For those that struggle with BiPolar
Recently, i attended a seminar given by Dr John Demartini (from The Secret movie) - apart from what i experienced to be one of the best 2 hrs of motivational speaking i had ever seen, he also mentioned something that's worth noting regarding people that struggle with Bipolar disorder. He said that it was interesting to see data on this phenomena indicating Bipolar sufferers have usually come from situations where their thoughts and opinions have been suppressed in their early years - possibly an over dominating parent, carer or similar....
Maybe those that take too many drugs (especially cocaine, speed or any upper) are potentially bipolar sufferers as well??
The solution?
Forgiveness - face and make peace with the past issues - release the emotions through meditation, alpha brainwave stimuli, whatever it takes to let go of these life crippling conditions - just do it :) Hmmm.....makes me think that if this is the case, just imagine how many chinese people must be suffering this condition - it would be well over half their population. And having travelled through china myself and looking into the local people's eyes, i can start to see his point. Perhaps this is not the only reason for the Bipolar disorder condition to emerge, but certainly worth taking notes about.... till next

Another excellent resource....
click here to checkout another very good website on green energy initiatives.
It even says that we can save our economy now by investing more in this technology.....and that says a lot!

Solar subsidies
On the subject of subsidizing solar power roll-outs and which countries are endorsing the practice, I came across a webpage that spells out what the US is up to within this regard.
They are comparing Solar subsidies that with Petroleum subsidies, which was frightening to say the least. You can check out the website for yourself here
It seems more countries are being added to the mix of offering incentives to go down this path, as more and more people start to become more aware of the implications if we choose to do nothing about it. I do hope that we can see the sense in making some noise about this very important topic as the world is basically sitting on tender hooks, and nobody is 100% certain which way the winds of change will take us in the grand scheme of things. At the end of the day, we can only calculate high probability scenarios given the data that's been collected to date, coupled that with a little speculation, to bring us to what we now consider to be the truth.
The only thing to remind ourselves here regarding the truth - the truth is never absolute until it appears.

Solar system rollouts pick up steam
Well - the march is on fellow pilgrims - the Queensland government (Australia) has an $8,000 rebate for new solar systems installed. I'm not sure if this is relevant for the rest of the country, but is certainly worth bragging about.....
Over the course of next week, I shall do some research to see which countries are already activating such programs, or are at least talking about it. Logic tells me, at least by talking about these issues, eventually enough people will listen to it, which in turn, pushes the process along a bit further.
Our reliance on fossil fuels, has now been proven economically, to be more costly in the future than that of solar energy. For corporations to continue to operate on short-term gain for shareholder satisfaction, means that their decision processes are based on market demand and nothing else. In a nutshell, the CEO's want to keep their jobs - they make decisions on what the consensus (or shareholders) are telling them to do - so to be honest, they are not the real culprits here driving the killing machine of the planet - it's all of us, on some level, influencing their actions.
One interesting expose on how the world moves, is well documented by an independent film-director (David Moore) in a short epic called History's Hidden Engine" (download it for free http://www.socionomics.net/films/history) - amazingly it shows how the stock market usually preceeds with an indicator (Elliott Wave Theory) that essentially become historic predetermined events - most thought provoking :)

Solar systems
New technology in any field is usually expensive when first introduced - it only get's cheaper when more and more people start to embrace it. One thing that holds people back from using solar energy, for example, is the cost of deploying it - but over the course of time, the payoff and sustainability is much better than what the current mainstream energy methods are promoting.
Bio fuels is one energy source that seems to be getting a lot of attention these days - ethanol is produced using crops such as corn, sugarcane etc. The results so far have been impressive given the effect it has on the levels of smog reduced. In Brazil, they have been using these methods now for the past few years and have seen a significant reduction in green house gases to say the least. But it is also interesting to see what effect this has had on the amazon rain forests. Scientists have noticed a large number of acres vanishing due to the use of ethanol as fuel - land is cleared at a rate beyond the imagination (approx. 7 football fields per day) and a big contributor to this land clearing is due to ethanol production. So even though this technology looks promising on the surface, it is still costing us more in the overall sustainability of our eco-system. So I don't think this is the answer somehow.....
Solar energy, still to this day has the cleanest and most sustainable application. It's now a matter of finding cheap solutions to help bring this into the mainstream more quickly. Recently, I can across a DIY method for setting up your house. You can check it out here.
This I believe is a step in the right direction and well worth taking notice how things progress along this path. Let's hope that we can change the world around in time to be able to live a happy, sustainable life.
