“We learned the methods so long ago that they're unconscious, and we've hypnotized ourselves into believing that we're the audience, so I wonder where we served our apprenticeship.  Under what master magicians did we learn to form reality so smoothly that we forgot to tell ourselves the secret?” ~ Seth

Oh man, superb! This is exactly! what I've been thinking about recently.More attraction! at work eh.
As I recently said in my blog post: Attraction! I've been really experiencing just how powerful a creator I am, even choosing bad things, just to know that I do create that!
After these experiences, I thought to myself:

When I create this bad stuff, and these bad experiences occur, of course I feel fightened or scared, to a degree.However, these days I am always aware enough to know I am creating it, so I get a buzz out of it, because I know I can change it whenever I like.It's kind of like when I heard a rollercoaster designer/engineer talk about his first ride on the rollercoaster called: Pepsi Max Big One
He said that with all his years of experience and knowledge, he knew that the structure and design was sound, he knew from the laws of physics that you wouldn't fall out of the seats.Yet even he, experiencing 3.5G's, and when falling 205 feet at a 65 degree angle travelling at speeds over 70 mph (see bottom pic in previous link, and also pic below), even he before descending had thoughts of “omg, ahhhh, nooo!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” ya know, basically he was somewhat scared, thrilled by it, lol!
In other words, he couldn't just sit in the coaster train and be totally emotionless, because in a way that would mean the ride didn't work.You see for a ride to work really well, to make certain that everyone else gets a thrill from it, the designer has to be thrilled from it too.



So when I read Seth's comment you shared with us David, I totally vibed with that.Taking the roller coaster analogy again, it's like we designed the coaster and we've been going around and around for ages, until we forgot about the laws, we forgot in reality all is well, and we started to believe that this was actually dangerous, ie: we became the passive passenger, the “audience”.We really thought (or at least moreso than the engineer did) that we could fall out of the train seats at over 70 miles per hour (mph).What I'm now feeling, regaining, these days is the designer/engineer/creator is reawakening in me again.I know that there's no danger.Sure, if I truly wanted to I could try and break free from the train seat and jump out at the top, in which case I would die.Or I may hit my head on something if I were to stand up instead of remaining seated.But, guess what, that's totally deliberate! and you really have to try because you're so safely strapped in.It's an effort, it's a struggle to do oneself any harm or attract bad things.When one is aware of this, life is just so unbelievably good! Or like Abe says we'll be: “inundated with indescribable joy”.

Enjoy the ride and the new twists and turns you create for yourself.

Cheers!

Think about it.

"I appreciate it for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I know there's a lot of physicists who use my work, I don't need anything else".

"I've already got the prize.The prize is in the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it - those are the real things"

~ Richard Feynman talking about his Nobel Prize during an interview with the BBC Horizon programme in 1981.

PS: I'm not sure if this media is available outside of the UK.Click the link and see if it shows anything.I hope you get to see it, it's a very interesting interview.

I originally posted this idea ages ago, here: Automatic Intelligent Tagging

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess seeing as though you’ve signed up to this idea as well, that you know what I’m talking about, lol.Only had to say that because I’m not even sure if this is what it’s called, so let me clarify what I had in mind:

People may forget or just don’t bother to add tags to their blog posts and photo’s, etc.So I was wondering if there is a way to somehow scan a blog post, checking the frequency a word is used, and then when a word shows up x number of times then automatically tag it.My thinking is that the frequency with which a word is used, often determines what the blog is about.

Also could you scan the blogs and then whenever a particular word shows up, ie: ‘Commitment’ then that is automatically tagged.The words that you deem necessary to be tagged would be a central decision and not down to the individual blogger.

This in itself is a philosophical discussion, and that is assuming it is even possible.Centrally picking the words you wish to have tagged when they arise, powers home our (those who ‘get it’) mission.However I think that needs to be balanced with what it is people are actually talking about.Of course they most likely will be talking about changing things for the better, etc, and therefore things will match up perfectly.

Choosing which words are to be tagged automatically will advance that core message, and fade out the type of blogs that are of no benefit (they won’t ‘spread’).
However the benefit of tagging just whatever appears the most frequently sure would help in the evolution of the community.Sure the real head honcho's here are bright people, but personally I see no better way of evolving and prospering than by using the collective’s power.

I suppose the question is: Do you know it all?

Personally I can quite comfortably say that I don’t, but I’ve got a ‘good idea’ ;)
I like to be on the leading edge, but I’m not naive.It’s about finding that delicate balance between allowing people to express themselves freely while encouraging them to express the best of themselves.How tagging is implemented will have a great impact in this area.

~ end

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since writing the above I have actually come across a utility that allows you to add your text to it and it gives you a list of tag suggestions automatically.Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what is was called, lol.I'll get back to you ASAP!

Cheers!

EDIT: Just remembered, the tag utility is:  tagyu!

Blog title: NEW UPDATE!!!

“following our dreams regardless of our age, situation or place in the world.”

Yeah, totally!

I remember this news story I heard on the bbc: Chip shop woman, 98, awarded MBE
You know I absolutely love that story.Somebody who is just happy doing what they're doing, loving their daily routine and only considering how they feel about themselves.
It's like we're told:

Oh you must do this in your lifetime,
You're young, you should be doing this,
You should travel more,
Go out and see the world,
You can do better than this for a living,
Blah blah blah!

If you're happy then you're happy.Oren I dig the fact that although you have travelled to many places, you think it's cool that your bro is not travelling and you recognize that his dream (at this time) does not involve physical travelling.That's really cool.
And that's why I really buzz off people like Constance who basically just get on with what they dig doing.I bet she's had a more fulfilled life working in her chip shop than many other people have had doing all those things that other people have told them they should be doing.The evidence is there, in that Constance is 98 and still loves her 'job'.

Oren, your blog post reminded me of two quotes from two of my favourite teachers:

” Without opening your door,
you can know the whole world.
Without looking out your window,
you can understand the way of the Tao.

The more knowledge you seek,
the less you will understand.

The Master understands without leaving,
sees clearly without looking,
accomplishes much without doing anything.” ~ from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching

I think basically he's saying do your thing! You do your thing and I'll do mine.
Oren travels and makes films, Ronen writes his book from home, but none of you have opened the door.You're still living within yourselves, living your own dreams, just like Constance.”Without opening the door you can know the whole world” is a metaphor for “not living by and being guided by anything else other than the way you feel”.
“Without looking out your window you can understand the way of the Tao” is a metaphor for “not looking out to see what everyone else is doing to understand what you should be doing.”

Another favourite teacher of mine, Abraham Hicks, says something like:

“Maybe you wish to travel, so you get a map out and make marks on all the cities that you wish to visit.But at the end of mapping out your journey, you realise that your final destination is “Home”.But you don't think to yourself “well my final destination is home, and I'm already home, so I guess I'll just stay at home”.You go because of the thrill of the journey, because of the potential to experience things along the way and meet new people, etc”. And when you get back then you start to plan another journey, for the thrill of it!” ~ Abraham Hicks

What I get from all of this is basically that when we go with what feels good then we're living out our lifes intentions.Of course we live in a physical world and we see and hear things, but how we feel about them is what counts, not what we have been led to believe they are “this is good” and this is bad” or “this is a worthy occupation” and “this is a dead end job”.Working in a Chip Shop, Travelling the World, Writing a book from home, all the same thing when it's what each person really wants for themselves, what feels best to them.

“The sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.
He lets go of that and chooses this.” ~ Lao Tzu

Choose this, choose you!

Cheers!
