Title change - The Big Bang: Notes from Looking Within is now The Little Universe

Yes, they are the same book. I should have realized The Little Universe was a better title much sooner. The name change was inevitable. The Big Bang was hardly original (and I knew that) with dozens of astronomy books under the same title. Then there's the tv show Big Bang Theory, the Rolling Stones album, so many things. Then there was the fear factor that some readers would have on first glance, perhaps a fear of a sciency book that they wouldn't like. No, The Little Universe just says it all so much better and with great paradox. Now available on Kindle at Amazon or through my website or Smashwords.com for any e-format like Nook or Sony Reader, iphones, etc.

 

The Little Universe is The Big Bang: Notes from Looking Within. Same book, new title.

 

Please remember, Jim's Life, the sequel is also available at my website, at Amazon Kindle and at Smashwords.com for any e-format.

 

The Greatest Good is like water... Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

The greatest good is like water

which benefits all life without trying to

It resides in the purest mountain snows

and dwells in the lowest of places

Thus it is like the Tao.

-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

from wikipedia;
Lao Tzu, aka Laozi and many others, was a philosopher of ancient China and is a central figure in Taoism or Daoism. Lao Tzu literally means "Old Master." He is revered simply as a wise man in philosophical forms of Taoism, but revered as a god in religious forms, much like The Buddha is regarded differently by the religious and philosophical schools of Buddhism. According to Chinese tradition, Lao Tzu lived in the 6th century BC and is traditionally regarded as the author of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching), though its authorship has been debated throughout history.
The above is my own translation of his teaching on water being the greatest good. No, I don't speak any form of Chinese, but from going over many other different interpretations, I believe this is what Lao Tzu was saying;
that we all should strive to be ourselves, without ego getting in the way, to mix among all walks of life both rich and poor, both good and bad (whatever that means) and in between. And that by truly being ourselves, we'll actually be helping everyone around us without even trying (sort of like Forrest Gump.) Perhaps by losing the ego and letting go, we'll allow Spirit to work through us, thus being like the Tao or The Way.

I also believe if you read between the lines in the teachings of Jesus Christ, you'll find a lot of similar themes. Some scholars argue that Jesus appears to have studied Buddhism during his "missing years" between the ages of 20 and 30. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Jesse Ventura Exposes HAARP

I had the pleasure of watching former Governer of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, take on a little known yet highly controversial topic on Tru TV last night - HAARP. High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program is a military complex way the heck out in (nowheresville) Gakona, Alaska that has 180 antennas and emits crazy amounts of kilowatts into the ionosphere. It can be directed like a beam to super heat sections of the atmosphere as far as 40 to 60 miles about the surface of the Earth. I originally wrote a blog post about this HAARP thing back in Oct 2008, and I realize my own need to learn more about it.

The program is run by the military. They claim it's a harmless weather experimentation device that will better help us understand our ionosphere along with helping satellite communications and finding things like hostile submarines and such. Critics of the program point out that the military is not known for running harmless programs and that they're not being forthright with the full potentials and problems that HAARP may cause.

The concept for the ionosphere heater was originally thought of by Nikola Tesla, an inventor and electrical engineer who lived about 100 years ago in Austria. Though an extraodinary genius far beyond his time, comparable to Einstein, Tesla was also regarded as a mad scientist. One of his inventions, the teleforce or death ray weapon, attests to his mental state. Exactly when, how and why the scientists put together the work of Tesla and HAARP still appears to be something of a mystery, one of which the military is not openly discussing. At least people like Jesse Ventura are finally starting to ask hard questions - like what can this thing really do and shouldn't we all know about it?

What do you think about HAARP? I persoanlly don't know much about it, and I admit that, but I also sense there is something seriously concerning that makes me what to know its exact purposes and potentials. There's a book called, Angels Don't Play This HAARP; Advances in Tesla Technology by Jeanne Manning for those (including me) who'd like to learn more.
