THE GLASS IS ALWAYS FULL:

As the old axiom goes, the pessimist sees the glass half empty, while the optimist see it half full. The reality, of course, is that the glass is always full to overflowing—the bottom half with liquid, the top half with air.

If you think about it, it is the half you don’t see—the odorless, colorless, tasteless, invisible gas—that is most vital to us. We can live several days without liquid, but only a few minutes without air. And the more liquid we put into the glass, the less room we have for air.

Essentially, this is true with all of life. It’s not the tangible things, such as our homes and our cars, which determine our happiness, but the unseen forces like love and accomplishment which bring us the most joy and fulfillment.

The next time you look at your bank account and feel your life is only partially full or mostly empty, take a second look. You will probably discover your life is overflowing with those things you need most.

WHY NINJA TURTLES?

Many years ago, I was working on a theory of Simultaneous Conflicting Realities. That is: the idea that something can both exist and not exist at the same time. While I can not see how anything can exist and not exist simultaneously in a singular reality, it is only an unproven assumption that we all exist in only one reality.

Let’s say for instance you believe in UFOs, and I don’t. Isn’t it possible that for you, in your reality, UFOs do exist, while for me, in my reality, they don’t?

Could this possibly explain why some people can do things, such as witch water, while others of us can’t? Could this possibly explain why some people see UFOs while others can’t? Could this possibly explain why some people see things most of the rest of us consider hallucinations?


As a simple illustration, I created three overlapping circles representing three different people: person A, person B, and person C.

At the time, when I had them all filled in with colors, they looked, to me, like the face of a ninja turtle.

However, this is how the diagram works. You will notice that there is a common reality, ABC, we all share. But there are also realities exclusive to each A, B, and C, and realities shared only by A and B, A and C, and B and C.

As a result, perhaps UFOs, or any other phenomena, actually exist, quite literally, for persons A and B, but do not exist for person C.

In “The Crack in the Cosmic Egg,” author Joseph Chilton Pearce suggests that we create reality as we go, even offering the hypothesis that sub-atomic particles did not exist until we went looking for them. If this is so, isn’t it possible that some people create reality faster than others? Isn’t it also possible that some people can create a non-reality in which things common to most people do not exist?
