Maximize life

Following the invention of the computer - the ultimate tool for storing and processing information, and the advent of the Internet, we have received new, powerful tools for disseminating knowledge and perfecting creativity. And now, following developments in artificial intelligence, we are on the verge of a huge revolution in the basic force that shapes our human culture - our learning skills.

When you realize, that you are living in an ocean of infinite energy, all you have to do is convert one form of energy into another form, which you are comfortable using. Usually, we want to produce from all energy ... electricity - the power behind our culture. Not only the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy, (I am not worried about the prediction that the sun will 'run out' to us in ... 5 billion years.) - Every movement is an expression of free energy - wind, wave motion, temperature differences, pressure differences, and the like.

Is a habitable apartment supposed to cost you several millions, enslave you to a bank mortgage or get you stuck in a troubled neighborhood? Can only professional architects and builders build a house that will not collapse on its occupants? It turns out that this is very far from the truth. Buying a home in our new and brave world is just another way for the rich to maximize their profits on you. Housing should be one of your basic rights in an enlightened society. In such a company, if you do not have the option to purchase your own home, the government offers you free housing for the rest of your life. It certainly does not give the bank any legal right to foreclose on your home for a debt and throw you into the street. In this article we will see how easy and cheap it is to build a beautiful house in a surprising variety of construction methods, from the simplest and oldest to the most up-to-date and sophisticated.

It is always worth learning from those who have done so. It turns out, there are also clean cities in the world, which are exemplary of sustainability and they teach us about the wonderful potential of the human race to grow as an enlightened society. Such a society not only does not destroy nature but cultivates it. It turns the city itself into a forest.

It is hard to believe that one ordinary person can have a great impact on society as a whole. Unfortunately, this is usually true - the community is stronger than the individual and keeps him from deviating from the 'grass height' of the 'meanest average' and the 'silent majority'. But every now and then, someone shows up to prove the opposite - one person can inspire and generate a big social movement that will make waves. Of course, this person must be determined, brave and persevere in the task he has undertaken ... 'against all odds';

One of the wonderful topics that touches deep in my heart is the topic of ‘restoration’ or ‘rehabilitation’. In English it sounds more exotic - RESTORATION. Anything that has been destroyed, worn out, or lost its beauty over time and circumstances, can be restored to its original glory, and with creativity and good will, one can even ... improve it to a new degree of perfection! To our bond, we can rehabilitate and renew all the forests we have leased for two hundred years without mercy and restore the soil to its fertility. We can clean the rivers and seas and purify the air we breathe. We can return en masse the nearly extinct fish, and other species on the verge of extinction. We can heal the world!

There is a ridiculous, unimaginable and unforgivable gap between the sophisticated technology we have developed and the fact that hundreds of millions of people still suffer and die from things that are very easy to prevent, such as hunger, polluted water, lack of housing, etc. - simply, basic needs. Not to wait for the dysfunctional governments of many of the countries, all these problems can be solved if we adopt for them the principles of 'Gandhi engineering' - relatively simple, very cheap means, some of which are zero, very easy to produce.

Laughter frees you from patterns of perception and thinking - it shows you a different angle on reality and thus helps you escape from the prison of the routine and the obvious. It makes you more powerful because it frees you from the 'conventions' that your mind is bound to.

The Buddha says that if you want to remain loving you must turn your love into compassion. It is a deep awareness of the sorrow and suffering in reality, in every existence on earth, but also an agreement to love what is there. In this way, your pain is transformed into a unique sweetness.

Dada and Surrealism were revolutionary movements that responded to the madness of World War I by changing general values in the field of art, society and culture. Although they soon disappeared, they continue to influence all modern artistic movements.
