Focus

Anything that I can describe with words is limited, and can never promote unlimited understanding, but sometimes writing clarifies things for me. To most people in my world these ideas about life are gibberish, but you’ll understand (maybe). A course in Miracles calls it the holy spirit – Abraham calls it source – I call it love. “Love is all there is” (No Hay Mas Que Amor)

Our life experience is completely controlled by our focus. We all start out as non physical wholeness. Wholeness we will always remain, but a minute portion of our focus is directed towards this “physical world”. Here in this world of duality we focus on separation. That’s all the ego is – focus. It’s not good or bad, but just a minute portion of our awareness focused on the physical. In the book 2150 they called us micro man, because such a minute portion of our awareness became the entire universe. We chose to forget that “projection makes perception” for a more “realistic” experience.

There is only ever one single thing that we are working on in this life: SELF LOVE. When you say “I love you”, it is self love. In this world of apparent duality, you may see a difference between me and you, but in reality this separation doesn’t exist. Everything in your life is a projection of yourself. Cultivating compassion is cultivating self love. Helping others is self love. Forgiving someone else is self love. You can not hold one tiny shred of resistance towards anything and truly love yourself. Me thinks it’s the real reason that spiritual teachers make such a big deal about you releasing resistance to EVERYTHING, even your worst nightmares.

This is what Abraham is all about. Our macro SELF is made up of lots of lives and lots of experiences for practicing self love. Whenever the personality self feels angry, scared, bored, etc. it’s because we’re not in alignment with our whole self. (your emotional guidance system) Any feeling, other than love is our personality self focusing on something that love doesn’t focus on. The Universe keeps expanding regardless. We can’t get it wrong and we’ll never get it done. Because it’s never done, it’s never wrong. YES! These are exciting times. Did I leave anything out?

3D Printed Race car

3D printed Race Car

First 3D-Printed Racecar Is Real And Real Fast

 Jason Torchinsky

As many of you already know, I’m a big fan of 3D printing, especially for its potential for use for cars and car parts. So when reader Kevin sent us this article about “the world’s first 3D printed racecar” I was very, and possibly visibly, interested.

The article’s headline is a bit deceptive, as the car is really only partially built with rapid-prototyping methods. The drivetrain is an innovative electric drive train and there appears to be some manner of more conventionally-built space frame chassis, but the entire body of the car, including side pods and cooling channels, is entirely 3D printed. The large-scale 3D printing was achieved with Mammoth Stereolithography machines from Materialise.

The car’s body went from design to tangible object in just three weeks.

The car was designed and built by Belgian engineering student group Formula Group T. The car, named Areion, was built for competition in Formula Student races. It’s pretty damn impressive. The 617 lb car can go from a dead stop to a mile-a-minute in about 3.2 seconds with its 224 HP electric motor.

Taking advantage of what 3D printing can do, the Areion has a shark-skin like texture on the surface of the nose of the car, which could help with aerodynamic efficiency, similarly to how a shark’s own skin permits more rapid passage through water. The body is also printed with all support clips and connection points built in for ease of assembly/disassembly, and cooling pods were printed with complex inner channels that can cyclone out dirt and material from entering the cooling system.

I really believe that 3D printing will be a very big deal in our future, and I can’t wait to see what it will do for the automotive industry. I think it will do for manufacturing what desktop publishing did for document creation and graphic design— make it vastly more accessible and foster an explosion of new ideas and products. Printing a race car body is just the first step to emailing a file to your preferred large-scale 3D printing company and driving home with a brand-new shooting brake body on your old chassis.

It’s going to be fun, and a little fast race car is a terrific place to start.

Live with enjoyment

Live With Enjoyment

Enjoyment is not something you take. It is something you
give.

Enjoyment is not a function of your circumstances. Enjoyment
is a choice you can make, regardless of the circumstances.

When you choose to enjoy where you are, it opens your eyes
to the positive possibilities. When you decide to enjoy what
you’re doing, your effectiveness skyrockets.

Enjoy your day, and you add joy not only to your own life
but also to all of life around you. Enjoy who you are, and
from who you are will flow great and meaningful value.

Give the gift of your own genuine enjoyment. Demonstrate
your gratitude and immense respect for life by truly
enjoying each precious moment.

Instead of reacting to life with frustration or
disappointment or anger, make the choice to enjoy what life
brings your way. Live with enjoyment, and give the best of
who you are.

Ralph Marston

Re­lease your­self from your own ex­pec­ta­tions


This is going to be hard for many peo­ple and yet one of the most free­ing things that you will ever ex­pe­ri­ence. Stop ex­pect­ing oth­ers to be­have dif­fer­ently! Why? Be­cause you can­not con­trol other peo­ple’s be­hav­ior! Period! I don’t care how hard you try, the il­lu­sion that you can con­trol an­other per­son’s be­hav­ior is just that, an il­lu­sion. I don’t care if the other per­son is two years old or eighty-two years old, they choose to react to you, or a sit­u­a­tion, all on their own. Now you can “wish” they be­have dif­fer­ently, but do not ex­pect it. The best thing you can do for your­self is to ac­cept other peo­ple’s be­hav­ior and the choices they make. You may not agree with them, you may even wish them to do things dif­fer­ently, but ac­cept it. Just as you would ap­pre­ci­ate other peo­ple ac­cept­ing the choices that you make.
