• Courage is one’s ability to defy fate and logic
• The universe is just as lazy as any person. That’s why everything is constantly looking for a lower energy state. A simple example is that a ball wants to roll down a hill to lower its potential energy. But on a grander scale, the reason for entropy. Entropy is basically the randomness of particles. Random particles take less energy to maintain than ordered particles
• Evil nucleates from good. Something that has a high potential to be good also has a high potential to be evil. To be good means to recognize both possibilities and choose good for the sake of good, even if evil is more beneficial to one’s self (which in the short term tends to be the case)
• Viewing your life from a 3rd person point of view in real time
• The tactility of music and how it physically feels in different parts of your body
1. Low sounds rumble through your body and feels like vibrations
2. High sounds cut through your body. You especially feel this sharp cutting feeling in your ears and face
3. The base drum has a feeling like a rubber mallet hitting your chest
4. The ability to use this physical feedback to much sounds and voices with your own voice
• Using groupings of ideas to figure out why you like some things but not others
1. Example grouping 1 [Parham, case, college, taco bell]
2. EG2 [interaction, friends, strangers, smoking, drinking, talking]
3. Different combinations of these ideas affect how much you like certain activities/ideas/actions
• I know who I am. I’m whoever I want to be at any given time. I’m not limited by false notions of what I think I am.
• Confidence and resolve are things that we can lend to others (think kamina from TTGL and Giorno from JJBA).
1. The ability to share these things is what makes a good leader
• If you don’t know something, you’re probably not ready for it. It’s our duty to prove ourselves by taking the knowledge and showing that we can handle its power and influence.
• Secrets and hidden knowledge are the strings that ties everyone’s individualistic worldview together
• How the parable of the talents applies to the meaning of life
• Reiki may have a connection to blood and how it flows through our body. Could also explain why breathing plays such a significant role.
• I’m glad that evil exists, so that it can do what I never want to do, but needs to be done
• True love is when two individual stories happen to overlap perfectly together (inspired by episode 1 of Clannad)
• You control fate as much as fate controls you
• Increasing the organization of nature increases the magnitude of the vector of influence it can have. However, it is up to us to decide its direction of influence (e.g. increasing our understanding could provide us with another energy source, but it could also be used to make more devastating nuclear weapon. It is up to us to decide how we use our knowledge)
