The Luxury Of life Part.2

Nature and life merge at an interesting junction, the very first expressions of life on this planet were expressed through a very specific chemical material called carbon. Life forms that managed to survive (by conforming to the natural laws) evolved or got more complex with time, from a chemical perspective it assembled more carbon mass or a more complex expression of it.


Today we can find some very complex organisms living in present time side by side to very simple and primitive ones, a whole spectrum of life, built in the shape of a pyramid where the most basic often support the most complex.


Throughout our evolution as a species, as well as in more modern times, we have been fighting for our existence as humans. We have created various structures for our societies, which have reached the highest form of complexity in the systems of governments we are seeing today. The majority of our societies have guaranteed their existence by relying on strong armies in order to defend against other human societies.


In the midst of all of that evolving, we were also given the tools to separate ourselves from many of the laws of nature, given the ability to examine them, pick and choose the ones we like. Lately we are also gaining the awareness to evaluate the consequence of our losing touch with those natural laws.


All of these new abilities have developed while we have been living in societies under the rule of law, and under the reality that we needed to defend ourselves, our values, etc.. A society that would decide to not take the martial reality into account might not be as strong and thriving as other societies, or at least that's what it seems like considering there isn't such a society on this planet today.


Back when we were still living in the wild, our species spread across the planet, which coincided with the eradication of most megafauna animals. The reason we were able to depart from the condition of defending against other animals and conforming to the rules of nature, is for the fact that we excelled at conforming to the laws of nature and conquered the world under those laws, till we could make those laws anew.


There might come a time where we can excel at the modern way of existing, and we can reinvent ourselves to a place where semi-martial aware leaders can take office. These leaders will understand the martial reality, evade it and give no hand to it. They will need to understand the fighting game, and create the right climate that will push the aggressive leaders out of control for being destructive. They will prepare the ground for the next line of leaders, when the time is right. Leaders from different walks of life, ones who are completely peaceful, without any hand in organizations who kill people, and without the need to defend. Leaders who can only focus on creating life, enhancing this planet with it and spreading it through the galaxy. These leaders will need to be very connected again to the laws of nature, this time however, assisting it from the outside, with a sense of gratitue for being alive.

The Luxury Of Life Part.1

There is an interesting term in Biology called Biomass, it means the total mass of organisms in a given area or volume. It is given that that volume or mass can change to become more or less in that given area. What is interesting is when the biomass of an area grows, how does it affect other adjacent areas. Live things tend to grow both by eating other life forms, as well as by utilizing sun energy in a process made by plants, called photosynthesis.
Basically what this means is that the biomass in area A can grow by depleting the biomass in area B, if there were animals that ate what was in area B, or if we are talking about a biomass that is plant derived, it could be growing regardless of what happens to area B biomass.


This is all very nice, we all know that every area has something to do with other areas in our planetary sytem, and there is no way for area A not to have an effect on area B, C etc.. however the term is very specific and limited, it really only talks about area A regardless of all other areas, and that does help keep things simple, even though it doesn't take everything into account.


What is of interest for me in this whole discussion is to look at our entire planet's biomass. Can it grow? can it wither? and what effect would that have?
We do know it gets complexified over time, which seems to be some sort of a purpose for the life force, and we entertain ourselves that as time passes, the living things are also moving in a direction or higher intelligence, and fine tuning the expression of this life force. It also seems that when we recognize the expression of this life force, we see that it follows a different set of rules than the ones ruling living bodies. These are all interesting topics, but lets get back to the original concept of this blurb.


Can the earth biomass grow or wither? If it grows, where will the extra life come from? Can there be more biomass than there is currently? Is there life anywhere else?
We do know that life can wither on this planet with a little help from our friend, the A bomb. And we don't even need to go this far, we are destroying this planet with chemicals, plastic, chopping forests and etc which makes it easy to see how the planet can support less life than it was likely able to a few hundred years ago, considering the half life time of many of these materials.


Since life force of this planet can wither, I will also assume it could grow, and I will consider it growing as a beneficial thing, even when facing the fact that adding more people hasn't proved to be very helpful in this regard thus far in our history.


Which brings me to the obvious conclusion: if people learn to control their destructive urges, develop a real understanding and appreciation of life, we can bring about a great positive change, and support the development on life in the galactic creation.


This should be regarded as common sense, however it still seems that the majority of people don't think in these terms, don't understand them, and obviously don't act on them, which creates a big problem. We destroy ourselves, we destroy the planet, and we destroy life, not being true to its nature. We need to find who we are, what we are, what's the truth and what's the lie.
We might need to shake and break some fundamental structures in our societies, which some people might not like, and might hurt the deep pockets of others.


Going deeper into the topic I brought up earlier, life force does work under a different set of rules than the ones governing living bodies; one of the ways that demonstrates that is, our spirit recognizes other beings, it loves them, harmonizes with them and appreciates them, while our bodies' livelihood depends on eating/preying on other life forms of one sort or another (you can say that the price for our being here is in flesh and blood, and for that matter, the price of any living thing is the life of other living things, or sun and water, though even plants synthesize organic matter). While this seems to contradict, notice how none of this is harmful to the environment; if anything it supports the balance of the environment in mysterious ways.
Living things are able to fight for their existence and so destroy other living things, but that is never done in a way that can threaten the environment's ability to adapt and develop forward as a result.


So basically as an expression of life, we have brought forth many things that were not available prior, some of which are the ability for commercial destruction of this place. Expressing our destructive part through non organic ways, and taking it out of the balanced place it once had, which all other life forms still posses. These urges then took a life of their own to become compulsive, addictive, they need to be contained and brought back to their original place, under a greater reason.


They say money is the source of all evil, which is one side of the coin... but looking into this side of it, many people do worship money first before life. That is an introduction of a fundamental non organic concept that can't have a life of its own and shouldn't be regarded as if it does. Priorities do need to be installed in their right place.


There are many minute examples of how this concept comes about, not many people are capable of grasping the big picture, but the establishment of the bigger picture will help people walk on the right tracks on a personal level

It's a new year, and it's time to come to a few realizations about ourselves and the world we live in. The life on this beautiful planet has been evolving over millions of years and it has culminated in all the life forms we see around us including ourselves.

There are many riches to this planet on many levels, and we the people and life forms inhabiting it, are linked together by the natural order. This natural order is too important to let it die neglected or kill it obliviously.

We have excelled in developing ourselves, and our technologies. But we've been awful at staying true to ourselves, honoring this place, and the bodies we were given.

It's a time to make a strong reflection. The habits that we never give a second thought to, it's time to analyze them and find which ones contribute to the health of this system, and which we need to modify and channel to a better outcome. It's time to rise to the next level, to use our best talent and reinvent this place, reinvent ourselves, our desires and needs. Time to find how we can create and direct our riches in the direction that'll benefit us all. How to combine our roots into a better style of living, one that adheres to and promotes the natural order, and is not dictated by egocentric purposes.

It's a good time to obliterate our nasty side that makes us consume ridiculous objects, filled with chemicals and other components that defile our inner system, and a good time to find habits that'll make us more active. To support jobs and group efforts that enhance and give real value back to this planet, and it wouldn't hurt if we could also put some thought on how to make better incentives to do just that.

This is a good time to move forward from those silly notions of the past. To develop onward and realize how empty and meaningless they are. Shouldn't be that hard.

​Happy New Years!

The Spiritual Revolution

We are all familiar with various revolutions that took place in our history. Most profound ones are probably the agriculture revolution 12,000-15,000 years ago, and the Industrial revolution some 200 years ago.

One major revolution that seem to be left out is the Spiritual revolution. Started over 3,000 years ago as Judaism. In a time when most humans practiced polytheistic religions came one of the first monotheistic religion, and preaching for high morals and ethics, placed a mirror for the rest of the world to compare itself to. Needless to say they were hated pretty much from the start for that gift.

Later on Judaism became the foundation for other religions such as Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i faith. As it also laid the foundation for the western world we know today among others.

The Jewish faith managed to survive all sorts of mishaps as a result of it's high correspondence to the power of life. It managed to demonstrate many achievements on many fronts of progress throughout it's existence. It did so together with other religions and people that built themselves on it's principles. By doing that it demonstrated its validity and helped to enlighten and enhance the world.

God is Love!
Peace.

The ways of Governments

Don't know about democracies and dictatorships anymore. 

What I see is catabolic governments that explicitly don't represent their people, instead rob them and exploit them, and are on a perverted financial decline as a whole.

I see governments that claim to be anabolic, with a record of being disproportionally anabolic, but are now in a plateau, the past growth created many weak links as a result, and produced many injuries that halt the past growth. A continuous plateau is destined to decline unless the weak links are addressed, injuries fixed and a more responsible balance achieved, which would allow for a healthier growth.

And I see places where people seem to feel represented by their government, feeling that their representative are being transparent and genuinely care for the well being of the population which in part returns the affection, and the environment which is part and parcel of that harmony.

The human experience spinning out of Life.

12/26/2015

Picture
Humans together with rest of the apes share a common characteristic, and that is the fact that a very big percent of our behavioral patterns are learned, verses more of an instinctive predisposition in other animals.

In the very recent modern humans however, this very fact is coming back to bite us in our behind!
Becoming the species that takes the longest time for its infants to reach independence allowed us to learn and teach the secrets of our environments to our young with great success, however nowadays that we are so removed and detached from it, we also lost touch with our roots and connection to life.

Once forming our random opinions regarding what we conceive to be food, we constantly injure ourselves with our consumption, mistakenly believing that our degeneration stem from chronological age and laziness. We have developed the ability to sense lust for various substance, and secrete enzymes and saliva to the sight of things unrecognized by our inner environment.

Similarly we got so accustomed to bodily shapes that never used to exist (with correlating health issues), that they are now considered normal and are fully accepted. While it is the reality we live in and one would naively say who are we to judge, one need to be blind not to. I am not looking to put blame on no one in particular, not even on us as a society, but I feel it is important to recognize the situation as it is, especially since the answers to it been around us since before we even appeared, and since during recent times even science managed to prove lots of our misconceptions about them, the reason to point this out is that we could actually do a lot about it individually and as a society.

It is hard and often disheartening to write, talk and work with this issue, however I feel a strong obligation to pursue it as there is so much proven science about it. I have so much proven results to show with myself (having same background as anyone else in our times) and other people I worked with. And I am still looking for the venue to be able to put this knowledge out there on the much larger scale that it deserves.

We are a new and genius species, And our geniuses has so far cost us a heavy price!

Structural evolution has progressed by the use of bodies and the adaptation of muscle formation to changes in movement needs and environmental demands, without any conscious awareness of that change, over periods of millions of years. Nowadays with human physical development, we have the science of biomechanics with regards to our bodies,  and there for we are able to design practices that would cause calculated changes in our physic for better of worst.

Likewise with our diet, while our digestive system modified as a result of changing circumstances, we now have the scientific knowledge  of the way that system works, and there for we have the means to get more accurate and articulated results out of it, by optimizing its use.

Theoretically we should be as advanced in our health  as we are with our technological developments, however as close as this issue is to our hearts, seems like there are many things in the way of achieving that one, individual reasons and social ones.

I am all hope that we would learn to work around those quickly and restore our health back to the way it should be.

Functional World Revolution

In the world species come to life and go extinct for the average time of 4 million year each.
In the duration of that time the species live in his natural habitat mostly in a very healthy condition of most of its specimens, which is in regardless of his preferable diet, it is just born into a balanced environment, and eco system that supplies all of its needs in abandon.

In the Human species we have lost that place of balance a while ago, and we are not in a place of abandonment for our needs with most of mankind, we have diverted from the place of balance when we changed our diet we were designed to eat, and as you know mind and body, energy determine structure and vice versa, once the body is out of alignment it will affect the course of the spiritual development.

Since that diversion happened we have developed tremendously with our abilities and technologies and basically took over the planet and put it in our control to an extent, however coming from a spiritual place of lack, of under nourishment and not taking care for our basic needs, we have failed to put the planet under the kind of control that would provide the natural blessing of abundance to all of our specimen.

We live in a society where many forces take place, those forces are natural forces that work on people and societies, forces that put together communications between living organisms in all levels of complexity and awareness, and those same natural forces takes place in our most complex governing systems, however since the organisms that are mostly involved in those communications are humans that for the most case have lost their natural connection to their bodies and there for not living in a balanced state even though they have reached places of great power, it is impossible to expect that the natural forces that are used by those individuals be in the right proportions for the coordination of our efforts as a species to care for each of our individuals to live in health and wealth as we are capable of as this planet has all the resources to do so.

Same like a body, where his cells are not provided with correct nourishment and are not existing happily,  were the person in that body will find it hard to lead a happy life, same is for our species, were big portions of our population are living in lack, that inhibit the well being of all of us as a whole.

With that said I must mention that in every tribe or animal pack there are always the strongest that get the best shares and the weakest that sometimes get disposed of, however that is in the micro, for I am looking obviously in the macro here.
This planet is a ball of energy, raw matter, where life energy been applied onto it for millions of years, affecting it and changing it.
And look at what life does to matter in the micro, when a living organism come to life, it starts as some kind of a yolk, that yolk have a sperm at one end of it that slowly surround it until it fully covers it, and then, a layer of muscles slowly ending up covering that yolk, while inner organs grow as well, and all of that happen using the yolk energy and building materials.

Once that work is done, the new born might already in the free world or still within his mothers belly, but eventually the specimen will learn how to use all of those muscles, to coordinate them together and create the full range of movement he was born to perform, basically taking the original power and agents of the raw yolk material and applying them for the purpose of his DNA or whatever other purpose he can conceive of using it for, hence, the raw energy converts into coordinated muscle mass that integrate a joint effort of all the living cells to create a further outcome that  is specific and determined by the awareness of the species.

Well this is in the micro, because in the macro, our species hasn’t got yet to the awareness of where it would like to go and how to harness the planet energy for the fact that it hasn’t managed to aligne all the muscles of its society, in other words, as long as we have war, genocide and famine, it basically means that we haven’t managed to take care of aligning ourselves as a species, as mankind, for the discovery of our purpose on this plant.

It would take the discipline of us conquering our genetic code, learning how to control our need to create these phenomenons; it would take us learning how to get back in balance before we can successfully align our species- Homo sapiens together.

Arabs

The Arabs are remarkably awesome people. They are known for their rich culture and hospitality. In colonial times they were knows as courageous warriors, they were very innovative people, they won many battles and had a huge empire. They stood out among other civilizations at those times for being most modern and able, and as a result they still have today a very big portion of the world map for their peoples.

Unfortunately since then they let a group of selfish regimes take over their freedom, and gone into long decades of stagnation.

But now days it is their time to rise again, Arabs are taking their first steps at realizing the situation they had created for themselves, and they are taking the first steps in changing the ways their countries are being run, again, showing great amounts of courage.

Another unfortunate point that holds the majority of Arab population today back is the fact that they hold a lot of anger and frustration, which as itself keeps prosperity and success away from them.

Up until these lines it is all well known as the current situation; however there is something that is being missed by many sides in this developing situation, and that something is fact that best things for the Arabs people nowadays, the thing that has the most power to help them with the change they are seeking, the biggest present the world gave to this big nation of Arab people, is the state of Israel and their Israeli brothers.

Unfortunately many Arabs and Israelis are missing on this point.

If you put aside the fact that many Arabs hold anger and Israeli society is protecting itself against that anger, a fact that create lots of sad stories and spread anger, if you put that fact aside, who do you think is capable of delivering the Arabs with the tools to create a new prospering culture, who knows the Arabs the best, and understand their mentality and needs, who is the closest nation to those Arab states that hold the most modern technology and any sort of knowledge in the world, as well as strong character people with a big heart to share and better the condition of these poor people.

I know it is not easy to see through all the thick layers of public relations that been playing big part around the world, years of media work dedicated to the preservation of hate and anger, helping nations across the globe to pick sides in this silly story, what will the world do if we take this awesome story away, where will the world find such a reliable source of news???
As much as I hate giving up on such a great source of stories, not even mentioning all the money industries that are living on it, and the rates of unemployment this could cause.

Isn’t it time we look at the real story here.

We are first of all Human, before any religion or other divisive notion.
Human societies developing in various areas had to develop certain ways to help them survive on their land, Arab societies grew in very harsh land, people of the desert mostly, some tough nation, maybe not as lucky as other civilizations that had easier time developing, with less competition on food sources etc, maybe lucky in other ways for they did earned their toughness.

Overall the rainbow has lots of colors; every society has its place. But in these days, communication brings the world together, some of the ways we human needed to be in order to survive, can’t hold true to the new millennia, its time for the Arabs to come out of the stagnation, don’t let your ‘haters’ hold you back, time to excel again and show the world that the ability and potential you once had are still with us.

These are new times, no longer times of colonialism and witch hunts. These are times of modern technologies and human rights.

These are times when we only keep on the table what’s relevant; bullshit doesn’t sell so well anymore.

Time to put away the angry stories, the silly religious stories. Time to see where the various cultures stands today in relation to progress and evolution, joining hands and doing what it takes to fix damages once created.
We, the progressed nations, have the tools to help other nations to step up their game, and we are doing it little by little to everyone’s advantage.

So when is the wall breaking? Who will seize the opportunity?

The new creation story

12/26/2015

Comments

 
Picture
Homo species started existing some 2.5 million years ago, Homo erectus was one of the earliest ones to go out of Africa and colonize Asia and Europe, and developed to various hominids, which ended up becoming various ethnic groups, also erectus was of the first hunter gatherer societies.

All nice and good, brain size been increasing in size among the various kinds of Homo evolving around the world, around 10,000 years ago, homo sapience diverge from his diet and invent agriculture, still a species living in the nature, having languages that are quite developed, our species start to have a consciousness of its difference from nature, possibly due to the fact that our diet at this point is completely un-natural and causing lots of problem with our new life styles, which we don’t quite know how to explain.

However with this new bred consciousness, some societies starting to consider themselves as sons of gods, in particular the Jewish, the Japanese, possibly other culture that has various gods at this point, and as that they establish the first strong ethnic connections known to us today.
Other groups adopted other notions of god and prophets, some in a more humble ways.

Agriculture is traced back to have started in the Middle East some 12,000-15,000 years ago.
While the first academic institution traces back to be a more recent invention by Muslim society, Judaism has been one of the strong religions that came early to effect big portions of the world, probably due to the fact that in this area we been deviating from our original diet for the longest, and had the most time to solidify unnatural ideas.

Asian societies seemed to have been paying closer observation to nature since they had come with more holistic philosophies that are closer in resemblance to nature; however they too had their share of mysticism.

Other tribe of homo sapience had other believe. Though not as well established since agriculture took many thousands of years to spread.

As for the Jewish people, once they got scattered across the globe, their strength of conviction and the results that their life styles offered, must have left a big impression on other races, as they have been recruited large number of homos from various races into the mix, other races that must have dropped their believes in order to join a stronger force that proved to have certainty mixed with things to show for it.

Other religions also originated at that region possibly due to similar circumstances, and followed similar route.

Various religions and ideologies didn’t recognized the validity of others, and since as a species we always liked to fight nearby tribes (like chimps like to do), we started using those religions and following stories, together with the bloody history that existed, to justify further killing and blood shed.

And this bring us to the point today, were we still kill other humans for belonging to other race or ethnic group, still build our cause on religious reasons or other political reason, though completely ignoring our history and the way we developed and brought up together as a species, developing from chimps into so many spectacular varieties, and ways of living.

Religion is an important tool to develop faith, and faith brings with it the ability to develop discipline, which is important in order to acquire skills in nowadays reality, our reality is very creative, a lot already had been done, and in order to renew, there is a need to have a lot of knowledge about what had been created in order to better it, that takes vision, faith and discipline.

This kind of creation that been taking place were at times probably enhanced by religious ideas, where the values that had been taught in religious places could help people in their spiritual development, and produced better individuals obviously, however there were always the war mongers, the ones who like to use religious for it’s darker sides.

While that always took place in the past, now there are a growing number of people that been fed up with this tendency of religious organizations. Plus many of the spiritual tools had been distilled and are now being taught in regardless of religions with great results, developing and teaching humans all of those personal skills.

Still there is a lot of confusion about this issue, since with the loss of religion there becomes a void, a lack of substance, and superficiality can infiltrate in.

A good solution to that I find in knowing more about where we come from and who we really are.

Now of course everyone knows of evolution, and that we came from apes, and Neanderthals, but do we really KNOW it? We all still think we are so different from nature, that somewhere we are sons of gods, and not animals like chimps and Neanderthals. And that is exactly what I mean.

If there were a Neanderthal among us today (and there really are) they aren’t doing so badly, even though they didn’t invent what we have here today back then.

We are those Hominids, we still develop, the stories we made were very nice but they don’t serve us anymore, they hold us back now.
Our deviation from nature is holding us back, our commercial diet is holding us back, science is yet to come with a diet as good as the one Mother Nature had for us.

Time to drop holding on to believes and ideas that are so far from the obvious truth about us, time to realize who we are, and connecting to those notions, so that we can better live in peace with each other, so that we can be healthier, and so we can truly protect what is here to protect before it is too late. Time to know the dangers within our nature, so that we can better defend ourselves against ourselves.

A Lost World

We are living in a world that lost the will to be free. Looking around you, you’ll see people that are a disgrace to their genes. We work in boring offices, not being in the sun and we eat all kind of commercial foods and other substances that our bodies can’t recognize. We use chemicals in vain hope that they would heal our ailments. We are slaves to debt, sleep deprived, prone to stress, entertaining ourselves with alcohol and other poisons, and we are as far as can be from the natural life we were designed to live.

Funny thing is that we constructed our lives to be this way with our own hands, therefore we own it, and then on the same coin, we hate it!

Being brought up in a system, we buy into it and adopt it without a question, fooling ourselves to think we do question it; we buy into other dogmas which are just as un-natural for us.

Unavoidably,  we breed weakness in ourselves, for by the time we do see a path that is natural and healthy, we are skeptical about it, unable to recognize its value, we criticize it and fail to follow it.

The good news is that nowadays things are changing. There is a new generation coming up now. A generation that hasn’t made all of these mistakes yet and hence doesn’t have the need to prove that those mistakes were actually right doings. A generation that won’t be following this system anymore…

Everything is changing nowadays. Dinosaur  money makers that used to be huge are now extinct. New ideas are springing up, and people find new trends and ways to make money nowadays. Ways that wouldn’t have worked a few decades ago, needs that were not recognized.

Darwin’s natural selection is the call of the day. Species that were able to modify themselves into the changing environment, survived. While species that failed to do so always went extinct.

Good news is that the new way is much more in tune with our nature, and is much more fun to follow.

Be Flexible, be Strong, and Endure, Don’t go extinct! Think fresh!
