Ed Roberts Quotes

La strada non presa Due strade divergevano in un bosco d'autunno e dispiaciuto di non poterle percorrere entrambe, essendo un solo viaggiatore, a lungo indugiai fissandone una, più lontano che potevo fin dove si perdeva tra i cespugli. Poi presi l'altra, che era buona ugualmente e aveva forse l'aspetto migliore perché era erbosa e meno calpestata sebbene il passaggio le avesse rese quasi uguali. Ed entrambe quella mattina erano ricoperte di foglie che nessun passo aveva annerito oh, mi riservai la prima per un altro giorno anche se, sapendo che una strada conduce verso un'altra, dubitavo che sarei mai tornato indietro. Lo racconterò con un sospiro da qualche parte tra molti anni: due strade divergevano in un bosco ed io - io presi la meno battuta, e questo ha fatto tutta la differenza.

Oh, Ed!" Mom exclaimed. "It's a Victorian.

È la realtà che risveglia le possibilità, e nulla sarebbe così assurdo come negarlo. Tuttavia, sommate o in media, quelle che restano sono sempre le stesse possibilità destinate a ripetersi, finché non arriva un uomo per il quale una cosa reale non è più importante di una solo pensata. È grazie a lui che le nuove possibilità acquistano finalmente il loro senso e la loro determinazione, ed è lui che le risveglia

In jargon nobody ever does anything, feels anything, or causes anything; nobody has an opinion. Opinions are had; causes result in; factors affect. Everything is reduced to vague abstraction. The writer can even abolish himself, for jargon never sounds as though anybody had written it; it seems simply to come about, as from a machine, and it talks mechanically of things that come about, through some indistinct interaction of forces.” —Robert Waddell, “Formal Prose and Jargon,” in Modern Essays on Writing and Style 84, 89 (Paul C. Wermuth ed., 1964).

The man who to untimely death is doomed Vainly would hedge him in from the assault of harm; He bears the seed of ruin in himself.

Bless something small but infinite and quiet. — Robert Creeley, from “A Prayer,” The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1945–1975. (University of California Press; 2nd ed. edition October 23, 2006)

Spleen Je suis comme le roi d'un pays pluvieux, Riche, mais impuissant, jeune et pourtant très vieux, Qui, de ses précepteurs méprisant les courbettes, S'ennuie avec ses chiens comme avec d'autres bêtes. Rien ne peut l'égayer, ni gibier, ni faucon, Ni son peuple mourant en face du balcon. Du bouffon favori la grotesque ballade Ne distrait plus le front de ce cruel malade; Son lit fleurdelisé se transforme en tombeau, Et les dames d'atour, pour qui tout prince est beau, Ne savent plus trouver d'impudique toilette Pour tirer un souris de ce jeune squelette. Le savant qui lui fait de l'or n'a jamais pu De son être extirper l'élément corrompu, Et dans ces bains de sang qui des Romains nous viennent, Et dont sur leurs vieux jours les puissants se souviennent, II n'a su réchauffer ce cadavre hébété Où coule au lieu de sang l'eau verte du Léthé // I'm like the king of a rain-country, rich but sterile, young but with an old wolf's itch, one who escapes his tutor's monologues, and kills the day in boredom with his dogs; nothing cheers him, darts, tennis, falconry, his people dying by the balcony; the bawdry of the pet hermaphrodite no longer gets him through a single night; his bed of fleur-de-lys becomes a tomb; even the ladies of the court, for whom all kings are beautiful, cannot put on shameful enough dresses for this skeleton; the scholar who makes his gold cannot invent washes to cleanse the poisoned element; even in baths of blood, Rome's legacy, our tyrants' solace in senility, he cannot warm up his shot corpse, whose food is syrup-green Lethean ooze, not blood. — Robert Lowell, from Marthiel & Jackson Matthews, eds., The Flowers of Evil (NY: New Directions, 1963)

Ritual abuse diagnosis research – excerpt from a chapter in: Lacter, E. & Lehman, K. (2008).Guidelines to Differential Diagnosis between Schizophrenia and Ritual Abuse/Mind Control Traumatic Stress. In J.R. Noblitt & P. Perskin(Eds.), Ritual Abuse in the Twenty-first Century: Psychological, Forensic, Social and Political Considerations, pp. 85-154. Bandon, Oregon: Robert D. Reed Publishers. quotes: A second study revealed that these results were unrelated to patients’ degree of media and hospital milieu exposure to the subject of Satanic ritual abuse. “In fact, less media exposure was associated with production of more Satanic content in patients reporting ritual abuse, evidence that reports of ritual abuse are not primarily the product of exposure contagion.” Responses are consistent with the devastating and pervasive abuse these victims have experienced, so often including immediate family members.

After Tolkien I went after C. S. Lewis. After Lewis, it was Lloyd Alexander. After them came Fritz Leiber, Roger Zelazny, Robert Howard, John Norman, Poul Anderson, David Eddings, Weis and Hickman, Terry Brooks, Elizabeth Moon, Glen Cook,

Non v'è praticamente pensiero importante che la stupidità non sia in grado di utilizzare; essa è mobile in ogni direzione e può indossare tutte le vesti della verità. La verità ha invece una sola veste e una sola via, ed è sempre in svantaggio.

Trying to find the footsteps of the morning before you, just something to follow, you caress the gorgeous infidelities that make you free. — Robert Kelly, from “Studying Horses,” American Poetry Since 1950: Innovators & Outsiders, ed. Eliot Weinberger (Marsilio Publishers, 1993)

Being a brash entrepreneur, Roberts responded to the crisis by deciding to launch a whole new business. He had always been fascinated by computers, and he assumed that other hobbyists felt the same. His goal, he enthused to a friend, was building a computer for the masses that would eliminate the Computer Priesthood once and for all. After studying the instruction set for the Intel 8080, Roberts concluded that MITS could make a do-it-yourself kit for a rudimentary computer that would be so cheap, under $400, that every enthusiast would buy it. “We thought he was off the deep end,” a colleague later confessed.112 Ed Roberts (1941–2010).

The roots of the slasher movie stretch back to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960), based on Robert Bloch’s book of the same name. While Bloch stated many times that his book was based on the real-life crimes of Ed Gein, far more clippings were found in his files regarding Wisconsin’s infamous children’s entertainer and serial poisoner, Floyd Scriltch. When Hitchcock purchased the rights to Bloch’s book, he also optioned the life rights from the sole survivor of Scriltch’s infamous “Easter Bunny Massacre,” Amanda Cohen. Cohen was instrumental in the detection and capture of Scriltch and paid a heavy price for her bravery. This book is dedicated to her memory.

Esiste una diversità fra dolore e sofferenza: ciò che impariamo dal dolore - per esempio, che il fuoco scotta ed è pericoloso - è sempre individuale, mentre ciò che impariamo dalla sofferenza ci affratella, ci fa sentire parte della razza umana. Se sperimentiamo solo dolore, senza sofferenza, ciò che impariamo serve solo a noi stessi. Il dolore senza sofferenza è come una vittoria senza battaglia

Ulrich lesse da qualche parte, primo inaspettato alito di un’imminente estate, l’espressione «il geniale cavallo da corsa». Questo è certamente un segno dei tempi, giacché non sono passati ancora molti anni da quando l’appellativo di ammirevole spirito virile era riservato a un essere il cui coraggio fosse coraggio morale, la cui forza la forza di una convinzione, la cui fermezza quella del cuore e della virtù; un essere che giudicasse la velocità una ragazzata, la finzione qualcosa di illecito, la volubilità e l’entusiasmo atteggiamenti assolutamente contrari alla dignità. Ma ormai questo essere non esiste più: lo si ritrova soltanto fra il corpo insegnante dei ginnasi e in dichiarazioni scritte di vario genere. È diventato un fantasma ideologico, e la vita ha dovuto cercarsi un nuovo modello di virilità. un cavallo e un campione di pugilato sono per certi versi addirittura superiori a una grande intelligenza, nel senso che le loro prestazioni e il loro valore possono essere misurati con incontestabile precisione, ed è veramente il migliore tra loro che viene riconosciuto come tale; in questo modo lo sport e l’oggettività sono meritatamente arrivati a imporsi sugli antiquati concetti di genio e di grandezza umana.

Cosa si può fare," disse, "se si dedica la vita a smascherare i criminali, e a poco a poco ci si accorge che i veri criminali sono quelli per cui si lavora? Cosa si può fare quando tutti ti dicono di non preoccuparti perché tanto non ci puoi fare niente ed è successo molto tempo fa?" Adesso Charlie lo guardava in un modo diverso. "Immagino che si perda la ragione." "Oppure può succedere di peggio. La si può trovare.

Il Dr. Paul Arnheim non era soltanto un uomo ricco, era anche uno spirito superiore. La sua fama trascendeva il puro fatto che egli era l’erede di un giro d’affari di portata mondiale; nelle ore d’ozio aveva scritto libri che, nei circoli più avanzati, venivano giudicati straordinari. Le persone che fanno parte di tali circoli puramente culturali sono superiori al denaro e ai privilegi della borghesia; ma non si deve dimenticare che, proprio per questo, sono colte da un particolare entusiasmo quando un uomo ricco diventa uno dei loro; e, oltre tutto, nei suoi programmi e nei suoi libri Arnheim annunciava niente meno che la fusione di anima ed economia, vale a dire di idea e potere. Gli spiriti sensibili, dotati di un sottilissimo fiuto per il futuro, proclamarono che egli univa in sé quei due poli, nel mondo solitamente separati, e alimentarono la voce secondo cui stava nascendo una nuova forza, chiamata a dirigere ancora una volta verso il meglio i destini del Reich e, chissà, forse anche del mondo. Infatti, che i principi e i sistemi della vecchia politica e diplomazia stessero scarrozzando l’Europa verso la tomba era da tempo una sensazione universalmente diffusa, e s’era già iniziato in tutti i campi l’allontanamento degli esperti.

A volte penso che abbiamo fatto un grande giro per tornare a calpestare le vecchie orme. Siamo ancora sotto l'ombra dell'albero di Matthew Arnold, a contemplare i pinnacoli di Oxford, con attorno la quieta campagna inglese. Campi e campanili. Com'è conciliante e ordinata questa natura. Popolata da creature innocue e laboriose, regolare e placida come l'Oxfordshire. - indicò i pascoli. - Siegfried l'ha capito, sai. E' per questo che apprezza le mie poesie e le pubblica sul giornale. E' l'orrore che si scorge in trasparenza. Non c'è bisogno d'essere modernisti per vedere i crateri delle bombe in mezzo ai prati. - Ma non possiamo scrivere della guerra per sempre. - ribatté Robert. - Io vorrei che Nancy illustrasse i miei versi. Voglio scrivere per Jenny. C'è qualcosa davanti a noi, il resto della vita, la famiglia, i figli. Si trattenne. Chiese scusa. Ed parve non farci caso. - Siamo come talpe. - mormorò. - Abbiamo scavato il nostro buco su questa collina e sbirciamo fuori, chiedendoci cosa ci sia laggiù. Laggiù c'è ancora la guerra. Ci sono i mostri. Facciamo finta di non saperlo, ma ci stringono d'assedio.

Boccheggiò e si alzò in punta di piedi. «E a che cosa hai pensato?» sussurrò, lasciando che le sue dita esplorassero ogni muscolo della schiena di Robert. Non avrebbe mai pensato di poter essere così timido, soprattutto non dopo averlo aggredito con la sua nudità al loro primo incontro. Che avrebbe pensato Rob di lui e del suo corpo? Del suo odore, della sensazione che provava mentre Ethan lo stringeva, del modo in cui si adattava tra le sue braccia forti... Robert ridacchiò e si allungò verso il ripiano di vetro per prendere dello shampoo dal profumo fresco; cominciò a sfregargli la testa, con gli occhi così concentrati su di lui che Ethan si sentì come se fosse l'unica persona rimasta sul pianeta. «Wow... è una domanda difficile. C'è così tanto che... che cosa vuoi sapere?» Sorrise a quelle attenzioni; Rob era così premuroso che lo faceva sciogliere di più ogni minuto. Aveva sempre pensato che Robert Hunter, il quarterback della squadra di football, così figo e sicuro di sé, sarebbe stato una persona più diretta ed egoista, nell’intimità. Invece le sue azioni ogni tanto facevano vergognare Ethan di essere così avido

Aidi non capirà mai quel che provo perché lei è trincerata nel suo fortino. ‘Ho paura che il nostro rapporto sarebbe troppo esclusivo, e ti voglio tantissimo bene ma ho paura di dare.’ Potrebbe dirmelo. Perché lei ha un altro passato, un altro alfabeto, altre rime la fanno sorridere. Siamo irrimediabilmente diversi, ed è bello incontrare gente diversa, ma forse è impossibile capirla fino in fondo. Come in quella canzone incredibile dei Cure dove lei è bellissima e il povero la guarda ammirato e lei si sente offesa e Robert Smith dice: ‘Ecco perché ti odio’.

The prescribing of stimulants to ADHD youth began to take off in the 1980s, and today, thirty years later, studies have failed to show that this treatment helps children grow up and thrive. In a 2012 op-ed published in the New York Times, Alan Sroufe, a professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Child Development, told of this bottom-line finding: “To date, no study has found any long-term benefit of attention-deficit medication on academic performance, peer relationships, or behavior problems, the very things we want to improve…. The drugs can also have serious side effects, including stunting growth.

I did not understand my complex of feeling. Particularly as she was saying, ‘Yes, I’m sorry I ever met you. Ever. If I hadn’t I wouldn’t have to go through this Awfulness, the awfulest part being that I’ll remember you. Always.’ — Robert Penn Warren, from “Goodbye,” Uncollected Poems 1943-1989, The Collected Poems of Robert Penn Warren, ed. John Burt (Louisiana State University Press, 1998)

Ed è quando si è innamorati che si vive davvero nel presente: quando ogni istante è una scoperta, ogni minimo dettaglio è intriso di significato. Il lutto, invece... il lutto è il contrario del significato; il lutto è uno spazio dove il presente non respira; dove il passato si estende a perdita d'occhio; è quando ogni istante muore prima ancora di arrivare. Robert Webb "Due volte il primo amore

La inteligencia resuelve los problemas y produce dinero, pero el dinero sin inteligencia financiera desaparece pronto.

Si trabajas por dinero, le cedes el poder a tu jefe. Si haces que el dinero trabaje para ti, puedes conservar el poder y controlarlo.

Ahora ocúpate de tu propio negocio. No renuncies a tu empleo pero comienza a comprar activos.

contabilidad (educación financiera o capacidad de leer números y evaluar los puntos fuertes y débiles de cualquier negocio); inversiones (ciencia y estrategias de la generación de dinero a través del dinero mismo); comprensión de los mercados (ciencia de la oferta y la demanda, y de las condiciones de los mercados); y la ley o derecho fiscal (ventajas fiscales y protección frente a demandas).

Contabilidad La contabilidad es el alfabetismo financiero o la habilidad de leer números. Es un talento fundamental y necesario para quien quiere construir negocios o hacer inversiones. 2. Inversiones Invertir es la ciencia de hacer dinero con dinero. 3. Comprensión de los mercados La comprensión de los mercados se refiere a la ciencia de la oferta y la demanda. Alexander Graham Bell le dio al mercado lo que este quería. También Bill Gates lo hizo. Vender una casa de 75 000 dólares que se ofrece a 60 000, y que costó 20 000, también es resultado de lo que sucede cuando se aprovecha una oportunidad creada por el mercado. Alguien quería comprar, y alguien más quería vender. 4. La ley La ley es el conocimiento de la contabilidad, el sistema corporativo, y de las regulaciones estatales y federales. Te recomiendo que obedezcas las reglas del juego.

The music of the Lyre, in Greek legend, cast such a spell that Orpheus charmed every living creature with it, even persuading the grim guardians of the Underworld to allow him to rescue his beautiful wife Eurydice from the Land of the Dead. Having been warned to cast no glance upon her until the couple had safely reached the upper world, Orpheus unfortunately lost Eurydice at the last moment by disobeying the fateful order. The story is one of the most popular of the Greek legends, and was the subject of the opera Orpheo ed Euridice by Gluck in 1762, and a ballet by Stravinsky in 1947.

Las dos emociones que siempre controlan la vida de la gente son el miedo y la codicia.

Los pobres y la clase media trabajan por dinero. Los ricos hacen que el dinero trabaje para ellos.

Se fai le vacanze in motocicletta le cose assumono un aspetto completamente diverso. In macchina sei sempre in un abitacolo; ci sei abituato e non ti rendi conto che tutto quello che vedi da quel finestrino non è che una dose supplementare di tv. Sei un osservatore passivo e il paesaggio ti scorre accanto noiosissimo dentro una cornice. In moto la cornice non c’è più. Hai un contatto completo con ogni cosa. Non sei più uno spettatore, sei nella scena, e la sensazione di presenza è travolgente. È incredibile quel cemento che sibila a dieci centimetri dal tuo piede, lo stesso su cui cammini, ed è proprio lì, così sfuocato eppure così vicino che col piede puoi toccarlo quando vuoi - un’esperienza che non si allontana mai dalla coscienza immediata.»

General Robert Scales penned an op-ed for the Washington Post claiming that serving officers “are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense. None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it.”[6]

Kennedy’s influence was cut short by the assassination, but he weighed in with a memo to LBJ. The problem, Kennedy explained on January 16, was that “most federal programs are directed at only a single aspect of the problem. They are sometimes competitive and frequently aimed at only a temporary solution or provide for only a minimum level of subsistence. These programs are always planned for the poor—not with the poor.” Kennedy’s solution was a new cabinet-level committee to coordinate comprehensive, local programs that “[involve] the cooperation of the poor” Kennedy listed six cities where local “coordinating mechanisms” were strong enough that pilot programs might be operational by fall. “In my judgment,” he added prophetically, “the anti-poverty program could actually retard the solution of these problems, unless we use the basic approach outlined above.” If there was such a thing as a “classical” vision of community action, Kennedy’s memo was its epitaph. On February 1, while Kennedy was in East Asia, Johnson appointed Sargent Shriver to head the war on poverty. It was an important signal that the president would be running the program his way, not Bobby’s. It was also a canny personal slap at RFK—who, according to Ted Sorensen, had “seriously consider[ed] heading” the antipoverty effort. Viewed in this light, Johnson’s choice of Shriver was particularly shrewd. Not only was Shriver hardworking and dynamic—a great salesman—but he was a Kennedy in-law, married to Bobby’s sister Eunice. In Kennedy family photos Shriver stood barrel-chested and beaming, a member of the inner circle, every bit as vigorous, handsome, Catholic, and aristocratic as the rest. By placing Shriver at the helm of the war on poverty, Johnson demonstrated his fealty to the dead president. But LBJ and Bobby both understood that Shriver was very much his own man. After the assassination Shriver signaled his independence from the Kennedys by slipping the new president a note card delineating “What Bobby Thinks.” In 1964, Shriver’s status as a quasi-Kennedy made him Bobby’s rival for the vice presidency, but even before then their relationship was hardly fraternal. Within the Kennedy family Shriver was gently mocked. His liberalism on civil rights earned him the monikers “Boy Scout,” “house Communist,” and “too-liberal in-law.” Bobby’s unease was returned in kind. “Believe me,” RFK’s Senate aide Adam Walinsky observed, “Sarge was no close pal brother-in-law and he wasn’t giving Robert Kennedy any extra breaks.” If Shriver’s loyalty was divided, it was split between Johnson and himself, not Johnson and Kennedy.

Por qué los ricos se vuelven más ricos: ¿Qué es realmente la educación financiera?

Everett was a loner, but he liked people too damn much to stay down there and live in secret the rest of his life. A lot of us are like that—I’m like that, Ed Abbey was like that, and it sounds like this McCandless kid was like that: We like companionship, see, but we can’t stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again. And that’s what Everett was doing. “Everett was strange,” Sleight concedes. “Kind of different. But him and McCandless, at least they tried to follow their dream. That’s what was great about them. They tried. Not many do.

20 In 1932, Adolf A. Berle and Gardiner C. Means, lawyer and economics professor, respectively, published The Modern Corporation and Private Property, a highly influential study revealing that top executives of America’s giant companies were not even accountable to their own shareholders but operated the companies “in their own interest, and…divert[ed] a portion of the asset fund to their own uses.”21 The only solution, concluded Berle and Means, was to enlarge the power of all groups within the nation who were affected by the large corporation, including employees and consumers. They envisioned the corporate executive of the future as a professional administrator, dispassionately weighing the claims of investors, employees, consumers, and citizens, and allocating benefits accordingly. “[I]t seems almost essential if the corporate system is to survive—that the ‘control’ of the great corporations should develop into a purely neutral technocracy, balancing a variety of claims by various groups in the community and assigning each a portion of the income stream on the basis of public policy rather than private cupidity.

The 20th Century has added little to the tradition. Charlie Manson, called the “LSD madman” by the press, was able to convert his followers to believe that he was both Jesus and Satan only after he had supplemented that acid diet with heavy doses of these deliriant drugs, especially belladonna and jimson weed (the American botanical cousin of mandrake). According to Ed Sanders’ account of the Manson cult, The Family, one of the disciples suffered a 40-point IQ drop after a few belladonna trips with Charlie, and is now in a California mental hospital.

point, they have moved beyond something we could write off as incompetence, in that they are allowing (and even forcing) mass use of products they know are harmful. At this point, powerful people in public health and Pharma are in full cover-up mode. They almost have to be, because it’s hard to imagine how they could pivot from what they’ve done to what they ought to do. At this point, the negligence is criminal. Ed Dowd

He can’t be,’ agreed Ed. ‘Not to come when Mum was dying, not to attend her funeral. James and his wife had twin boys last year, and he’s never even met them.

Desarrollar la inteligencia financiera toma tiempo, pero entre más lo hagas, más oportunidades se te presentarán.

De hecho, ya en muchos hospitales de países con sistemas médicos socializados se tienen que tomar decisiones como: “¿Quién vive y quién muere?” Para colmo, estas decisiones se toman con base en la edad y la cantidad de dinero que tienen los pacientes. Si el paciente es demasiado anciano, por lo general lo ignorarán por atender a alguien más joven, es decir, lo harán a un lado. Como los ricos tienen acceso a mejor educación y también a mejor atención, podrán mantenerse. Los más pobres fallecerán por falta de recursos.

Now I carry those days in a tiny box wherever I go. I open the lid like this and let the light glimpse and then glance away. There is a sigh like my breath when I do this. Some days I do this again and again. — William Stafford, from “Remembering,” The Darkness Around Us Is Deep: Selected Poems, ed. Robert Bly (HarperPerennial, 1993)

Recent research by Ed Diener, a leading happiness researcher, found that positive and negative affect, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction all level off when household income reaches $40,000–$60,000 per year.14 This is additional evidence that more money does not necessarily mean greater happiness.

William spent the winter of 1066 in England while his wife ran Normandy, and when he and his cronies returned to France in the spring the Parisians were ‘dazzled by the beauty of their clothing, which was embroidered with gold’. The new Norman elite were vastly wealthy; according to a 2000 Sunday Times estimate Bishop Odo, who was given Kent and land in twenty-two counties, was worth £43.2 billion ($52 billion) in today’s money, which would put him ahead of the most rapacious third world kleptocrat. William’s other half brother, Robert of Mortain, was worth £46.1 billion ($56 billion) while William of Warenne a staggering £57.6 billion ($71 billion); he held lands in thirteen counties. The new king was richer still, but despite William being staggeringly wealthy, the Godwin family had been probably even richer than he was.

Obviously this worldview would end up having a destructive influence and cause countless deaths, but the warlikeness of the northern French helped them to expand across the West, so that by 1350 twelve of Catholic Europe’s fifteen monarchs were Frankish in origin.4 During this period the entire region became Frankified, which is why you probably know someone called William, Charles, Henry, Robert or Richard but not many Eadrics or Hardicnuts, and also why Europeans today are known generically in various Asian languages as ‘firang’ (in the Vietnam War this is what the locals called the Americans). And the Franks were not only the prime movers in the Crusades but in places like Spain and today’s Poland they led military campaigns against Muslims and pagans, and were ruthless colonists in Ireland and elsewhere.

Look at how we can make snow, or water, or mist!” Ed showed me the most sophisticated animation tools ever invented, technological ingenuity that enabled creativity at its highest form. This yin and yang was the soul of Pixar. Everything flowed from it.

You could forgive Brenner a lot, once you saw what 'e'd witnessed, what 'e'd been through . . . but that's true of everyone really, innit? Once you know, ev'rything's explained. It's a shame you often don't know until it's too late . . .

In the perception of our world, we are the code makers that conditions love while also being a conduit of love that resolves the codes. As soon as we incarnate, we metaphorically become two lovers trying to find each other. One part searches life looking for our Soul. The other part is our Soul looking for experience. We are always approaching ourselves any way we can, trying to find ourselves and it’s important to remember that we can’t avoid this search. As humans, we are bound to the search. When we look outward for our lover, we encounter experience. When we look inward for our lover, we find resolution. We long for our own doppelganger, our Soul mate. We can’t avoid the search because that is the setup. We are the prodigal sons and daughters actualizing our Soul urges through the experience of life on earth and then turning inward resolving our life on earth by returning home to the source of love that is the “all parent” that gave us life.

Consider that the real purpose for lack is making places ready to be filled with love. Our attitude makes the lack seem negative, but lack is really for receiving. Choice is about filling these spaces with love or aspects of our lives that we love. We can fill lack with judgment, being a victim, remorse, or even anger, or we can fill lack with love. When we push against our sense of lack, it creates a focus that attracts more lack. We see that lack has its own perfection in the way we choose. Since we are beggars with our lack, why not beg for love. The challenge of a reflective reality is that we generally expect love to come from someone else. We miss the reality that filling up with love can arise within us and flow from our transcendence.

Author and Texas-based entrepreneur David Thomas Roberts expressed the sentiments of the vast majority of Texans when he wrote: “Our income and our labors are taxed and redistributed to those who won’t work, to inefficient and corrupt governmental agencies, to programs that might violate our faith and to morally despicable foreign governments―of which many hate us despite the money we give them.” “This marriage has run its course,” agrees author Paul Vandevelder in a 2012 op-ed for the Los Angeles Times. “Too many niggling little things built up over time, driving us all crazy. So let’s just stop. It’s time to divvy up the china and draft a property settlement.” The
