1 Giant Leap and "What About Me?" Asks: "Does Money Make You Rich?"

The All and the Everything

It is through each of us that wisdom is shared with all beings of Earth. Each new awareness that we awaken to, awakens into the collective consciousness. All that I already know has been brought forth from the collective consciousness, a continuum of life experiencing itself through a different portal of expression, me.



Living to become the best I can be serves not only myself but all of humanity.



This symbiotic and synergistic relationship is true between myself and… Continue

Share the Earth to Establish Justice and to Have peace

My studies in economics lead me to believe that it is entirely possible to have the world work for everyone through establishment of simple economic justice.



I am a student of the economic theories of Henry George, the 19th century American political economist and social philosopher. He asked the question in his best known work, Progress and Poverty: why is there so much poverty amid so much wealth and wealth producing capacity. The answer he gave convinced me that sharing the earth… Continue

Those Beautiful Eyes by Ann Cowart Lutzky



"Dumuzi stood waiting.

In the doorway of her house

Inanna appeared before him, shining.

She opened the door.

The Daughter of the Moon was shining.



His eye beheld her.

His heart rejoiced.

He brought her to him.

Like a medal of precious lapis or gold,

Placed close against his heart.

He kissed her."



- from The Twenty-One Hymns of Orom



This is an ancient tale and a… Continue

2. Did anyone hear that another $600 million was just passed, oh so quietly, by the Demo-controlled Congress to… Continue

Nature's Pharmacy of Therapeutic Gemstones - Chakra Balancing

Who wouldn't want to be drenched in therapeutic quality gemstones?



Therapeutic gemstones are gifts from the mineral kingdom, as are all gemstones. To qualify as therapeutic quality or grade, several requirements must be met. The processes by which the gems are mined, cut, drilled, and assembled are included in this criterion. The stone itself must also meet specific requirements of clarity, purity, shape and color. Certainly how the stone is used makes a difference as… Continue

Earth & Eco News

Anthropocene

The Anthropocene defines Earth's most recent geologic time period as being human-influenced, or anthropogenic, based on overwhelming global evidence that atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biospheric and other earth system processes are now altered by humans. The word combines the root "anthropo", meaning "human" with the root "-cene", the standard suffix for "epoch" in geologic time. The Anthropocene is distinguished as a new period either after or within the Holocene, the current epoch, which began approximately 10,000 years ago (about 8000 BC) with the end of the last glacial period.

Solar Power To Become 4th Largest Electric Power Capacity In The World (Passing Up Wind) | CleanTechnica

Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis Global Power Industry Outlook, 2018, which posits that solar will surpass wind in global energy capacity starting in 2020, making it the fourth largest source of energy generation behind coal, gas and hydro. Less than a year ago, solar surpassed nuclear energy to reach 5th place.

California is throttling back record levels of solar—and that’s bad news for climate goals | MIT Technology Review

Californians are enjoying a sunny spring, which means the state’s solar farms and rooftop panels are flooding the grid with electricity. The problem is, they’re producing so much that plummeting prices and mandates by the state’s grid operator are forcing renewable power plants to throttle back production. In April, California solar and wind farms shut down or dialed back nearly 95,000 megawatt-hours of electricity, a new record, according to the California Independent System Operator, which manages the vast majority of the state’s electricity. That’s enough to power more than 30 million homes for an hour.
