ON BEING ALIVE



I like the walking meditation for two main reasons. First you are meditating in Real situation and not removed in a special position and a special place. Then, when you OBSERVE what IS while walking, you clearly experience the transformation of the Present Instant at each step, and the fakeness of your thought-identity becomes as obvious as a little cloud in the vast sky.

Also, the walking meditation can be applied to many circumstances of your everyday life. It is a good beginning for a full meditating life where you can be on the BEING mode whatever you do. It must be remembered that meditation consists exclusively in OBSERVING what IS. You can practise it while at work, mostly manual tasks, while cooking your meal, drinking your coffee, reading your newspaper, or even playing with your children.

The main goal of meditation consists in not being absorbed in your thinking mind and not living withdrawn in the cognitive bubble of your thoughts and their removed world. To OBSERVE what IS, just here and now, doesn't need TIME, it is instant and is not the result of any preparation. You just shift from the thinking mode to the BEING mode and here you ARE, as you've always been, but you were absent, removed in your thoughts, their virtual Time and multiple constructions of dread, hope and other sorts of distractions.

To be mentally busy often helps you not facing your inner emptiness. Yet, I would like that you rather experience and totally embrace this emptiness which is but the INFINITE consciousness. The plenitude of LIFE is the other side of emptiness and only exist in this emptiness, just like the 500 billion known galaxies exist in the cosmic void. There is nothing to get in this emptiness, this is why for a person running after HAVING, it may seem destabilizing. In this emptiness you just ARE, and the experience of this ISness is pure discovery, an always renewed experience which is fresh and ALIVE

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
