The motion of Bodies
“The motion of bodies of that size must produce a noise, since on our earth the motion of bodies far inferior in size and speed of movement has that effect. Also, when the sun and the moon, they say, and all the stars, so great in number and in size, are moving with so rapid a motion, how should they not produce a sound immensely great? Starting from this argument, and the observation that their speeds, as measured by their distances, are in the same ratios as musical concordances, they assert that the sound given forth by the circular movement of the stars is a harmony.” from Aristotle, On the Heavens, describing Pythagoreans Cosmology.

Our Place in the Universe
Who is looking at the universe?
The answer comes full circle.
We are actualizing the universe.
Since we are part of the universe,
that makes the universe (and us) self-actualizing.

Keeping a Beginner’s Mind
The mind of the beginner is empty, free of
the habits of the expert, ready to accept, to doubt, and open to all the possibilities . .

Having the Courage to Lead
“We’ve reached such explosive levels of freedom that, for the first time in history, we have to manage our own mutation. It’s up to us to decide what it means to be a
successful human being. That’s the philosophical task of the age. Nothing happens unless YOU make it happen.
As a leader, everything is your responsibility, because you always could have chosen otherwise.”

Advinha-se uma transmutação ... duas vezes na origem. Homem na experimentação ... um dia vos falo da magia ... do que se passa no foco orientado.
Quando as máquinas explodiam em direcção ao céus eu atingia o meu climax, olhava os outros aterrados no fio da navalha ... hoje em dia, basta estar nas mãos da condição humana para estar na calma absoluta.
