Hi everyone, and apparently that is now a lot of you that have recently discovered my blog. I’ve had lots of comments from the comments section and while it is wonderful and positive feedback, I have to be honest because Read more
We are at a crucial juncture in human existence. Besides the need to grow spiritually (and for those that haven’t read my earlier posts on this, I emphasize that this does not automatically include religion, which itself is a control Read more
In earlier posts (Spirituality Vs. Religion 1 – 5) I talked about how Emperor Constantine assembled the Economical Councils to highly edit the Christian religious texts that would be acceptable for the bible and expunged teaching that didn’t fit the Read more
In my earlier posts of ‘Spirituality vs. Religion’ and ‘How Control Happens’ I covered how we are manipulated by elite hierarchies (the Cabal) to fit within certain norms of behavior. These arbitrary norms have become our consensus reality within whose Read more
Psycho-neuro immunology – How people think affects not only how they feel but also the neurotransmitter systems in the body – so how you think really does affect your well-being and your health in a direct physical way. Stress from Read more
I have talked several times in the blog about reality and how quantum science tells us it is an illusion and that the world is a holographic simulation (see posts The non-solid universe 1-4). Most people caught up in the Read more
The last five posts were a story of how we globally came to be bamboozled by American Hyper-Consumerism. The problem is not so much consumerism as the economic drive that forced a tragic and mindless lifestyle onto people with the Read more
We’ve had the problem of perceiving money as having innate value for well over 5 centuries now, but the last 100 years has seen it taken to new heights. After the first war and especially after the second war, a Read more
I have a sub-title of ‘A sense of belonging’ in this latest thread of posts. This is deliberate because we all need to feel that innate sense of belonging to something. In its healthy form it can create a wonderful Read more
To understand economics and how the globalized world we take for granted today came about, in today’s post I would like to tell a story. It’s a greatly simplified story but the essence is quite solid, and I hope that Read more
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. @science & metaphysics When I talk of community it is more than a group pf people living and working Read more
In my Sustainable Living (SL) Text, I overview a few locations where the people are living in a new way of cooperative and localized living. It is really about rebuilding community, and that’s what ‘Intentional Communities’ are all about – Read more
Many scholars support the idea that all we need to do to solve the world’s problems is to reform what we currently do and just promote more laws and regulations to curb humanity’s worse tendencies. As a broad generalization, many Read more
In my last post I talked about the need for a positive mind frame to create a sense of well-being. While mindset is one of the factors for a healthy life, there are many others. As I have been travelling Read more
In basic communication theory, thoughts in your head have to be converted into words. As the sender, these words are specifically encoded by how your brain thinks about the world. The words are transmitted in some manner and are received Read more
I was reading an overview of a U.S. governmental financial report the other day and it quite categorically said that the country’s economy is doing well! I almost fell off my chair in aghast disbelief of what I was reading! Read more
Nature has had a long time to get things right and as efficiently as possible. For instance, an intact grass prairie ecosystem has adapted to survive perfectly in any varying conditions where it exists. In this area of Colorado, the Read more
I have mentioned a few times in this Blog that we can learn a lot from nature. Think about it for a minute. The natural world has been adapting and modifying itself for over 3.8 billion years and is still Read more
I had prepared three more posts when computers being what they are I somehow managed to lose the file as it was backing up. Despite spending two hours trying to locate a previous version, I have given up. So, today’s, Read more
In the last post I commented on negativity when talking about problems and issues and also the use of interpretive techniques to get people to listen more attentively rather than just tuning out. The mass media has done a wonderful Read more

I was listening to a short U-tube talk by Vandana Shiva, a brilliant philosopher from India. She really put things into simple perspective. It got me to thinking again how we transform the world to one we want to see Read more
Whenever I talk about the farming system, many people disempower themselves with disclaimers like “I can’t afford healthy food” or “It’s hard to find healthy food.” Talk about an external Locus of Control (see prior post – How people think Read more
An obvious, yet poignant question I used to ask my students to get them thinking – “What does the term Sustainable Agriculture imply about modern industrial agriculture?” I am always amazed how so many people talk about sustainability but still Read more
“Modern corporate driven Industrial Farming is not about food! It is about chemical and oil corporations making money. Food is merely the vehicle in which they do this: And as a value added bonus, also a way to provide the Read more
In the previous post I talked about the 10% rule of energetics within the food chain. The potentially most efficient way to eat is to consume the vegetables directly so that we get 10% of the vegetables energy. Eating an Read more
“The primary mode of cognition that the practitioners of science have used during the past century – Analytic, Linear, Reductionist, Deterministic, Mechanical – has begun to reach the limits of its assumptions. For this particular mode of cognition and the Read more
Main future view categories (numbers in parentheses are percentages for each category – 25 years and 100 years, with question three overviews in the narrative within each question). 1. No real change over 25 years (or even 100 years?) (0%/7%). Read more
