My Happy Place
Successful people only spend 10% of their time thinking about a problem, the rest on the solution.
Oh... and the movie was weird. I ended up loving it, even if it did leave me haunted.
Have you ever seen a ray of light beam through your window? There's a glowing shaft piercing a darker world, and in that shaft floating particles dance and sway this way and that without any noticeable pattern.
The other day I sat on my bed and watched these particles swirl through the light. Its in these rare moments that we're able to see those swirling energies that fill the spaces in between, the power, the life we can't see, those essences that connect us all. Of course I had to try out my Jedi powers, reaching out with my feelings and asking the particles to come to me. Before my eyes in that ray of light whatever filled that place straightened, and in one continuous flow streamed towards me like a river. I wasn't at all surprised by that.

So I pushed away, just to see what would happen. At first it appeared as a window curtain does when someone moves it to peak outside, the particles lifted, then separated, before flowing in one continuous stream in the other direction, away from me.
I know what you're thinking, this is just ridiculous, nonsense, crazy talk. After all, without seeing it themselves, who would believe it? No one, I know. So I went through the exercise again. Same results.
Take from that story what you will. I know what I believe from it, but then, I always have believed it, and our mind always seeks, and always finds, reasons to prove our beliefs right.
Just before I sat on the bed, before seeing the light, I caught "The Adjustment Bureau" starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. I can't quite put my finger on what it is about her, maybe the whole package, but I'm really into Emily Blunt.
Emily Blunt
The movie is about fate, soul mates and free will, with God running heaven as if its a major corporation, and his "employees" are charged with the task of giving people a slight nudge here and there to make sure we all play our part and everything goes according to plan. To do this they use "doors" that cut through the fabric of the universe, allowing them to move from one side of the planet to another in a moment. Except every once in a while someone (Damon) goes off the path, challenges what fate has in store for them, bucks their destiny, and all hell breaks loose.
Aside from being just a completely excellent movie, I've had these same exact ideas that were in this film floating around in my head, filling my dreams, for the better part of the last two years, right down to the doors, the slight nudges to adjust fate, and the feeling of connection with people as if there was supposed to be something more there, but it wasn't part of the plan, so someone kept it from happening.
Anthony Mackie
There's a line from the film where Anthony Mackie tells Damon "your father was a smart man, very smart, could have been more, wanted to be, but it wasn't part of the plan"
How many times have you felt that way yourself? I know I have many, many times.
Mackie, by the way, is an excellent actor, someone who's been in a lot of films now, but should be bigger than he is. He completely carried "We Are Marshall", which was a film that blew me away. "The Hurt Locker" isn't the same film without him, even if he wasn't the star of the film. His small part in "Real Steel" was well done, and now with this film, in which he's pivotal to the plot, I believe he can play just about any role.
So what did I take out of the entire experience of seeing a film that seemed as if it had been pulled completely from my own head, and turned out to be excellent?
Its Universal Consciousness baby, ever present, all pervasive God Mind. Just like the particles of light floating through the empty spaces, thought, all thought, dance and sway this way and that without any noticeable pattern through our heads, passing from my mind to yours and vice versa even across the great expanse of time and space.
And interesting side note here.... scientists can't explain what light is. Light is light. That's all they can say about it. Light is light. They don't even know where it comes from.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if all we were, all everything is, are nothing more than those particles dancing in the light. How is it then that so few of us know the dance?
Switching gears a bit, the St. Louis Cardinals 2011 Payroll was 105.4 million and they were 11th in payroll. A full 1/3 of the league has a payroll over 100 million. I don't ever want to hear about anyone "buying" championships again.
The former Miss Venezuela, Eva Ekvall, just died of breast Cancer at 28 years old. How sad is that? I'm not about to tell you to think of that and be happy you don't have it so bad as the holidays roll in, I've always felt that that was a bullshit way of looking at the world. But I will say this, this life is the only thing any of us have, or will ever have, that is ever actually ours, and its all special. So be happy about something, whatever it is, and enjoy all of it as much as possible.
Eva Ekvall
Very uplifting, holiday cheery post today, huh? I know. That's why I kept on with the Sexy Santa Ladies today, who otherwise had nothing to do with anything I was talking about, to balance it all out.
But that's it for today.
Later People!
