The Hubris of Free Will

Jul 21
2009

One of the things we often hear about what makes human beings special and perhaps unique on the planet is that we have free will. But what does that mean exactly? Is it that we are self-directed and autonomous in a way that no other animal is? I think that’s what we mean when we say we have free will. It is what’s behind statements like, ”I get to choose,” “I’m the decider,” “No one tells me what to do,” ” I make the decisions,” ”I set the course.”

But do you? Does anyone?

Are we really capable of charting our own course independently of what’s going on around us, our environment, our history, our beliefs etc.? And if we are, how often do we exercise our… Continue reading

My First Mac

Jun 14

I’ve finally crossed into the light and got myself a Macbook 13″. Yet I’m still compelled by the forces of darkness and will be for some time I think. You see old habits die hard and while I know the Mac is great, the fact is it doesn’t help you make the adjustment to it’s way of doing things and some things I discover are definitely a step backwards. For example, there are no plug-ins for the Mac on Skype and if you own a blackberry you won’t be happy with the Mac version of the blackberry desktop.

Hence the reason I am still pulled to the “dark” side. Apple is truly compassionate however as there is no judgment about my continued dance with old habits, and in fact… Continue reading

The Practice of Making People Wrong (Not)

May 31
2009

Leave a
Comment

I’m so proud of myself. Today I came across an article explaining why it’s wasteful to “pre-wash” dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, and I DID NOT send it out to anyone.

Why is that noteworthy? Because I realized that my sending it out was my way of being right about and making the Pre-Washers I can think of; wrong.

As part of living life as a practice one of the practices I’ve adopted is the practice of observing and noticing things especially about myself. I’ve come to notice the tell tale signs of resistance in my body: feeling tense, rigid, my breathing becoming shallow, my mood becoming irritated, my body language closed, often accompanied by an urge to speak out. Almost every time I

Mexican Music

May 08

I’m standing in the subway heading to mid-town Manhattan. Train is crowded and at a stop I become aware of two short guys wearing cowboy hats, one with a guitar and the other with an accordion get on. I’ve seen this before, these guys work the trains for money. They play about sixty seconds of a song (what I think is Mexican music), they stop and then walk the subway car hat-in-hand asking for money. They then leave the car and move to another at the next stop. They’re self-employed. (smile)

As I continue reading my magazine I notice myself feeling a little annoyed at this. There was a kind of silence in the subway car, as silent as you can get in a subway car, and these

Routine – The Dance

Apr 14
2009

Oh Routine. What am I going to do with you? You make things so mundane, so ordinary, so repetitive and well … so routine. You are the enemy of passion and fun. You are the oppressor of joy.

Oh how rote you are routine?

How repetitive, how boring, how dull?

Where is your spice? Your zest for life?

You are often unannounced and imposed. So full of stealth and so deeply woven into the fabric of my day that often months or years go by and I don’t even see you. I have felt the life ebbing from me before I noticed you.

Why do you imprison me so?

Yet without you I am easily spent

My energy misdirected. My mood anxious

Your Almost Certain Probable Future

Mar 28

Have you ever thought about what path you’re on? About your future and what it will be like? Of course you have or you wouldn’t be reading a blog like mine.

But how often or deeply do you think about what your future will be like? It’s a very curious thing about people? We avoid unpleasant things. OK that’s not so curious. What is curious is that we avoid thinking about what we need to think about, so that we do what we need to do, to avoid unpleasant things. Follow? Don’t stop reading now and prove me right. (smile)

Here’s something to reflect about.

If you continue on the way you’re going, with your current friends, doing what you’re doing, exercising the way you do, on… Continue reading

Customer Service Rep

Jan 29
2009

Leave a
Comment

“But that’s not what’s happening,” I said feeling the irritation in my body and hearing it in my tone. I could tell that the poor customer service representative, who was trying her very best to help me, could feel it also.

I had called in to address a problem I was having with my new computer and my problem was just not being solved, at least not fast enough – read immediately – for me. I realized that old familiar pattern and for a moment reflected on all of the poor innocent and genuinely helpful customer service reps I had decimated over my career as telephone customer from hell. How many customer reps have I sent sobbing into their manager’s office seeking refuge and solace from the unreasonableness, rudeness… Continue reading

Marvin Gaye couldn’t have said it better. Observing and noticing what’s happening within yourself and the world around you is a skill worthy of practice because the better you become at it, the better you will be able to notice what’s important, what’s changing, what’s causing it, and anticipate where things are going. A necessary practice for anyone committed to increasing their ability to adapt to change.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. — 942, William J. H. Boetcker, a Presbyterian minister
