WHAT MAKES A GREAT NATION ?




The physicist Bernard d'Espagnat said that at the level of Reality's ISness there is violation of the principle of separability. In other words, Reality's ISness stops nowhere that could constitute a separation and break its boundless unity. It is an INFINITE yet sizeless continuum. This means the forms that compose the universe have no other Reality than INFINITY itself. If we remove Reality's INFINITE ISness nothing remains from the 500 billion galaxies that compose the universe, zero.

This is why we should be interested in what means INFINITY and not brush it aside under the pretext it is ungraspable by our thoughts and calculations. INFINITY is not a concept it is Reality's very ISness and we experience it as BEING in us.

When we concentrate our attention on BEING in us we realize it is one with OBSERVATION. Yes, BEING is OBSERVATION. And this OBSERVATION excludes our thoughts since the OBSERVATION I'm talking about includes observing our thoughts too and this makes them stop automatically. Try and you'll see.

There, when we watch the world in the Present Instant, and not from behind the disconnecting screen of our thoughts which makes us travel on the virtual stream of TIME, we OBSERVE directly INFINITY in its manifestations, their relations with each other and their movements. This experience is essentially what the true spiritual people reported all around the planet and across the ages. They all made the very same experience. Spirituality is not something our thoughts can improvise.

The Native Americans like the Sioux Lakotas for instance, were experts in spiritual knowledge. They were experiencing the unity of Reality's INFINITE ISness and its profound PEACE in their everyday life. They knew that BEING within them was one with the sheer and limitfree OBSERVATION in the Instant. They were consciously part of Nature and knew its depth was bottomless and spiritual. And for that they profoundly respected all its expressions. For them a crow was much more than a crow and a river much more than a river because they saw their INFINITE ISness through their own experience of this ISness or BEING in them.

The spiritual knowledge of the Sioux Lakotas was huge and they were truly a civilized people. If, instead of exterminating them, the Settlers would have been more humble and accepted to learn from their wisdom, America could have been an amazing nation instead of a surface one.

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

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

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
