You’ve been requesting signs, signals, and stoke from the universe this snowy SZN, Here is everything you asked for.
As the Christmas season envelops us in its warmth and anticipation, it beckons us not towards the clichés of resolutions tied to a specific date but towards a deeper understanding—that transformation transcends the ticking of a calendar. Hold on loosely in this exploration where timeless themes from "Report to Greco," the ancient lore of Saint Nicholas, and our favorite emerging archetype (the global local renaissance man) converge, spearheading us through this age of profound transformation.
How will life be in 2024?
Section 1: Do we really need literature in our lives? - "Report to Greco" Book Review
Seven days ago, a chill, rich in potential, but yet-to-get-kinetic cousin of mine asks me “Should I read Nietzche?”, and with my yearly mango margarita in hand I pretty much exactly answered, “Nikos Kazantzakis' masterpiece "Report to Greco" serves as a philosophical beacon, resonating deeply with the essence of intuition and artistry. It echoes the sentiment that the pursuit of change and personal evolution isn't limited to New Year's resolutions; rather, it emerges from within, nudging us to trust our intuitive wisdom and channel it into artistry that transcends the mundane—a timeless philosophy that sparks transformative journeys beyond temporal boundaries.” How did he reply? “Nice”, the cousin replies.
Section 2: Why do we buy presents at Christmas? Are Christmas presents tax deductible?
If we head north from Crete (to Myra, 13 hr by automobile, 12 hr via our mont blanc ‘93 959) we find the enchanted tales of Saint Nicholas, an encounter with a figure whose essence embodies generosity, kindness, and metamorphosis. His evolution parallels that of Jonathan Chapman, who you know as J Appleseed, whose boots-on-the-ground entrepreneurial steeze evolved into the modern-day global-local. The new renaissance man, remember? This figure symbolizes a fusion of? You guessed it: the artist and the business mind aka “The Guy who does the Best Things’. This Artist of Life approach, simply a lifestyle choice these days, means being the critical point—an embodiment of mastery spanning mind, body, and soul, transcending conventional labels to redefine success and influence, even if it means taking up campaigns in the dream sphere to make the world a jolly ol’ place.
Section 3: How Mushrooms Work - Are Mushrooms good for you?
As we reflect amidst the twinkling Christmas lights and the promise of a new year, it's an opportune moment to ponder what this new earth player actually does (the approach we’re going to take). Rand's prophetic insights echo in this era—a figure not constrained by geographical limits but instead resonating with the mastery and the mystery across diverse and unknown domains. It’s a slackline between thought and action, a daily surf session along the point breaks of the spectrum of consciousness. This Dude (a character alive within you) blurs the boundaries of traditional spheres, knitting the synthesis of business acumen and artistic finesse, challenging the norms and ushering in a new paradigm of success and influence.
Conclusion:
Amidst the festive glow and the anticipation of a new year, let's redirect our focus away from conventional and death-by-boring resolutions towards a deeper understanding and more exponential trajectory. Embrace this season with a mindset aligned with the profound wisdom encapsulated in timeless tales and the evolving narratives of our era; seek truth and you will be. For within this convergence lies the essence of change—an introspective journey grounded by intuition, liquified with artistic expression, and plasma-fied by the emerging archetype, an enlightened Mathew McConaughey levitating on thought, cigar, and, everydaydose in his Ben Franklin style study room? —a beacon illuminating the path towards transformation in this age. Be the beacon.
