FREE BOOK -- The Light of Creation (Guardian of the Light book 1)

This is a 500+ page book originally put out for Kindle back in August of 2010. I didn't have nearly the advertising resources available to get the word out about it so it didn't sell much at all. To be honest, though, for a number of reasons I won't mention (there really is no excuse for this), the editing on it wasn't nearly as good as it should have been. That has been corrected.

The category here is definitely Sci-Fi Fantasy with an emphasis on the tradition that Terry Brooks established with his "Knight of the Word" series. It also incorporates a bit of the philosophy formulated in Cosmolosophy. I think you will find it a good read as it has a lot of action, contemporary themes as well as some characters you will come to care about.

I am putting it out for free now as I am no longer concerned about trying to make a little extra cash from it. I'm hoping that, if people enjoy it, they will pass the blog links on to friends. All in the name of change you understand.

I have it linked to by public Drop Box account in the following file types. Enjoy:

A planet without Trees is as unthinkable as an ocean without coral or fish

The following post was prompted by the Rolling Stone article linked below:

As someone who lives in a state that refers to itself as the "Evergreen" you come to love big Douglas Fir, and ponderosa pine, stands as much as the semi constant drzzil we get here. You only need to stand awhile, alone, in a big patch of rain forest to understand why.

It was bad enough that we allowed as much clear cutting as we did in years past, watching more than just the hills get washed away, choking streams that added insult to injury to the few dam stressed fish still making it back. Now, with the inability to confront much of anything that's truly important across the nation (including in this state), deforestation will occur even if greed cutting stops completely.

That's for a lot of reasons, of course, but for the most part it boils down to what allows greed, or unbelievable self interests, to continue at all. In this is much of why we can't govern ourselves any more, not to mention why the way what is a priority gets determined.

If we do not stop doing business as usual; take some time and figure out a better way to coordinate our collective needs and desires with our individual requirements of same, we will make poison out of a living miracle, and die off horribly in an orgy of shame, insanity and butchery. One can scarcely add any imagination at all to the final bunch of decades without shuddering in fear and disgust.

Do not let this happen. Think about what you can do, talking to your friends, sharing with neighbors, to organize and plan for how we go about stopping. How we go about helping each other get through such a stoppage, and how we collectively work out what a better organizational model might be, and then how we make it happen.

Time's running out folks.


The Fate of Trees: How Climate Change May Alter Forests Worldwide

The following post was prompted by The Guardian article linked below:

This excellent bit of British and Indian history ought to have been more than ample incentive for the West to accept the notion that Capitalism cannot ever be trusted. If the "Great Depression" hadn't been enough, The "Great Recession" of 2007 to 2009 would, to any normally observant human, as a case of "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me as many times as you please again shame hardly even begins to cover what we should be considering of ourselves." That this has not been the case should be are real cause for concern here. For, truly, we do not seem to be observant in any normal sense at all any more. And more's the pity.

That we can now, also, frame an argument based a good deal more on the objective facts of what the electrification of experience retrieval has done to the nature of not only work, but of what has become of money and information, ought to be pouring salt on an open wound. For now, not only is Capitalism not to be trusted, it is also fundamentally obsolete. An obsolescence that is completely antithetical to further human evolution; both in terms of individual advancement as well as more effective social organization.

I will leave you now with one quote from this article:

"...The 300-year-old question of how to cope with the power and perils of large multinational corporations remains today without a clear answer: it is not clear how a nation state can adequately protect itself and its citizens from corporate excess. As the international subprime bubble and bank collapses of 2007-2009 have so recently demonstrated, just as corporations can shape the destiny of nations, they can also drag down their economies. In all, US and European banks lost more than $1tn on toxic assets from January 2007 to September 2009. What Burke feared the East India Company would do to England in 1772 actually happened to Iceland in 2008-11, when the systemic collapse of all three of the country’s major privately owned commercial banks brought the country to the brink of complete bankruptcy. A powerful corporation can still overwhelm or subvert a state every bit as effectively as the East India Company did in Bengal in 1765..."

Selling You on the Way to See Whatever it Takes to Keep the Money Channels Open to Big Money

The following post was prompted by the Daily Beast article linked below.

If ever there were an excellent example of what constitutes the new "amplification" of message in the age of hyper marketing this is it. And lest you haven't heard yet, this new amplification encompasses the factors of message engineering, as well as both the breadth and length of distribution. A kind of amplification where information itself feeds the "amplifiers" to a degree that no mere megaphone that you or I could plug into could provide.

And because information can buy even those involved with the supposed objective creation of new information (there is, after all, a great deal of instrumentation involved to do serious work, not to mention the carefully instructed accreditation that provides credibility), we can be sure that "objective" is as relative as the perception of value itself.

What we are left with is a new evolutionary environment where everything is commodity and nothing means what it appears so artfully, and consistently over time and space, to mean. Of course, it won't seem to matter as you will be so acclimated inside of this dream dreaming machine, you won't have time to register on the pain that keeps you consuming ever more deeply into the rabbit hole.

An Open Source Freebie for Anyone Interested in Electrolysis

It wouldn't surprise me if somebody has already looked into and rejected this suggestion, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. You never know. Perhaps somebody has, forgotten about it, and now its time to ask again.

If it were possible to create holes in an electrically conductive material that were just a little smaller than a water molecule in its vapor state, and at very high temperature and pressure, such that the water molecule couldn't pass through, you could create a chamber that could do electrolysis in a quite novel new way.

The chamber in question would be subject to both a very strong magnetic field, as well as the electrical differential of perforated electrodes that would be hollow. The magnetic field polarity would match the electrode polarity so that not only would the water molecule be energized to the proper alignment, but hydrogen would go to its electrode, and oxygen to the other. One might even try to get the pressurized steam to maze as well.

This is not an idle question for me. Several decades ago I went to a University of Washington professor and paid him to do very down and dirty feasibility calculations on whether the magnetic field and maze resonance energizing would be sufficient to split water vapor at high temperature and pressure. I did this as part of considering the electrolysis options of my sea based variation of the Yen Tornado wind turbine.

His sense was that you would separate some of the water vapor but it would definitely be incomplete; even to the point of ending up with hydrogen peroxide, as well as a little left over H2O. If you could throw in the electrical differential, even without the resonance thing, and the only escape aperture was smaller than H2O, the results might be a great deal more conducive to a viable process.

The thing to remember with sea water is that you would want to boil it in the first place in order to get rid of the salt before you subjected it to the electrical differential. Skipping the step of having to let it condense back to its liquid state would be helpful indeed.

There are, of course, a lot of ifs here, and it would take some significant resources to work through them all. Holes that small in a material able to handle temperature, pressure and be conductive to boot, even in today's nano tech, materials rich, world may still not be possible, but its still an approach that everyone should keep in mind.

Still in doubt about how information and money are the same thing?

It's rapidly getting to the point where I literally can't keep up with flagging all of the documentation that information and money are the same thing. Which is, of course, only one of the reasons that Capitalism is obsolete.
