I have been pondering recently the difference between spirituality as a life style and spirituality as a quest. Consider the following Blavatsky quote (the modernized English is mine) from The Voice of the Silence, The Seven Portals:
From the most innocuous of relationships, such as those we might have with a neighbor or co-worker, to the most intimate relationships with a spouse, partner or family member, all relationships have a deeper meaning and purpose, and are infinitely vaster and more complex that we can currently imagine.
Global Warming is here people. And everyone is affected; no one is safe. But the good thing, this year, Blog Action Day has taken it upon themselves to organise a day to get all bloggers to simultaneously write about this topic and to bring awareness on the hot issue of Global Warming.
Today is that day, 15th October 2009. Today is Blog Action Day. And yours truly is doing hit bit.
There’s still time if you want to do it. Just go to Blog Action Day 2009 website , sign up and write on Global Warming.
As for me, this is my contribution.
Few points about Global Warming you probably didn’t know
- Weather has gone up – True. This is self explanatory.
- Earth’s temperature has gone up 10 degrees – False. While different countries will see a change in their own local temperature E.g. Some 2, 3 even 5 degrees, the Earth has gone up……… 0.5 degrees.
- Human Race can die because Global Warming – True. While we may not die today, but if the weather goes up to 3 degrees/above, Human race will cease to exist.
- Ice caps are melting – True. And it’s going faster than you think.
- Petroleum is to be blamed for all of this – Yes and No. Petroleum is a natural substance. Left untouched, it bothers only itself. But it’s the process of digging for oil, refining it, using it in factories and cars, spilling into the ocean, ignited fires from it that’s causing the problem. Essentially, its the Human addiction to Petroleum that’s causing it.
- Changing lightbulbs is enough – No. If those light bulbs could illuminate the world into being more environmentally aware, then fine. Else don’t dream of it.
and finally…..
- The End results of Global Warming is…an Ice Age. – Yes
I will let you folks Google this one up.
Someone or someone’s are going to throw a fit, probably get one too, (perhaps both) over this news item. No need to say whom since the article would already indicate it; but still, one wonders what could come of it.
“Fit bombs” away.
Professor Ellen van Wolde, a respected Old Testament scholar and author, claims the first sentence of Genesis “in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth” is not a true translation of the Hebrew.
She claims she has carried out fresh textual analysis that suggests the writers of the great book never intended to suggest that God created the world — and in fact the Earth was already there when he created humans and animals.

Always stare at a spectacle
Sometimes you lie about your feelings to get the upper hand. It's almost always a self-defeating move, though, because it is so transparent
Love is an ongoing choice you make every day of your life. You wake up every morning and you say to yourself, "I choose to love this person today and every day of my life"
