“Give up defining yourself to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people

don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”  Eckhart Tolle
Jung pinpoint that there are elements of our psyche that are out of our control.
A driving force that influences our decisions. Now, here’s where spirituality comes in, what are these mysterious elements? Are they simply biological drives built into our DNA? Deep-rooted conditioned pathways in our brain? Or is there something greater?
Of course there is.
The importance of spirituality is that its focus is beyond the material dimension. When you look beyond the material, the concept of who we are...
“Though It seems that I know that I know, What I would like to see Is the ‘I’ that knows ‘me’ When I know that I know that I know."
What makes us feel spiritual then? It could be the quieting of a small area in our brains.
The area in question, the right parietal lobe, is responsible for defining "Me," according to Brick Johnstone of Missouri University. It generates self-criticism and guides us through
physical and social terrains by constantly updating our self-knowledge. People with less active Me-Definers are more likely to lead spiritual lives. His research pinpoints a less functional right parietal lobe, which may translate psychologically as decreased self-awareness.
The greatest silencing of the Me-Definer likely happens in the deepest states of meditation or prayer, when practitioners describe feeling seamless with the entire universe. That is, the highest point of spiritual experience occurs when "Me" completely loses its definition.
If one looks into the main religious systems and spiritual philosophies, selflessness is paramount in their teachings. Think of the uni-verse as a cosmic ocean of consciousness. Each and every one of us, on the deepest level of our psyche, is a part of this ocean.
"You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.”
Alan Watts

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread

How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.

Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were


2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work

3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics

4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things

5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley
