Achegas sobre consciência e energia monetária

Em Janeiro falámos de dinheiro, compras e consciência. Aqui o texto completo.

«Vives a energia monetária com consciência? Consciência precisa-se. A tua. A minha. Um novo quantum de potenciais de nova energia para gerar soluções diferentes e a reflectir o novo sentir. Será ao mudar individualmente a nossa forma de encarar a energia monetária, que se imprime e imprimirá um novo paradigma na consciência grupal e nacional. Será quando tudo o que forma e expressa a nossa vida quotidiana tiver essa consciência que espelha o centro do Ser e aí está o busílis da questão: és um consumidor consciente, aquilo que adquires – comida, roupas, cosmética, transporte, objectos domésticos, de entretenimento, de trabalho – reflecte uma energia de frequência elevada, limpa e transparente? Ou advém da densidade, do caos exterior, de abusos de uns a explorar outros lá nos confins do Terceiro Mundo para lucros de outros com ou sem compaixão, sem sustentabilidade de recursos e meios? Bem sei que é mais fácil não querer saber. Mas depois o que comes, o que vestes, o que usas tem impregnado essa energia baixinha e é veículo de perpetuar abusos, feedings, e velha energia. É o que está no teu campo electromagnético.
(...) Claro que qualidade energética não está ligada a preço alto, embora se verifique que produtos biológicos e “verdes”, de energias limpas, muitas vezes implicam na sua produção e distribuição custos mais elevados por o sistema estar dominado por grandes companhias monopolistas. Procura sentir a energia dos objectos que consomes e compras.»

Hoje, 12 de Março, surge a notícia de mais umas instalações de fábrica que ruíram no Bangladesh e provocaram a morte dos trabalhadores. Não é a primeira vez (aqui há c. 2 anos morreram centenas de trabalhadores num desmoronamento) e infelizmente não será a última. E surge o Bangladesh como poderia surgir outro país qualquer que não siga directrizes tendo em vista a segurança no trabalho mas apenas a busca do lucro fácil com a exploração de mão de obra ultra-barata.


Partilho este documentário que começa por ser reality show de 3 bloggers de moda noruegueses e que são levados ao Bangladesh para verem o sítio onde são produzidas as suas roupas. É experiência que acaba por ser muito elucidativa de todo o um sistema que faz as roupas chegarem ao Ocidente a preços razoáveis mas que aquele que os produz nem pode sonhar em adquirir com o seu salário.
A fábrica mostrada até não será das piores e podem achar que os jovens noruegueses no início parecem são fúteis e alheados da realidade, mas quantos jovens ocidentais vivem a sua vida privilegiada sem saberem o que se passa no resto do planeta ou ali mesmo ao lado, pois hoje há tantos registos de pobreza e difíceis condições de vida.

...
Uma respiração de cada vez.
Eles agora farão a diferença ao tornarem-se activistas. 
Tu podes fazer a diferença com as tuas escolhas e sensibilidade para com tudo o que te rodeia.
Já reparaste como a lei dos sacos plásticos nos supermercados está a mudar rotinas e até a valorização do dito saco pelo jeito que dá para guardar coisas, colocar o lixo, etc? novas aprendizagens no plano colectivo são possíveis.
Um passo de cada vez.

Scientists have discovered the brightest quasar in the early universe, powered by the most massive black hole yet known at that time. The international team led by astronomers from Peking University in China and from the University of Arizona announce their findings in the scientific journal Nature on Thursday.
The discovery of this quasar, named SDSS J0100+2802, marks an important step in understanding how quasars, the most powerful objects in the universe, have evolved from the earliest epoch, only 900 million years after the Big Bang, which is thought to have happened 13.7 billion years ago. The quasar, with its central black hole mass of 12 billion solar masses and the luminosity of 420 trillion suns, is at a distance of 12.8 billion light-years from Earth.
The discovery of this ultraluminous quasar also presents a major puzzle to the theory of black hole growth at early universe, according to Xiaohui Fan, Regents' Professor of Astronomy at the UA's Steward Observatory, who co-authored the study.
"How can a quasar so luminous, and a black hole so massive, form so early in the history of the universe, at an era soon after the earliest stars and galaxies have just emerged?" Fan said. "And what is the relationship between this monster black hole and its surrounding environment, including its host galaxy?
"This ultraluminous quasar with its supermassive black hole provides a unique laboratory to the study of the mass assembly and galaxy formation around the most massive black holes in the early universe."
The quasar dates from a time close to the end of an important cosmic event that astronomers referred to as the "epoch of reionization”: the cosmic dawn when light from the earliest generations of galaxies and quasars is thought to have ended the "cosmic dark ages" and transformed the universe into how we see it today.
Discovered in 1963, quasars are the most powerful objects beyond our Milky Way galaxy, beaming vast amounts of energy across space as the supermassive black hole in their center sucks in matter from its surroundings. Thanks to the new generation of digital sky surveys, astronomers have discovered more than 200,000 quasars, with ages ranging from 0.7 billion years after the Big Bang to today.
Shining with the equivalent of 420 trillion suns, the new quasar is seven times brighter than the most distant quasar known (which is 13 billion years away). It harbors a black hole with mass of 12 billion solar masses, proving it to be the most luminous quasar with the most massive black hole among all the known high redshift (very distant) quasars.
"By comparison, our own Milky Way galaxy has a black hole with a mass of only 4 million solar masses at its center; the black hole that powers this new quasar is 3,000 time heavier," Fan said.
Feige Wang, a doctoral student from Peking University who is supervised jointly by Fan and Xue-Bing Wu at Peking University, the study's lead author, initially spotted this quasar for further study.
"This quasar was first discovered by our 2.4-meter Lijiang Telescope in Yunnan, China, making it the only quasar ever discovered by a 2-meter telescope at such distance, and we're very proud of it," Wang said. "The ultraluminous nature of this quasar will allow us to make unprecedented measurements of the temperature, ionization state and metal content of the intergalactic medium at the epoch of reionization."
Following the initial discovery, two telescopes in southern Arizona did the heavy lifting in determining the distance and mass of the black hole: the 8.4-meter Large Binocular Telescope, or LBT, on Mount Graham and the 6.5-meter Multiple Mirror Telescope, or MMT, on Mount Hopkins. Additional observations with the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescope in Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, and the 8.2-meter Gemini North Telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, confirmed the results.
"This quasar is very unique," said Xue-Bing Wu, a professor of the Department of Astronomy, School of Physics at Peking University and the associate director of the Kavli Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics. "Just like the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe, its glowing light will help us to probe more about the early universe."
Wu leads a team that has developed a method to effectively select quasars in the distant universe based on optical and near-infrared photometric data, in particular using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Explorer, or WISE, satellite.
"This is a great accomplishment for the LBT," said Fan, who chairs the LBT Scientific Advisory Committee and also discovered the previous record holders for the most massive black hole in the early universe, about a fourth of the size of the newly discovered object. "The especially sensitive optical and infrared spectrographs of the LBT provided the early assessment of both the distance of the quasars and the mass of the black hole at the quasar's center." 
For Christian Veillet, director of the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory, or LBTO, this discovery demonstrates both the power of international collaborations and the benefit of using a variety of facilities spread throughout the world.
"This result is particularly gratifying for LBTO, which is well on its way to full nighttime operations," Veillet said. "While in this case the authors used two different instruments in series, one for visible light spectroscopy and one for near-infrared imaging, LBTO will soon offer a pair of instruments that can be used simultaneously, effectively doubling the number of observations possible in clear skies and ultimately creating even more exciting science."
To further unveil the nature of this remarkable quasar, and to shed light on the physical processes that led to the formation of the earliest supermassive black holes, the research team will carry out further investigations on this quasar with more international telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Telescope.
