Magic Minute #5: Nature is cruel love

So we’re looking at the two sorts of energy, both of which, when all the bits and bobs, surface accoutrements, distractions and detours, are stripped away, are best understood as Love, because they are life, and if life isn’t love … Continue reading

Magic Minute #4: Energy is Love

Well, not all energy of course. The electricity companies would be fascinated to hear they are generating and trading love. In a way they are, because there is a way in which we can see all and every damn thing … Continue reading

The Wisdom of Home

This is a theme that pops up in the book right at the beginning. Always useful to look at the origins of words and how their meanings truly resonate. Eco, or in the Greek (where are the Greek characters?)οἶκος, means … Continue reading

The Blackboard Blog #5: Build a fire inside, solve your own energy crisis

War, Nature, Peace, Power
