Elon Musk Life Purpose EXPLAINED

Finding Your Purpose in Existential Crisis

Let’s jump through a wormhole…

Elon Musk is sitting in the SpaceX Control Center and staring intently at the screen before him.

As he awaits the Falcon 1 launch, he must be pondering how much is at stake.

His companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, the country is going through the worst recession since the Great Depression therefore making capital hard to acquire, and to add fuel to the fire, he’s going through a divorce with the mother of his 5 children.

And in leading up to this moment, he already had three rocket failures in a row, which means if this launch fails, he’ll be forced to shut the door on SpaceX and therefore his dream.

We were running on fumes at that point. We had virtually no money… a fourth failure would have been absolutely game over. Done.— Elon Musk

He’s a nervous wreck.

I never thought I was someone who could be capable of a nervous breakdown. I felt this was the closest I’ve ever come. Because it seemed pretty, pretty dark. — Elon Musk

Lift off in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

He holds his breath.

The Falcon 1 blasts off the launch pad, shoots through the sky, and breaks out of the atmosphere, becoming the first privately funded, liquid fueled rocket to reach orbit!

Cheers ring through the control center! Bottles of champagne popped!

The next day the phone rings.

It's NASA offering a billion dollar contract. He can't even hold the phone he's so excited, Elon blurts out, "I love you guys!"

"When something is important enough, you do it, even if the odds are not in your favor." -Elon Musk

When the going got tough, why did he choose to fight on instead of give up? Obviously he isn't driven by money. If his goal was to make money then he said starting a space company would be the last thing to do.

He also isn't driven by a desire to be significant because in the grand scheme of things he believes we're likely a simulation and will likely be eclipsed by artificial intelligence.

According to Elon Musk, the thing that drives him is vision.

"I think it's important to have a future that is inspiring and appealing. There has to be reasons you get up in the morning and want to live. Why do you want to live? What's the point? What: inspires you? What do you love about the future?" - Elon Musk

Actually, he's driven by two visions. He's pulled by the vision of an exciting future, one where we colonize mars, and he's repulsed from the vision of a depressing future, one where we don't even get to mars.

"If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing." Elon Musk

He's therefore motivated by heaven and hell.

What's your heaven and hell?

As a kid I was taught "good people" go to heaven and "bad people" go to hell. But since I believed everyone was a "good person" deep-down that would mean everyone goes to heaven. This is a comforting thought to a child who may have lost loved ones, but uninspiring for an adult who wants to get sh*t done.

It's uninspiring because it means the person who lives a life of consumption and taking has the same chances of achieving the ultimate goal as someone who lives a life of service and sacrifice.

But what if we taught children something else?

"I came to the conclusion that we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask.

Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment." - Elon Musk

What if we believed that heaven isn't something we must die to see, but something we must live to create? And what if we admitted that we can do everything "right", and still fail, which means we need to try that much harder?

"The problem is we think we have time." Buddha

One of my psychological pitfalls is that I'm over-confident about the future. I think it's a pitfall of my generation. We've grown up in the greatest era in human history, and although we may intellectually worry about the future, we subconsciously assume things will continue to improve, but like Elon Musk said, technology's improvement is not guaranteed....

"We are mistaken that technology automatically improves. It does not automatically improve. It only improves if a lot of people work to make it better. And actually by itself it will degrade."

So I think it's helpful to have an exciting vision of the future and a nightmarish vision of the future, and then to do everything we can to create the positive version because in the end, nothing is guaranteed. And then to achieve our vision faster we should, like Elon Musk, set ambitious deadlines.

In the past 5 years, Tesla has missed more than 20 deadlines and SpaceX has missed more than 6 deadlines. But here's the thing... If he get's us to Mars, people won't look back and say, "Well you know, he was a few years late on that."

I think the primary reason he sets. ambitious deadlines is because they motivate him and his people to work harder so even if they miss more deadlines than the average Fortune 500 company they still achieve way more than the average Fortune 500 company.

"People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working." Elon Musk

And he seems like the type of person who needs to be in a constant state of motion or deep in flow to ward off some of the existential dread that might come with slowing down.

"The idea of lying on a beach as my main thing just sounds like the worst. It sounds horrible to me. I would go bonkers. I would have to be on serious drugs. I'd be super-duper bored. I like high intensity." - Elon Musk

In conclusion, Elon Musk's purpose is about setting ambitious dead lines to speed faster toward his heaven. If more of us think like this, then with a little help from Elon Musk, we just might create a heaven on Earth... and a heaven on Mars.

One True Question Will Clarify Your Life Purpose

Your personal question will illuminate what’s most important to you

What is your one true question?

The question that comes up for them over and over again and that can never reach a definitive answering spot. The one that is endlessly fascinating.

It might be “Am I loved? "or “What are the guiding laws of nature?” or “Who am I?” or 

“What does A-N want from me?” It might be “How shall I live?” or “To whom do I owe allegiance?” or “What does it mean to be Jewish/a woman/the child of a coal miner/Deaf?” or even “How do I fill the emptiness of my being?” 

It might be the question Ta-Nehisi Coates asks in Between the World and Me: “How do I live free in this Black body?” Or 

the question I heard over and over as a child: 

“Is it morally permissible to feel joy after the Holocaust?”

When we look inward to discover our own question, we are looking for a core dissatisfaction that animates our thinking and that drives us intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

Philosophy itself grows from the relentless pursuit of a single question — one that “arises at the intersection of thought and life at a given moment in the philosopher’s youth.” 

That early puzzle reinvents itself again and again in new guises. The matter of this deep question is intensely personal. As you read these words, you may know instantly the question that is yours. You see it at work in your life and are familiar with its pull. Others of you may struggle to find your question. You may even wonder if you really have one. I think you do — but it may take some time to bring it into conscious awareness. You will need to quiet your mind and let the quest for the question take root for a bit. You will need to mull it over and maybe talk it over with someone who loves you and knows you well..

Making my question visible to myself required looking backward at the intersection point of my academic work, my childhood worries and hopes, and my psychological and ethical preoccupations.

I saw that over and over again I was drawn to language and driven to understand its ability to both create and occlude meaning. 

My own true question has to do with the way that language works — its connection to thought, healing, knowing, intimacy, revelation, shame, and self-understanding. Its ability to reveal and to hide. My one true question is this: What is the power and limit of language?

I cry whenever language fails to meet the challenge of the beauty, horror, or intensity of what we see

The relentlessness of this question has been with me for as long as I can remember. It was there in the imaginary made-up languages and words of my childhood play.

My religious experiences, too, have always been grounded in this ultimate question as I bracketed the question of G-d’s existence in favor of what seemed to me the more interesting question of G-d’s language. To me, the holiest space—the space where G-d greets us — is at the border of words and wordlessness. In analysis I discovered the ways my sadness and fear also lay at this border. I found emotional healing as I learned how to mourn and recuperate what was lost when I traded the intensity of prelinguistic infantile experience for the mastery that comes with language use..

In my current professional work, I use words to lead change and to make community, marveling always at language’s power and limits. I focus on expanding the circle of those whose voices matter and who have the power to create and share meanings.

In every aspect of my life — my work, my deepest relationships, my soul — I encounter my question: What is the power and limit of language? And I see how I have followed the threads of that question over and over again.

What is that question that animates your soul?

Badiou describes the intensity of an individual’s question as a “wound” or a “thorn” in her very experience of existence. There is likely a truth here for many of us. The ordinary traumas — of loss, grief, anger, and desire that are inherent in human development — leave each of us with our own idiom of yearning. And many among us live through traumas of a more significant and destabilizing kind. But the negative language of “wound” isn’t enough. Whatever its origin, the gap or opening that our question reveals is also an invitation, a wellspring for creative imagination, and a promise of infinite possibility and beauty.

Speaking your question out loud matters. In giving it voice, you can see the ways disparate pieces of your life connect and find an inner integrity in your passions and pursuits. You might find new paths to follow. You might find as well there are things in your life that you can release because they respond to questions that are not really your own.

Our questions differ depending on our origin, context, and style. They are shaped by the happenstance of the time and place into which we are thrown at birth. But they share a common ontological structure. In their archaic origins — their grounding in our earliest memories and our fundamental sense of what matters — and in their ultimate unanswerability, they point us toward the unfathomable mystery of existence itself. They are our window into the mystery that draws us out of ourselves and towards an infinite reservoir of wonder and longing.

Like you, I did not choose my question. But in letting it choose me, my life gained broader purpose. 

I offer you the invitation to find your one true question. What is that question that animates your soul? How are you called to respond to its insistence? How does your question give direction to your work? To your spirit? To your responsibility to heal a broken world?

When you take up your question with conscious intention, you will shine brighter and with increased heat. You will find the root of your inner creativity. You will become more of yourself. You will come home to the life’s work that is yours.

You’ve Already Found Your Life’s Purpose Even if you don’t know it

Whenever I hear advice about finding your purpose, I imagine an epic Marvel movie monologue about saving the world. And it stresses me out.

Of course, having a sense of purpose is important — to be truly successful, you need to know your why. But when you set out to “find” your purpose, that almighty, thunder-whopping reason for your existence, it’s easy to buckle under the pressure and never take the first step in any direction.

Here’s a message for everyone feeling like they’re still searching: You already know more about your purpose than you realize. And that’s because your purpose is simply the meaning that you decide to attach to each day. 

Unless you’re Spider-Man, it’s time to reframe your idea of purpose. Here are five ways to do that.

Stop thinking “big”

When it comes to deciding your purpose, start somewhere, anywhere. See what feels meaningful to you. Looking after your kids can be a purpose. Writing for the heck of it can be a purpose. Making good art can be a purpose. Running five miles a week can be a purpose.

Let your life have many different purposes

Why the heck would you limit yourself to just one thing — especially when you’re so many different people over the course of a lifetime? My purpose as a teenager was to entertain people on the internet with electronic music. My purpose as a 21-year-old was to sell stuff online to customers and have it delivered to their door. My purpose in my midtwenties was to find a partner. My purpose as a misguided young adult was to learn the corporate game. My purpose as a creative individual in my early thirties was to write for others. My purpose right now is to finish writing this story so I can hang out with my girlfriend. Tomorrow, who knows? The possibility of multiple purposes is what makes life interesting.

Experiment like Einstein

If you’re feeling stuck as to what gives your life meaning, try stacking up a series of experiments. For instance, you might try not talking about yourself in conversations for two days. Or maybe you can ask yourself a specific question every night: Like What’s one thing you learned? or How did you help someone today? See what makes you come alive and what doesn’t. Iterate. Imagine. Be curious.

Try on purposes that are bigger than you

There’s joy in having a purpose that’s not centered on yourself. “Volunteer at a homeless shelter” sounds like clichéd advice, but it’s worth trying.

Focus on your lifestyle instead

Your lifestyle is made up of your beliefs, the work you choose to do, your hobbies, how you spend time with, how you see the world, and how you earn a living. Thinking about your lifestyle feels less grandiose, but will lead you to the same place: A lifestyle is a container, the thing that holds all your beliefs about how to thrive.

So instead of searching for that one elusive thing to build your life around, bring things back down to Earth, ask yourself: What meaningful work are you going to do this year? This month? Today?.

You decide your purpose. No mythical Marvel universe is going to help you with this one.

Opening Energy Portals

Get in touch with different dimensions

How Do Portals Exist?

In order to understand portals, you have to understand that the dimension we live in is not the only dimension out there. There are completely different worlds and alternate universes that exist at the same time. Time itself doesn’t even exist which means you can take leaps forward in time or backward in time by simply manipulating your energy.

What Happens When You Open A Portal?

A lot of different entities can come through, both positive and negative. Your mental state when you open a portal is very important because negative energies are attracted to people who have a negative mindset.

To attract positive energies you need to raise your vibrations because positive vibrations attract positive vibrations.

A common example of portals being opened is through the use of a ouija board. It is no secret that ouija boards tend to attract negative energies however people often think it’s because of the board itself. A ouija board is considered a divination tool and like any divination tool, of course, there is a chance of attracting negative entities. The problem with the ouija board is that it is marketed as a toy which makes anyone feel like they can use them. This means that there are people out there with terrible mental health and low vibrations opening up portals and communicating with all types of spirits.

People who use ouija boards also act like it’s a game and don’t set proper intentions beforehand as to what type of spirits they’re trying to communicate with which is why all types of energies can come through. This is highly dangerous! Negative energies are very hard to get rid of because they literally suck the energy out of you and it’s hard to pick yourself back up.

Tarot cards on the other hand aren’t as popular as ouija boards and are mostly only used by people who consider themselves to be spiritual and know how to protect their energy. This is why you rarely, if ever, hear about negative energies coming through tarot cards and latching onto people.

How Do I Use A Portal?

I personally like to use portals when I meditate. If I feel like I need a boost of energy then I’ll open up a portal making sure only positive energies can pass through. Allowing entities with positive vibrations to be around you will help raise your own vibrations.

If you identify yourself  as  Starseed you can also use portals to communicate with your “homeland.” Through meditation, you can open a portal to get in touch with entities just like you in a different world. For example, I’m a Sirian Starseed and through meditation, I was able to see the beautiful world of Sirius and find out more about myself.

As I mentioned before, time is just an illusion so you can also open a portal to your past life and figure out who you were. The things you can do through the use of portals and meditation are truly phenomenal.

Some portals don’t even need to be opened up because they exist and are powered by Earth’s energy. Places like the Bermuda Triangle where people go missing are theorized to be a portal on earth. Places like this have an insane energy vortex that causes the portal to open up.

How Do I Close A Portal?

If you’re closing a portal that you opened through divination tools, the methods may vary. Some people say that when you use a ouija board you have to intentionally move the planchet across the word “goodbye” and that will end your session and close the portal. Other divination tools like tarot cards don’t really have a specific way of ending the session. I say thank you and blow out my candle which in my head closes the portal.

If you’re closing a portal that you opened through meditation, once you end your meditation the portal will automatically close because you’ve exited the meditative state.

Regardless of how and why you’ve opened a portal, you want to always make sure your intentions are in the right place and you’ll be fine. You can even say out loud “I have close the portal and no entities are allowed to come through anymore” if that’s what you feel drawn to do or if you just want to be extra cautious.

Why Immortality is Already Within our Grasp and How we Could Achieve it

I have always fascinated by life ,  Why do we have to die? Theologians and religious believers have long had a ready-made answer: death is simply a transition from this stage to the next in a cosmic proscenium. In the religious worldview death needs no explanation other than “God wills it” as part of a deific design that will be disclosed once we get to the other side, usually involving a cosmic comeuppance for one’s actions and a settling of all moral scores.

What if we are looking at immortality all wrong?

What if our ability to imagine forever is misconstrued by our perception of time? We experience things linearly using an arbitrary scale which focuses on the revolution of a planet circling a mass of gas, which informs our opinion of what it means to survive infinitely. Each part of that equation must be scaled linearly or extended in order for a new reality to materialise.

But what if we could alter the individual elements of those equations? What if it’s already here? What if it’s within our grasp and all that we require to access it is a neural net? A machine, neural interlinking which enables our experience to be shaped by the processing power afforded to us. Life could be extended by hundreds of thousands of years instantaneously upon connection. Our perception of time would be supplemented by a computers processing power where we can process as quickly as the transistors allow.

A minute in the analogue word is equal to 2 year for a computer

AI’s most simple concept is terrifying

If it *only* reaches the same level of intelligence as us, it’s ability to operate at a far higher speed means that in 6 months it would have effectively operated for our equivalent of 500,000 years.

What if instead of fearing AI, we could harvest it power to enable us to operate at a super human capacity? What if we could immerse ourselves in a world where processing occurs at such a higher level of frequency that we could live for 500,000 years in 6 months?

For comparison — it has taken us around 200,000 years to reach where we are now as a species

This would let us finish a 4 year degree in 2 minutes

What if there is a simple reason we haven’t discovered other forms of intelligent life out there? We evolve to a certain point, upload our minds to an electronic network and live out the rest of time on a computer service.

Immortality is achieved through innovation and digitisation where our desire to explore and discover is replaced by an individual power to create?

Instead of caring about what else is out there, we focus on creating what is in our minds and we open ourselves to the opportunity to shape a universe of world of our own creation.

This power replaces the human desire to create due to our ability to do so infinitely. Our digital world becomes the universe which we each preside over. Time becomes infinite and a race spends the rest of it’s days within the container of their choosing, controlling each and every element they experience.

Space might be the final frontier

But conquering time would be our greatest achievment

To conquer that would mean to conquer life and to control our destiny. To alter our ability to perceive time would be to alter the key pillars of life. Time is the thing that has helf us back. Our bodies are vehicles that expire. Our perception of time is controlled by our ability to process and react to the things we encounter which operate at a specific speed which we can analyse and understand.

To become infinite we need not only to be able to swallow the fire hose of information, we need to accelerate our processing ability to exponentially to slow down down quickly that information is thrust upon us.

If the water escape the hose can be slowed down sufficiently we can drink it at a leisurely pace.

And become immortal

Or this could all be a dream badly informed by my rediscovered love of science fiction

Either way I don’t care. It’s a fascinating intellectual construct.

CRYSTAL GRID TO WELCOME ANEW

 Difficulty Level: Medium

Time: 45 minutes

Materials:

Four quartz points
Four Black Tourmaline pieces
One Sodalite
One Aventurine
One Rose Quartz

SPELL STEPS

Step 1: Stand in the middle of your home and set your intention for this crystal grid.

Step 2: Choose one of these blessings or virtues that you’d like this crystal grid to attract to your home – the best options for this grid are love, growth, joy, collaboration, clear communication, and grounded leadership.

Step 3: Find the north point of your home. If you have a yard, we’ll start at the northern point of it. If you’re in an apartment or condo without a yard, just start at the northern point.

Step 4: Now we’re going to find a corner of your yard (or home) in which to place your first quartz point. The starting corner just one step clock-wise from the most northerly point.

Step 5: If you’re outside, bury one of your quartz points in the soil, with the point up. If you’re indoors, place this point in the corner in a way so it won’t be disturbed. Amplifies and clarifies other energies. It’s beneficial for healing, meditation, and protection. We are gridding the exterior edge of your property in quartz to magnify the energies we’ll be trying to encourage within the home.

Step 6: Go to the next corner and bury or place the next quartz point. Then, follow the same process to the last two corners.

Step 7: Once the quartz points have been distributed we’ll place the black tourmaline. If you’re in your yard, you’ll head inside for this step. Find the northern-most corner of your home and place the first black tourmaline piece in a place where it won’t be disturbed. Protection, it creates a shield deflecting and dispelling negative energies, entities, or destructive forces. It guards against radiation and environmental pollutants, and is highly useful in purifying and neutralizing one’s own negative thoughts and internal conflicts, and turning them into positive, usable energy. We’re placing black tourmaline at the borders of your home’s building in order to keep out negativity and strengthen the home’s energetic boundaries.

Step 8: Continue to place the black tourmaline pieces in the corners of your home until you’ve placed the pieces in all four corners. Continue to hold the intentions of this grid as you place the stones.

Step 9: Once the boarder grid has been completed

Bring the green aventurine and place it in a room that associates with child or your room

We’re placing green Aventurine here because it brings optimism and a zest for life, allowing one to move forward with confidence and to embrace change. It enhances one’s creativity and motivation and encourages perseverance in maneuvering life’s obstacles. Green Aventurine energetically stimulates the physical growth of infants, young children, and teenagers. It increases overall vitality and enhances the intellectual development of children.

Step 10: Next, we’ll take the sodalite and the rose quartz to the very center of the home (or as close as we can get). We’re placing these two stones at the center parents. We’re adding sodalite because it is a calming crystal that activates the heart chakra and helps in understanding your team better. Sodalite promotes intuition and a trust in one’s own judgment, which can be a great ally in daily life. Sodalite helps to achieve emotional balance, releasing old conditioning and programming of the past which no longer serves. The keywords for Sodalite are: teamwork, spiritual development, productive creativity. Place the sodalite somewhere out of site in the center of your home.

Step 11: Finally, we’ll place the rose quartz at the center because Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Rose quartz is often associated with mothers and it helps in creating a steady feeling of love and appreciation throughout the home.

Step 12: Once you’ve placed the final crystal, take a moment to settle yourself and imagine your good intentions filling the home and extending to the very corners of your property. Take one more deep breath and know that your crystals will carry and imprint your intentions.

Sprituality or Practicality

During the pandemic in a zoom webinar, a student mention that he had been exposed to a different speaker who focused on “the spiritual”. It had never before occurred to me to make that distinction when discussing the Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought. To me, the universal, spiritual truth of the Principles is exactly what makes them practical.

 Why does clarity about a spiritual truth lead to effective practical work? Three reasons came into focus:

Understanding the Principles completely erases our bafflement about human behaviors.

Understanding the Principles empowers us to confidently navigate our lives, no matter what.

Understanding the Principles allows us to interact with others in a loving way, regardless of their state of mind.

 

I’ll take them one at a time.  First, before I understood the Principles at work behind all of life, I was constantly blindsided by other people’s unpredictable behaviors and totally unaware of my own. I was in business. I would have cordial meetings with potential clients or associates, and expect that they would follow through a certain consistent way, only to have them behave entirely differently at a subsequent encounter. I had no way to deal with that. It never dawned on me that people act differently in different states of mind, and that the “reality” they see changes dramatically as their tension rises and their mood drops — i.e., if they become more or less insecure. Nor did I realize that something that appeared “cordial” to me when I was in a calm and easy state of mind might look suspicious to me in a low mood. So I always felt like I was being buffeted about by reactions I couldn’t control or understand. I never saw the role of my own variable states of mind in my understanding of what was going on. Without realizing it, I lived in perpetual anxiety about where I stood.

As soon as I realized that the Principles represented Universal Spiritual Truth about all human beings, all the time, it all made sense to me. I started to pay more attention to my own and others’ states of mind, and pay less attention to the details of low-mood thinking. If a client called me in an upset, insecure state of mind, I saw it as my role to help the client calm down and clear his/her head — not to join in the upset and try to solve a problem that, of course, looked insoluble to a distressed person.

This was incredibly practical. First of all, my clients and colleagues now seemed understandable and innocent to me. I stopped wasting time worrying about issues that cropped up from bleak, discouraged states of mind. I stopped taking anger or frustration personally. I saw the ups and downs of myself and others as just part of life, and I knew better than to jump into the depths with people when they were at their worst because I knew it was temporary, that their thinking would change and their perspective would brighten, and we would have a chance to work things out easily in a higher state of mind.

My whole business changed completely with that insight alone. I lost all my fear of facing difficult situations. I knew, deep down, that I, and everyone in my life, had innate health. I knew that if I did not feed bad mood thinking or fuel the flames of insecurity, the tone would quickly shift and we could accomplish things readily. We all became a lot happier and more productive.

Second, when I realized the universal truth of the Principles, I lost my fear of the unknown, I didn’t react to my own insecure thinking, and I felt like I knew what I was doing, even when I was down. It no longer seemed like life was pushing me around; I saw clearly that I, and only I, was creating my experience of life. Life was not happening to me; it was happening through me, as I often share. Just being absolutely certain that I was the thinker of my own thoughts, the creator of my own life story, took all the pressure off me. If I didn’t like the way things were turning out, I had the power to change direction. I was able to relax and look at all life situations, good and bad, with equanimity.

What did that mean, practically speaking? It meant I was no longer too insecure to change when I saw new possibilities. It meant that I no longer saw risk as frightening. It opened whole new worlds to me, personally and professionally, allowing me to follow my heart, not confine myself to what my fears defined as “safe.”

Third, no one seemed threatening, or difficult, or hard to work with, or mean. Like all of us, I had some insecure thoughts that lingered in the realm of “reality” for me, but honestly, in each moment, I just started loving every person I was with, regardless of what they were doing. This made it possible for me to work successfully with clients or colleagues others might have avoided. It eased the way to forgiving others, and myself, for moments of insecurity.  It felt to me that I saw through the surface and into the sweet and innocent purity of the spiritual energy of each person, the “formlessness before the formation of form”, to quote Sydney Banks,  that gives each of us the potential for a fresh start in every moment of our lives. I gained increasing faith in the potential of every human being on earth to be at peace, and the confidence that this could come about easily in a moment of insight.

So looking at the world now, for example, I am saddened by the level of fear and insecurity that is drawing so many people into horrendous, dark places. But that does not shake my faith in the fact, the practical, absolute fact, that this can change. Will it? I don’t know. But the truth that it can, that it is just as likely for a person’s veil of fearful thinking to lift as for it to remain in place, allows me to continue happily in my work, hoping to touch one soul at a time, and hoping those souls will reach out and touch others, and we will, ultimately, bring quietude and joy to light across the world.
