At the end of our journeys, there would be an end to the journey. Maybe. If I was lucky. If providence shone down upon me gently. I would find love. I would find acceptance. Complete love. Complete acceptance. I would know, that the self, is an illusion. I would come to enlightenment, but that would also mean, there would be no ‘I’ there.

Thomas, like I was Thomas, and also doubting, the main reasons I’d chosen the name. If nothing else, it was lovable, just as it is. My life. Even the parts I didn’t love, could I love them? The struggles. It was all part of the journey, and would I not look back fondly on this, at some time? Look at how arduous and sincere I’d been. Look at how worried I’d been. Look at how insecure I’d been. Look at how I’d struggled. Trying to find my way. Would I not look back upon myself, affectionately and fondly and with love?

If we in the field of science are going to state that the origin of atomic nuclei can be traced back to the big bang we may as well go full circle already and state that the purpose of life is simply love.

There are people who can not see with their physical eyes, but they see through the mind.Such people can see the live and dead forms in all their colors, movements and strength.They surpass all boundaries, rules, space and time.They live in the eternity of the living energies that come from an empty and pure space, from which wonders occur. If these people could see with their physical eyes too‒they would have a divine nature...

The atmosphere may be where the weather lives, but it speaks to the ocean, the land, and sea ice on a regular basis. Consider them influential friends that are capable of forcing the atmosphere to behave in ways that are sometimes, as in the case of ENSO, predictable. The hope is that if scientists can untangle all the messy relationships at work within our climate system, we should be better able to keep people out of harm’s way. The farther we can extend human memory, the longer out in time a society can see, and the better prepared we’ll be for what’s in the pipeline.

complex interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere. Technically, El Niño (EN) describes the ocean component, whereas the atmospheric component is known as the Southern Oscillation (SO). That’s why climatologists generally refer to it as ENSO.

were compared with those occurring in the absence of WWEs. The focus is on the tropical Pacific because of our interest in the role(s) of equatorial WWEs in the onset and maintenance of ENSO warm SSTA. I argue that WWEs are a fundamental part of the appearance of warm

A month later reports from NOAA and NASA begin to waffle. Maybe not this year after all, they say. The trade winds reappear—fitfully at first and then a warm steady breath of restored momentum. The various climate indicators dip back into neutral territory, and warnings are called off. The scientists take all this in stride, it being part of their profession to understand that there is in fact no such thing as a classic harbinger. It is simply necessary to realign one’s conclusions with the latest data at hand. There is, I learn, already a name for the sort of ENSO head-fake we have just been subjected to. Scientists call it “La Nada.

Metaphysics includes studying the otherworldly, things that are behind or beyond our material world, beyond rules, beyond physical and traditional limitations. It is the domain that provides a bird’s-eye view for those who pursuit it. It is a clean, luminous, empty space that is, philosophically speaking, nothingness, but from which everything emerges. It is a space where miracles happen, even if we don’t believe. the book ENSO
