Starvation in North America Because of Rising Food Prices!

WE HAVE SEEN BETTER TIMES OURSELVES

Haiti is on no body's favourite list. When asked to help Haiti, almost all governments look to others to help out. France says Haiti is closer to United States so why does the United States not do more? Canada says France could do more. Canadians find Haiti a little too political, too hot a potato. So is the UK going to help Haiti or the European Union, Spain, Portugal?

Without help to feed themselves the Haitians are forced onto the streets. Would you not go out into the street and storm the palace if your children were hungry and you knew not where their next meal was coming from. Shades of the French revolution!

Remember that its not just wheat prices that are high. Its also corn and rice. So what are we going to do. Are we just going to watch like we watched the utter violence on our sensibilities of the recent Canadian seal hunt?

Starvation in Haiti may be just the next step in a much bigger trend. Think of what is happening around the world as food prices soar beyond the reach of many poor.

China has revealed that the human to human transmission of bird flu, the pandemic variety occurred at the end of 2007. Do you think this is the last you will hear of this flu. Think again, and think of what I wrote earlier about the perfect storm. The rice people think the perfect storm has already occurred in the rice industry, but it is only a beginning. We need to act before the other storms collide together. Whew! Or, should I say Wooh!

Are You Missing Issues of Wooooooh's Stream?

WE ARE CREATIVE EVEN IN OUR ERRORS

Wooooooh's Stream is a constant flow of articles from my different desks in America, Britain, Canada, or wherever my laptop comes to rest. Yes! Its that sort of world! Isn't it! I am Arthur Lake, an observer of life and technology. Each article that I compose is about one page in length, occasionally longer, and occasionally shorter! If you just show up on my blog page you will see one article and have to find another.

That's why you should subscribe! Do it now so as not to forget. It helps you, and it gives me motivation to be more creative and more substantive in my blogs to you.

I was a student of computer programming at one stage of my life and was taught to give each module a single purpose, not to overload it. This I try to do, but sometimes don't. I am far from perfect.

I make many mistakes and I sometimes make them intentionally just to make myself think. That's the sufi in me, the Gurdieffian trace that emerges to enlighten. The world is not trying to be perfect.

Have you ever noticed how messed up our world really is? Do you take in the confusion or does your mind shut it out and target those regions that look orderly? I hate confusion, but my mind is capable of tracking many things reasonably intelligently. This is why, I focus on being creative.

Artistic creativity involves messing things up a bit in order to extract something relevant to the focus of the artist. Creativity requires capability, which requires learning new things that you can mix up. Mixing things up means that you make errors, and making errors is part of learning and creativity. Why do you think the world is so mixed up? Whatever intelligence is operating in our universe does not avoid mixing things up, experimenting and getting creative with all sorts of things.

This is why, I sense that we are part of an ongoing creation process. We see the errors, and some of us are living the errors. Errors may be an integral part of our being, or they may overcome us and be our being. In the end, we are a messy bunch of errors. All of us are just a messy messy collection of errors. But, that's ok. We are not forgotten. The universe cannot forget us because the energy required to create even one of the most humble of entities is absolutely enormous, more enormous than we can ever realize and that is because we are Mandelbrot kids.

We are destined for reproduction, errors and all. And, that's the beauty of it. We are loved for our errors and perpetuated despite them.

We are loved. We are loved. Yes! Yes!

We will come back! We will come back!

We love you! We hope that you will return, or at least subscribe.

Frozen Time But Not Frozen in Time

We have a world in which matter can assume the different states of gas, liquid, or solid depending on temperature. We could possibly 'exist' in a universe that evolves through the three states of matter in a macro sense, see Zeeya Merali's article, Faster, faster, time is running out! in the December 22nd, 2007 issue of New Scientist. What we don't know is our key relationships.

We cannot be sure that we are fixed already for all time. As slowly moving or rapidly exploding sentient beings, we cannot know the relative speeds of light and matter in the sense of some containing framework. A notion that may be difficult to comprehend.

We have operational concepts that suggest that we have freedom to choose, which is what we seem to be doing all the time. We don't see ourselves as single dimensional entities, but at least three dimensional even though we know of more dimensions that we cannot observe from where we are and because of who and what we are.

We are aware that to be what we are has taken a very long time, and that we were not just a creation of seven days, no matter how that may be measured, but we were programmed by our gaia over many many millions of years. Each word of the language that makes us up went through the filter of many millions of years of whittling our being out of the fabric of our universe.

We do know that time is something that reaches infinitely in all directions and spaces, and that we are presently helpless in attempting to reach into those directions and spaces, but that we hope that we shall oversome our inability.

We sense that we have self awareness, that we have some mastery over a simple range of senses that arise from waves of different forms passing over instruments within our bodies. We are aware that we are made up of solids, liquids, and gases. We are aware that should we be all solid, we would not have life, or if we were all liquid we would not have life, or if we were all gas, we would not have life. We are aware, thus that our existence is within a framework of solid, liquid, and gas. We are also aware that the solids in our being provide structure, but seem to be created out of inspirations that arise from our tapping into an energy seemingly driven by light.

We don't really understand our relationship to light. We know that light seems to be released from matter, but we do not know whether this is because matter engulfs light as it travels through spacetime, or whether light joins to itself in a way that matter does not. We assume light has a single source, omitting the possibility that light is unseen matter.

We forget that light itself is dark matter and dark energy. We turn the world inside out and expect to understand it. What we fail to realize is that we are the past, the present, and the future. All time is frozen, period. We are light within time. We experience gas, liquid, solid, but we are none of these. We are light that shines on these states of form. We are constant light.
