"You Were Born For Such a Time as This"

[rumpel]

New Year's Message from IONS President James O'Dea

Just what is your speed as you cross the threshold from 2006 to 2007? Time is accelerating quickly, isn’t it? How many emails are in your inbox? How many times do you get in and out of your car? How many bits of information do you need to retain? How much "news" can you take in? What is your data absorption capacity?
And how much time does all that leave for quality relationships?
"Time is an illusion," Einstein noted, "but a very persistent one". It can be the great illusion that drives everything in your life at greater and greater speeds, taunting you with the notion that you will be left behind if you are not taking in more and more every nanosecond. And so the very tools that liberate us can also leave us frustrated and enslaved if they manage to rob us of a fundamental and centered awareness concerning the source of our being.

Just love these people...

We can now say: "Prof. Einstein, the gift is returning", and I would not be surprised his soul-self was warping in and out of this realm having a ball :)

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

~ Albert Einstein

collectively, we have such a great depository of wealth in shared wisdom in this forum, I think we can weather quite a bit of external turmoil -should they arise
