In the developing world, access to incubators is limited by cost and distance, and millions of premature babies die each year. TED Fellow Jane Chen shows an invention that could keep millions of these infants warm — a design that’s safe, portable, low-cost and life-saving.
This post is dedicated to two of my dear friends…
And all those other friends that I have yet to meet…
Fine Tuning Manifestation…
Is there a “future tense” of your goals that prolongs you from accomplishing your goals?
What about a conversation about what is working?
“Use what you’ve GOT as your reason to be in the vortex….
Not what you don’t have as your motivation to WANT to be in the vortex.”
Can you hear and feel the difference?
Very fine difference… but a difference that makes all the difference in the world.
Ease up on the action and the forcing to making it happen…
and get into the ALLOWING it to happen.
That is where are the cooperative components that you think are action derived, are miraculously lined up for you.
It is, and always has been, and always will be, about your vibration.
If visualizing and feeling what you want makes you feel good, then you are already in the vortex. But in doing so, many people activate the missing pieces of what they do not have!
If this were not true, then everything you wanted, you would already be living.
Putting things you can do nothing about ahead of what I can do something about is outside the vortex, and will keep you from your desires. You can not ever control anyone else but yourself
What is your chronic response to the worry and concern?
Shift your response… shift your manifestation…
We will and are Thriving in the New World Economy.
“When you tug at a single thing in nature, you find it attached to the rest of the world.”
— John Muir
Synopsis:
Combining powerful visuals, humor, animation, irony, and serious messages, Connected explores the visible and invisible connections between the major issues of our time — the environment, population growth, technology, human rights, and the global economy – demonstrating how they are all facets of one larger picture. Following the filmmaker’s exploration of her own place in the world during a transformative set of circumstance in her life, Connected exposes the importance of personal connectedness in relation to understanding global conditions, ultimately showing how all of humanity is invested in today’s crucial issues. More than a film about social issues, it is a work that speaks directly to empathy, social engagement, and what it means to be human in the 21st century. It reveals how the interdependence of people and forces lies at the core of our existence, and imagines what the world would look like if we lived in a way that acknowledged this reality.

Loving into a cutting edge better world by tuning yourself to thriving. This wonderful delivery by Abraham speaks directly to the current “reality” our mass consciousness is aware of, and how we can thrive in the midst of it all.
This is where all cooperative components gather within your vortex to create. Are you comfortable and strong enough to withstand the pressure of those not in the vortex? Without being in the vortex, you have nothing… to give… nobody.

here may be more to the story than the media would have us think. Sound familiar?
Regardless of weather or not global warming has been created by man or not… the real benefactors of the Cap and Trade program looks like business as usual… big business.
This new video by Annie Leonard (who also did “The Story of Stuff”) is a very interesting description of what is most likely happening behind the story you may have heard.
If you’ve heard anything about how we’re going to solve our climate crisis then cap and trade is likely familiar to you. But if you don’t know exactly what it is, then this new video from Annie Leonard (who also did “The Story of Stuff”) is definitely in order.
You can also check out a contrarian perspective from David Roberts at Grist. He lends an interesting twist and information that identifies the complexities of the Cap and Trade process. So it gets even tougher for the average person to spend a short amount of time trying to understand.
The bottom line? We need a change and the change to Cap and Trade is not necessarily bad. But it needs much more control to keep the business as usual greed factor from exploiting it as another stinky cash cow.
Thoughts from Chief Joseph…
### Chief Joseph’s purpose is two-fold:
First, to empower you on your spiritual path, to find your life purpose. Not by telling you what to do — that would disempower you. But by simply offering you an expanded view of yourself and your life.
Second, to help you live your life with joy, to be so filled with the glory and divinity of who you are, you will literally fall “head-over-heels” in love with yourself.
Joy is the real secret to a successful life. You will always find joy in doing what’s right for you. And you will always know what’s right for you by the joy it brings you. That is the heart of a happy spiritual journey.
Joy is the key to manifesting all the abundance you’ve ever dreamed of having. As a spiritual being, joy is your reason for being, your reason for incarnating again and again.
When you are feeling joy on your spiritual journey, when you seek joy in all your experiences, when you feel joy no matter what is happening to the world and the people around you — it is then you are in the highest vibration possible for any human. It is then you are fully aligned with your perfect spiritual path. It is then you are fully aligned with your higher self, that all-powerful, all-wise spiritual being who lives eternally in the highest vibrations and dimensions of the Universe. Joy is the key to all you wish for.

Video of Universal Spirituality for Peace By S.N. Goenka
Date: August 29, 2000
“When there is darkness, light is needed. Today, with so much agony caused by violent conflict, war and bloodshed, the world badly needs peace and harmony. This is a great challenge for religious and spiritual leaders. Let us accept this challenge. Every religion has an outer form or shell, and an inner essence or core. The outer shell consists of rites, rituals, ceremonies, beliefs, myths and doctrines. These vary from one religion to another. But there is an inner core common to all religions: the universal teachings of morality and charity, of a disciplined and pure mind full of love, compassion, goodwill and tolerance. It is this common denominator that religious leaders ought to emphasize, and that religious adherents ought to practice. If proper importance is given to the essence of all religions and greater tolerance is shown for their superficial aspects, conflict can be minimized. All persons must be free to profess and follow their faith. In doing so, however, they must be careful not to neglect the practice of the essence of their religion, not to disturb others by their own religious practices, and not to condemn or belittle other faiths. Given the diversity of faiths, how do we surmount the differences and achieve a concrete plan for peace? The Buddha, the Enlightened One, was often approached by people of different views. To them he would say, “Let us set aside our differences. Let us give attention to what we can agree on, and let us put it into practice. Why quarrel?” That wise counsel still retains its worth today. I come from an ancient land that has given rise to many different schools of philosophy and spirituality over the millennia. Despite isolated instances of violence, my country has been a model of peaceful co-existence. Some 2300 years ago it was ruled by Ashoka the Great, whose empire extended from present-day Afghanistan to Bangladesh. Throughout his realm, this compassionate ruler caused edicts to be inscribed on stone, proclaiming that all faiths should be respected; and as a result, followers of all spiritual traditions felt secure under his sway. He asked people to live a moral life, to respect parents and elders, and to abstain from killing. The words in which he exhorted his subjects are still relevant today: One should not honor only one’s own religion and condemn other religions. Instead, one should honor other religions for various reasons. By so doing one helps one’s own religion to grow and also renders service to the religions of others. In acting otherwise one digs the grave of one’s own religion and harms other religions as well. Someone who honors his own religion and condemns other religions may do so out of devotionto his religion, thinking, ‘I will glorify my religion’; but his actions injure his own religion more gravely. Concord is good. Let all listen and be willing to listen to the doctrines professed by others. (Rock Edict12) Emperor Ashoka represents a glorious tradition of tolerant co-existence and peaceful synthesis. That tradition lives on among governments and rulers today. An example is the noble monarch of Oman, who has donated land for churches and temples of other faiths while practicing his own religion with all devotion and diligence. I am sure that such compassionate rulers and governments will continue to arise in future in many lands around the world. As it is said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” It is all too clear that the votaries of violence primarily hurt their own kith and kin. They may do so directly, through their intolerance, or indirectly, by provoking a violent response to their actions. On the other hand, it is said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” This is the law of nature. It may equally be called the decree or way of God. The Buddha said, “Animosity can be eradicated not by animosity but only by its opposite. This is an eternal Dharma [spiritual law].” What is called Dharma in India has nothing to do with Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism or any other “ism”. It is this simple truth: before you harm others, you first harm yourself by generating mental negativity; and by removing the negativity, you can find peace within and strengthen peace in the world.”
