This was the message I sent to the Zeitgeist Movement. It would be nice to connect with them:

——-

Dear Peter Joseph and Zeitgeist leaders,

It’s been so long (>10 years) since I’ve been a part of a movement that really knows how to change something in a viable way. Not that I’ve gotten jaded. I’ve instead strived to find balance in American society to support a family with simple comforts, trying to find redeeming qualities in political systems while I watch and painfully participate in a system that collectively has a viral affect on our planet. And now with an 8 year-old child, I’ve focused my attention to keeping him also in a balanced state so that he may grow up knowing how to survive in the bizarre and surreal society that has less and less to offer every year.

I’m not going to go on and on. Your time is valuable and I have a full-time+ job. I don’t know how else to reach the Zeitgeist movement to bestow the knowledge that was given to me in the late 90s. I know how to transition the world from destruction to natural prosperity without having to unseat the powers-that-be, covertly changing their course with their enthusiastic buy-in. In the late 90s, I joined an international group and we had our small forum at the UN in New York City, but for the reasons of pride and protection of the purity of the idea, it never flourished beyond those walls.

The idea, which is much more easily reached with today’s common technology, can reintroduce democracy in its idealistic form, transform money to be based on the endless and renewable bounty of the earth’s ecosystems, and effectively eliminate poverty at one fell swoop. It’s catalyst comes in the form of a social networking tool engineered to give people the voice to drive markets, products and services, and funds non-profits with every exchange of data. Both ideas give corporations what they desire: The ability to achieve more profit, but in this case, their means and ends actually improves the earth and its inhabitants.

I wrote a book back in 1997 describing the state of the American society and ideas to bring it to a common spiritual and social evolution. I participated in group discussions to bring these ideas to the public. But I was not even 30 years-old then. It’s been such a long time and I’ve matured. I haven’t given up my ideals, but instead have spent the time growing and living my life based on the theories that were given to me by mentors, Magis, divine influences, and tempered by living two years in southern Germany.

For now, I wish to send this email as it is. Not too long to sound self-important, and not too short to be another fleeting thought on the Internet. I know my destiny lies somewhere in making the change. I only wonder if it is in concert with Zeitgeist.

I plan to watch the entirety of your broadcasts and learn more about you. I only ask a small audience of time with the drivers of your movement to share what I have to offer.

We’ve just entered the lunar year of the water dragon. Now is the chance to use the unsettled energies to forge forward. Please let me know if you are interested in more detail of what I have presented. If not, I wish you well in your efforts, and I will return to my daily work.

With sincere gratitude,

Reshaping the World

Now that we’ve started down the road to more frequent occurrences of natural disasters, I’ve been thinking a lot about the role of technology in my life, as well as the importance of the people and things that are part of my daily existence. I often imagine myself living in Japan with my iPad, iPhone, Internet and hybrid car parked outside while I sip my tea that I was able to cook in less than a couple of minutes. Then the ground rumbles and shakes. It continues to do so for about five minutes and I realize that something dire has happened. As soon as I think that, I look out my window and see a thirty foot wall of water raging through the town that I called home. What once was called a ‘City of Trees’ is washed away in a few moments. Somehow I am spared of that wave and the shaking of the ground. I am one of the survivors, but then the shock of what happened begins to sink in. Electricity goes out. The water no longer runs from the tap. My cell phone no longer gets any service, and in the eerie silence of the after math of the natural disaster, I realize that I have just traveled back in time to a place where the simple luxuries of life no longer exist. On top of all that, it’s freezing outside and I have no heat.

This is the reality of hundred of thousands of people who lived in one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world.

Nature fights back.

What boggles the mind is the massive amounts of goods that are produced to make our lives comfortable on this planet. A artistic display by Chris Jordan illustrates this. Oil, plastic, electricity, paper, clothing, etc. This list goes on and on. We take from our habitat to fuel an economy of buying stuff while we completely trash our planet. We are not the masters of nature as proven by the recent natural disasters. We are, however, resilient. Humans might be beaten down, but hardly ever defeated. This is both inspirational and worrisome. How many hints do we need to show that our technology giveth and taketh away? As radiation poisons over twenty million people, when do we say enough is enough? If we are so great, why can’t we figure out a way to use our technology to build a home that gives us comforts and preserves the natural ecosystem?

As I see how politicians are pushing nuclear energy in the wake of such mass suffering, I start to thing that we need a reboot. I’m starting to be on the side of Mother Earth in this war against her. It’s an atrocity that we can’t seem to see the light. What more is needed than a triple disaster to our brothers and sisters in Asia to wake us up to say it’s time to make a new path?

Hope from abroad.

There’s one country that is willing to make a stand. Germany announced that it’s had enough and at it’s time to start getting serious about renewable energy resources. They plan to lead the way in these technologies and show everyone that it can be done. Japan has announced that they are going to build their country from scratch. I have a deep feeling that they are going to join with Germany in finding new solutions to satisfy our hunger for energy instead of fighting for rights to oil resources or manufacturing colossal amounts of nuclear waste that is sure to steer us and our children to destruction.

I hope and pray that the people of Japan come out of this tragedy in strong form. I also hope that the rest of us never have to experience a nuclear and natural Armageddon like they are experiencing. It’s time that we stop creating the things that lead to our own demise, and for those who still say that nuclear energy is the way, all I have to say is that they can store the spent fuel in their own back yard… well shielded, of course.

One step closer to Star Trek

2011 has been a busy year with world events, so much so that it is hard to keep in touch with all the information. And though I was skeptical on all the new tablets coming to the market, I finally decided to put my eggs into the Apple basket. So on the same day that Japan was reeling from the movement of the earth, I stood in line to pick up the latest gadget from the local Mac store.


I knew that having this would be a welcome edition, but I had no idea how much of a productivity tool it would be, almost completely replacing my need to carry around a laptop at all. Here are some of the items worth mentioning in this regard:

  • Keyboard – I can type almost as fast as the regular keyboard on my laptop. It’s responsive and the auto correct is very helpful with my slight errors.
  • Display – okay, Apple didn’t change the resolution of the previous model, and why would they? It’s simply beautiful.
  • Cover – ingenious is the word that comes to mind with the Apple-designed fold over cover. It acts as a stand to watch movies, a grip to read content, and turns off the iPad when putting the cover down on the screen (and vice versa when opening). It feel so much like a natural extension of the unit that I find it hard to imagine enjoying the iPad so much without it.
  • Apps – I’m happy to say that I’ve been so pleased with the quality and quantity of the apps available for the iPad. Most developers have taken advantage of the larger screen than the smaller iOS devices (iPod Touch & iPhone) to make the flow of information feel just right. I do get some crashes (like with the WordPress app) but feel I need to be patient and wait for the perfecting final touches.
  • Weight – I’ve never held a first generation iPad so I can’t make a comparison, but this unit is light and feels completely robust

With it’s ten hour battery life, video, camera and all it’s other features, I’m glad I opted for this one instead of the more pricey Motorola Xoom. Apple may be controlling in terms of it’s hardware and software lineup, but one has to admit that they are making devices that are so futuristic that I feel that I’ve stepped a century forward. Now when I watch my favorite rerun of Star Trek and see how they use their pads to take care of engineering anomalies or to send a message back home, I can simulate these actions with my own unit.

Now, if only I could contact the mothership to prepare for beaming out… but maybe that’s coming in the next iOS update from Apple.

End times or just an eerie earthly coincidence?

It wasn’t too many years ago that I was intimately involved in an end times charismatic church. They believed that we were about to enter the final years before our lord, Jesus Christ, was to return as the 2nd coming. They had lots of evidence to this conclusion, especially since we read and re-read the Book of Revelation. We drew many correlations to tie current events to the scriptures. It was a pretty good argument for the end of times. The year was 1999.

Needless to say we survived the uncertainty of those times. The church just offered that it was a delay in the second coming. After a personal trip to Patmos (the place where Revelation was written) I realized that the church was off in its delivery. That, plus some other personal red flags, led me to leave the church. Upon doing so, I was told by the congregation that I was walking directly into the devil’s hands. Perhaps that’s true, but being out of the protective circle didn’t seem to negatively affect my life too much. Things are much more peaceful for me these days as I removed myself from the dramatic scene of the the church. I haven’t strayed from God like they predicted. Actually I’ve never felt closer to God’s love.

That was all twelve years ago. And just as things have been going great with my personal entry to 2011, the same can’t be said for the wildlife of the world. As I write this post on January 6, 2011, there have been numerous animal die offs that have happened around the world in a very short period of time. They all started on New Years Eve in Arkansas when thousands of red-winged blackbirds (a very lovely species) apparently fell out of the sky in the middle of the night. The press and governmental officials quickly released absurd simple solutions to the phenomenon. Fireworks or something similar were the cause, they said, as if we were to all believe that a mass heart attack killed the multitudes. Then a couple of days later, two more die offs happened again in Arkansas and Louisiana. More birds and about 100,000 fish of a single species we found dead.

Okay, that’s weird.

Back in April 2010 a report of huge percentages of bees dying off was enough to cause alarm (http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1857287/mass_honey_bee_die_off_has_many_reasons/). The exit of a populous species responsible for healthy crops is enough to raise an alarm. But it quietly passed through the news. But now we’re seeing larger species falling out. Since the beginning of 2011 there has been a number of alarming reports:

  • 40,000 velvet crabs found dead on the east side of England
  • 2 million fish found dead in Maryland
  • 100 tons (tonnes) of fish found dead in Brazil
  • Hundreds of fish found dead in New Zealand
  • Hundreds of dead birds found in Kentucky
  • Flocks of dead jackdaw birds found in Sweden

You can follow the posts in this collection here: http://biology.uoregon.edu/wiki/dieoffs/

The numerous occurrences are either the result of the heightened awareness and the news reports of such events taking a higher place in the world of news, or something is seriously going on here. In either case it raises the bar in the fact that the imbalance of our global ecosystem is having a major effect on the planet and its fauna inhabitants. Combine this with exploding population (National Geographic story – http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/01/seven-billion/kunzig-text) and the rampant deforestation and habitat destruction, and we’re moving into a place that’s going to make 911 look like a minor event.

It’s past time to change the global direction from the effects of our population. Of course there are many good ideas on reversing the course of this path (including avacafe.com and grb.net), but the time has come to witness the ills of the world while we figure these things out. My next post may very well be how to prepare oneself for the inevitable roller coaster we’re about to ride.

Backscatter scans – what the news doesn’t say

Air travel is the latest arena where controls to our safety versus personal privacy are being tested. Ever since 911 have we known that the balance between safety and privacy would constantly come up as fear drives us closer and closer to a fully-monitored society. Though I sit on the fence and feel that karma and divine intervention are better protectors of my family than the government, I understand that the general public is moving towards security and sacrificing their personal freedoms. In the case of airport backscatter X-ray machines, there are a couple of things that raise an eyebrow as to whether choices are being made for our safety, or if it is profiteering under the guise of safety.

Take for instance the University of California San Francisco’s scientists concern over the backscatter risks. (snip from Wikipedia) They argued that the effective dose is higher than claimed by the TSA and the body scanner manufacturers because the dose was calculated as if distributed throughout the whole body whereas the most of the radiation is absorbed in the skin and tissues immediately underneath. (Bulleted items are below from this article)

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_X-ray

Reference: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20101128&articleId=22153

————–

Our colleagues at UCSF, dermatologists and cancer experts, raise specific important concerns:

A) The large population of older travelers, >65 years of age, is particularly at risk from the mutagenic effects of the X-rays based on the known biology of melanocyte aging.

B) A fraction of the female population is especially sensitive to muta genesis provoking radiation leading to breast cancer. Notably, because these women, who have defects in DNA repair mechanisms, are particularly prone to cancer, X-ray mammograms are not performed on them. The dose to breast tissue beneath the skin represents a similar risk.

C) Blood (white blood cells) perfusing the skin is also at risk.

D) The population of immuno compromised individuals–HIV and cancer patients (see above) is likely to be at risk for cancer induction by the high skin dose.

E) The risk of radiation emission to children and adolescents does not appear to have been fully evaluated.

F) The policy towards pregnant women needs to be defined once the theoretical risks to the fetus are determined.

G) Because of the proximity of the testicles to skin, this tissue is at risk for sperm mutagenesis.

H) Have the effects of the radiation on the cornea and thymus been determined?

————–

Aside from the fact that there is huge profit in making these machines pervasive, there needs to be a full study of the risks involved instead of FDA fast-paced push through approval.

Lastly, while we are all forced to comply (or not fly) with these new security measures, consider the recent American Airlines baggage scandal out of Miami, where curb-side baggage handlers were accepting money to get bags that were in excess of allowed amounts or over the weigh limit onto flights. It would be a tragedy for us to lose all our liberties and die in an in-flight bombing because of greed of a few individuals.

Reference: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_spoint/20101118/ts_yblog_spoint/skycap-scam-discovered-at-miami-international-airport

It might be better to not fly. It’s environmentally destructive and keeps us on the fossil fuel dependency. But even if we continue to agree to deeper and deeper invasions into our privacy, I predict that our economy may be hurt even more with the course we’re taking. And somewhere far off in the east I can easily imagine Osama Bin Laden laughing from wherever he may be hiding.

Oil and water – a recipe for disaster, or evolution?

Getting upset about things of the world don’t too often get deep under my skin, but the latest disaster that threatens to take away even more of our pristine areas just feels like a kick in the gut. I actually had to avoid reading as much as I usually do on the event, since visions of helpless animals covered in oil and honest-working families suffering potential economic tragedies just flooded my mind with negative thoughts. Instead of wallowing in the misery, I thought how this event could cause all of us to pause and think about where we are in our evolution.

We are now at the stage of our humanity where we can create really amazing technologies while reducing our imprint on this planet with outdated technologies that cannot be sustainable with the amount of people that live in the world. The mass bulk of people of the world would  want to have the American / Western civilization lifestyle. To avoid a the creation of a black hole here on earth, we can make a few changes.

I’m talking:

  • Cars with piston engines that can be powered with compressed air
  • Solar-powered technology
  • Wind power
  • Tide power (no, not the detergent)
  • Educating about pollution and litter control
  • Green chemistry for pharmaceutical production
  • … just for starters …

Yes, battery hybrid cars are a step in the right direction, but how long until we see a disaster from the battery production and disposal when all cars on the road are running on Duracells? If we are to think that we can envision wonderful vacations with pure sandy beaches, warm ocean waters to swim in, landscapes of modern cities without pollution, while at the same time having more fossil fuel cars, more plastic, and more Fritos chip bags, then we are trying to realize a pipe dream.

It all starts with a change of the mind… with imagination. John Lennon got the tune right.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okd3hLlvvLw

Imagine, imagine, imagine. Each physical item began by manifesting an image, a thought.

Okay, I’ll start. Imagine a place where people are given a base salary to keep the planet free of litter and making purchasing decisions that improved the habitat. Imagine that companies started building products and trying to reach a zero habitat impact throughout the whole production of products and services. Imagine that people stop idolizing raunchy (and sometimes funny) TV shows that are setting examples for how our children are behaving (and even some grown-ups). Imagine that poverty and wars only exist in history books.

If you’re telling me that you don’t believe that any of this can happen, I would say that you need to start imagining. We are Homo Sapiens. We won the race and are now the most dominant species. Game over. Now, let’s try a new game. The rules are pretty simple. We see the destruction of the habitat as the great enemy without a face, and we start combating this enemy with green arms. Those are the same kinds of arms that hug people and pick up messes. The market is obliged to follow and furnish us with the tools and products to fulfill our desires, as soon as we make our voice clear. Center your mind on good thoughts, then let your voice speak them.

Oh, I just saw you on a white sandy beach at a reservoir with a refreshing drink of your choice in a cup that you can eat. You look great! Enjoy your day.

AVATAR in 3D – Nature vs. Guns

After so many recommendations to see this movie, I decided to spend a warm and sunny winter afternoon inside a theater with my wife. We saw Avatar in 3D, complete with nerd glasses. I think my wife looked better in them than I.

Avatar is a wonderfully imaginative tale that made me wonder if the blue humanoids on the screen are real, or created in a computer lab. Add the three-dimensional effect and the blur becomes even more distinct. The topography of the world of Pandora, complete with floating mountains and luminescent creatures piqued my senses and drew emotions out of me that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. The Featurette gives a sensational glimpse of this fantastic world (link to featurette at bottom of this blog post):

The repeated references to the connection of living beings to their home world gave me hope that those in the theater would be immersed in natural spirit and somehow be brought to a new sense of awareness through multimedia osmosis. At times I allowed my senses to connect to the world of Pandora, as I have many times connected with the energy of our wonderful creation, Mother Earth, and her creator. It’s a lovely feeling when I can draw on the cycle of life between predator and prey, birth and death, all the while enjoying the fullness of life. If I could have my wish, I would like to see a version of this movie that only focused on the connection-building scenes that help one appreciate her/his animal body and to relink thought to remember that our bodily vessels are made up of earthbound substances. It seems like in this age we are bombarded with images that seem to separate us from the natural world. In this train of thought lives the irresponsible consumerism that destroys our world at such a rapid pace. It is an important message for us to give reverence to our habitat. Though we may be able to create a new and wonderful world free of mosquitos on the big screen, creating one in real life is simply not possible.

The continuation of the movie brought scenes that were unfortunately cluttered with an all-too-predictable plot, which is repeated in so many mainstream Hollywood movies. That is, the 3D experience stopped at the visual element of the film. Instead of choosing a complex theme of blurring the line between what is good and bad, the people involved in making the movie decided to focus on a story between nature vs. the corporate world and its evil military muscle. It is again the linear thought of the creators of this film that forget that they benefit from the military might that they portray as evil. They enjoy the freedom of speech because they live under the umbrella of the most powerful nation and its military. They also enjoy the unlimited profits from capitalism that they represent in the film as the evil mining company who brings precious ore from the land of Pandora back home to its needy consumer base. I ask the producers to glance into a mirror and see that they are a part of what they depict as bad and wrong. They need to take some of the responsibility as well and stop depicting the military leaders as the happy arms of Satan. In contrast, a movie called Princess Mononoke put a human and caring face to the mining effort that was also destroying nature in its quest to expand. Perhaps the producer thought the mainstream American audience is too simple-minded to grasp a more involved plot?

By Hayao Miyazaki

Princess Mononoke by Hayao Miyazaki

For me, the most atrocious offense were the parents who brought small children to watch this film. How do we enlighten parents who decide to take kids to this show? As I was constantly negotiating with my emotions to keep everything in check under such powerful scenes and sounds, I could only wonder how still-developing minds of young children were being assaulted by trying to do the same, only to end up failing and crying. Certainly the corporate structure that the producers were attacking with the plot of this film are essentially guilty of the same gluttonous greed by not penalizing theaters for allowing children under 13 to view this movie. (The movie is rated PG-13, which I agree with).

Despite the overkill of missiles, battles and destruction, Avatar 3D brought awareness to the masses to realize that destroying the habitat, either alien or domestic, is a really bad thing. I only hope that the younger generation that is getting a full dose of this message from so many sources aren’t overly desensitized to forget that they should actually do something about it.

The Meaning of Black Friday

No Comments
27 Nov, 2009

economy

There are many perspectives and opinions of Black Friday. Most don’t paint a pretty picture of the event, but after being a loyal Blackfridayan, I’ve come to see the silver lining in the event, discounted half off until midnight tonight.

Black Friday is an American Olympic event. It occurs the day after the national celebration of thankfulness, many times ending up in gastronomic gluttony. It kicks the mind in the butt reminding it that the national celebrations of giving are just around the corner. I can’t think of a better day to jump-start the economy of 2009. Let’s get the party started, right?

The most significant hour was at 4:00 am, when my alarm went off and the first thing I thought was how Sears had already opened. The two items I hoped for were phenomenal deals of 70% off or more at Sears, and I wondered if I should even bother crawling out of bed, knowing I was dealing with the reality of limited quantities. But my son, now six, made me promise that I would wake him up. He knew it was a big day for papa, and he wouldn’t dare miss it. He knew there was loot to get. He arose when I entered his room. I’ve never seen him so focused to go somewhere as much as he was on this pre-dawn day. We went from awake to out-the-door in twenty some-odd minutes. A family record.

Hats off to the staff at Sears. All were really pleasant and helpful, almost omnipresent in their distinct blue Sears shirts. Two Kenmore products and a mini-trampoline were on the list. Score, score, and slam dunk, with a bonus “last one on the shelf” digital picture frame for a friend to boot. Many registers open and ample crowd well distributed. When loaded up and ready, we were out in about five minutes.

At that point I could have gone home and felt satisfied, but my son’s eyes were on the lookout for the toys he saw in the Thanksgiving Day ad flyers. Off we went – Sears, Kohl’s, Walmart (ugh), Toys-R-US (ugh ugh), chai 2% stop, met up with a friend at Office Max, then Target for the winning six-year-old coveted items. The payment for such a successful plunder: Only one could be opened, others had to be wrapped and left forever until Christmas. Everyone’s happy… great! Off again – Jerry’s, breakfast at Shari’s, Best Buy, back to Office Max and home. Time elapsed: 6 ours 52 minutes.

A good time was had by all. I witnessed no tackles for last items, no bread-and-cheese-long lines to registers, and no acts of theft, except from a store with no markdowns on what I had my eye on… shame, shame. I did however see the exchange of smiling faces, money and merchandise. I saw stores full of eager people that would make any CEO blush. I heard people saying “excuse me” and “oh, my fault” in kind and sincere tones.  I paused and looked around at all the activity. I reminisced about the good old days when money and jobs were more plentiful; when it felt okay to have a massive credit card debt and not worry about 29% penalty rate ’cause your ass is late in paying your minimum balance. I breathed the moment in and sighed.

Today I took on some extra debt for the sake of America. As I did I looked for the country of origin on everything I bought to see who I was financing, hoping that we found a cut somewhere in the deal between there and here. But all in all I support the day after Thanksgiving, which could also be knows as Thanksgetting.

Oh, pardon me, I think it’s time to checkout.

The missing link from reformed health care

economy, evolution, political

There’s been a lot of talk about what the right health care for this country should look like. But in all the things that I’ve read and heard, I’m not yet convinced that any of the options, present or proposed, would really make any difference for our population.

The need to encourage awareness of people’s own choices, and to understand the need for reform at the governmental level is grossly omitted from the picture. The decision making by the FDA to approve certain items that can be taken into the body needs a major overhaul. There is no health plan that won’t eventually bankrupt the wallets of hard-working people as long as the cheaper (more economical) grocery store choices can be major factors of obesity. And that only scratches the surface of other ills resulting from many rulings of the FDA, like: unknown genetically-modified food effects, aggressive marketing to children for food full of food coloring, toxic preservatives in vaccinations, etc. Over the long term these choices can get people into a culture of medications and the subsequent taking of other medications to counter side effects. This is living proof that we are, at our essence, an unhealthy nation.

Government’s role in the healthy guidance of proper diet is nowhere in the legislation of health care reform. Given the current state of national debt, we need to re-adopt the adage of “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This way we could spend less “ounces” of federal dollars trying to solve such a behemoth issue in this country.

Before we can start on the path to a new national balanced diet, we must first work on the individual balanced lifestyle. We need to move away from the daily extremes that carry us away and find more sustainable choices. Some can go the path of making better external choices to affect the inner workings of the mind, and others can bring consciousness to the mind to then start making better choices. Either way, the current road of unhealthy choices needs an off ramp to start seeing a country’s landscape full of people who understand that being American means we’re intelligent, flexible and can be role models for each other and the world at large.

To your health! Keitan
