Health and Fitness The work being done on light in theology as reflected in the Bible and Judaeo Christian tradition, philosophy, physics, medicine and near-death experiences is directing us to a revolutionary breakthrough in terms of a new model - a new approach to reality. Progress in all of these areas of human curiosity is being driven by brilliant and original insights into the very nature of the foundational stuff of the universe - light - an elusive, pervasive, something or someone!
This new approach to reality sees the Mind -Body - Spirit connection as an essential insight if we are to even begin to comprehend the inner and outer worlds that together reveal to us what exists - what is truly real.
After more than two decades of reading other’s works, my own experiences, and pondering, I came to the conclusion that it made sense to use the Mind - Body - Spirit connection as the basic framework for presenting the human experience of light in the Bible and Judaeo Christian tradition, philosophy, physics, medicine, and near-death experiences. Light is the ultimate stuff of all that exists as both a something and a someone, calling each of us into life.
If light is indeed the foundational, basic stuff of all that exists then it is easy to understand why light based medical technologies and medications are the most effective and the non-invasive form of medicine practiced in the early twenty-first century. They are utilizing the basic constituent element of the universe - light - in one or another of its many forms.
Long before I was involved in a serious study of the phenomenon of light, I recognized in myself an intense sensitivity to light in all its forms. From my recollection of the early years of my life, my sleep patterns have always been highly affected by light. Even if I had been sleeping for eight hours or so before the time of my rising, if the rising time was prior to natural daylight I found it very difficult to get out of bed and still do. As I am aging into my mid-seventies my body clock winds down sooner at the end of natural daylight but awakens as soon as natural daylight comes streaming into my bedroom window.
I have always wanted to be in natural daylight as much as possible during the day either outdoors, or if indoors, working by a window with abundant natural light. My career as a public school teacher, principal, and college professor found me maximizing natural light in my classrooms and requesting office space with abundant windows as sources of natural light. I seldom turned on the artificial lights, which were either incandescent or limited spectrum florescent, until forced to do so by natural darkness when my work schedule kept me there past the end of daylight. I have always felt good in the light. It has been a lifelong medicine for me.

Computer and Technology Rugged laptops and rugged notebooks, sometimes referred to as mobile computers, are used in a variety of settings, such as mounted on vehicles, like jeeps or carts for businesses or warehouse uses. There are many applications for the rugged laptops and rugged notebook computers. These computers are made rugged to withstand the punishment that can go along with being mounted on a vehicle or heavy construction equipment in a construction zone. They are made of durable plastic or sometimes covered in a rubber coating that will take a beating and keep on going.
These rugged laptops and rugged notebooks are built to take extremes such as heat, wind, vibrations, dust, water, cold and other elements a normal computer would not be able to withstand.
You can purchase a rugged laptop or a rugged notebook with an outdoor readable LCD which means the screen is readable outdoors in the sunlight, which many laptops and notebooks of regular built are not, you have to purchase an additional sun-blocker type screen to put over the initial screen and that only block some of the suns UV rays. With the outdoor readable LCD screens, there is no more squinting or moving from place to place to find a good spot to read what’s on the screen because everywhere you are sitting is a good spot for these screens.
Another feature of the rugged laptops and rugged notebooks is the touch screen which enables the user to touch the screen when they want to switch between screens or use it as an adding machine in the case of a warehouse worker adding up inventory. A touch screen allows the user to bring up multiple screens to view products in inventory or delayed shipments or a host of other things that might be backlogging the warehouse and the sales floor. A touchscreen will save space because a keypad is not necessary and a keyboard is something that will ultimately get in the way of a rugged laptop or rugged notebook and they always get dirt and other debris caught between the keys, this way a touchscreen keeps everything neat and tidy and all in one place.

Finance In this world where our needs change and rapidly expand every day, guaranteed online personal loans can prove to be just the answer for most people - stay-at-home mothers who suddenly come face to face with a domestic emergency (most probably involving medical care for their children) with no income to pay the expenses, college students who run out of their allowance days or weeks before the next one comes in, lessees who desperately need to make deposits before the bank raises the mortgage, and regular employees who have spent their earnings and are now broke until the next paycheck.
Guaranteed online personal loans are also called as payday loans or bad credit loans. This type of loan permits you to get money, in the form of cash, without the need to support or establish your income stream capability at the onset of the application process. This type of loan generally works to the advantage of borrowers.
Although proof of a steady income is not normally required during application, it helps to have a good credit reputation; some companies require good credit rating to be able to qualify for a loan. Common requirements also include age (you must at least be 18 years old), residency (you must be a resident of the United States), and working checking accounts (you must have one because lenders usually prefer to be paid through direct deposits). But, even with a good credit rating, you might still be turned down for this type of loan. This happens when the lender receives a large number of applications and is forced to accommodate only some.
However, as with all other schemes that seem too good to be true, guaranteed online personal loans also have their disadvantages. These disadvantages can be made known to interested borrowers through careful attention and study of the payment plans of the company from which they wish to borrow cash. There are risks involved in this kind of financial policy, and to get the most out of the easy benefits, you should prepare for strategies that will enable you to avoid debt and, consequently, bad credit reputation.

Health and Fitness Western medicine plays a significant role today. Their diagnostics and surgical procedures are world class and there are many doctors today tending towards recommending healthy alternative therapies. However, the tradition of prescribing medications that are heavily marketed by the multinational drug Corporations and the societal side effects have to be addressed.
These drugs have power over us. They corner us and make us feel small. We turn to the western model for help when we are trying to seek balance and their medicinal options make us become needy and weak. They do not arm us with the tools necessary to face this world and our role in it. All purpose is lost when all we are doing is surviving by synthetically detaching. There is a general belief when seeking this help that the antidepressants and painkillers prescribed are the doorway to doing the right thing for your life, ‘taking control’. Western pharmaceuticals are the Backdoor OUT of people’s lives and people are taking them because they want to feel better. How can you feel better when you have no control over yourself? When something external is dictating whether you will experience happiness today?
The next step down from legal drug users are those who choose to self medicate with illegal substances. The people who take these are frowned upon because it’s illegal. These substances can be more powerful and potentially more dangerous but ultimately are a solution to the same problem, our society is desperately unhappy! Our society has become segregated, disconnected and impatient with a constant undertone of incredible fear. Fear of living. Fear of dying. Fear of loving. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of getting it right!
There is no sense of community any more. People believe that they have to ‘be strong’ and do it on their own. It’s bullshit because they are not doing it on their own, they are using external substances to support themselves: legal or illegal is not even relevant. Everyone just wants their problems fixed today and no one wants to have to fight for their own wellness and balance. If someone else fixes it, people don’t ever really have to own how they got there in the first place, and look at how much of it they created themselves.
The human qualities that have been lost in this system are connection, trust, kindness, patience, persistence and commitment. How can you develop connection with your doctor when the outcome of the appointment is you being handed something that helps you to avoid addressing anything (whilst creating another problem entirely)? How can we develop trust with our community when a major side effect of drug taking is paranoia, and to support ever growing habits, deceit must be used? How can we be kind to others when we are not being kind to ourselves? What will teach us patience when our society celebrates the quick fix? How will we develop persistence when the core of the ‘quick fix’ is to give up? Where in our lives will we demonstrate commitment when this system is about avoiding it?
