I am a being of light and shadow. So are you. People observe that light comes from the Sun and stars and shines on the Earth. Too often we take this for granted. After millions of years the light and energy that has gathered on this planet have been transformed into an amazing biosphere of energy beings. While the source of life remains a mystery we can easily attribute our continued existence to the “original” energy of the thermonuclear reactions of the Sun. The key is that light has become concentrated in us. We feed on other energy beings and grow our light within. We do this with the intention of shining it back out into the universe. I think individually we are pretty bright, and collectively we are absolutely brilliant. We are so bright we are actually polluting the world with our brilliance. Some people think this picture is a testament of our power, and they are probably right, but I think this picture is sad. To me it shows how greatly we are wasting our light trying to “beat” the dark. The key is we are beings of shadow and light, and to deny our darkness is a division that does not serve us. We need to reach for a balance or our light may yet destroy us. (more…)
It has been a long two weeks. Here is a summary of what has been happening for me:
1) I got my first business card printed. My moms think it’s super, except the text is a bit tiny for their eyes.
2) I joined a Single Founders Mastermind community started by Taweed at his community site, Braintrust.io. It’s been helpful to have somewhere to share thoughts that is more focused than my blog. In fact it’s helping me revamp my blog to be more focused too, or at least I hope so. (more…)
I’m a wizard. I’m good at most things and an expert at none. I have diverse worldly interests that mean little to me. While keeping my mind busy, they do not give me any thrill to live. Thus I sought out love and have found it in abundance on this planet. Love is the the thing that drives life to not fall apart. It literally binds us together. There is no reason for it, only a continuous rhyming of circles and irrational numbers. If you think scientifically you’ll see that the world is easily divisible into parts. If you feel love in your heart you’ll see that the world is unavoidably connected in every way. If you can reconcile this scientific mind with the love of the heart you will be a wizard too.
I want to quote Deepak Chopra from his book (The Return of Merlin) but don’t have it nearby. I’ll paraphrase the important line. A wizard walks backwards through time, seeing all that has come before and knowing that it will all come again. If this sounds confusing, don’t worry, I don’t think it can be figured out, but it has a deep meaning to me about how I understand the world.
This is in response to the dancing guy commentary posted by @sivers. Thanks Derek! It is very encouraging, to a nut like me, that this information be provided to potential followers.
I am a nut. There is no doubt about it, just ask my ex-girlfriend. I’m more than willing to embarrass myself to make my dream come true, of that there is little doubt. See my last post, for an example. I have yet to lead a movement, or a crowd, as dancing guy did, but the time is coming. Who knows maybe you’ll be my “first” follower? (more…)
I went to the Island Tech Conference on Friday Nov 13th. I got up early, to go to the morning VIP keynote address, given by Will Harbin. I missed the bus and didn’t want to be late, so I walked fast. It was nice out. Everything was freshly washed by a heavy rain. The sun was beaming down warmly and the wind hadn’t picked up, like it did later in the afternoon. The walk got my blood going. I ended up being early for the speeches, because the 8am start was actually for a meet and greet with time to take in the Empress’ continental breakfast. I scanned the site for water and found only hot. I passed into the ballroom proper and got a nice empty table closer to the front. Water was in a pitcher at the center.
