Ideas don't belong to us. We don't "have them" - we're just the vessel they flow through.

Ideas find their way through you when you're living at the edge of their [[Adjacent Possible]]

This is how Newton and Liebneitz both discovered Calculus independently. Living on same edge.
[[Alan Watts]] bridge "The Universe Peoples"

From one of my all time favorite poets [[Kahlil Gibran]]

Great addition

Mind is a falible thing - I almost misattributed the poem to Kabir - had to pause & google to check

Just now went looking to see if I had a thread on [[On Work]], which is probably my [[Thus Far Lifetime Favorite]] poem, and saw that 4.5 years ago I did!

Kabir and Kahlil from totally different parts of the world -- but I read them both for first time in a magnificent Google doc from @MikejNorman, which is where I discovered the overwhelming majority of my favorite poems.

Almost all love poems or poems about God, mostly both.
"On Work" is pretty close to a sacred text for me.

To the point that I once put each line in an Anki Deck to try and commit to memory...

I did not have an Anki routine ahead of time though and forgot I was trying to memorize it before I succeeded, may try again w Roam SRS now.
Dave Chappelle is a Mystic and a man of God.

He walks the path, he quiets the ego, he listens to what the universe tells him and he lets the idea drive.

Sometimes the message is about George Floyd, sometimes it is about Pussy Juice.

Its the same walk.

Jung saying same thing.

Tangent - I want to understand Jung more in next 3 years.

Maybe this year.

Maybe next 3 months.

My sense is there is a there there

This is why I work with the door open.

Teaching others your hard won knowledge gives them a more powerful language to turn around and teach you.

Was too independent for the indy researchers panel today (regrets to @mariodgabriele and awesome folks gathered who wanted to see me)

Did not see/plan for it in my schedule.

Conclusion - finally ready to hire a personal assistant.

Requirement 1 must be happy with strange hours
