While checking out a great website this morning called "The Mind Unleashed" Mrs. Cog stumbled upon a wonderful posting of theirs. In the ultimate form of web flattery I am cross posting their posting of the Polish artist Pawel Kuczynski, who in turn was posted on imgur.com
I credit WilliamBanzi7 of Zero Hedge with teaching me about the value added to my articles when carefully selected images are strategically inserted. As is often stated a picture is worth a thousand words....and occasionally several million. It was a lesson learned and practiced to this day.
Whether you like them or hate them, there is no denying these images by Pawel Kuczynski are thought provoking and original. Whatever you do please click here and view them.
Sometimes we have trouble seeing the forest from the trees. While it is most certainly important to understand the details and nuance of whatever subject matter we are presently studying, it helps immensely to pull back from time to time and see the bigger picture.......especially when we are attempting to comprehend The Grand Illusion.
Neil Kramer's latest missive, "Invisible Empire", does precisely that. With broad strokes Neil brilliantly illustrates both the popular 'myth' and a succinct alternative explanation, along with some narrative to bring even greater perspective. This is Neil Kramer at his best.
I was fortunate to discover Neil Kramer relatively early in my initial awakening, that point when we are all consumed with finding answers and still not quite aware yet that the key is to ask better questions.
Particularly better questions of ourselves.
In order to ask those questions we must constantly seek out a broader, more encompassing perspective, which in turn requires gaining a better understanding of ourselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally and psychologically. This is where Neil Kramer proved so valuable to me back then.........and with the benefit of additional perspective, even more so today.
For those who are just beginning the awakening process, how much information is too little and how much is way too much? While the answer varies from person to person I have personally struggled with finding the right balance when addressing that audience.
So it was a genuine pleasure to be directed to the following article by Zen Gardner (thank you LionLady) and find that, at least from my point of view, a near perfect balance had been struck by an obviously talented and inspired writer.
I often say that I have not an original thought in my head, but that the construction of the words I use to represent my thoughts are. While I cannot speak to other author’s original thoughts I do love to read their particular construction in the same way I enjoy viewing a complicated building project upon completion. There is much to learn if only we would look and listen.
With that in mind from time to time I will cross post those articles, essays and excerpts that I find interesting, enlightening or just plain fun. Introducing a new Two Ice Floes feature appropriately named "Perspectives" which you can now find along the top navigation bar.
