Let’s get right to the punch line. If you truly want to succeed at something then it is necessary to take on the attitude: “Failure is not an option.”
If a deadline can be pushed, then it will be pushed.
If there is wiggle room, then wiggle is likely.
If failure is an option, then failure is on the table as a possibility for consideration.
The moment failure is not an option then you are caught in the grip of needing to succeed at all costs. Continue reading
When the doors of perception appear to open they reveal a vision. The harder we work to open the doors, the more invested we are in this vision being cool and groovy and having some form of specific significance.
It can happen that this vision crystallizes forming a stained glass barrier preventing actual penetration past the vision. Our expectations become a guardian blocking our way into whatever it is that we could see if only we could get past our own expectations.
Two things can help prevent this:
1) Keep your teacup empty or at least empty-ish.
2) Remember what the Black Lectroids from Planet 10 have to say on the topic: “No big deal.”
This blog is for that tiny group of people that are using Diablo 2 as a vehicle for working with their Avatars in the Multiverse — the expanse of nearly infinite parallel worlds.
So what happens when your character dies and how do you deal with it? Here is one proposal.
When a character dies in hardcore diablo, you cannot use that character to log into a game. That means when the character dies, you cannot select the character from the account screen and you cannot enter a game. All assets, experience, waypoints, equipment, all everything is inaccessible. You cannot use that character.
Does this mean the character is dead in the parallel world? Continue reading
Recently received had an email exchange from a new Prosperity Path Orb user in which the following questions came up. I think they were very genuine and insightful questions. So, I thought I’d post them hear along with my attempt at an intentionally partial answer.
“I still seem to be missing a big piece of this puzzle. I don’t understand the orb process, the point of the journey through these places and what my goal is. I’m sure over time I’ll find a help button that will shed some light on this. I’m wondering if I am missing this part of the process because the installation is incomplete.” Continue reading
I was curious, how often should the Orbs be ran a day?
I think the number of orbs run a day is very individual.
One lady I know runs orbs for others. Things like “Heal My Pet”, “Clear Light”, “Karma Burn”, etc. She will typically run as many as ten a day.
Other folks that I’ve spoken to average a couple times a day.
It all depends. Continue reading
Below is a portion of a question/answer email exchange with a friend in Italy. I’ve posted it here on the off chance it might be of interest to others.
(Note: this conversation is part of an on-going dialogue. And as such, we have already shared a common vocabulary. So some of the words may be used and have meanings that are new or unusual for a first time reader.)
> I have some other questions for you.
> – How long it does take, on average, to awaken the human biological machine?
Awakening the machine is not something that happens once then you stay “on”.
It would be pathological to stay in the waking state. The same as it
would be pathological for you to not sleep in the ordinary sense. Continue reading
In Broaden Your Physics Background #1 we talked about creating table-top physics demos as a tool for expanding one’s own understanding. In this blog, I will introduce a different method, a very different method. :)
Try explaining different concepts to different entities. Continue reading
I was recently asked by someone what would I suggest that might perhaps maybe help broaden one’s understanding of physics. The “might perhaps maybe” was not part of the question. I’m just stuffing that in there to sow the seeds of uncertainty concerning any specific result that may come from following my hair-brained (or is it hare-brained ala Bugs Bunny) ideas.
I apologize now for the meandering twisty path of my answer. I take the question very serious and thus I feel it is necessary to sneak up on the answer. Continue reading
Let’s look at a scenario.
You’ve discovered through the painful process of experience — again, and again — that your attraction to “bad boys” puts you into relationships that just plain don’t work. One messy breakup after another has led you to the conclusion that “bad boys” are not a good idea.
So you resolve: “No more bad boys for me… I know the signs, I know the results, I am swearing them off… no more… period… that’s that.” Continue reading
this is my take on how to setup Windows 8 in a manner that makes sense to me. I am not normal. I do not have normal needs and drives. When it comes to computers, I approach them as a programmer/developer — not as a consumer. Continue reading
