Professor emeritus in the physics department of the Univer Dr. Amit Goswam idiscussed a plan of action that involves applying "quantum thinking" to a variety of societal issues. In the new way of looking at science, we say that consciousness is the ground of all being, rather than matter, he noted, adding that "you've got to wake up to quantum physics because it is connected with your everyday aspirations, everyday happiness."

Goswami has put forward the idea of "quantum activism," a kind of manifesto for changing oneself and the world, based on the power of consciousness. He listed three components to personal transformation-- right thinking (getting away from a materialist world view, and recognizing the primacy of consciousness), right living (learning to relax within activities, and focus on being open to possibilities), and right livelihood (finding an occupation that has meaning built into it, and allows for spare time).

Discontinuity, change, and even catastrophe are how we discover new meaning, which can lead to creative evolution and quantum leaps, he suggested. Negativity, which is sometimes bred into our way of thinking, takes us away from wholeness, he observed. Interestingly, Goswami called the CERN/Hadron Collider project (to discover the so-called God Particle) an expensive "boondoggle." No one doubts that this particle exists, and its finding has no relevance in the way we should live, he commented.king" to a variety of societal issues.

The Act

The most revolutionary act one can commit in our world is to be happy.... patch adams

Life....

You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret.

Hoe true is this?

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
  - George Bernard Shaw

funny quote for today

If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
  - George Burns

Happiness

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.

Making your lunch can make your mortgage payment

I won’t bore you with a detailed breakdown of mathematical wizardry — the spreadsheet below, based on a 241-day work year, summarizes it. (241 days being what’s left once we subtract weekends, two weeks’ vacation, and statutory holidays from 365.) Let’s have a look:

	Morning coffee, Tim Horton’s	Bologna and cheese sandwich plus small side salad	Afternoon coffee, Tim Horton’s	Snack	Total
Cost per day	$1.50	$8	$1.50	$2	$13
Cost per month	$33	$176	$33	$44	$286
Cost per year	$361.50	$1,928	$361.50	$482	$3,133

Adjust for your own preferences, but the prices above are based on a typical day’s purchases.

Now let’s look at the cost to brown-bag the same food:

	Coffee beans, unground	Whole wheat bread	Meat, veggies, sandwich stuffing	Cookies/fruit	Total
Cost per day	$0.47	$0.37	$4.76	$0.80	$6.41
Cost per month	$9.95	$7.85	$100.00	$16.80	$134.60
Cost per year	$119.40	$90.07	$1,147.62	$192.80	$1,549.89

Doing the math for your own lunch gets a little more complicated. Let’s say a big cup of coffee weighs in at 10 grams of ground beans. You’ve got 454 grams in a pound of coffee, so there’s a cup a day for 45 days. Divide in half and you have a little more than two cups a day for the working month. Perfect
