  1. Climate Change

    New interview with Dr. Peter Wadhams who has studied ice thickness in the Arctic - with over 50 trips there. He points out that the computer models are not keeping up with the reality of abrupt global warming and that all of industrial civilization is the problem. He says the arctic will be ice free in a year or two and then mass famine will kick in.

    No because Mother Nature is more powerful - she's taking revenge better than any human laws could. When you say "invest" - you mean the reason why the US military killed 200,000 people in the Philippines in the 1890s? We didn't do it to "save" democracy nor did we do it to stop communism. The historical record is quite clear - the US military did that genocidal attack as an "investment" and the concern was that if the US military didn't do it, then Germany would do it. So it was just a race to the "bottom" as an "investment." You might even say that it's Doggie-Style instead of face-to-face female oxytocin love. Modern humans are very much like male chimpanzees on their rape-warmongering routine, in contrast to Bonobos. Anyway to get back to "investments" - oh nuclear energy.... So as long as you don't care that the uranium miners are dying from cancer.... Uranium Miners (1) - NIOSH Study Summary - CDC https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/pgms/worknotify/uranium.html https://oem.bmj.com/content/71/Suppl_1/A112.3 The federal government is cleaning up a long legacy of uranium mining within the Navajo Nation — some 27,000 square miles spread across Utah, New Mexico and Arizona that is home to more than 250,000 people. Many Navajo people have died of kidney failure and cancer, conditions linked to uranium contamination.Apr 10, 2016 ok now let's consider the claim of nuclear not being a big carbon or global warming source: so nuke power is basically part of military socialism. https://www.globalresearch.ca/nuclear-power-is-not-the-answer-by-helen-caldicott/2908 The progressive agenda also promoted eugenics at the same time that sanitation became progressive. No - Progressive politics is still based on Western civilization - sorry. I promote the original human culture - the San Bushmen.

    Yes when you say poor brown people are burning and causing desertification of life - this is a naive view that lacks a true understanding of Western colonialism. For example desertification in the Sahel is so that France can get their peanuts imported. 70% of the chocolate in the US is from literal child slavery so that Cargill, the world's largest private corporation, can make billions in revenue every year. The Amazon is being turned into soybean plantations because Cargill illegally installed soybean elevators right in the Amazon rainforest - this was PROMOTED by the "snowflake libtards" in their corporate-state newspapers. Cargill receives hundreds of millions in corporate welfare to "store" the US imperialism food that is then "dumped" onto the planet. This is why the poor brown people in Mexico had their local corn prices decimated and Somalia farmers that controlled Mogadishu got their markets "dumped" by Cargill at 1/6th the local price. That is how Western imperialism works - it's kind of tricky - so you might not notice it just looking at poor brown people. For example when the Spanish colonized Latin America - the first thing they did was kick off the poor brown people off their land. Because there is no greater threat to WEstern colonialism than having poor brown people NOT needing "jobs"!! People living self-reliance on their land - relying on humanure composting to grow food for example - these people are the greatest threat because they refuse to be forced into slave-wage jobs. haha. I have recommended a couple books about this already. There are more of course. Victims of Progress - John H.

So for example the traditional crop of Bangladesh was JUTE but the British imposing Western colonialism insisted that Bangladesh instead grow rice - this has profound ecological consequences. Similarly the Chinese imposing their Marxist Western colonialism on Tibet insisted Tibet grow wheat instead of barley. British colonialism installed "canals" for water in India - thereby spreading malaria as an epidemic and then insisted that India's crops be exported as the "free market" - while Britain then squashed India's textile industry along with Egypt's textile industry - all in the name of the "free market."

    yes relying on the corporate-state media to find out about nuclear "accidents" is kind of silly isn't it? I would recommend considering citizen watch groups that monitor the nuclear accidents. I was part of one such group when I climbed the fence of the Navy's "Project ELF" site - as John LaFarge, cofounder of Nukewatch, held the ladder. I sang a bad rendition of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" just to seal the occasion into tacky eco-activist history. Project ELF was a "first strike" nuclear weapons communication system sending ELF waves to deep ocean nuclear submarines. So they can not send any signal back - they simply get the signal and rise up to start nuclear war. Of course if there had already been a first strike then such a system would have been destroyed. http://nukewatchinfo.org/ Project ELF did just shut down but the US military recently admitted to "losing" $20 trillion over the past ten years - out of other government programs. In other words we have a vast secret "defense" system that relies on some 800 plus military "garrisons" in OTHER countries - and "special forces" in close to 200 countries (now as we speak doing secret "missions" like assassinations). Reliable "predictive power" is kind of a joke right like "military intelligence."? Marx called it rather "primitive accumulation" - like a gang of male chimpanzees - you go out on "border patrol" to raid enemy territory and then you rape and pillage. So that's about the extent of the predictive power. The original human culture was NOT like this but psycho-physiologically more like the Bonobos (our other closest primate cousins). So another good example is Alliant Techsystems - they were headquartered in Minneapolis. I got arrested there twice - Alliant Techsystems was the main producer of "depleted uranium" weapons in the world - right in the heart of Libtard Snowflake land of the Twin Cities Minnesota!! I guess the Libtard Snowflakes just don't notice little things like two-headed depleted uranium babies! I would post images but I got censored here before for posting such images - the truth is not a popularity contest apparently. haha. The point being - not that Alliant Tech moved their headquarters OUT of the Twin Cities after we kept protesting - but rather that Depleted Uranium weapons do not follow the laws of national borders. http://nukewatchinfo.org/fukushima-disaster-response-and-recovery-a-vexing-radiation-colossus/ wrote Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for PBS News Hour in March 2016. and... so this is not counting the "routine" radiation emissions creating cancer "alleys" nearby nuclear power plants. Nor the uranium miners having cancer epidemics. And then there's abrupt global warming. with an exponential increase in warming - the prospect of civilization collapse with 400 plus nuclear power plants melting down - this is not some fairy tale.

    How about your life? Is this "telling you" to do something? Sorry if you read that question as "telling you to do something." I did "recommend" you read two books though. I don't think "recommending" is an imperative statement though. Did I "tell you" to do that? Please show me where I "told you" to do anything? I'm simply reporting the evidence. Our current situation is way "too little too late" and I don't expect anything to change. Certainly I did protest a lot and I got arrested nine times as civil disobedience. So I was a bit of a "wrench in the machine." But I didn't directly tell anyone to do anything. I certainly encouraged people but the truth is not a popularity contest. I'm perfectly aware of reverse psychology - political views are hard-wired. As I have pointed out we are all brainwashed by WEstern civilization at a young age - it is hard-wired in all of us. So I don't expect to change anyone by posting words online. haha. I've been posting online on forums since 2001 and for me it's only been a self-learning process just for fun - just as conceptual analysis. Actually my B.A. degree was in International Relations. So for destructive countries - I don't think it is easy to find any current countries that are not destructive. Looming 'Climate Apartheid' Could Split the World into the Rich and the Dead, UN Warns https://www.livescience.com/65797-climate-apartheid-un-report.html But I don't think we can separate out "countries" for analysis. For example Costa Rica where I studied conservation biology and sustainable development for a semester - in 1992 - Costa Rica is held up as a very Green country but it is dependent on international EcoTourism air flights.

    yes in the long term - over tens of millions of years - I'm sure Earth will restore ecology as it has in the past through previous mass extinction crises. We are in the 6th one that is the fastest one in Earth's history. So in the near term extinction rate - the positive feedbacks of Mother Nature are now overwhelming: http://macskamoksha.com/2019/06/climate-change-always-sooner-than-predicted And we can add to this list - the East Siberian Arctic Sea methane bomb - that's the world's largest ocean shelf with stored up, under pressure methane from 3 million years ago - and the top science journals like Nature have published this science. When the arctic goes ice free - that methane will explode out, doubling the global warming.

    my dad was a lawyer for the nuclear power utility that won a precedent lawsuit when Minnesota wanted to regulate the routine radiation emissions at a stricter than federal standard. That's why I flew to Puerto Rico when I was 2 1/2 months old. I didn't discover this till 2000 when I googled my dad's name. I had gotten arrested at the same nuclear power utility in 1994 for storing its nuclear waste on the native indigenous reservation on the Mississippi river. In 1996 then while working for Greenpeace the native indigenous activist Inila Wakan showed me a creek at Pine Ridge Reservation - polluted from uranium mining. There are lots of unseen "costs" to nuclear power but since the taxpayer covers the insurance costs, in reality nuclear power is part of the US military (as the recent Iran conflict exposes). A recent comment on the abrupt global warming youtube channel: so now we have this: https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-07-01/nuclear-power-once-seen-as-impervious-to-climate-change-threatened-by-heat-waves Nuclear Power, Once Seen as Impervious to Climate Change, Threatened by Heat Waves and this comment: and there is a good documentary on this: So certainly people will promote nuclear power as long as the real costs are "externalized."

    yes what you are saying is ignoring the Global Dimming Effect. So the more electricity use then obviously the more greenhouse gases emitted. There is a diminishing rate of return on energy investment - this is why the last oil is too expensive to take out - the Tarsands and the Fracking and the crude dirty oil, etc. So lets say we switch to renewables like the New Green Deal wants? Problem is that the coal power plants have been cooling the planet by at least 1 degree Celsius - so the more renewables and less coal means less sulfur aerosols. There is a good BBC doc on the Global Dimming Effect but it's hardly been watched - 2005.

    Certainly it would be awesome to do this. What I did was give "gift certificates" for http://trees.org as they plant trees along the equator as forest gardens. The trees grow much faster along the equator. Unfortunately the science and media underestimate the situation as global warming emissions are currently at something like 550 ppm and we already have lots of positive feedbacks due to the arctic melting so fast - and permafrost melting - methane releases, etc. The ocean can store much more carbon so it will start releasing it back and also oil use keeps growing. China is literally GIVING out chainsaws to poor Africans to cut down their old growth equatorial forests - in Cameroon for example.

    yes the problem goes back to Plato as an olive oil merchant - the foundation of Western civilization is based on lies - what I call the "Liar of the Lyre" - it's literally the wrong music theory. So you want to say scientists are sold out? Yes I call it the "salaried sellout" phenomenon. I had that debate with my hippy commune classmates taking ornithology at UW-Madison in the early 90s - I said - there's been enough scientific studies, what we need now is policy change. But now it's too little too late. So to change the trajectory of the past several thousands of years of history? Nope - it's not gonna happen.

    Cargill is the world's largest private corporation yet most have never heard of Cargill. Cargill works with the US as "food for peace" imperialism - aka "food dumping." So Cargill recently admitted they can't stop all the deforestation they caused when Cargill put illegal soy bean storage elevators in the Amazon rainforest. At the time the "liberal" corporate-state mass mind control media was PROMOTING Cargill's raping of the Amazon rainforest. I even wrote an article against this - in 2006. Now the "liberal" news is pretending like they were not part of the problem when they could have done something about it. That's the typical corporate-state "time frame." So that Kim Iverson lady says the Democrat Elite is now stating Iran attacked the US - that's the Rockefeller Big Oil agenda - while the "new green deal" is dismissed as unnecessary idealism by naive young people (AOC). So as long as indoctrination is effective then ignorance will be bliss. People either blame "the left" (thinking that the liberal elite are the "left" which is a total joke) or people blame the "right" (meaning the brainwashed lapdogs trained to "sick" the poor outsiders of the Empire). Yes as Chomsky points out - controlling people's minds is much easier than controlling people physically. https://www.tcdailyplanet.net/stop-cargills-destruction-amazon/ So here is my article - when that was published in a local "free" (no one reads) newspaper website - at the same time the local "liberal" corporate-state mass mind control was saying the OPPOSITE. Cargill puts up $30 million to fight deforestation in Brazil - StarTribune ... www.startribune.com/cargill-puts-up-30-million-to-end...in-brazil/511237702/ Jun 13, 2019 - Cargill Inc. is putting up $30 million to fund new ideas for ending deforestation in Brazil, where the conflict between economic growth and ... So now the corporate-state news tries to "spin" it as a PR puff piece. pretty creepy. So then you click on the link and what does the ACTUAL print article state?

    I guess you don't read my blog http://elixirfield.blogspot.com This is not about some individualistic mission. There can be Daoist masters or other spiritual healers but yes the overall trajectory of life on Earth is quite different - that is a structural imposition that Westerners like to ignore. I recommend reading Noam Chomsky's book Year 501: The Conquest Continues or the book "Ecological Imperialism" by professor Alfred Crosby. What have I done "individually"? Yeah I literally ate out of dumpsters for 10 years since the US wastes so much food - while riding a bicycle all year long about 10 miles a day. I also worked for half a dozen environmental nonprofit organizations - Greenpeace and Citizens for a Better Environment and UW-Madison Greens and Resource Center of the Americas and Clean Water Action - and others. I did lots of "volunteer" activism - organizing coalitions and campaigns. Yes I did humanure composting - and still do. I grow mushrooms in a mini-forest now. So I've been doing environmental activism since the mid-80s - I became vegetarian in high school and started a recycling program at my high school and then I picked up 2 big garbages full of JUST cigarette butts along the Mississippi river. I planted an acre of chestnut trees - and pulled out 5 acres of buckthorn (european invasive) with a pick axe. I worked on an organic CSA farm full time for a summer and then 2 years in an organic fruit warehouse job. Yeah it's been fun but I was definitely going against the grain - people think I have just wasted my life and "done nothing." haha. So technically you can not live on your own land as a "permanent resident" unless the building is "up to code" - international code council - so you need to have "facilities" for certain building size and electrical smoke detectors hard-wired in - so electrical wiring and then pressurized water and some kind of septic system or into the utilities. This takes at least 30 thousand US dollars just to be a legal "permanent resident" - to have a "domicile." But if you live in a tent then you can legally live on your land for 7 months a year on a short term basis and then camp for 2 weeks at a time and then you can camp for free in the national forest also for 2 weeks at a time. So I bought land nearby the national forest - and so I can grow mushrooms and then camp year round for free. Technically I will be "homeless" so I could not have a driver's license as that requires a "permanent residency" to get a photo ID. So I would just have to use bicycles for transportation but as I said I already did that for 10 years nonstop while living in the city. So that's been my life. How about your life?

    You might want to study the empirical evidence better to put the "civilized world" into ecological context. When you say, "All I hear" - you are talking about corporate-state mass media control. You're not talking about the actual empirical evidence. https://phys.org/news/2019-07-breaching-carbon-threshold-mass-extinction.html So try to realize that these "civilized humans" that you speak of are completely clueless about the effects of civilization on planetary ecology!! It's kind of hilarious. Now this is a Daoist website - Daoism actually is NOT based on Western civilization (contrary to all the New Age Westernized Platonic Esoteric b.s. on this site). So in other words you can practice Daoist meditation Neidan and step outside the purvey of Western civilization, as it were. Humans, modern biological humans, have been around for over 1 million years and Daoist meditation is from our original human culture - the San Bushmen training states to visualize fire at the base of the spine to turn water into boiling steam as healing electromagnetic energy - called N/om. So what should we do? The Daoist meditation activates the pineal gland which resonates based on the Solar-Lunar electrogravitic energy that exists and resonates through the Equinox and Solstices and Full Moons, etc. So yes over hundreds of millions of years the Moon will change its trajectory to Earth. Right now the full moon resonates particularly with the Sun to create the 24 hour days, etc. So then when we activate the Yuan Qi this is the Cosmic Qi from virtual photons - relativistic quantum physics. The highest technology of all technologies is INSIDE us!! That's really all we can do. Realize that Western Civilization made a lot of fun technology but at great expense to the ecology of the Earth but there is a bigger dynamic at play that Western civilization "exists within." Most people are NOT willing to make that consideration - even despite this being a Daoist website. haha. Quite hilarious actually.

    Hey Joe - where'd you get that quantum mechanics? It's pretty funny that the co-author of the Sokal Hoax, Professor Jean Bricmont, also promotes the de Broglie model of quantum mechanics (which was the first model created, the model that included relativity). So now Bricmont is ignored by mainstream quantum mechanics since mainstream quantum mechanics tries to dismiss nonlocality. Be that as it may - quantum mechanics has been recognized as the foundation of physics since the early 1900s - and as my quantum mechanics professor Herbert J. Bernstein emphasized, people in high school take classical physics as their WRONG foundation of reality - so they are brainwashed from an early age! Kind of amazing if you think about it. I realized this intuitively - I refused to take high school physics - instead I scored 98% in biology on the ACT - and then I took quantum mechanics my first year of college. I also was secretly against the Pythagorean Theorem. haha. Anyway I've already posted the links for the quantum mechanics explaining global warming. The physics professor was at University of Chicago - which is a conservative school - so it can't be part of the "Libtard Snowflake Conspiracy." haha. Now he's at Oxford or is it Cambridge? focused on global warming physics still. https://news.uchicago.edu/story/reducing-c02-emissions-must-be-priority-mitigating-climate-change-study-says https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/9834215_Raymond_T_Pierrehumbert
  16. Question about breath retention

    I don't think the Wim Hof technique requires fast breathing initially - I think it just became "fast" breathing because people didn't really understand the reasoning or principles involved. I just saw a vid of a breatharian doing the Wim Hof technique in Israel and it was way too fast. DEEP breathing is the key - it doesn't have to be fast. The idea is to try to feel your kidneys with your stomach. This physically activates the adrenal medulla which then doubles your adrenaline levels.

    if you do breath retention you want to do it AFTER exhale. That activates your vagus nerve (parasympathetic nervous system). So for example Master Nan, Huai-chin makes this same point and also Wim Hof. I have details in my free training manual linked in my profile below, thanks.

    thanks for your help again. I also did a semester studying conservation biology in Costa Rica (1992, school for field studies). Thought you might be interested in how the arctic is about to go ice free: https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2591.0;attach=125457;image Then the Eastern Siberian Arctic Shelf methane will "unload" (Dr. Natalia Shakhova). So the global warming will keep accelerating in its rate. We had a dearth of mosquitoes since the arctic jet stream kept stuck low - in northern Minnesota - so freezing nights into mid-June. I would follow Dr. Carmen Solana who publishes as Sam Carana at http://arctic-news.blogspot.com
