The name Abraham: meaning, origin and etymology באר בור ברר ברא ברה The small cluster of roots באר (b'r) and בור (bwr) and ברר (brr) are obviously related in form and meaning. For some curious reason, the root-verbs deal with either clearly declaring statements or else purifying items, while the derived nouns all have to do with water wells and pits and such. Scholars also identify two or three different root-verbs of the form ברא (br'), which seem to have nothing or very little to do with each other. It appears that the most basic idea that lies beneath all these verbal actions is a cutting, breaking or breaching, whether graving letters in stone, wells in the earth's surface, metals from ore, grain from stalks, the whole of creation in the expanse of nothingness, or a covenant between parties: באר The root-verb באר (ba'ar) "describes writing on tablets of stone made clear and distinct" (in the words of HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament). בור ברר The derivations of this verb are: ברא I ברא II ברה I ברה II
The Noosphere and the Internet The shaman seers of the Fourth World generally agree that those who tenaciously cling to the past will fall into mass insanity. The serpent power of the Aquarian Age is upon us. The Kundalini of Gaia is about to awaken. No one can avoid being affected. In 1938, a Jesuit priest wrote a book in which he postulated the existence of "a sphere of thought" enveloping the Earth. (2) This book, The Phenomenon of Man, wasn't published until the late 1950s, after its author, Teilhard de Chardin, had died. Teilhard believed that because of the spherical shape of the Earth, ideas will eventually encounter other ideas resulting in a cultural convergence of thought. As Sir Julian Huxley explained in his introduction to the first English translation of The Phenomenon of Man: [Teilhard was] deeply concerned with establishing a global unification of human awareness as a necessary prerequisite for any real future progress of mankind. Huxley goes on to say, What is the noosphere? What is the Noosphere?
The name Ishmael: meaning, origin and etymology The name Ishmael in the Bible There are a surprising six men named Ishmael in the Bible: The most famous Ishmael is the son of Abraham with Hagar. Because of rivalry between Hagar and Abraham's wife Sarah, Hagar and Ishmael are sent away and they end up in the Sinai desert where Ishmael becomes the father of a nation that exists of twelve tribes, just like Israel (Genesis 25:16).

Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He "made a number of original and insightful innovations"[1] in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. Young belonged to a Quaker family of Milverton, Somerset, where he was born in 1773, the eldest of ten children. Young began to study medicine in London in 1792, moved to Edinburgh in 1794, and a year later went to Göttingen, Lower Saxony, Germany where he obtained the degree of doctor of physics in 1796. In 1801 Young was appointed professor of natural philosophy (mainly physics) at the Royal Institution. Thomas Young died in London on 10 May 1829, and was buried in the cemetery of St. Young was highly regarded by his friends and colleagues.
Noophere and the Semantic Web For those of you interested in the next big thing in the Internet world, I'd like to share with you a little graphic I found linking Web 3.0 (the Semantic Web) with the Noosphere. Everyone knows by now about Web 2.0 and social networking, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, 4square, etc. Web 3.0 linking the data and the people together is upon us. There are already meetups all over the country on groups working to evangelize the next generation of the Internet. However, progress does not stop there. There is a move to go beyond Web 3.0 and include a consciousness known as the noosphere into the web.

According to The Kybalion, The All is a bit more complicated than simply being the sum total of the universe. Rather than The All being simply the physical universe, it is more correct to say that everything in the universe is within the mind of The All, since the ALL can be looked at as Mind itself.[3] In effect, the universe is partially existent on the Mental plane, and we may in fact all be parts of The All's psychological makeup, representing parts of The All in its dream or meditation. The Three Initiates (see The Kybalion) strongly caution that we restrain from simply declaring "I am God" for oversimplification purposes. Because of this view, some Hermetics also practice theurgy. Explaining why The All acts[edit] Questions as to why God acts or doesn't act is an ancient question with many divergent answers.
What comes next after the Noosphere? If I'm supposed to be serious about this, I'd go with the "Emotisphere"... which is the kind of emotional subtext to our lives, and/or maybe the collective emotional zeitgeist of any particular population, and which has a profound impact on the functioning of the noosphere. Like, for example, after 9/11, the emotisphere was polluted by panic and paranoia; which in turn dictated the functioning of other spheres, like the noosphere (like the discourse of politicians and pundits), and the technosphere (like the development of full body scanners for use in airport security). Having said that, I also want to propose something called the Thanatosphere; which isn't a system per se, but more of a piece of space-borne military equipment which resembles, but is not, a moon. It's a completely original idea, and I'd better not catch any upstart Hollywood auteurs stealing the idea for their movies about interstellar conflict.
