THE KNOWN AND THE NEW



When we enter our bathroom, look at ourself in the mirror and start brushing our teeth, this situation occurs in the here & now and therefore is perfectly new. It should be experienced as a pure and enchanting discovery. Yet, because of the hundreds of times we entered the same bathroom, behaving in the same way and having nearly the same movements, we lost the magical newness of the Present Instant and our thinking mind covers the newness and uniqueness of the moment with the memory-cloak of the known which is composed of the many other similar situations imprinted in our psyche.
Even though it doesn't seem, this "knownification" or rusting of the Present Instant is a deadening defensive mechanism that hides the light of BEING in us. Indeed, since Reality's ISness is INFINITE, and therefore nonlocal and timeless, all the different situations of our life share this timeless and INFINITE ground. This includes the experiences too painful to be consciously met that linger incognito in us. This is why as to avoid encountering these unresolved pains our organism in its great wisdom expells us from Reality's ground which could reveal what we are not ready to meet, and enclose us in a fake self, made of thoughts with which we identify: we have been transformed into the known that covers and hides the new.
Living in the known of our thought-identity is necessary if we want to keep repressed in us experiences which were too painful to be consciously met by the vulnerable child. The knownification we experienced in our bathroom occurs all the time and in nearly all the situations of our everyday life. The truth is we are prisoners of the known. The enchantment of discovery and its natural thrill are lost and our life becomes a dull and repeating boredom. This is then that we start postponing our hope for a better life in some future times, maybe some kind of Paradise promised by a thought-God or the Progress proposed by materialism ?
But meanwhile we shoot ourself with all the stimuli, evasions, distractions, drug addictions of many types, and of course all the strange sexual perversions which our Consumer Society in its great compassion graciously provides for us .. of course if we pay the price. In fact, just like for Pinocchio in the Pleasure Island, the price is very heavy, this is our whole planet which now is going up in smoke ! Better retrieve the Real again ! So, we look after the Blue Fairy of Reality's INFINITE ISness, who's right beneath this dreadful and dark illusion

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
