Believe me when I tell you that each person creates their own reality.

Don't feel bad if you have been working on this concept and nothing much seems to have changed. It doesn't happen overnight, not usually. It's an ongoing process, like redecorating the house, involving more people and other factors.

Usually.

I am not the only one who believes this. Deepak Chopra writes, "If your sense of self is constricted, then it expresses itself as a tight and constricted body, a fearful outlook, and an insecure environment...If a critical mass of people were to express their expanded selves, not only would they spontaneously fulfill their personal desires, they would change the very way culture articulates itself."

Compare uptight and rigid with relaxed and expansive. Choose and create good schools, good families, good communities, and good companions.

Create a safe world, full of delight.

Caregivers of all sorts should know this. It is their job to create an expansive environment designed for thriving.

I went to the ocean and noticed that everything adjacent to the ocean was similar in quality. This might sound like a no-brainer, but I saw that the tide left pictures of fishes in the sand.

I went to the Colorado mountains in winter, and the trees there showed the characteristics of frost and snowflakes: sharp, slender, crisp, and spiky. An environment expresses itself in every facet of the "landscape".

Reading the magazine Technology Review, there were many photos of chips, transistors, and processing boards. There was an article about power grids. The power grids look like large information processors. It could compute information if the grids were built in the correct formation and not just seemingly willy-nilly.

Economy of effort with full utilization of design and components are key.

When you become part of a network, you become part of a recipe. The final result will be the combination of all ingredients. Choose good ingredients.

When many people use the Internet and social networking programs, they shape and define what the protocol is and is to be, regardless of the template. The individual members, a group of components, serve as a processing unit.

The Internet, as it exists today, does not resemble what it was originally conceived to be.

You are undoubtedly more than what someone had in mind when you weighed somewhere between two and ten pounds.

Possibly more.

Like music, each member of any group-circuit-board, serves as a separate note, two or three as a chord, and the whole can tune and function as a symphony.

Certain metaphors come to mind.

The content, of what participants of any group think and feel, even if it is subtle and restrained in character and nature, is conveyed to the other members, who process that information, making it a kind of reality.

Even our words, our language, shape and create who were are and how we experience reality. Quantum mechanics seems to be saying that particles don't always make their move until the observer recognizes and chooses it as a reality.

Choose carefully.

Oh, and P.S., you know who you are - you can't really separate what is truly cohesive.
