clipped from www.google.com Just because we think of something, that doesn’t mean that we are being productive or constructive about or with it, or that it will be fulfilled. We have to realize that the thought itself is just a beginning, and if we care at all that it brings value or improvement, we probably need to capture it, clarify what it means to us, and organize the actions and information embedded or associated with it.

clipped from www.sourcewatch.org More Nuclear Spin, in the U.S. and UK: "If we are going to seriously address our energy needs as well as our concerns about global climate change, one source stands out -- nuclear," writes Christine Todd Whitman in the San Francisco Chronicle. It's one of two recent op/eds by the former EPA administrator (the other was in BusinessWeek) that fail to disclose that Whitman is a paid consultant for the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). Meanwhile, in Britain, environmental groups have dismissed a public consultation on nuclear power as a "public relations stitch-up" by the pro-nuclear government. This is the second consultation on the issue; Greenpeace won a legal challenge against the first.

clipped from www.google.com Subjective accuracy The subjective version of accuracy is rooted in creation.  This lens assumes that consciousness is the container in which objective reality occurs.  This is not the limited consciousness of your own ego (that would be solipsism), but the larger God-consciousness or Source-level consciousness in which all of reality occurs.  You naturally experience this level of consciousness when having a lucid dream — you know that you’re the dreamer and everything in the dream is taking place within your consciousness.  Subjective reality recognizes that there’s no such thing as strictly objective perception without creation.  To observe reality is to create it.  Consequently, the more accurate your subjective beliefs are, the more empowered you become as a creator.  Simply put, this means you get better at creating what you intend to create.

Sharpen your teeth with some Beat...
http://www.rooknet.com/beatpage/index.html

clipped from www.rooknet.com "The Beat Generation" [ Site Map ] The history of literature has been "landmarked" by countless movements of varying styles and direction. The Beat Page is dedicated to the movement that began in the early 1950's with a small and tightly connected group of young writers who demonstrated a care-free, often reckless and unquestionably fresh approach to literature as well as a demonstrative social stance toward what was sometimes referred to as "The Establishment". The term "Beat" was reportedly coined by Jack Kerouac in the late 1940's, but became more common at about the time that writers like himself, Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti were beginning to get noticed. It was quickly becoming a slang term in America after World War II, meaning "exhausted" or "beat down" and provided this generation with a definitive label for their personal and social positions and perspectives.

clipped from www.google.com Once we break free of the most parochial definitions involving carbon-based chemistry, we’re left with the general ideas that life is something complex, something that processes information, something that can evolve, something that takes advantage of local entropy gradients to make records and build structures.

Swimming on the deep end...

It's weird how my Latin class has been unearthing many emotions.

clipped from anmolmehta.com There is a state a consciousness where there is absolutely no whisper of thought or movement of any kind in the mind.  The state is a stillness and silence upon which then, the dance of existence eventually takes place.  In this state the timeless, the eternal, the infinite, Truth is encountered.  In this state burns the fire of intelligence.  It does not allow desire to form.  Desire simply cannot take birth, it is as if there is a no entry sign and desire is not allowed in.  Desire, if it attempts to take birth, is immediately snuffed out.  Highest intelligence and swift awareness stand guard.

clipped from www.google.com Senate Bill 362 "would prohibit a person from requiring, coercing, or compelling any other individual to undergo the subcutaneous implanting of an identification device," and a similar version has already passed the state Assembly. Joseph Simitian, who came up with the idea, laments the fact that the RFID industry does not appear to find his idea a good one.
