Come what may, whatever tomorrow may bring, we need to deal with it and move on! The world is in pieces and we can not change it or fix it with the same thinking that got us here. Greed and Selfishness will not be tolerated moving forward. The truth will be first and foremost the determining factor on every decision and petty bullshit will not be tolerated. Stupidity and ignorance - willful or otherwise will be called out and not be allowed to continue. We are all in this together the Social Compact must be adhered to and practiced and encouraged if we are to survive and evolve beyond this moment in time. "Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." ~ Hermann Hesse There is a lot of misinformation out there. Conspiracy theories are running rampant. Fake news, disinformation, social media is inundated and saturated with memes and cartoons depicting gallows humor a person doesn't know what to believe - so we cower in our c...

Just because you think, it is so, or just, does not make it so. You may be wrong. I know it is hard to believe right. What else could you be wrong about, who knows. Since you believe it, it must be so. That is called conformational bias. We all suffer from it. We all want to be right, but because the ego must always be right so must we. If we think we know everything how will we ever learn? We are entitled to our own opinion, as the saying goes, but not to our facts. The facts are the facts. We must keep an open mind and not run everything through the filter of our experience alone. We must try not to interpret everything and assign it a fixed meaning. We must approach everything from all sides, put ourselves in the place or space, and do our best to apply reason and logic whilst we trust our intuition. If we are able not to blame, shame, admonish or praise we are better able to see things as they truly are. Our life is shaped by our mind, for we become wh...

  Our doomsday clock starts ticking the first time we draw breath. It is a fact of nature. We have a finite number of days, months, years, and minutes, moments and experiences. The question we should ask ourselves, is, how do we want to spend it? Do we want to live a full and robust life filled with new and exciting knowledge, experiences and memories? Or, do we hunker down to accept what is given and embrace the status quo? Or do we seek out new and rewarding frontiers? Do we love, share, care to make a difference in this world? Do we see opportunities for growth and strive to do better? Do we live a life of virtue and strength of character or do we fear what we do not understand and believe unconditionally what we are told to believe? Do we have faith in humanities latent nature of a higher expression of love, compassion, and unity or do we look for reasons to not trust what we know to be the truth because it is easier to be a member of the mob than a lover of...

A TREATISE ON THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION. Bipolar I Depressive. In my early thirties that was my current situation. Finally, a name for my pain. “It’s like diabetes.” They said. “You can treat it with medication and talk therapy.” They said. “It is manageable.” They said. “You will have it for Life.” They said. They also said that I had a 1 in 5 chance of ending my own life. That is a 20% likelihood that on any given day, I will pull my own plug. That shed a lot of light, on an infinite amount of darkness. I am here, to tell you that if you are mentally ill, struggle with depression, anxiety, or addiction – if you do not – Adapt, Evolve, you will die before your time and before you know what hit you. Furthermore, if you deem yourself a stable genius the same applies. Depression will pull you down. Anxiety pushes you down. Addiction will burn you alive. Bipolar I Depressive will pull you apart, burn you alive, push you down, pull you down drown you,...

The Stoic principle that tells us – Recognize what is under your control and what isn't under your control.   Don't worry about what isn't under your control – it is acceptance.   It is not giving in or rolling over, but accepting what is.   To not accept what is, is pure ignorance. Not accepting what is, is being closed off.   Accepting the circumstances and working within the reality that we find ourselves in creates opportunities and novelty where we can challenge ourselves and do so learn new things so that we may grow and expand in consciousness and in being. If I never accepted anything, I would always be recapitulating what I already knew and understood.   By accepting the unknown, or what is, a tension is created, a spark of inspiration awaits me where I am still in uncertainty and still in the possibilities.   I accept myself for who I am.   I accept you for who you are.   I accept that there is a pain in m...

Let’s be clear about that! Seek your own council - Be your own hero, savior, knight in shining armor. Change begins within. Like the proverbial light bulb, you have to want to change. You could want to for all the right reasons. You don’t feel well, lose weight, your second wife left you for the third time, what have you. Change is good. It clears out the cobwebs. Novelty, or new stuff, is instructive. It attracts new interest. It inspires inquisitiveness. It makes the gray matter in your brain to wake up and take notice.  If anything it could prevent boredom. The Status quo is static and quite frankly - the same old same old - is death. Try something new even if it is wrong.  You don’t have to wait until you have everything you think you need or have to go out and buy all the gear and the best new bike to start riding a bike. Hell, go buy one at a yard sale, get your fat ass on the seat and ride. Seriously, when I see someone riding a bike, I can usually tell...

You cannot heal or be healed until you know what ails you. You cannot fix something until you determine what is broken. Until what bedevils us is realized there is no growth, healing, or progress. We must be aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Especially when communication breaks down! Between partners, friends, family communities and nations if not addressed everything stagnates and festers. Situations go from bad to worse, from the status quo to the status no, real quick and the interested parties become antagonistic. Things back up and then stack up and become constipated then septic and everyone and everything becomes polluted and things begin to break down then deteriorate. If we are not in alignment we suffer and struggle. When our hearts, minds, and wills are not working together they are at odds and we feel the pain. If we cannot accept how things are we suffer and agonize over it and make a bad situation worse and make it that much harder to rectify. Unless th...
