Consciousness

Brain activity in the pink matter (wet) comes up with a mental impulse that drives the hand to draw with pencil on paper (dry), transferring an idea into physical space. From there the graphic design, as in this example, gets uploaded into the AIR of cyberspace.

Fast and Slow is Daniel Kahneman‘s idea of thinking in terms of System One and System Two.

System One defines the fast, effortless, intuitive, almost impulsive type of thinking.

System Two describes a deliberate, slow-paced kind of thinking that involves the effort of concentration.

To Stop thinking requires training your mind to silence your thoughts. That higher level of control is achieved with deliberate, focused time & effort, through the practice of meditation.

Declination

So many people
have come & gone
Their faces fade
as the years go by
Yet I still recall
as I wander on
As clear as the sun
in the summer sky

In good time as the ardor of youth declines and years increase; as reflection lends her solemn pauses; then a love of ease & virtue supplants the love for maidens. –Moby Dick by Heman Melville

Riding a woolly mammoth bareback, gives one no sense of control.

Simple aerobic exercise such as walking improves episodic memory and executive-control function by about 20%. Running can make you a genius.

Tool for manipulation of reality plays upon words. Control meaning of words, and you can control people who must use them. Example: Whoosh of happiness.

No one wants to explore the darkest recesses of the soul without bringing along a light. Allow self-improvement to occur at the deepest levels by aligning the entirety of your being with your purpose, facilitated by operating in a context of lightness.

**Edel Space 27** over Pacifica – Photo by Leon

Piloting a paraglider around the turn of the millennium. (That’s M with outstretched arms.)

Flying machines epitomize the realization of a 3-D experience in the wind.

Now my wing is in the garage, ready for the museum. It’s still flight worthy, and it could still break my neck.

There was an indescribably hideous monster standing quietly behind him.

Arthur yawed wildly as his skin tried to jump one way and his skeleton the other, whilst his brain tried to work out which of his ears it most wanted to crawl out of.

“Bet you weren’t expecting to see me again,” said the monster.

Do you recognize this pretty city? Hint: It’s an almost 12 hour drive east-southeast from Cupertino.

Associated with the Sun; strength in adversity, and the triumph of life over destruction.

Constellation Orion, partly encircled by Barnard’s Loop, appears upside down (on the left) when seen from the southern hemisphere.

Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.

On the far right, near the top, are the two Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.
