SAMHAIN


The Feis na Samhain (pronounce Sawen), one of the four major pre-Christian festivals of the ancient Ireland, was held on the evening of 31 October into the following day, 1 November and until the sun rose.

It marked the end of one pastoral year and the commencement of the next. It was also an intensely spiritual event during which TIME was put aside and people were invited to focus on BEING within them which is Reality's INFINITE essence.

INFINITY was symbolized in the Mother Goddess Dana's figure, also known as the Goddess of all Waters, oceanic as well as lustral. INFINITY generates forms and existences within itself like a mother does. In short the Samhain was a feast where one could officially encounter INFINITY through oneself.

The Tuatha Dé Danaan were the proto-Celts also known as the Children of Dana or the Children of the Light. They came from the North (the White Island and its four very advanced cities). After the last mini Ice Age that occured some 12900 years ago, the Tuatha left the Arctic Circle and travelled to the Western Ireland where they burnt their vessels in sign they would remain there.
The Christians who wanted to impose their faith and erase everything that could remain from this great Celtic spirituality presented it as a pagan polytheism which was not true of course. The Tuatha Dé Danaan's spirituality was a pure monotheism where the unique INFINITY (ARD), expressed itself through a multitude of faces, just like in Zoroastrianism or Hinduism, for instance, which pantheons correspond to the different attributes of a unique Divinity.

When a spiritual revelation springs and becomes the source of a religion it is always an encounter with Reality's INFINITE essence, and therefore it can only be a monotheism. This is when people are identified with their thoughts, and therefore "think" the Divine through a cognitive fragmentation, instead of experiencing it as the INFINITE unity of BEING, that they may generate polytheism.
Measuring the importance of the Samhain feast, the Christians assimilated this event by renaming it 'the All Saints Day'. Later the Samhain was ridiculed as the Hallowe'en Night with ugly ghosts, witches and sorcerers. People identified with their thoughts have hard time saying: "I don't know", this is why they caricature what they cannot understand which threatens their memorized self.
For a person identified with thoughts the more memorized stuff is gathered under skull, the greater the thought-self seems to be.

On the other hand, for the person who's back to BEING within, this is Reality's INFINITE intelligence that is central and thought intelligence is just an assisting accessory like an integrated computer for instance.

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
