CONSCIOUSNESS CAN TRANSCEND PAIN.


Adults, protected behind their cognitive shield, have absolutely no idea to which magnitude of pain the child, whose sensorial window is wide open, can be confronted. It is just huge !

What I call a trauma is an impact of pain of such magnitude that it cannot be consciously encountered and integrated. In a survival reflex our organism has developped a capacity to block these impacts before they reach consciousness and this notably by chemically dyking them, endorphins, etc..

These traumas, remnant of the past, linger in us unresolved, like unexploded sea-mines which nonetheless can be triggered by external stimuli in the Present. Removed from our Real self which these traumas have contaminated, and identified with a fake and cognitive self made of thoughts, we are unconsciously driven by this unresolved past in us which tries to use the Present's events for its resolution.

The problem is the past is the past and there's no way for us to undo it by manipulating the Present. This is why, for instance, when a person unconsciously tries to get from his/her partner in the Present the love s(he) never got from his/her parents in the past, this adventure most often miserably fails.

For this reason we say: "before you do, BE". The Present Instant which is INFINITE in its essence and is constantly renewed in its form, is the sole place for us to meet with Reality and this includes the Reality which was not met in the past because too painful.

When we remain at the tip of the Present Instant long enough, what was hidden and frozen in us will eventually melt, come to the surface - as tears for instance - and altogether leave us.

Yet, even if we are twisted by unresolved pains, when we succeed remaining at the tip of the Present Instant, the INFINITE BEING/consciousness is unveiled in us, as long as we do not refuse anything that unfolds and rise in our depth. OBSERVATION is the main tool we have for this process to succeed.

A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD

The IPCC warned us in its latest report, that we should bring back our CO2 emissions to 50% of what they were in the year 1990 and this before 2020, if we want to keep our planet within the 2° degrees. And the IPCC bases this prevision on the most optimistic scenario. Indeed, during the last decades, the scientists forcasts about Global Warming have been constantly revised upwards. The cascading effet is pretty uncertain and, for instance, we don't know the exact impact of CH4 emissions through the warming of the oceans and the melting of the permafrost. Lima Conference on Climate ends with ridiculous and criminal decisions about CO2 reduction: Reducing CO2 emissions from 40% by 2050 is just nonsense. You can no more haggle over with Global Warming that, for instance, you can haggle over with a fire that transforms your house in a furnace. You cannot say to the blaze: "stop, wait 20 minutes until the firemen arrive". The United States found $ 3000 billion just for I

DIRECTLY CAPTURING CO2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE

Image
Direct air capture is the process of chemically scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and then storing it either underground or in long-lived products. This new technology is similar to the carbon capture and storage technology used to capture emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities. The difference is that direct air capture removes excess carbon directly from the atmosphere, instead of capturing it at the source.  It is relatively straightforward to measure and account for the climate benefits of direct air capture, and its potential scale of deployment is enormous. But the technology remains costly and energy-intensive. It is often difficult to pin down costs for new direct air capture technologies, but a 2018 study estimates that it would cost about $94-$232 per metric ton. Earlier estimates were higher.  Direct air capture also requires substantial heat and power inputs: scrubbing 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide from the air could require ne

What can you do to save the planet Earth?

What can you do to save the planet Earth? You might have had this question popping up in your mind – “What can I do alone to save the environment?” Actually, there are thousands of people like you who have the similar thought in mind, amidst that dilemma and hesitation, no one’s taking a step. But you, alone, have the power to initiate, and those thousands will eventually follow you. No step is a small step, and every contribution matters in its own way. While caring for the planet isn’t a matter to be saved for June 5, however, it’s a good time to start today and take the pledge to do whatever you can, in order to achieve a sustainable environmental development. Organize a cleaning drive: That’s something you can easily do! You have organized parties before, this time, organize a cleaning drive. Call your friends, friends of friends, office colleagues, acquaintances and family members to be a part of this act. Gather in your neighbourhood or a popular market area and clea
