Change Is Due - Good morning! - The latest EF4, EF5- twister hitting Oklahoma City the other day took incredible 30 minutes ploughing through entire districts and leaving a path of devastation and destruction at least a mile wide. The video taken from a helicopter revealed absolute chaos with houses ripped apart and scattered all over the place like boxes of matches, vehicles mangled like toy cars and charred vegetation like out of a war film. Not enough, under those piles of rubble, debris and mess are dozens if not more fatalities. Just heart- breaking! My heart and prayers go out to everyone who's lost someone!!! - It's always about human and animal lives first. Houses, cars, buildings, bridges, streets, gas and power lines can eventually be replaced, not so beloved ones and pets. In order to keep everyone out of harm's ways, we must reconsider how we want to build housing, schools, even entire cities in the future. It is absolutely imperative to take a new direction if we want to withstand natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes and bad thunderstorms in general. Actually we shouldn't call this path a new one really as old civilizations just as currently living indigenous tribes have relied on building underground for eons. Houses should be nothing but bubbles in the ground, have no ground garages or additions, and the roofs shouldn't stick out either. Building with wood, I was told, is way cheaper than anything else. Okay, but if housings need to be rebuilt, wouldn't solid concrete have paid off in the end? Wood snaps too easily and burns down to the ground merely in a matter of minutes. Quite scary, isn't it? By investing more into better and sturdier materials, Americans would save a lot of money and worries in the long run. In Europe we still primarily build with concrete. Eye- sore? Yes, at times, but in terms of safety almost unbeatable. We've had bad weather scenarios over there as well, especially the last couple of years. I've got to admit though, tornadoes are adding lots of unnecessary spices to our old soup of disasters. So, now we're also facing this so typically American phenomenon over in Europe. Not cool at all, but again nothing we could do anything about but keep building better and above all more cleverly. No roof is safe from a tornado of EF4 or EF5 strength, no matter where you live! We must globally find ways of lowering the prices as far as building in- ground concrete shells cheap. The glass for the bull's eye- windows needs to be worked on, too to make it both affordable and efficiently applicable. One major benefit of in- soil set structures is the naturally regulated heat and coolness. The temps stay around a reasonable medium all year long and could be altered by the use of solar panels on top of the bubble. These should generate enough energy to run electricity, heat, air- condition, etc. on an individual level and should disappear beneath a protective layer of metal and concrete whenever disaster strikes. If we wish to survive Mother Nature's mood swings, we will have to adjust as the climate is clearly changing. The less resistance there is on the ground with a tornado touching down, the smaller the mess and the less the destruction in general. - I once had a fancy dream which I guess was more of a karmic flash- back. In that dream I was dwelling in a cave, and I was looking out some window- like holes. If we've done this already, why not return to that way of living? Just a thought.

  1. First i would like to send my continued prayers to the people in Oklahoma that has lost many family members and homes in this devastion..i do agree with that homes should be built much better for the destruction that mother nature can bring...and the companies should make it more affordable for all..in the south the make the homes with cement and shells to withstand the hurricanes and such..and for us that live up north are seeing more and more tornadoes and flooding....i agree with the message you are sending Meg and hope that all is well and the help they need in Oklahoma gets to them fast...

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)   - Die Dauer unserer Zusammenkünfte mit anderen Seelen mag von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einer Stunde, einem Tag, einer Dekade oder sogar darüber hinaus variieren. Das zeichnet uns grundsätzlich alle aus. Beziehungen lassen sich niemals zeitlich messen sondern vielmehr in geteilten wie gegenseitig beigebrachten Lebenslektionen und kommen durchaus auch zwischen Seelengefährten, Zwillings- und rein theoretisch auch unter Parallelseelen vor. Letztere aber treffen recht unwahrscheinlich zur selben Zeit zusammen. - Lasst mich zuerst auf das Konzept der Zwillingsseelen, Zwillingsflammen oder auch Zwillingsstrahlen eingehen. Kurz zusammengefasst, handelt es sich hierbei um zwei Hälften EIN und DERSELBEN Seele, die zu Anbeginn der Zeit in absolut harmonischer Koexistenz lebten. Selbst als wir uns als Seelen von DER Quelle an sich abspalteten, um uns letztendlich zu individualisieren, waren wir unverändert eins. Jede ...

May I introduce myself ...

Hi, my name is Marion. I am originally from Austria, Europe and have been living here in New England for five and a half years ever since I got acquainted and subsequently wed to my sweet husband. I speak a few languages, and have always kept my ear on the ground as to what is going on around me politically, socially, economically, and most of all psychologically no matter where I am as I feel it is of magnificient importance to stay updated at least on the surface of major matters which simply make or break a country's society. Sure, I am not in the position whatsoever to bring changes upon this or that people, but I should at least be able to express my free opinion about what bothers the heck out of me and hopefully others too. The reason why I wanted to start blogging is that I simply do no longer want to just sit around idle and keep accepting and excusing certain occurrencs, events, trends, situations, developments, and facts because everybody ...

Ganz Blau Und Schwarz (III)

Ganz Blau Und Schwarz (III)   - Einen schönen guten Tag wünsche ich allerseits! - Nachdem wir uns also zu der Feststellung durchgerungen haben, dass wir durchaus gut beraten wären, schon rein aus karmischen Gründen heraus, jeglicher Form des Rassismus zu entsagen, nachdem wir doch bisweilen schon genügend der Diversität durchlaufen und damit auch dementsprechend viele Erfahrungen gemacht haben sollten, könnte das Problem an sich als endgültig gelöst betrachtet werden. Nun, leider stimmt das so auch wieder nicht ganz, sieht man von den neuesten unter uns Seelen ab, die entweder frisch gebacken oder einfach immer noch von recht niedrigem Grad beschaffen sind und derzeit ebenso unsere Welt bevölkern. Gerade aber diese Tatsache könnte damit sehr wohl auf DAS eigentliche Problem hindeuten, gerade in Anbetracht auf das zur Zeit national ausgetragene Debakel zwischen schwarz und blau. Dazu möchte ich jedoch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zurückkommen. - Weiters fand das doch schockierende gl...
