Good Monday Morning!!!

I’ve been staring at the screen waiting for inspiration. So far the only inspiring thing I’ve come up with is that I not getting any inspiration. So, here I sit, wishing, and hoping. and …

How many of us do that. Wait for something, anything to be given to us. Serendipity might happen, but I’ve observed it occurs most frequently when we have a purpose for it. Therefore, it may only be serendipitous when applicable to our situation and goals. This also seems consistent with the saying “that we make our own luck”.  

When we have established a plan toward a specific accomplishment, all our thinking, actions, and impulses are directed by our desire to reach that goal. Our intent builds in us the fervent and consuming hope for success. All our mental faculties, conscious or unconscious, begin to attune to what is the hoped for. The conscious decisions made are directly related to the project. The unconscious plays in a different, more expansive arena, where by influence it manipulates the indirect relationships and events in the process. Things like a simple hello to someone on the street, who unbeknownst, is involved later in a professional capacity and more inclined to a positive view of your project. We’ve all seen the commercial on TV where a series of small considerate acts loops back to positively impact the originator of the chain. Can this be equated to predestined serendipity?

There are no research papers on self-willed Serendipity that I know of. Maybe it is called something else by esteemed researchers. The fact that your actions, thoughts, desires, hopes, impulses, and dreams all have a significant effect on your situations, guiding you in a direction where happenstance and luck can alter and shorten the path, is rarely part of a plan even when it can be the difference between success and failure.  

What if we planned for serendipity in every endeavor? Not as a means to avoid hard work, as a reward for working hard.

Have a rewarded week.

Good Monday Morning.

Science has proven indisputably, that we are built of Molecules composed of a cooperation of Atoms. Billions of Molecules purposed for a specific function - liver, heart, skin, blood, brain, etc. I must wonder if the Atoms are purposed for that function too, or are they just conveniently in the neighborhood when a molecule is needed. Atoms are elements that are building blocks for molecules that are the building blocks for matter. Is it the composition of the Atom that dictates the molecules purpose?

It can be shown that Atoms are notorious transients always in motion. Atoms of every element float free through all matter in the same way planetoids pass through space little influenced by their surroundings. Galaxies can pass through one another without even a star colliding, if science is correct.  Because of this transient quality, Atoms pass from one thing to another.

Suppose Atoms carry with them the memory of their travels. Is it possible our memories fade because the Atoms containing memories leave? What if science found a way to read the memories in the Atoms of our DNA. Could they tell if we are so much of this mountain ground to dust, this ocean now dry as bone, a long extinct forest denizen, Isaac Newton or Einstein, or possibly the space dust from a distant star? What if all the memory in these Atoms are why you are the unique person you are?

We emit Atoms and absorb Atoms all the time from people and things. Compatible Atoms are used to replace the ones gone, the rest just hang around. Could it be that a person’s attraction or repulsion to you is less Anatomic response than an Atomic reaction? What if you contained large quantity of Atoms with similar memories, would that account for an immediate attraction, for the lightning strike of love at first sight? Is compassion really the Atoms sensing an imbalance in kindred Atoms?. People who live together for a long times begin to think, even look alike. Is this because they have shared so many Atoms with their memories? Is this confirmation?  

In my humble? opinion we carry within us more than Racial Memory (Human - shameful I must qualify this). We carry in our Atoms the memory of all history that ever has been. We imprint our Atoms with more memories that are carried away, even into the depths of space. In this way we create our immortality. I believe this is proof of our Supreme Being because so Supremely Elegant in its simplicity.

We are Creators just as Jesus said, “Ye are gods”.

Create something wonderful today worthy of being remembered.

Good Monday Morning, Tuesday.

Sometimes, Success at an endeavor depends on molding yourself into the character of someone who is most successful at that endeavor, and doing so until you change the character for success into someone else. What drives someone to do that? I think having a Passion for something, either directly or because it is a step toward a goal, is the driving force.

Passion. What are you passionate about?

In Facebook I follow the Harp Twins. Two young women who play Harps. They don’t just play Harp music. They play Rock, Blues, Jazz, and More. They are Passionate about bringing the Harp into the mainstream as a serious instrument. Some are critical saying the Harp is wrong for certain music. I disagree. Music is a language written on Staff, punctuated with Clef, using letters called notes, with sentences, paragraphs, and pages. Those proficient in this language use instruments to translate it into sounds that everyone can understand, even individualize it into their own unique comprehension. Is the instrument used more important than the translation? Should we not accept their Passion to translate something wonderful for us because of the their instrument of choice?

Many of us have had a Passion for something, and even pursued it. Often, to reach our Passion we must use other tools along the way that help us move closer. Unfortunately, too often I think, we get lost in our tool box, and the tools replace the Passion. We slide the drawer closed and confine ourselves to an immediate reality that sustains us, but never fills us. The tragic story of a love lost.

What a depressing vein. But, all is not lost. It only takes opening the drawer and becoming Passionate about the tools you’ve acquired because they are the means to your Passion and your skills at using them need to be perfected. It does not guarantee you will achieve you Passion, but you print your near success into a character someone else can use and emulate.

Have a wonderful week. Your Passion calls.

Sincerely;
