Look Past It

Just putting this thought out there: More to myself than anyone else...

Hydrogen is not just the most abundant element in the universe, or the lightest element, it is itself a flammable, gaseous element that has that in common with the somewhat heavier element of Oxygen. Most of us learn in grade school that when two hydrogen atoms (single elemental matter particals) join up with a single Oxygen atom, "H2O", we get ... water.

Water hydrates us, it puts out...

My Twin and I are firm believers in many things, among them are the beliefs that (1) Everyone is born with -- and maintains (under all their disbelief or 'forgetting/unknowing' -- the ability to be empathic because (2) we are all connected by the same non-physical Energy (big E on purpose; all inclusive) which at our most basic level of awareness (3) we can feel/sense the mood shift in a room... and on ...

On the eve of Feb. 17th, 2021 in the Aurora/Denver Colorado area, in a hotel parking lot within hours of our check in, we came back out to our van to find the back driver-side tire completely flat. At the time, it was too dark t...

Previously we've talked about Zeno's Arrow Paradox in terms of motion and sequences of space-time, read about it ...

Now, we're going to relate this concept to better understanding what Yoda meant when he tells Luke Skywalker (in the Star Wars Film "The Empire Strikes Back"),

"Do or do not. There is no try."

People who write things, like the above, think people don't understand... I understand they create their sleep complications in largely by straight up telling themselves they can't sleep and be better.

They haven't yet realized they are always right.

If they believe sleep won't help, it won't. If they believe they can't turn their thoughts off to sleep, they never will. If the...

For those who need/want it.

The "why" you feel stuck in the yo-yo of happy and then sad/bad/mad again, is because you haven't yet trained yourself to control your thinking like you drive your vehicle.

Want to feel better, stop telling yourself you have to _____ and start telling yourself it'll all work out, because it will, especially when you stop trying to control the details (like we'r...

When I see or hear someone expressing unhappy emotions about something (or many things) in their life on a repeat loop, I feel a compulsion to say, "deal with it!"

But not so long ago, I realized what I was actually meaning was, " Heal with it!"

As in, allow yourself to decide and/or recognize how/why the experience makes you a better, more enjoyable you for YOURSELF (and then others.)

Today, I want to talk about "regret."

We think "regret" is a natural and needed part of life because we grew up being told it was a sign of a good person. Good people are good and aware enough to regret bad decisions, or good intentions that came out wrong, or things we should have done and didn't, or things we shouldn't have done and did, and so on....

Today, I want to talk about "things."

"Things" being physical matter, ideas, or even experiences.

"...things themselves have no natural power to form our judgements."

The Gloves Are Off!

Today, I want to talk about Zeno's "Arrow Paradox" supporting the idea that motion is an illusion. Then, I'll expand on the idea.

In the original thought experiment... Zeno of Elea (495-430 B.C.E.) was using an arrow being shot at a target to support Parmenides of Elea's (515-450ish B.C.E.) claim that motion is an illusion.
