What’s Your Life Story?
It’s easy to hate someone right off the bat. Certain people just rub us the wrong way. They annoy us and piss us off. Although I’ve been pretty polite for the most part for most of my life (with the exception of a few phases), I’ve always met people who just rub me the wrong…

Accessing Universal Intelligence
I’m hoping to achieve superhuman status in the near future in that I’ll be able to accomplish incredible feats with regularity. These feats will not be limited to any specific category. I’ll explain below how I plan to do this so that you can also try for yourself and accomplish everything you set out to…

The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe
The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe is a short biography (fewer than 60 pages) of a man I’d never heard of, Walter Russell. I’m not sure why his insights aren’t commonly taught in school. At least not in my schools. He was a world-class painter, sculptor, author, architect, figure skater, philosopher, and more. They…

I Quit My Job

We humans were born to create. That is our purpose, our prime directive. When we are not creating, we are not acting in accordance with our prime directive, and it becomes difficult or impossible to live a fulfilling life. To be happy. Traditionally and evolutionarily speaking, men created shelter, sustenance, business and wealth, while women…

You Are What You Read
We all know the saying, “You are what you eat,” and it’s true in a very literal sense. What you eat ends up becoming part of your body, so make sure it’s mostly good stuff. The same is true with what you read. The ideas you read about become part of your mind, and the…

Expectations II
This is the follow-up post to this post. I returned home a few hours ago with the usual post-vacation blues, which as far as I can surmise, are 100% unavoidable. I’ll get right to the meat. My expectations were not only met, but exceeded, as far as having a good time goes. We all had…

Expectations
It’s Wednesday night as I write this, but I scheduled the post to be published Thursday night, while I’m out in the boondocks of New Hampshire in the White Mountains. I’m staying in a Dartmouth-owned cabin with my girlfriend and seven other friends from Thursday through Sunday. We have no set plans other than a…
