Tell Me What You Want...What You Really Really Want

What are you thinking about right now? The Law of Attraction states that “whatever we think about, we bring about”. This law may initially seem like new age fluff but believe it or not, there are scientific merits to this proposition. The top quantum physicists of our time have discovered that our universe and our reality is very much directed by the “observer”. When studying quantum particles (the smallest observable unit of matter), these scientists discovered that such particles behave in accordance with the person conducting the experiment. It the scientists “predict” that quantum particles behave in a certain way, they do. And yet, ... Read Full Story

Have you ever thought that lots of tribal skirmishes in third world countries escalated into wars simply because the industrialized nations sold more advanced weapons to them? Some of the battles between rival tribes were fought with clubs or machetes until somebody sold them M-16s or AK -47s or Uzis. The arrival of the new weapons made the killing more efficient. If the speed of killing could have been contained to club and machete level, fewer people would have died before someone could have negotiated a peace treaty. I have no idea if this is true, but I have often wondered why the Russians ... Read Full Story

One of the problems we are witnessing right now is the limits of acceptable behavior in pursuit of success. And perhaps we had to go to extremes to test our own sense of right and wrong. Consider, for example, some of the execs at Enron, the mortgage companies, the junk bond dealers, Bernie Madoff and a host of others. They wanted to be rich. So do lots of people want to be rich. Who wouldn't like to have so much money in the bank that you can go anywhere you want, do anything you want, have anything you want? Who wouldn't want to be ... Read Full Story

Back before Daddy Bush invaded Iraq the first time, I knew he would do it. In the years after the Vietnam war, they spent lots of money developing weapons for fighting in the desert. Vietnam stuff was engineered for fighting in the jungle. Would the military and their suppliers spend billions of dollars developing a new generation of tanks, hummers, drones, lasers, GPS and more and not find a place to test them out? If we look at the history of inventions, we see a pattern. When new inventions are created, one of the first customers for them are the military. This is not ... Read Full Story

Having worked in a number of different jobs during my life. there I will make an observation based on my experience, about how types of work affect us. I have noticed that people who work in non-profits such as charities, environmental groups, or community service organizations are often possessed of a sense of mission and compassion that differs from much of private industry. Frequently a characteristic you find among people who are serving what they feel to be an important purpose are willing to work long and hard for average wages and the whole time are consumed with an attitude of wanting to do ...
