Most options have an element of pain to them. The trick is to pick your pain wisely as some options, like not exercising, appear to have less pain the the short term but are far more painful long-term.

What A Circus!
The truth is even more reason not to get eaten up by trivialities. The truth is that we are immortal, indestructible spiritual beings enjoying a mortal existence. The truth is that nothing can hurt you as a being unless you agree to being hurt.
My advice? Stop being so damned agreeable to being hurt! Enjoy the ride! Decide what game you want to play then play it!
The game you will enjoy most is one based on your basic purpose and for which you have a natural talent and suits your personality.
If you do not know what your basic purpose is in life, here are some tips to find it.
In chatting to many people I have been able to help them identify their basic purpose. It has always been a specialization of the desire to help.
I think the problem is that we are not taught to look for it, to recognize and pursue it. In many cases we are dissuaded from it – “You can’t make enough money doing that!”
If you would like some ideas on how to identify your basic purpose, here’s a blog post I wrote to help you:
How To Work Out Your Basic Purpose In Life
Here’s Why the End of Coal is Just Another Failed Utopia
Take a quick look at the brave new world that is renewable energy and with it the end of coal.
Of course, this has been followed up with a steady stream of hysteria. Stern-faced weather-men, weather-women, and weather-people insist we’re facing apocalyptic heat, or cold, or rain or cats coming down, even dogs. Either way, New York is soon to be underwater… or is it dry as a bone? Depends on the day and weather-people, I guess.
One does have to wonder at what point folks wake up. Perhaps literally it takes place when one wakes in the morning, pulls back the curtains, and sees the sun shining and a beautiful day ahead… right after having heard the night before from some spineless diversity hire on the idiot box that Armageddon is surely coming… because, climate change. I often wonder about these things.
It’s worth remembering that the witch burning in the so-called Dark Ages lasted for nearly a decade and by some accounts only stopped when they began running out of women, so it’s entirely possible that this hysteria continues unchecked for a long time.
What warms the cockles of my heart (I’m not sure what cockles are but mine are warm) is that clearly many countries either see this for the obvious nonsense it is or they simply look at the option of baking or freezing (depending on where they live and perhaps the seasons), and conclude that they are unprepared to give up on the central heating or air conditioner. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the “elites” who are telling them to stop showering do so from the comforts of one of their multiple mansions after landing their private jets. Either which way, electricity consumption seems to be continuing unabated — as we promised it would.
Here’s a neat infographic of what powered the world last year.
It’s almost as if coal isn’t going away anytime soon. Wow! “You mean to say the pointy shoes with their “modeling” of outcomes are about as far off as Neil Ferguson was on the COVID hysteria.
And now as ZeroHedge reports, Fortescue Metals just halted playing the carbon offset game.
Backfire: World’s Fourth Largest Iron Ore Producer Stops Purchasing Carbon Offsets
We are the only heavy emitter in the world to stop purchasing voluntary offsets,” Dino Otranto, chief executive officer of Fortescue’s metals business.
Good for them! Carbon credits are a giant scam — the modern day equivalent of purchasing indulgences from the church.
Follow The Money – Who Owns The Gas?
Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline: “It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine. The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars.
These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine’s gas reserves could be much larger.
Who Owns the Gas Fields?
The issue of sovereignty over Gaza’s gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine. The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza’s offshore gas reserves.
British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields.
In 2006, British Gas “was close to signing a deal to pump the gas to Egypt.” (Times, May, 23, 2007). According to reports, British Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened on behalf of Israel with a view to shunting the agreement with Egypt.
Gaza and Energy Geopolitics
The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law.”
Stifling Or Finding Purpose?
Close your eyes for a minute and envisage what it would be like if all kids were working on their basic purpose in life? Here’s a few techniques to help you do that with at least one of them.
Almost completely ignored by the media, thousands of Hebrew, Muslim and Christian women have walked together in Israel for peace.
In the new official video of the Women Wage Peace movement, Israeli singer Yael Deckelbaum sings the song “Prayer of the Mothers” alongside women and mothers of all religions, showing what music can change. An all-female event that is worth a thousand words.
Let’s add power to this movement, share it as much as you can!

Take A Walk, Not A Pill
Yoshinori Ohsumi on Intermittent Fasting
When the human body is hungry, it eats itself, does a purification process, removing all the sick cells, cancer cells, aging cells and Alzheimer’s.
Creation of special proteins that are formed only under certain circumstances, and when they are finished, the body selectively collects dead tumor cells, dissolves them and restores the state the body enjoys. This is what recycling looks like.
Scientists have succeeded in learning through lengthy and specialized research that the autophagy process requires unusual conditions that force the body to perform this process.
These circumstances require a person to abstain from food and beverage for 16 hours (8/16 cycle, eat 8 fast 16).
Human beings should function normally during this period. This process should be repeated for some time to reach the body for maximum use and to prevent the sick cells from reacting.
It is recommended to repeat the hunger and thirst process two or three days a week.

(Tom: Subsequent data suggests that a maximum of 12 hours fasting a day on a regular basis does not produce the endocrine disruption that 16:8 has been found to cause. May 2024)
