still alive

There is a band that has infuenced my life to a great extent. I have listened to Pearl Jam since 1991, or may be 1992...only fifteen. They have been with me in my sorrow, in my despair, in the toughest moments of my life and now in joy, in peace with my self and other, in love and in enlightenment.

This video is just to show how transformation is always due. I can say a lot of things about knowing who you are in every moment, moment to moment, but I will leave to enjoy one of the greatest rock poetry of our time.

Zeitgeist

One can always doubt what seems the unbeliavable. However too many documentaries and too many smart men got involved in the debate of on world conspiracy theory.

Yesterday I was recomended an you tube full documentary footage - Zeitgeist.

I could see the reflection of my face while watching - mouth dropping, eye widenning in disbelief, tears running down my cheeks with every new comprehension. It was unbelievably sad and very very scary.

Here is the link to the movie. If it is still there:


I have began to think of different ways to promote freedom.
If you wish to discuss the movie with anybody, please feel free to get in touch.

You need 2hrs 3 minutes to watch and a life time to do something with your life. Hurry up.

Withholding

Being genuine and true to yourself have been concepts that I have become acquainted in recent years.
Genuine:
1. real: having the qualities or value claimed
a genuine Cézanne

2. sincerely felt: not affected or pretended
a look of genuine surprise

3. candid: honest and open in relationships with others
a very genuine person

4. pure bred: being of unmixed breeding
of genuine stock

I have recently become more aware of how this could lead to various complications if one is not fully aware of possible consequences. How easy is to be in touch with your own genuinity?
Is it something achievable, is it a goal or a life long experience, or just a positioning in relation to others or is how others see you or how you see yourself in others.

Thinking of genuinity led me to think about Withholding: "The source of guilt and hostility lies mainly on the "charge" or repressed, unfulfilled intentions, connected to misdeeds one commits or witnesses, and the withholding of the truths about these actions (or inactions) from oneself and others. Confronting these misdeeds and withholds, and regaining the ability to take responsibility and feel forgiveness, results in a major sense of reconciliation. In this section, viewers restore the integrity and personal power that has been inhibited by guilt, justification, blame, and the fear of harming others."

Is someone who is lacking self-awareness, is also being far from genuine?
Is someone who is striving towards self-awareness, being genuine?
What the hell is self-awareness then?

This has become a more serious post as I expected. I need to stop here.

images from the past

I have finally decided to get the pro flickr account. I am meeting myself again.
After my summer massive awakening(as if I have been in a coma) it is a very refreshing exercise to take a real look at myself. It definitely feels like I am looking at somebody elsebut I do recognise myself.

There is a strange sense of lost and found and forgotten but remembering. I am writing this to warn all of you, that life is short and we have little time to waste. The only advice I can give is be aware.

I feel it is important to be conscious of the past and in active preparation for the future - to build that bridge, you need material - get it from from anything that you have - photographs, diaries, videos, emails, memorabilia, ask your mother the circumstances of your birth and your conception (I did that last year), ask your grandparents how did they met, check with your friends. And then relate everything to the present - it is a sensational feeling of being and knowing who you are. ANd stay there. Be now.

I think many people get confused that being in the present, being in the moment is about forgetting about the past and not worrying about the future - well, it isn't. One is only capable of being in the here and now if you have full awarness about the past and you are fully anticipating the future.

I am off to a Biohazard concert tomorrow. I haven't listend to this band for more than 10 years. It is a bridge that I am trying to build.

Unfortunately my bridge across forever is currently off the table. But if the buddha dated I will start building it in the near future. Tune in to Darwin's Radio and remember catastrophe living.

New Green Era Continued...

Tomorrow I will wake up and 2008 would have gone indefinitely without me making it known that the cleaning industry had grown a bit bigger and I have contributed personally for that.

After 18 months of organisation and planning I finally managed to finalize the first printed marketing material for Ultimately eco. If you wish to have a sneaky look at the flyer at my new blog space ultimatelyeco

I will continue occasionally blog about stuff on my pearlkate blog
but mostly I am planning to "scribble" on ultimately ecological subjects!

See ya.

New Green Era

After managing to sell the idea about blogging to my beloved brother, I have realised what a fool I have been. Running a blog is not a simple task but a bit of routine can bring good ideas in the public domain and may be even inspire a few.

Last year I was very much into the Feta idea. I still think it is an excellent idea for a business, but... I came up with a better one.

Coming up with an idea from scratch is one thing - the feta stall for example, what happened last year is that I finally realised what I have had for more than 5 years right there in front of me is an excellent business platform.

I will save you from guessing - it is the cleaning business again. But now not just...

I wish I have continued to post on this blog right after I finally clicked. And to have kept it all along. Simply because if you are interested in the process not only the final result - you will find it amusing how from a Feta stall, Ekover Cleaning I found myself tinking of a big social networking site, where people buy and people sell. But they know each other - virtually. Then gradually I reduced it back to a one service - cleaning. Why? Because it is simple, but powerful. It was a personal conviction that was inspired by good logic, a Rutherford logic.

Since the launch of Green Shoots - an event that I help organising and I am really passionate about (see www.theglasshouse.net) in December 2007, I have come to realise the amazing time I am witnessing. A time that some call a Revolution and some a Renaissance. (as heard at the Green Salon talk last night, organised by Lucy Johnson).

For me it is a Renaissance, hence I decided to rename my company to UltimatelyEco.
What is your view - A revolution or a renaissance?
