Super Awesome

This is my list of Super Awesome stuff. The things I post on this list will range from products to services to ideas, etc. If it's on this list, I recommend you check it out. Let's start with these:

* Super Adobe- method of building developed by architect Nadir Kahlili at CalEarth Institute of Earth Art and Architecture (in Hesperia, CA). I have done an apprenticeship there and this method is amazing. In fact, NASA adopted it as the method to be used if and when they build on the moon or other planets. He wanted to find a method of building that would transform the world in a way that any person could simply and affordably have safe, comfortable housing. The method is so simple that it can be taught to a child. Basically, the only materials required are sandbag tubing and barbed wire. A few other tools (that can be rigged from various things depending on what is available) are helpful, but there isn't a place in the world (where people live) that couldn't adopt this method effectively even in the poorest of circumstances. Check out www.calearth.org. Watch the Eco-dome trailer and if you're as inspired as I am by it, make plans to visit CalEarth. At the very least, donate-- they are a non-profit and they do a lot of good.
* Aquaponics- a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. You can get very high yields of food in a small space with just 6 hours of sunlight as long as you keep the system from freezing (which can be done with a very minimal greenhouse structure). I believe that this is going to be a very significant part of the future of food as long as we stop feeding (and paying) into the current food system (which robs us of our money, rights and health). Just YouTube "aquaponics". There are some pretty innovative people out there doing some cool stuff with it. The most awesome part is that you don't have to invest a lot of money to have one of these systems, they can be modified to fit your situation, and they are super low maintenance. Between super adobe and aquaponics, there is no excuse for world hunger and homelessness.
* Energy Profiling- a system of personality (well, kinda) profiling developed by Carol Tuttle. She is the author of "Remembering Wholeness", "It's Just My Nature", and "The Child Whisperer", and a certified energy therapist. She has a lot of amazing products, many of which are online, and her system of profiling will help you understand yourself and your loved ones on a deeper and more effective level. I have personally had so much change in my life since I read "Remembering Wholeness" five months ago and discovered the world of Carol Tuttle. Energy medicine is the future of medicine, especially in the field of psychology and psychiatry, although it extends to other aspects of health. If energy therapy sounds bizarre to you, I recommend starting by just checking out her most recent book, "The Child Whisperer". If you are just curious and not afraid of the world of energy medicine (it isn't what you think), then I recommend reading "Remembering Wholeness". This is highly transformative information, so if you think you're life doesn't need a "stir" it may not be right for you at this time. I am confident that those who need this information and are open to it, will look into it. I won't push anyone because I refuse to put my "pearls before swine" (hey, I love pigs too, so don't take offense).
* The Gentle Revolution- a movement to change the way children are educated based on the studies of Glenn Doman and the researchers at The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. They have worked for over half a century to learn about the human brain and development. Their work is not as well known as it should be, but the implications are huge and powerful if you implement them. I am sad to admit that I did not apply what I learned from "How To Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence" (by Glenn Doman) with my oldest children, but I am committed to utilize it with my third and any that follow. If all the parents that just read my blog became part of The Gentle Revolution, this world would transform enormously in a few short years. I don't understand the agenda that has worked to keep this information from spreading like wildfire, but it is, well-- evil. If you would like to continue to perpetuate modern day Western world "childhood" way beyond an appropriate timeline, then you can ignore this awesome stuff. BUT, if you are like me and feel that children have amazing potential, even at birth, then I highly recommend looking into this information further. Beware of skeptics, they keep our world "small" and inhibited.
Well, I'm going to start with this. I have discovered many other Super Awesome things in my life that I will share later as I hope you will share the awesome things you know about. I would like to thank the following people:
My parents- they are awesome people. I could go on, but, at the moment, I'd like to specifically thank my father for introducing me to Super Adobe building and to both parents for watching my kids while my husband was away with military training so I could go do an apprenticeship at CalEarth.
My mother-in-law, Sue- for being an awesome person and introducing me to the Institutes and lending me her cherished copy of "How To Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence", as well as many other materials to use in teaching my children.
My cousin, Yvonne- for visiting me after I had my third baby and giving me her copy of "Remembering Wholeness" which has changed my life. Thank you, Yvonne, as well for being such an awesome support through a very difficult time in my life.
There are numerous other people to thank, but I'd like to keep this post within a person's ability to read in one sitting.
