Just Passing Through: Observation 56. Important to try. 2030
My friend John visited me in October 2007. He was a rare, true friend. I miss him.
Observation:
The most significant observation in this story is the interconnectedness of life, energy, and dreams. The narrator emphasizes the role of solar energy in powering life and dreams, illustrating how everything is connected in a cosmic dance. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of pursuing our dreams and being mindful of our journey through life.
The Lesson:
Cherish your dreams and the time you have, as life is a fleeting journey through space and time.
How this is Helpful:
Dreaming: Encourages imagination and creativity.
Mindfulness: Teaches the value of appreciating the present moment.
Inspiration: Motivates us to pursue our dreams and believe in ourselves.
Questions for Reflection:
What's My Dream? What are my deepest dreams and aspirations?
How Am I Connected? How do I connect with the world and its energy?
What's My Impact? What legacy do I want to leave in this world?
My friend John and I used to play a game of wits and logic that combines Spy vs Spy from Magazine with the epic dialogue between the Dread Pirate Roberts and the Cicillian. wisdom from Yoda, and a model of the communication cycle.
The game was simple… create a scenario where the other person would react in a predictable way and create countermeasures to steer the future conversation into a specific sentence or idea. This is based on a model of imagined behavior in the other person.
Documentation had to be provided in advance to prove the future conversation was planned.
