A MATTER OF COMMUNICATION.



 We are multiplying our communication devices and networks on planet Earth yet, we must admit this doesn't help soothing violence and conflicts. Even the contrary, the terrorist networks blossom on the Net and gradually cyber-attaks are filling the front News. This has a reason: the most fundamental connection without which no subsequent connection can truly be linking us together, is the return to BEING, or Reality's INFINITE ISness in us, which substance is pure consciousness.

When pains, too big to be consciously encountered, violate the fetus, the newborn baby and the young child's brain, s(he) is disconnected from Reality inside and takes shelter into a fake and abstract self made of thoughts with which s(he) identifies. These fake and cognitive identities are in fact closed upon themselves and they can only imitate communication with the external world since Real communication passes through BEING in us which they hide. This is then that we recourse to thought-systems, ideologies, cultures, religions and all these artefacts that artificially and fakely link us together and therefore become utterly important for us. Because of our unresolved pains, secretely pushing from inside, we become able to kill for an idea.

Indeed, this disconnection from who we Really ARE explains why even though our world is technologically hyper-connected in all directions and at all levels, humans continue blindly fighting each other, tearing apart our planetary community with divisions, conflicts and violences of many kinds and magnitudes.

Humankind's main disease is identification with thoughts and therefore disconnection from BEING within us. As long as this disease is not cured we may build as much connective networks as we want we'll remain locked up into our thought-shells colliding with each other as violently as a ball in a pinball machine. We build monstrous weapons to anhilate those who do not "think" like we do, and, as a consequence, always more complex shields to protect us against the weapons they build too.

Identification with thought is Humankind greatest problem. Have you ever observed how a drop of water frantically jiggles on a hot stove before it evaporates ? This is the same for our thought-identity which hides its fakeness within its vibrating febrility.

Right now two antagonist forces are fighting each other, wasting huge amounts of energy in their confrontation. One of these forces tries to bring down the barriers. It builds marvellous communication networks showing treasures of inventiveness to get the world together. The other force is the right opposite to the first one. It builds ramparts, walls, fences and fortifications as protective tools which, at the end of the day, isolate and divide the world even more.

Humankind's Prairie Schooner is blocked right in the middle of Globalization's ford by these two forces neutralizing each other while the waters of Global Warming are dangerously growing. I know there's none as blind as the one who doesn't want to see but it is urgent we open our eyes and realize that this schizophrenic madness we are spreading everywhere comes from the disconnection from BEING in us. Stop identifying with your thoughts in your head and come back to Reality's ground which is BEING in you and which is pure consciousness, the only consciousness there "IS".

For Hegel, the most important achievement of German Idealism, starting with Kant and culminating in his own philosophy, was the demonstration that Reality's ISness is Consciousness or Spirit. Well, this is also what Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Christianity, Sufism, or any other true spirituality says. The difference with Hegel is meditation dynamically experiences BEING within the human envelope by stopping identification with thoughts while philosophy is a thought-system that only allows us to "think" about it and therefore keeps us prisoner.

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

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
