He did do very much to achieve his dreams and invented astonishing theories. It seems that potheads do things that they see a reason in doing, I cant imagine a pothead happily joining the army or something:D Although I agree It is might be hard to bring a better example of people who don´t act.

And frees up the mind to do more. The contact doesn't have to be physical. Every event generates a wave. Multiple waves from different points always have a center. That center is imploded through and everything twists around it. The virtual implosion force passes through the center + the twist and "inspires" more events. More contacts build more diverse resonance and expand the unity of the field. More things can grow. There is more being added into everything being grown.

Video games can be used for good and evil alike, I guess. @アメド: I don't suppose there are any sites with pictures of Chinese signs, are there? Does anyone on here know of anything like that? I'd do it myself if I was still in a part of the world that has signs written in Chinese. @Khatzumoto: Not to detract from another great article, but your videogame analogy falls apart somewhat when faced with the massive organizational structures knows as “guilds” in massively multiplayer games.

This is so true, but I see so many people (albeit with good intentions) setting out an AJATT curriculum on sites such as the 'reviewing the kanji' forum. I think it's because people have this have this curriculum idea ingrained into their head with years of school- like you've said "no pain no gain" syndrome. For me, I use the idea "if it tastes bad, spit it out". I suppose it's with anything though, get enough followers and the original text becomes the gospel, anyone that sways is a heathen sinner. Keep up the great posts Khatz. You always have great points to make, it's just that you're your own worst critic lol.

First I was writing them down like most sources tell you to, but I noticed I didn't really remember them that well and they weren't flexible/clear enough. After thinking about it I realized a very simple solution; I've had my own "fantasy realm" for a long time, one of those places you make in your head so you can think of it when you need to relax, etc. I had put in some stuff that deals with basic principles like "help other people" and so on. Anyway, what I did was now I put in more concrete guidelines, for example how I prioritize my goals right now. First thing I did was in the "take care of time" section I put in a computer with a 9 on it, meaning I won't use the computer past nine in the evening unless it's especially important or if I'm over at a friend's place. It's really helped me in making the constant choices, I always know what I want to do and it's easy to weigh different results against each other. At the same time, I can mentally modify it all whenever I feel the need to. Regarding resolutions, I got the exact same feeling at New Year's when there was resolution talk going on. It's just, if you only could see it how I see it you'd feel so helpless. Actually, something I thought of regarding holidays in general; I'm happy when I want to. Christmas is special in many ways to me but I won't claim that it's "worth" more than any other days. It's weird how most people let themselves be told that these days are extra important to their individual lives just because their culture happens to have been celebrating them for so long.
