These are just a few questions individuals have when they determine the route to take for a divorce.  As I stated in my article about leaving your relationship, it is not a good idea to just sit back and let the lawyer handle it.  Most have quite heavy caseloads, and often if you are on a tight budget, which most individuals are, then you are likely not to get much attention that way.  It is not personal, just the way things are.

The point is yes, please take an active interest in your divorce proceedings.  Even if you and your soon to be ex spouse cannot get along or agree on much, do agree that the longer you fight, the more you lose and the more expensive it will be. Not to mention it is going to take a toll on your children.

House:

Decide on the house and try to refinance before your divorce if at all possible.  Whomever is keeping the house should try to qualify for the refinance as soon as feasibly possible.  You both can supervise the paperwork.  However, if you cannot refinance, know this too so you can make other plans.  You may have to sell the house, even if you have little or no equity built up.  Whatever the case, it is good to have a real estate agent you both can agree on.

Kids:

You can rough out a parenting plan on paper or even file one with the court.  Be specific and do not forget to create a holiday schedule.  You can always change it later.  If there is a reason the children should be with one parent over the other, document everything and make sure your attorney knows this as well.  For safety issues, custody should be decided even on a temporary basis at a hearing as soon as possible.  This takes place before the divorce, generally speaking.  You can also determine what each parent will pay for support and finalize it later on.  Things do change.  Unless there is a safety issue again, do not involve a Guardian Ad Litem.  This is a great way to run up the bill without accomplishing much.  They do represent the children’s interests, however, you should be able to do this with a little legal research and free help at the courthouse and with divorce resource groups.  Having this also prolongs the divorce and adds further costs with studies, hearings and other often unnecessary proceedings.

Assets

Whoever decides to leave can take what they brought to the marriage.  Take all of your personal belongings out the first time, as you may not get a second chance ever, or for a long time.  It all depends upon how amicable the two of you are.  Even if they cannot do this by law, they may change the locks or seize/destroy your possessions.  If you take things in error while in a hurry, you can always bring them back later on.  Record on video and on paper all assets so you have a record.  You will need this for court.  The more work you can do, the less likely it is to cost you for attorneys to figure things out and do research.  If you can, find out the exact amounts of all your investments and bank accounts.  You will be awarded based on this figure at time of divorce.  Check with your HR department at work if you are not sure.  Try to minimally involve the attorney in this because you will be charged for time, phone calls and nearly every email.  This is good to know to avoid sticker shock later with your attorney.

Know general Divorce laws and guidlines

This will help eliminate time and money spent obtaining assets that you may not have the right to in the first place.  Again, agree on anything possible.  Start at ground zero and work your way up if you have to.  If there is a sore spot, avoid it.  Take classes on divorce offered by your court system and go to free consultations with as many lawyers as it takes until you are comfortable.  If there are classes required before you divorce, take the class, pay the fee and save copies of any paperwork or completion certificates.  You will need those to get divorced.

Know too that if you and your spouse share an attorney somehow, and then end up disagreeing later, you will have to start all over, so be cautious if this is the route you choose.  Know too that laws vary in every state.

Good luck with this transition in your life.  It is never easy.  There will be more in this series later on.  This is a good start, it is more information than I had.

Can we spend our way to prosperity and not worry about the entrepreneur in society?  It seems as if Congress believes that stimulus alone will resuscitate the American economy.  Government spending is supposed to boost demand for the products government spends those funds on.  If the spending is on infrastructure spending, then industry will produce more material for infrastructure building.  That spending increases the deficit, but is supposed to multiply spending through the economy and make up for that spending by the tax revenue generated when those stimulus dollars multiply through transactions in society.  The road-building worker buys a new car employing the auto worker who buys who buys a new house employing the construction worker who buys a new TV, etc.

All that “macroeconomic” theory of deficit spending would be interesting if it were not for the failure to bridge the gap to what is going on at the individual level in the economy.  Looking at individuals is what microeconomics is all about.  There has always been a gap between macroeconomics and microeconomics.  That gap is filled by looking at what is happening to the individuals when macroeconomic policies are implemented.

America cannot spend its way to prosperity.  The multiplier is not that effective; in fact some economists believe it is less than 1; i.e. a dollar of government spending returns less than a dollar to the US treasury.  If this is the case, then government spending is not a cure for a slow-growth or negative-growth economy, but additional harm.  

Thus, better policy is stimulate the entrepreneurs to build businesses and employ workers.  The best policies for this stimulation are those that foster, maintain, and encourage entrepreneurism.  Low fees for forming businesses; low taxes on created wealth; low costs for workers (including health costs, benefits, and litigation costs); and predictability.  If an entrepreneur is uncertain if taxes or regulations will rise next year, that uncertainty will deter new businesses from starting.  Encouraging business building will strengthen the economy, and eventually — assuming no harmful effects from Washington — allow the American economy to grow to overtake the deficit currently accumulating. 

The transportation sector accounts for the largest share of energy consumption particularly the bio fuels and hydrocarbons including natural gas which are extracted from the land and deep sea exploration. Transportation of extracted fuels is also an important issue as well as extraction of hydrocarbons from their respective sources.

The share of petroleum use in the United States has risen from 52 percent in 1970 to 66 percent in 1995 and it is expected to increase to 70 percent by 2011. The International Energy association predicts that 59 percent of the 41-million barrels per day increase in worldwide oil demand expected from 1995 to 2020 will come from petroleum products.

Energy policy is derived from security, economic and environmental goals and it is difficult to chart an energy policy path that is coherent and on consensus can be achieved. It is dependent on the ability of the market, prices, demand and availability. Particular emphasis is required to be placed on infrastructure and volatility issues that are related to the governmental and their solutions. Actions required by the government include:

1.      Focus on atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

2.      Energy and environmental policy that includes specific attention to carbon dioxide and incentives for reducing emissions.

3.      Environmental impacts due to extraction from newer sources and displacement of forest land and ecologically sensitive areas.

4.      Handling and avoiding of repetition of major environmental disasters like the Exxon and BP oil spill.

5.      Legislations to demarcate boundaries between federal and state jurisdictions over environmental matters.

6.      Use of alternative sources of energy which have a mild impact on the environment like solar power and wind power.

7.      Environmentally friendly standards within the electric power sector.

8.      Improving efficiency of power plants dependent on bio fuels and production of energy efficient vehicles.

9.      Support for research based activities on energy use.

10.  Providing incentives for fuel efficiency and subsidies where there is substantial saving of energy and technological advancements.

11.  Rebates in taxes and duties for manufacture and use of energy efficient products.

The purpose of such activities will establish a consistent and efficient reliability regime applicable to everyone and efficiency has a critical role in balancing supply and demand and reducing energy demands. Increased federal support of research and development related to energy and environmental technologies on both the demand and supply sides in order will help to sustain a stable economic environment for energy, to accommodate economic growth and to meet environmental objectives. The use of technology is critical to energy development in the past and will continue to be so in the future.

Between 1973 and 1986, the U.S. economy’s  energy intensity (energy consumption per dollar of GDP) declined by 35 percent; since then, the rate  of decline slowed dramatically, amounting to only about 15 percent over the period. That slowdown raises total national energy costs by about $100 billion per year.

Technologies are in hand to once again accelerate energy efficiency and associated environmental gains significantly. To realize this in a timely way requires that integrated fiscal, regulatory and technology policies be implemented by the administration and Congress.

Efficiency has increased in the  transportation  sector where average miles per gallon (mpg) for standard automobiles has increased from 15.1 in 1983 to about 21.5 in 1999, However, the potential to do much more is an attainable option. The average fuel economy of light trucks on the road is only 17.4 to 18mpg.

Ford and General Motors have vowed to improve fuel economy on certain SUVs by 25 percent by 2005, but across-the-board implementation of higher mileage standards for light trucks could substantially lower oil use in the United States. SUVs account for 25 percent of the category of light trucks, up from 13.2 percent of all light trucks in 1992, yielding an average annual growth rate of 14 percent.

The share of natural gas rose from 18.2 percent in 1973 to 24 percent in 1999. Nuclear power is an indigenous source of energy, unique in having the capacity to provide enough energy to last hundreds of years without emitting greenhouse gasses Nuclear energy represents 22.9 percent of total U.S. electricity generation and is expected to fall as older plants are retired and as new construction is thwarted by social concerns and by regulatory issues as well as waste disposal obstacles.

Also in the 1970s and early 1980s, companies began investing in renewable technologies, but as oil prices began to fall in the mid-1980s and some investors in renewable projects failed to turn a profit, this trend also slowed. Renewable energy sources, including biomass, solar, wind and hydro, now represent less than 10 percent of total U.S. energy use. Technological advances that have led to cost reductions in some fuels such as solar and wind represents an area for expanded attention. But hydro is the dominant renewable resources and has minimal expansion potential in the United States. 

Environmental factors have also led to a decrease in the share of coal in the U.S. energy mix from 30 percent in 1973 to 23 percent currently, despite the fact that the United States has among the largest coal deposits in the world. Still, more than 50 percent of all electricity generated in the United States is fueled by coal. Internationally, coal use is expected to double in the next fifteen years. Despite governmental and industry efforts to foster clean coal technologies, coal’s high carbon base has made it a subject of attack by environmental concerns.

Deepwater Horizon was an ultra-deepwater dynamically positioned, semi-submersible offshore oil drilling rig. Built in 2001 in South Korea by Hyundai Heavy Industries, the rig was commissioned by R&B Falcon, which later became part of Transocean, registered in Majuro,

Marshall Islands, and leased to BP plc until 2013.

In September 2009, the rig drilled the deepest oil well in history at a vertical depth of 35,050 ft in the Tiber field at Keathley Canyon block 102, approximately 250 miles southeast of Houston in 4,132 feet of water.

On April 20, 2010, when drilling at the Macondo Prospect, an explosion on the rig caused by a blowout killed eleven crewmen and ignited a fireball whose flames were visible from 35 miles. The resulting fire could not be extinguished and, on April 22, 2010, Deepwater Horizon sank, leaving the well gushing at the sea floor and causing the largest offshore oil spill in United States history.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred to as the BP oil spill) in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Some estimates have already placed it as among the largest oil spills in history with hundreds of millions of gallons spilled to date. The gusher was estimated to be flowing at 35,000 to 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

For comparison, this is equal to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, every one to two weeks. The resulting oil slick covers at least 2,500 square miles. Scientists have also reported immense underwater plumes of oil not visible at the surface.

The Deepwater Horizon accident was a Project Failure of immense proportions. The resulting environmental disaster is widely affecting life below and above the sea throughout the region, seriously damaging coastal wetlands and wildlife, and has negatively affecting fishing, tourism and many other industries in those US states.

The lives of nearly all residents of the coastal regions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and several US states has been seriously affected. In addition, the inability of BP to stop the flow, communication blunders by BP management, negative media accounts and continuing coverage resulted in serious negative consequences for BP, subcontractors on the project and the oil exploration industry as a whole. The US federal government was also been criticized for slow and weak response to the disaster.

The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24, 1989, when

Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker bound for Long Beach, California, struck Prince William Sound’s Bligh Reef and spilled 260,000 to 750,000 barrels of crude oil. It is considered to be one of the most devastating human caused environmental disasters. The Valdez spill was the largest ever in U.S. waters until the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in terms of volume released.

However, Prince William Sound’s remote location, accessible only by helicopter, plane, and boat made government and industry response efforts difficult and severely taxed existing plans for response. The region is a habitat for salmon, sea otters, seals and seabirds. The oil originally extracted at the Prudhoe Bay oil field eventually covered 1,300 miles of coastline and 11,000 square miles of ocean.

The public remained supportive of Exxon, the oil industry and trans-shipments of oil and gas. In response to the spill, the United States Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). The legislation included a clause that prohibits any vessel that, after March 22, 1989, has caused an oil spill of more than 1 million US gallons (3,800 m3) in any marine area, from operating in Prince William Sound. The BP disaster is bigger and more serious than the Valdez accident; public reaction is also dramatically greater.

Risk management plans were inadequate, BP was not prepared for the accident, project management mistakes were made during drilling and communication mistakes were made by BP executives following the accident.

Environmental Protection is becoming more important and the American public has been deeply divided in recent years regarding climate change and the environment, the Deepwater

Horizon oil spill and its environmental impact on the Gulf of Mexico have singly changed attitudes.

In the Exxon Valdes tanker spill of 1989, Congress responded with the 1990 Oil. Pollution Act, assigning the liability for cleanup costs, to companies responsible for major spills and also required thicker oil tanker hulls. And while the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in a far greater body of water, it’s also much closer to densely populated areas.

That’s why this spill is sure to prompt new safety, oversight and liability regulations for offshore oil drilling and has already undercut Obama’s proposal for expanding that industry. Our reliance on old, fossil-fuel based technologies is devastating for the planet, for society, and for business. This spill is in many ways an expected result of the path we have chosen.

Given the declining stocks of easy access oil, our addiction is forcing us to dig up extremely remote oil something very hard to do that comes with enormous complexity and myriad risks of catastrophic failure.

The assumption that we will continue to dig up more carbon-emitting fossil fuels may be called into question in a serious way by the Gulf oil spill. Governments may very well ask for companies to invest far more in safety. It’s a reasonable outcome that regulators demand that companies invest not only in the technologies to dig oil up, but also in cutting edge ways to greatly reduce the risk of it going all over the place.

The Spill Seekers, by Rowan Jacobsen

Motivation is a very important topic; we can bring a positive and meaningful change in our life by understanding it fully. Let’s examine what is Motivation? What is its importance in our lives? What is the relation of motivation with success? Which factors are essential for elevating motivation and what are the factors that reduce or kill motivation?

In simple words, motivation is a name of “energy” or “power” that enables a person following his targets with full heart and soul. In the presence of Motivation the journey of a person keeps on moving ahead automatically and a person completes the most difficult tasks happily and easily. Will power and motivation are the essential ingredients for success.

It is the same power that pushes a worshipper leaving his warm bed in the severe cold for worshipping, convinces any soldier performing his duty in unfavorable conditions in a desert. It is a strange power that uplifts a person for converting impossible tasks into possible ones and it its absence the easiest task seems impossible.

In respect of motivation different experts have put their ideas in front of the world, all are important in their places, but the idea that received the most popularity was presented by American Professor Abraham Mosley in 1943. In this Article we will examine his idea thoroughly/in detail, understanding which we will be able getting the answer of the question, “What are those factors that affect motivation?”

The Abraham Mosley’s idea about Motivation cleared on the world that there are five types of human necessities in life, which on step by step completion elevates motivation in human and in case of non completion of these requirements, motivation starts declining. It must be cared much that the order of these requirements are very important because their order is set as per their importance. The human needs according to Professor Abraham Mosley are:

1- Physiological Needs

Physical needs are the foremost needs of human life, without which it is not possible keeping alive. These needs include food, shelter and cloth. With the civilization progress there are many other needs in the modern age that can be included in the category of physical needs as per our standards of living.

2- Security Needs

After fulfilling the physical needs, security needs are important. Who is not aware of the importance of security needs? A person cannot focus in the presence of insecure feelings and remained overwhelmed in variety of doubts. Possible fears about future keep him worried all the time.

Every person feels the necessity that his life and wealth would have no fears at all. He should have security in wealth and social affairs. The better condition of law and order, justice in the country, reliable punishment and reward system, conduct of merit in the society, arrangement of safety from accidents and health fulfills the human security needs.

3. Love and Belonging Needs

After fulfilling the health and security needs love and belonging needs are important. We all know that human is a social animal. He possesses the natural desire of giving and receiving love. Due to this need he makes friends, grows family and searches his life partner, all these things help him creating emotional bonding with others. These relations can both be sexual or non-sexual. It is also in his instinct that he wants to be a part of group whether religious, political or social.

Doing all this fulfills his requirement of love and relation. If his requirement of love is not fulfilled fully he feels himself lonely and the extreme feeling of loneliness can create depression in him. The most important aspect of this need is that in case of non-fulfillment, a person may also lose interest in the fulfillment of physical and security needs. You might have seen many people who leave eating food, leave there houses and sometimes leave their lives as well, in case they fail in getting love or face separation from their loving personality,

4. Esteem Needs

Every person has a natural need that he must be respected. He desires that other people admire his qualities and abilities present in his personality, he receives acceptance everywhere and he must be seen as respectable. In order to fulfilling this need people associate themselves with different activities and hobbies which creates a sense of contribution in him and the need of self-esteem fulfills.

If this need is not fulfilled to a considerable extent, his self-esteem gets affected and in some cases he can become a victim of inferiority complex. The more the people have low self esteem, the more they need admiration and respect from others. Such people are more inclined getting popularity and dignity, because in this way they get more respect and honor from people.

The interesting thing in this respect is that the people with low self-esteem do not get satisfaction even by the getting respect and honor externally rather the improvement process starts only when they recover their self-esteem internally. The depression cases are more critical. Such people cannot show any extraordinary performances due to their mental condition, and hence, neither considered deserving of any respect or admiration nor succeed internally recovering their low self-esteem.

5. Self Actualizing Needs

Among Abraham Mosley’s idea of needs this is the last one. The relation of this need is with the desire that if someone is using his full potential or not. It is the name of the desire by which a person wants to achieve every possible thing in life. This is an exemplary situation.

It can also be described as the growth process has not stopped in a person but is still going on with the time. The needs of self actualizing can be different in different people. Some people satisfy their desire of self actualizing by putting their energies in painting, photography, poetry and inventions.

Understanding the above mentioned details you would have guessed that these cover almost every aspect of our needs in life. There is no easy or short way keeping you motivated all the time but it is worth taking care of all these necessities in an orderly way as stated above.

Only financial stability and progress is not a guarantee of happy life but a human personality is a combination of variety of needs and every need has its own importance. All these requirements are entire reality and demand their fulfillment. Ignoring any one of these can only create a long term complexities in any one.

We often indulge in a mistake of using all of our energies, abilities and time for fulfilling any one of the above mentioned needs, while ignoring other needs of our personality. As a result, in due course of time, our motivation starts declining and ultimately we come across a mental condition where we feel lack of motivation.

The only way of dealing this situation is that we shall examine our life style and priorities carefully and evaluate the following:

To what extent can we fulfill these needs?

Where are we making mistake?

What important aspects of our life demand our attention and time?

After fulfilling all these requirements considerably, a person becomes capable of passing a complete, fulfilled, happy and satisfied life and develops an unlimited providence of energy that enables him achieving any target in life without much difficulty.

There is a basic difference between the static philosophy and moving philosophy, static God and moving God, static science and moving science, static tradition and moving tradition. One of the spiritual persons Basavanna once said, “There is destruction for what stands but not for that which moves”.

Whenever nature gives birth to new wonders in the world, be it in science, religion, tradition, or in something else it represents a moving character. Nevertheless, this moving character will not last for a long time because of our own static way of thinking. Whenever new research emerged in the history of humanity, it has maintained moving character in the beginning, but slowly it has lost the beauty of the moving character because of the orthodox interaction of our own finite mind. Nevertheless, the transformation of moving character to static character occurs only in human mind, not in nature.

In the western world, now there is a spiritual madness to dig out all the static philosophies of the ancient history. Some are talking on Tantra, some are talking on Yoga, some are talking on Vastu, and some are talking on mediation and so on. In fact, they are searching for the static shelter to compensate or to define their own lethargic way of life. Nevertheless, our ancient Sages, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Rama, Prophet and other prominent spiritual personalities emerged with moving philosophy; not with a static one, but who made it static? Ask yourself! Which philosophy, science, religion, culture, god and tradition you are representing? Is it a static one or a moving one? Vivekananda says, “Faith is not a belief; it is the grasp of the ultimate as illumination”.

In nature, there is no perfect philosophy, perfect science, perfect religion, perfect knowledge, perfect human or a perfect plan. Nothing can be perfect in this man-made finite world. Everything in the universe is moving, expanding and changing. Irrespective of good and bad every movement is the cause for further development.

When we realize that nothing can be perfect, we will be completely integrated with nature. For example, during the Tsunami attack in South East Asia on December 26, 2004, the wild animals had already moved to safer zones of habitat. They instinctively sensed danger. The question is how did they decode the signs of the impending danger sent by nature, when the entire scientific world failed to warn about the imminent threat of Tsunami? The reason is simple. We, unlike the animals, have disconnected ourselves from nature and travelled far in to the world of materialistic pleasure. We have long lost the power to decode the sensitive vibrations of nature. Whenever vibrations reach us we are busy adding our selfish meaning to it, but the animals have remained far more receptive to the natural science of creation. The animals do not question nature or impose selfish thinking to such an event, they merely accept it, and survive.

When you cradle yourself in the bosom of nature, it takes care of you. Learning is not a process of abandoning nature. Somewhere in the process of building our own egocentric world, we have fatally forgotten the source we come from. Nevertheless, nature neither forgets nor forgives. It just balances its own creation.

Many of us are just thinking about personal comfort without thinking about the impact that will occur in the environment around us and the global environment a whole. Just because they feel have the money, we do not heed the warning and call to make energy savings.

“Ah, I was able to pay any existing electric bill. So it’s up to my dong to use electricity as they pleased me. I am able to buy fuel oil whatever I want, so it’s up I want to buy cars dong that wasteful like anything. “

Think about it: How much energy and resources should be wasted just because people want to enjoy real comfort they do not really need. How much energy and resources wasted just because they want to see appear prestigious.

People often buy things they do not need, replace the goods that should still be used only for reasons of boredom. We never thought about how much effort and resources damaged planet to meet the needs of our selfish.

Remember one thing: Your money can indeed buy gallons of fuel oil, but the money can not restore every liter of fuel oil that you have taken from nature took millions of years to produce fuel oil that you enjoy it.

Do not think about the comfort of your own life. At least think about the state of your generation, they have to live his life with all its resources are very limited because the act of parents, grandparents, and his ancestors in the past.

Then you would think, but do not we have an alternative energy such as bio-fuel, hydrogen, etc.? Still it’s not free, there are always to be sacrificed. Bio-fuel cause environmental damage due to fuel crops will require no small amount of land. Hydrogen is still expensive and not yet can be produced efficiently. What if our planet is
destroyed first before we can enjoy all the convenience of technology? Currently we race against time.

So many people in other parts of the world who desperately need every drop of fuel oil that we enjoy, every drop of water that we enjoy, and other basic things to support their lives. Frugality in all forms that you can. Do it for the world, do it for your future generations.

Of bio-energy conduction

By: Kody Dibble

          I believe the Human body is a receptive and conductive entity of a wide spectrum of energies. Energy that enables us, the individual’s to perfect the environment, psychology, and sociology of our surroundings. Perfection is seen individually, but ideas of perfection can be shared among a collective of individuals. In the same way that ideas of corruption can be shared among a collective of individuals who respond to the same assortment of stimuli. It has already been found that our body indeed produces and stabilizes an electric current of impulses. Neurons in the brain can be switched on and off by subsequent impulses of a certain frequency and origin and this maintained and controlled intelligent grid of inter-depend free-flowing energy signatures amazes me in every way possible. The main point of this inquiry is the idea of insisting conscious effort on the desired consequence and action and the relation it has with the energy of the body.

          I declare that, with the right amount of intention, (Will), Projection (Visualization), and Conscious Effort (Belief) the individual can produce an array of infinite possibilities. Infinite possibilities that in which can mean the difference between life and death, health, and sickness, disease, and cure, wealth, and well-being and so on. Both intention and projection have been a major part of the development of the civilizations of the world today, but Conscious Effort it seems, dwindled down almost to nothing. We became robotic negligent systems that delivered the same result over and over again. If we ever, at this time, went out of our normal routine in front of other peoples routines we were involved in they would most likely react drastically. But we’ve evolved from this, through language and creative intelligence we’ve established an also ever evolving stable mind of humanity, and even an index to categorize the aspects of it, the Internet. We tried in the best way we know to search for an extra-terrestrial presence, wave signaling. We are the forerunners and soul determinate of the destiny of ourselves and the beautiful planet we live on. On the other side of the coin currently conditions on our planet are terrible. The systems we use to get our resources and maintain them are vulgar to say the least and undermine the need for the preservation of Earth. Our governance has an agenda that feeds the mouth of a global pig, and starves the mouth of national citizen. They have outright lied to us, depreciated our original law and waged war in the sake of profit. So come and point, we need something to pull us out of the dump. We need something to roll us over and give us a hand to our feet. We know we are more than capable of doing just that.

          We are in a period of time that will forever be known for its conjunction of spirit and science and with this symbolism of balance and appreciation for that in which you are not, we realize we are still a part of that which we are not, making us that which we are. As I stated in the beginning of this article the Human body is a generator and facilitator of a wide variety of energies. May it be, amino acids creating protein’s or blood being carried through out or even more subtle energy flows like the established chakras. Our body syntax of known patterns of identity fulfills its goals in a steady meaningful fashion. We aren’t conscious of all the processes in our body but yet we know they continue unless something bad occurs. But if we consciously direct our good will intention to these processes’ through the law of attraction and thermodynamics with the now understood fact that our thoughts have substance it can only be assimilated that the desired consequence is more likely to happen. Under such conditions, the doubt of consideration seems to be a compulsive hinder in the bounds of our mind.

          In the foregone conclusion of this article I insist the individual reading to participate in acquiring a good will conscious and spread it to the people around them. That is all we need to fix the negative climate that surrounds us. So stay positive and keep on moving forward.

Having spent many years in the corporate world as an accountant I had often felt trapped in a life that was fraught with evils of many kinds, like the world economy, wars, the monopolising of food and basic life resources, media giants controlling us all, etc. I had also become poor because I had to sell almost everything I owned, including my five guitars, a drum kit, a great PA system, a recording system, and much more, to pay for the treatment of my heart condition and to feed and house my family.

Over this time of introspection I explored various cultural, theological and societal beliefs and practices, and I did a basic study of Quantum Physics, which awoke me to the truth of what matter really is. All matter is simply energy, which is basically a construct of atoms and subatomic particles; and all that is between any atom’s neutron and electrons is space, which also exists between each atom. More space than anything else. In fact, if the Big Bang singularity were to occur in reverse, as in an implosion, the entire universe would be reduced to the size of a single baseball.This fact blew me away; WOW.

I also studied a number of philosopher’s writings and found a renewed passion for poetry. One verse quoted from William Blake’s poem ‘Auguries of Innocence’ explains my thoughts:

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

A robin redbreast in a cage

Puts all heaven in a rage.

My basic study of Reiki struck me deeply and I started learning all I could about this wonderful belief and practice which was rediscovered and re-activated by Mikao Usui. This is The Divine Universal Life giving energy. And energy is atoms. There-from I deduced that everything and everyone on Earth, in the Universe in fact, are made of exactly the same basic compound – atoms. This resulted in my belief in there being ONE Life, based on ONE Creation, created from the ONE Energy.

From my thinking and studying I consequently also discovered that we, mankind, my own and your (our or my) forefathers and kin, have committed many crimes and wrongs against ourselves, mother earth, mother nature, our environment, and all elements in the Universe; all in humankind’s selfish quest for power, wealth and luxury. And I ascertained that certain world leaders of certain countries have committed the terrible crime of breaching mankind’s basic human rights to life, by warring against, colonizing, and controlling the weaker and lesser armed nations to claim their wealth, gold, resources, etc. And to think that some of these nations who’d been abused are/were the most peaceful nations on Earth. And their cultural rights were breached by wrongfully instituting the Western lifestyle and religion; by force.

As a result, I wrote the E-book ONE Life-Love-Energy plus many follow-up articles, and started the foundation. Thus the cause ‘Save Planet Earth – ONE Life – ONE Energy’ on Face-book and various other sites I created on the Internet to raise awareness, raise funds and do what we members can do to heal the planet and life on it.

Growing freedom has come to me over the past three years as I have understood many truths and became totally non materialistic. And a great deal of love, patience and compassion has filled my heart for those who really suffer from the actions of those who control the world order; now called the New World Order.

I have never felt freer, living each day for itself to heal, love, and empower people with the great Universal Life Force Energy channelling through me. This life feels so right, so good and fulfils my heart’s longing to love and heal.

Blessings in love and abundance to everyone and to all life.
