The products that are not &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Recycling"&gt;recyclable&lt;/a&gt; need greater attention. For example  the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Polyethylene"&gt;polythene&lt;/a&gt; bags, &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Plastic"&gt;plastic&lt;/a&gt;  products, electronic and electrical  products, and thus almost all of  modern products need a solution so that  all can earn and invest to help  the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_environment" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Natural environment"&gt;environment&lt;/a&gt;. The non-re-cyclic  products can be taken back by the manufactures via the shops or where  these are sold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can make all earn some points as if social grading.  More grades one gets more loyal the customer will be to the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Company"&gt;company&lt;/a&gt; and  by all means to the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Society"&gt;society&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Nature"&gt;nature&lt;/a&gt;. It helps our social environment  to allow nature to serve us. We can solve almost all problems related to  &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Pollution"&gt;pollution&lt;/a&gt; if we know how to manufacture (produce), use and dispose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, the last word disposal needs to be our offering thanksgiving as if  &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/metric/Investments" rel="wikinvest nofollow" title="Investments"&gt;investment&lt;/a&gt;  to nature so that our lives go smoothly as well as of all  living and  non-living ones in the nature, particularly on our earth. The   manufactures can surely pass the resolutions so that if customer and or   user buys anything, we take any part of it back with some points,   grades, discounts and further improvement and product and &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Consumer"&gt;consumer&lt;/a&gt;  relationships in context to nature and environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This  factor of social gradation of citizens, the contribution level as  part  of natural world&amp;nbsp; can be factor that can help millions of people  who  do so many things without getting any social or governmental   recognition and or appreciation. If I return 100 plastic bags, I may get   a badge as we get in scouting that can help all to think, feel and   discuss about our natural world and thus earth and its problems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The  scouting is minimizing all needs and thus earning. The big companies   or even the smallest ones can contribute and make a great difference. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks and we will keep writing more about it - &lt;b&gt;How  to Earn by Returning Part or Product after Use to Manufactures and   Companies - Helping Nature and Environment for Better Gradation as a   Citizen and Proud of Natural World.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have taken 3 Oaths and it helps me in keep going:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Scout Oath&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best&lt;br /&gt;
To do my duty to God[1] and my country,&lt;br /&gt;
To help other people at all times,&lt;br /&gt;
And to obey the &lt;b&gt;Scout/Guide Law&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Scout/Guide Law has the following main points included in the 3rd Scout Oath:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Scout Law&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt; 1. A Scout/Guide is trustworthy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. A Scout/Guide is loyal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. A Scout/Guide is a friend to all and a brother/sister to every other Scout/Guide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. A Scout/Guide is courteous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. A Scout/Guide is a friend to animals and loves nature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. A Scout/Guide is disciplined and helps protect public property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. A Scout/Guide is courageous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. A Scout/Guide is thrifty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. A Scout/Guide is pure in thought, word and deed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This movement serving worldwide has a &lt;b&gt;mission&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;"The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society." &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[1] - The word "Dharma" may be substituted for the word "God" if so desired. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Like all other scout and guide masters around the world, I have taken these 3 oaths on 14th of August, 1996, while obtained the Certificate of Basic Scout Master at the Tara Devi Camp, the hilly station near Shimla in Himachal Pardesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I received a Letter of Appreciation from District Education Officer as shown above. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other letter is from my principal, Mr. I. B. Muirden where I studied 10+2 (Year 11 and 12) at Adelaide, South Australia. There was an Indian scout master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO7lH1eBUw-H7rPVDIq4b_-hgNIeL40dTxUWDDGhIgSh-tViP-t2cNnBTdmLHwhL6okdeW-cevf2GSqP_zJNeHQoKeJBXKGylgBltoz43m2lPg2K-5g_bhqjnhsIdVY9EqoaRAlmUFuTAC/s1600/Letter+of+Appreciation+from+Australia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO7lH1eBUw-H7rPVDIq4b_-hgNIeL40dTxUWDDGhIgSh-tViP-t2cNnBTdmLHwhL6okdeW-cevf2GSqP_zJNeHQoKeJBXKGylgBltoz43m2lPg2K-5g_bhqjnhsIdVY9EqoaRAlmUFuTAC/s640/Letter+of+Appreciation+from+Australia.jpg" width="494" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many of my readers and some friends think that I write bit roughly about western countries and in some cases about the Australia. &lt;b&gt;It is totally false and wrong assumption. Why?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Reason:&lt;/b&gt; We know the people in the west never interfere with life of others, but some, a very few people have started to play tactics for changing public opinions in the west, and thus people in the advanced or the developed countries have started to give opinions, which they have never done in the human history before, and still avoid to do so when we discuss with them seeking any personal opinion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is dignity and standard of living in the civilized cultures, which need attention not just in the developed countries, but also in the developing countries. My point is not at all about any western country, but the ones, who create and thus influence the opinions. In my more than 24 months studies in Australia, I did not meet even a single person, who would ever give any opinion. What media says is not public opinion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We the people in the east and west love one another, but the opinions promote business and marketing, and thus as I said it what I write or say has nothing to do with the nation or its public, but a very few people. I hope it clarifies my point. &lt;br /&gt;

So, the private&lt;br&gt;sector plays an important role in it. If there is less attention paid&lt;br&gt;at the governmental hospitals and health care centers, the private&lt;br&gt;sector is not only costly, but there is so much competition that one&lt;br&gt;can go to any extreme to win the gold medal as the best service&lt;br&gt;provider. We discuss this great health concern in this review.&lt;p&gt;The worst that happens in such cases is that these doctors usually&lt;br&gt;join a penal that has higher authority than normal team of doctors. If&lt;br&gt;it happens to be team of doctors from around the world, it is not just&lt;br&gt;a penal, but a kind of NGO extension that can surpass even the&lt;br&gt;governments.  To join such national and internal penal, one simply&lt;br&gt;need to prove not the medical standards, but the social pathology,&lt;br&gt;which one can claim even without being a expert of the field on which&lt;br&gt;the penal works. For example, the dental doctor can qualify to give&lt;br&gt;the sociological aspects blended with psychology in general. It can&lt;br&gt;include almost all faculties of knowledge that can add to such medical&lt;br&gt;works.&lt;p&gt;This very thing has been warned as not to over trust or rely on&lt;br&gt;others. Also being over suspicious is avoidable. However, many people&lt;br&gt;in mental cases, who are schizophrenic or religious usually, have&lt;br&gt;suspicious nature and doubts. This very nature of suspicion and&lt;br&gt;doubting is highly common among creative people, but in medical&lt;br&gt;manipulations it can be proved as mental sickness.&lt;p&gt;The doctors, who want medal does ignore the fact that people, who has&lt;br&gt;strong faith lack confidence and thus cannot hide their doubts, fears,&lt;br&gt;and thus suspicious nature as they use it for curiosity and creative&lt;br&gt;imagination for exploring the unknown, which is full of uncertainty&lt;br&gt;and thus the fear of unknown remains present. It has great effect on&lt;br&gt;the knowledge that gives confidence because without knowledge one&lt;br&gt;cannot be confident.&lt;p&gt;The person or patient with faith has interest in the invisible and&lt;br&gt;thus the unknown, the lack of knowledge about it keeps one fearful,&lt;br&gt;suspicious, doubtful, curious, nervous, and all that can be as if a&lt;br&gt;kind of danger of unknown. However, it does not constitute enough&lt;br&gt;evidence to prove that one is cynical and suspicious until one has&lt;br&gt;less than required knowledge, but the manipulator can easily prove it&lt;br&gt;in any way as mental problem or sickness.&lt;p&gt;It does not mean that people do not have mental problems. There are&lt;br&gt;98% of us facing some kind of mental problems, and only 2% do not face&lt;br&gt;as they are mad.&lt;p&gt;We take an example of a case in which the mental health care is&lt;br&gt;provided by the doctors, who are not related with this field, but try&lt;br&gt;to prove as all rounder. It makes things so serious and complicated&lt;br&gt;that one does not become a patient, but a victim. The reason for is&lt;br&gt;not lack of health services or medicines, but the irrelevant person&lt;br&gt;trying to be sharp. For example, if a doctor is of dental health care&lt;br&gt;(just an assumption as it can be from any specialization) and acts on&lt;br&gt;behalf of psychiatrist for observations, all will be based on the&lt;br&gt;observations for the given case. Now, the dental doctor can make the&lt;br&gt;medical observations in context of social pathology, in which the&lt;br&gt;network and web-work is not medical pathology, but social and thus we&lt;br&gt;may assume it as social pathology.&lt;p&gt;Now, in such cases, as the doctor have more rights than the civilians&lt;br&gt;and also patients. It can go to any extreme. This thing is not&lt;br&gt;detectable or traceable as the system does not allow such a minute&lt;br&gt;analysis or scrutiny. It is thus simply an inquiry in which the doctor&lt;br&gt;also acts as a lawyer because all doctors know about the right they&lt;br&gt;have and thus the medical law. The statements given by the patients&lt;br&gt;can be overruled as if given in state of anger or psychological&lt;br&gt;problem as is it is in the general law of the country.&lt;p&gt;When all evidences are given by the people, who are healthy and fully&lt;br&gt;aware and conscious, all witnesses go in favor of the medical sector.&lt;br&gt;All have one common fear, the evidence given against a doctor can be&lt;br&gt;as fatal as if it is not a doctor, but someone, who can take revenge&lt;br&gt;when the circumstances change, and thus can harm the family of the&lt;br&gt;patient cum victim. This threat is further protected by the doctors by&lt;br&gt;taking more rights from the governments. Thus, they become a kind of&lt;br&gt;authority that has more rights than they deserve, but there can be no&lt;br&gt;appeal against it. The reason is same, all of us need medical care and&lt;br&gt;if the medical sector gets witnesses that prove that all has something&lt;br&gt;hidden in the entire medical sector, the public or common people feel&lt;br&gt;afraid of it.&lt;p&gt;In my observations, I have noticed the doctors in many cases acting as&lt;br&gt;if armed forces or military acts. The reason is very simple, the&lt;br&gt;military or armed forces are needed for immediate action or operation&lt;br&gt;and the doctors all do the same. They have to acts quickly as&lt;br&gt;possible. It needs full freedom to act, the defense system, which&lt;br&gt;includes police also depend on what the doctors say. It makes the&lt;br&gt;entire system full of many problems that has deep roots.&lt;p&gt;The rivalry among the doctors in the private sector goes to extremes&lt;br&gt;against one another. The conspiracies that take place in the medical&lt;br&gt;sector and trying to hide all proofs make it a civilian justice court&lt;br&gt;in which the doctors may acts as lawyer, judge and healer&lt;br&gt;simultaneously. This makes a doctor not just a healer but also gives&lt;br&gt;the state of God, as when a life is saved one becomes a savior and&lt;br&gt;thus claims it. This very claim that one has simply tried to save a&lt;br&gt;life has all that can put to grave. Thus it graves the law and all&lt;br&gt;civilian rights. The families of the dead person a patient cum victim&lt;br&gt;also believes that their family member is getting the best possible.&lt;br&gt;The doctor can threat anyone in the name of disease and thus if not&lt;br&gt;cured can bring death.&lt;p&gt;No family wants death, so the family obeys all that is said by the&lt;br&gt;doctor. It does not mean that the doctors are wrong. All cannot be&lt;br&gt;thief and all cannot be saints. We are simply discussing about the&lt;br&gt;person, who uses a mask. We are thus talking about the mask not about&lt;br&gt;the person or in this case a doctor.&lt;p&gt;In our mental case, we have a patient, who if cured can make anyone a&lt;br&gt;great doctor. So, this invites the runners for the gold medal. It can&lt;br&gt;a patient of any other disease say AIDS, Cancer, TB, and the endless&lt;br&gt;list. However, if one is cured the medal is there. Thus, a doctor can&lt;br&gt;hire another doctor. It helps to make sure that the team work was done&lt;br&gt;in an authentic and ethical way. It has all copyrights, legal rights&lt;br&gt;and thus a seal that no one can ever reopen. It makes it a secret that&lt;br&gt;is never revealed. Now, the observations that one doctor makes, has&lt;br&gt;authority to do so. It helps to ensure that it was not unauthorized.&lt;p&gt;How much manipulation is there is yet another secret that the involved&lt;br&gt;team members may not even share with one another. It makes sure that&lt;br&gt;the doctor involved has done all things in such a way that a life is&lt;br&gt;saved. However, in the mental cases, the problems differ a bit, one&lt;br&gt;can become a dependent and some partially that favors few things,&lt;br&gt;which one by and with full conscience may never do start to play its&lt;br&gt;role. Thus, the basic problem is that whatever claims the team members&lt;br&gt;has made cannot be challenged as if one is contradict even for a&lt;br&gt;single statement or observation, the others are there, and above all&lt;br&gt;the law that protects it not as negligence, but a right thing while&lt;br&gt;doing the best possible.&lt;p&gt;We need special attention about how the medical tests and reports are&lt;br&gt;manipulated. For example, a sample of sweat or perspiration can give&lt;br&gt;lot of information, but it can be easily tempered or changed in such a&lt;br&gt;way that it is not possible to have any dispute. These hundreds of&lt;br&gt;proof constitute a long term, may be for 5-15 years, and thus trusted&lt;br&gt;record that no one can challenge.&lt;p&gt;These observations and records, which are basically tempered ones, can&lt;br&gt;constitute enough data and information to give a solid evidence to&lt;br&gt;make sure that all that goes as medical treatment fulfills the records&lt;br&gt;needed to prove anything – true or false is not the matter over here.&lt;p&gt;Let us raise another point that has a gist in such cases. In the&lt;br&gt;social pathology, a plan or conspiracy is well planned thing that is&lt;br&gt;often made to make a person suitable for certain task or experiment.&lt;br&gt;One going through such medical tests and experiments may not ever know&lt;br&gt;that it is the process of conditioning and thus even if one reveals&lt;br&gt;it, no matter false or true, one assumes or becomes a conditioned&lt;br&gt;person, while believing that one knows the truth. This is another&lt;br&gt;point of killing the conscience is conditioned way, which one accepts&lt;br&gt;as so called destiny. However, this destiny is well planned and one&lt;br&gt;goes through it for years or perhaps for generations.&lt;p&gt;We do not need to go into these details as nowadays, we understand&lt;br&gt;that one can easily become suspicious or doubtful, but it what the&lt;br&gt;traditions, cultures, religions and faiths do, but while one is fully&lt;br&gt;aware and conscious about the process. Our point here is about when&lt;br&gt;one is not conscious of what is happening with his or her family and&lt;br&gt;oneself.&lt;p&gt;Now, the problem that the team of doctors and the mental patient may&lt;br&gt;keep alive is to keep proving. If the patient does anything different&lt;br&gt;from the sealed report, it is alert for the team. They again do the&lt;br&gt;same circumstantial work to reprove it. Thus, it is the death of&lt;br&gt;conscience, which has been as if mesmerized. Then, the statements&lt;br&gt;given by the patient has no value in the higher authorities and world&lt;br&gt;community in general. If the patient says something in favor and&lt;br&gt;desirable it helps all, and if one does not hurt anyone at all.&lt;p&gt;The reason is again very simply. The wrong things said by the patient&lt;br&gt;are abnormal symptoms, which always has been justified from the&lt;br&gt;centuries. This is an easy way to make one schizophrenic and then&lt;br&gt;using the creative intelligence till the end of life. Such patients&lt;br&gt;include many researchers, whose behavior is normally schizophrenic.&lt;br&gt;The recognition has never been given to such people, but their works&lt;br&gt;are widely used as the raw material. They are simply the mental&lt;br&gt;laborers.&lt;p&gt;Now, the doctors that prove all that starts from abnormal to&lt;br&gt;schizophrenic and finally claiming it to be cured get the medals, the&lt;br&gt;recognition, name, fame and whatever they need. The patients remains&lt;br&gt;silently graved in the research reports saying that the treatments was&lt;br&gt;tried and found successful among 10, 0000 patients around the world&lt;br&gt;and the team that participated in it are as follows.&lt;p&gt;The patient has proud of being in the list of some 10, 0000 people,&lt;br&gt;who responded well to the treatments. It is very sad thing to say and&lt;br&gt;it is not at all a taunting or joking.&lt;p&gt;The patients are selected in such a way that if one gets aware, there&lt;br&gt;can be many ways and thus already set proofs that can show the gender&lt;br&gt;game playing in the audios and videos about how man is woman and woman&lt;br&gt;is man, a common problem that most of the youth learns from imitating&lt;br&gt;the opposite sex right from the childhood. If one is at subconscious&lt;br&gt;level and does something that is a proof, but surely it seems to&lt;br&gt;invite serious attention if one was brought to this level by medicines&lt;br&gt;or suggestions and thus the circumstantial effects that has a great&lt;br&gt;effect on human psychology. We in India have 8 categories of marriage,&lt;br&gt;about which are discussing just one. This is called the Pishaach&lt;br&gt;Marriage, in which one is medically abused with drugs to prove as&lt;br&gt;either immoral or all other that we can relate to sex and morality.&lt;p&gt;The medical panel in which one wants to check how a noble or person of&lt;br&gt;good character would feel if one has to go through unethical, immoral&lt;br&gt;and extra-martial relations, and such things can do greater harm than&lt;br&gt;good. We now know that medical sector wants to explore what controls&lt;br&gt;the conscience decisions, the essence of ethics and value system.&lt;br&gt;However, it is seduction in such a way that anyone can be proved&lt;br&gt;either tempted or immoral. This is common fear of all God fearing&lt;br&gt;people and those, who strongly value the commitments in human&lt;br&gt;relations. Now, the sex, will and moral have a great relation as one&lt;br&gt;relates to desires, one to determination and the last to ethics. The&lt;br&gt;sex is not the only factor, any desire to possess anything without&lt;br&gt;moral is cheating or immoral and thus mismanagement of desire. In it,&lt;br&gt;the Indian Philosophy and Psychology suggests 4 main points:&lt;p&gt;1. Duty (Dharma) – Philosophical Aspects&lt;br&gt;2. Money and Possessions (Arth) – Economical Aspects&lt;br&gt;3. Desire and Sex (Kama) – Psychological Aspects&lt;br&gt;4, Moksha (The Freedom of Self-liberation) – Spiritual Aspects&lt;p&gt;The priority to these is given equally as these are interrelated.&lt;p&gt;Now, without doing one&amp;#39;s duty one is not mentally normal, if one does&lt;br&gt;not care for money and possession one is not mentally normal, if one&lt;br&gt;cannot control emotions leads to mental abnormality and finally if one&lt;br&gt;starts dwelling how others think and feel; one can never liberate from&lt;br&gt;this influence to have one&amp;#39;s own thoughts and feelings. The last point&lt;br&gt;of self-liberation is to be a human with all that one learns from&lt;br&gt;self-experiences not from books or opinions of others about how one&lt;br&gt;should think, feel and act.&lt;p&gt;This makes it easier for the manipulating doctor to know and cheat&lt;br&gt;knowingly as this vast knowledge can be proved and disproved very&lt;br&gt;easily without any experiences as all it needs data and tests that can&lt;br&gt;be tempered and or manipulated. This thing is known and felt by&lt;br&gt;conscience. I strongly appeal to the doctors and the medical teams&lt;br&gt;involved in such works to take care that anyone among them does not&lt;br&gt;get the advantage of any type by manipulating to get name, fame,&lt;br&gt;recognition and all that has to do with the medal. Simply think about&lt;br&gt;the patient or conscience that goes through it, which is not humanly&lt;br&gt;way of working for evolution whether medically, technologically or any&lt;br&gt;other method.&lt;p&gt;I have said and written it as a doctor of Alternative Medicines in my&lt;br&gt;full conscience not under any influence.&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your time to read.&lt;p&gt;P.S.: Please let me know if there is any question or suggestion.

I cannot earn enough money to live consistently without worries. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Freedom from worries, thus, cannot be expected from more money. There must be another way.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Releasing?

I can just eliminate pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can see that I breathe now, in this moment, that I am connected to so many and so much, that I love so many and so much, that I am loved and held. That I have a soul place and a soul mate.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Am I safe?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;There was a little earthquake yesterday, here in Saranda. Abroad in Kosova, the media reported only a little earthquake in Greece. But it was here, too.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sometimes, dazing on my bed, I had felt a tiny wave going through my body and wondered whether it was an earthquake. In the West of yesterday, in the East of tomorrow, and here. This time it was stronger and consisted of several shaking pulses. I felt it with awe and astonishment. Was this really an earthquake? What else could it be? I was fascinated and completely free of fear, for it was a tiny earthquake, not a baby anymore, but an innocuous toddler. Nothing fell down, nothing burst, nothing crashed. Only that strange, extremely fascinating feeling from Mother Earth through Platon's and Fotini's ground floor up to my flat into my body. And the thrill of not knowing what would be next.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Having digested the surprise, I went into the next door frame, because I had read that this is the safest place in an earthquake. Do not go outside, because you may be knocked down by a falling house. I leaned my back on the massive wood and waited, but the show was over.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I went out on the balcony. The sea was deep down, reassuringly far away. Some people were working calmly in a garden below. "Was this an earthquake?" I called. No answer. They didn't notice me. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I thought about the writings and channelled messages about the long-awaited and now arriving ascension of the Earth. This is a time where many people have decided to leave, whereas others have decided to stay, to help global enlightenment. I have decided to stay ... will I really stay? The Earth is releasing negativity in this necessary phase. From this perspective, it is no wonder that an earthquake may also happen in my little beach town. After all, everything being part of a giant improvement plan, and everybody being an immortal soul, there is nothing really to fear ...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;When I switched on Radio Saranda, before the folklore program, the first news was: "Today the town of Saranda was struck by a little earthquake. (So I was right!) At 12.30 o'clock, some seismic shocks incurred, which lasted for 30 seconds. As Saranda does not have any seismic station, no indication can be made about the strength of the earthquake." Later I looked up the Richter scala on the internet and reached the conclusion that our little quake was about degree 3. Last year on the 1st of April, I had made an April fool on my grandmother by telling her: "There was a little earthquake in nearby Delvina." Now this made-up story had become true, and not only in Delvina.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In spite of my nonchalance during the earthquake, things were no longer as they have been before. I had known that Albania is a seismic zone and had been more afraid of earthquakes than of rebels and mafiosi. Now every cell of mine had felt that earthquakes are possible in Saranda. Will there be a bigger one, and which stones will be left unturned? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The worst thing would be not to be in Saranda. I would prefer giving a first helping hand and then dashing off to rich Germany, to raise funds for reconstruction with my real-life accounts. Thinking of the Marquês de Pombal, who several centuries ago had said after the famous Lisbon quake: "Let's bury the dead and rebuild the town." I could have lost everything. For me, too, it would be hard, if not impossible, to start working again, buying a laptop and one dictionary after the other, without some outer help. But it would be possible, Kosova is getting up again as well.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Saranda is build on a rocky ground", somebody reassured me, "therefore real earthquakes are improbable." Nevertheless I look at my Saranda now with even greater love and tenderness, because if it crumbles down in seismic shocks, I will regret every moment I did not love Saranda to the fullest. More love, more attentive and intensive love in the present moment - this is the only answer to transience, death and destruction.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Curiosity instead of fear, utmost curiosity, fascination, and thrill. And in the end, the commitment to more love. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How can I apply these insights of my cute, little earthquake to my financial problems? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Will I really be able to look at my situation with fascination, and with the detachment of an old soul, who knows that in reality it is a spiritual being having just a human experience?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Silke Blumbach&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tami is getting dressed for work.&amp;nbsp; She is almost ready, she just needs&lt;br /&gt;
to get her shoes on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami to herself:&amp;nbsp; Did I close the patio door?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She puts one shoe on and hobbles to the patio door and closes it.&amp;nbsp; Back&lt;br /&gt;
to her bedroom and reaches for her other shoe.... gone!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; I could have sworn....&amp;nbsp; Oh well, I need to change shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami goes to her spare room where she keeps shoes and gets another&lt;br /&gt;
pair and returns to her bed.&amp;nbsp; She has already changed outfits.&amp;nbsp; Her&lt;br /&gt;
missing shoe is on the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; Darn it.&amp;nbsp; I thought it was gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami puts the missing shoe back with it's mate and returns to her bed&lt;br /&gt;
to find only one shoe there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; Ack!&amp;nbsp; I am losing my mind.&amp;nbsp; What is going on here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She changes back to her first outfit and takes her one shoe back and&lt;br /&gt;
retrieves her other pair and back to her bed and there on the bed is&lt;br /&gt;
the missing shoe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; What is going on with me?&amp;nbsp; Well, I will put this shoe back and&lt;br /&gt;
then get dressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami puts her one shoe away and returns to find only one shoe on her&lt;br /&gt;
bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami is now shaking......&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; I have paid the shoe gods this month.&amp;nbsp; What is going on?&amp;nbsp; I am&lt;br /&gt;
going to be late to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a giggle...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; Who is that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
giggle..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A black puppy, about 20 pounds dashes out from under her bed and runs&lt;br /&gt;
out heading for the patio door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; I got you little one.&amp;nbsp; The door is closed.&amp;nbsp; Who are you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Val, panting heavily:&amp;nbsp; My name is Valentina.&amp;nbsp; I live next door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; With Katie?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Val:&amp;nbsp; Yes, how did you know?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tami:&amp;nbsp; It figures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #198a8a;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;The Herd in Guthrie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Is may we learn the lessons of war well,&lt;br /&gt;
That we not doom future generations,&lt;br /&gt;
The same old tales of horror to tell,&lt;br /&gt;
To endure what in youth they see mistakenly as glory.&lt;br /&gt;
Oh God, do not let our children&lt;br /&gt;
Repeat the same old story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make it so that America's babies live to grow old&lt;br /&gt;
In this land of the free and the bold.&lt;br /&gt;
Help us throw off the shackles of hate that bind&lt;br /&gt;
And grow old in a life of a peaceful kind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teach us that there is no glory in war,&lt;br /&gt;
Nor honor there that brave men should not abhor.&lt;br /&gt;
Teach us instead, one for another our brothers to love.&lt;br /&gt;
Shower us with thine Celestial message from above,&lt;br /&gt;
That we plant seeds of peace evermore&lt;br /&gt;
And make war-no-more!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman1;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;But if I should die on some far, far away battlefield&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #280099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

For a grand principle of freedom to yield.&lt;br /&gt;
My fervent prayer is that death&lt;br /&gt;
May not have been in vain&lt;br /&gt;
Fighting for peace and right for the world to attain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My brothers, American roses standing by my side&lt;br /&gt;
On alien soil dying&lt;br /&gt;
In the summer of my youthful pride&lt;br /&gt;
All the leaves around me falling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'm lying here still, in sunshine and in shadow,&lt;br /&gt;
Longing to hear, "brother next door, I love you so."&lt;br /&gt;
For moldering in the soft ground below,&lt;br /&gt;
I feel you living and loving in the world above me&lt;br /&gt;
Standing tall because I fought that you might be...&lt;br /&gt;
Oh look ye down now,&lt;br /&gt;
And tell me you still think of me&lt;br /&gt;
Honor my red blood, spilt that others might stand free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tell me that I did not give my all for you in vain&lt;br /&gt;
That brothers and sisters do not look upon my sacrifice&lt;br /&gt;
With hateful,&lt;br /&gt;
Or even worse,&lt;br /&gt;
Uncaring disdain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not forget me when my valley's hushed&lt;br /&gt;
And white with snow,&lt;br /&gt;
Grass growing green in the summer of my meadow&lt;br /&gt;
Help me see the peace I lived and died for grow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make my lonely grave richer,&lt;br /&gt;
Sweeter be...&lt;br /&gt;
Make this truly,&lt;br /&gt;
"The land of the free&lt;br /&gt;
And the home of the brave,"&lt;br /&gt;
I gave my life to save&lt;br /&gt;
That I might too, lie eternally,&lt;br /&gt;
Forever free...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman1;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Signature;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gary Jacobson&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Signature;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:jacobs@atcnet.net" target="_blank"&gt;jacobs@atcnet.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #bf005f;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;**~**~ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b80047;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the Mailbox&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is as if, many decision makers believe they are in a vacuum, devoid of history. So we repeat the drill. Yes, in slightly different circumstances, w/new characters, in different countries, but, the forward progress should be assessed as unacceptably slow.  Please read more at: &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/globalbooksearch#buzz"&gt;http://www.google.com/profiles/globalbooksearch#buzz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;P.S.: I must express that excessive pressures of speedy changes are drastic for human life and nervous system and thus are spelling and other grammatical mistakes, is not it.

We seem to have forgotten&lt;br&gt;the history of human civilization, and have created a virtual world -&lt;br&gt;a web in which we spend our life without ever knowing who has brought&lt;br&gt;us up to modern age. We seem as if we have no feelings of reverence&lt;br&gt;and thus consequently the feelings of shame. So, we justify all that&lt;br&gt;is wrong, inhuman ... illogical, etc.... by arrangements. &amp;quot;Only a fool&lt;br&gt;starts an argument to win it&amp;quot; says Plato.&lt;p&gt;This is well applicable to New World Order in which history of human&lt;br&gt;civilization starts when Industrial and Technological Revolution&lt;br&gt;started and all ends when Computer, IT and Nano Technology starts. It&lt;br&gt;forces our brains to see our image in everything, but if we look at&lt;br&gt;the mirror of history, we can notice we all have been same and all are&lt;br&gt;individually independent as well.&lt;p&gt;Will our age end up with one thought and emotion shared among all&lt;br&gt;without having any individuality is the question that our present seem&lt;br&gt;to ask for better future, is not it. Many think and feel that it may&lt;br&gt;seem odd or even to the developed countries, but how poorly and great&lt;br&gt;desperate people of these nations are living in  makes all poor in the&lt;br&gt;developed countries feel concern about the future of our world in&lt;br&gt;which we wish that developed countries make efforts to preserve the&lt;br&gt;history and all natural resources for future of entire natural world&lt;br&gt;and including humanity. I think so and I may be wrong.

Yesterday, I took her into hospital&lt;br&gt;again to ensure that she is safe (she is plagued by voices at the&lt;br&gt;moment) whilst the new medication ramps up to a level which is&lt;br&gt;therapeutic for her.&lt;p&gt;This, as you may expect, is quite distressing for all of us. We have&lt;br&gt;support systems in place though, and my work are being frankly&lt;br&gt;fantastic about it all.&lt;p&gt;It gets me thinking though. I can program computers to get them to&lt;br&gt;behave in particular ways, but how do you rewrite the programming in a&lt;br&gt;brain.&lt;p&gt;I recently read &amp;#39;Pragmatic Thinking and Learning - Refactor your&lt;br&gt;Wetware&amp;#39; by Andy Hunt (&lt;a href="http://www.pragprog.com"&gt;www.pragprog.com&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;p&gt;This is great for yourself, or even trying to suggest to others. I&lt;br&gt;have found some easy to apply tips and some which I need to get round&lt;br&gt;to trying, but one thing it shows is that we have set ways of doing&lt;br&gt;things. Our Logic/Linear-mode (L-mode) tends to be dominant, and seems&lt;br&gt;to have the most influence, unless, as the book suggests, we&lt;br&gt;deliberately try to get information from our Rich-mode (R-mode).&lt;p&gt;The key thing with this though is that we control the flow of&lt;br&gt;information, we determine if we will do it. We seem to have a&lt;br&gt;controlling Sensible-mode (S-mode).&lt;p&gt;And this is what I like about Computer Programming. A computer really&lt;br&gt;only sources from L-mode, and it allows the L-mode to control it. So I&lt;br&gt;can write a program that is logical, instructs the computer, and it&lt;br&gt;doesn&amp;#39;t get anything else influencing it (well, assuming I have taken&lt;br&gt;care of external running factors such as OS, file locations...)&lt;p&gt;My wife though, is not controlling her own thoughts. What is, we don&amp;#39;t&lt;br&gt;know, but not her. Her S-mode seems to lose it&amp;#39;s control. Whether the&lt;br&gt;thoughts are L-mode or R-mode based (traditionally, it would look like&lt;br&gt;those things are &amp;quot;Right-brain&amp;quot; thought processes, although when she&lt;br&gt;explains her thoughts, you could argue the Logic-mode is having a&lt;br&gt;say).&lt;p&gt;Luckily, this time, my wife&amp;#39;s S-mode seems to be working enough to&lt;br&gt;stop her finishing the act, but she is getting somewhere close to it&lt;br&gt;(popping enough pills out of a blister pack, but at the last minute,&lt;br&gt;throwing them in the bin instead of taking them).&lt;p&gt;So where am I going with this.&lt;p&gt;My opening request is to think about AI, and not introduce loose&lt;br&gt;wiring. Truly Artificial Intelligence should be able to think both in&lt;br&gt;L-mode and have R-mode, but with an overriding S-mode to control all&lt;br&gt;the thoughts.&lt;p&gt;I like programming because what I produce only has to act logically. I&lt;br&gt;am in turmoil because my wife has some &amp;#39;loose wires&amp;#39; which are not&lt;br&gt;allowing her to act completely rationally, and I can&amp;#39;t fix the bug in&lt;br&gt;the program to correct it.&lt;p&gt;If AI is a true goal of the computer technology industry, then lets&lt;br&gt;hope that the coding which goes into it won&amp;#39;t allow for the loose&lt;br&gt;wires which screw up the controller, or else we might just have a lot&lt;br&gt;of depressive machines which need careful looking after whilst we feed&lt;br&gt;them lots of pill programs to try to make them better.&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s hoping that the pills my wife is now taking soon start to sort&lt;br&gt;out her programming. I&amp;#39;m glad I never became a psychiatrist.&lt;p&gt;From blog: &lt;a

So, please let me know if you agree or&lt;br&gt;disagree.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Although still largely experimental, devices that decipher brain&lt;br&gt;signals are advancing quickly and allowing some fully paralyzed people&lt;br&gt;to interact with the world Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can&lt;br&gt;trap the mind inside an immobile body. It destroys the nerves that&lt;br&gt;control muscles, eventually leaving patients without the ability to&lt;br&gt;speak or even flick their eyes to one side. In the past few years,&lt;br&gt;however, researchers have started to equip a few such &amp;quot;locked-in&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;patients, including those paralyzed by stroke or other diseases, with&lt;br&gt;communication devices that unlock their minds.&lt;p&gt;For decades, science-fiction writers have envisioned computers that&lt;br&gt;communicate directly with the brain. Now a rapidly expanding clique of&lt;br&gt;researchers is making it a reality. A few laboratories started&lt;br&gt;developing these so-called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the&lt;br&gt;1980s and have been refining them since then (Science, 29 October&lt;br&gt;1999, p. 888). Now several dozen teams have entered the field.&lt;br&gt;Together they&amp;#39;re improving upon early BCI models and coming up with&lt;br&gt;new ways to read brain signals. According to BCI pioneer Jonathan&lt;br&gt;Wolpaw of the Wadsworth Center, part of the New York State Department&lt;br&gt;of Health in Albany, &amp;quot;it&amp;#39;s a very exciting time; a lot of people are&lt;br&gt;getting involved.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Most BCIs read brain waves, the electrical impulses created by neural&lt;br&gt;activity that can be detected--albeit fuzzily--through the scalp. By&lt;br&gt;diligently controlling their mental activity, patients can choose&lt;br&gt;letters to spell words, guide a cursor, or direct crude robots. But a&lt;br&gt;rival circle of scientists is rapidly advancing a type of BCI that is&lt;br&gt;implanted inside the brain. Such devices tap into the more detailed&lt;br&gt;neural signals relayed by individual neurons. The most sophisticated&lt;br&gt;of these implanted BCIs have recently enabled monkeys to play video&lt;br&gt;games and even manipulate robotic arms. Whether the implanted devices&lt;br&gt;will actually lead to more versatile and workable BCIs than the&lt;br&gt;external type is a matter of fierce debate.&lt;p&gt;In the past few years, brain-wave BCI technologies have been advancing&lt;br&gt;rapidly, providing faster spelling, better cursor control, and headway&lt;br&gt;into prosthetics, environmental-control devices, and smart&lt;br&gt;wheelchairs. The advances are fueled in part by cheaper and more&lt;br&gt;sophisticated computer hardware and software, which has given BCI&lt;br&gt;researchers access to portable machines that perform complex&lt;br&gt;mathematical manipulations on the fly. Good old-fashioned funding&lt;br&gt;helps, too: The National Institutes of Health awarded $3.3 million in&lt;br&gt;late 2002 to a partnership headed by the Wadsworth group to further&lt;br&gt;develop software that can test several BCI systems to see which is&lt;br&gt;best for a patient. Researchers can also use the software to build and&lt;br&gt;test their own brain-tapping technologies.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Please read more &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~anandk/neuro/Science%20--%20Wickelgren%20299%20%285606%29%20496.htm"&gt;http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~anandk/neuro/Science%20--%20Wickelgren%20299%20%285606%29%20496.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;br&gt;...&lt;br&gt;The basic framework for BCI2000 is now complete, and Wolpaw expects&lt;br&gt;details to be published soon. It has four easily adaptable modules&lt;br&gt;that handle the four essential functions of a BCI. One takes the raw&lt;br&gt;brain signal, amplifies it, and encodes it digitally. Another extracts&lt;br&gt;the desired features of the brain signal, such as a mu rhythm or P300&lt;br&gt;signal, and translates that signal into a command, such as movement of&lt;br&gt;a cursor in a certain direction. The third controls a device, say, one&lt;br&gt;that navigates the Internet or operates a prosthetic arm. And the&lt;br&gt;fourth allows a user to start and stop the BCI and to specify details,&lt;br&gt;such as the speed, of its operation.&lt;p&gt;The software has already had an impact on the field. In spring 2002,&lt;br&gt;South Florida&amp;#39;s Donchin needed to upgrade his BCI, which was&lt;br&gt;incompatible with state-of-the-art PCs, so he could start testing&lt;br&gt;disabled patients. Donchin met with Wolpaw and Schalk at a BCI&lt;br&gt;conference in Rensselaerville, New York, in June 2002 and described&lt;br&gt;his predicament. Schalk volunteered to do the necessary programming on&lt;br&gt;BCI2000. Within 2 weeks, Schalk managed to get Donchin&amp;#39;s BCI up and&lt;br&gt;running, enabling Donchin to bring it to New York City to test it on&lt;br&gt;his first patient (this author&amp;#39;s father) in September.&lt;p&gt;Georgia State&amp;#39;s Moore and her colleagues are using BCI2000 to develop&lt;br&gt;an environmental-control system that allows a user to turn on and off&lt;br&gt;lights, a television set, and a radio with brain waves. They&amp;#39;ve also&lt;br&gt;built a communication system in which a person can select words from a&lt;br&gt;list of nouns, verbs, and objects, and that will predict words and&lt;br&gt;even conversations, potentially providing faster communication than&lt;br&gt;traditional spellers allow. Their Web browser causes a cursor to hop&lt;br&gt;from one Web link to the next in response to altered brain signals.&lt;p&gt;So far these prototype applications have been largely tested on&lt;br&gt;simulated brain signals, but Moore has just started testing them on&lt;br&gt;healthy volunteers and will soon include patients with spinal cord&lt;br&gt;injuries or early-stage ALS. Eventually, Moore plans to run all of&lt;br&gt;these applications on a laptop mounted to a smart wheelchair under&lt;br&gt;development that will also be controlled by brain waves.&lt;p&gt;Please read more &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~anandk/neuro/Science%20--%20Wickelgren%20299%20%285606%29%20496.htm"&gt;http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~anandk/neuro/Science%20--%20Wickelgren%20299%20%285606%29%20496.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;p&gt;The other point is that it can create opinions, change them, make one&lt;br&gt;hate or love.&lt;p&gt;For example, one may start loving China or Hate it based on this&lt;br&gt;experiment. The same is true for Musical and any other religion,&lt;br&gt;community, civilizations and far more that words do not allow.&lt;p&gt;It has brought all human values, ethics and philosophical thinking to&lt;br&gt;collapse in the laboratories. The terrorism in the world, wars, and&lt;br&gt;all that we see, hear or view in media is just hiding this grave&lt;br&gt;experimentation leading to extinction of human wisdom.&lt;p&gt;We need to pay attention to it lest it is too late. Please pray or&lt;br&gt;seek that this global and thus universal suffering must come to an end&lt;br&gt;as soon as possible.

He is best known for&lt;br&gt;disbelieving Jesus&amp;#39; resurrection when first told of it, then&lt;br&gt;proclaiming &amp;quot;My Lord and my God&amp;quot; on seeing Jesus in John 20:28. He was&lt;br&gt;perhaps the only Apostle who went outside the Roman Empire to preach&lt;br&gt;the Gospel. He is also believed to have crossed the largest area,&lt;br&gt;which includes the Persian Empire and India. (Source: &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Apostle"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Apostle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Apostle"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Apostle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;p&gt;St. Thomas Christians and other Christian sects in Kerala History&lt;p&gt;The St. Thomas Christians of Kerala firmly believe that St. Thomas the&lt;br&gt;Apostle is the father of Christianity in India.  According to their&lt;br&gt;tradition, he landed at Maliankara, near Cranganore in 52 A.D.  He&lt;br&gt;preached Christianity first among the Jews and then converted twelve&lt;br&gt;Brahmin families from whom the Syrian Christians trace their&lt;br&gt;genealogy.  St. Thomas also founded seven churches at the following&lt;br&gt;places:  Maliankara, Palayur, Kottakavu, Quilon, Niranom, Nilakkal,&lt;br&gt;and Chayal.  After several years of work in Malabar, the Apostle went&lt;br&gt;to the Coromandel Coast (East Coast) where he was assassinated by&lt;br&gt;irate Brahmins (or by a hunter) in 72 A.D.  This tradition along with&lt;br&gt;many others legends is found in ancient Christian songs (seventeenth&lt;br&gt;century and later) like the Veeradian Pattu, Thomma Parvom, and Margom&lt;br&gt;Kali Pattu. The Acts of St. Thomas, an apocryphal work by the Syrian&lt;br&gt;Bardesan (220 A.D.) also mentions the missionary work and martyrdom of&lt;br&gt;St. Thomas in India. (Please read more &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.kerala.cc/keralahistory/index36.htm"&gt;http://www.kerala.cc/keralahistory/index36.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The lure of spices attracted traders from the Middle East and Europe&lt;br&gt;to the many trading ports - Calicut, Cranganore, Cochin, Alleppey and&lt;br&gt;Quilon - long before the time of Christ. And it was on a trading&lt;br&gt;vessel plying between Alexandria and the Malabar coast that St. Thomas&lt;br&gt;the Apostle arrived in Cranganore in 52 AD.&lt;p&gt;There he began preaching the Gospel. His teachings were accepted not&lt;br&gt;only by those who chose to become Christians but also by those who&lt;br&gt;chose to remain Hindus. The teachings eventually got integrated into&lt;br&gt;the beliefs and traditions of the local communities, into their family&lt;br&gt;history, into their songs and dances. St. Thomas established seven&lt;br&gt;Christian communities or churches in Kerala. They are in Cranganore,&lt;br&gt;Paravur(Kottakavu), Palayoor, Kokkamangalam, Malayattoor, Niranam,&lt;br&gt;Chayal (Nilackal) and Kollam (Quilon). Throughout Kerala, one can find&lt;br&gt;Christian families that are proud to claim descent from ancestors who&lt;br&gt;were baptized by Apostle Thomas. Sankarapuri, Pakalomattom and&lt;br&gt;Maliekal are the prominent ones. Some details of this combined&lt;br&gt;tradition may be found in songs - the &amp;quot;Rabban Pattu&amp;quot;, the &amp;quot;Veeradyan&lt;br&gt;Pattu&amp;quot;, the &amp;quot;Margam Kali Pattu&amp;quot; and others that now exist in written&lt;br&gt;records.&lt;p&gt;The Church in Kerala had a high missionary spirit. Christians from&lt;br&gt;Malabar spread their faith as far as Maldives and Indonesia.&lt;p&gt;St. Thomas Christians were considered high caste, along the Hindu&lt;br&gt;tradition, with special privileges granted by the kings. The&lt;br&gt;archdeacon was the head of the Church, and Palliyogams (Parish&lt;br&gt;Councils) were in charge of temporal affairs. There were women&lt;br&gt;deacons. They had a liturgy-centered life with days of fasting and&lt;br&gt;abstinence. Their devotion to the St. Thomas Cross was absolute. Their&lt;br&gt;churches were modelled after Hindu temples. In short, the St. Thomas&lt;br&gt;Christians of Kerala had blended well the ecclesiastical world of the&lt;br&gt;East Syrian Church with the socio-cultural environment of their&lt;br&gt;homeland. Thus, the East Syrian Church was Hindu in culture, Christian&lt;br&gt;in religion and Syro-Oriental in worship.&lt;p&gt;Please read more &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.indianembassy.org/new/newdelhipressfile/kerala_christianity.html"&gt;http://www.indianembassy.org/new/newdelhipressfile/kerala_christianity.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;p&gt;The attacks on Christians is not from the Indian Faiths and Religions&lt;br&gt;or mentality, but it seems the global crises of ethics and value&lt;br&gt;system creating disturbance everywhere.&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your reading it.</description><link>http://familyandwe.blogspot.com/2010/05/kerala-asias-cradle-of-christianity.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Harmander Singh)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248143754997973700.post-2028332414539020872</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 May 2010 06:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-18T23:51:40.012-07:00</atom:updated><title>Hypnosis is Used in Study of Emotions</title><description>(NaturalNews) There is a lot still to be learned about emotions.&lt;br&gt;Approximately 20 years ago, researchers were under the impression that&lt;br&gt;emotions and feelings originated with the heart, not the brain. They&lt;br&gt;also believed that emotions could not be measured with scientific&lt;br&gt;research. In more recent years, researchers have found that emotions&lt;br&gt;can play a major role in a person&amp;#39;s overall health. A non-invasive way&lt;br&gt;to study feelings and emotions is through the use of hypnotherapy and&lt;br&gt;brain images (Brain &amp;amp; Emotions Research).&lt;p&gt;Feelings and emotions are created from one&amp;#39;s own perception. When a&lt;br&gt;person feels a specific emotion, it is usually triggered by a thought&lt;br&gt;and this thought is triggered by a past experience. This process can&lt;br&gt;occur consciously or unconsciously without a person realizing it.&lt;br&gt;Examples of emotions include happiness, joy, and contentment which are&lt;br&gt;all positive emotions. Negative emotions include fear, anger, and&lt;br&gt;pain.&lt;p&gt;Basically, there are good emotions and bad emotions. Emotions reside&lt;br&gt;in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind tells the conscious&lt;br&gt;mind how to feel. Of course, people would rather feel good emotions&lt;br&gt;instead of bad emotions. The subconscious mind can be accessed using&lt;br&gt;hypnosis to change negative emotions into positive emotions (Oso).&lt;p&gt;One study looked at hypnotic suggestion, emotions, and pain. Hypnotic&lt;br&gt;suggestion was used to induce specific emotions. Then, the researchers&lt;br&gt;looked at how the various emotional states affected pain. They found&lt;br&gt;negative emotions such as fear and sadness increased the level of&lt;br&gt;perceived pain in participants. However, when positive emotions were&lt;br&gt;hypnotically induced, the positive emotions that resulted were static&lt;br&gt;and did not continue to increase. The significance of this study is&lt;br&gt;that certain emotions can be created with hypnosis without side&lt;br&gt;effects. The induction of hypnosis gives more control to the&lt;br&gt;researcher and does not create secondary emotions.&lt;p&gt;Other studies have used hypnosis on the study of emotions using both&lt;br&gt;highly suggestible and low suggestible participants. When highly&lt;br&gt;suggestible participants were given hypnotic suggestions to be&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;emotionally numb&amp;#39; or unaffected by either positive or negative&lt;br&gt;emotions, researchers found that they were not susceptible to the&lt;br&gt;emotions and that the hypnotic suggestions were able to produce a&lt;br&gt;numbing affect on their emotions. When comparing highly suggestible&lt;br&gt;people to low suggestible people, the highly suggestible participants&lt;br&gt;experience more emotional numbing (Rainville, 2002).&lt;p&gt;The study of hypnotic suggestions plays a positive role in studying&lt;br&gt;the science of emotions. It gives researchers control over what&lt;br&gt;emotions to induce. By studying both highly suggestible people and low&lt;br&gt;suggestible people, it gives researchers greater insight into the&lt;br&gt;study of emotion.&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Sources&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;p&gt;Brain &amp;amp; Emotions Research.

Thanks to this desire for strategic control over&lt;br&gt;territories, the twentieth century was the bloodiest in human history,&lt;br&gt;with more people being lost to war, greed and conquest than during any&lt;br&gt;single century in recorded history (including the centuries spanning&lt;br&gt;Greek and Roman civilizations).&lt;p&gt;War remains as supported as ever today, and in fact, many nations&lt;br&gt;actually thirst for war. Just look at the pro-war coverage on Fox News&lt;br&gt;and the unending war games being played on computers and game consoles&lt;br&gt;by young men who find entertainment in war. (In fact, the U.S. Army is&lt;br&gt;actually recruiting young men now through a free, downloadable video&lt;br&gt;game that teaches young boys how to pick up a rifle and kill people&lt;br&gt;with it.)&lt;p&gt;Why some nations create war&lt;p&gt;The people of some nations actually create war (or support it) in&lt;br&gt;their quest to express a sense of nationalistic heroism. Failing&lt;br&gt;nations need heroes, and when those heroes are no longer found in the&lt;br&gt;realms of science, art, politics or global achievement, they will be&lt;br&gt;fabricated from the false victories of war.&lt;p&gt;The tearful American mom whose son dies in Iraq is, indeed, suffering&lt;br&gt;a tremendous personal loss, but her loss is a necessary part of&lt;br&gt;feeding the population&amp;#39;s desire to proclaim there are heroes among&lt;br&gt;them. Through the sacrificing of young men who are killed in Iraq, the&lt;br&gt;people of America can find common connection, righteousness, and&lt;br&gt;purpose where none existed before. War gives meaning to empty lives,&lt;br&gt;and it delivers a masochistic form of entertainment to those who are&lt;br&gt;too young, too old or too wealthy to participate. This is precisely&lt;br&gt;why, throughout human history, the leaders of failing nations have&lt;br&gt;habitually turned to military imperialism as a method to distract the&lt;br&gt;people from far more serious problems at home. When the sons of a&lt;br&gt;nation are returning home in body bags, nobody pays much attention to&lt;br&gt;failures in education or the economy.&lt;p&gt;This is not to say that there are not some instances in which going to&lt;br&gt;war has genuine justification. When a nation is threatened by an&lt;br&gt;invading force, for example, going to war to defend your own land&lt;br&gt;against invading aggressors is not only necessary, it is also truly&lt;br&gt;heroic. Defending your own land is courageous; invading your&lt;br&gt;neighbor&amp;#39;s land is cowardly. (Some people claim, by the way, that the&lt;br&gt;only way to protect America&amp;#39;s land is to invade other countries first.&lt;br&gt;This concept, called &amp;quot;preemptive war&amp;quot; is based on mass distortions&lt;br&gt;used to falsely justify actions of war.)&lt;p&gt;In America today, the thirst for war remains as strong as ever. But&lt;br&gt;the real war being waged on the world right now by America is not&lt;br&gt;merely found in the limited military action in the Middle East. That&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;only the blunt instrument of this war. The real American invasion is&lt;br&gt;happening through foods, medicines, personal care products,&lt;br&gt;international banking and intellectual property law. Through the&lt;br&gt;proliferation of fast food restaurants, pharmaceutical companies,&lt;br&gt;chemically-contaminated consumer products and similar items invented&lt;br&gt;in America, the world is being bombarded by systems of food, medicine&lt;br&gt;and distorted intellectual property claims that are producing far more&lt;br&gt;casualties than any bombs-and-bullets war.&lt;p&gt;How to control a nation&lt;p&gt;In World War II, the Germans attempted to steal natural resources from&lt;br&gt;neighboring nations by forcefully occupying and controlling the&lt;br&gt;targeted territories. Today, war is far more sophisticated: America&lt;br&gt;steals national resources by patenting seeds, genes, medicines and&lt;br&gt;ideas, then applying economic and political pressure against targeted&lt;br&gt;nations to forcefully take a cut of their productivity through the&lt;br&gt;application of intellectual property law. Only Thailand has offered&lt;br&gt;any sort of resistance in an attempt to protect its people from the&lt;br&gt;predatory, monopolistic drug pricing of Big Pharma, for example, but&lt;br&gt;most countries just go right along and pay tribute to the western&lt;br&gt;world through outrageous patent royalties on medicines that should&lt;br&gt;belong to the people.&lt;p&gt;If that&amp;#39;s not enough to dominate the targeted nation&amp;#39;s economy,&lt;br&gt;America sends in the World Bank. The World Bank makes predatory loans&lt;br&gt;to desperate nations, knowing full well they cannot pay them back. It&lt;br&gt;then uses the leverage of debt to invade those nations with western&lt;br&gt;financial institutions. Those banks and lending institutions&lt;br&gt;subsequently turn around and engage in predatory financial practices&lt;br&gt;that soak the people of the target nation, skimming off productivity&lt;br&gt;and exporting it back to the West where rich white men cash in&lt;br&gt;billions without a single honest day&amp;#39;s work.&lt;p&gt;The World Trade Organization, for its part, makes sure that targeted&lt;br&gt;nations comply with imperialistic western trade practices. The huge&lt;br&gt;push of Big Tobacco into Asia, for example, is the result of support&lt;br&gt;by &amp;quot;world trade&amp;quot; proponents who threatened to impose trade sanctions&lt;br&gt;against Asian nations if they tried to ban cigarette advertising.&lt;br&gt;Today, more than a third of Chinese men are addicted to cigarettes,&lt;br&gt;generating billions in annual profits for Big Tobacco companies who&lt;br&gt;are right now producing more Chinese casualties than any war in&lt;br&gt;China&amp;#39;s long history.&lt;p&gt;Western medicine is also invading the continents around the world,&lt;br&gt;bringing its expensive, heartless and corporate-controlled system of&lt;br&gt;medicine to nations who were actually far healthier, happier and more&lt;br&gt;financially solvent before America showed up with all its patented&lt;br&gt;chemicals. Chinese medicine, for example, is routinely discredited in&lt;br&gt;China by arrogant Chinese doctors who went to med school in America&lt;br&gt;then returned home to betray their own fellow citizens. Drug companies&lt;br&gt;see China&amp;#39;s one billion people as nothing more than revenue-generating&lt;br&gt;patients, and convincing all those people to take more medicines will&lt;br&gt;require a well-planned, well-funded economic and philosophical assault&lt;br&gt;on Chinese medicine. Essentially, Big Pharma must find a way to&lt;br&gt;disconnect the Chinese from their heritage, turning them all into&lt;br&gt;depressed, diseased &amp;quot;white&amp;quot; consumers whose medical mythology worships&lt;br&gt;the falsehoods of western reductionism.&lt;p&gt;Please read more &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/021873_America_medicine_disease.html"&gt;http://www.naturalnews.com/021873_America_medicine_disease.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;to help one another humanly.&lt;p&gt;Some active links in the above articles are present at &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/021873_America_medicine_disease.html"&gt;http://www.naturalnews.com/021873_America_medicine_disease.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;read&lt;br&gt;more&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

It is any harmful action taken against another living&lt;br&gt;entity that disregards its consciousness or awareness. In this essay,&lt;br&gt;we&amp;#39;ll explore some of the levels of cruelty: how it happens, how it&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;defined, and what we can do to help end cruelty and enhance compassion&lt;br&gt;in the world. Cruelty exists in three distinct realms: cruelty against&lt;br&gt;mankind, cruelty against animals, and finally, cruelty against nature.&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s start with cruelty against mankind, in which one individual may&lt;br&gt;be cruel to another for a variety of reasons, usually relating to&lt;br&gt;gaining personal control over resources (food, money, etc.) or other&lt;br&gt;people. This concept of personal gain is an important factor in&lt;br&gt;understanding human cruelty, since individuals are usually only cruel&lt;br&gt;to others because they gain something from it. In fact, this is&lt;br&gt;designed into our behavior and has been carried through our ancestry&lt;br&gt;for hundreds of thousands of years. Picture this: two cavemen are&lt;br&gt;sitting around a fire at the end of the day. One spent hours gathering&lt;br&gt;berries, and the other has nothing. The caveman with nothing can&lt;br&gt;attack the caveman with the berries, take his fruit, and be all the&lt;br&gt;more successful for it, at least in terms of survival and control of&lt;br&gt;resources.&lt;p&gt;From an anthropological point of view, there is an incentive for&lt;br&gt;deceit, theft, and even harming other individuals, as long as it&lt;br&gt;results in some sort of personal gain. In fact, we see this across&lt;br&gt;virtually all species, but especially in those that are most closely&lt;br&gt;related to humans, such as primates.&lt;p&gt;Today, we see the very same thing happening when one nation attacks&lt;br&gt;another nation in order to control its resources. Attacking a nation&lt;br&gt;to take control of its oil supply is essentially the same as beating a&lt;br&gt;caveman over the head and stealing his berries. It just goes to show&lt;br&gt;how little we&amp;#39;ve actually advanced over the years.&lt;p&gt;This brings us to a salient point: ending cruelty requires moving past&lt;br&gt;our ancestral roots, and past the behaviors that are programmed into&lt;br&gt;us because they once helped us succeed in an uncivilized world. Today&lt;br&gt;we have to recognize that cruelty is not acceptable in the&lt;br&gt;international community. It is not acceptable to attack and kill other&lt;br&gt;human beings for any reason, and certainly not to take control of&lt;br&gt;their resources in order to enrich ourselves.&lt;p&gt;Likewise, it is not acceptable to exploit poverty-wage labor in&lt;br&gt;third-world countries in order to enrich corporations and their CEOs&lt;br&gt;in developed nations. But this is no anti-trade rant: free trade is&lt;br&gt;essential for lifting poor nations out of poverty, but only when&lt;br&gt;combined with mechanisms that respect the sanctity of human life such&lt;br&gt;as safe working conditions, living wages, and a system of recognizing&lt;br&gt;private property ownership for the poor. Read &amp;quot;The Mystery of Capital&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;by Hernando DeSoto, which is among the most important economic books&lt;br&gt;of the last 100 years, to learn the real reasons why free trade has&lt;br&gt;failed to provide economic freedoms for underdeveloped nations (and&lt;br&gt;what we can do to change that).&lt;p&gt;Beyond war and economics, we also see cruelty in the world of&lt;br&gt;medicine. Conventional medicine has a long and sordid history of using&lt;br&gt;human beings for medical experiments, even right here in the United&lt;br&gt;States. In fact, news recently surfaced about a hospital that had been&lt;br&gt;using retarded children in radiation experiments.&lt;br&gt;[link=&amp;#39;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-08,GGLD:en&amp;amp;q=retarded+children+radiation+experiments+hospital&amp;#39;]Click"&gt;http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-08,GGLD:en&amp;amp;q=retarded+children+radiation+experiments+hospital&amp;#39;]Click&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;here for a Google search on this topic.[/link]&lt;p&gt;This and many other medical experiments have been conducted on living,&lt;br&gt;breathing people right here in the United States. This is one of the&lt;br&gt;most egregious forms of cruelty, in that it is a harmful action taken&lt;br&gt;against these people, and that it refuses to recognize the&lt;br&gt;consciousness, spirit or awareness of these individuals. Just because&lt;br&gt;someone cannot speak in words that we understand, or communicate with&lt;br&gt;us in the manner in which we are used to communicating, doesn&amp;#39;t mean&lt;br&gt;that they don&amp;#39;t feel pain, fear, pleasure or love. Thus, these medical&lt;br&gt;experiments are a horrifying form of cruelty, and many continue to&lt;br&gt;this day (behind closed doors, of course).&lt;p&gt;Please read more at &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/006319_cruelty_to_animals.html"&gt;http://www.naturalnews.com/006319_cruelty_to_animals.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;p&gt;P.S.: Some active links present in this article can be viewed and read&lt;br&gt;at &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/006319_cruelty_to_animals.html"&gt;http://www.naturalnews.com/006319_cruelty_to_animals.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;read&lt;br&gt;more&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.</description><link>http://familyandwe.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-end-cruelty-to-people-animals.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Harmander Singh)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248143754997973700.post-6523895984370335730</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 May 2010 06:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-18T23:22:46.906-07:00</atom:updated><title>Wild Neighbors - The Humane Approach to Living with Wildlife</title><description>Every year billions of animals are killed for food, fur, laboratory&lt;br&gt;experiments, or are used and abused for entertainment.

What type of detox do you focus on?&lt;p&gt;Dr. Haas: Well, detoxification involves getting rid of things from the&lt;br&gt;body as well as stopping toxins and irritants in the body, those&lt;br&gt;things that our body does not handle well or that cause damage,&lt;br&gt;inflammation, irritation or over-stimulation in the case of caffeine&lt;br&gt;or over-sedation in the case of alcohol. Now, when people think of&lt;br&gt;detox, they think of drug addicts who need to go into a detox center.&lt;br&gt;However, there are many others who could benefit from detox. It is&lt;br&gt;really the more common, everyday people who have habits that I call a&lt;br&gt;SNACC -- which stands for sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and&lt;br&gt;chemicals. Probably well over 90 percent of people have a habit of at&lt;br&gt;least one of these substances. I think over time our habits are what&lt;br&gt;create our problems, especially what we eat.&lt;p&gt;Mike: So, that&amp;#39;s sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals?&lt;p&gt;Dr. Haas: SNACC -- sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals.&lt;br&gt;The chapters in the book, The New Detox Diet, cover each of those.&lt;p&gt;Mike: When you say chemicals, what type of chemicals are you referring to?&lt;p&gt;Dr. Haas: I am referring to food chemicals in processed foods, food&lt;br&gt;additives, food coloring and food flavoring. I am referring to&lt;br&gt;chemicals that we use in over-the-counter medicines and even&lt;br&gt;prescription medicines. I am not telling people just to go off all&lt;br&gt;these things, although getting off the food chemicals certainly does&lt;br&gt;not hurt.&lt;p&gt;I find if we go through the detoxification process, we do not just&lt;br&gt;turn to medicines or drugs. If we do not feel well, we more clearly&lt;br&gt;ask ourselves, &amp;quot;Why am I not feeling well? What is the problem? What&lt;br&gt;are the causes of this problem?&amp;quot; We do this through an integrated&lt;br&gt;approach, and we don&amp;#39;t just say, &amp;quot;What can I take to make this to go&lt;br&gt;away?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;We focus more on why a problem is present and what is needed for&lt;br&gt;healing. Typically, one of my overall philosophies in medicine and&lt;br&gt;healthcare is that our body -- and how we feel and how we look and&lt;br&gt;whether we are healthy or not -- is result of our life. It has to do&lt;br&gt;with our genetics, our upbringing and the way we go about living --&lt;br&gt;our diet, our exercise levels and our stresses. Even illnesses that we&lt;br&gt;have had over time and how we went about treating them can be a&lt;br&gt;factor.&lt;p&gt;We often just treat symptoms with drugs and don&amp;#39;t really work on why&lt;br&gt;the symptoms presented themselves in the first place. Most of us do&lt;br&gt;not live perfectly. Most of us do not live in a way that creates&lt;br&gt;disease. I encourage people to support health.

Detoxification&lt;br&gt;involves both things.

What I have found since I became a&lt;br&gt;doctor in early 70s is that I must get people to shift their attitude&lt;br&gt;to a more positive one and remind them that this is the only body they&lt;br&gt;have, so they must think, &amp;quot;I am going to love it, and I am going to&lt;br&gt;take care of it.&amp;quot; If I can instill that attitude and inspire that&lt;br&gt;attitude in my patients or people who read my books or people who hear&lt;br&gt;me speak in public, they are likely going to eat better and exercise&lt;br&gt;and make sure they get proper sleep and can deal with stressors.&lt;br&gt;Attitude is really an important factor.&lt;p&gt;Mike: I want to talk about your philosophy that certain elements of&lt;br&gt;nutrition are necessary but others -- like the elements SNACC -- must&lt;br&gt;be avoided.

What type of detox do you focus on? Dr. Haas: Well, detoxification involves getting rid of things from the body as well as stopping toxins and irritants in the body, those things that our body does not handle well or that cause damage, inflammation, irritation or over-stimulation in the case of caffeine or over-sedation in the case of alcohol. Now, when people think of detox, they think of drug addicts who need to go into a detox center. However, there are many others who could benefit from detox. It is really the more common, everyday people who have habits that I call a SNACC -- which stands for sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals. Probably well over 90 percent of people have a habit of at least one of these substances. I think over time our habits are what create our problems, especially what we eat. Mike: So, that&amp;#39;s sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals? Dr. Haas: SNACC -- sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals. The chapters in the book, The New Detox Diet, cover each of those. Mike: When you say chemicals, what type of chemicals are you referring to? Dr. Haas: I am referring to food chemicals in processed foods, food additives, food coloring and food flavoring. I am referring to chemicals that we use in over-the-counter medicines and even prescription medicines. I am not telling people just to go off all these things, although getting off the food chemicals certainly does not hurt. I find if we go through the detoxification process, we do not just turn to medicines or drugs. If we do not feel well, we more clearly ask ourselves, &amp;quot;Why am I not feeling well? What is the problem? What are the causes of this problem?&amp;quot; We do this through an integrated approach, and we don&amp;#39;t just say, &amp;quot;What can I take to make this to go away?&amp;quot; We focus more on why a problem is present and what is needed for healing. Typically, one of my overall philosophies in medicine and healthcare is that our body -- and how we feel and how we look and whether we are healthy or not -- is result of our life. It has to do with our genetics, our upbringing and the way we go about living -- our diet, our exercise levels and our stresses. Even illnesses that we have had over time and how we went about treating them can be a factor. We often just treat symptoms with drugs and don&amp;#39;t really work on why the symptoms presented themselves in the first place. Most of us do not live perfectly. Most of us do not live in a way that creates disease. I encourage people to support health. I do what I call &amp;quot;health care,&amp;quot; and I do less &amp;quot;disease care.&amp;quot; In other words, I focus people on the positive -- the things that they can do -- and also on the negative -- the things that they should avoid.

It is real importance is:&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We live and die at the cellular level. All the cells (billions of&lt;br&gt;them) that make up the human body are slightly alkaline, and must&lt;br&gt;maintain alkalinity in order to function and remain healthy and alive.&lt;br&gt;However their cellular activity creates acid and this acid is what&lt;br&gt;gives the cell energy and function. As each alkaline cell performs its&lt;br&gt;task of respiration, it secretes metabolic wastes, and these end&lt;br&gt;products of cellular metabolism are acid in nature. Although these&lt;br&gt;wastes are used for energy and function, they must not be allowed to&lt;br&gt;build up. One example of this is the often painful lactic acid which&lt;br&gt;is created through exercise. The body will go to great lengths to&lt;br&gt;neutralize and detoxify these acids before they act as poisons in and&lt;br&gt;around the cell, ultimately changing the environment of the cell. Most&lt;br&gt;people and clinical practitioners believe the immune system is the&lt;br&gt;body&amp;#39;s first line of defense, but in actuality it is not. It is very&lt;br&gt;important, but more like a very sophisticated clean-up service. We&lt;br&gt;must instead look at the importance of pH balance as the first and&lt;br&gt;major line of defense against sickness and disease and for health and&lt;br&gt;vitality.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Please read more &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/phbalancearticle.html"&gt;http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/phbalancearticle.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;p&gt;For more details, please click &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.google.co.in/#hl=en&amp;amp;source=hp&amp;amp;q=how+to+balance+ph+levels+in+the+body&amp;amp;aq=0&amp;amp;aqi=g1&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=how+to+balance+ph+level&amp;amp;gs_rfai=&amp;amp;fp=45b189d2bd83ff04"&gt;http://www.google.co.in/#hl=en&amp;amp;source=hp&amp;amp;q=how+to+balance+ph+levels+in+the+body&amp;amp;aq=0&amp;amp;aqi=g1&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=how+to+balance+ph+level&amp;amp;gs_rfai=&amp;amp;fp=45b189d2bd83ff04&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;p&gt;Thanks and please take care of your pH level.</description><link>http://familyandwe.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-balance-ph-levels-in-our-body.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Harmander Singh)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248143754997973700.post-1023301882650302742</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 May 2010 06:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-15T23:40:35.818-07:00</atom:updated><title>Health Problems of Present and Future - Are You Aware about the  Difference We Can Make Together</title><description>There are so many mental health problems. However, as my approach is&lt;br&gt;from Ayurveda - Yoga and Naturopathy with guidelines from Natural&lt;br&gt;Philosophy and Humanistic Psychology, I differ in approach and it does&lt;br&gt;not deny that these diseases do not exist.&lt;p&gt;In Indian way, as I have described above considers that human body and&lt;br&gt;mind can be diseased, but not the conscience. So, one is never&lt;br&gt;considered sick or diseased, but body and mind can be. The conscience&lt;br&gt;or as some people also call it soul does not get sick.&lt;p&gt;We know it well said and thus prayed: &amp;quot;O Dear God! I strong in the&lt;br&gt;spirit, but weak in the flesh, so please help me&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;This weakness in flesh includes all parts and organs of  body that&lt;br&gt;also included our brain (or mind the activities of brain, and you know&lt;br&gt;it better than me).&lt;p&gt;We notice that if someone goes into a well, and when oxygen is very&lt;br&gt;low feels grabbed or held by spirits is a common problem. The same&lt;br&gt;problem is there when there is lack of not just oxygen, but social,&lt;br&gt;economical, psychological, biological and all that relates to body and&lt;br&gt;mind and thus its proper functioning and coordination.&lt;p&gt;If one in the presence of all that is needed does show mental symptoms&lt;br&gt;(it includes greed, corruption, dictatorship, self-righteousness and&lt;br&gt;so many other things, which person in good conditions may not accept&lt;br&gt;as abnormal, but we know it is also psychological problem). Moreover,&lt;br&gt;what we say disease, it is more natural as pollution causes diereses.&lt;p&gt;We are not able to give company to others that want to communicate,&lt;br&gt;and a stage comes when they really become sick and thus it seems that&lt;br&gt;they are really sick and diseased. However, initially, they may be&lt;br&gt;fit. Moreover, good company and living in commune with nature makes&lt;br&gt;lesser effects of shadows that human our subconscious mind and one&lt;br&gt;hears voices, the hidden motive overpowering super ego and thus one&lt;br&gt;may easily lose control on actions that ego controls with the help of&lt;br&gt;super ego. The id level starts to create strong compulsive disorders&lt;br&gt;that seem as if one is being compelled. This compulsion is very normal&lt;br&gt;as there is no super ego and less ego control.&lt;p&gt;So, I am not saying that there is anything wrong, but how long one can&lt;br&gt;dwell on medicines and treatments, when all have some potential that&lt;br&gt;they do not know to use. It seems there is need of change in way the&lt;br&gt;patients are treated. Our doctors and technologists experiment on&lt;br&gt;millions of animals and birds and derive theories from them, but the&lt;br&gt;natural philosophy is to observe human nature and not do&lt;br&gt;experimentation as it may harm our originality. In the influence of&lt;br&gt;drugs, one may think and behave abnormally, but it does not mean one&lt;br&gt;can never recover with help from all. What we lost is faith and trust,&lt;br&gt;the resulting suspicion seem to have made us mentally sick one way or&lt;br&gt;the other from hypertension to all that we can include in the mental&lt;br&gt;health problem.&lt;p&gt;Our social structure has gone beyond all ethics and value systems,&lt;br&gt;resulting in our doubting one another. Most of us are afraid of being&lt;br&gt;cheated, robbed, abused, threatened and all kinds of loses. It can&lt;br&gt;never be cured simply by brain surgeries or anything similar including&lt;br&gt;the drugs as we need good quality in all that relates to our body and&lt;br&gt;mind, and thus the pollution and corruption free environment.&lt;p&gt;The drugs and removing affected parts of brain by surgery may not&lt;br&gt;convince the conscience as one knows what is wrong in the society. If&lt;br&gt;it keeps going on, we may react out of apathy and artificial effects&lt;br&gt;of compulsive commands known as &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.johnbutlertrio.com/central/viewtopic.php?id=588"&gt;http://www.johnbutlertrio.com/central/viewtopic.php?id=588&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;buy&lt;br&gt;or die button&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;p&gt;The &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://agricultural-biotechnology.suite101.com/article.cfm/harms-of-genetically-modified-food-crops"&gt;http://agricultural-biotechnology.suite101.com/article.cfm/harms-of-genetically-modified-food-crops&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;food&lt;br&gt;problems&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; are also harming us.&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.humansfuture.org/artificial_intelligence_robotics.php.htm"&gt;http://www.humansfuture.org/artificial_intelligence_robotics.php.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Artificial&lt;br&gt;Intelligence&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; needs attention and &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.enchantedmind.com/html/science/artificial_intelligence.html"&gt;http://www.enchantedmind.com/html/science/artificial_intelligence.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;Nanotechnology&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;as well.&lt;p&gt;The other discussions include Nano, GM, and whatever artificial it can&lt;br&gt;be as on this site: &lt;a href="http://www.nanoethics.org/paper032706.html"&gt;http://www.nanoethics.org/paper032706.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;If not checked by the world community, we the humans; all of it can&lt;br&gt;almost kill the human conscience, and finally the existence of life.&lt;p&gt;We need to be aware, and help one another.

We mostly dwell and live on self-assumed assumptions that are&lt;br&gt;not compatible with nature and its laws and principles. As most of us&lt;br&gt;are habitual of living in the conditioned way, our reactions towards&lt;br&gt;life and lifestyle are similar and we all know what others think of us&lt;br&gt;when we consider our behavior and also appearance and personality as&lt;br&gt;you have rightly said. It makes us more psycho (the psyche problem)&lt;br&gt;and less thinkers as we do not have skill of expressing personal&lt;br&gt;feelings and opinions that need the communication skill as you have&lt;br&gt;used, we do not have way to express due to fear of rejection, the&lt;br&gt;other impact of psychological conditioning that controls the social&lt;br&gt;behavior and trends. Lot can said and written about it, but all is&lt;br&gt;hidden in what you have said in a question - &amp;quot;Why do we constantly&lt;br&gt;fight natural occurances?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for sharing your insight.&lt;p&gt;You may kindly read the full post in the thread at the &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.lifedynamix.com/community/forum/hair-loss-87/hair-loss-a-concern-or-an-inevitable-naturally-occuring-event/"&gt;http://www.lifedynamix.com/community/forum/hair-loss-87/hair-loss-a-concern-or-an-inevitable-naturally-occuring-event/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;forum&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;p&gt;Enjoying nature as is.</description><link>http://familyandwe.blogspot.com/2010/05/hair-loss-jason-advices.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Harmander Singh)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248143754997973700.post-4947174788156664743</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 May 2010 01:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-15T18:42:03.971-07:00</atom:updated><title>Should the Medical and Technological World Set the World Ethics -  Philosophy and Ethics</title><description>We understand that world does not need it and thus the end of surgical&lt;br&gt;barbarism known as the lobotomy, it is very wonderful &amp;lt;a&lt;br&gt;href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://factoidz.com/the-end-of-surgical-barbarism-known-as-the-lobotomy/"&gt;http://factoidz.com/the-end-of-surgical-barbarism-known-as-the-lobotomy/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;article&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;br&gt;We need more attention to advance level technology used in medical&lt;br&gt;world that may harm the free will and its freedom of use.&lt;p&gt;The world ethics are set by philosophers and thinkers, not the&lt;br&gt;doctors, who in many parts of the world seem to be technologists as&lt;br&gt;they are technically skilled in surgical and other works. So, in a&lt;br&gt;way, the machine and computers seem to control humans, animals and&lt;br&gt;other living ones, including the philosophy of the world, we the&lt;br&gt;humans. It seems to true to many people.&lt;p&gt;It may seem as if one assume oneself a victim, but by all means&lt;br&gt;whatever wrong, the unethical and inhuman happens in the natural&lt;br&gt;world, including humans is global suffering and if we can feel it, we&lt;br&gt;can think about it.
