Good Monday Morning!!!

I hope everyone had a calm, rejuvenating weekend.

What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose for being here? These are valid questions. Not just from a religious or philosophical perspective, but from a practical point of view as well. Everyone has heard these questions asked, at church, self-help seminars, spiritual gatherings, and when sitting at home contemplating the universe. Realistically, these questions need to be asked often in order to clarify ones direction in the plan.

I’ve come to the understanding that asking these question and expecting answers that are instantly and universally applicable is not logical or practical, except to say that your purpose is obviously to live. Using the questions to answer themselves, I found, is universally rejected because not specific enough.

So how do we solve the puzzle with profundity equal to the intent of the questions? How can we answer a question of infinite scope with an equally infinite answer when we are but finite beings with finite comprehension?

My solution has been to remain in the finite realm of comprehension. Today, right now, my meaning of life is to write. My purpose for being here is to author this letter. A Big Rig drivers meaning of life is to drive, and the purpose is to safely transport goods in/on a trailer. A Doctors meaning of life is to heal people, and his purpose is to diagnose and treat. The questions reduced to a comprehensible finite are actually quite easy to answer because within our ability to define.

On your Roadmap To Success you can answer the questions as they apply to you.  No one else can tell you what the meaning of your life is, or the purpose, with any specificity because not intimate with your experience and training. Only you can.

I’ve stated in a previous letter; “A Master Craftsman can take a dull tool, and because intimate with its deficiency, create a masterpiece”.  

Have a Masterful week living up to your purpose!!!

Sincerely;

Good Monday Morning!

If Darwin’s Theory is correct, how come we don’t see any more bald apes being born. Did nature say, ”Okay, nothing but hairy apes from now on?” Based that a human embryo resembles tadpole, has anyone observed a big headed frog walking on its hind legs?  I might accept it is an event that only occurs once in a long time, but with the billions of animals and fish, and the trillions of insects, all observed constantly by Zoologists, Entomologist, and other “ists”, isn’t it odd that a “once in a long time” event has never been observed in recent history? What happened? Evolution suddenly stopped?

Maybe the theory is correct but the premise is wrong. It seems illogical (and I use logic because any infinite being must be infinitely logical) that of the hundreds of billions of stars, in hundreds of billions of galaxy, ours is so unique as to be the only life producing planet in the neighborhood. And, that given our solar system took 4 Billion years to solidify, we are an infinitesimal speck in a galaxy that did not take a proportional amount of time to form? 14 Billion years for all this to happen? Doesn’t add up.

What seems more logical to me is that whatever event happen to begin anything is lost so far back in antiquity that the evidence of it has been diluted and diffused with everything that has occurred since to the degree it is unidentifiable. I think it possible stars and galaxies` that have lived and died so long ago that even if the light from it traveled a trillion light years, it has already passed us, and we will never know of it. Logic demands we stop thinking we are more than only the relative center of OUR universe because we can only detect light that is presently reaching us. Logic also demand we accept the limits of our sight because, just as sunlight washes away the stars, an event horizon exists at the limit of OUR universe that prevents us from seeing more, unless it is an immensely powerful a light, and would then be an anomaly to contradict “Big Bang”.   

My logics demands we see that if the Universe has existed longer that 14 Billion years, or even within 14 Billion years, the seeds from anything that has existed before us has been propelled into space by its ending. And that those seeds contained in space dust, meteors, or comets, have landed on this planet. Just as with any seed, whatever its form, a proper environment is required for germination. We must consider the possibility that the seed contains all the coding for a specific thing, and when it geminates it produces one single thing after maturing. The maturation process being a micro evolution that could end when the environment is no longer compatible, then begin again in the next compatible environment  Therefore the possibility of simultaneous appearance is not beyond consideration. Tens of billions of suns producing billions of seeds. Accepting the “Seed” theory then shows that an Ape will always be an Ape, Ants are always Ants, Humans are always Humans, and the ends of the coded sequence have been fulfilled.

Nature Abhors a Vacuum. This seems correct. By observation this statement is more correct - Nature Requires a Vacuum. Without the vacuum of space would anything exist at all? Could solar systems form? When something necessary was needed, something necessary appeared.

Only when a vacuum appeared, or a lack, did events occur to fill or eliminate it. Business can be viewed in the same vein. As the landscape changes because technology moves faster here than another place, or a vacuum being filled producing another, or whatever the reason, a beacon for attention to the need ignites. Those who pay attention, can see an opportunity – the light bulb over the head. Experience is the fertile ground, knowledge the seed, and determination the cultivation that causes it to grow. Then another vacuum occurs for pollination of the blossoming idea, so it grows into an even more desirable final product. Every endeavor can only become a macro success after all the micro successes have flowered and been pollinated. (Sorry to mix metaphors)

For every vacuum there is a seed. Because of Macro Business and Micro Business, infinite vacuums over fertile ground exist. It is the Natural Evolution of things and we are always farmers, naturally.



Have a Great Week!!!
