State of coherence

Quotes from The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, a book I just finished on the plane back to SF, highly recommended humorous and captivating novel about the current state in India.

"May I just say that an hour of deep breathing, yoga, and meditation in the morning constitutes the perfect start to the entrepreneur's day. How I would handle the stresses of this fucking business without yoga, I have no idea."

"Actually my background as a business journalist made me realize that most of what's written about in business magazines is bullshit--and I don't take business or corporate literature seriously at all."

The Exclusion Principle

An excerpt from Pauli and Jung: The Meeting of Two Great Minds

The exclusion principle was certainly not a swindle. Of far-reaching consequence, it accounts for the periodic system of elements, as found in the periodic table. By analyzing the atomic line spectra of the various elements, Pauli was able to arrive at the principle that accounts for the unique shell structure of the electrons surrounding the atomic nucleus of each of the chemical elements. A key to this scientific achievement was his recognition that the electrons must satisfy four quantum numbers rather than three, as had previously assumed. The fourth quantum number was identified with what has been called an electron spin.
In alchemy as well as in Jung's psychology, moving from three to four symbolizes a completion, or a movement toward the center. In association with modern dreams, Jung saw movement from three to four as symbolizing a stage of inner development known as the individuation process. Pauli saw his discovery of the exclusion principle in that light. Pauli's exclusion principle confirmed Bohr's proposed shell structure of the atom.

Some things I am thinking about these days.....

tending the sacred fire of agni.....

................if love were to look through your eyes, what would love see?

....adopt a neutral position, attitude.....

.....supporting our support system and taking care of our relationships--through this broad spectrum of interconnectedness--we become fully ourselves......

...go with the flow of the people who are going in the right direction...join them...get into their boat...the company you choose will help you in many, many ways....

.....serving others...maintaining your peace--these are the most important things in life
