Re: Blind Men, Elephants, Descartes and the guy who sells Cosmopolitan
Maybe the secret for success is: follow your intuition.
Descartes, Bill Gates, The guy who sells Cosmopolitan, and a farmer are just people. With their own ideas and personalities.
The problem is that some people are _constantly_ looking for role models.
Looking for idols (it could be a Rock star or Mozart)... it doesn't matter who's the idol.
I know... it is part of our psychology, specially when we are child and we observe (and absorb) to our maternal/paternal figures.
Nevertheless, I believe we should be able to remain opened to other people ideas, always listening, and always thinking for ourselves. Sounds easy, right? :D
We can learn from others. But I think we also have to try to live our own words/thoughts, in our own lives, day by day.
So, action is a must. (yes, I know the Wu Wei ideas... but you know what I mean).
What if all this game on this realm, is about making choices and just living. A joyride.
There are endless accounts of people who had an NDE, and they come back because they have 'work to do'. Although they don't know exactly what they have to do.
