Why is it... that we know more about outer space than our precious Living Oceans... and Earth's precious life support environment takes a back seat to the stock market... GreenPeace was right all along...we need to take a stand... we are the hands and voice of the "mother nature" that everyone is waiting for... we need to care for our one and only actual home... beautiful Earth... Earth, Rivers and Oceans do not belong to the governments... although they would have us "think so"... and we pay them an admission fee.. for what we already paid them to protect... and they did not... and now we need to stand up, since industry is paying our already over paid governments... to sit down and keep quiet... while industry is allowed to pollute our air, land and Oceans... worldwide... from sea to shining sea... please see: the Story of Stuff dot com it will open your eyes to what is going on... Tons of plastic floating in the world's oceans is becoming the transport medium for Chemical Toxins carried to all Sea Life and finally, to us, sitting at the top of the food chain. The neuro-toxic damage to developing children's brains can no longer be ignored as autism has skyrocketed by 300%. Please sign our petition to help get the plastic out of the Oceans, and prevent more of what appears to be harmless plastic dumped in our Oceans in order to save life in the Oceans and the health of future generations. Join together in requesting the team-work of world governments to remove the plastic from the World's Oceans. http://OpenDoorWorld.com/petition Welcome divers and everyone who cares about the health of our oceans and coral reefs. We are seeking divers for a coral restoration project in the Key Largo area. Please join the team, stay in good condition, and be ready to dive with us when you are available. http://OpenDoorWorld.com/reef Capt Larry(at)OpenDoorWorld.com By the way, I would love to find a kind hearted soul to help me set up a 501-c-3 to help fund some of these projects. hey Scuba Alisa!...: -) thank you kindly for this LINK: http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-501c3-Nonprofit-Organization |

Wayne Dyer observations: EARLY in childhood... every human being decides for themselves... whether or not they live in a FRIENDLY UNIVERSE... or a HOSTILE UNIVERSE... and then creates their own "PPF", "Personal Perception Filter".. and from that moment on... they begin to perceive... and even project or create... exactly that type of universe... |

About me: I am proud to say... "i am who i am"... i am "comfortable in my own skin"... and i am very happy to be here on the planet with you... I am very clear that all human beings innately love one another... just like the whales and dolphins care for their pups at birth so lovingly... nudging them to the surface for that first breath of air... I do like open and flowing communication... i value that... a lot... without open communication... no relationship is real.. it just can't grow without it.. i ask for honesty and monogamy in a relationship... if that's too much... press delete now... i ask for tenderness... i like to hold hands and show affection.. i love to cuddle... i love the sound of the rain and thunderstorms and when the night is clear.. a walk.. gazing at the stars... I am just an ordinary easy going, eco friendly kind of a guy. I love the Ocean and want to do whatever is possible to help protect our remaining coral reefs in the Florida Keys and i am seeking my soul-mate to share the naure and waterways of the Florida Keys. I enjoy boating, scuba, snorkeling, underwater photography and sunsets on the bay side at the Caribbean Club, here in Key Largo. If you visit the Florida Keys and you are interested in snorkeling on the reefs, underwater photography and ocean conservation, please contact me by email, and also visit my home page: http://OpenDoorWorld.com.  About Autism: ---------------- Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological development disorder that affects the developmental functioning of the brain, impacting typical development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills.  Both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, understanding body language, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Autism encompasses a wide spectrum of function and it affects each individual differently and at varying degrees.  After a long heart-to-heart conversation with my parents, i recently learned some of my early childhood history that i was unaware of... here is the short version of what i was informed of... i was not expected to make it into this world... nor to survive the early days here..
i was basically maintained in a sleep state for about the first 4 years... so... i kind of skipped over some of those early developmental classes :-) now... i can finally understand why it was so challenging to socialize... especially in the early years... and why i choose careers in electronics and photography... but my world started to expand when i found the "EST" seminars in Miami, starting in 1979, assisting in seminars and the 6-day in upstate New York. EST is now the LandMark Forum and their courses have opened my eyes to life in ways that i can not even begin to express in words. And i want to thank my beautiful daughter Jennifer (BeingMagazine.com) for the incredible loving light she is shining in this universe.

When you first awaken each morning... quietly become aware of the following... "the early morning breeze has "secrets" to tell you"... do not go back to sleep... and do not get up... just listen quietly ... very, very carefully... to your first thoughts in the early, early, morning... there you will find your soul... speaking softly.... and hoping you will listen... this time... |

From the Zen Habits page: http://zenhabits.net/2007/06/a-guide-to-cultivating-compassion-in-your-life-with-7-practices/ 7 Compassion Practices 1. Morning ritual. Greet each morning with a ritual. Try this one, suggest by the Dalai Lama: "Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can." Then, when you've done this, try one of the practices below. 2. Empathy Practice. The first step in cultivating compassion is to develop empathy for your fellow human beings. Many of us believe that we have empathy, and on some level nearly all of us do. But many times we are centered on ourselves (I'm no exception) and we let our sense of empathy get rusty. Try this practice: Imagine that a loved one is suffering. Something terrible has happened to him or her. Now try to imagine the pain they are going through. Imagine the suffering in as much detail as possible. After doing this practice for a couple of weeks, you should try moving on to imagining the suffering of others you know, not just those who are close to you. 3. Commonalities practice. Instead of recognizing the differences between yourself and others, try to recognize what you have in common. At the root of it all, we are all human beings. We need food, and shelter, and love. We crave attention, and recognition, and affection, and above all, happiness. Reflect on these commonalities you have with every other human being, and ignore the differences. One of my favorite exercises comes from a great article from Ode Magazine — it's a five-step exercise to try when you meet friends and strangers. Do it discreetly and try to do all the steps with the same person. With your attention geared to the other person, tell yourself: 1. Step 1: "Just like me, this person is seeking happiness in his/her life." 2. Step 2: "Just like me, this person is trying to avoid suffering in his/her life." 3. Step 3: "Just like me, this person has known sadness, loneliness and despair." 4. Step 4: "Just like me, this person is seeking to fill his/her needs." 5. Step 5: "Just like me, this person is learning about life." 4. Relief of suffering practice. Once you can empathize with another person, and understand his humanity and suffering, the next step is to want that person to be free from suffering. This is the heart of compassion — actually the definition of it. Try this exercise: Imagine the suffering of a human being you've met recently. Now imagine that you are the one going through that suffering. Reflect on how much you would like that suffering to end. Reflect on how happy you would be if another human being desired your suffering to end, and acted upon it. Open your heart to that human being and if you feel even a little that you'd want their suffering to end, reflect on that feeling. That's the feeling that you want to develop. With constant practice, that feeling can be grown and nurtured. 5. Act of kindness practice. Now that you've gotten good at the 4th practice, take the exercise a step further. Imagine again the suffering of someone you know or met recently. Imagine again that you are that person, and are going through that suffering. Now imagine that another human being would like your suffering to end — perhaps your mother or another loved one. What would you like for that person to do to end your suffering? Now reverse roles: you are the person who desires for the other person's suffering to end. Imagine that you do something to help ease the suffering, or end it completely. Once you get good at this stage, practice doing something small each day to help end the suffering of others, even in a tiny way. Even a smile, or a kind word, or doing an errand or chore, or just talking about a problem with another person. Practice doing something kind to help ease the suffering of others. When you are good at this, find a way to make it a daily practice, and eventually a throughout-the-day practice. 6. Those who mistreat us practice. The final stage in these compassion practices is to not only want to ease the suffering of those we love and meet, but even those who mistreat us. When we encounter someone who mistreats us, instead of acting in anger, withdraw. Later, when you are calm and more detached, reflect on that person who mistreated you. Try to imagine the background of that person. Try to imagine what that person was taught as a child. Try to imagine the day or week that person was going through, and what kind of bad things had happened to that person. Try to imagine the mood and state of mind that person was in — the suffering that person must have been going through to mistreat you that way. And understand that their action was not about you, but about what they were going through. Now think some more about the suffering of that poor person, and see if you can imagine trying to stop the suffering of that person. And then reflect that if you mistreated someone, and they acted with kindness and compassion toward you, whether that would make you less likely to mistreat that person the next time, and more likely to be kind to that person. Once you have mastered this practice of reflection, try acting with compassion and understanding the next time a person treats you. Do it in little doses, until you are good at it. Practice makes perfect. 7. Evening routine. I highly recommend that you take a few minutes before you go to bed to reflect upon your day. Think about the people you met and talked to, and how you treated each other. Think about your goal that you stated this morning, to act with compassion towards others. How well did you do? What could you do better? What did you learn from your experiences today? And if you have time, try one of the above practices and exercises. These compassionate practices can be done anywhere, any time. At work, at home, on the road, while traveling, while at a store, while at the home of a friend or family member. By sandwiching your day with a morning and evening ritual, you can frame your day properly, in an attitude of trying to practice compassion and develop it within yourself. And with practice, you can begin to do it throughout the day, and throughout your lifetime. This, above all, with bring happiness to your life and to those around you.
