Aperture

World,

I have an infinite curiosity about you
and me. I personally see me in everybody. I see everybody in me. So in
a sense...I am you. One of my many ambitious goals is to give you
something because I also believe you have something to give me as well.
What is it? I'm not sure, we'll figure it out though. Read through my
blogs and try to find answers to all of the questions you carry but
never speak verbally speak out loud to begin your treasure hunt of
life. Search for a key that I may have for you within my words. All the
words that I make are put into words for a reason. They are to give you
that flashlight.

Here's how I see it, we're all in a dark room. Throughout life we'll
ask ourselves questions like, what is it like to die? When will my time
be up? Where do we come from? Who/what created us? What am I here to
do? How do I find happiness? Questions such as these give you a blip of
light in that dark room to better see your surroundings. My goal for
you is to grant you a flashlight in this dark room. Now, with a
flashlight you can't see everything but it will make looking for the on
switch much easier.

That on switch that I think we all hit at one point in our lives. That
switch that turns every single light on in the room to reveal its not
just a room, it connects to 401 hallways that lead you to different
buildings and each building has millions of rooms. I'm not looking to
be idolized, I simply want to give you a vital piece to your treasure
hunt that will assist you in finding the pot of gold, the on switch,
Happiness.

Here is all I ask from you, reader. Once you find this on switch, give
somebody else the flashlight that I gave you. Give them the spark that
will allow them to be as aware and conscious as you have just become. I
am you. There is nothing we can't do. All boundaries are self created
and once you realize this, the world transforms itself from a prison to
a playground. Find your happiness, help others find theirs. This will
in fact change the world.


The butterfly effect is all around us. One thing leads to another that
leads to another that leads to another. This is why you should not
stress at any of your current predicaments and issues. If its negative
in your life...look deeper and see how it is actually assisting you
towards the next chapter and increasing your self value as a person.
When things don't go your way, it makes you stronger. So how can this
be negative when looked at in that light? Stop stressing, stop
worrying, stop drawing lines in the sand, stop all judgments, we all
came from the same point of origin and we're all going towards the same
destination. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view
it.

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

Perspective is a funny thing..

Humans.

A violent race, a race of which we see an eye for an eye. How have we come so far with a mentality that is so self destructive? Lets put things into perspective. Earth is here. Plants grow from the earth. Plants and trees take over. Trees grow branches. Branches then grow more branches. Each branch grows leaves. Each leaf is identical to one another. They are all made the same. They come from the same source. If our way of living is where it should be, why aren't leaves setting each other on fire? Self destruction is the quickest way to prevent yourself from growing and reaching destinations you could only dream about.

The lines in the sand are so bold here, but most fail to follow the lines to where they go. They all lead right back into one another. Everything is connected. Everything. Imagine the possibilities if this view was seen by the rest of humanity. I wonder what would come to be. We seem to be confused by how many times we've changed the color of our leaves trying to break away from our truth. Figuratively speaking, we all have a stem, we all have a branch, we all have a tree, and we all come from one source under the dirt and roots.

I wonder what would happen if you started practicing this. I wonder how many new doors would open, how many new lights would turn on, and how many lives would be altered. We all live, we all die. Its so simple. Simplicity at its maximum degree.

I had a dream the other night. I had a dream that I died. Most people fear death more than anything else but after this dream I can only tell you how peaceful it is. Imagine your whole life, you've been carrying a weight on your shoulders that you never felt or knew about. Now imagine during your last few minutes of life on this earth, there is no more weight and there are no more restrictions on what you can and cannot see. If you had 2 minutes left. How would the world look to you?

Would you be thinking about bills?
Would you be thinking about grudges?
Would you be thinking about debt?
Would you be thinking about hatred?
Would you be thinking about worry?
Would you be thinking about fear?

No. That what dying feels like. Not only does your body shut down, but so does the whole system that keeps you from fully appreciating the life you're living. Why do you have to be 2 minutes from death to enjoy this feeling? I think I may have figured out the glitch in the system and I am now living those 2 minutes for the rest of my life. Simply Beautiful. Go find the blue bird.

Try this. Apply it. See what happens. Tell somebody else.

Check, call, fold.

World,

The other night I was drinking with some friends at his apartment playing poker and realised how much life is like a poker game... You can either play, or not. The game could go well... The game could go sour... The only true way to find out though, is to play the game.

I ante up. The dealer deals to people around me, but I cannot see their faces. I get my first card. It's the 7 of Spades. The flip flip flip of the cards rings in my ears. I try vainly to see what they are being dealt. My card comes up. It's the Jack of Spades. Now, here is an interesting moment, and I think I'll stop to explore it.

You have a different types of people in this world. One will THINK about the game, another will not even realize the game exists. The rest are somewhere in between. Some will calculate their odds. Some will pray for better cards. Some will take what's dealt at face value.
Some try and cheat the dealer. Some will get caught, some do not. When I stop to ponder which type of person *I* am, I reach a conundrum. Sometimes I worry about the cards that will be dealt. Sometimes I lay back and let them come. Sometimes I scream and curse at the dealer and blame the world and curse the gods that have caused this upon me. But truly... have whatever gods that exist done ANYTHING to me? Honestly I think not. I have no one to blame but myself. I can either accept the hand that is dealt me, or not.

Stepping back to the game... I am dealt a 10 of spades. In the back of my head, I start to piece together the possibilities. I could be working on a flush, or a straight, or even a straight flush! My heart begins to beat faster. FLIP FLIP FLIP flip flip FLIP. my card is up, the 8 of Spades.
I hold my breath... flip flip flip flip Flip FLIP. I see the card down on the table... my card... but do I dare pick it up? Salvation or Destruction lies in that card. I see all the money on the table, ALL my money on the table. The rest of the table is looking at me, but I still cannot see their faces. I reach over and pick the card up. The card feels heavy in my hand, so so heavy. I steel myself and face the card to my eyes. The words "I don't know" are written on the card. The card shimmers and shifts. I see it shift from hearts to spades to clubs to diamonds, 2s to 8s to queens to jokers. My heart stops and starts and bleeds and rejoices. I sit... in stasis... while the card changes and shifts... settling... settling... slowing... but not stopped yet.

Soon... soon I will know.

Until next time.

Whats the same difference?

World,

Well. I'm here at the airport, just watching people. Hugging, kissing, holding hands, smiling, running, searching, sleeping, thinking, playing, stressing, worrying, reading, looking over work documents, eating, on their laptops, iphones, and ipods. I see a marine in his fatigues, most likely on his way to Iraq. I'm going to Hobart for business and he's going to Iraq for business. A lot of emotions fly around in an airport. Everybody comes here and brings along everything that they represent. This is diversity at its best. I see people being inspected and the security guards running the detector all around their bodies as if they are being cleansed of suspicion of carrying a weapon. Even though you have no weapon, when you pass through that detector without a hitch, you feel as if you've passed a test and now you're a good person. I'd like to point out the toddler that just walked up to me and slapped the seat to my left while preaching something he really cares about in baby language. His world is perfect. Not a care in the world, other than a dirty diaper. I love this world. It's amazing how similar we all are. We all start and end the same way,. So why can't we see this? I think it's because people try so hard to see what's different rather than what's the same. Someday I wish to change this in some way. Now I just have to figure out how. How do you get 6 Billion+ people to see this? Find a method. Boarding time. Time to fly and get closer to the stars.

Until next time,

Infinitely,

A Homeless Man's Perspective.

So I wanted to make this note to document what was said between me and this guy.

Alright so I'm leaving the bar knowing I have about 4 blocks to walk to get to my friend's car. I'm fine with that, there's always something to see that's hidden underneath the scenery that is visible. I'm standing about 100 feet from the bar at the street corner waiting for the light to turn green so I can cross and start my 4 block walk. It was then a homeless guy (Age 45) came out of nowhere and started striking up a conversation with me about people around the city. He didn't ask me for money, instead he asked for my time as I walked to my car. So we started talking about how he's not the only one chasing money. I told him that everybody is. Then I asked him the question I love to ask people to get to know them a lot better. (Because you can read volumes about a person based on how they view the world.)

I asked him "How do you see the world?". His response was candid, 100% pure, and unexpected. This was his response.

"Well, my view of the world has changed time and time again. I think that just happens as you get older. My son died back in 1989 and it threw me into a different place. I started drinking heavily and doing drugs. It was the cause of me being where I am now. I lost everything. I have nothing. How do I see the world? Well, I see the world as one of the filthiest places in the universe. We've really made this place filthy. Although, I've come to find proof that even in the worst conditions and in the most dirty and decaying places, flowers can still grow."

So let me get this straight...He's homeless, he lost his son in 1989, his drinking and drug use led him to being homeless, he lost everything. Yet, he still sees that even in the worst conditions in the world or anywhere for that matter, flowers can still grow. This man can find beauty and hope in anything. If he can do it, can't you? Why is it that we have people with an opportunity to do anything they want in this world that will never see this kind of perspective and take advantage of this open doorway? Something to think about.

Just had to share this. Find the flowers.

The Asteroid

World,

Imagine with me a scenario. Lets imagine on TV there's a public announcement that an asteroid is coming our way and to seek shelter. Imagine the last 10 minutes on earth.You are currently downtown, you see people rioting, punching each other, looting stores, crying, praying, murdering, hugging, drinking, creating a war zone of "So what, an asteroid is coming? What does it matter?" mentality.

Then all the sudden the TVs turn on announcing that ALL the networks were just hacked by people who valued life so much and appreciated what they had to the point where they saw people who didn't appreciate anything and felt the need to teach them the hardest hitting lesson they would ever learn. How would you react to this? Imagine looking at these people from a bubble where you were invisible and you were watching them destroy the world they think is coming to an end in that moment.

Your first thought may be to think of them in disgust...how could they do this? How destructive and primitive they become when they feel that they are no longer in control. Or would you think beyond thinking about why they are doing this and more towards thinking to yourself "Why do I let small things matter so much? Why does it matter at the end of the day? What does money truly mean before I existed and after I'm gone. Nothing." I usually tell you all about things that just are, things that I've discovered, and what I think are important messages for you to inherit. Now let me tell you about the thoughts I've created on my own due to factoring all of the notes that I've been taking throughout my life:

Life is everything. Life is nothing. Life is an explosion of energy. Life is a blip on the radar. Life is not worth living it just to fear it. Its not worth living life holding hatred towards a person that won't be alive a hundred years from now. The earth will move on with out us, so why can't we move on in our own lifetime? Einstein spoke a lot about relativity. People can say our life spans are so short. Some may see it as its too long and they want it to end quicker. Everything we've ever touched, seen, smelled, tasted, heard, is a build up of memories we develop in ourselves. Some people only remember the bad things about their past memories, other think of the good things that they can carry with them. Everything, entirely everything is how we see it. Change how you see things and the things will change how they appear.

Whatever you put out into the universe I believe it gives back to you. I'm not speaking about religion...I'm not speaking about Atheism. I'm not even speaking about an established preset belief system. I'm speaking about evolving your thought processes beyond what has already been provided. Will science matter when that asteroid is on a collision course for real? Will religion matter? Will anything matter? How do you see the world? We are everything, we are nothing. You decide.

Divide yourself from the equations that keep you from moving on to the next level of living this life we have. If you can do that, you'll be that much closer to your version of heaven, utopia, the center of the universe, your happiness. Try to not look down upon somebody who has found their happiness, even if you are on the polar opposite to what they believe. Why can't an atheist make peace with a religious man for finding their peace and happiness. Why can't a religious man make peace with an atheist who has found the same exact thing? Why draw lines in the sand at all? Find me a religion or current belief system that DOESN'T draw lines in the sand and classify others as inferior. You won't find it. I want to change this. Here's your chance.

Try to take a step back when people behave in anger and when they retaliate with violence. Take an invisible bubble overhead look of these events and translate them to what it truly is. A species fighting for something they only have for a limited time. Stop wasting your time being pulled from one painting to the other when you have that canvas you've been building on since you were a child but forgot about. The longer time you stay focused on your goal (your canvas) the more intricate it will get and the quicker it will start to develop its final look that you've always wanted. Focus. Don't let tradition hold you back from discovering your consciousness about what,who,where,why we are.

You decide on how you want to take this stream of unfiltered, untarnished, untouched, pure form of inner honest expression. Its your choice and never has it not been.

If I told you an asteroid is coming...What would be your perception?

Mine would be peace, simplicity, and a beautifully balanced sense of understanding but at the same time not even scrapping the surface as to pretending to know and fully understand what really IS.

Understand that we will never understand everything. Decide Happiness and just enjoy the ride.

Persist.

Come with me.

This is what I have in mind. Try to imagine a building.

This building is 808 stories high. In each story there are mystical animals such as mermaids, unicorns, and sea monsters of all the varieties. Look above you, you can see an air duct but the only things coming out of this air duct are ideas, compliments, and joyous laughter by children who only have the capability to receive and project happiness.

Walk to the back room down the hallway of cherubs on bicycles. Knock on the door and ask it to open for you. No wrong one, not that one yet..oh well, go in there anyways, it just became the right one. It will listen to what you have to say and it will open itself because why wouldn't it? You asked it to right?

Inside this room you can see a painting that captures every single visual piece of serenity you have ever and will ever experience throughout your entire life. While looking at this miraculous piece of immaculate art you hear a song. Its the accumulation of every good song you've ever heard. All of the songs that you sang in the shower on a Friday morning right before a 3 day weekend that you knew was going to turn out amazingly adventurous. Its whales singing, its the light breathing of an infant, its the music box that used to put you to sleep when you were new to this whole living thing and still working out the kinks of reality.

You'll stay in this room for 4 minutes and 1 second. 4:01. While in this 4 minute and 1 second euphoria, you're dancing. Each step you take somehow empowers you and makes you more and more sure of the next step you take. This dance brings rains, life, and joy.

When you're done you'll walk down the hall to another room where there's a map. On this map it shows every place you've ever been, every place you'll go to, where you were born, where you'll expire in life, and where you will find love and happiness. Its the road map to your life, but its here in this building...how can this be so clear to you? Is this possible?

All is possible. You are all. Anything you create in your mind, is possible.

Look towards the stairway doors open like a lamborgini's doors. You can see a number 1. You're on level one. You go up to the 2nd floor and everything that was in the previous floor has just amplified times 999. You just can't believe that there was a multiplication of floor 1, a place you thought you'd never ever reach.

Floor 3 is also 999 times as reality bending as floor 2. You start to notice a trend. Each floor evolves from the last. But why is this happening? How is this happening? Where is it taking you? Look closely at the map of the building...in bold it says 808 stories...but the 08 part has been scribbled in by an average man named "Society's Norms" to give the illusion that there's an end. Turn the building map sideways, only then will you see how many floors there really are from the remaining number. Zoom out of this buildings window from a mile away in a Wonkavator . The building says something on the side of it, turn your head, can you read it yet?

It says "My Mind."



You're welcome for the tour. Explore your own building. You all have a hidden door that will bring you to a higher sense of things.
