Where Do you Hold The Answers

Yup, this post is going to be a little bit "out there". But hey, if you know me well, you probably are getting used to that :)

One has to be willing to think outside the box once in a while to keep life fresh and interesting.

I have read enough books and watched enough videos exploring the nature of intelligence, knowledge and the human brain.

I have studied great biographies of folks like Nikola Tesla and other inventors. Albert Einstein's story never ceases to inspire and educate me.

So today, my simple thought is this.... Where do you search for answers to your most compelling questions? Do you search
within your own brain because you feel that all knowledge 
is "within you"? Do you search the air for answers to float by?
Do you devour books and videos or send emails to "experts" whose brain you wish to pick?

Well, I have probably attempted most of the above. Lately I have come to discover one simple truth, that the answers are not within one's own brain. They exist in an accessible realm not fully understood, but a realm that definitely exists.  It is not a physical realm, but a loaded realm where all knowledge dwells. 

We can access this realm of knowledge when we place a problem in front of our eyes and mind and not let go of the problem until the answer arrives. It takes faith and patience to access the realm of knowledge...where all answers are stored.

One can speak of God, and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and if you can resist the lure of "religious demons", you will find your self closer to the knowledge you seek. Why? Because God holds all knowledge. He is not hiding it from you.

Reading how Telsa and Einstein would uncover the mysteries of the universe and it's abundant energies makes me silent and impacts me deeply. The quietness and stillness of their discoveries is so profound. They both trusted that the answers would come to them, when they were ready. They worked from a position of knowing a little bit, and as they developed projects that explored the knowledge they had already mastered....new avenues and tid bits of knowledge revealed itself. They were never too proud to explore a principle once they understood it. They never looked down on anything that seemed "too obvious"....like gravity, the sun....light and energy and weight. They took delight in uncovering the obvious and hidden potential in the things we see and use every day.

It seems that knowledge has one price to pay....one fee to entry. That price is humility. Those who feel they know all and have no need or interest in learning anything more will not be allowed in. God resists the proud.

What is a current small project you are working on? Don't give up, just because the answer feels far away. Keep holding goals and interesting questions in your heart. 

This post feels incomplete, but I must run now. 
In Peaceful productivity,

The Lure of Consumerism

No this isn't going to be a diatribe about how terrible shopping is....or how we should just stop spending money.

No, today I just wanted to discuss briefly how consumerism can be stealing your focus without you even realizing it.

What does consumerism do? Consumerism is an obsession with "all things bought".
Those who are lured into consumerism inherently despise anything that wasn't purhased with money and hate anything that was crafted or invented at home.

It's not that I'm necessarily advocating that we all become home bodies and spend all our time making home made gifts out of dried macaroni..... I'm simply saying that if you are one of those people who
wants your creativity and inventiveness to flourish, you might just have to resist that "spirit of consumerism" that has beguiled the masses.
Consumers don't create anything....they simply shop for what already has been created by someone else.
Consumers don't invent anything new, because their time is spent trying to please some external and commercialized idea of what is beautiful, effective or intelligent. They will buy what the media tells them to buy, even if it is in direct contradiction to their written goals. Perhaps they don't even have one single written goal at all. They merely live to consume, to purchase....and give all their time and adoration to what others have established.

But I know that there are many "Indie" publishers, writers, crafters, musicians, makers, and inventors and investors who are chock full of new and brilliant ideas. But their ideas are still in hiding because they have not been released through that very precious gift of "focus".

Are you going to give your written goal/goals the gift of focus?

Peaceful productivity,
Carla
