@gal africana: Come over to the audio visual side gal….come on over…I enjoy writing but the process of editing writing is…..shall we say, challenging. I like the editing process in sound and video much better hence my proclivity towards them when I can help it.
Yup, every single post I write I usually finish a day or two, sometimes even up to 9 days in advance and when I put it in the scheduler I always release it in a time that adds up to 7, my favourite being 3:04 a.m. Check out the time that posts come out, you’ll notice it’ll almost always be 2:05 a.m. or 3:04 a.m. or 4:03 a.m. ( GMT + 10h) including today’s which will be released at 3:04a.m.

Meme is done! dude! lol

No worries about the podcasts…I might miss you enough so I actually listen to them Do your thing!

I think we all know what’s right for us…Eckhart says things in one way…there are other ways to relay the message that are different but the same…we all just have to find our cups of tea.

Do you really post your articles so the time adds up to 7?

@gal africana: Yes, me and Mo can’t get left out in the cold like this, we need more folks to join our meme movement.
Tim does challenge normal conventions and that’s one of the reasons I love him. When I first heard about Tim and the 4h workweek it just seemed like Internet marketing hype. What’s surprised me is how empirical and scientific he is about what he does…anyway I can rave on and on and on about Tim, I listen to his podcasts at least 3-4 times a week. Actually while we are on the topic of Ferriss, I may as well apologize prematurely to you, from some time this week or next week for a month or so I want to do video posts, hence very little written word, about me walking through the Four Hour Workweek book because I really want to test out Tim’s brilliant ideas.
As for the Power of Now, I would probably wait a couple of months, I am just not at the stage in life where I need someone like Tolle, I’ll probably read his book together with other books that come highly recommended, Slow Burn, Egoscue Method, books by David Deida etc etc once I have finished trying out Tim’s ideas and stuff in the exercise, health and wellness field. I haven’t had an existential crisis or yearning in years and don’t see myself having one soon.

yup…message taken…have to do meme. It’s tough stuff.

Ok this in NOW getting spooky! Everywhere I go, I here of Eckhart Tolly and the power of now…I must say I’m enjoying “A New Earth” immensely.

I still have to finish listening to the Ferriss book…I keep on writing everything he says down…the new rich rules are fabulous…but they go against what we’ve been indoctrinated with…I think thats why it’s taking me so long to finish it..I literally have to “take down the house, clean the bricks and build the house again”

Those PUA’s get their stuff from the best teachers…I found out about “Think Grow Rich” and Anthony Robbins from one of the master PUA’s.

where can I see the time at which you post your articles?

@njeri: Have you read the Da Vinci code? An interesting idea proposed by that book is that a lot of the Agnostic books spoke of “divinity being in us” and other philosophies that are very shall we say Eastern.
I have heard of the book, “the Power of the Now” and you’ll never believe it but the first place I heard about that book was from the pick up artist community as a great guide to staying in the moment when approaching women. Personally, the book never had great appeal to me because I have experienced “being in the moment” and “being spontaneous” and “flow” many times in my life and I don’t think I am deficient in it, but it’s definitely one of those books that’s been recommended a lot of times by quite a few sources so I think eventually I’ll have to pick it up and give it a read.

Mwangi: Yeah me too… been there done that !! but still with the consciousness of wanting to know and do better. Oftentime the conflict is quite raw since one is trapped in christian teachings which advocates for nirvana or salvation/heaven later on and the present teachings which advocates for the here and now. I am inclined to believe in the here and now more since logically its all we have as human beings. I believe that we all are spirit or energy and are more connected than we are separated. I am in the course of learning/ experiencing more. But from this junction am really fascinated by what am reading…quite interesting. Mwangi pls read the ‘Power of Now and Here’ if ya haven’t and if you have pls reflect on the message without feeling any guilt….after all we humans have options and choices.

@njeri: I think you’re not alone in being one of the many Africans who are finding ways to blend Eastern philosophy and religion with understanding of Christianity. Any huge conflicts so far?
If you look at the post I did on “Erwin Mcmanus” you see just how much I loved the parable of the talents and the alternative interpretation that Erwin put on it, so I also love understanding the parables.
My journey is much more shallow than yours. The main thing that kept me away from Christianity in my teenage years was because I wanted to be liked by the cool people and because I wanted to get laid. So, from a young age, I was constantly looking for reasons to justify what I perceived to be my eternal damnation.
Of course that led to me finding out about all the “biblical difficulties”, the existence of 1500 denominations, not to mention cults that all spoke to the fact that there wasn’t one Universal way to understand and reach God.
At some point however, I made a decision that if when it’s all said and done there is a hell, there will be a corner for me there, but that won’t stop me for being thankful for all the Lord has blessed and will continue to bless me with or trying to do work that’s in alignment with his Kingdom. I think my steps are leading closer and closer to being saved as opposed to further as I get older.

Mwangi: It’s interesting that you have opened up on how you never read the bible but now …To come to the point I have read the bible my entire life and at one point was a born again christian. But as time went by decided that that life was not so for me because i wanted to explore. But that never affected the way i felt about God and spiritual matters. Interestingly enought i continued with the quest of seeking/flinding God until finally i came about the buk ‘new earth’ by Eckhart Tolle…Just bought the ’seat of the soul’ by Gary Zukav….and ‘the value in the valley’ by Iyanla Vanzant…i have also read many other buks that touches on how we can live according to the universal order or the here and now. Therefore my understanding of the bible is very strong from this pespective. I thought that the bible was too restrictive and rigid but am surprised to learn the deeper meaning of all what Jesus was saying in his parables. I believe it’s because of reading these buks and having a different approach to this message …anyways i’ve gained more insight and have became more open minded.
