Visualisation and Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee wrote this letter to himself in 1969...
"I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce Lee
1969"
He then went on and achieved exactly what he intended.
You decide why... :)

Notion #6
"We don't need no more rappers, we don’t need no more basketball players, no more football players; we need more thinkers. We need more scientists, we need more managers, we need more mathematicians, we need more teachers, we need more people who care…we need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that. We don’t need anymore entertainers." — Tupac

This news is a few weeks old now, but still interesting nonetheless. I wonder what it is.
Thought of the day #4: Time
The nature of time can be found in the nature of... well... nature.
Time moves along like how a fern tree is structured. On every fern tree you can focus on a leaf which is like a mini fern tree in itself. Then on THAT mini fern tree there is ANOTHER mini-er fern tree, and so on. The cycle repeats and gets infinitely smaller and divided up into little mini fern trees until all a fern tree leaf comprised of ALL fern tree leaves is reached. It reaches a zero point. An inconceivable point of oneness. "Point zero". Same with time.

Clip: Love Police Compilation
Pretty sure these guys are from the crew of Zeitgeist. Not sure though. But nonetheless this is hilarious.
These two dudes go into the public streets of somewhere in UK (?) with megaphones and spread the word of the free human. They perfectly reflect back at people the attitudes of the elite, in humorous fashion. I couldn't stop laughing!
So much truth is getting spurted here it'd make your head spin if it wasn't delivered such a casual, simple and funny fashion . Just watch. It's awesome.

Clip: Tool - 10,000 days hidden track
This is amazing. So it turns out that 3 separate tracks from the Tool album '10,000 days' can be combined into one...
- The track "10,000 days" is 11:13 in length (would've been better if they made it 11:11)
- The track "Viginti Tres" is 5:02.
- And the track "Wings for Marie" is 6:11
Do the math and 5:02 + 6:11 = you guessed it, 11:13. So if you sync up Viginti Tres and Wings for Marie (in that order) up against 10,000 days then you get yourself the hidden track. Kinda like this:
( (viginti tres + wings for marie) + 10,000 days ) = super dooper bonus hidden track.
It's really quite a remarkable thing they've done here. Them tools never cease to amaze me with their intricate music, complex concepts and esoteric implementation of universal truths. Love it!
Here are the songs separately...
- 10,000 Days
- Viginti Tres
- Wings For Marie
If you have the songs from the album on your computer, you can use any basic sound editing software (like Audacity) to sync them up. I recommend syncing them up yourself, because then you can play around with the volume levels and see how the different tracks contribute to the overall track. It's really really really really interesting. BUT, if you can't be bothered doing that, then check out the video below...
Fucking amazing. Gives me chills. I don't know of any band in history that has done something like this. Tool didn't even advertise it or anything. They just wanted to let everyone get their minds blown for themselves. That is so extremely epic.

Thought of the day #3: Knowledge
There's knowledge and then there's 'organised knowledge'. There's a difference. One contributes a million times more to your personal success than the other. Straight up knowledge is information energy. A powerful energy, but useless on its own. 'Organised knowledge' is knowledge that you've applied with intelligent efforts. That's what wisdom is - applied knowledge.
That's a key thing to realise, cos for the past few years i've been absorbing boatloads of knowledge without putting in the effort to remember it properly or spend time considering how i can use the knowledge. Day after day goes by, and before you know it, the new knowledge you receive pushes out the old knowledge that never had the chance to internalize.
Today that cycle stops, and a new positive habit is ingrained. WOOOOOOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP!

Article: Birds use quantum theory to literally 'see' Earth's magnetic field as they fly
This potential discovery is fascinating when you consider that:
- Energy travels through magnetics
- Human emotion affects the magnetic field of the earth
- The magnetic field affects weather (earthquakes etc)
If we can figure out how the birds see the magnetic fields, then maybe we can figure out how we can see them also. And that would surely be an an evolutionary step. Exciting stuff!
Here's the article...
Birds may be able to ‘see’ the Earth’s electromagnetic field as they fly through the sky, scientists have suggested.
Many creatures, including all birds, navigate by sensing the direction of the magnetic forces around our planet to guide them.
But now researchers have found that different reactions are produced in the eyes of all avian creatures depending on which way the field spins.
