Happy Yoke, I Spoke

I just got off the phone with Tiona Lotspeich, and to many of you, that is no one. Tiona Lotspeich was my Admissions lady to Brooks Institute (the school I ended up bailing on when I got to California), and it amazed me, that after a year and a half, from our first talks on the phone, she still wants me going to that school. We literally hadn't spoken in a solid 6 or 7 months, and she's talking to me as if it were only yesterday, and as if I still had plans to go to school there. Well I tried my best to let her know that I had no interest of going back, but I don't think she heard that. She said she would call me back. :|



Well I've been listening to this band, Empire of the Sun. They are no, MGMT, but I can certainly see they were definitely an inspiration. Check them out here:

will they be my new obsession? meh

Today, I watched an episode of Star Trek, with my little sister Deborah. It's called "Projections". Without giving too much of it away, the episode helped pontificate further on the video that was on my last post, about our perception of reality, and how we experience it. Something that I noticed about Debby, is that she is very curious, and that she isn't afraid to ask questions. I remember when I was her age, at 12, even then, I too was curious, just like her. When the episode was done with, we ended up having a two hour talk about the nature of reality. I got her thinking. I said, "What if this is all just one dream, a dream so real that we have feelings, and thoughts, and dreams, all the same, a dream within a dream? What if none of us are really here, and we are just projections of a higher self that we can't conceive, because we are the ones being manipulated?". And we joked around a lot, about it. My other sister who was nearby listening to all of this, just kind of rolled her eyes, and told me to fix her car, and do the dishes, so her mind was not in the conversation. Debby, and I had a blast, and I really can't wait to see if she ends up as a teacher, or a professor, or even a scientist someday. She has the most important ingredient inside of her, imagination.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” - Albert Einstein

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” - Albert Einstein

So I tried finding a good copy of it, streaming on the internet, but couldn't. So I put it up on my Vimeo account. This is strictly for my small group of readers, I do not want this to get out of hand, which is why I've made the video private. It is password protected. The password is:

It's a really good episode, and I suggest watching it all the way through. There are several plot twists, even in the last minute, that I wouldn't want you to miss. Without further ado:

"Projections"

I recommend watching this full screen :)

Let's talk after this.
with love, luis.

Many people seek to relive the excitement of the past, instead of renewing the mystery of the moment. They compare their life now to what it once was.

Hello, you are alive now! This is the most important, potentially exciting moment of your life.

Today, be open to the joy and excitement life wants you to experience. Now, right now, this moment.
