  • Reality check

    Does your behavior and speech reflect the your greatest ideals?
    Are you making enough of an effort to make those ideals a part of your daily life?

  • Today’s Questions & Sane Mandate

    How we can address the past in the present?
    How can our present thoughts, and aspirations improve conditions that we set up in the past?
    Is there any truth that we should espouse that will bring us peace of mind?
    Is there any idea that we want to embrace that will bring us the happiness we seek?
    Do we want to live in harmony with nature and the universe or is it just enough that we have the car, house, spouse, job and life that was supposed to make us happy?
    Where is the line drawn that says we have had enough of a sham life, enough of a sham existence, and a sham prosperity dream?
    Let’s be at peace with the possibilities and open to the potentialities.

  • Thy Noblest Self

    To thy noblest self be true
    Is it true that we have more than one self?
    Or is it true that we have more than one nature?
    Or is it true that how we are, how we behave may vary from day to day and from hour to hour depending on our mood, our ability to deal with the stresses that come our way, our quality of self control, our depth of self understanding, and what is expected of us by ourselves and others?

  • For sooth

    For sooth I say the worlds of wisdom unfold from my words of lofty insight.
    I can with protracted skill derive an inventive interest in deep and abiding jaunts in a serious quest for answers and responses that will further define and refine my essential strengths and superior qualifications.

  • Introspection

    When you frame the questions correctly, adequately, completely, thoughtfully, meaningfully, deeply, and profoundly the answers will be windows to more questions.

  • Destiny Time

    When you are ready to fulfill your destiny the pieces of your possibility puzzle will come together.

  • FBI Bites the Apple

    Apple could accommodate the FBI by cracking the encryption and then write the code to program that possibility out of the OS in the next version. After reading this, I had to reconsider that approach.

    https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/02/technical-perspective-apple-iphone-case

    “EFF supports Apple’s stand against creating special software to crack their own devices. As the FBI’s motion concedes, the All Writs Act requires that the technical assistance requested not be ‘unduly burdensome,’ but as outlined above creating this software would indeed be burdensome, risky, and go against modern security engineering practices.”

    With this in mind, and the fact that we live in a world where the good and bad people all have phones and can use them to suit their own purposes, perhaps in the future Apple will devise a way to design the OS and the encryption software in such a way that encryption cracking can be done but the backdoors can be totally walled up in succeeding versions of the OS and its encryption.
    I imagine that as digital technology continues to develop, a workaround in the sticky wicket of the digital wilderness will be devised to accommodate the good, the bad and the ugly intentions of users.
    Perhaps in the future, the ultimate security protocols will be built into the OS and will dynamically analyze the usage habits of the phone user and be able to detect the nature and strength of character, moral inclinations, and the bio-chemical stability of the brain.

  • Digging deeper than ever before.

    How can we dig deeper?
    How can we dig deep into ourselves?
    How will we dig into ourselves?
    What will we find if we dig?
    What does the digging do for us?
    The deeper we dig, the more authentic, natural and real we will become.
    Write until you can think of nothing to write, then keep writing until you find yourself expressing what you really understand and how you really understand, not the regurgitation of what you’ve read and heard, but an actual experience of a truth, understanding, or idea that shaped who you are, and is being reshaped by what you are.

  • Expanding into the moment

    It goes deeper than what I thought they thought.

    It turns out that whatever they thought was of inferior quality and does add anything substantially useful to the enlightenment of the world.

    What you do or think must make a positive difference for all.

    What you do or think must work for all.

    Do and think unto others what you would have them do or think unto you.
    This makes an even greater impact than you may have expected it too.

    This is extraordinary. This is a milestone. We have come to a point where the thoughtless comments of a few influential knuckle heads no longer has the usual discouraging effect on the emotional state of the rest of us.

    It’s instructive if we bear in mind that the personal quirks of a few murky minds who have been influencing the quiet, introspective types with their illusions are merely reflections of a more widespread phenomenon whose stultifying effects can be avoided by regularly and frequently exposing our minds to more thoughtful conversation and clear thinking.
