Let's flip the script!! Solopsistic myopia for all!!!

It is easy to focus on the negative.

It is easy to be critical.

I know this blog will be hard for a lot of people to stay tuned to. Because my subject matter, much of what I write about, challenges and cajoles the status quo (to Sarah Palin's crew - another one of those "Latin" words).

And, believe me, I want to have more to do with my life,  more interests, than picking at you.

So, I am going to be clear in my blogs when they are critical (you might say negative/pessimistic); also, I am going to endeavor to write a lot of positive things here. Uplifting, useful, kind, easing.

Educated skilled peoples are clumping more together. We are segregating more than ever. Utopic community is either elite or meta-elite. We are individualistic and solopsistically caving to the center.


Instead of worrying about incredible amounts of people we are sharing the planet with in today's age, I'll celebrate the beauty of their births, their individual spirits, the diverse cultures they describe!

 Fear, stress, irrationality: Let's flip the script!! Solopsistic myopia for all!!!

Actually, health, breathing, meditation, silence. The simple silent moment that exists eternally...

Life after death? How about life before Earth?

We all have our version of near death experiences.

I say this because no matter what else has happened to you - you were born once.

Not everyone wants to believe in higher powers, afterlife, the size and depth of the universe, God or gods; and that is ok. Sometimes it is fun to just get the perspective from those who DO though.

I adopted 25 years or so ago the Zen mantra for life's stages, Birth, Sickness, Aging, Death

My own experiences are different.

I do not know death. I am not very preoccupied with it either. I have known the other stages; and, about 20 years ago I experienced the transit of birth, death, and beyond during life.

People in cultures that consider and meditate on death fear it and are less likely to obsess on it.

Basic Ingredients of Passing down Wealth: Remain educated, buy/invest in your pension, think insurability

Fun article if you have been wondering how peoples who have accumulated or been given wealth maintain it; or, how to generate wealth and security for your future generations. Invest in Education. Build pensions and secure insurance portfolios. Fund a secure inheritance for your children.

Our family is doing this in small unconventional ways. I am happy to personally share some of our story (offline) if you would like to know it or you think it might be of interest to you. In a nutshell, we are doing all of this in ways that are not spoken to by the limited scope of these generalized POV articles that try to shape 100's of millions of people with a shrunken graph of 10% cohorts. But, the basic concept is certain: People of wealth continue to have a huge leg up on people without.

Basically, ask your self, how are you insuring your family. What is a pension you can buy into? What are the ways to attain the best possible education at the correct investment cost?

Where do you live? Why are you living there? What is it giving you and your future generations?

Perspectives: Eleven 100-year Flights in a Millisecond

I was visiting a hyper red giant, and I didn't have long; so my eleven 100-year flights took a millisecond.

Traveling at 980 miles per hour, in jet plane mode - time gives me more perspectives as we only want to count in years until that is not enough; until we loose impossible lengths of time to moments.

Massive Space explodes into mere milliseconds.

More perspectives we yearn for years over these micromoments.

Tensions of subatomic disappearance appear and fade away.

The distant rumble of the universes laughter - a fading memory.

Maybe your needs are more civilized? A vacation to the Andes mountains. Wine country of Mendoza, Argentina. Next winter - flip the script.

I just wrote the blog enticing you to bring your family or friends on an adventure to the heart of the Amazon. Then I posed the question to myself - where does the other group want to go. Here is another travel story.

So I went back over my list of favorite places. Mendoza is one.

What is drawing you across the globe?

Adventure? Backpacking? Climbing? Maybe your needs are more civilized? A vacation to the mountains and the wine country of Mendoza, Argentina. A simple relaxing get away. Just somewhere delightful and warm when winter comes back? Next winter - flip the script.

Not only is the wine country rich in lovely vacation spots - but the climate is perfect for a winter getaway. No winter! Zero. Actually, they have plenty of winter, but their calendar is the opposite of ours, meaning the next time you are drowning in the wintry blues, they are peeking at fall through the lens of summer beauty.

Come down to Mendoza. Visit the Andes. And, bonus, it is easy and scenic to cross over and see Chile, (Santiago, Valparaiso, and Isla Negra) all on the same two - five week adventure to the wine country!

Bring your fantasy vacation to South America. Don't feel comfortable figuring this out? Let us be your guide. We know the countries, the regions, the cultures. We speak the language. And, we will cost you the same as anywhere else by offering you more; more contact, more authenticity, more local, more time, more of us!
