04.22.09Putting Dollars On Sunshine – The Unquantifiable WorldBy Steve Mills Our mind constantly narrows the stream of input it receives down to definitions, conceptions and categories. It makes it easy for our brain to manage the wide complexity of modern life, and make predictive decisions and inferences about what is currently happening. I am sure that we have evolved this way with good reason, and I bet we were doing it back when we all lived in caves or the wild grassland of prehistory. Our minds treat objects not as they are, but as abstract categories of things. Men are treated with a certain subset of behaviours, women with another. ...

04.15.09Remixing God: A Special Theology of Relativity – Part 2By Seamus Anthony Continued from Part One Everything Is Appropriate The above three words were scribbled on a whiteboard in the office of Feedwell Café. Feedwell, now closed down, was a famous, old, ramshackle vegetarian joint in the hipster suburb of Prahran in Melbourne, Australia. It was the spring of 1998. I had been working in the cafe for a week, squeezing vege juices for hungover groovers and health conscious yuppies. Next to the words was a very crude drawing of five or six interlinking lines that basically looked a branch of a tree. “What’s that all about?” I asked Alan, the cafe owner. Alan was ...

04.08.09How To Find Your True Life Purpose (And Make It Pay)By Seamus Anthony So you've downloaded our free eBook, Curly's Law, about the need to identify your One Thing, your True Life Purpose - but did you actually read it? And if you did read it - have you managed to actually identify your One Thing? It’s not always easy is it? I gave my method for figuring out my One Thing in the book, but that was just one way. I don't really know what other ways there are, or at least I didn't until I read Brian Kim’s excellent "How To Finally Find What You Love to Do AND Get Paid For Doing ...

04.05.09Remixing God: A Special Theology of RelativityBy Seamus Anthony Part One When Einstein theorized that space and time were not constants but were relative to the observer, no doubt there would have been those who dismissed his views as crazy talk. It can be hard to understand what he meant; he wrote and talked in terms of speeds and distances that are beyond our perceptive capabilities. Well, while unlikely to position me as a modern genius, the following article may similarly come off reading like the wacky ramblings of a nut-job as I try to understand, through the act of writing, God, no less. More specifically, I am ...

04.02.09Why You Always Want MoreBy Seamus Anthony Are you pretty ambitious? I am. And it's okay - some of us are just wired up that way. But the question struck me the other day - and not for the first time - why? Is it because you want 'more' or because you want 'less'? I am willing to place a bet that you often just think about getting more. (It's okay - so do I.) If only you had a bit more money. If only you had a slightly bigger house. If only you had more time. If only you had a more exciting career. If only you enjoyed more health. Yadda yadda yadda. But here's ...
