About Me
SUMER TARA BLUE LOTUS SATI Goddess of the Waters of Life - Pan Agaea or Mu Instead of my background, my past - I prefer to speak about my vision my mission for PEACE. Twenty years ago I developed a blue print for a healing-community centre that exchanged arts, culture (including music and dance) and learning combined with spiritual values and especially that of sacred feminine or - 'Mother cultures'. People visited my centre from near and far. Some were priests of Christian, Buddhist, Sufi and Jewish faiths. Many were Spiritual Practitioners - Yogi or Master-teachers of Hindu or Shamanic teachers, practitioners and elders. Even more were on the ascension or New Age circuit of mystic knowledge and realization. I even had a visit from Alien investigators who featured their crystal skulls and artefacts of 'out there' intelligence. The bottom line was that this centre was an inter-faith place of sharing - knowlege, learning and practise. The strength was toward Mother Earth and MUSE activity. For this reason we provided healing services - sound, crystals, alternate medicines, shamanic etc. These types of centres are all so common these days. Yet this centre was not the essence of my vision. It was more a means of how culture could come together and harmonise and various people could benefit - from old traditions and new technology and learning. As a result of this initial seeding and after receiving a spiritual call I set out into the world in 1996 gathering the medicines - tools, skills and knowledge for a peace bundle. I walked with those of various cultures, extended my academic research and learning and honed my business skills to develop a sustainable business model that might support the vision. After working in third world, conflict zones and with disadvantaged local communities I came to address how that original 'love and light' model might be integrated with the grit - the harsh reality of societies. I continued my research and work with sustainable development, poverty alleviation and human social justice - into environmental sustainability. In 2002 I met up with Spiritual Leaders, Elders and Peoples from international cultures at World Peace and Prayer Day and presented my 'Peace' model as an international network context. I was happy to discover that some of these tribes or cultures had already formed a component of the vision - individual Peace Institute - that was aligned to their respective heritage - I call blue print cultures. Many held the part - while I held a global strategy, infrastructure and network plan with sustainable profit funding venture. Over the years that followed we collaborated and shared. I wondered why we found it so difficult to set this up. This peace model required cooperation and mutual support. I was clairvoyantly early with my vision. I continued to research and build knowledge required for this formation. I had managed and implemented world projects before successfully. Yet there was much to learn in social cultural anomaly. I wanted to take survivor culture knowledge - like that of Tibet and that of leading experts in ethno botanicals, justice, resilience etc and bring it into a knowledge community that exists in the physical and also in virtual space. I visited cultures and planned a PHD toward this activity. The intention was to research and integrate model legitimacy so it could serve a societal purpose and not simply be the single desire of one impelled by duty to Mother Earth, cosmos and compassion. Now I come to the MOU of physically setting up Gaia Life Peace Way Institute. I continue to engage networks with those in all walks of life who are interested in PEACE - in preserving and sharing the values of blue print culture, arts, environment and spiritual values of any faith. Philanthropy into local community to provide support to those in need, to educate, health and right living, human rights. This 'survivor' model can assist rebuilding wounded communities - or supporting mature established communities who now face high risk from natural disaster. I have joined TED in the hope of continuing to meet and network those who desire higher conscious living. We have an international collective and interest. Gaia Way can mutually support others' sustainable and worthwhile projects and NGOs where needed. I hope the thesis and research with the experiences learned in the least will contribute toward establishing a better way for life in sustainable harmony with all species.

More About Me
I'm passionate about
Life - and living my truth to the best of my conscious ability.
An idea worth spreading
'We are the children of the waters of life' - Aesus Mu - from the well of Mother sprung forth. Our composition is mostly water. Our home is mostly water - below Earth surface are greater oceans than above. All our creation as we know it comes from this source that seeded such diverse and complex variations - yet all in one simple cycle of mortality find resting again in the womb of our mother - the soils of the sacred mountain we return to - our dew drops evaporate into collective atmosphere - only to return again in new rain. We cannot escape who or what we are - collectively small part of the whole - our governing organism Earth feeds us and we feed her other life forms.

A reply on Conversation: Nuclear Energy is threat to life. Nuclear clean energy is a spin doctored myth that ignores the huge footprint of nuclear waste clean up
China is a great concern with the number of earthquakes in the region. Fossil fuel continues to boom.
A comment on Conversation: Nuclear Energy is threat to life. Nuclear clean energy is a spin doctored myth that ignores the huge footprint of nuclear waste clean up
Microbes Generate Electricity While Cleaning Up Nuclear Waste -
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110906144558.htm
And here's another to clean up Nuclear contamination in water - Nanofibres - 1 gram to 1 tonne of water.
Professor Zhu and ANSTO - like the dumb psychic also states 'we need to solve
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111102093051.htm
"Even if we decide that nuclear energy is not the way we want to go, we will still need to clean-up what's been produced so far and store it safely,"
What do you think about this? Can it be funded and developed quickly? How far away are these solutions from being applied in real situation? Could that be one of the reasons Barack Obama decided not to bury waste in a big hole in Yucca Mountain volcanic crater and keep it temporarily stored at US plants?
Can these solutions suffice to clean up existing waste - stored in underground and deep sea caverns?
Of the 12 countries involved in producing 4th gen nuclear reactors - most won't be deployed until 2025. The first planned for next year. It will take many more years to decommission and replace all existing reactors. Several United Nations reports have predicted that the increase of natural disasters will ensure forced displacement of populations in all countries around the world to the extent of 250 million by 2025 - the Darfur displacement crisis comprises 4 million today - how can we minimise the risk to citizens in these critical decades - so that we have 1) prevention 2) protection and 3) clean-up as a readiness focus? What steps can we take to deploy 'civil defence' for natural disasters impacting nuclear disasters?
These are the debates I believe we should be putting our time and energy into - not whether it is green or not. It won't be green until it is. Until then...

There are over 1000 thousand known bodies in the immediate radius of the power plant that are unable to be recovered due to the extent of radioactive contamination. Due to the high risk there currently no means of doing a full body count.
In the 20 kilometer radius 70,000 have been evacuated. And a further 60,000 in the 30 kilometer radius. As you will be aware the extent of radiation poisoning and fatalities will not be quantifiable. So we are talking about an impact larger than Horishima. Impacts beyond the immediate zone have not been fully assessed and published. It is also not in Japanese interest to incite public panic. People as far as Tokyo are reporting and presenting with thyroid and other symptoms. Fatality count at this point remains unknown. As with Horishima - the real damage cannot be quantified for generations. Genetic damage and mutations being the greatest and long lasting.
I so feel for them. Double strike. Two days ago a Japanese citizen told me there was a politician who wanted to close the plants down before the earthquake because he had reports that they were unsafe - mostly 2nd but some 3rd gen - but he was ousted and they stayed. This is another example where commercial gain overrode duty for public safety.
Out of respect for the grief of Japan - it is a difficult matter to be too explicit - however I feel transparency in solutions by debate could and will help them also.
I am concerned that we do not allow this practise to continue - and ensure correct action for survival preparation is taken - beyond storing iodine tablets.

Just because you are not functioning on higher consciousness - doesn't mean I cannot utilise science AND be super natural in my sentience. Just because I don't speak with your rhetoric doesn't mean I don't hold the intelligence. I have that IQ also recorded as 'fact' from childhood.
But in your world psychics are just 'stupid' people who make up stories with no real facts and have no intelligence. Go ahead kill yourselves and all life - then you can present the facts on it. Lets talk science and physics. What do you think about radiation patterning?

My statement is that nuclear waste is not safe until there is a safe method to degrade or permanently dispose.
I do actually have scientific basis - but I didn't think it was necessary to write a thesis - I thought people in this forum would know the difference - but its obvious the topic is just so emotive that people revert to childhood.
I am simply stating that your argument above much as I respect and agree with your words - STILL DOES NOT DISPUTE THE FACT THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO METHOD FOR SAFELY DEGRADING OR PERMANENTLY DISPOSING OF NUCLEAR WASTE.
I do risk management - I look at the impacts on people - the risks highlighted by insurance companies and those who don't want the information published.
In a risk management life cycle - something isn't safe until it is completely checked off at milestones and validation points - consider the V method test matrix. If you can't validate then ISO IEEE standards (and I do not list the Nuclear standards but they have been developed and challenged for the same reason) are it is not safe. I've also worked on many government mission and safety critical projects where public exposure is involved - I know how to risk manage for projects like this. I really am not just an airhead who thinks a nuclear power plant is a bomb. But a nuclear power plant IS a bomb.
Statements like cars are dirty and planes drop from the sky. When you analyse risk you establish a matrix. You look at not just the severity of the risk (of which Nuclear is Code Red or A1 critical) you look at the frequency of it occurring. Sometimes extreme destruction risks (e.g. an asteroid hitting California) are so remote in occurrence that they receive a low rating. But nuclear power plants are not in the same category of remote occurrence - they have a high rate of failure through historic stats.
Lets 'face the facts' work on solution

Why? Go to any nuclear physicists forum and ask them if there is currently of cleaning up nuclear waste. You will get what you call facts - which are really the opinions and findings of scientists and physicists. You are simply behaving with an angry little chip on your shoulder against a woman. A woman obviously doesn't and wouldn't know anything would she? But you would - you would know all the facts - so many you don't list any. Because the facts - ie. the scientific evidence - supports my statement - No one has published any kind of method or way of cleaning up nuclear waste. If you think you know the answer - then give it to me -we can start discussing it at a deeper level in physics.
Instead of making little kid statements like 'you are a liar - lliar liar your pants are on fire'. Grow up. If you know so many facts then lets have a real discussion about nuclear physics - lets brainstorm some solutions. I'd really like that and its positive more productive.
You know nothing of my scientific knowledge, education or research sources. You just know your own opinions and you want to put down anyone that doesn't agree by saying they don't know what they are talking about. So lets talk physics theory.
What kind of conduction equation might be considered?

More comments I can further my knowledge with. That LED transmission is fascinating. How does it impact with line of sight, transmission etc. I'll have to read up more.
I'm also looking for that TED talk where the person apparently uses a film or something on the external of a building in a form that extends or relates solar energy. I was told about it by another Teddy - but I can't find it.
I too think the answer for degrading (or cleaning up) nuclear waste may also have links to altering light wave frequency perhaps through a conduction medium. LED has modelling patterns for radiation alteration and relies on heat sink cooling conduction - sometimes cold plate. As most know nuclear power plants also use cold plate or water coolant.
Permaculture - has really been gaining popularity in sustainable cityscapes - where space is impacted. I believe also mushroom intelligence is a vital significant in the ethno-botanics.

I neither 'mind' whether you agree or disagree with my statements - that is the choice of free will which I respect greatly. Yet I find that people do not get their truth across realistically when they make dramatic statements as you have done. First you incorrectly state that I accuse anyone who disagrees with me of having a low IQ. In fact I state the opposite. But you on the other hand attack me as irrational and idiotic - so you become what you project onto another person.
That is why I tell you to breathe - because metaphysical experience tells me that when people project anger and nastiness at others - it is because they feel threatened and self loathsome. It is me you are attacking - not addressing the issue. This shows up to many as immature - even if you are not and have something valid to say. I'm happy if you state valid reasons for nuclear energy to be perfect and safe for everyone. Its the best news I could have! I'm waiting for that breakthrough - that clean-up. Unfortunately spirit tells me you are more seeking to attack the person you do not know because you are so angry inside.
I was once on my way to Bangkok airport to fly to South Thailand. On the way I breathed into something that had been brewing in my consciousness - and decided instead to fly to the north of Thailand. While there I read the newspaper report and was sad that the plane I would have been on had crashed - killing most. I had a similar experience when leaving Sumatra. I was going to fly. Instead that morning I rang the Senator and the Govenor and advised I was going by boat to Penang for other reasons. Really it was just intuition. In Penang again I read the news headlines - the plane had 'fallen out of the sky' (just as you say) and sadly, all were killed including the Governor.
Never take plane flights lightly
A comment on Conversation: Would you support the US government if it decided to take over the world?
There are pros and cons for this - also depending on who is in leadership at the time and their impact on the rest of the world in that role.
The one key benefit is that it is a 'benign' hegemony in the sense of an alternative such as the 1000 year plan conspired by Hitler.
Perhaps what may really be asked is should we look at restructuring the United Nations to hold some form of global government - autonomous authority at global level - over and above a state regime. UN is the hallmark of realist school (e.g.Hedley Bull arguments on realist position that anarchy and war are necessary states to then bring order through state rule). UN is considered deficit as a true global peace function. Most agree the current hegemonic format of G5 security council who can veto anything (led by US) misses out in true democracy and human rights.
Brian Urquhart who grew with UN since its formation as a war alliance has a lot to say about its failures in peace and security matters and need for serious restructure. But he highlights a key observation - that to set up a global governance body like the UN today with all our issues would be virtually impossible. While the UN shoes may no longer fit, we are lucky to have a blue print - and a blue print that arose as a necessary agreement to protect from a world threat to peace.
We have become a global society and one government rule doesn't fit democratically (apart from one that holds no military might such as Phillips NZ suggestion - I propose also Tibetan government in exile - perhaps we could rotate world leading 'chair'). We have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the blue print for peace and democracy.
At international level we can respect individual rights by strengthening autonomy and power of intl legal justice to make peace security decisions and enforce accountability
A reply on Conversation: Would you support the US government if it decided to take over the world?
But the reality is that the benefits of geographic isolation were soon overwhelmed by the global footprint of other countries and climate change beyond her control. As member of UN and democratic first world, New Zealand was "allowed" to do many things as any ant easily stepped on. As long as she didn't get too carried away and left her battles to the sports ground.
That is she was 'allowed' to disband her army and reform it as a peace corp. This was not a display of non loyalty to democratic trade partners and alliances - in the past the small army support presented alongside others in the fight for democracy and to protect fellow man under threat - along side their friendly rival counterparts. And due to their smallness and tightness New Zealanders were better formed and operated as a 'crack team' of specialists. But then 911 happened and New Zealand didn't want to invade Iraq - wanted to stay with the 'peace keeper' role but was told she would be branded terrorist if she didn't.
New Zealand protested against nuclear threat from allied tests Muraroa - destabilising the pacific rim & plates. But Rainbow Warrior was blown up as a grim warning to toe the line.
As other nations sailed into her waters, harpooned and fished her seas - NZ didn't have much defence. Then the crunch came - she had to reform her futile army and purchase a bunch of second hand rusty warships that allied partners wanted to sell - or trade relations would be of the past
