People Of Earth: Prepare For Economic Disaster

People Of Earth: Prepare For Economic Disaster: "even without all of the trouble in the Middle East the world was already heading for an oil crunch. The global demand for oil is rising at a very vigorous pace. For example, last year Chinese demand for oil increased by almost 1 million barrels per day. That is absolutely staggering. The Chinese are now buying more new cars every year than Americans are, and so Chinese demand for oil is only going to continue to increase.

Much could be done to increase the global supply of oil, but so far our politicians and the major oil company executives are sitting on their hands. They seem to like the increasing oil prices.

So for now it looks like oil prices will continue to rise and this is going to result in much higher prices at the gas pump.

Already, ABC News is reporting that regular unleaded gasoline is going for $5.29 a gallon at one gas station in Orlando, Florida."

FrumFind.org » Blog Archive » Staying Closer During The Social Media Revolution.: "Briefly, it’s my belief and concern as people become more and more “networked” their list of “networked” friends versus true friends will become increasingly difficult to manage. I would like to suggest that people stay in contact utilizing a simple e-mail format.
What I suggest if you have a large list of friends, send out about 50 or so e-mails over the next few days to stay in touch, make it personal or keep it general. Just as texting is the new, “hi, how are things kind of call” a quick e-mail update, even if not personal is a way to stay connected.
While it may be a major goal of the phone companies to keep every single person connected, every single minute of the day, there are people out there that perhaps we should send a monthly e-mail to, so that they know we are still thinking of them."

Creation-Using The Hebrew Letters « TheWritersCafe.org: "G-d’s force (in it’s pure unrestrained form) so powerful that even G-d himself could not be able to make a vessel capable to contain it?

Before I go with the more tag, in one of my classic cliff-hangers, I would like to propose that the intuitive understanding that one may have regarding weather or not these question are even “fair” questions to ask, based on normal logic and philosophical questioning methods; I would also like to state for the record, that answering these questions in an essential component of developing a true understanding of the amazing depth, and the deep mysteries that the great Kabbalists, such as Rabbi Isaac Luria, the Arizal of the 16th century were able to unlock, understand, and explain."

BARS FOR THE MIND: BIBLICAL ARCHETYPE RECALL SYMBOLS

BARS FOR THE MIND: BIBLICAL ARCHETYPE RECALL SYMBOLS: "the order of the Sages proscribed daily prayer: “the amidah or shemonah esrei.” (Standing Prayer- or 18 Blessings.)
These blessings are mystically taught to correspond to the vertebrae in the human spine or the number of times the name of G-d occurs in the biblical account of creation.

From either vantage point this foundational prayer is taught to parallel the basic foundation of our physical world: our very bodies and the physical world which surrounds it.
In the study of psychology the pioneer Maslow formulated a hierarchy of human needs starting with the most basic being physical and enumerating nine more in descending priority to human existence.
While that list may or may not be accurate for human instinct, from a spiritual perspective we want to underscore that priorities based on ideals of Divine will are higher then those of basic instinct"

Lessons From the Cockpit: Everyday Wisdom from the Flying Life - Lessons - Live Your Future Now: "When I ask that question to a variety of people, most answers are not exotic. People say they would:

Read
Write
Hike
Camp
Spend more time outdoors
Work in the garden
Exercise
Spend time with friends
I’ve yet to hear anyone say they would:

Eat more
Watch more television
Surf the internet more
The question is great because the answers always remind me that most of the things we all want for ourselves, are simple activities we can have now. Yet so many defer them until they “have enough money” or “have more time.”"

Or worse, you start to post pictures to Facebook about the rocking time you’re having at the ball game, and stop because you’re pretty sure that"
