At the top of the mountain, we get to soak in the view.

Start your day at 4:00 AM. You’re up any way, why do you to need to stay in bed? Sit up and meditate. Say the word “thought” over and over again trying to visualize what it looks like. If that makes you sleepy, go back to bed.

You will see change taking place no matter where you look.
Think of it as a mind expanding message from the stars, maybe not the work of human beings.

Attend to your breathing – whether thru mouth or nose doesn’t matter. Force inhale, do not force exhale; relax, repeat.
Inhale can be deep or shallow, fast or slow, your choice. Deep & slow is spiritual. Fast & shallow is animalistic.
How long can you keep this up before losing focus?

What society thinks of as reality is the hypnosis of social conditioning, an induced fiction in which we are all collectively participating. –Deepak Chopra

How close are we to the brink of something? Or how close to a shore? Electrical essences in the basement! Do you realize how much things have changed in the past two centuries?

The Hitchhiker series by Douglas Adams follows the adventures of the last surviving man, Arthur Dent, after the demolition of the Earth by a Vogon constructor fleet to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
Arthur Dent is rescued from destruction on Earth by escaping, ironically, on a passing Vogon spacecraft with Ford Prefect, a human-like alien writer for the namesake electronic travel guide.
He explores the galaxy with Prefect and eventually encounters another human, Trillian, a beautiful woman who had also escaped Earth in the nick of time.
Other characters include the two-headed President of the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and a depressed and paranoid android robot, Marvin.

Uphill
A man walks upright.
For him it is strenuous to climb a steep hill, because he has to keep pushing his own vertical mass upward and cannot gain any momentum.
The rabbit is better off. His forelegs support his horizontal body and the great back legs do the work. They are more than equal to thrusting uphill the light mass in front of them. Rabbits can go fast uphill. In fact, they have so much power behind that they find going downhill awkward, and sometimes, in flight down a steep place, they may actually go head over heels.
On the other hand, the man is five or six feet above the hillside and can see all round. To him the ground may be steep and rough but on the whole it is even, and he can pick his direction easily from the top of his moving, six-foot tower.
