Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Mr Gore referred to climate change as a "planetary emergency".
He said he hoped for a positive outcome from the UN climate talks in Bali.
The chairman of Mr Gore's co-laureate, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said climate change threatened human security.
"Societies have a long record of adapting to the impacts of weather and climate," said Rajendra Pachauri, the Indian engineer who has chaired the IPCC since 2002.
"But climate change poses novel risks often outside the range of experience."

Creating Heaven
It doesn't really matter what we believe. But there is one thing I'm sure of. We all begin creating heaven by everything we think, feel, do or say right here right now. It is by taking responsibility for our thoughts feelings and actions that it all begins.
I remember reading how some Japanese people liked to go to the Japanese Disneyland because they perceived it to be a PURE LAND. This is another way of describing a heaven in Japanese culture. In other words it is possible to create a heaven on earth or to go to a heaven on earth. I have always understood this. I think this came from my ancestors who colonized America in coming from Europe. Heaven was always right here, right over the next hill, in the next meadow, next to the next lake or ocean. Heaven is here right where we are.
Like my parents and grandparents if I found a place somewhat destroyed by too many people it was always easy to go to some place better. However, now more and more there aren't as many "nice" places left on earth because of just too many people everywhere. So now more and more we have to create our own heavens starting in our minds and hearts and doing what is still possible here on earth.
As a precognitive psychic I can sense the incredible change on earth. Not just in humans but in ALL LIVING THINGS. I can sense whole species going extinct now but also new species never touched before by man being discovered in the Antarctic waters and also in addition to this new species being created from a bacterial level to survival modifications taking place within thousands of species including humans.
To have peace in ones heart in all times is a challenge past, present and future. However, peace IS possible in all times and Heaven is possible in all times. When you are experiencing heaven remember to pray for all those who aren't. That is the key to true peace. For how can any one of us really enjoy heaven while even one of us is still suffering otherwise.

Tibetan Suicide Bombers?
Tibetan Suicide Bombers?Very unlikely. Though this is Chinese propaganda in Chinese news, killing other people goes completely against the major principles of Buddhism. Since Tibetan Buddhists tend to take their religion very seriously there is no likelihood that there would ever be suicide bombers who were also Tibetan Buddhist.
However, it is possible that secular Tibetan Nationalists who are seeing there 3000 year old civilization completely destroyed by the Chinese might consider being Suicide bombers as a last resort but they would have nothing to do with Tibetan Buddhism or The Dalai Lama or the Tibetan Government in Exile.
NO. What I think is really happening is that the Chinese government is in trouble on multiple fronts and is looking for a scapegoat so the Chinese government doesn't collapse from within from private business losses sustained by members of the Communist party and from graft and bribes. The difficulty in maintaining secrecy while so many Chinese are starving will be hard to reconcile for the average Chinese citizen. So if the Chinese Government cannot divert attention away from itself somehow it could collapse from within eventually.

Shanghai Stocks dive 45% since October
Shanghai Stocks dive 45% since October. You think you've got problems. What if you were an unwise investor in Shanghai Stocks?
Begin quote." The Shanghai composite index has plunged 45 percent from its high, reached last October. The first quarter of this year, which ended Monday with a huge sell-off, was the worst ever for the market.
Suddenly, millions of small investors who were crowding into brokerage houses, spending the entire day there playing cards, trading stocks, eating noodles and cheering on the markets with other day traders and retirees, are feeling depressed and angry.
"These days my family quarrels a lot," says Zhang Liying, 55, a retired hotel waitress who with her husband invested all their savings in the stock market. “My husband asked me to sell; I wanted to hold for a while. Now my husband condemns me as so stupid that we lost our family’s savings.” endquote

The article at the above URL is called "To see a stock Market bubble bursting, Look at Shanghai" in the new york times "online" published april 2nd, 2008
Reading about Chinese citizens who have lost everything in this crash and who likely won't be able to ever retire because of it is very sobering. Just remember this when you are feeling sorry for yourself here in the US or Europe.
Though the suffering is widespread in the US because of the subprime and sharklike hedge fund investors and others selling short Bear Stearns and other investment banks still most people here haven't lost up to 50% of the value of their stock portfolios like in Shanghai.

The Belief Gene
The Belief Gene. Genetic researchers have found one gene that flipped one way causes belief and flipped the other way causes an agnostic or atheist. Most people have the gene flipped toward belief. However, if you are one of those with the gene flipped the other way don't despair. In studying anthropology it is noted that all genes and all traits exist within humans and all species to enable our species and all species to survive anything.
For example, if most of the human race follows some religious crazy off a cliff like lemmings to their deaths like the Jim Jones group in Central America then you won't have that problem and your children will survive.
So, whether you have that gene flipped toward belief of non-belief you are necessary to the ongoing survival of the human race.
Since I and most people have the gene flipped toward belief I would like to speak about that now. In another of my blogs I noted that when I was about 21 I realized that I only believed in God with about 85% to 95% of my perceptions at that time. I also realized that if there was no God or purpose to my life that I would quickly choose to end it. I also realized that since I would die soon without a belief in God and purpose to everything that I would need to pretend to believe in God with the 5% to 15%(depending on the day) that didn't believe in order to stay alive as a human on planet earth.
As I have grown older I have met more and more people who have had exactly the same experience that I had including my wife. What we both did was to imagine(experience) what life would be like without the peace of a belief in God. Doing this for both of us was the single most horrifying experience we have ever had. By taking away all meaning and belief from ones life one is left only with bare animal instincts and complete selfishness. From that point of view it is only kill or be killed. Nothing matters except ones own survival.
Yes. It is true that is exactly where one has to get to in war or when someone is running after you with a gun or knife but soon after the incident is over one can then return to believing in God once again. Also, it is theoretically possible to experience God fully even while taking the life of one's attacker. It is possible to never lose ones center through the whole ordeal. However, I must say this would be a very rare occurence and sounds sort of like someone like Bruce Lee who would be a martial Arts Master.
However, most of the time in our lives we don't experience these kinds of extreme things unless we choose to be a policeman or soldier.
So, in the end understanding that if you have the gene switched to belief you need to believe in something or someone to survive gives you an edge in understanding yourself and other people. It is also important to realize that the minority of people who have the gene switched to non-belief are also needed so the human race can survive anything on this planet on another or somewhere in between.

Meridian
Meridian(Eridian). Eridian is a character in my "Memories" series of writings.Eridian is something like the "Guardian of the Pearly Gates of Heaven" 1 million years into the future when Arcane arrives through time from the Planet New Deva.
Meridian(Eridian) is someone that Arcane considers a Teacher and that Elohar, Ragna, His Oneness, King Interlaken, Jonathan, Princess Aurora and others all consider to be the most evolved spirit in regard to earth left in the Heavens of Earth 1 million years into the future. Jonathan Flow is my alter ego because he is born in 1948 like me and follows my life adventures as well as his own.
I have been guided I believe by both God and Angels to write so that my life experiences as Fred are as seamlessly as possible interwoven with the experiences of Jonathan, Arcane, His Oneness and all the other characters in this series of online books. During my life I have met many powerful spiritual teachers. I feel very fortunate indeed to have met so very many such amazing people and teachers during my life since I was born in 1948. These books appear to have been designed to help people in merging with the Galaxy much like tribes of the Amazon have merged with modern day society with mixed results.
It is not that the galaxy is either good or bad in its thousands to millions of cultures that exist today. It is that the cultures that do exist are inevitable for humans to meet with en masse at some point or points in the future in some harmonious fashion. I do not know when that can happen to most everyone's satisfaction. However, I do know that it likely will occur sometime between 2012 and 2014. However, the universe is a really quirky place just like earth so it's hard to say for sure.

Foreign Image of US improves
Foreign Image of US improves
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080402/ts_nm/usa_image_poll_dc
Begin quote:"The U.S. image abroad has begun to improve after worsening for years, but the United States is still viewed more negatively than the European Union, Brazil, China, India and Russia, said a BBC World Service survey released on Tuesday." endquote.
I have spoken about the economically difficult consequences from a negative image of the United States shared by a lot of the world before. However, I don't think most people would believe that the US is seen more negatively on the world Stage than CHINA and Russia. This, I think would blow most people's minds on main street USA who just don't get how the world thinks. They might say, "Why should we care?" My answer would be, "If you don't care that the US dollar might be worth 10 cents the next time you exchange it for Euros in europe then I guess it doesn't really matter. Or If you don't care that the US would become a de facto third world nation with Nuclear weapons then I guess its okay not to care.
People, the world is getting smaller every day. More and more, US arrogance just isn't going to work for us. When the US cowboy first comes to town(in a foreign country) he might seem interesting but if he keeps starting brawls he isn't going to be liked or trusted. This is just basic reality 101. This one fact alone would upset the world: There are 2.7 million displaced Iraqis even within Iraq. This alone would piss off most of the world. This is just basically the way other countries see things.

Pragmatic Free Thinking
Pragmatic Free Thinking. There's a saying always popular in the US during hard times."When the times get tough the tough get going!" We are entering such times now. I for one have great faith in the infinitely resourceful Americans. Though we are softer than we were just after the Depression and World War II those tough enough will rise to the occasion from among us. I am sure of that.
What does it mean to be a pragmatic free thinker. It means thinking outside the box when useful. Sometimes thinking beyond the box is useful too. Just look at the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Frank Lloyd Wright, Albert Einstein, Nicola Tesla, Bill Gates, Stephen Jobs and YOU!
We are not over as a nation! We're just getting started. The world looks to us for unconventional ideas that just might work. That is what we are to the world, amazing ideas that sometimes work. They take their cue from us. They emulate us. We are the single most international nation on earth that actually works! Let's get going.
For those of us who are pragmatic free thinkers there really is no limit!
Now is the time. The whole world is suffering from not enough food and not enough energy at an affordable price. It's up to you. Would you rather sit by and watch half the people on earth starve the next 50 years? Get Going. It's up to you and your children now and theirs and theirs and theirs and so on.

Where does Electricity come From?
Where does Electricity come from. I'm not asking the question you might think.
First of all, yes, electricity comes from breaking the field of a magnet with usually a copper coil. And yes, an electric motor and a generator are actually the same thing except one generates and one receives the electricity which makes its armature spin from the electrons hitting the coil and going into the magnet and back out to the generator(Alternating current).
However, I'm asking a different question. What I'm asking is where do the electrons come from? Do they come from random atoms of earth, from the magnetic fields of earth, from the magnets whose fields are broken? Also, if Nicola Tesla could make the pastures and fields in Boulder, Colorado electrified so electricity was free for everyone why don't we do that?
Everyone is very clear that we get electricity from breaking the magnetic fields of a magnet with usually a copper coil continuously. However, where we are draining electrons and electricity from whether it be random atoms or magnetic fields has not been ever properly answered for me.
All other commodities are limited like air, water,oil, gasoline, etc. What are the consequences of draining so many electrons from earth? No one has ever given me a satisfactory answer to this question.
So I ask other related questions. Does generating so much electricity affect the spin of earth, the distance to the sun, our weather? Where does this electricity come from and what are the consequences of using so much of it?
Solar energy seems safe to convert to electricity. I don't really know and I'm not sure anyone has the answer I seek regarding mass generation of electricity using magnet and coils and that bothers me. Why aren't other people concerned about this question? No resources are unlimited. What are the long term consequences of draining so much electricity from where? The earth?

Everyone Votes with Their Money
Everyone Votes with Their Money. I'm not talking about the general elections although this is also true in regard to that as well. I'm talking about investors whether they be investing in Hedge funds or the stock market or the consumer by what they buy and who they buy from. Everyone votes with their money worldwide.
For the United States, right now the world is voting with their money against our survival as a nation with their money. I think the world, in general is somewhat equally afraid of the United States and China as the Soviet Union has been gone since about 1990. However, the world is voting against the US with their money because they are afraid of us. Whether we deserve this or not is up to debate. However, it IS happening. The worst of this is being done through Hedge Funds where international Sharks recently brought down Bear Stearns through concerted monetary pressure. Another way our economy has been brought down is to let millions of Americans lose their homes to fraudelent Subprime schemes. (We wouldn't be in a recession now without international fraud against Americans).
So the really rich internationals who don't really care what happens to America or Americans are feeding like sharks now by selling short the dollar, American stocks and through the subprime. Soon they will begin to come in like sharks and buy up American land at pennies on the dollar. We have been internationally swindled out of our country. Wake up America! The world is a lot tougher than we have seen in most of our lifetimes. Wake up! Survive!

The Heaven Realms
The Heaven Realms. Though I want to share my experiences with heaven, first I would like to share what brought me to writing this.
One of my daughter's hamsters is dying. His name is Buddy. We got he and his brother Sunny about 1 year ago for my daughter's science project at her school. She wanted to see if hamsters running in their wheel could power a light. The answer was not directly. However, they could generate power to a battery that could power a light by running in their wheel. However, online there is a type of wheel you can build that can power a light.
Last night something didn't feel right and when I checked Buddy's cage I could see he hadn't been drinking or eating lately because he was half his normal weight. This morning I thought he was dead so my wife and I put him in a ziploc plastic baggy to put in the freezer so my daughter could say goodbye when she returns from school before we bury him in our front yard away from our dogs. However, we both noticed that though Buddy was comatose his little feet moved a little so we put him back in his cage and covered his body up to his neck in his pet bedding stuff so he wouldn't get too cold as he passed away.
Last night when I picked up Sonny he didn't really respond because he was pretty gone. At least he didn't try to bite me because of being so close to the end. He was past that. I lightly pet his forehead and said goodbye to our family friend. When I went into my bedroom to sleep he came to me as a white light and said, "Thank you for feeding me and taking care of me all this time." I felt grateful for him thanking me. Buddy had always reminded me of a Tibetan Lama called Chakdud Tulku, who was a very powerful lama doctor who lived in Oregon. He had a student who called himself Ken Ellis who also influenced me. So Sonny reminded me of Ken and Buddy always reminded me of the meditating Buddha of a man, Chakdud Tulku Rinpoche.
Now I would like to share what God allows me to about the heaven realms. When I asked God to allow me to soul travel one of the places I was allowed to visit was heaven realms. I wasn't allowed to go into any of them because I was still alive as a human on earth but I was allowed to look in. I found that there were heavens for every type of person and religion on earth. I found that every planet with people on it has its own heavens. I found that not only are there religion heavens there are also individual heavens for unusual souls. Earth alone has thousands to millions of heavens. I was allowed to look into those heavens that I had an affinity with and that I had lived in before or knew people in.
It was explained to me that I tend to be very ecumenical and so am allowed to go between hundreds of heavens when I am in between lifetimes. I saw that not all souls choose to live more than one life but most do. I saw that many angels choose never to incarnate as a human or anything else. They have their reasons. Incarnating mostly has to do with proficiency in various types of skills that a being can become proficient in. Some souls like this kind of responsibility and some don't.
Watching Buddy pass out of physical form has brought back these memories and experiences of heaven realms back to me again. To Honor him during and after his passing I am sharing this with all of you.

However, they could generate power to a battery that could power a light by running in their wheel. However, online there is a type of wheel you can build that can power a light.
Last night something didn't feel right and when I checked Buddy's cage I could see he hadn't been drinking or eating lately because he was half his normal weight. This morning I thought he was dead so my wife and I put him in a ziploc plastic baggy to put in the freezer so my daughter could say goodbye when she returns from school before we bury him in our front yard away from our dogs. However, we both noticed that though Buddy was comatose his little feet moved a little so we put him back in his cage and covered his body up to his neck in his pet bedding stuff so he wouldn't get too cold as he passed away.
Last night when I picked up Sonny he didn't really respond because he was pretty gone. At least he didn't try to bite me because of being so close to the end. He was past that. I lightly pet his forehead and said goodbye to our family friend. When I went into my bedroom to sleep he came to me as a white light and said, "Thank you for feeding me and taking care of me all this time." I felt grateful for him thanking me. Buddy had always reminded me of a Tibetan Lama called Chakdud Tulku, who was a very powerful lama doctor who lived in Oregon. He had a student who called himself Ken Ellis who also influenced me. So Sonny reminded me of Ken and Buddy always reminded me of the meditating Buddha of a man, Chakdud Tulku Rinpoche.
Now I would like to share what God allows me to about the heaven realms. When I asked God to allow me to soul travel one of the places I was allowed to visit was heaven realms. I wasn't allowed to go into any of them because I was still alive as a human on earth but I was allowed to look in. I found that there were heavens for every type of person and religion on earth. I found that every planet with people on it has its own heavens. I found that not only are there religion heavens there are also individual heavens for unusual souls. Earth alone has thousands to millions of heavens. I was allowed to look into those heavens that I had an affinity with and that I had lived in before or knew people in.
It was explained to me that I tend to be very ecumenical and so am allowed to go between hundreds of heavens when I am in between lifetimes. I saw that not all souls choose to live more than one life but most do. I saw that many angels choose never to incarnate as a human or anything else. They have their reasons. Incarnating mostly has to do with proficiency in various types of skills that a being can become proficient in. Some souls like this kind of responsibility and some don't.
Watching Buddy pass out of physical form has brought back these memories and experiences of heaven realms back to me again. To Honor him during and after his passing I am sharing this with all of you.
No Cheap Oil No Cheap Food
No Cheap Oil No Cheap Food. Though droughts are also a big factor as in the 100 year 2 year long drought in Australia, oil is the biggest factor that humans can actually do anything about.
The way things now stand, however, it is theoretically feasible at this point in time that up to 1/2 of the worlds populations could be gone within 30 years from starvation, and what I would call the potential for food and water wars worldwide. Squabbles are already starting worldwide now as people start to hoard food as individuals, families, areas and nations from each other. This will tend to start squabbles on larger levels.
I'm afraid the relative ease of feeding the world is over possibly permanently that we experienced the last 100 years of human history.

The Brown Apple Moth Problem
The Brown Apple Moth Problem. Mr. Kawamura is the agriculture secretary for California. I recently read an editorial by him in my local newspaper. This is my response.
I understand that 2.4 billion dollars in produce exports to Canada and Mexico are in jeapordy because of the Light brown apple moth from Australia and New Zealand. However, what does this have to do with those of us who live in cities? Spray whatever you want on farmland. I don't care. I buy organic food anyway. But you have no right to spray anything by air on my property or the property of people whose lands are not farmland. I don't have a problem with the pheromone. I have a problem with the propellant WHICH IS MAKING PEOPLE SICK! My wife was one of the people who got Asthmatic bronchitus from the propellant when you sprayed before. Please don't use that stuff again. I don't want her to die. All the hundreds of other people who had asthmatic bronchitus symptoms from the propellant don't want to die either.
I hope the baby who got sick from the Naval Postgraduate School from it didn't die!
Please don't spray that stuff again over cities. We don't want to die from it!

Virginity
Virginity.Since the early 1980s most especially because of AIDS the idea of virginity might actually be a more practical survival strategy until marriage or a permanent living partner that "Hooking UP" in college and after.

I was reading this New York Times article and it reminded me a lot of growing up and going to church regularly until I was about 21 years old. Though I started dating at age 15, I didn't even french kiss a girl until I started going out with a 21 year old girl from my church when I was 16 and bought my first car. The year was 1964.
At that time the birth control pill had only gone public in 1960 and had spawned a dynamic social and sexual revolution that did not actually peak until AIDS was discovered in the early 1980s. However, in 1964 regular churchgoers like myself went out only with girls we intended to marry. So, for me I went out with the 21 year old only for one year then a college girl for two years and then another college girl for 2 years. By that time I was still a technical virgin even though I had spent the night with a girlfriend by the time I was 16. By age 21 still being a technical virgin was really starting to make me a little crazy because I was still restraining myself even though I had been dating several girls one at a time for 7 years. When I broke up with my 20 year old college girlfriend after 2 years because she had decided to remain a virgin forever even if I married her I was 21.
At this point I decided to only date girls that were likely to go all the way or who had already gone all the way. Whether this was a good decision or not I wasn't crazy in a deprived way anymore although I must say sexual intercourse really complicates things(really can be confusing)if you don't stay with the person you are being intimate with long term whether it be going together, living together or married.
Well, at least 25 girlfriends later I first lived with my girlfriend and then married and had a son when I was 26. So I met a lot of girls between 1969 and 1973. This was a very wonderful and at the same time very confusing experience because just as you get used to one person and their eccentricities then you have to first feel sad that whatever was going on has changed and then you move on to the next and then the next and then the next. I think everyone was pretty confused back then because of the Viet Nam War and all our friends dying in that war 50,000 and the 250,000 wounded as well as the countless walking wounded that you still see begging for food on street corners today. So I think a good portion of the sexual revolution was just the nearness of death of our brothers, childhood friends etc. that really upped the ante for the sexual craziness and use of drugs etc that took place at that time. When thousands(50,000) draftees die and most of them went against their will to a war most people didn't believe in it tore the soul out of America. Trust really hasn't been restored to our government now for the betrayal young people felt then.
Anyway I sort of got off track. What I'm saying is that with all the sexually transmitted diseases today maybe staying a virgin longer might keep you alive and healthy longer.
