Fun - Meditieren

Meditieren ist immer noch besser als einfach nur rumsitzen und nichts tun.

What is most important in life?

What is most important in life?   Loyalty to yourself and loving kindness for others.

Was ist das Wichtigste im Leben?    Treue zu sich selbst und Güte zu anderen.

Peter Ward - One Impact of Global Warming

When you heat the world you heat the pole more than you do the equatorial region. When that happens, you start losing circulation. The only reason you have wind now is you have a hot spot and a cold spot and they’re trying to equilibrate. Well, an ocean current you have the same thing. You have a cold Antarctic and then you warm them up, the ocean circulation system is dampened down; there’s much less heat difference.

So when we heated the poles to the point that there is no longer – or already in a very sluggish ocean circulation, the ocean is going oxic, they lose their oxygen. They only keep oxygenated now because of this vigorous mixing. Well, even when you have oxygen in the atmosphere and contact with the surface, once you slow down any circulation, that whole basin can lose this oxygen. The Black Sea is the same case. It’s sits under a 21% oxygen atmosphere, and yet the Black Sea, except for the top several meters, in anoxic. It’s black because it’s producing a lot of sulfur-producing bacteria and there’s very nasty gasses that are produced.

We now think the big mass extinctions were caused by global anoxia. The oceans themselves so sluggish that the hydrogen sulfide bacteria are produced in huge areas of the ocean bottom bubbles up to the surface and starts killing things; rotten egg killing. It would be extremely nasty. Hydrogen Sulfide poisoning is a horrible death. Two hundred hydrogen sulfide molecules among a million air molecules is enough to kill a human. I mean, just breathing in 200 of those little things amid all the million you’re got in oxygen and boom, you’re down, horribly down.

So, this is a really nasty poison and it was certainly present in past oceans during these short-term global warming events. That’s why it’s really spooky what we’re doing now.

Sphere of Individual Concern

Within our own Sphere of Individual Concern...
...we discover issues quickly
...we see advantages and dangers easily
...we draw conclusions naturally
...we decide what steps to take

Outside our own Sphere of Individual Concern...
...we are not used to questions of such dimensions
...we perceive issues as far away
...we assume someone else will take care of the issues at some point in time
...we feel somehow disconnected from the issues
...we ask why we should take care of the issues
...we think we are too little to do anything

Our Mission is to widen the Sphere of Individual Concern of as many human beings as possible.

Egoism, Altruism, Love

The experienced dissolution of the differnce between Egoism and Altruism is often also referred to as Love.
