Knowledge is Power

image228

The mind is like your own personal control panel. It is a masterpiece of creation that is capable of anything it is applies to. It can assess any situation. It can compartmentalize and prioritize. It can plan out the future and examine the past. The mind is capable of maneuvering through time and space because it is part of the fabric of our universe. The mind can influence reality and summon imagination into physical existence. Within our minds we hold the power to create whatever life we align ourselves with. The limits of our minds create the limits of our lives so it is important to push those limits. That is where knowledge comes into play. The more knowledge you have at your disposal the more capable you are of making wise decisions. Therefore, the best investment you can make in yourself is to learn and reprogram your subconscious mind. We need to learn how to utilize the power of our minds to overcome the programming we are all exposed to and create lives that align with our inner values.

The relationship between the education system and the professional world is somewhat of a trap. The system we live in requires certain skills to help it operate. It needs people to prescribe pills, people to manage stocks, and people to play politics. You can therefore go to school to be a doctor, a stock broker, or a politician. All of which are honorable professions (except perhaps the politicians). Personally I just received my BS in Mechanical Engineering. I chose engineering because I am passionate about innovation and wanted to get involved with . I wish I could say that my education encouraged me to invent the next big thing. I wish I could say that the educational system informed me on the state of the world and me to develop new solutions. However, that has not been my experience. We are simply educated to fill into the system already in place. We are given problem sets and midterms but we are not inspired to think outside the box. In fact, we are discouraged from approaching problems from different perspectives. We all fall in line because we want to get the grades and the degree but the sad truth is that we are being groomed to serve a system that doesn't represent us. It can be easy to get caught up in the pressures of the professional world. People obsess over money and often ignore personal passions to pursue the career that they associate with success. What is money if you don't love what you wake up and do every day? That should be the true measure of success. How excited are you to go through the motions of your life? How can a person work towards a fulfilling life that aligns with their true nature? Sometimes the secret to getting what you really want is to shift your perspective. Slow down sometimes and get real with yourself. Meditate on your true intentions. Allow yourself to stop hurrying through the maze of the professional world and get to know yourself. When we understand ourselves we can imagine the circumstances that would make us happiest and we can do what it takes to achieve that vision. As a person opens their eyes to the power of the mind they can begin to understand the infinite possibilities of existence. Let's consider the metaphor of rats being placed in a maze. The rat with his head scanning the ground is at the mercy of the maze. He is covering lots of ground but he isn't necessarily getting any closer to the exit. However, the rat that stands up and takes in all the paths can begin to plot his escape. Maybe he can astral project over the maze and find the path to the exit. Sometimes the key to escaping the rat race is to stop racing. You don't always have to walk down the wrong path to realize it's wrong. Learn from the mistakes of other people. Commit to self improvement and chase your dreams. The path to your dreams will not be an instant realization. There will be stepping stones, corrections, and perseverance. However, if you commit to your dreams, believe in yourself, and use the power of the mind you will find yourself living them.

The rat with his eyes planted on the ground can only make two choices. Left or right? Again and again the maze forces the rat to choose between two options and it is difficult to imagine that there is anything other than this choice. Our society is captivated by this polarity. We make everything a choice between this or that. Yes or no? In or out? Work or Play? Science or Religion? Republican or Democrat? Capitalism or Communism? Don't get caught in the duality of this three dimensional world. To recognize that there is always another option is a powerful realization. If someone says you must choose between two options you can hear out both options and then choose neither, or both. The secret is to equip yourself with knowledge and then apply that knowledge to your life. Think for yourself. Find a path to success that works for you. Make up your own mind about the life you want to live and then go do it.

Intelligence

image231

Intelligence is a funny thing. In the modern world it can be easy to equate intelligence with financial success but I'd argue that intelligence has less to do with your external world than it does with your internal world. What are you made of? Are you a scrapper? A schemer? Are you a master finesser? A survivor? Do you look after your people? Can you couch surf like a pro? Do you have an ear for music or a knack for interior design? Can you make friends easily? Do you have a smile that guarantees a generous tip? Can you roll with the punches? Do you know when to bite your tongue and when to let 'em have it? Are you a thinker? Are you an observer? Are you a grinder? We all have our own unique way of surviving in the modern world and these examples all represent different forms of intelligence. We don't give people enough credit for the wide array of innovative problem solving we demonstrate and all the unique ways we find understanding. “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”-Albert Einstein.

image232

I think Stephen Hawking put it best when he stated that, "Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change". To conceptualize this quote, imagine kidnapping two investment bankers and dropping them on separate sides of a remote island. One of the hypothetical investment bankers  begins constructing a shelter, gathering food, and searching for signs of human civilization on the island. He is a clever man and he uses his resourcefulness to construct a fishing rod for food and a spear to protect himself. He survives long enough for a passing cruise ship to help him aboard and he escapes the island. The other banker realizes that his phone doesn't have service and begins to accept his imminent doom. He is overtaken by the dangers of life on the island and quickly dies off. In either case, the two hypothetical test subject's knowledge of banking serves as little to no use in the island circumstances. The two bankers ingenuity and problem solving skills are being put to the test. It's entirely  possible that the banker who survived in his shelter was much farther down the pecking order at work than the banker who could not adapt to the elements. Maybe the surviving banker was a temp. Times of change are when true intelligence is revealed.

image233

Which brings me to my next point, we are living in times of extreme change. The world as we know it is falling apart and each of us must find our own way through. It's a time of revelations. The genuine pursuit of knowledge is our best tool we have to leave a better world for the generations to come. That is why I built this website; there is so much to learn and so much more to unlearn. If we are to search for the truth we need to open our minds and research the things that make us uncomfortable. We need to look within and we need question the teachings of our education system. We need to set loose the inquisitive mind and encourage people from all ideologies to come together in the search for truth.
