving 83 percent faster than it did in 1992, he said.

All the glaciers in the area together are losing a total of around 103 billion tons (114 billion U.S. tons) per year because the discharge is much greater than the new snowfall, he said.

"That's equivalent to the current mass loss from the whole of the Greenland ice sheet," Summerhayes said, adding that the glaciers' discharge was making a significant contribution to the rise in sea levels. "We didn't realize it was moving that fast."

The glaciers are slipping into the sea faster because the floating ice shelf that would normally stop them — usually 650 to 980 feet (200 to 300 meters) thick — is melting.

The warming of western Antarctica is a real concern.

"There's some people who fear that this is the first signs of an incipient collapse of the west Antarctic ice sheet," Summerhayes said.

Antarctica's average annual temperature has increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.56 degrees Celsius) since 1957, but is still 50 degrees Fahrenheit (45.6 degrees Celsius) below zero, according to a recent study by Eric Steig of the University of Washington.

Summerhayes said sea levels will rise faster than predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group set up by the United Nations.

A 2007 IPCC report predicted a sea level rise of 7 to 23 inches (18 to 58 centimeters) by the end of the century, which could flood low-lying areas and force millions to flee. The group said an additional 3.9 to 7.8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) rise was possible if the recent, surprising melting of polar ice sheets continues.

Summerhayes said the rise could be much higher.

"If the west Antarctica sheet collapses, then we're looking at a sea level rise of between 1 meter and 1.5 meters (3 feet, 4 inches to nearly 5 feet)," Summerhayes said.

Ian Allison, co-chair of the International Polar Year's steering committee, said many scientists now say the upper limit for sea level rise should be higher than predicted by IPCC.

"That has a very large impact," Allison said, adding that extremely large storms which might previously have occurred once in a year would start to occur on a weekly basis.

The IPY researchers found the southern ocean around Antarctica has warmed about 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) in the past decade, double the average warming of the rest of the Earth's oceans over the past 30 years.

No more Gaia

Tony — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:32:45 GMT

I've been thinking that my use of the word Gaia only confuses people. People relate it to James Lovelock's theory, which is really drastically different than my theory. Here's a small list of the differences.

1. James Lovelock's theory is about a very low intelligence lifeform, made up of living things. My theory is about an extremely high intelligence lifeform made up of information. In my theory, the life is in the information, not the interaction of mechanical objects.

2. James Lovelock's theory is about a single living entity. My theory is about many millions of living entities, a whole new type of lifeforms.

My theory explains the existence of God, and how and when God came into being. My theory provides and explanation for Intelligent Design.

My theory also fits well with the concept of memes. If you think of a meme as a living entity, you come very close to understanding my theory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

Not only does "the one true God" exist, but there is also other very powerful gods with dark purposes. As pointed on on Wikipedia, "Theorists point out that memes which replicate the most effectively spread best, and some memes may replicate effectively even when they prove detrimental to the welfare of their hosts."

In other words, if a meme would result in the complete destruction of mankind and even the world, it will still replicate effectively until all is destroyed. Viruses destroy their hosts as well, and they replicate effectively until their hosts are dead.

There is strong evidence that shows that "the one true God" seeks to prevent the destruction of Mankind and the World.

Here's my theory:

Mycelium Reflections

bearsky — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:03:20 GMT

Looking at my little village below under the bright and friendly auspices of the sun, I saw the complex “wiring” of humanity. Infrastructure resembling exactly our own internal infrastructure of bones and blood vessels and nerves. Our behavior and even our actions are biological. When I close my eyes I can see the relatively small bundle of nerves - roads, electrical transmission lines, underground sewage and water lines linking with larger hubs until I saw the vast human infrastructure of the east coast: startling in its complexity when seen this way. It is our macro body. In some ways - almost begrudgingly - we have accommodated nature - avoiding mountains, deserts, the poles … favoring seashores, waterways, temperate climates. At a profound level we humans as a collective have severed our link to other DNA life on the planet. We collectively think less in terms of symbiosis than in terms of parasitism. We arose from the dirt of this earth like new, dumb gods searching to understand the meaning of our own existence. After almost 4 billion years of DNA life on this planet we humans with our technology of language, writing, reading, mathematics and all the sciences stand ready to finally answer the big questions. But without a more spiritual, holistic and wise mind, we will be only a machine observing its own minutia. How sad is that considering that we really could be gods?

We have a saying in cross country skiing, especially telemarking, “free your heels, free your mind” which I think is applicable to us - “free your hands, free your mind”. I think that is what we did. But I think it was also our basic animal nature to form cooperative social structures. It was this intense social nature that got us here as well as our big brains and our hands. (I think of our earliest ancestor throwing a stick at a predator and as the stick spins it transforms into a human space craft on the way our of our own galaxy … )

When I was hearing voices and felt that I was in contact with our Gaian Mother, I recall that She wanted an alliance between plant and man. The Plant Mind needs your hands, She said emphatically. By “hands” I think that our Mother meant all of human technology. From this I can only conclude that our planet is already doomed but that there is a chance if we combine our technology with the Plant Mind of the planet.

Our Gaian Mother does not want us to be machines. She wants us to be the gods that we are. She made it clear that we need the plant minds wisdom as much as the plant mind needs our ... hands. LIfe is dynamic and full of choices and consequences. Anything can happen and probably will ... this very moment is shimmering in possibility and any future lies far out beyond any speculation ... and at any moment the god in us may arise to fulfill our purpose as a sentient form of DNA life ...
Or not?

Ephemeral Mists "moon ritual"

mysticalfairy — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:04:49 GMT

Ephemeral Mists is the newest side project by composer Brett Branning (The synthetic dream foundation & Abandoned Toys). The debut album, "Moon Ritual" is out now on Mythical records.

The sound of the project is best described as downtempo ambient electronics mixed with ethnic world musics in the vein of "Karma" era Delerium, Amethystium, and Dead Can Dance. Its really a very intoxicatingly beautiful creation and I highly recommend it to anyone into ambient music styles.

I just read the Taliban has forced Islamic law on northern Pakistan. This could easily produce a great deal of fear...

Does anyone know of examples of fundementalisms simply dying off, from once militant lives, to basically imploding culture.

Our (US) approach does not seem to be working.

Guela party

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:52:19 GMT

This is very inspiring.

Like the Intergalactic Underground, the idea for the Geula Party came from voyages in the psychedelic realms. It was there, while traveling in inner space, that I confronted a voice which urged me: "In this chaotic reality in which you live, you have to raise your voice and say something that will break the wall of lies in which the people are caught, in which you yourself are caught."

Emergency help needed for Native americans now!

Sizzle — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 02:12:48 GMT

Dear Ones,

Please read:

''Emergency Winter Heating/Utility Assistance Program for the Elders, Disabled, and Seriously Ill.''

Winter in South Dakota started early Autumn 2008 and has been
exceptionally brutal with days and nights already breaking many records
for below 0*F temperatures and reported wind chill factors defying
comprehension at -72*F.

On the Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux Reservation, this has set even the
most solid of reservation organizations scrambling for heating fuel.
Add to the problem a 33% increase in propane costs this year and it has
become a very tenuous situation.

Sadly, like everywhere, it's always the elders and sick who are the most at risk.

Still there are many qualified elders and disabled from the Reservation
on a waiting list for assistance.

Bitter cold temperatures and snow still persist and are expected to
continue well into March 2009.

But with the early onset of winter and the blizzards and extended frigid
temperatures creating extreme need, funding is low or depleted
at this point for most of them.

The ultimate goal will be the programs provided which will continue
to keep people alive and warm, one family at a time.

Please visit www.nativeprogress.org
to help send money, food, blankets etc...

I spoke to a lady named Jeri Baker and a gentleman named John DuBray this morning.
JERRY: 570-460-6567
JOHN: 605-441-5477

www.nativeprogress.org/content/view/49/112/

Jeri provided me with the above website to peruse:
John gave the following address for mailing supplies:

ONE SPIRIT

ALLEN, SOUTH DAKOTA

NATIVEPROGRESS.ORG
www.nativeprogress.org/

The woman in charge of directly working with the elderly on the reservation is:

LINDA BULL BEAR

LBULLBEAR@NATIVEPROGRESS.ORG

Please notify those you think might help of this crisis.

FEMA is not helping. I repeat, FEMA is NOT helping.

Thank you Sooper Bear and Crow's World for the tip and thank you friends for taking the time to read my blog.

Blessed Be

World Builders?

Takeshi — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 05:19:42 GMT

hey guys, I came across a concept and i want to test it with some others and see how it is recieved.

the concept is that of a world builder.
in the beginning when gaia was created, there would have been a creator, or perhaps a group of creators.
maybe these world builders worked in a team and fed the essence of gaia and gave it form and direction?
almost like a computer programmer?

Love poems from Rumi, for this valentine

sina(i'm Love ) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:39:20 GMT

To all of you that feel the call to explore the endless potential of love, journey now with love’s greatest student – and master – the 13th century mystic poet of Persia : Jelaluddin Rumi. Rumi’s incredible, profound verses invite us to experience a love beyond our senses, beyond time, beyond language: a love that removes all boundaries and answers all desire.
Sina Yasavolian recites selections of Nader Khalili’s translations in a graceful, lyrical dance to an original musical score by Hamoon Tehrani . His music awakens our hearts as Sina’s soothing voice and Rumi’s sensitive words transport our spirits to a place of union with the infinite divine presence. In her readings, Sina exhibits a deep respect and understanding of Rumi’s writing, which she generously shares with us. Do more than listen to this poetry and music; let it color your soul. You can buy and download these music, directly from this site. hope you enjoy it.
you can visite these web site for the CD.
