Steve Jobs’ Legacy

This piece has been doing the rounds, enjoyably. Food for the mind and a little fire for the soul, yes:

1. Yes, you can make a difference

Anyone trying to achieve real change — in life, in a company or in any organization — probably feels the urge to give up half a dozen times a day. The naysayers and seat-polishers will do everything to slow you down. No one is suggesting that what Apple achieved was the result of Jobs alone, but his career is proof of just how much one individual can change things.

2. You need a vision

It’s not enough to conduct opinion polls and customer surveys, and rely on consultants’ projections. Those are all based on the conventional wisdom and the world as it is today. Jobs imagined things — most obviously the iPod, and the iTunes services — that didn’t yet exist and for which the market was uncertain. While his competitors were still building the products of yesterday, he was imagining, and building, those of tomorrow.

3. It’s not about you

It’s horrifying how many business decisions are still made on the assumption that “well, we have to do something with XYZ division, so let’s give them this project” or “Buggins has seniority so he’s in charge.” Do you think the customer cares about Buggins or XYZ division? Jobs built Apple into a streamlined operation, focused on the output, nothing else. Continue reading →

The Human Mind Has Infinite Capacity

It’s been my teaching these 40 years that we know EVERYTHING. To function in this universe, we must simply choose to not-know (a verb) most of it.

But it’s all in there. We just don’t use it. No, I’m not talking about not using 90% of our “brain”. This has nothing to do with the brain.

I’m talking about the knowing of spirit, which is to know EVERYTHING in the hologram. We are using only a trillion billionth of what we potentially know.

Is this claim outrageous? Well, it doesn’t fit the silly prattlings of the brain-is-mind crowd. But it’s true, to all intents and purposes. As a clue to what’s possible, consider the phenomenon of savantism.

A savant (from the French savoir, to know = wise, clever) is someone with genius capabilities. But the extraordinary thing is, this only occurs in people who’s brain is malfunctioning. Autism, for instance, seems to throw out a rich crop of brain damaged savants.

It’s an idea I will take further with you, in the unfolding of my Kreissenetics™.

That’s not to promise we can all become savants. But I do promise you we could all try harder!

Meantime, take a look at these two YouTube videos, which feature amazing savants. They are inspiring! Continue reading →

The Physics Of Guru!

You’re gonna love this! It’s amazing…

This is something I learned from my friend Cyril Smith, at Salford University.. with a twist on it that he missed!

An adult man standing with his arms outstretched above his head is approximately the right size for a quarter dipole aerial at a radio frequency of 10 metres wavelength, 30 MegaHertz frequency.

So what? That just happens to be the longest wavelength that will reliably reflect around the underside of our atmospheric layer called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is what makes ham radio possible: bouncing signals around to any part of our planet (electromagnetic waves, remember, travel in straight lines).

Now also, if I human were able to somehow cohere all the power that he/she omits, it’s quite possible to get a burst of up to 1 kilowatt (harder to sustain it). That’s plenty of power to transmit radio signals.

So, this may be yet another “Goldilocks effect” (physics that works “just right” for human life). Because it means that we are the right size and can generate enough power to transmit our personal energies to anyone on planet Earth.

The bit that Cyril missed (he’s never published it anyway) is that arms outstretched like that is the classic guru or priest posture for influencing the masses. That means gurus can transmit and their message will reach anywhere! [could apply to the Nazi salute, too, I’m thinking] They really do sway their followers by transmitting a real signal, acknowledged by physics. Nothing woo there!

The problem is, not the transmitting, but the receiving. Out of all the “noise” that’s pumped into our electromagnetic environment, how do we tune into the exact signal we are seeking?

More on that later.

One last point: LOTS of people standing with their arms outstretched could create a much more powerful transmission. Mexican wave, anyone?

We are radio human.

Happiness is the journey but where to?

There’s a great saying by the Dalai Lama: happiness is the journey, not the destination. It rightly emphasizes that happiness can never be postponed; you don’t wait for something to happen, in order to become happy.

In fact people who think only: “I’ll be happy if she changes her ways,” or “I’ll be happy once I’m rich,” are never going to be happy. Fact.

Relying on outside sources to be happy is a sure way to postpone happiness forever!

Real happiness, real contentment, is enjoying your journey towards some desired goal.

I love riding steam trains (it’s a thing I’ve had since I was a kid, OK?). But I couldn’t care less where we are going to! I love the sound of the engine, the smell of steam and hot oil, the rumble of the trucks and carriages… It’s the journey that inspires me! That’s my idea of steam happiness.

But of course, the train has to be going somewhere. So the destination comes into it. It’s the same in life. Continue reading →

Study Can Save The World!

I first wrote this piece in 1992 (almost 20 years ago, well ahead of the pack). It made a profound impact with one radio station in Monte Carlo, where I was living at the time. Apart from adding one sentence about electronic toys, which were barely on the horizon at the time, it’s pretty much as I wrote it.

Imagine being asked how you would save the world; what answer would you give? How could you justify it? For the sake of this discussion, it might be simply said that the only thing really wrong with our world is Man and his insane depredations, which threaten both him and the ecosystem on which he depends.

We are therefore talking about a way to limit or prevent human madness from manifesting its extreme destructive potential, or better still, eliminating it altogether, so that we collectively and individually think rationally and come up with survival strategies, that are supportive and empowering decisions which enhance and nurture our civilizations, instead of blighting and destroying them or the planet.

Suppose you were limited to just one approach to the challenge and nothing more; you had to decide upon a  course of action that you could foresee would, taken to its ultimate conclusion, free the world of all its misery and ills, so that wars, disease, poverty, injustice and strife became a thing of the past.

Do you think it is even possible to come up with such a comprehensive plan of action? Should we try – or are there very good reasons to leave things as they are and let history take its course?

If it is agreed we should make this gallant attempt, what factors would you try to eradicate or change? What positive qualities would you try to introduce? People have had many ideas of this kind in the past, which sadly haven’t worked. So in this line of questioning we would have to be sure we knew how these failures had come about and how to conquer the factors that had caused all those worthy earlier efforts to fail.
