If I am already Free, If there is no where to go, nothing to achieve, nothing to do, nothing to become, nothing more … then …. what is this growth, blossoming, expansion, evolution ? The interest in being more fizzles out with advaita teachings. I Surrender but Existence does not accept it ! What to do ? Cow of Ramana Lakshmi was Liberated but I feel sorry for it because it did not get a chance to experience the human existence. Is there a process of evolution from a mineral to plant to animal to human to devine, or it is just all unchanging awareness ?

The head of the International Atomic Watchdog is visiting Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant for the first time since March’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. Yukiya Amano has promised to help with the recovery effort and discussed what aid is needed at a meeting with the country’s Prime Minister. As well as killing thousands, the natural disasters caused the plant’s reactor cores to melt and leak dangerous amounts of radiation into the environment. But the IAEA chief says the workers at the plant ARE capable of bringing the leak under control by early next year as planned. Residents evacuated from a town close to the area held a belated memorial for the dead and missing on the irradiated no-man’s land. But even many of those who survived are struggling with their own nuclear nightmare. RT’s Sean Thomas explains. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com

Weight Loss on the Cambridge Weight Plan. – week 2 day 17 – update on weight loss and a look at cravings, and fat addiction. Research undertaken in 2010 shows cocane and heroin like addcition to fatty foods in rats. As far as I am concerned there is much scope to believe this is a physiological feasilbility in humans too. My own experience of additction to nictotine is every much as hard to overcome as heroin or cocaine has been for the many heroin and cociane users I ever counselled. The dopamine ( pleasure centres in the brain ) get used to the substance that gives it pleasure ie: cocaine, heroin or fatty foods and sweet tasting carbohydrates. This pleasure becomes harder to achieve on its own and as the article in the link states, we become more and more in need of the substance – drug / fatty food etc to feel the same pleasure, or even, feel ‘normal’. From what I understand as a previous drugs worker, is that the psychological addiction is the hardest to beat after the physiologocal detox from heroin for example. After that the use of will power, group therapy one to one counselling and other techniques help the recovering addict to veer away from the sources and associations he / she had to the drug and replace the drug with commnity based activities to aid re-integration into the community. All these things deal inherently with self esteem and the use of support groups, peer support and family help. The Cambridge Weight Plan offers these elements too in the forum …

motivationlifechange.com Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trials. Building effective relationships is a necessity for several reasons. For example in a group or organization, the well being of the people depends on how efficient and effective that group or organization works. The group or organization is also dependent on how the members work well with the management staff. So creating effective relationships has many unforeseen benefits to everyone involved An ineffective group or organization can really be very frustrating. An ineffective group or organization can also ask so much on their members, that sometimes the members would have no life outside the walls of the area where they work or sacrifice the other aspects of their life just to meet deadlines. For an organization or group with this kind of scenario, relationships can be stressed or suffer from breakdown. People or other entities that depend on these groups or organization also suffer. Society is defined as a web of relationships, which requires all parties to work and contribute their share in order to achieve a common goal.
