HJ: Sometimes it’s not about creating happiness, it’s really just about removing everything that’s blocking our natural, organic happiness shinning from within.  Often times we already have what we seek but because we are looking outside of us for it, we miss the fact that it already exists within us.

The Costa Rican Electricity Institute announced this week that the country has been using nothing but renewable energy for the past 75 days. For an area this large to go this long running on strictly renewable energy is truly unprecedented, although Costa Rica is a small country.

This year, Costa Rica saw heavy rainfalls, which were harnessed by a number of hydroelectric plants that have been built in the country. According the government agency, there have been no fossil fuels used to generate electricity since December of last year.

In addition to the hydroelectric plants, the country also has a number of geothermal energy sites, which account for 10% of the region’s energy reserves. New geothermal projects are expected to develop in the coming year as well.

I’ve been saying for a while that I think music is one of the most spiritual things we can do, and I’ll always stand by that opinion.

I have people like the Marley family to thank for this profound realization, and through their music, they’ve helped me see that we can use this incredible medium to connect with a higher aspect of our consciousness.

Music has been called ‘the language of God’ or ‘the language of the soul’, and for good reason. If consistently practiced for the right reasons, it can connect us with the Supreme in a way that nothing except meditation can help us achieve.

While “Back To The Future” may have been the trigger for many people’s dreams of owning a flying car, the idea has actually been floating around the minds of man since not long after cars became widely available at the beginning of the 20^th century. Designs for such vehicles began appearing as early as 1923, albeit they weren’t predicted to hit the roads until the ‘70s. Henry Ford even warned that a hybrid airplane and car was coming back in 1940. And even though we have been teased over and over again with prototypes and promises (thank you Terrafugia for repeatedly getting our hopes up), flying cars are still not a reality for consumers.

But excitement was renewed once again last year when Slovakian company AeroMobil tantalized us with their prototype car/plane hybrid, the AeroMobil 3.0, which was unveiled at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna...
