Throughout all the ups and downs of my life; during my times of greatest inspiration, as well as those of equally great disappointment, there’s been one very simple thing which has always helped to keep me centered, and which I feel quite confident in recommending to really anyone out there reading this. The thing I’m … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 113: Meditation

500 WORDS, DAY 112: Words
It is true that when one is alone one can reflect. As Manly P. Hall said, life’s experiences are the elements the philosopher experiments with. Everything is mental, and perception largely shapes the way in which we see and experience the world. When we can get our mind into a state of observation, of witnessing … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 112: Words
500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It
Time moves forward regardless of our opinions. The days are shorter and the past is fading. Every day farther away. Everyone claims to know the truth, yet we all are truly blinded, if not by one thing, then definitely by another. Illusions. Mind games. Division. Reality is too real to ignore. It isn’t healthy to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It
500 WORDS, DAY 110: Working With Waves
There’s something about the whole process that comes with working with audio hardware, which includes connections of all kinds going back and forth to and from different places, each one with its own specific function, all working together to create something new, blending together in so many infinitely different and unique ways, making the possibilities … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 110: Working With Waves
500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written
You tremble as you sit in the dark contemplating your mortality. The invisible hand of God hovers over your head. Death is certain, and the time it will come is unknown. Unknown until it comes. Then when it comes, it stays unknown. At least to the human brain. I don’t know if we know how … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written
500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
It seems to me like life really does come down to perspective. While a case can be made for the idea that life is good and that therefore human beings are ultimately good, there’s also quite a case to be made for the idea that humanity and the planet are ultimately evil and corrupt. Although … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
500 WORDS, DAY 107: Keeping One’s Inner Child Alive
Aldous Huxley, one of my favorite writers, wrote about the importance of keeping one's inner child alive even through the hardest of situations. What is so unique about a child's perspective on the world? Well, one thing I think makes a child's perspective on life not only very unique and fresh, but also quite wise … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 107: Keeping One’s Inner Child Alive
500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)
Stream of consciousness. I guess I’ll start with this though I just thought of: It reminds me of an audiobook I really love by Ram Dass, titled The Journey of Awakening. It starts out describing a typical person’s morning, waking up and finding oneself bombarded by “a raging, roaring river of thoughts” about everything from … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)
500 WORDS, DAY 105: Less is More
Less is more. I mean, it’s not always the case, but it certainly applies to a vast number of situations, and it’s a wise saying that I think more people should take time to consider. The problem is that the fact that less is often more isn’t always obvious to us, since we’ve grown up … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 105: Less is More
500 WORDS, DAY 104: Thanksgiving
I’m thankful to each and every single person out there who decided to read this post. I’m thankful not exactly because you read this, but because you had the chance to read this, meaning that you’re alive to read it. I hope you stay that way. I’m thankful for every single person I’ve ever met … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 104: Thanksgiving
