"Today, Silicon Valley is known around the world as a fount of technology innovation and development fueled by private venture capital and peopled by fabled entrepreneurs. But it wasn't always so. Unbeknownst to even seasoned inhabitants, today's Silicon Valley had its start in government secrecy and wartime urgency.

In this lecture, renowned serial entrepreneur Steve Blank presents how the roots of Silicon Valley sprang not from the later development of the silicon semiconductor but instead from the earlier technology duel over the skies of Germany and secret efforts around (and over) the Soviet Union. World War II, the Cold War and one Stanford professor set the stage for the creation and explosive growth of entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. The world was forever changed when the Defense Department, CIA and the National Security Agency acted like today's venture capitalists funding this first wave of entrepreneurship. Steve Blank shows how these groundbreaking early advances lead up to the high-octane, venture capital fueled Silicon Valley we know today."

Criticizing is easy

Mornin',

So before these storm clouds arrived with cooler temperatures, the world, my memories, the present, the future played calumny with angst. Derision against decision quagmired this solo voice of contra-experience with majority rules. Outnumbered, alone with zero support again, getting stymied by private perfidy.

Why was I culled? How long must I contend with small minds? Who are these well organized angry people? Thinking Causality, How did they become them?

These 4 walls with a keyboard do give sanctuary with insight but sooner more than later interaction with them will occur, and it is rarely good. It is mostly predatory on their end and I am not prey, never have been, never will be. So the contension continues. Their cries of victim are well cloaked lies of the victimizer. Solace is found in awareness of their presence but is challenged by the majority support for their masquerade by the deceived.

Herein is where Truth recharges:

You are reading from the book Touchstones

There is nothing as easy as denouncing. It don't take much to see that something is wrong, but it takes some eyesight to see what will put it right again.

—Will Rogers

We come to this day with a choice of whether to be for something or against it. Shall we put energy into what we seek and admire or shall we give our energy to opposition and resistance of what we dislike? If someone asks a favor, we have a choice to resent and resist the intrusion or to engage with the person and see where it might lead. If a project we are working on is frustrating, we can wallow in criticizing it or try to get a clearer picture of what will work and what we want.

Criticizing may be a helpful first stage in learning, but it is seductive because it holds little risk and we feel safe doing it. In that comfort we forget to go forward to create what we really want. Our negative energy, when we are seduced by it, creates negative results. When we look back upon today, we will admire those choices that risked creating something positive.

Today, I will not give my energy to denouncing but to creating what I believe is worthwhile.

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

You will jump to it someday. Then you'll fly. You'll really fly. After that you'll quite simply, quite calmly make your own stones, your own floor plan, your own sound.
—Anne Sexton

A young man sat beside a whispering creek all day for years, never moving. The townsfolk who watched him wondered whether he heard the gurgling creek sounds, or felt the sting of insects, or saw the raccoons when they came at night to sip from the cool, dark waters.

One day the young man rose and dashed up the hill above the creek. There, using all the healing strength of the stream, which he had quietly absorbed over the years, he gathered stones. He arranged them layer-by-layer to fit the plan he had thought out by the creek, and feverishly he built his home. When done, he let out a brassy, booming holler of joy. Imagine the townsfolk's surprise when they turned their eyes to that lonely spot by the creek and saw a huge castle of stone above the place where the young man once rested.

What plans can I make during my idle hours today?

“At MIT we love bold experiments, the kind that change the rules, and we have an impressive record of making bets that win. That fearless experimental spirit coupled with intense collaboration among investigators, with the support of philanthropic friends, is exactly what will drive us to next level in brain research.”

You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go

Competition Between Martyrs

"Yes, I know your spouse is an alcoholic, but my son is an alcoholic, and that's different. That's worse!"

My pain is greater than yours!

What an easy trap that can be for us. We are out to show others how victimized we have been, how much we hurt, how unfair life is, and what tremendous martyrs we are. And we won't be happy until we do!

We don't need to prove our pain and suffering to anyone. We know we have been in pain. We know we have suffered. Most of us have been legitimately victimized. Many of us have had difficult, painful lessons to learn.

The goal in recovery is not to show others how much we hurt or have hurt. The goal is to stop our pain, and to share that solution with others.

If someone begins trying to prove to us how much he or she hurts, we can say simply, "It sounds like you've been hurt." Maybe all that person is looking for is validation of his or her pain.

If we find ourselves trying to prove to someone how much we've been hurt or if we try to top someone else's pain, we may want to stop and figure out what's going on. Do we need to recognize how much we've hurt or are hurting?

There is no particular award or reward for suffering, as many of us tricked ourselves into believing in the height of our codependency. The reward is learning to stop the pain and move into joy, peace, and fulfillment.

That is the gift of recovery, and it is equally available to each of us, even if our pain was greater, or less, than someone else's.

God, help me be grateful for all my lessons, even the ones that caused me the most pain and suffering. Help me learn what I need to learn, so I can stop the pain in my life. Help me focus on the goal of recovery, rather than the pain that motivated me into it.

Bane

Mornin,

The know-it-all, better-than-thou-istics, have been the bane of my existence.

Stereotypicism, shallow value systems, sheltered by same thinkers created a lifetime of unnecessary disability. Perfidy injured. Perdition maintained. Mind Games for some, Power Trips for others, a Real waste of Time and energy in general.

Life is not painless, it is not meant to be pain full, for anyone.

Childhood is a fixator. In utero is a begatment.

From initial contact at birth, the brain begins collecting data to be referred to in it's learning processors. Male or Female are definite pardigms for progenation. "Boys over here, Girls over there" or vice a versa, either way it is division. Hopefully one makes it to Adulthood physically, but Mentally is that a given? Nope!

Just because one becomes an Adult Physically does not mean one becomes an Adult Mentally. This thought is a consensual understanding in any bar, any elevator, any coffee house, or traffic jam. Chat rooms or Comment sections provide ample clues to ones age through vocabulary. Age reveals itself via opinion, words and content.

Content with that?

Fortunately, the Mentally Matured show up from time to time to show me how to think better.

To you I say,

Thank you for visiting
