Finding Fuscata

A friend of mine asked me about this quote from Wallace Wattles: “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. A person can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.” He wanted to know what the "thinking stuff" is. I thought you guys might like what I wrote. Get some popcorn. It's a long one again! Do you know that old joke: Two young fish were swimming upstream and met an older fish swimming downstream. The older fish said, "How's the water today, boys?" and kept swimming. The younger fish looked at each other and said, "What's water?" The "Thinking stuff" he's talking about is sort of like that, and we're sort of like the fish. We're so compl

Should men be holding space for women, and do we need to restore the patriarchy?  There is a growing number of young men leaving gyms. It doesn’t sound like much of a problem, but the reasons are strange. Many of them cited the fact that women in the gyms are too scantily clad. They’re tired of the tight, tight shorts and low cleavage making it hard to concentrate on why they went to the gym - to work out. One young man said to me, “How am I supposed to focus on my deadlift form when there’s a fine woman on her hands and knees in front of me doing leg raises?” Add to that the trend of women filming men who stare at them, or the trend of women approaching men for phone numbers, and it’s easy to see why men are leaving gyms and working out at home.  It got me thinking about where these trends might lead. Given the global economy, the likelihood of global war - but a modernized, computerized version of it - and some undercurrents in modern feminism, I started to wonder what is happening a

I heard an interesting take on Law of Attraction vs Law of Assumption. For a long time, in my mind, I thought these were very different things. Law of Attraction is all about vibrations and attracting that which you are. It's about the mirror principle and taking inspired action. But then the Law of Assumption is about living "as if". If you're familiar with Neville Goddard, you may remember his mentor saying, "You ARE IN Barbedos, and you traveled there first class!" This is also in line with what Jesus of Nazareth said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." To me, these always seemed like a contradiction. How can it be that I need to raise my vibration in order to attract something, but at the same time, as soon as I ask it's already mine? The new thing I learned is that these two laws are the opposite sides of the same coin. And that coin is called your identity. It's

Have you heard this expression: "The thing you are seeking is seeking you"? I recently found a book titled  Reality Unveiled by Ziad Masri. The first words are "What you seek is seeking you." This concept was so profound to me when I first understood it. Let's make three assumptions together to work out this hypothesis: First, we're human which means we are mammals which means we evolved here on Earth. Second, nature, along her evolutionary path, has developed a lot of ways for things to go from the unreal to the real. Babies that weren't here last year are here now. Plants that didn't exist a month ago are in my garden now. There's a never-ending cycle of things popping in and out of existence. Third, humans have the unique capacity to envision our future and develop tools and methods of making those visions a reality. If you can agree to these things, then check out this hypothesis: The fundamental drive of any species - plant, animal, or other

What if we have the concepts of dimensions wrong? What if we’re looking at it backwards? Nassim Haramein, an accomplished physicist, helped me see the fallacy of dimensions. See, we believe that we live in three dimensions, but the more I learn about it, the more I see that’s actually impossible. In Nassim’s explanation, when he first learned about dimensions, his teacher told him “it all starts with a point, but that point is imaginary”. Then we have two points which form a line, or the first dimension, then three points which form a plane, or the second dimension, then a fourth point which gives depth, or the third dimension. Nassim’s problem with this is that if each of the points is imaginary, then how can it construct things that aren’t imaginary? And I take Nassim’s question one step further and ask this: Most physicists contend that we live in a three dimensional world, and that the fourth dimension is “time” or “duration”. This is because duration is the aspect of dimensions th

We finally got home from the beach! What a trip! Me and the fam Sunrise this morning Horseshoe crab! This trip was truly a blessing. It was our second annual family trip to the Jersey Shore. My father-in-law, Rodney, rented a shore house large enough for the whole family to come - Kelly, her sister Megan, her brother Patrick, and their spouses and kids. Plus this year we had Rodney's mother, Theresa with us - she's slowing down at 89, but still has a wicked sense of humor! At the beginning of this trip, I was struggling with a few things in my marriage. I made a post about it here and wanted to let you know what I've learned. For several months now, maybe even years, I've been struggling in my marriage. This is my third marriage, and I struggled in similar ways before. My issue is that I had a fundamental distrust of women. If you've followed me at all, you'll remember some of the breakthroughs I've had in my journey here with RCA. My default position was th
