They’ll Probably Use a Directed Charge to Nuke the Oil

I first learned about the possibility of using nuclear bombs for underwater construction when I listened to one of the interviews of Edward Teller on Peoples Archive. He was talking about building harbors in Alaska using nuclear charges.

Well, it occurred to me that this is probably going to be the only way to close off the BP oil leak which is coming out of the ground with such pressure that nothing seems to thwart it. There’s even a second leak bigger than the first, or so this article says. Thus, this story doesn’t surprise me.

Indian Hermit Reaches Stage of Chi Cultivation Where Food Not Necessary

In this video story, an Indian hermit is shown whom sources (and the local hospital) say has survived for countless years without food or drink. He doesn’t pass stool or urine either.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/7764884/Indian-hermit-stuns-doctors-by-surviving-without-food.html

This is the stage of inedia. The school of Chinese Taoism describes it– you survive on only chi alone. Naturally, the Indian yoga school has it. It’s mentioned in Christianity as well for quite a few saints, including women saints. Basically it is a stage you reach in chi cultivation. It is not samadhi, not dhyana, not enlightenment or the Tao, yet a stage you can reach when you cultivate your chi to fullness.

Scientists always claim such things are impossible but they are documented in countless spiritual traditions, we have plenty of historical examples including this yogi here, and it goes to show that the cultivation path is non-denominational in terms of the gong-fu stages you can reach. My new book coming out on HERCULES will go into such things in detail.

The big thing is this: I don’t care what religion or spiritual school you’re in. If you cultivate you attain gong-fu, if you don’t meditate you don’t achieve gong-fu. This is a non-denominational stage of gong-fu from cultivating your chi (qi). Some people attain this and others don’t — it depends on your karma. In terms of principles, when jing is cultivated to fullness you don’t think of sex, when chi is cultivated to fullness you don’t think of eating (and you see light within your body), and when shen is cultivated to fullness you don’t sleep. This yogi’s cultivation is far past the stage of this saying, but I just wanted you to see that you cannot dismiss the results and teachings of other schools just because no one in
your tradition achieved these things. They do exist. There’s nothing mysterious or abnormal about them. It’s because you are HEALTHY due to your chi channels opening that you can attain this. Spiritual Gong-fu falls out of standard cultivation practices when you work hard at meditation.

Stay turned for the release of “The Little Book of Hercules” that will go through all the non-denominational stages of the spiritual path like this – linking Greek, Egyptian, Taoist, Indian, Buddhist, Christian and Tibetan traditions — starting from the arising of kundalini to opening of the central channel on through countless other spiritual phenomena.

Saving the World’s Oceans

I’ve often sat in my room trying to brainstorm ways to get rid of that giant floating island of plastic the size of Texas that is now floating in the Pacific. Shakyamuni Buddha often said that the world would become toxic to an extreme degree and it’s no lie that our environmental ways are poisoning the planet. The BP spill is an example, but this one represents an even larger long term danger.

Forget all this emphasis on global warming — this is the problem we should be working on. Silly me, I kept envisoning ships sweeping the ocean with nets between them to corral the waste so that it could be compacted and towed somewhere, but also knew it wouldn’t work because people would have already suggested this methodology. Finally I found something that the billionaires of the world should finance as a try:

http://www.rense.com/general90/rid.htm

Start your ideas swirling after reading about the Thermal Conversion Process perfected by a New York company, Changing World Technologies.

And speaking about saving the oceans, Kevin Costner, the actor, has funded to the tune of over $20M the development of barges that suck up oil spills in water, spin the water in a centrifuge, and separate out the oil from the water for a 99% clean discharge … a way to help clean up ocean oil spills. This is exactly the type of free thinking, far thinking, important thinking that I always urge people to do, especially the superrich looking for ways to spend their monies on charity.

This is also where I get very disappointed because the people best positioned to invest in something like this are the oil companies themselves and the billionaires of the world and both did nothing. I’ve always been trying to figure out a way to clean oil spills from the ocean and here we have an actor spending his own funds to do so, which to me is an embarassment of the mega-rich:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bp-calls-in-costners-26m-vacuum-cleaners-to-mop-up-huge-oil-spill-1979976.html

The growing disasters over the next few decades will not just be oil spills, but seed/crop disasters caused by unwise policies of Monsanto and other companies. These catastrophes are happening before our very eyes, just like the banking crisis, and when they occur it will be too late for legislation. “We didn’t know. The science said __” will be all the rage of officials trying to cover their butts. I warned you of the recession. Don’t say I didn’t wan you about this.

The Rational Optimist

I like this quote I just read from Dr. Matt Ridley, ex-Economist editor and author of The Rational Optimist. In reviewing history, he wrote the following … which makes you once again realize that there is no yang, or good, without yin, or bad:

“Empires bought stability at the price of creating a parasitic court; monotheistic religions bought social cohesion at the expense of a parasitic priestly class; nationalism bought power at the expense of a parasitic military; socialism bought equality at the price of a parasitic bureaucracy; capitalism bought efficiency at the price of parasitic financiers.”

Impossible Motion and Optical Illusions

Usually I’m not a big fan of optical illusions, but these video optical illusions, especially #1, are first class.

http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com/cat/top-10-finalists/2010/#post-2002

Watch it seveal times! Also, the twirling helix got me, too.

I often worndered if there was some way to cultivate that including detaching from optical illusions but never found anything. I suppose it’s the way our brains work. Enjoy
