" The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet."                                                           - James Oppenheim

Hey!  Einstein claimed it was easier to change the particles of matter than change the thinking of men. It's amazing that cellular biologist  Bruce Lipton's  research has shown our own DNA is contingent, not only upon all the environment around us, but most importantly on our interior - how we think. In his  The Biology of Belief ,  he shows how  our thinking can change our biology . Mandelbrot's  explanation of our fractal universe  fascinates as well. He shows the sameness of cycles in the micro universe beyond the classical mechanics of molecules. There are the tiniest continuously repeating patterns in everything ad infinitum . In  Gregg Braden's  book -  Fractal Time  - we go macro. He speaks of the cycles of our cosmos, cycles which repeat similarly, like Mandelbrot's . An epoch cosmological cycle repeats circa 2012. Recognizing all these elements of life, we can then elect to manage and control them more...

  My letter to the world.. .    I love the message Playing For Change  promotes. This group is proactive in the universal language of music. They are creating change on a broad scale. I applaud them. Everything changes, whether we're ready or not. Everyone has noticed global climate change recently, right?  Gregg Braden explains how it has to do with normal cycles within the cosmos,  cycles thousands of years wide per a single wave. Everything is connected. It's all energy, therefore connected. There is scientific data revealing the influence of human emotion on those around us, and even the entire planet. Our bodies are made up of energetic frequencies. We have options on how to manage our energy, those vibrations, those flows. HeartMath  tells us how. Bruce Lipton, in his  Biology of Belief , has documented his cellular research proving the importance of our thoughts affecting survival, even our own DNA. It's all outside...

Have you noticed my theme for the new year? Old is New?   I’m not fixated on getting old. I’m intent on living my best life ever.  There is a paradigm shift occurring, and the pendulum swings back and forth.  Ebb and flow. Physical things become disorganized and disintegrate.  Spirituality offsets this with its ever expanding simplicity of order. I’ve convinced myself my life becomes healthier on all levels the more ordered I become. That’s a trick for me - a creative, fly by the seat of my pants person. It’s a fun game though. I am experiencing benefits. In the video above, some commonly accepted myths are debunked. I like Dan's conclusions because it seems to illuminate a way to live much longer with ease. Ages ago, it was standard to move naturally and not obsess over getting enough exercise. The present day centenarians in the video demonstrate this.  It was common long ago to surround yourself with family an...

We all have our own kind of genius. I call it eclectic genius.  Not of the Einstein or Hawking genre... but practical, fun, easy. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. Stephen Hawking   My own definition of genius : ability to see the tiniest detail plus the panoramic view, together as a unit.  Separate while similar - connected. Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes. Ralph Waldo Emerson   I've also defined creativity as: distilling limitless boundaries into certain boundary limits. Creativity and genius are not always synonymous. We are all... can be... creative geniuses whether we recognize it or not. And we can become aware of that perfect solution for our problems. We may find it residing within. A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. Albert Einstein Life's lowest common denominator: survival.  I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works. Oscar Wi...
