A beautiful non-denominational “universal” temple in Madras

Room for 1000 meditators and a lovely garden are in this special place...
A beautiful non-denominational "universal" temple in Madras
Room for 1000 meditators and a lovely garden are in this special
place… surrounded by many streets of hectic trafic and buildings and
shops of drastically different wealth.


When “I” and “You” are absent, I’ve no idea if this is a mosque,
synagogue, church or temple.

Daniel asks:

What do you think it’s going to take for more of us to grasp the
seriousness of our situation? How would you describe those conditions
that are going to provoke us to really change?

I think that all conditions are provoking us to really change. (more…)

Renewable Energy Round Table

Listening to :

DESI : http://www.defgllc.com/DESI.php

Subsidies?? what is the government doing? how are subsidies impacting job creation?

?Wind and hydro are the most economic?
?Solar and Fuel cels, dependent on subsidy and future technology development?

immediate impact:?:
demand response
energy efficiency, portability of fuel cels

wind is the strongest player… nanotech is an unknown futuristic enigma…

Important Lyrics

A TIME TO LOVE

We have time for racism
We have time for criticism
Held bondage by our ism’s
When will there be a time to love

We make time to debate religion
Passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgements
When will there be a time to love

At this point in history we have a choice to make
To either walk a path of love
Or be crippled by our hate

We have time to cause pollution
We have time to cause confusion
All wrapped up in our own illusions
When will there be a time to love

We make time to conquer nations
Time for oil exploration
Hatred, violence and terrorism
When will there be a time to love

At this moment in time
We have a choice to make
Father God is watching
While we cause Mother Earth so much pain
It’s such a shame

Not enough money for
The young, the old and the poor
But for war there is always more
When will there be a time to love

We make time for paying taxes
Or paying bills and buying status
But we will pay the consequences
If we don’t make the time to love

Now’s the time to pay attention
Yes now is the time~~~ to love~~~~~~~
A time to love~~~~~ Love~~~~
A time to Love
Please, please won’t you tell me
When will there be a time to love~~~~

carbon sources

I really get the feeling that we need to wear our sharp pointy skeptic noses… everything eco, bio, green, soft and fuzzy isn’t always backed by sound environmental ethics… take bio-diesel fuel for example.

from a cute little guardian article recommended by peter:

“Between 1985 and 2000,” it [was] found: “the development of oil-palm plantations was responsible for an estimated 87 per cent of deforestation in Malaysia”. In Sumatra and Borneo, some 4 million hectares of forest have been converted to palm farms. Now a further 6 million hectares are scheduled for clearance in Malaysia, and 16.5 million in Indonesia.[…][The british government:]Knowing that the creation of this [bio diesel]market will lead to a massive surge in imports of palm oil, knowing that there is nothing meaningful it can do to prevent them, and knowing that they will accelerate rather than ameliorate climate change, the government has decided to go ahead anyway.

perhaps the worst part is the role of govenments with money blinding their insight and leading to their destructive decisions.

As BP is saying:
Its time to go on a low Carbon diet.

This is a bit of a (in)famous saying in our family so when i saw it as a sticker - i was nothing short of thrilled!
You have to think southern drawl, pick-up trucks (like this one) and mangy mutts chasing the truck…

zoom in on the back window and check it out… its not just a West Virginia thing… Florida has stickers folks!

Should meditation be separate from life.?.

On which side of your umbrella did you leave your shoes?
Do the small things of life with a relaxed awareness. When you are eating, eat totally–chew totally, taste totally, smell totally. Touch your bread, feel the texture. Smell the bread, smell the flavor. Chew it, let it dissolve into your being, and remain conscious–and you are meditating. And then meditation is not separate from life. (more…)
