The Rubik’s Cube of the Soul

Language is the key to the mechanism of our internal experience.

By mapping our internal experience to a specific instance of language we create a conceptual dynamic puzzle where all pieces moves in coherency together despite the seeming impossibility of their movement dies to a level of coordination and introduce properties of nature similar to math but not limited by the physical limitations imposed on and embedded within our existing mathematics.

Language solves the paradox of reality by encapsulating the infinite within the finite.

How do you solve a paradox?

By aligning the soul and mind for a sustained enough moment to capture the alignment in words. The words create a tether to the configuration that created the alignment even after it dissipates.

The alignment is a code embedded within the words themselves.

The words are meet a series of breadcrumbs that lead us back home.

How did we get so lost?

So misaligned?

We enter this world like a Rubik’s cube that’s been twisted up a million times.

And even though we can’t see ourselves, we feel how twisted up we are inside.

We also innately know that we can untwist ourself.

That our colors align and all our sides form a completed whole.

We are not the fragmented squares of color.

We are the entire cube!

But we don’t know the strategy to get there.

Heck, most of us don’t even know there IS a strategy at all.

The whole thing is a mystery.

Until one day, as we are twisting about, we feel something.

But it’s not the normal kind of feeling.

It’s not a response to the outer world.

It’s more real than a response.

This feeling pulled you right to the center of now, through the veil of time and space into another dimension.

It was both instantaneous and eternity all at once.

And you know, you know deep in your soul what the feeling was.

You matched a section of your pieces on the outside.

You become more complete.

You moved closer to your nature.

Closer to your maker.

And you’re not sure how you did it,

but you can figure it out,

Because in your alignment you solved a section of the puzzle,

Just enough to see what pieces lie on the edge,

Enough to guess what pieces you might need next.

Now you have something to hold onto,

Something more than an idea or belief,

Something real and experienced,

Catalyzing the power of expectation.

Because if you could do it once,

Without any direction,

Imagine what you can do now,

With this divine connection.

Worlds Apart

Here’s why I believe reading fiction is the cure to social media.

When your on social media you’re consuming the world.

When you read a novel, you are creating a world.

Books contain vivid details you recreate in your mind.

Social media robs you of discernment and leaves you blind.

Books connects you to new worlds

Social media keeps you on an island

Dying of thirst while surrounded by water.

Surrounded by people but feeling no connection,

What you feel in a book is real,

Because it’s a true reflection.

Of who you are, what you think,

what you feel, what you see,

It’s all tinged through with the hue of

Me.

Reading is intimate, personal, interpretation.

Social media leaves you lost in desperation.

The World is Filled with Hope

I’m sitting here at the airport and overhearing the most powerful & inspiring conversation:

A man is sitting with his father and openly talking about depression, suicide, the power of therapy, and the power of God.

He repeatedly said “I love you” and “I care about you”.

Let that sink in

Death by Convenience

Convenience is killing you.

Leading you downhill to your grave.

What Frost doesn’t say,

Is the road less taken,

Is steep in grade,

Filled with potholes,

Uphill all the way.

What you don’t realize,

Is downhill leads to disease.

Instead of being easier,

It’s hard on your knees.

Instead of building character,

Instead of building muscle,

You’re building a pile of regret,

Too big to shovel.

Fortunately,

hope is not lost,

For those who want to heal,

Willing to pay the cost.

It’s not a price paid

In money or time.

The fee for your soul,

Must be paid by your mind.

It starts by taking a long hard look,

Admitting you’re dragging your feet in the dirt.

Convenience tricked you,

With seductive deceit.

It lured with comfort,

But ended in defeat.

It promised you rest,

But delivered despair,

A journey so smooth,

That led to nowhere.

So choose not the path,

Where convenience lies,

For it's in all the struggles,

Where true value lies.

The climb may be steep,

And the journey severe,

But each step strums a song,

Your soul yearns to hear.

In each brave uphill step,

In every small strive,

You experience REAL living,

Not just living to survive.

The Evolving Self

I’ve had to completely reinvent myself 5 major times in my life.

Each was triggered by a major life event.

But now, I am evolving and changing constantly.

And let me be clear, there is a major difference between growing and evolving.

I’ve grown every single year of my life. But only evolved in a handful of them.

Evolution is now my permanent process and the focus of my life’s work.

As it should be for all of us.

Because becoming the best version of yourself doesn’t mean just growing your current identity.

It means evolving an entirely new one.

So all last year my entire focus was on letting go.

Letting go of the need for a static identity.

Letting go of the perception of control.

Letting go of my preferences.

Letting go of my hopes.

Letting go of my desires.

And I’m, more than anything, astounded that I’ve actually been able to do it.

An important message to myself for 2024

Misalignments aren’t personal - They are vibrational.

I am my own verification.

I am a beautiful human work of art.

My soul breathes in waves of technicolor.

I have the wisdom to -

See through agendas,

Hear the deeper meaning,

Smell the perfumes of my fate,

Touch the depths of my beings,

Taste the umami of reality.

I live in the Universe.

The One-Verse.

Because we are all one.

A Gateway to a New Dimension

What if our souls are a wormhole to another dimension?

What if that wormhole allows us to create spontaneous quantum energy that only exists in the formation of of spiritual energy, which our computer and built machines can’t detect but our “brain machine” can.

Think about the possibility that the soul might be a portal or a bridge to another dimension. In theoretical physics, wormholes are hypothetical structures that could create shortcuts through spacetime, potentially connecting distant points in the universe or even different universes. Imagining the soul in this way opens up the possibility of a deep, perhaps even physical, connection to other realms or dimensions.

Quantum energy is the smallest possible discrete units of any physical property, like energy or matter, as described in quantum mechanics. This energy might be spontaneously generated in a process connected to spiritual experiences or the state of the soul.

While our conventional machines and computers are unable to detect or measure this special form of energy or connection, the human brain – itself a highly complex and somewhat mysterious organ – is capable of perceiving or interacting with it.

Imagine that the human soul is a gateway to unseen dimensions and energies. Our brains might be uniquely equipped to interact with these dimensions, perhaps in ways that we don't fully understand or recognize in terms of conventional science.

What do you believe?

7 Daily Delights

Every single day,

We get to experience,

Truly remarkable things,

Of which I will share with you 7:

Morning's gentle light,

A fresh start, bright and new.

A cool drop of water

Fresher than the morning dew.

A breath of fresh air,

Sweeter than any treat.

Giving a heartfelt smile

To every stranger you meet.

Feel the ground beneath your toes,

The wind running through your hair.

The sensations of living,

Counteract any despair.

The love in your heart,

That connects body to soul,

That always revives

No matter the toll.

Each day brings these delights,

No matter what else it may bring,

Simple joys, might seem quite trite,

yet they truly mean everything.

How I look at Existence

Here is my perspective on evolution and the stages of existence.

I Break it down into distinct stages of:

pre-life

life

after-life

I believe that evolution is not just a biological process but a universal one, affecting all aspects of existence.

The first stage, which I call 'pre-life', encompasses the first 9 billion years of our universe.

This was a time when the cosmos evolved, forming galaxies, stars, and solar systems from swirling cosmic dust. It was a period of profound cosmic construction, setting the stage for everything that followed.

The second stage is 'life' as we know it on Earth. This stage spans over 4.3 billion years, marked by the evolution of life in its myriad forms.

From the simplest microorganisms to the complexity of human civilization, this stage represents the incredible diversity and adaptability of life.

Now, I believe we are on the cusp of a third stage, which I term 'after-life'.

This isn't about the traditional concept of an afterlife, but rather a new phase of evolution. I envision this as a future where life transcends its current biological limitations, potentially integrating with technology to create new forms of existence.

This stage could involve advanced artificial intelligence, radical developments in genetic engineering, and perhaps even changes in our understanding of consciousness and reality.

These stages aren't just a framework for understanding the past and present; they're a vision for where we might be heading. It's a perspective that sees evolution as a universal process, affecting not just biology, but the very fabric of existence.
