Well; a new day, another day here in deep space and life does go on. No matter what your situation or condition it happens. I’m more comfortable now. Even without my body armor I’m still me; but remember the power comes from within. What concerns me the most is the anxiety of the spirit and soul? The world must take half the responsibility, and I take the remainder on my own. This physical body can only do so much it gets weary and tired, but my mind continues to think and respond. Control of our destiny is more than immediate. The greater reality exists that within the mind spirit continues. We do not just die and fade away. The greater community of consciousness is our immortal destiny. Even with certain wisdom and our variable knowledge higher powers draw our attention. think of it- living spirits in the Midst of God's Great Mansion; castles in the sky with many worlds within worlds. Our upward mobility surpasses our mortal life in the beginning we rise to the heights and learn to rise even higher. There is no fighting except to over power the tyrants that want what they cannot have. We give ourselves to the Light and shine. We are more than human-we are beings with substance and essence. We become legend and people will talk but that's ok; our legacy gives them something to think about- they distract themselves from their own concerns taking up other peoples business. We must think or ourselves. We re not only responsible for our actions but for our thoughts as well. More and more over we discover our power is greater than we once thought. My body armor only protects me from other beings devices; but it is my mind power that overwhelms their schemes. The human element gives us the advantage of surprise. Forget about morals and ethics, they are like organized religion- we must carry ourselves to our own .standards. Our being is always in a state of becoming. With our memory our life is expanded and with our dreams our life is furthered. If not for memory we would be nothing; acquiring wisdom and knowledge and loosing what we've gained just as quickly. Inside the envelope of the progression of time we attempt to break out and push the envelope beyond its own limits. Nothing can hold us back except ourselves. With this power we are motivated with ambition to excel and really become all we can be. We live in phases of development and regression. One step forward and a half step back shuffling and re-organizing our patterns of thought. This is the life of a warrior fighter pilot; always on the edge making decisions and changing our mind with new plans. Surprise-that’s life. We come to two conclusions: we can reform society or we can reform ourselves. Both have an interaction, but reformation comes from the self-will and by the power of the author of the great mind of the universe to in such a way carry out the primordial plans for the success of the universe. This work has been industrious and pleasurable we must continue exploring the Midst of the universe and the midst of our own intelligent mind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where sparks fly&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;What concerns me the most is the matter of spirit and soul? Though contained in the mind they supersede the mind in energy and power. Though the world can ache at least half the responsibility we live in the spirit of autonomy and live by our will and conscious conscience. Though our plans may not be inline with the Creator's we act and react to stimulus and respond in the spirit of autonomy guided by our own will and conscious conscience. We have the need to listen to the inner mind. We have to take control of our own destiny and consider random chance and opportunity. We live not by the roll of dice or by the draw of a card from a new deck. We play by the rules we make up as we live along time's own path. Let's not make light of the game of life. The Light forces of energy penetrate all continuums. Yea' of course you got to pay to play, Anny up, but the consequences of making life a game may be consequential to the life we live in the day after tomorrow when our living body fails. . Our intelligent spirit and conscious soul have their own life continuum in the higher planes of the great mobius. They live in the Interzone about half way thru the EnFold Way. Now the first mystery has been fully revealed the Alpha Principle is effectual. All Omega Knights have gone into the envelope of the Alpha and crossed beyond Omega into Alpha Omega Knighthood. Good luck people. Carry your banner high. Prepare yourselves for the most fantastic flights a pilot could ever imagine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radical realism&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Life is one reality mind is another earth is one reality space is another low earth orbit is one reality deep space is another atmosphere is one reality the seas and oceans are another there is a hole in the bottom of the ocean there is a hole in deep space both lead to the same reality. What has more reality than the world? Could it be something in your mind? Perhaps so, the mind is a very real place. I’m living the life I know so well and still my imagination carries me away. The way it is, is so very real; the way it was is no longer and the way it could be just might take some doing. The way it is; is truth and no other. God is not a mirage: all is one though we may know different, but the mysterious is available for thinking. Everything that is and was everything that has yet to be born or has died is all one. Sutra: nothing is everything. It was written a long time ago it is already done; now we just live through it so your will be done. There is nothing to escape to except eternal bliss; but first you must believe. The spirit without moving is swifter than the mind; the senses cannot reach it; it is ever beyond the reaching mind without words to describe it. Even a stopped clock shows the right time twice a day. Now initiated into your own loneliness you consider your options and weigh the consequences of your own thoughts. Now free to look outside yourself at the distractions of the world and beyond you see a greater reality does exist. Life is all but routine now once more changed over with another idea that challenges your intelligence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long ago but not forgotten&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Time for me is meaningless now I travel in deep space and the other side has been opened thru a vortex portal in the east of the Milky Way galaxy. From the command center in my fighter craft I see before me great nebula and marvelous things of the first mystery. Heaven has been open to me by my studies at the university library of the planet Ancestadora. I travel vertical off the planet at mach-light speed and find the first mystery open where the beautiful Light emanates from the gates of the lower realms. Once I took the gate to the left and found a deeper space full with void and emptiness, but there in the midst I found light beings in the shape of the sphere. Glowing with brilliance. A voice called out to me; listen and hear. So I thought in my mind and for a moment thought I was in sleep but was very much awake. Two angels came to me in their spiritual form because I was within my mind and not without. One Beatrice and one Sophia. The two came close to me and my mind believed what it saw and they revealed to me some of the mysteries of the heavens. It was a beautiful moment in time but without time. Forever in a moment that lasted just as long as my thoughts could relate. Opportunity curiously shows itself from two sides: tempting fate may not be such a good idea, but challenging fate can change your destiny. There are certain things you need to learn before time envelopes you in the mystery. Demonstrating skill in your abilities of self-control is one. Imagining that which can be is another. The possibility is only as great as your intelligent creativity will allow. Virtue above vice may be only a concept of opinion. While acquiring knowledge of the mystery is a greater knowledge than being in the physical world. Understanding and interpreting is two independent notions or ideas. If we are off just a decimal point our drift will take us in another direction than once intended. The things we cannot conceive are greater than those we can perceive. The unknown holds notions way above science only metaphysics and philosophy can redeem value for. Our creative intelligence has to compensate for our inadequate creativity though some beings think more than others the greater view of reality is proportional to our imagination. When light penetrates darkness the darkness is no more. When the commander entered the vortex portal he saw the light from the other side, but on his return the vortex portal had only darkness that could not penetrate thru the light so the only visible entry way was just a magnetic flux, a generation of visible frequencies of the first mystery. The door gate way was open. It was a matter of faith and trust and belief so he entered the unknown a came out on the first side, the side of reality we all know. Now within his own mind he knew a greater reality did exist and his entrance and exit was like an open door. We viewed this reality from both sides. From the outside looking in he saw light. From the inside looking out he saw darkness. This was the thought to remember. We live in darkness hoping to see the light and the light does penetrate the darkness. But the darkness cannot penetrate thru the light so the lesson here to learn is to keep our mind open to the light so we can live in the light while our being is remaining in darkness. Wisdom is knowing the difference. Knowledge of the higher realms increases our wisdom thru our intelligent imagination. Imagine that. I reside in a world of thought greater than all reality because of my consciousness of something greater than myself, but in my understanding I can imagine that.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Airport notes&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Some believe that human vices all sprang from only two sources: idleness and superstition. And that there are but two virtues: energy and intelligence. With regularity and exactitude we ought to carry out our duties and responsibilities. There seems here a need for clarification of the meanings given to words considering their broader concepts. What is isn't always what ought to be. What is cannot be deniable. While what ought to be remains just a matter of opinion. So I prepared myself for the business of the day. And snapped to my critical judgments. With high concern. What will be and my reaction would be two separate notions. We learn to deal with what is. And still dream of what could be. No time was more important than the present moment and then the dawn took over the dark sky and a new day was born. Every thing isn't done as one expects. The most unusual may happen. Contingency must be strategically planned. Don’t we all just love it when a plan comes together? Especially for the one who makes the plan. It is most convenient to make rule changes along the way. Especially if you are the one making the rules. Changing s a river flows within its banks mixing the new with the old. We need not be afraid of the unknown. But curious of its mysteries. The unknown is greater than the known. Even some of the mysteries of the known cannot be solved then how much more perplexing the unknown becomes while thinking of concepts and possibilities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empathy for the brave&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Dreams busy themselves with our thoughts. On the same day an infant rolls over for the first time an old one shuts their eyes and opens them to the Empyrean Heaven. The life of an alpha omega knight is filled with bravery and sacrifice. We find our place in the permanent and eternal. Self willed to carry out peace missions; but sometimes to go on the offensive and conquer tyranny from the demons of the night. We soar the heavens in our spacecraft reaching new heights and boundaries expanding our universe. We carry a gun and sword but use our intellect deciding when it is appropriate. We use voice communications to express our thoughts. It is an ancient belief life goes on after our mortal death; but there is more if only you stretch your creativity beyond your natural limits with integrity and logical reason. Some of us are indigenous to this Earthly world; some of us are from far beyond the imaginable and still we are all the same- fighters for our simple existence. We live with debt and doubt yet overcome these with invested payments from work and the job- and from our simple ambition to break away into certainty and principle. The axiom comes from plain geometry- structure and form. Life’s circle becomes square; triangle becomes cube- the infinite becomes finite and space has no threshold but Heaven itself. We infer and surmise reason from circumstance and our actual condition is more complex than simple. We try to make sense where there is none but come close to a reasonable explanation. We seek for constant improvement- continual change for the better and never a stagnant moment wasted without sincere thought. Moved by the spirit we witness glory in our life and find nobility in impoverished places. The high among the low- we are alpha omega knight- brother hood voweled to protect and serve the Federation. With a curious eye and hand we can touch what surrounds us- with curious mind we realize the miracle and wonder-life itself-how can it be? /but it is and we need it better as magnificent creation works itself out in the present continual future. this thread when twined with more weaves a tapestry between the seen and unseen- between the known and unknown; weaving imagination into reality. No one knows for sure- we take a chance with life but not gamble-we chance for certainty and truth. Motivation runs deep within our heart flowing and pumping the life force within us and our mind races with the impossible making it more probable than ever before. You can run but you cannot hide. Your conscience is part of the collective. you are not alone- you live with your shadow in the light of day and seek illumination to the mysteries life holds -it is your quest- you are the beginning and the end- yourself a spark to ignite the fire of wisdom your brain holds as treasure in the mind&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-1635902641921388532?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/1635902641921388532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=1635902641921388532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/1635902641921388532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/1635902641921388532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2011/11/thinking-philosophicaly.html' title='Thinking Philosophicaly'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-2239980341211801312</id><published>2008-06-13T17:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-13T17:37:57.293-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Notes from the pen of a philosopher'/><title type='text'>Another View</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000066;"&gt;   The mind works on two principles; a reluctant outward disposition and a self contained inward hesitancy to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;search ourselves for the answers to the questions we ask. Life is fair. The most we can do is to expect the best, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;but that is reserved for those who excel and labor in thought. The least we can do is to anticipate what will come;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;and nothing will if we accept mediocrity and take life at face value. There is more to it than we can imagine, but our creative intelligence may,perhaps, make up for any lacking in thought or thinking. Our options are limited. The choice has to be one from reason and sureness, and certainty of the facts that we cannot be challenged by fear;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;straight away we go into the world with our genius and wisdom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;There is an intermediary between everything and nothing. There would be no thing without something to give meaning to it. This something is our creative intelligence. From this principle we can realize that heaven itself is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;beyond the bounds of the universe and still remains within our mind. The universe is a material thing so therefore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;it is finite. The mind and heaven are infinite things and therefore beyond reality as we know it because both are unexplainable to a degree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;The midpoint between contentment and complacency occupies the present and its mediacy is a name for the total&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;absolute plentitude in a state of consciousness about our condition. Once our abilities are realized our potential&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;becomes more infinite than we can believe, but we do believe from our aptitude for learning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;If one would consider a starting point, or origin of the development of one's self; we must begin wherever we are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;and the thought of the trace of the future that surrounds the present is a justifiable point of departure for where&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;we are in the here and now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-2239980341211801312?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/2239980341211801312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=2239980341211801312' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/2239980341211801312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/2239980341211801312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2008/06/another-view.html' title='Another View'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-4046315478742711520</id><published>2008-04-24T18:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-24T18:50:10.620-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creating a Certainty of the Spirit'/><title type='text'>Communication and thought</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"&gt;When the mind does its work it is being creative. First the thought has to come to expression from its original&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;idea or notion. There are various problems as regards language. First of what actually occurs in our mind when we use language with intention and meaning something by it. Second as to what is the relation between words and the thoughts they intend to express; the thought itself, the reference to what the words imply and how they are received by the one listening or reading them. We must as well understand the use of them in our own thought patterns. And third as to the using of words in conjunction with phrases and sentences the thoughts express and their relation of one statement to another conveying the idea or notion of the original thought. The last is a logical question which is of most concern that our expressions have the meaning intended. In practice language is merely as precise as the words used to portray a given thought. The object of philosophy is an activity clarifying thoughts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;from one person to another. IT IS AN ACTIVITY PRODUCED BY THE MIND TO DISCOVER LOGICAL CONNECTIONS between things and other ideas created from the mind itself. So in a manner of speaking we pass knowledge to one another and create for ourself a basis of elemental thoughts that our own philosophy can be grounded to and raised to the heights of creative thinking ; or the dreams themselves we are given thought to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;We must ,originally, have a notion of a greater world than the one we know so that we can have a certain sureness of the spirit within and that which surrounds us metaphysically speaking of the great spirit of nature itself and the intelligent spirit of the architect of nature just the same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-4046315478742711520?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/4046315478742711520/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=4046315478742711520' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/4046315478742711520'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/4046315478742711520'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2008/04/communication-and-thought.html' title='Communication and thought'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-9215184625301236673</id><published>2008-04-15T17:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-15T18:16:25.811-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life Force'/><title type='text'>Creating a Philosophy</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Philosophy is a broad spectrum of thought and thinking.  As one develops a certain way of thinking it comes to mind just how we relate to ourselves and to the world. The inner explores the inner and at the same time the outer. Not only do we relate to ourselves but we relate to the world; there is this relationship that occurs simultaneusly between the mind and spirit. &lt;/span&gt;We pursue this connection from instinct and insight into our consciousness. Not only do the people around us affect us; but we affect ourself  from the certain way of thinking we occupy ourself with. Life is so full of mystery it is no surprise when random chance gets itself involved in our life. It is not only our reaction we are given to; but the thinking process of how and why we react as we do. It has been said that the impact of an action is more than the action itself. If we add to philosophy a bit of theology life becomes even more interesting. It is the addition of soul to spirit and mind that increases the mystery. Still, we go about our ways without a care except for those who labor in thought.

Music has the same effect on us; it reaches into our inner depths and soothes the soul of the listener with solemn and impressive passion. Perhaps the writer or creator had that purpose in mind ? Because each of us have our individual qualities, our likes and dislikes, they do not compromise &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;our own character but bring it out into the open. Yet the effect is different for each of us. For that reason we &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;should calculate what affects our own disposition has on others and come to some conclusion about its significance. Sometimes we have to compromise ourself; but that is where our decision making process brings out our true wisdom.

Therein we are required more than casual study; it takes some effort to learn and comprehend our learning. After that there must be allowed a certain amount of time for reflection and meditation. What evolves is a personal configuring of the way we think. After that we come to realizations and conclusions about what we think we know or believe without verification. It is our Spirit that moves us to further thought bringing new and bold conclusions to the surface of our mind where we can consider and become more aware of its presence in the world and in our life.Sometimes we must take notions and beliefs as a matter of faith and bring these revelations to logical conclusions. It is our will to succeed and to excel along with our motivation and ambition that we create our own destiny. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-4223999198515646112?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/4223999198515646112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=4223999198515646112' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/4223999198515646112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/4223999198515646112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2008/03/metaphysical-development.html' title='metaphysical development'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-8060298196229287820</id><published>2008-03-12T18:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T18:32:31.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dreams and Memory'/><title type='text'>elemental thoughts</title><content type='html'>it is important to understand applications to be sucessful at any attempt to explore and discover your own potential abilities and express them in the way you intend.If you are missing some knowledge any attempt to excel will be limited. For understanding to be complete one needs the tools of comprehending the applications needed to fulfill the task at hand. It is the knowing that leads us in the direction of our goal; to excel and succeed at what you are trying to achieve.Our fault is that we have doubt of what is certain; but the human mind is reasonable in spite of all the unreasonable things that happen in our cycle of living. Random opportunity and chance have their effect on us bringing us to even greater heights of thought and sincere thinking. The question comes to mind: can I dictate the life I want to liveand am going to experience? The answer is perhaps yes; but the unknown and unexpected have an effect on us. We have two choices: the first is to evolve in our way of thinking and associating our inner thinking with our surroundings. The second is to regress. Without knowledge we cannot evolve in a way that will assure our progress; but there is some gain to be had from looking back, so we were given memory to enhance the effect of our own thoughts and the thoughts of others.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-8060298196229287820?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/8060298196229287820/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=8060298196229287820' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/8060298196229287820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/8060298196229287820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2008/03/elemental-thoughts.html' title='elemental thoughts'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-4479639385820621153</id><published>2008-03-12T18:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T17:47:40.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exploration and Discovery'/><title type='text'>Just a thought</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d8d0c8;font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#003300;"  &gt;Everything is factual that reality shows us.

Man alone is not the only creature to think. As for reflection and giving thought to thinking man may well just be the only creature to do this activity. What separates us from all other living and thinking creatures is our ability to think about our own thoughts and find a way and means for its expression. Think now just who created thought? We think for ourselves and sometimes we have to think for others. Those at the top of the pyramid have that responsibility. How one gets to the top is by actualizing the reality of  our ability to excel and our aptitude for learning; and applying that learning to our life experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-6885303615571914575?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/6885303615571914575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=6885303615571914575' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/6885303615571914575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/6885303615571914575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2008/03/common-sense.html' title='Common Sense'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-1529665157549522476</id><published>2008-03-12T18:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T18:16:38.622-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music and thought'/><title type='text'>Pen and Paper</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#333333;"&gt;It is our pen and paper that catches our thoughts when we have the mind-set to express ourself with the intent to save and review what has come to mind. In our thoughts we have no paper except for our memory. A special gift to humanity. The pen we use is the mind's ability to create, imagine, invent and portray meaningful notions and ideas. There is no model, our deliberate intelligence surfaces in the moment of wonder. The symbols we use give meaning to the images represented in a form we can comprehend and understand. Music is another language that gives expression to the artist's thoughts. The machine is no more intelligent than the user. Music is a language all of itself that the mind recognizes and interprets. In our knowledge we have an understanding and in music without lyrics we know tones, notes, melodies, harmonies and compositions that provoke the mind to further itself in another realm of intelligent creativity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098276070189615371-1529665157549522476?l=scott-locke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/feeds/1529665157549522476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098276070189615371&amp;postID=1529665157549522476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/1529665157549522476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098276070189615371/posts/default/1529665157549522476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scott-locke.blogspot.com/2008/03/pen-and-paper.html' title='Pen and Paper'/><author><name>elemental</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15258735113893965204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ALDeygnUvGA/R7vzYbBQw9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/yhZFlq2_N6U/S220/space+man.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098276070189615371.post-5875279710891598262</id><published>2008-03-10T19:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T18:19:08.931-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intelligence'/><title type='text'>insight and reason</title><content type='html'>it is one of our natural qualities to have an awareness to our own intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;what we conceive comes from the depths of our inner mind. our imagination only adds&lt;br /&gt;a certain character to our expression. from deep within our mind we have notions and ideas that flow through our consciousness into written words and language. from our insight and reason we understand what we want to express but the limited utility of language prevents us from expressing what we really want to convey through the thought of the idea or notion our mind produces.
