Who's on first

 I remember loving Christopher Columbus growing up. I still respect him and people of great adventure, but am disappointed with some of the actions that took place during and after many of the adventures that have occurred over the history of human experience. Here we are though, in a land we call America, named after one of the Italian adventures who sailed across the wild oceans to find themselves on ground they didn't know existed. America is the Latinized feminine form of his first name, Amerigo. As we know the Americas had people living here in societies and the European settlers took a bit of time to free up all the space here for themselves. By now we are spread out pretty heavily over North and South America so it will not be easy to give it all back to the indigenous nations, taxes? An interesting part of the settlements is how the waves and winds carried the Spanish adventures to the south and the English who came over later were pushed to the north, which is where the la...

Ageless

 I have been working on being disconnected from time by realizing myself as an energy and not a physical being. As energy we are moving with a much looser connection to time and do not have to be affected by it in the same way. So we can be 40, or 35 at will by focusing on that point in our energy experience and making it what we are now. We are each full of power and it is when we remember to fill our bodies with love and share it with the world that surrounded us, then we have started the journey to eternal youth. Using the body in a fun way that keeps it loose and strong will create a higher quality and more youthful experience for you. Invigorating the mind with knowledge and inner seeking will grow your ability to function at higher levels of mental play in the world and within your own flesh. You may even become aware of your presence as conscious energy tapped into a brain and nervous system for experiencing the body and the world. It is work that becomes wonderful when you ...

The three

 Time, space and consciousness are the three creative properties that make the layers of reality as we know it. There is a wave in two layers of existence that creates the assumption of moving through moments where experiences have cause and effect. Where things become, age and decay, then stop being in what we call a lifetime. We have the structural dimension of what we exist in, a place to play. This building blocks of this world are so well designed and we get so much experience through it, to the point where we become so involved that we lose our intention. The form of this reality overwhelms our consciousness until we find ourselves working only for it's comfort and joy, sometimes even at the cost of others. Consciousness is that part of everything that allows us to have individual awareness and be surrounded by structures and creatures. One of the mysteries of consciousness is that it is able to assume other forms in the places of dreams. But because the force of space and ti...

My being

 I exist as a human on a planet spinning around a star. When one sees their being from this perspective they may have a tendency to recognize how little each of us is. I am tiny compared to trees and miniscule next to the planet. But besides physical being there is mental awareness and the life of the mind which is both connected to the physical and free of all form. Our being which resides before atoms is both completely caring for the experience gained from this reality and simply observing what happens. When we live as physical beings we are best off if we find balance between the joy of experience and the peace of an outside observer. As one who is here to experience, we can each find the most joy by taking in the world around us as moments of physical interaction given through a body. As an outside observer we can acknowledge our eternal ability to have the experiences multiple times over and not feel a need to force them into the world right now. Mingling the two perspectives...

Limited

 Could you imagine living in a society that allows half it's people to be paid an ever lowering percentage of the amount of money it takes to live comfortably? What if the people accept such a society as just the way it is even as a certain group continues to amass such large amounts of wealth that it becomes impossible for them to spend it? What kind of leaders would allow a gap in income to occur that a tiny portion of people holds more wealth than the larger portion of people in their society? A review in December 2024 found that in the United States of America there is an issue with distribution of wealth and we all accept it. The wealthiest people make up one percent of society and hold over thirty percent of the wealth. It is good to know that there is a group that makes up just under fifty percent of society and they hold sixty seven percent of the wealth. That is not too bad, a nice percentage of us is doing pretty well, but that leaves about fifty percent of the people try...

Men

 I have been inspired by many men in my life, from family members to those I never knew but who made me push my mind. I try to find a lesson through every person I meet, and there has been so much inspiration given to me by wonderful and wise women in my life, but right now I will stick with the men who have brought something memorable to my life. My father has taught me so much; from patience as he watched me work through my own mistakes, trying to give me guidance which I always accepted so slowly over time, rarely when it would have been the most useful. As I have watched him keep his body strong and able to play throughout his life, I learned that staying in good shape allows me to play at things that have brought me joy and energy since I was young; two wheeled toys are so much fun. I have also learned independence, which sometimes makes things harder, but keeps me working to always push myself to take on challenges. My uncles, which are varied and have been gifts stretched...

Would you

 I wonder how much faith you would put into the sincerity of a person who says they are self made and came from nothing, then it came to light that their career began at their father's real estate company? Which they were given and were able to expand because of their father's financial and political backing that enabled them to do their first deals, demolishing and renovating landmark buildings. Would you trust a person who in order to avoid the financial ruin of their businesses used methods which were legally dubious to avoid paying taxes, and whose own lawyers described their activities as improper. When we consider the people who have come from poverty or lived near the edge of poverty throughout parts of their younger lives and have been able to build a world around themselves that supports a comfortable living experience for their families, then we can compare and see what self made really looks like. For one to be raised in a household that has millions of dollars avail...
