Decision Making Free Post

All around the world, there are people that run into many different conflicts, no matter how much energy that they have. They could be threatened in many ways, and people are forced to use their energy trapped in their minds, hearts, and spirits, to make decisions that will put them on the right spiritual path. Unfortunately, there are many people who make the wrong decisions, and they have to suffer the consequences of their actions, just like Plaxico Burress did when he took a loaded gun into a New York City nightclub, instead of staying home and taking care of their families. In fact, after the gun went off, Burress tried to cover it up by checking into a local hospital, while signing in as Harris Smith. Not only that, he told hospital administrators that he was shot at an Applebees. I know what is eventually going to happen to poor Plaxico Burress. He is going to go to jail, possibly for the rest of his life because he made one reckless decision that would ruin his life, as well as his legacy, forever. This proves that people must use their energy in order to make wise decisions, and Plaxico Burress did not do it.

Wendell Berry

According to Wendell Berry, energy is all around us, and it lasts for an eternity. I believe that all energy lingers in all corners of the universe, and if we accept it, then we could save the planet by recycling cardboard and bottles. However, I believe that many lifeforms can also be recycled in a process called reincarnation. When people die, they could possibly be reincarnated in the generation in the future, according to religion. Many people think that when they die, then they are gone for good. But, souls do not die.

That is true. However, have you ever thought of the possibility that after people or animals die, their souls could be reincarnated into the next generation or two, just like the cardboard that you were talking about. I remember the story that one of my high school teachers told me, that the Yupiks remove the bladder of the animals that they kill, and place them into the sea, so it can possibly be reincarnated into another animal.

According to Thomas Joseph, the magic of colors energize all matter on the planet Earth. He also explains how the seven colors can link to us human beings spiritually by using the seven colors to link to the seven chakras within our bodies, and how it links with our nervous system that controls everything we do. He says that these colors control our body:

Red: Base
Orange: Sacral Center
Yellow: Solar Plexus
Green: Heart Center
Blue: Throat Chakra
Indigo: Third Eye
Purple: Crown

He also says that the red, orange, and yellow colors have low frequencies, which represent our physical activities, and the green, blue, indigo, and violet colors have high frequencies, which represents communication with our internal environment. What he means is that we need to look deep within ourselves in order to find the path of enlightenment. This is all true because I have also felt the seven chakras within myself. I appreciate it when Thomas Joseph has stressed this important matter to the rest of us common individuals.

Literal Energy Consumption Free Post

Whenever people eat food or drink liquid, they replenish their energy supply that is within their body. Many foods include pizza, hot dogs, lettuce, carrots, apples, oranges, etc. That way, people can get through one normal day at school, or at work, without whining about how they are so hungry all the time whenever other people are trying to work.

It is really sad that the people all around the world have been suffering because of tainted drinking water, and all of the other natural resources being destroyed. He explains how the politicians all around the world have been creating stimulous packages so they could save their own economies. But, I think that they are overlooking the different forms of energy that could be used instead of electricity, water, and air. Maybe they overlooked how people can take energy from many different places, such as plants and other animals. I remember seeing some people in cartoons, that I saw when I was young, using hamsters running on hamster wheels with giant pieces of steak attached to the tops of the wheel in order to generate power for their community. I know it is only a cartoon, but maybe people could use those kinds of ideas to solve the problem of energy in our country.

Energy Map

As the seasons change, the sun's rays directly point to a particular spot on the planet Earth. For this reason, I was not surprised that the countries near the equator, the Tropic of Cancer, and the Tropic of Capricorn, would use the most solar energy. However, I was surprised of the fact that the northern countries of the world do not use as much solar energy in the summer, due to the fact that in the summer, the sun is out all of the time for sixty days. But, it also is the opposite in the winter time, so that might explain the lack of solar energy usage as well.

Forest Free Post

I understand that the plants use photosynthesis in order to create their food. So I thought that if all of the people in a football stadium stand in the middle of the forest, and scream at the top of their lungs, just like they would do at a football game, then the fans would create enough carbon dioxide to allow every single tree within the vicinity to use their process of photosynthesis so they can project oxygen back into the air. In other words, if people talked to their plants, then they would be helping each other survive.

Nave describes the plants as autotrophs because they are able to transport their energy by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. It's nutrients are also formed when the combination of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight convert the nutrients into sugar, which is also known as glucose. Since the nutrients are always processed in the leaves, the nutrients must go to the other parts of the plant. In addition, the glucose and all the other organic molecules are transported along the plant through a special layer of plant tissue known as phloem. Phloem, if you don't already know, is composed of living cells that transport a water solution of sugars that we commonly call sap. The movement throughout the plant is classified by the pressure-flow theory, which is where the sugar-containing fluid is moved through sieve tubes by fluid pressure. This means that nutrients are moved from the photosynthetic site, also known as the source, to the place where the sugar is being used, which is classified as the sink, whether it moves up or down the stem of the plant. Though the author is a scientist, and I would not question what he is saying, it is extremely difficult for the common reader to understand. However, I appreciate how he explains the plant's process of photosynthesis very much because it is all true.

Energy Calculator's Carbon Footprint

After taking the Carbon Footprint test on the BP Energy Calculator, I was surprised that I use 25,667 Kilowatts of power per year, but most of the questions asked me how much I use on planes, trains, and taxis. I am only a college student, so I do not go on business trips, or take a train in a subway on a daily basis. I thought that the test was going to ask me questions about electronic devices, like televisions, blue ray players, DVD Players, DVD Recorders, and VCRs; not the kind of questions like business travel, taxi services, and long haul flights. The only kind of flights that I have been on, in recent years, are the short ones to Deadhorse for two weeks of work, and the ones coming back for two weeks of break. Somehow, many people leave the lights on in their homes, therefore wasting a ton of energy, but there are many different types of energy that can be found in many different places.
